Exactly.

She's, like, willing to talk.

But as the weeks ticked by, she does start distancing herself from the investigation.

And according to Sam, at this point, Lindley closed her spa.

She packed up her kids and she cut off all contact with the Renick family.

Lindley did show up for voluntary interviews with the police, and she was questioned a total of six times.

Meanwhile, she kept trying to sell the Renick family property, and Sam, who was still living there, ended up suing her in order to stop her.

And during this time, too, the remainder of Lindley's inheritance from Ben gets tied up in court.

And a court-appointed administrator was put in place to represent Ben's interests during the lengthy process of settling his estate, which was very complicated, as we know.

Until the probate process was complete, Lindley would have to apply to the court for allowances from the estate if she needed part of the money for her own living expenses.

And yet she's trying to sell the property as fast as she can.

There wasn't much police could do, though, about their suspicions at the time.
