When homicide detectives John Carroll and Jerry Burns took over the investigation later that morning, things didn't exactly improve.
After aggressively interviewing the neighbors in the building, the detectives turned their attention to Marianne, who was treated more as a suspect than a victim.
Marianne said it was good cop, bad cop, but the bad one, Burns, did most of the talking.
For hours, they peppered her with questions that, in retrospect, didn't seem all that relevant to what happened.
They wanted to know how long she'd known Kitty, who their friends were, how often they argued, and most importantly, inappropriately, did Marianne have any sexual problems?
Oh, because they were saying, are you a lesbian?
Because that was considered a sexual problem.
It took me a while to realize what he was getting at.
They thought I might be the one who killed her.
She didn't even know that's what they were getting at.
