Dr. Timothy Stryker

But that's not what Tim Stryker says.

Well, was she going to go on that trip?

Yes.

She never said that she wasn't going.

Lynn's dream, her plans, and premonitions were about to become more important than anyone could have imagined.

No one should have been surprised when Dr. Lynn Gowdy and Dr. Tim Stryker became an item.

They were both successful physicians, active, adventurous, and with a lot in common.

But after four years together, they were starting to drift apart.

I guess towards the end of the relationship, you know, there may have been some stagnation because she was getting a little burned out from how hard she was working.

But Lynn's friend, Lisa Zolot, says it wasn't just Lynn's work that was burning her out.

It was also Stryker, who Lisa says was controlling and self-centered.

Stryker says Lynn's friends and family have been making up things about him ever since she died.

Are you a flexible man?

I have to be flexible to be available when a patient has chest pain or to be available when somebody's traumatized.

What about in your personal life?

Again, I have to be flexible with my kids, with my wife.

And, you know, so it's, again, this is a story they tried to tell.

Whatever the cause, Lynn's friends believe she was getting ready to break up, even as she and Stryker were getting ready to go on that Caribbean vacation.

Less than two weeks before that planned scuba vacation, the one Lynn Gowdy had a premonition about, witnesses say they heard Stryker and Lynn arguing about whether to go on the trip.

Colleagues remember Lynn Gowdy was not herself later that evening.
