between kevin and sabrina? absolutely not. now. no. that is not my brother. sabrina, they said, turned on kevin and blamed him for everything. hoping for a plea deal. so, what is going on here? sabrina lied to save her own skin? absolutely. absolutely. not according to detective. you re convinced there was a plan between her and kevin? yes. and that there was an affair, despite the lack of hard evidence. she had no proof. there s no love letters. no. there is no photographs. there s no videotape. no. how do you know it happened? took sabrina on her word. every time we interviewed sabrina, she always told us the same story. it rang true. it absolutely range from. he said that he was suspicious of kevin even before sabrina came forward. several weeks before the murder, he asked kevin to come to the station for an interview.
baffling. i still can t see the sabrina that i know being violent towards anyone, let alone what she did. something else had to have been at play here. detective ron was thinking the same way. he wanted to talk to kevin about what that something else might be. but he held off. i was given he needed time to deal with the tragic death of his wife. according to his sister chris and, kevin was an emotional wreck when he heard what happen. i am sure there was some guilt, because he worked nights, and he was not home. he never thought this would happen. did you think he had anything to do with this? no. and you could definitively prove that he wasn t at the house at the time? absolutely. he was on the ohio michigan border at the time. still, he felt kevin might hold the key to solving the riddle of this case.
