She had just married D M Thaman a year prior. I wonder how they became estranged.

View attachment 521809She had just married D M Thaman a year prior. I wonder how they became estranged.

As I've researched, how they became estranged is quite the case.

Gail allegedly attempted to murder her husband with a butcher knife. He rolled out of the way, leading to him being stabbed in the hand. I say allegedly because Gail's husband decided to not press charges. He later died of a drug overdose a month after Gail vanished.
There is no evidence linking Gail's husband or his death to her disappearance.
