according to friends, anna was trying to break away from charlie at the time of her disappearance. she was finally getting her life together, they said. she had just started a new job as a customer service representative and was looking for a new apartment. from my estimation, she was really trying to break up with him, but he kept luring her back. anna met charlie at grant city cars in 1994, where she worked as a driver and he as a mechanic. he told anna he had a son but said he was estranged from his wife. he was different from her bohemian boyfriends. she saw stability in him because from the outside he was a regular guy and seemed stable. this was san francisco. anna capalutti was anna s cousin and next door neighbor. the relationship was weird. anna had to call him and tell him her every move. she said they fought over
his reaction to her pregnancy, he wanted an abortion, really made kristine fearful that he might do something to her. he proceeded to, you know, cry and beg and plead with her not to have the baby, that it would ruin his life. in july, rudy told kristine he was going to turkey on a business trip. kristine would later find out he was actually on his honeymoon. upon his return, rudy confessed he had gotten married. kristine was in shock but determined to keep the baby. she said, okay. i m going to have the baby, and you don t have to do anything to do with us. she said, i m not asking you to, you know, be its dad. i just want to have the baby. i ll be a single mother. kathy says there was, however, one thing kristine did want from rudy. she had read in a baby book for single mothers that she should get a legal document signed by the father stating that he would
after anna s disappearance. there isn t a scintilla of evidence that a crime has been committed or that he committed such a crime. we did speak to a prominent defense attorney, joe hurley, about why rudy and charlie may be keeping quiet. hurley represented thomas capano when he was tried for murder following his girlfriend s disappearance. hurley s first rule, never talk to police. it s the same thing as deers out in the forest and one of the deers leaves the group and comes back in and says hey, guys, it s hunting season. let s go stand out in the opening. you don t do that. you re a target. you have a target right on your head and a target right on your chest, and it s hunting season and the police are out to get you. hurley contends even innocent people will make mistakes when talking to police. they re trying to trick you and trap you. no matter how innocent you are, you re a human being, you re frail and you can make mistakes. all it takes is one trip over the wrong log.
he had been told which street rudy lived on in brooklyn. finally, as we walked down here, we looked on the ground, and there was rudy s name. that was his house. they were shocked to learn he had not been disowned by his family as he claimed. in fact, rudy was living with his parents in their home with his wife. rudy comes out of the car, he has his hands in his pocket. he s very nervous. he s always looking at the ground. so obviously the first thing that came out of my mouth, i go, where s kristine? i also told him, i know you killed kristine. where is she? rudy told nick he had taken kristine to a mall, then dropped her off at a health food store several blocks from her house. but it was what rudy didn t say that nick found suspicious. he never once said i didn t kill kristine. i don t know what you re talking about.
who lived there? in the beginning we were doing a ton of work in the beginning every day. gil was always there and then it slowed down. we laid a really good foundation. i got everything clear. they had to learn everything they could about their prime suspect, rudy persaud. they had to start thinking how he was thinking. rudy had dated kristine briefly. she had gotten pregnant. he s desperate. his wife knows. she could be pushing him to do something done quick. who will you ask? rudy is very controlling. he had to know exactly what happens. they systematically met people close to him. we found out a lot. just about his family. who he would trust. who was around. in building their case they would have to disprove rudy s version of events the day kristine disappeared. he told police he took kristine to queens mall and dropped her off at a health food store near her house. he claims that was the last he
