And this wasn't the first time Amy and Kenneth were linked.

The year before, Amy had hired Kenneth to run the radio station and record her sermons.

They worked closely together and had a remarkably good rapport.

Amy insisted that they were just colleagues, but to many, like Kenneth's wife, their friendship seemed dangerously inappropriate, especially when they accidentally broadcasted their private conversations over the church intercom.

Rumors flew around the church and Kenneth found another job.

Note to self, always see if the mic is on.

After this shocking testimony, ADA Joe Ryan went up to Carmel-by-the-Sea to investigate and found even more witnesses who'd seen Amy and Kenneth entering town in disguises, including sunglasses and a bucket hat.

and they'd left behind damning evidence, a handwritten grocery list, which Ryan compared to a sample of Amy's writing.

To him, it looked like a perfect match.

Thrilled with the find, Ryan wired his boss, District Attorney Kyes, and said he had proof Amy ran away with the sound engineer.

Within 24 hours, papers across the country blazed with the news.

The LA Examiner, owned by media mogul William Randolph Hearst, shouted the headline, New Sensation in Amy Inquiry.

Amy and Minnie were united in their response.

Amy was not now, nor had she ever been, involved with Kenneth Ormiston.

This could have been verified by Ormiston himself, but unfortunately for Amy, he was in the wind.

Apparently, he'd been spotted all over the country, but no one could pin him down.

But it didn't take long for another surprise witness to come forward.

On July 31st, a woman in her 30s who greatly resembled Amy presented herself at the Angelus Temple.

If you're watching the video, you'll see them side by side on screen.

If you're not, they, yeah, they look alike.
