Daniel Had Worked With Thomas and David

In 2004, Thomas Mercer and David Keller had not owned the renovation company alone.

There had been a third partner.

Daniel Voss.

Police records showed Voss had left New York several months before David disappeared.

He was questioned once.

Nothing connected him to the case.

Then he seemingly disappeared from the story.

Thomas had apparently spent more than twenty years believing Voss would eventually come looking for him.

Rebecca Finally Explained What Thomas Had Told Her

According to Rebecca, Thomas had confessed something shortly before they escaped.

In 2004, David Keller discovered that Daniel Voss had been stealing money from the company.

David intended to report him.

Thomas knew about the dispute.

One night, Thomas received a frightened phone call from David.

David said he was meeting Voss.

Then the call abruptly ended.

David was never seen again.

Thomas panicked.

Instead of going to police, he left town.

He believed Voss might think he knew too much.

Rebecca asked:

“Why didn’t you tell police?”

Thomas supposedly replied:

“Because I was a coward.”

For years, nothing happened.

Then the letters began.

Thomas assumed they came from Voss.

He was wrong.

Most came from Evan.

But the SUV outside the house?

Thomas believed that was Daniel Voss.
