    “It means the brakes were tampered with initially just enough to cause damage. Over time, as Dolores continued to use the car, the wear and tear made the problem worse, eventually leading to the ident.”


    “That sounds like it was nned, like a premeditated murder!” Elyse eximed, taken aback.
