Dr. Timothy Stryker

Lynn's tote bag witnesses saw her carrying when she left the hospital wasn't in the car.

Neither was the jacket she was last seen wearing or her briefcase, which some said she never left behind.

Police couldn't find anything until they visited Dr. Stryker.

I cooperated with him by giving him the briefcase that was in my house.

He not only had the briefcase, he had the tote bag, and he had a jacket that he says was his, but was the same color and style as the one witnesses saw Lynn wearing.

I gave them that jacket to facilitate them looking for her jacket, so they knew what they were supposed to be looking for.

I was trying to help them.

And they looked at it for bloodstains and all that kind of stuff.

And obviously, that wasn't there.

Striker was helping the police, just as he said he was.

But he was helping them confirm their suspicions of him.

And he didn't help himself any when just one week after the murder, he went on that Caribbean vacation alone.

He was down there on the day of Lynn's memorial service.

It actually became an opportunity

to actually have some time away and for me to sit in a quiet space and start to deal with the emotion that I had to kind of shut down right after her death.

In retrospect, I wish I hadn't gone, even though at the time it was therapeutic for me to do that.

Striker's sister, Jean, agreed it was a bad idea.

Why did you think it wasn't a good idea?

of it.

It didn't look good.
