just didn’t have that kind of relationship with people. So. . .you know. . .she did call me occasionally when she was gone to tell me she was either doing better or things were about the same. But. . .you know
.I
don’t really get into her personal life a lot.
And in terms of, those things. . .you know. . .that’s not
.it’s not what I consider a friendship. . .you know.
It’s.. .it’s not what I consider a friendship.

Sudler:
Okay. Well, understandably we’re looking for factors
in her life that. . .you know. . .brought her to. . .you know
the weeks before her death. . .and.. . and whether or
not those factors had any bearing on. . .on her death.
So if there’s anything that.. .you know. . .that. . that
you can tell us or anyone that you can point us to
that could be.. .you know. . .freely associative with us
and talk to us about her personal problems or
relationships. . .what was eating her and bothering her...
you know. . .to the point. . .you know.. .that. . .that.. .that
she had to take a month off from work. . .or whatever you
can tell us. That’s what we kinda need to know.
Slaughter:
Well, let me.. .okay.. .but let me ask you this.
Det.
Sudler:
Okay.
Slaughter:
What was the cause of her death?
Det.
Sudler:
I don’t know. The Medical Examiner is gonna determine
that based on our investigation. If we had an 80 year
old person with a history of heart disease, it would
be easy for them. and to talk to their physician and
say “I’ve been treating this patient for.. .you know...
40 years and it’s occlusive coronary artery disease”.
We’ve got what. . .we have a.. .you know.. .a 36 year old
healthy female here that has a traffic accident and
two weeks later she’s dead. So there’s questions that
they want concerning her background....
