morning as usual, he was up and out of the house before linda and of the kids were even awake. he normally got up to go to the gym around five for 30. and give me a kiss on the forehead. after working out like clockwork he almost went straight to his job as a physical therapy supervisor. he and linda usually texted soon after. but when linda sent him a message that morning. i didn t get a response, and usually tom is good at responding. and i was getting a little concerned. but maybe he s on a meeting, maybe see no, whatever tied up. she wasn t really worried until her phone brian, it was a friend of tom s name gill. i got a phone call from gill, and he said no i haven t heard from tom either. but he didn t show up at work. what s going through your mind, is there concern? or maybe he s at the gym? tom would never, missed a morning of work. linda jumped in her car to retrace her husband steps.
interested in speaking to anyone close to tom. including his friend that raced to the scene that morning. nunez was his name. he was a prominent local dentist. originally from the dominican republic. how long, i guess, have you known him? we ve been, i mean, i ve known him for four years. but we, were like, starting in friendship like three years ago. gill seemed to know a lot about tom s life, his work hours, his marriage, even his medical history. at any medical conditions that you know? yes. but i know, he had sleep near. investigators also to fish for information about chauvin s wife. has landed doing? i guess. yeah, i ve been. there you know, i go to the house. how she? doing she is not too good. you? now she s very, really, really, really bad. you know. bad shape. that wasn t all gill had to say about linda.
that be? how could i am not have known? a family would wonder if other secrets maybe hidden. why would you do this, how could you be so irresponsible. the whole thing was an atrocity, it wasn t a tragedy, it was an atrocity. it all began just a couple of hours north of new york city. a photographer s dream called the hudson valley. rolling hills, on the majestic river. and quaint small towns. easy good girl. for linda it was the perfect place to raise a family. i grew up in , small schools. yeah, just involved in sports. everyone seems friendly, it seems kind of a small home town, you know. it s where linda lived with her husband tom and their
she was crying on the phone. crying that this had happened and she didn t use the word responsible, but i know that is what she felt. tom s daughter, jillian, who have been close with their step mom, was no furious. why would you do? this how could she be so irresponsible? just math, really, and confused. trying to process it. took a long time to process. i stopped talking to linda that point. linda s sister was also finding out about the affair for the first time. she was just very sad and very upset. i think embarrassed or ashamed for having been in a relationship other than her marriage. what did you tell her, as the protective covers older sister? it s not your fault. she blamed herself from that moment on. he didn t choose this. people have affairs. millions of people. every day.
he was such a sweetheart. so, that morning, when tom went mia, linda was frantic. she jumped in her car to look for him. usually goes to the gym. so, i went to the gym. i pulled in and, at first, i don t see his car. as i pulled further through, i saw his car. so, i just pulled up alongside. i looked over. and i was like, oh, my god. he was laying down. i thought, he fell asleep. like, he looks like he is sleeping. and, i jumped into the car and i opened the car. and i said, what do you doing? they re looking for your work? but tom wouldn t wake up. linda called 9-1-1. all-star 9-1-1, what is the dress of your emergency? i m in i m in the parking lot by planet fitness in kingston. i was looking for my husband, and i found him in his car. and i don t know if he s breathing. what did you think had happened to him? at that point? maybe had a migraine and took some migraine medicine and lay
