Sandie discovered a concealed note offering two choices: destroy it and continue normally, or sign the Traitor Contract and accept an alternate path to victory.
She signed. If nobody correctly identified the Grinch by the final vote, Sandie would win. Nobody did. The contract triggered.
A communication addressed to Sandie was recovered from the residence mailbox shortly after CASE 12-25 was reopened.
The public photo release includes the marked envelope, recovery location, evidence marking, letter and reverse side.
The residence connected to the Christmas Incident has been indexed as an active scene reference.
Some annotations remain unverified. Not every marked observation should be treated as a confirmed clue.

Sandie agreed to a supplemental interview after CASE 12-25 was reopened. The interview produced new questions — and the first physical communication recovered since the investigation resumed.
The chronology separates what the family actually identified from what was disclosed afterward.
The family investigates the Grinch.
No participant correctly identifies the Grinch. Sandie's Traitor Contract activates and she wins.
Savannah is named only after Sandie's victory and after the family vote has ended.
The difference between identification and disclosure becomes the foundation of the new investigation.
These files exist, but public clearance has not yet been issued.
