Until that point, investigators actually hadn't heard anything about an annulment.

And actually, if Emma hadn't brought it up on accident, there was a good chance it actually would have gone unnoticed for probably forever, to be honest.

Probably.

But now that it was out, there was no going back and Emma knew it.

So Emma explained to the detectives that she only went with Elizabeth and Ralph to see the lawyer and go to the courthouse.

She was there for some of it.

But she insisted that she played no role in the scheme.

She was simply there.

I simply let it happen.

Yeah, exactly.

I just didn't do anything to stop it.

I didn't say anything to anyone.

I didn't tell anybody.

Yeah.

So she knew all the details.

And in early December, she ended up telling the police everything she knew about Elizabeth and Ralph posing as Olga and Frank.

Soon, the conversation shifted toward the Esquivells who owned the Tropical Cafe and the people who Elizabeth claimed was blackmailing her.

The topic seemed to make Emma uncomfortable when it was brought up, not because she was just simply afraid of the blackmailers, but it seemed like she was afraid of Elizabeth, actually.

Yeah, probably.

So now convinced that there was a lot more going on with this whole thing than anybody was willing to tell him, Detective Henderson suggested that they continue their conversation at the police station.
