sergeant with the orange county sheriff department, had done her homework to. and on november 9th, 2010, she was more than ready to speak with paul curry about the death of his wife. more than 16 years earlier. paul met her at the salina police department. he came in without an attorney and agreed to answer questions. okay, i. paul curry. a camera was recording as paul talked about his long ago marriage to linda. we were very observed with one another. it was a wonderful many years. and he spoke of the night she died. i will come in the middle of the night and she was not breathing. and i called 9-1-1. and performed cpr and they came and there is nothing they could do.
right now, that paul is doing this, we can t prove something linda did acknowledge the suspicions of others. all my friends, a lot of my friends are saying that paul is guilty, get out of the house. but, she did not suspect her husband. i don t really believe that paul tried to do anything. she described a loving partner, who nursed her through her illness. i ve got to say that, overall, our relationships wonderful. he s a wonderful man. i love him. and she seemed to mean it in that interview. but in another one, she said something entirely different. so different it makes you sit up a little straighter. if somebody were trying to do something to you if they were trying to poison you any idea who would try to do that? well, the only person i could think of that would have the motive to do it would be paul.
report saying that she died within two hours of getting the nicotine. right. i don t know how to respond to that. a man who had always had all the answers suddenly had none. i m kind of taken by surprise. you are dredging up memories that are uncomfortable. he still thinks he s going to walk out of that interview. at that point, yes he does. paul had finally miscalculated. but shull knew that if paul didn t change his story about being alone with linda the night she died, he was essentially admitting that he and no one else had the opportunity to kill her, based on that report. two hours in, even left the room to call the prosecutor back in orange county to let him know how things were going. listen to what paul says to the other detective as he wait for ivã¡n to come back.
after 40 minutes or so, even started with the hard questions. you let pat have the rolex, right? first she confronted paul with the phony insurance key clean on linda s watch. i have been less than honest about that and his quite frankly, it was just a poor decision. right there in that room, he s basically keeping to insurance fraud? yes. which is way less and serious and murder, but but it s still a crime. but when it came to linda s death, paul seemed like a man with nothing to hide. in fact, he was the one who brought up the incidents with the eye these. there was something that went on in one of her hospitals rooms and someone explain to me exactly what occurred. be shull wanted an explanation to, before she wanted a reaction.
so would, he thinks he can get away with everything? it was very disappointing. all of it added up to a deeply unflattering portrait of paul curry, but did it add up to a case for murder? this prosecutor knew that it did not. he and the detective face the same problem that the detectives face in 1994, lots of suspicion, but no direct evidence that paul killed linda. and they felt that the current suspect, a self proclaimed genius knew that. he was smart enough to realize that any police officer, the minute after she was murdered is going to expect the husband to be the suspect. he was one step ahead. his theory, paul tested different poisons, carefully picked an obscure one, then poisoned himself, to cover his tracks. the first time linda got sick, he had the exact same symptoms, because that allows him to say both we both got sick, maybe we both
