maybe eager to get tom out of the way. remember the anonymous texts to tom, the one telling him about gil and linda s affair. she said they came from gil and when she found out she confronted him. i just screamed at him. very devious. very. according to linda, gil cried, said he only did it because tom should know the truth. said he begged for forgiveness and threatened to harm himself. tom felt bad he felt suicidal. tom was that kind of guy. i know this is a really crazy situation we re in, but i m not going to let him kill himself over it. we ll work this out somehow, you know. linda said she was still worried that gil was suicidal and that s why she decided to postpone telling him the affair was over until after the holidays. she seemed sincere but investigators had to wonder if
at that point, i was banging my head against the wall. linda was also growing frustrated. she was now a widow, a single mom, shunned by her husband s family and eagerly waiting for a break in the case. a lot of time passed without an arrest. torturous. every day are you wondering, is today the day or is it never going to happen ? you would kind of get through a point where you d say, okay, we re going to live our lives and when it happens, it happens, you know? and then they d need something from me. and i d get pulled back in again. one of those times police met with linda to explain there was a problem with the original autopsy. turns out it was incomplete because back then, no one suspected poisoning. many samples like the contents of tom s stomach that might have proved midazolam as the actual cause of death weren t saved for testing. so the da s office decided to do something radical. he said, we need to exhume tom s body tomorrow. i just started sobbing. and
that is in my office or anything like that. i have nothing to do with whatever was in tom s system. i had nothing to do with any of that. did you give him a polygraph, as well? we offered. did he take it? no. the next day after that interview, we were contacted by a lawyer stating that there d be no further contact with his client. meanwhile, linda was reeling from all that police had told her. from the images of the white suv in the video, to the drug in her husband s system that a dentist like gil would have access to. like investigators, she now believed her lover had killed her husband. i didn t ever want to speak to him again. but saugerties is a small place, and within days linda says she found gil waiting for her outside a chinese restaurant. he s sittin in the parkin lot and gets out of his car and starts screamin at me and we d get in a huge fight. and he s, like, they re tryin to pin this on me and they say you were involved.
