beth and other close friends said cory didn t really talk about her marriage. so the detective did something no one else had done on this case. he started knocking on doors talking to cory s former neighbors. all the neighbors talked about all the the constant arguing and fighting. so you were getting a picture of what was goin on in that marriage that wasn t in focus in 2006. right. the detective went a step further. he got in his car and drove more than a hundred miles to the university of iowa to talk with someone who would have been an eyewitness to the lovelace marriage. i m adam gibson. nice to meet you. i m a detective with quincy. ok. ok. reporter: lyndsay lovelace, curtis and cory s oldest, was in college, her mom s alma mater, when she was summoned to the campus police department to talk with detective gibson. i was very confused why someone from quincy had driven there. the questions that followed didn t clear things up at least not at first. the
