Nathan.
Sophie wanted to understand why he had told investigators to stop.
So she began looking into him too.
Nathan Holloway owned a commercial insurance company in Madison.
He appeared successful.
Married.
Two sons.
Community awards.
Charity boards.
A polished life.
Then Sophie found something strange.
His company had once been partly funded by an estate.
Richard Holloway’s estate.
More interestingly, a second beneficiary had existed.
A trust named E.H. Family Trust.
Sophie could not access the details.
But the initials bothered her.
Emily Holloway.
That afternoon, Sophie called an attorney.
Her name was Rebecca Shaw.
She specialized in elder law.
Sophie explained only enough to ask whether Margaret could request records from Richard’s estate.
Rebecca said yes.
But Margaret would need to authorize it.
The next day, Rebecca came to Willow Creek.
Margaret told her everything.
Rebecca listened without interrupting.
When Margaret finished, Rebecca folded her hands.
