cindy he figured it was just the latest in a long line. i said you are not in love with any of these women, you are in love with the idea of being in, love and you like the feeling that you get when you are dating, when you are courting, everything like, that it is the chase but maybe something was different from the other women could she have something to do with vicky s death? investigators wanted the same thing in fact, the question sydney, and found out she had threatened not had all the makings of a possible motive what s more, bobby had more than $1 million in life insurance on vicky, so in light of that and the rest of the evidence, a circumstantial as it was, six months after vicky died, a grand jury indicted the theory, bobby had killed vicky so he wouldn t lose cindy,
