The description hit me like a shock. I paid $200 without blinking and carried it home like a lifeline.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"729\">Felix barely looked at it.

Multiple cars. An evidence bag.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"977\">They said the bracelet matched the missing-person file\u2014meaning it shouldn\u2019t have resurfaced at all. Then the older officer asked a question that turned my blood to ice:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"1042\"><strong data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"1042\">\u201cDid your husband ever tell you Nana came home that night?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1083\">An anonymous tip had claimed she <em data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1082\">did<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1164\">Outside, Felix started shouting\u2014until an officer cut through him with one line:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1233\"><strong data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1233\">\u201cSir\u2026 how did you know the bracelet was ever out of the house?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1283\">The silence that followed was confession enough.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1528\">The search warrant came fast. And when the detective pressed him, Felix finally cracked: Nana came home, discovered the secret accounts and the affair, and threatened to tell me.
