i didn t know how he planned to get tim up there. a few months later, as jeff paridon and gene maxwell from compressed air technologies were beginning to ask questions of embezzlement of the business, she says gaede called wicks to finalize the phony music gig, telling him to come to north dakota so they could drive to canada together. during wicks first day at their house, fruge said he painted their staircase, plays with her son joshua, and seemed excited about the upcoming job. it was during the evening of his second day that everything changed. about 8:00 or 9:00 i gave joshy a bath and took him upstairs, and dennis and tim were like drinking and partying and stuff downstairs, and me and josh went to bed. and are they hitting it off like old friends? oh, yeah, drinking, smoking pot. what s the next thing you remember? dennis waking me up in a panic.
