I requested the hospital’s available records and supplied Russell with Monica’s emails asking for my phone.
Russell also introduced me to Helen Marsh, an attorney who reviewed the criminal proceedings and investigated whether a petition to overturn my conviction could be supported by new evidence of actual innocence.
Meanwhile, I located Gordon Pierce, Buckeye’s former accountant.
Rather than approaching him unexpectedly, I had Helen arrange a formal interview.
Gordon agreed.
He arrived looking anxious and carried an old, battered folder.
“Rebecca, I should have spoken up years ago.”
Inside were copies of accounting reconciliations he’d retained before leaving Buckeye.
They revealed that funds sent to Halston Ridge Supply eventually reached an account associated with another company, one naming Trevor as its authorized agent.
But Gordon possessed something even more significant.
He produced minutes from a supposed shareholder meeting held March 14, 2022, documenting my alleged transfer of a majority ownership stake to Trevor.
