Police obtained Brielle’s care file through lawful process after Tessa showed them screenshots and Brielle’s devices became relevant.
The file was titled:

Inside:
Care logs.
Photographs.
Text screenshots.
Pediatric appointment notes.
A timeline.
Brielle had marked Tessa’s difficult moments in red.
Crying.
Fatigue.
One missed vitamin.
One night of expressed frustration.
A photograph of dirty pump parts in a sink.
Another of Tessa asleep on a sofa while Daniel held June.
Then:
Protective factors — Marlow Estate.
24-hour staff.
Brielle available.
Eudora available.
Nursery ready.
Security.
Driver.
Private pediatric access.
Then:
Risk factors — Tessa.

Strong dependency on Alphonse.
Resistance to support.
Emotional reactions.
Unwillingness to share caregiving.
No physician diagnosed Tessa as incapable.
No therapist.
No social worker.
No child-protection agency.
This was a family dossier pretending to be clinical.
Then a note:

They were not merely helping.
They were building a story.
One final line:
Goal before Daniel returns from Denver: June sleeps east wing, Tessa signs consent, Brielle listed as secondary caregiver.
