she didn t want to sit down with her husband and explain to him that the business you spent your entire life building, i ve destroyed by not paying taxes. they re going to take it all away from you. apparently, amy mistakenly believed that bob s death would take her off the hook. amy thought that because bob was the owner of the business, that all liability would fall on him and if he was no longer there, there was no one to accept that liability. so if bob wasn t alive, the chances are that the irs agents would just quit and go home. prosecutors believe that amy panicked when the irs demanded a meeting with her husband. instead of telling bob what she d done, amy chose murder. the night before the irs meeting, amy put the children to bed and waited for bob to fall asleep.
[ bleep ] friends left. noah and bob grew up together. bob employed him as a contractor and noah served as best man at his wedding. when questioned by police, noah hime denied any involvement. he also had an alibi for the night of the murder. investigators started to doubt whether the killer was someone from work. he would do anything to help somebody out. one of his workers would come up, you know, say, robert, i m a little low on money this week, and he would just pull out his wallet, pull out a couple hundred dollar bills and give it to him, say, pay it back whenever you get a chance. now investigators turned to the racy photographs they found in bob s safe. apparently, bob bosley worked hard and played hard. boat parties on lake cumberland were his favorite escape. and he d take friends, clients, and lots of young women.
was there nudity? yeah. a lot of alcohol? yeah. it was at one of these parties that bob met darla cope, one of the women in the pictures. she was ten years younger than bob, and there were rumors they d had an affair. but darla told police she had an alibi for the night of the murder. there was no bad blood, there was no reason for her to commit the crime or a jealous boyfriend or husband that would have come in and committed the crime because of her. when questioned, amy bosley claimed that bob did most of the partying, but the evidence contradicted that. she partook in the same type party atmosphere he did. it wasn t uncommon for her to be on the houseboat with other people in some sort of state of undress. there were a lot of rumors surrounding bob and amy s relationship and their marriage. i think people thought that it was possible that both of them were having affairs. and when police interviewed the bosley s children who were 7 and 10 at the time, they
there was hundreds of dollars strewn across the floor that had been in a hat with a wallet. amy bosley told police she thought the killer might be one of bob s clients or employees. there s times when bob has disagreements with people. he s pretty nasty. and he s very in their face. you definitely know where he stands and what he thinks. he had a high turnover rate, so if someone was fired from his job, a disgruntled employee, that would be another area that we would have to check. amy told police about an argument bob had with his friend noah hime just two days before the murder. noah owed bob money and he gave him a check for, like he owed him i think over $1,000 and he only paid, like, $200 of it. i remember bobby saying you [ bleep ] around with people you re not going to have any [ bleep ] friends left. noah and bob grew up together.
investigators were convinced that the key to finding out who killed bob bosley could be found in the evidence at the crime scene. the police were executing a search warrant on the residence, and one of the areas where they decided to look was in the basement. there, hidden beneath the stairs, investigators found an aluminum baseball bat with something embedded in the soft aluminum. the fresh scratches on the bat are important because that represents probably more recent damage. they were shiny with very sharp edges and they had some fine white powdery material in them. forensic examiner maureen botrell discovered that the material was glass. botrell compared it to the glass from the broken window at the crime scene using what s called
