Added documents[edit]

The Marion County Circuit Court has uncovered several documents that I have added to the biography. The documents include Rachel's bill of sale, an accounting of the cash found on the Delaney property after his murder, and a letter from Rachel and Nathan's lawyer regarding the $1,000 settlement.
