"What are your father's and uncle's names?" Nathan said, taking a paper and a pen to record with.
"My uncle is Clive Wilkins, and my father is Thomas Wilkins. Was," Eloise corrected herself. "My father was ill, so I was sent to live with my uncle until he got better."
"Now your father has passed, and your uncle is trying to claim your father's possessions? Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the next male in the family to step forward. Do you have a brother?" Nathan asked as he scribbled down what Eloise said.
"No, but I am getting married. What you must record is that I overheard my uncle confess to having killed my father. We were at a ball when I overheard it. He spoke of my father leaving the home to me, so he killed him and burned the body. I found the ashes when I visited the home," said Eloise.
"Why aren't you writing?" Eloise asked, puzzled as to why Nathan's hand stopped moving. "It is the truth. I heard it."
