Abby meets local conspiracy theorist and podcaster Walter Bell, who is of the opinion that Alex did not commit suicide, as no trace of his body was ever found. He’s always held on to strong suspicions that the powerful Lake family was responsible for boys’ disappearances in the past.
To continue with her investigation, Abby requires access to Charlie Lake’s office; she pretends to have signed the papers authorizing the sale of the motel (she has, in fact, signed them in disappearing ink). While at his office she sees a photo of the Moulins and a woman, Beverly Mole, who worked with them as an animal trainer. Apprehensive of Abby’s inquiries, Charlie makes ominous threats causing her to rush out in fear.
Abby makes contact with Beverly Mole, luring her with casino access along with free hotel accommodation at The Rainbow. Beverly arrives along with her husband Gerry.

Still undeterred and determined, Abby breaks into Beverly’s house where she finds Gerry chained up. He confesses that he and his wife kidnapped Alex, with the intent to blackmail the Moulins. The police arrest Beverly and rescue Gerry, finding crucial and incriminating evidence.
After Gerry’s confession, the case garners a media frenzy. Charlie Lake is soon arrested, all the while proclaiming his innocence in Alex’s murder.
