murdered. i m sorry to see her dead, but um, we never had a very good relationship. that s a very unusual way to answer that, right? about your wife. yeah. you didn t want to see her dead. a tacit admission in that you f were the one person who could actually say that you last saw her dead. then there was bradford s strange story about spending two nights at the pier, in his car. he even had a parking stub to prove it. when you talked to his family, and you brought up hey, is your dad is he that kind of, you know beach, meditation, put on my sandals and relate to the ocean kind of guy? um, no. except he was very upset. maybe you doubt him, but it s a reasonable thing for a person to say. to sleep in their car for two days? lewin and wallace were both convinced there was another reason bradford stayed at the pier. it just happened to be where joan s attorney had an office. the very same attorney who helped her garnish that forty thousand dollars from her ex-husband
left it? i haven t the slightest idea where it went. did it strike you odd that this fellow is so well organized would misplace a gun? oh, yes, it struck me odd. i knew right away he didn t misplace it. no doubt in my mind because of the type of fellow he was. but bradford did have an alibi. a parking stub. sure enough, he entered the pier parking lot the friday of the murder, 7:29. so he said he could not have killed joan, unless the detectives put together a timeline. joan answered a phone call at 7:00 p.m., but by 7:15, when shaun arrived, she was dead. we figure that s the timeline, 7:00, 7:15, right in that time. it s a pretty narrow window. right. could bill have shot joan then arrived at 7:29 at the pier? they made the drive themselves. it took just seven to eight minutes. it all fit.
