This time, Cicero PD had arrested Linda for credit card fraud and forged checks. The agency had reached out to Vilas County because when they collected Linda's belongings, they found a suspicious letter that she had written to a friend of hers named Bernard Soriano, or Bernie.

It seemed like Linda had written to Bernie as some sort of extortion attempt, a threat to tell police that Bernie had killed someone if he didn't send her the money she asked for. A Vilas County detective drove down to Cicero the very next day to ask Linda some more questions about this Bernie guy. Now, Linda told them she had met Bernie while gambling at a racetrack in 1990.

This is four years after George's murder. She also said that Bernie owed her $112,000 from loans that she'd given him. So then what did she mean by writing that Bernie had something to do with killing someone? That's what they asked her.

At the time, detectives did track Bernie down, but it didn't go very far. Partly because he didn't match the police composite sketch from 1986, and partly because Linda claimed they met after George's murder, and they took her word for it. A woman who had just been arrested for fraud under a fake name. Bernie passed away in 2022, so unfortunately, there is no asking him about it now either.

While Cicero police had Linda in custody, they also questioned her about another man that she had lent money to, named Ronald Ghiotto. According to Linda, she had met Ronald at a Halloween party in 1987, the year after George's murder. And for some reason, she lent this guy over $200,000.

When asked straight on about George's murder, Linda adamantly denied having anything to do with it. But when officers asked whether Ronald might have a different answer to that question... Her answer was, quote-unquote, I'm not saying he would or he wouldn't.
