our story. it was converted to loft apartments in those boom years before the bust. and the style of living and location drew a distinct crowd. i loved this building. it was fabulous. born into privilege in england, raised in ireland and africa, she came here in august 2006 to visit a friend. i came on holiday and i met christopher and we just hit it off. christopher wright, a real estate developer lived in the same building and there was a party and bianca was invited. in one night you knew? yeah. to some who watched. i think she brought that playfulness out in chris. he was a positive guy and he was ecstatic after.
seemed to be going nowhere. then as detective carriger was about to leave novak s apartment he showed novak the surveillance video from that cellphone store. he looked at it and said, that s chris wright. he s my neighbor. he lives two floors below. chris wright, his good friend and husband of the irrepressible bianca. this is definitely somebody we want to talk to. carriger arrived unannounced at chris wright s office. almost before he asked a question, he said, chris launched into a story about ken dolezsar. claimed the man was so paranoid he wanted chris to buy a prepaid cell phone so they could communicate in complete privacy. to detective carriger the story seemed a little too ready or rehearsed. almost as if he was covering trying to account for things we knew. i see. odd. then as the interview went on, he said, chris voice began to sound familiar.
was covered with dna and fingerprints that did not match chris. nor did bianca buy lee carlson s story. he said that the guy had an eastern european accent. christopher is american born and bred. he said that he d only seen a glimpse of his face. in fact, said bianca, the eyewitness account more properly eliminated chris as a suspect. all agreed, remember, that ken and his killer arrived together at the crime scene in the same car. but think about it, said bianca. i just looked at him going. would chris wear a wig to a meeting with someone that already knew him, had met him, particularly someone as cautious as ken. you have a deeply paranoid man ken dolezsar who is doing business with christopher and has met him. you don t think if christopher got into the car all wigged up that he would think that that was slightly strange? and if the eyewitness was
personal experience. he himself was a felon, served a year in federal prison for mail fraud. but he was the type of guy that could take bad luck and turn it into the a fortune. so most everyone in the building seemed to be living large in those good old premelt down days when into the mix was introduced a new ingredient, a businessman with real money. it was novack said bianca who did the introductions. christopher had an office about two or three blocks from here and he went over there and novack was there with ken and he introduced them. he lived in an enclave, with a big extended family and money to invest. truckloads of money. he d already loaned novack 1.85 million to make a movie about his prison consulting business. and soon ken and chris began working on a real estate name.
the voice mail that police believed help lure ken to his death. hey, ken, this is robert. to me, that was chris voice on that phone. the detectives pulled out a search warrant. bianca was home when the police arrived. it s surreal. they re like roving gangs of toddlers who are ripping everything apart. they took apart the sofa and took out the lining. they took apart my toaster. they take everything apart. a ballistics report told police the murder weapon was a 9 millimeter handgun. chris was an avid collector of guns and among them police found an empty case for a springfield handgun and what do you know, the gun that went with it was missing. chris wright was arrested and charged with the murder of ken dolezsar. it was a matter of disbelief. he was being taken out of the blue and for no reason. the loving husband who cried his way through romantic movies a cold-blooded assassin? impossible.
