Appearances
She seemed a little surprised that we were there because I didn't, you know, last I talked to her, I said, I recommend you pack some bags and go stay with somebody else. So I think she found that a little surprising that we showed up. But I mean, other than that, nothing unusual. Invited us in.
Initially, we didn't see Michael Oakes, but as we walked in the living room, he was walking up the stairs from a lower level.
And we point out that we're here on a task from Skagit County to find out if you were here because your car was seen in the area of Stover's residence at this particular time. And I flat asked him, what were you doing over there? And that's when he said, oh, I was over there. I was visiting my ex-wife.
So actually in my mind is, oh, Oaks just got caught messing around with his ex-wife, and now current girlfriend just found out about it.
Then he started to get pretty agitated and he's looking around and he goes, can I get up to find my medication? And we didn't have probable cause to have him under arrest. And I said, yeah, you're not under arrest. You can get up. So he's now looking around in the living room for his medication.
It is. And now Gene actually, Sergeant Davis, then I believe got the call from Skagit County. But in her house, like a lot of places up here, you don't get cell signal. He had to go out on the deck to actually get cell signal. So he's running around. I'm trying to keep an eye on him while he's looking for his medication.
And then Linda comes out of the back room and asks me something, which diverted my attention briefly. And then when I looked back for Oakes, he had ran down, went down the stairs that he had come up when we initially got there.
He went downstairs. So I said, Linda, he's got to be at least, he's not under arrest, but he has to be within my sight.
The sergeant said to me what he just saw Oakes doing, and to me that just threw the switch.
You're now the suspect, and I'm the deputy. Sit down on the couch. We got the second call from Skagit County that says we have probable cause. Put him under arrest.
Skagit County Sheriff's Office asked us to check any probable locations where the body may be dumped in water.
I just wanted to go on with my life with Michael, and I wanted Mark to go on with his life.
Everything he did took into account of his children. He worked at home so he could be there for them. He was a full-time single parent. He drove them to school every morning. He made sure he had Friday night movies time with them or game evenings. The family was a priority to him.
I was believing and hoping that that had enough impact and he recognized that this behavior was unacceptable and that he would be moving on with his life. And we went for many months where nothing happened.
I really started feeling more at peace in my life and more at ease and really felt that he was moving on and I was able to move on into a new relationship with nothing from the past hampering that.
No.
My guess in knowing Michael is he really did not want to stress me out more.
Ich bin aus dem Haupthaus meiner Familie auf ein kleines Gästehaus auf dem Gebiet geflogen.
Ich habe da für ein paar Monate geblieben, um zu sehen, ob Marc endlich verstehen würde, wie ernsthaft ich wirklich wäre, wenn wir nicht eine Beziehung bauen könnten und er Hilfe suchen würde.
I drove down from the house that I was staying at down to the main house and I told him that I wanted a divorce. And he, right there and then, I could tell he just snapped. He went just sheer white. His eyes went just crazy. He clenched his hands and fists and he was just in a shaking rage with me.
