And some things, she discovered, were just suspicious.

One of the most haunting things she found in his office was a set of life insurance policies on everyone in their family.

Policies she never knew existed.

Danielle didn't want his explanations.

She cooperated with the police and prosecutors and gave them any evidence they needed.

She sent him one letter in jail, where she said she would be praying for him, but needed to cut off communication.

After that, she filed for divorce.

But letters from Chad never stopped coming.

Every few weeks, there'd be that distinctive envelope in their mailbox.

She never replied, hoping his letters would finally stop coming.

But one day, she got a letter that was different from the others.

While Chad sat in jail, Danielle was trying to rebuild her life.

That's when she began to get strange letters in the mail.

The return address just said the name Eloisa May.

This is what the letters were about.

Finally, Chad, or Eloisa May, got to the point.

The letters were four, five, six pages long, written in a tiny, neat handwriting that didn't look like Chad's at all.

She assumed that either he was disguising his handwriting or got someone in the jail to write it for him while he dictated.

Either way, the character Chad was putting on was so transparently manipulative.

She suspects that he made the character Southern to try to pull on Danielle's heartstrings because her grandmother was from the South.
