i receive a letter from a collection. what did it say? i love you. don t forget me or don t forget the mountain. so he search to be real with me. he was i think real with me. it s noteworthy that shortly after weinberger s capture in italy, his italian girlfriend began corresponding with his american ex via facebook. i was picturing a thin blonde girl who was maybe about 20, 25. i was 25 when i met him. that s what i had picture. monica is about the opposite of you. yes. we shared one thing in common. he lied to her and he lied to me. and i did everything i could to get him turned in, and she actually is the person that turned him in. so we had a lot in common. it took a few years, but michelle kramer has moved on in her life.
the night before he vanished, mark had seemed so happy, posing for a dinner time picture with michelle and a friend. now he was gone. by midafternoon michelle was a frantic ball of nerves, clearly mark was not out jogging, as the yacht s captain had told her earlier that morning. so she demanded answers. the captain finally said, well, i m just going to tell you where he is now because you re on the brink of having a nervous breakdown. soy want you to know that he bought some kind of a present in town and he took a jet to paris to finish the present and he s going to come back by the end of the day, before the sun goes down. that story didn t surprise michelle. for the past few days, mark had been acting like a man who was planning something big. he was always running and doing something and i was kind of, like, this is our vacation. this is our time to spend together. i would rather not have some big fabulous present and just have you lay with me by the pool and not be sneakin
his own throat. he pulls a knife out that he has concealed and attempts to kill himself. though weinberger managed to inflict a superficial cut on his neck, police officers were able to stop him before he did serious damage. some say he was trying to attempt suicide so he would get placed in a prison hospital. i don t think he was thinking that far ahead. i think he was trying to kill himself. days later, while recovering in a hospital, he tried again, this time by putting a plastic bag over his head. he did not want to go back. there was too much, a trail of devastation. within a week, news of mark weinberger s arrest was everywhere. in merrillville, indiana, former patients woke to find their nose doctor on the front page. in alabama, michelle kramer, the wife he had abandoned, was just wrapping up another long day as
it really was, yeah. like it was just so romantic when i first met him, it was awesome. and then things just got, like, exponentially more outrageous as time went on. outrageously good. yeah. for instance, instead of simply popping the question to michelle, mark flew her to rome. he had a driver bring her to meet him. mark dropped to one knee and presented her with an enormous ring while a group of minstrels he had hired serenaded them. i was crying and everybody in the piazza was clapping. it was a beautiful moment. their wedding in 2001 was actually a three-act extravaganza. first a small wedding in chicago s botanic garden held solely for the purpose of allowing michelle s father, who was dying of cancer, to walk her down the aisle.
against. a few weeks later, it was michelle who was devastated and needed support when she suffered a miscarriage and had to be hospitalized. and he promised, he swore that he would be there before i went under anesthesia. and he insisted that he had to go into his office to take care of some things, and he didn t show up. and i was shocked. whatever mark weinberger was doing in the office those days was also a mystery to employees like suzette dennington, weinberger s top medical assistant at the sinus clinic. he started to be one of the first people in the office and last people to leave every day. what was he doing in his office? i don t know. the door was closed. it was very quiet. we would have to knock on the door and let him know that there was another patient ready to be seen. he definitely withdrew. suzette says that wasn t the only strange thing going on that summer.
