Summary

In this final chapter, we step back. We talk about what this case did to us, the conspiracy theories like Pizzagate, QAnon, and cannibalism and what happens when public trust in institutions collapses. We also ask the bigger question: now that the storm has passed and the inferno has been exposed, what does accountability actually look like going forward.
