Chapter Twenty-Eight

Excerpt from Testimony of Jolene Montgomery

Ada Olson: Isn’t it true that you were concerned about Grace before she was a suspect in Emile Dresiér’s murder?

Jolene Montgomery: In what way?

Ada Olson: You sought a psychological evaluation of your daughter when she was five years old. Isn’t that right?

Jolene Montgomery: Yes, but . . .

Ada Olson: And what did that evaluation say?

Jolene Montgomery: That she had an extremely high IQ. That she had some impulse issues . . .

Ada Olson: I have the report here. It says more than that.

Jolene Montgomery: Okay.

Ada Olson: It says that she demonstrated signs of conduct disorder—a precursor to antisocial personality disorder in adults.

Jolene Montgomery: Yes, but that all went away after I got her on the ice. There’s been no sign of it since she was six or seven.

Ada Olson: Until the day Emile Dresiér disappeared. It’s right here—captured in this video.
