When Sally drove home, she looked to make sure that she wasn't been followed. She had a sense that she was but didn't see anyone or anything. She didn't know that someone had been in her home looking around. Three days had been enough time for the person to quickly come in and check out the home. They were careful this time. Last time they had been told to ransack the house and make it look like Mark Malls or someone else connected to him might have done it.
The man who had been at the courthouse drove to Orlando to board a plane for Helsinki. His job was done.
Several weeks later
The jury ruled in favor of the government. The defense attorney had gambled and lost. The jury was disgusted with the defense attorney attacking Molly's character and then attacking Sally and they told this to the press.. The defense attorney had done this to get attention and it had backfired on him big time.
Sally was relieved as was Hotchner. The case was finally over.
A couple of week later Sally was on a dolphin watch cruise in the panhandle. When no one was looking, she threw the diary into the water. Thinking that it was food, a shark tried to devour it and then spit it out. The diary had been bitten into several times and was totally destroyed. Nothing was left except for tiny pieces of paper and due to being wet could never be read.
She knew that she needed to part with it as she'd had the diary now for several years.
