some secret mission. so, i just thought, she s off somewhere weird for whatever reason. i kind of played with the idea of witness protection. the post got suggested that john and linda were gone voluntarily, no foul play. but then, john s mother suddenly changed her tune. in july of 1985, didi calls the police. and now, she s distraught. this truck because her guesthouse tenant had moved out without a word. and as she now explained, he was the one telling her secrets behind closed doors. it turned out it was christopher chichester, for the very same man who greeted police in the news, and has nothing to say but training her information all along with the couples overseas mission. that tenant who disappeared might have been involved and whatever happened to her son? she doesn t know. she is just concerned that the only person she was contacting them through with missing now too. she was concerned because she had no way to contact her son. biggest houston a source
like john, she loved science fiction and fantasy. linda s seem to complement each other as opposites often do. he was shy. she was outgoing. he was short, she was at six feet, towered over him. like, this was the august coupling i have ever seen in my life. a quirky couple, laughing to choosing halloween as their wedding day in 1983. with money type, they started their life together living in the house on the rain road. she remembers linda complaining about child s mom, or liked her cocktails early and often on many days. his mom is a drunk, a smoker, and i really don t like to be around her and the smoke. she s a poor old lady. but she s, i just try to avoid are like crazy. but linda and john could not avoid her because the guest house on the property where they might have set up house had a tenant. with a winter and no hurry to leave, and a newlywed stuck in the main house, john and linda
the truck of john and linda sohus. after the call, he was markedly different. how is he markedly different? the further in us, the cutting off of all social ties. the defendant told my nabi it was not a detective called, but someone out to get him and his family. you said he suggested a merry, and go into hiding. he grew a beard, and a mustache. what else? and he started to wear contacts. i helped color his hair. and while he was still living with her, he picked a new phony name out of thin air. and it was a beauty. at first, it was just east at a table in a packed restaurant. and i said, who can make the reservation for? and he says clark rockefeller. she dumped him, but he never dumped the rockefeller name. it would help women s biggest catch ever, his gold plated wife, sandra vos, and keep us secret safe for years. who did he introduce himself
paradise, the couple s friend, sue kaufman, linda, desperate to move out of her mother in law s house? you knew that linda was frustrated about the living situation, those are words that you have used, correct? yes, she was frustrated. she shared that frustration with you, didn t she? yes, she did. kaufman seethed, side, appalled i what was being suggested. i was like dude, you are so far off base, i can t even answer your questions with anger. so i will just answer your questions. but it was not just a motive, the defense said. wasn t it also clear linda had survived whatever had happened to john, since she was the one, handwriting experts have said, sent postcards to friends weeks later from paris? linda sohus is the writer of the two postcards that you examined? yes. that supports the theory that linda was alive after the death of john sohus. as for the testimony of sandra boss, hails that seemed
we know that he was attending an english class at the university of southern california. he was not in london? he was not in london. that explains away the postcards. the evidence was in. although much of it was damning, it was almost all circumstantial. the defendant, his lawyers say, was confident on verdict day. if you went to the courtroom, he went and feeling upbeat, hopeful and optimistic. it was a miscalculation to say the least. the jurors only took a few hours to decide. we, the jury find the defendant christian karl gerhartsreiter guilty of the crime of murder in the first degree. a guilty verdict reached quickly, jurors said, and with little debate. for soup of men, it meant most if not all of the answers about what happened to her last friend, john and linda. in my heart, i know he is responsible for whatever happened to make those two gone. are you convinced that linda s death as well? yes.
