“I didn’t think much of it at first, so I forgot to mention it,” Katie recalled. “I think it was about a month ago. I saw him climbing out of our backyard. I thought he was a burglar, so I confronted him. He said he dropped something in our yard and was retrieving it. I didn’t suspect anything at the time.

“Let’s check the surveillance footage,” Anastasia suggested quickly.

They hadn’t lost anything from the house recently, so it didn’t seem like burglary.

Salma admitted, “I’ve never seen him.” If it hadn’t been for Katie’s disclosure, Anastasia would have been completely unaware.
