nudged my friend and settlement ago ask him to dance. and i m gonna be like. her name was more rosemary, and she ran a successful karaoke business in town. and she is quite an entertainer i guess? yes. she says if you want to be successful in this business, you have to sell it. they fell for each other hard and fast. their shared love of music. the outdoors. and, little jordan. he loves jordan. very much. i knew when i met him he definitely had, you know, parenting time with her. and it would go back and forth between linda and dave. rosemary also had a daughter from another relationship. and in june of 2000, she and dave took the big step of blending their families. had my daughters by my side, he had his two good buddies and we took our vows and celebrated with everyone around us. linda also seemed to find happiness in a new
skull here. this is a high traffic area for undocumented border crossers. unfortunately, many in the summertime, in the hot summers of arizona, do not make it and perish in this area. the medical examiners office in tucson runs a unique program to identify such remains. but it takes time. so, a small portion of the cranium was removed for dna testing at a later date. much later. eight years later in february of 2011, we finally get a dna match back from that skull that was found in 2003. it had the same match for linda watson. suddenly, the skull was a big priority. there is no sign of trauma, no evidence of how she died. still, 11 years after linda watson disappeared, at last, here was proof she was no longer alive. that s when you have a case. that s when i have a case. indeed he did have a case. three of them, in fact. detective anderson took over as
jr. well linda s ex boyfriend who marilyn had accused of murdering linda. where were you on the 7th of may, 2003, before the hours of approximately six 6:00 and 9:00? i was at home. jr told investigators that he spent the evening with his fiancée and his kids. and for some reason, he felt the need to tell marilyn family to. i got a call the next morning from jay are telling me that he had an alabama. kind of a strange thing? i never cared for the man. i just said, why do you need an alibi jr? well i just wanted you to. now i said okay bye, i just hang up. the don had risen on the longest day of their lives. marilyn, the matriarch of the family. the one who fiercely fought to keep linda s case alive was gone. for a family friend, mark, now the heartbreak was twofold. i didn t realize until then that i had never truly let go of the idea of linda coming back until they were killed. and that s when i, realize she is gone. she is dead.
in this area. and someone had cleaned it up. so now you have a theory of foul play to explain the disappearance? now we have a theory of foul play. where investigators looking at jr as a potential suspect? he was looked at as a person of interest. mostly because marilyn said, this guy could ve done it. but jr also had a defender. linda s ex-husband, dave. could you personally feel, if jr would be somebody that could do something your being accused? no. i strongly believe he, he didn t do a thing. he is the only one that s tried to help her. and marilyn s the one pointing the fingers at him. of course, investigators had to wonder. after all, jr had backed dave in the custody dispute with linda. could dave be covering for him now? for that matter, where was dave the night linda disappeared? from what time to what time were you home? sunday i was here all day long.
crazy people? maybe under the wrong track after some crazy drinking? that was the assumption at the time. investigations continued to poke around anyway. they wanted to talk to the boyfriend, jr. marilyn brought him up when she reported him missing. linda live near? they re no. silver bell road, a two plane back top that is from tucson all the way to the basque desert. a tip went to jr s home. he cooperated in every way that was asked of him. jr told the same story that others dead. that linda was a heavy drinker. we had a seriously rocky relationship for over two years. all about all of our problems, revolved right to her alcoholism. the drinking was why, jr said, he recently broke up with her. she wigs out bad. and things are right now rougher than i ve ever seen for her. she just lost her job. he said too much alcohol cost linda her job.
