His wife is dead.

Why would he need a defense lawyer?

Well, the interview that day with the police, which he gave voluntarily, the questions took a turn.

He was bright enough to know that he had gone from victim to a suspect.

Nick and his attorney decided that they weren't going to give any more statements to St.

Paul police.

It kind of seemed like Nick was being a little bit of an obstacle.

That's a good idea, but I knew they'd use that as a lever to try interrogating more.

So I said, no, we won't do that, but we'll hire an artist and do it.

They were going to come down to our headquarters because we still needed to get a sample of Nick's DNA.

And then when Nick showed up, that's when we were given the sketch of this alleged intruder.

It was a picture of a African-American male, perhaps late 30s, 40s, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a very, very round face and a larger nose.

They'd never had that experience where a defendant hired his own sketch artist.

And they were stuck without any context of how the sketch was made.

An intruder was our best possible theory.

We all wanted to find that hooded sweatshirt wearing individual who did this to Heidi.

The police released that sketch through the media to see if any tips would come in.

The composite sketch got a couple of leads, but nothing concrete.

And then as the years passed on the anniversary of Heidi's murder, the police and the news media would re-release that sketch.

If you know anything about this incident... I did a lot of media pushes with some of our local reporters and others.
