Wait a minute. The Whitcomb guy is at or near the Moore house at 11 a.m. and at 3 p.m.? Why? Who is this guy? I called John Philpin, who I know consulted on the Moore case the day it happened. And then John called, guess who? Vermont State Police Detective Michael Clare. You might remember him from being lead detective on Heidi Martin's case. He was also lead on the Moore case.

Mike said the guy from Whitcomb was a man named Larry Alley. Mike said he found Alley's business card on the Moore's kitchen counter in the middle of the crime scene, spattered with blood. Mike and another detective went to visit Allie at his home, the evening of the murder. Allie apparently told Mike LeClair that the Moores had hired Whitcomb to pave their driveway.

Steve was unhappy with the job and called Whitcomb to have them send out some kind of foreman to assess the situation. Larry Allie was that guy, an experienced paver who had worked for Whitcomb for over a decade. In fact, Wickham sent Larry Alley all over Vermont and New Hampshire to do customer bids or manage paving crews. Alley said he stopped by the Moore house between 12 and 1 p.m.

to talk with Steve. He said he knocked on the door and a woman answered. She said her husband wasn't home and then he handed her her business card. He said he did not go inside. Michael Clare noted that Alley seemed pretty straightforward, not nervous at all. The detectives left.

With Ali's statement to the police, this man is now at the Moore house on three separate occasions the day of the murder. Linda herself mentions the guy from Wickham on the phone to Steve around 11 a.m. Then Ali himself says he's there between 12 and 1 p.m. And then Steve says he passes the guy from Wickham on the road near his house around 3 p.m. Yeah, that's suspicious as hell.

I compared Ali's statement with the timeline I developed for Linda Moore. Steve spoke to Linda on the phone at 12.40 p.m. Remember, she was annoyed because she had to leave her lawn chair and answer the phone for no reason. It seems most likely that after hanging out with her husband, Linda went back outside to sunbathe.

When Steve got home at 3 p.m., remember he said that the chair and the radio and Linda's sandals were all out in the yard? She was a really tidy person, and she would not have left these things out. It looked like she'd been interrupted. And then at 1 p.m., there was that mysterious missed phone call from the Morehouse to the job site in Cambridge Port where Steve was working.

When Steve called back a moment later, there was a busy signal from the police investigation that pulled the phone records. We know that right after calling the job site at 1 p.m., Linda called a local lumber mill. She spoke with someone at the mill and asked if her husband Steve was there. Why would Linda be calling around to find Steve?

Perhaps because Larry Alley was there and Linda wanted Steve to speak with him about the driveway. Then Steve remembered this in 1990. That, oh yeah, he did have an arrangement with the Whitcomb guy to come around 3 p.m. And if he wasn't there, he told the Whitcomb guy to ask his wife to call him at the job site.

It is entirely possible that Linda made these phone calls exactly according to the plan. Allie was there, and she needed to reach Steve. Then Steve called Linda again around 2.50 p.m. There was no answer. Linda was lying dead in her kitchen. The medical examiner on Linda's case speculates that her time of death is probably closer to 1 p.m. than 3 p.m.,
