against the phone records they had acquired back when mr. clark disappeared and mr. suckow s number was in those records. meaning suckow was in the area when casey clark disappeared. sarah, meanwhile, her marriage falling apart, had begun to harbor suspicions about james, and not just his cheating ways. it went back to the day james told her about doug carlisle s death. he walked into the room, doug s dead, straight face, nothing. it was the strangest thing ever. did you think at the time i wonder if james had something to do with this? you know, it seemed fishy to me. it did, but again, your life is already crumbling, you don t want to think your husband could be doing anything like that. what did you get out of that marriage? i was scared of him, you know. everyone wants the fairy tale,
i mean, emotionally to deal with. oh, absolutely. it s ruined my life. coming up, sarah becomes suspicious about her husband. did you think at the time i wonder if james had something to do with this? it seemed fishy to me. then she get a call from the sheriff. he said you need to come to my office right this second. when dateline continues. when dateline continues when dateline continues it s a buick. we need snacks for the team. alexa, take us to the nearest grocery store. getting directions. alexa will get us there in no time. it s a buick. let s be real. don t make me turn this alexa around. oh my. it s painful. the buick enclave, with available alexa built in. ask “alexa, tell me more about buick suvs.” (dana)it s very difficult for the family because you too go through everything that they go through. maybe not in the same way. but you re still there.

now back to dateline. sometimes the best detective is named luck. a dropped welding glove leads to a tattooed hitman named timothy suckow. whose phone provides a direct connection to the man who may have ordered murder of doug carlisle, james henrikson in south dakota. he may have been able to rule out business partners in washington state. at this point did you feel you had the outlines of what the conspiracy was. i felt we had a good idea of what was going on. it turned out to be a lot more. a sentiment which when the investigation turned back to north dakota, sarah, aka, mrs. james henrikson, could have put in exactly the same words but for more personal reasons. best i remember there was rumors of james having an affair.
clarke headed up and disappeared. i handed it to mark, what do you think about this. what did you think about that? it s the first time we had ever heard of that name. so who was k.c. clarke. he was funny, well mannered. it didn t take long to find out, k.c. was an old friend. he moved to the oil pattern specifically where for hendrickson and blackstone. the trucking company. rick kerry knew him all. rick airy knew him well. what did you do, the two of you. we would go up to the bar, we d chase the girls, do the normal things a guy would do during a boom, you know. rick and k.c. were field truck intendents for the trucking company which sarah was helping to run. how were you involved in the business? i worked directly with the
it s an old story, of course. husband cheats on wife with a younger woman. even younger than sarah, who was only in her 20s. what was it like to hear that he was cheating on you in the first place? it was hurtful, but it was so off the wall, i just didn t believe it. like generations of wives before her, until the truth was impossible to avoid. what was that like to hear? horrific, and especially when i found out with who, i just thought absolutely not. no way. wouldn t believe it. wouldn t believe it. i mean, she was like my little sister. this is her, the young woman in the unpleasant little triangle. but she wasn t just some other woman. this is payton martin, daughter of tex hall, the chief of the mha nation on who the travel land was the oil lease, the one james wanted so badly. payton was 19.
