Rob's Sister (Leslie Padron)

But just as the weather changes, so too can love. I never even dreamed of them getting divorced. What happened? They just grew apart.

Yes, we definitely were concerned because it was all circumstantial.

My sister-in-law told me that Rob had died in the fire. Right away, I knew there was something suspicious.

I think at the time, Susan felt compassion for her. It wasn't easy, but she did certainly understand that Rob had very strong feelings for her and that Sophie had very strong feelings for him. And so there were two women who had strong feelings about someone just embracing each other. That's really nice. It was nice.

That was horrific. We knew he knew he was guilty as hell. We knew he was. To put us through this again, to draw this all up to the surface, to make it so raw all over again, was just horrible.

Amazing. He would have loved it. I always have that moment of sadness of what he's missing and that I hope he can see, you know, how happy his children are with their lives and his grandchildren.

It just had no reality to me at all.

I said, something's not right. He couldn't have died in a fire. Why didn't you think he could die in a fire? People die in fires. Well, he could have only if he had like a major heart attack or if something exploded in the basement. And my brother was a triathlete. There's no way I could imagine he would have died in a fire.

And I think it was the next day the detectives came back and told us that he was shot. Somebody killed him? And, you know, they don't give you a lot of information. Like, we didn't know, did someone break in? Was anything tampered with? It's very hard. It's awful because no one's allowed to say anything about anything.

Yeah, he adored her. I don't think anybody imagined that this is something we should be wary of.

The community was kind of very taken aback and very concerned about this.

Definitely, that would have been the case. They didn't have much crime in the area at all.

People go their own separate ways. I never even dreamed of them getting divorced. My brother was afraid to tell me. Susan, his wife, actually called to tell me.

We had no idea about the emails. We had no reason to believe anything would happen.

He did it that night. And he was still out there, and who else would he hurt?

I'm sure my brother thought that eventually they'd become friends. Yeah. Because that's what happened with everyone in his life.
