Was there financial disputes going on between the two of you during the course of your marriage?

Was he angry at your spending?

No.

Son Scott and Chris Ferris said that's simply not true.

They said their mom loved to shop, spending lavishly on stuff they considered useless, like fur coats, jewelry, and art.

Melody once even withdrew a $50,000 line of credit without telling Gary.

And how many affairs did you have?

Two.

Melody Ferris admitted to me that she had two affairs during her marriage with Gary, but our conversation was years after the investigation started.
