Strangulation was a possibility, I think, wasn't it, Tim?

Blunt force?

He knocked her out and then he put her in the passenger seat of the car and then he drove the car into the pond.

That's how it worked.

So the observer, the witness, saw the car going over a hill and into the pond but didn't see what happened to her beforehand.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, it's an argument that could have been made, all right.

But in the end, they really needed to solve that crime, and Steve was the way they could solve it.

So he was able to make that arrangement with them that he didn't go to jail.

And he was a lucky man in that sense.

Yes, exactly.

And the other cases, I mean, remember, he got misdemeanor charges.

He never did any jail time.

So this would have been a guy watering around scot-free for any number of bad acts.

It never looked real to me.

And I was a little surprised, frankly, that investigators could have looked at it in the first place and thought, yeah, that's Kelly.

That's the ex-girlfriend, not the current girlfriend.

It didn't make sense to me, but apparently it worked for a while.

Thank you.
