And im thinking why are you sorry . And while the cops tracked down the killer this is the rug that he was on at the time he was murdered. She tracked down her lover. But love was the last thing on her mind. Why the hell didnt you just run . I kept feeling the love. The love . She just tried to shoot you to death. 3 f2 asesinar teme acabas de the. 44 magnum slugs that ripped through his body. Blew holes in the wall behind him. And im on the ground, and im crying, why are you killing me . And she answered with a bullet to the chest. So of course its a love story, in its own weird perverted way. A story about a kid and a dame. About people who act like theyre living in movies. Like double indemnity. Or body heat. Or sin city. But the star would be the simple trusting guy who gets played for a chump. If you can imagine a chumps worst nightmare. I had an uncle by marriage. And he was sexually molesting me. But then, life had never been a box of chocolates for jaime ramos. I was about 6, 7 when it started. And tended about somewhere between 15 and 17. I ten years. Yes. Reporter he barely knew his imprisoned father. Not even a memory of mother. I lost my mother at 2 years old. She committed suicide. Reporter is that why young jaime turned out the way he did . I think in reality is what has always caused me to seek for a mother figure in my life. How do you feel when youre with older women . I just feel like secure. Reporter needy was our jaime. And then he was in ninth grade, hormones in overdrive, and a woman who offered herself as a substitute mother of sorts. Was one of his teachers. We became friends. And then it started to become an intimate relationship. And i was with her till i was about 17. Outrageous . Of course. Illegal. Immoral. Just plain wrong. And like all the forbidden loves in the movies, it was destined to end badly. The teacher finally sent him a message, jaime tells us, several the relationship. And when the heartsick boy ran to her house to plead with her not to leave him, she locked him out. I ended up smashing the sliding door open with a chair outside that she had, a patio chair. Police were called, of course, and jaime arrested. And the last words i ever heard from her were dont dare you say you know me, you psycho. Thats when he was overcome by the strangest feeling. It would happen a lot. Like he was living in a movie. In this case the film noir thriller body heat. In which a lover is wildly obsessed by his woman. Jaime wasnt thinking about the part where the lover is set up to take the fall for a husbands murder. But then, why would he . That would be like remembering something that hadnt happened. Not yet anyway. For now jaimes life out in californias Mojave Desert was quite a mess. A stretch in jufy, no job waiting on the outside. And it was ironically in the spirit of kindness that some we wellmeaning soul directed jaime up here. Up here to the Sierra Nevada mountains, where jaime joined the california conservation corps, a work camp where a kid can grow and learn in the great outdoors. Naturally such places require supervisors to watch over the young people, look out for them. One of jaimes minders was a married middleaged mother by the name of patty presba. I saw all the other young men and women there calling her mother. Or mom. Reporter and so of course jaime did too. How did she respond . With pure kindness and understanding. Reporter jaime felt he had finally found someone he could confide in about his years of abu abuse. I gave her my whole life story, from beginning to end. Id given her things that my family doesnt even know about. She made me feel like a man again. You never felt like a man before . Never felt like a real man before until i talked to her. Mind you, patty was every bit of 47. Years that had lumped themselves unkindly around her face and frame. And jaime was a babyfaced 21, younger than any of pattys four children. But who can understand the mysteries of love . Within weeks romance bloomed. Their flirtatious encounters were even occasionally caught on store surveillance tapes, all playing out in a Country Place where Everybody Knows everybody pretty much. They call it the divide, this isolated mountain top, faded gold rush town with a population smaller than most high schools. Hard to keep a secret up here. So they were careful, mostly. Shed sneak in late at night when the others were asleep. Didnt it seem odd to you to be with an older woman . It never felt odd. It always felt right for me. Just to have that comfort. Twisted . Well, perhaps, yes, to you or me. But jaime was a lover one day, a son the next, and all along showered with gifts and attention. She even took him shooting with her brand new revolver, a. 44 magnum. I was shooting bullets for like half an hour straight. Just having the time of my life. What did that feel like . Powerful. And i felt like a kid. You know, like thats the thing about those experiences. I always ended up feeling like a kid again. And how did that make you feel about her . It made me feel indebted. Indebted indeed. Jaime would learn soon enough that patty expected repayment. She had his heart. Next on pattys list, jaimes soul, and her husband. She was like you want me to leave him, right . Yes.

Life had been an awful struggle for jaime ramos, out here on the sunblistered sandy streets of his boyhood. No mother, no father. Sexually abused by an uncle. So if once a childhood teacher awakened his desire, well, perhaps it wasnt so hard to understand. But his love now for patty . A woman twice his age. Her youngest son was older happen jaime. And he was more impassioned than ever. Hed do anything for this woman. Anything. Oh, and he would. You liked to please her. Yes. Did i ever try not pleasing her, disadwreeg wigreeing with . Yes. And she would get angry with me. And it hurt me. I went back to feeling insignificant. I went back to feeling alone. And not a man. And not a man. It always brings me back to the void of losing my mother. Its unbearable. Your bones want to come out of your skin from anxiety. I start thinking these suicidal thoughts. And once, when patty was making up with jaime after putting him through one of those awful black and needy days, she revealed a terrible secret. Her husband, ron presba, she said, had been beating her. I just kept telling her, well, get a divorce. Leave. Find an apartment. Do something. Live with your kids. But it was never that simple. There was always some complication for her. Like what, for example . Even her children didnt believe her. I felt bad. But shes one of the most honest people ive ever met, and yet shes telling me how her kids dont even believe her. It made me feel even more in love with her. Like wow, i guess it really is only you and me against them. Yeah. The two of you against the world. Yes. Reporter and then one secret weekend they managed to get away. Patty said shed told her husband she was attending a conference in San Francisco. But really she was attending to jaime. And she had a special surprise in mind. To be unveiled along this pier near fishermans wharf. It was valentines day. She bought two matching engagement rings. And she gave her private ceremony of a wedding with me. And i felt that i was her husband. During this wedding she said that shed promised me that the only way wed break up ever would be death. Death do us part, literally. And a few weeks later patty arranged another trip, another weekend tryst. This time it was las vegas. And she told him it was to be their honeymoon. She took me to the place that i always wanted to go to, and that was the star trek experience. It was the greatest time of my life. Until this day i honestly believe that i was on the enterprise. I got to talk to commander riker and data and geordi la forge. I mean, it was great. To jaime patty was a rainmaker, a magical person who could transform him from boy to man to husband. And his love, his obsession, was real. It was spiritual. Those secret wedding vows they exchanged on this San Francisco pier . Were as binding to jaime as if theyd been made in a holy cathedral before god. A promise he made terrifyingly real a few weeks later. It was during one of their weekend getaways. They were on the freeway, jaime driving. When his cell phone rang. It was an exgirlfriend. And patty, listening to jaimes slightly embarrassed attempts to politely get the girl off the phone, became suddenly violently angry. She throws this water bottle at my head, and that gets me flustered. Like what did you do that for . Just pull the car over. Turn it around. Were over. Were through. I started yelling at her telling her, so youre telling me that were through . She said yes. And i said, well, then that means we need to die if thats what youre saying. I pushed the car to like 95 and i purposely ran myself under a semi truck. Somehow we spun out from the tires instead of getting sucked in and landed in the median, rolling. And not a scratch on us. And i told her, i told you till death do us apart. So what else would jaime do for pattys love . After the accident she offered her forgiving embraces. She brought jaime out of his misery. And then she began sobbing and trembling and told him she had a terrible secret, more terrible than any secret she had told him before. Her husband, she said, had become even more violent and now he had crossed a dreadful threshold. Now he had raped her. I felt like this man did it to me. And i promised myself that this will never happen to me again. And since it happened to me again, im going to hurt this man. Reporter and thats the moment when a strange, dark, and curious little idea wormed its way into jaimes allconsuming story of love. It was pattys idea, of course. She was a movie buff, too. And she fed jaime a line right out of body heat. I wish hed die. Thats really what i want. Its horrible, and its ugly. And its what i most want. Shes like, well, you want me to leave him, right . Yes. And you dont want him to hurt me no more, right . Yes. Well, then what if he accidentally dies . Reporter if only jaime had known pattys real plans and the real patty. I had not liked her since day one. She just rubbed me the wrong way. She was very fake. Unlimited. As in, no limits on your hardearned cash back. As in no more dealing with those rotating categories.

Life in the mountains can be dangerous. Accidents do happen here. So now when patty came to spirit jaime away from his dormitory she filled his head with ideas about all the dreadful things that could well happen to that abusive husband of hers. She starts coming up with these ideas of, you know, him going off a cliff. Reporter but to him, says jaime, all that talk was just that. Talk. No more real than some plotline from one of the movies he liked to watch. What was patty planning . Jaime began to understand. When his lover brought some paperwork to their next secret tryst. It came one day to where she presented me an envelope with this Life Insurance policy. And thats when i realized that everything we were talking about was really for real. Reporter the Life Insurance policy would pay the beneficiary twice as much if the insured person died an accidental death. That kind of policy is known in the business as double indemnity. Double indemnity is also the name of a 40s film classic about a woman who seduces a man and sets him up to kill her husband. He keeps me shut up. Hes always been mean to me. Sometimes you wish he was dead. I do. And you wish it was an accident. And you had that policy for 50,000. Is that it . Perhaps that too. Reporter but that was long before jaimes time. And for all the movies he watched, this was a plotline he knew nothing about. Even if in this new and reallife version the starring role would be his. If it makes her happy, then thats what ill do. Because unhappy . Because unhappy is not not an option. Not an option. And whatever happened to me didnt matter along as she was happy. Jaime had, he told her, only one condition. I told her, if you want me to kill a man, i need to see what hes like. So patty concocted one of her stories. She told ron that jaime had just quit his job with the conservation corps and needed a place to stay for a few weeks before moving on to texas. And now jaime finally had a chance to face pattys monster. Right away he wasnt the man i expected. He was very enjoyable. He taught me things about using hand tools. He was funny. He had a lot of jokes. He told me about his life and his kids. He was not at all the man that she portrayed him to be. No. Not at all. In fact, well leave the lovebirds briefly and spend a couple minutes with their intended victim. Ron presba was a bear of a man, born and raised right here on the divide. Never lived anywhere else. Hed had all kinds of jobs. Ranch hand, backhoe operator. You name it. But mostly he was a father and a son, and people around here liked him. Ron loved his simple life up here on the divide. He was a real mountain man, an original. Raised his two daughters on his modest acreage up there among the pine trees. Tried marriage three times. But the one constant in his life year after year was the short stroll across the street to his mothers house, where the two of them would sit together every afternoon and have tea. Rons mother, lois, says his son was devoted to his two adoring daughters, april and misti, and they to him. Oh, my gosh. He was like a father and a mother. They didnt have a mother. So i mean he, you know, cooked and took care of their laundry and cleaned the house. Hed do our air and french braid our hair. Yeah, french braid our hair. Grizzly adams who french braids your hair . Yeah. Whoa. And he knew he was like a motherfather. And he really knew huh to take care of us. And he did a really good job and taught us a lot. And even though by the time ron took up with patty his two daughters were moving off into lives of their own, they were confused about his infatuation and then quite deeply hurt when their father, not a word to them, eloped. I have not liked her since day one. She just rubbed me the wrong way. She was very fake, very fake . I just had those vibes of false from her. She just nothing that she said seemed to be true. Rons mother got the same impression as well. There was just something that just wasnt real about her. I just really couldnt put my finger on it. But ron seemed to be totally in love with her. And you know, so when you go along with his wishes. Sound familiar . Ron would do anything to make patty happy. He was trying to please her. He was always trying to please her. And when she lied to him, told him shed been sexually assaulted by her own father, ron believed, it took it to herart. Even if his daughters didnt believe her for a minute. She had told my dad that she was molested by her dad. And my dad, raising two daughters of his own, i think that he felt sorry for her and was like, i need to help her. But was it pity patty was after . Or was it the kind of control ron seemed unaware of . The daughters had caught patty in an affair once before. And now . They had radar for these things. It seemed pretty obvious to them patty was straying again. And we knew because she started wearing makeup and she lost almost 60 pounds and she was dressing all cutesy and short shorts and tighter pants and laying out in the sun. You know, i think that my dad was an intelligent man. So i think that he did know. But i think that he, again, was just finding the good. Mmhmm. And you know, he always wanted to please. And so this maybe if i do more then shell recognize that. Desperately trying to win over a woman who had only murder on her mind. Now she had a man willing to do the dirty work.
