Linda and George had been married for over two decades at the time of his murder. And in that time, George's sister Lenore had become close to Linda. But she learned it was hard to trust her.

It took me a lot longer to learn to not trust her. George wasn't a perfect angel either. And together, marriage was hard. Things were complicated by the fact that Linda didn't want to move away from the Cicero area right away. The long-distance marriage was taking its toll.

Linda said that she left for Cicero with her sons at around 10.30 p.m. on August 2nd. And after driving for about a half hour, she stopped at a Holiday Inn to call the Arbor from the hotel's phone.

Linda said she got back on the road and continued on to Cicero without stopping again, making it home at about 5.30 a.m. Investigators found that there actually were records showing that Linda had placed a call from a payphone two hours away from Eagle River just 30 minutes before the shooting. But to them, that alibi seemed almost too convenient.
