Dr. Timothy Stryker

In plain English, I mean, was he violent to her?

I don't want to characterize Timothy Stryker.

Stryker says he and Lynn had the kind of problems many couples have.

And there was a time where she got very angry in my kitchen because I called her a pea brain.

And she had a temper tantrum.

There was a cup of peas and a cup of potatoes and a cup of corn.

And here she was just throwing these at the walls at my paintings.

I grabbed her to pull her away from picking up the next thing to hurtle at the wall.

And that's when she fell down and hit the floor.

And she bruised her ribs that time.

Lynn never filed a complaint, and Stryker says she was the aggressor, that he was just protecting his property.

I was never in any way verbally, physically abusive to her.

And I would like for people to talk to my wife or talk to the girlfriend that I had from 15 years ago before I started going out with Lynn, that, you know, that has never been me.

Stryker's wife, Mikhail, was eager to talk.

Have you ever been afraid of your husband?

Have you ever seen a temper?

Never hit you?

But it took a lot of anger for somebody to do what was done to Lynn Gowdy, strangling her and stuffing her body in the backseat of her car.

Nothing police found here at the crime scene pointed directly to Tim Stryker.

It was more what they didn't find.
