The gun she picked up was the highest one on the rack, she couldn’t reach it without moving furniture. And the police reported there was no evidence of anybody moving furniture.

She really warmed up to me in between the second and third time I was there, when I decided to write the book, she was Chatty Cathy and so charming. And then, she started to figure out that I wasn’t going to be her biographer. It wasn’t a book about her and how wonderful she was. And by the fourth time, she just wasn’t nice to me at all.

You know, I never thought that I cared about court justice, i just wanted the truth to come up. I couldn’t find any evidence of my uncle being abusive. He and Suzanne certainly argued a lot… But I just needed to know the truth. And I felt that was justice. My uncle was a decent man, but he had an Achilles' heel. He lost his life and he’s not here to defend himself.

My uncle was a very ambitious, hardworking man who came from a scrappy background, he worked his way up topolice chief, to one of the top investigators in the state of Wisconsin. He was married to his childhood sweetheart, a June Cleaver or Tami from ‘Friday Night Lights.’.

I’ve shared the medical records withtwo psychiatrists and three psych nurses, they all said there’s no proof at all that she was psychotic. She never showed any symptoms of it and nobody ever suspected of it. And if you look at her version of what happened that night, they were arguing, he was abusive and she went into a psychotic state and pulled the trigger. The problem is that they were upstairs and his guns were downstairs. He had a number of weapons because he was a former police officer.
