You said you wanted to talk to us about, you left a message on my voicemail earlier today about Brett Reedy.

Sandy said he remembered detectives telling him, if you think of anything, let us know.

Well now, he was back.

And he was thinking about Leslie's boss, Brett Reedy.

According to Sandy, Leslie had told him about arguments she said she'd had with Brett.

He said she described one in particular, where she said things had gotten heated.

Sandy wondered to police...

Why was Brett, who wasn't a close friend of theirs, so interested in coming over to the house the day Leslie didn't turn up for work?

But the detectives didn't seem all that interested in Sandy's questions about Brett Reedy.

Sandy told detectives that Leslie said she felt Brett singled her out at work.

If Sandy was trying to shift some of the suspicion off of him, it didn't seem to be working.

And just by being there, back in the presence of the detectives, Sandy opened himself up to another round of questions about his marriage.

Here's what detectives weren't telling Sandy Prier.

He wasn't just the number one suspect in the case.

He was the only suspect.

The investigation was leading detectives toward a common true crime trope.

The husband did it.

That is, until the evidence said otherwise.

From ABC Audio and 2020, I'm Stephanie Ramos, and this is Blood and Water.
