i would but i m sorry i apologize i can t. but then carefully uncle john reels him in. you seem to think that somebody didn t reach out to him he told me not so much you but he told me to have you tell fred that if he didn t get some help pretty soon, he was going to go to the cops. okay. give me a call tomorrow and i ll see what i can do to help you. but after all that frank did not make the incriminating call to fred asking for money. so the very next day uncle john tried again. hey, did you get a hold of fred? no, between you and i i don t mind taking care of him. frank asked the time and agreed to meet uncle john in person to hand over some money. thousand oaks mall. it s on lynn road.
so many possibilities. he d just recently married a wonderful woman, a schoolteacher who had no idea what her husband had done or what he was facing. but it was too late for that. frank did not go home to his wife that evening. he submitted to a pair of handcuffs and was carted off to jail. and fred did go hominid the watchful eye of the undercover cops whoologist conducted a thorough search of the restaurant for those notes fred wrote. they found nothing. nor did fred contact anyone else that evening. and so the next morning. we just showed up at 9:00 in the morning and he had on his pajamas and you could tell he hadn t slept a lot that night. very shocked and very upset while we were there.
reporter: he agreed. they met at a park and ride parking lot, and he drove nick s car. the driver also said nick told him why he needed to go to long beach. nick harvey said he was an enforcer for the local drug dealers up there. so he thought he was coming down here just for that one reason. reporter: honestly, he had no idea the agenda included murder, said the driver. he never knew that he was going to come down to take someone s life. reporter: of course, the guy was probably lying. so they put him under arrest. anyway, his claim that he thought he was driving a drug enforcer didn t make a lick of sense. the notion that suburban housewife lynn schockner was somehow tangled up with drug dealers and had been targeted for execution was frankly preposterous. lynn had been living a quiet life for 25 years, married to a man with a lot going for him. he was a wealthy man. reporter: for years, fred earned top dollar in the aerospace industry.
questions and let me give you some information. okay. the check that i wrote to frank was cashed on october 29th. that was $5,000. that was for the bmw. that was the bmw. and look at this. on the check there s a note that indicates the bmw would be delivered between 11/7 and 8. lynn was murdered on the 8th of november. i called them today and asked them about the status on the voice mail. does this sound like fred is having fun toying with the cops? any other questions you have for us at this time? happy fishing. why is it going so long that s a good question because the fishing isn t answering, right? well, like i said i toll you from the beginning it s a pretty
enrolled in gymnastics. so it was very much a supportive environment. and lynn doted on her only son. it might be trite to say this, but she loved him more than life itself. he was the center of her universe. so after what happened mark flew out to california right away to comfort charlie and fred and to make funeral arrangements for his only sister, lynn. and at the very same time, as if in another world altogether, a world devoted to the minutia of violent crime, detective richard birdsol poked around the entrails of this burglary gone bad. he could perhaps write up a report, be done with it, make the growing bad press go away. but no, richard birdsall was a troubled man. we know something s wrong. my partner and i just feel something s wrong. but we don t know yet. wrong? well, of course it was.
