It is jarring to be reminded that human nature can be so awesomely wondrous
and so amazingly heinous.
When he was on the phone with her for 45 minutes, was it because by that time, she was considered suspicious and to keep her talking as long as possible could provide more information or at least some insight? I'm curious to know when she became an interest to LE and what was it that tipped it? It's easy now, to look back and tally things up, but at what time did someone say "something doesn't smell right about that one". We've read about the guilty people who insert themselves into an investigation. I realize she was considered her best friend, but with what little we found out about her, surely LE knew much more during the investigation.
I just can't get over 45 minutes unless it was to keep her blabbing in the hopes she'd let something slip.
