And Then She Killed Him Read Online Free PDF Page B

tried to keep his business dealings separate from the house. And he had an attorney for the business end of things—a man named Bill Coleman. As far as an attorney for his will, Miriam said it was a different attorney, and she didn’t know that person’s name.
    Jarrell asked, “Who did your prenup agreement?”
    Miriam said, “Alan wrote it up and I signed it. I don’t know who handled it after that. There’s probably a copy of it in his desk drawer.”
    Danny Norris spoke up and asked, “Did he have prescription drugs for medical problems?”
    Miriam responded, “Um, he quit smoking cold turkey last year. He ended up having to go to the doctor because his blood pressure shot up. And they also put him on Wellbutrin, because he had emotional issues with that. (The blood pressure going up.) But he wasn’t taking that lately.”
    “You mentioned three daughters. Does he have a son?”
    For the first time, Miriam brought up the fact that he did. “Alan Jr.,” she said. “I think he lives in Alaska now. Um, Alan wasn’t really on good terms with Alan Jr. He was supposed to be coming to Denver to meet Kristy (at the airport) and they were coming here.”
    According to Miriam, Alan was only going to allow Alan Jr. to stay with them for a few nights, because there were problems between him and his son. And everything said about Alan Jr. now came through Miriam’s perspective. A lot of the things she had to say about him were fairly negative.
    All of this was important, and Jarrell asked with surprise, “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”
    Miriam replied, “Because Alan didn’t like to talk about it. Alan tried to keep Alan Jr. at arm’s distance, because there was always a fight or something going on when he was there.”
    Obviously, the mention of a fight and problems was disconcerting to the detectives. Jarrell asked, “When did Alan last talk to Alan Jr.?”
    Miriam said that had been about a week and a half before, so Jarrell followed up with, “When was Alan Jr. supposed to arrive?”
    Miriam thought he would be flying to Denver and would then make arrangements with Kristy. Kristy was supposedly going to fly to Denver, rent a car and they both would come out to Whitewater.
    As far as where Alan Jr. was presently living, Miriam said, “He just went up to Alaska and no one really knows where he’s living at.” When asked how long ago he had moved up there, Miriam replied, “Three or four months ago.”
    Jarrell wondered, “What was the relationship like between Alan and Alan Jr. three or four months ago?”
    Miriam responded, “The same. It’s been that way for many years.”
    “Did Alan Jr. know where you guys lived now?”
    “Yes, he did.”
    Jarrell wanted to know how old Alan Jr. was. Miriam didn’t know an actual age, but thought that he was in his early forties. Then Jarrell asked if Miriam had ever witnessed any fights between Alan and Alan Jr.
    Miriam said, “No. He was on his best behavior at home.”
    Detective Jarrell took a long time digesting all of this. While she did, Detective Norris asked, “How was Alan Jr. to get from Alaska to Denver?”
    Miriam said, “I don’t know for sure. That never came up. I know that every time Alan Jr. called, Alan would get kind of prickled.”
    “Prickled?”
    “Not mad, but very cautious. Kind of like the hair goes up on the back of your neck.”
    “Did Alan ever talk about any concerns about Alan Jr.? About him showing up unexpectedly?”
    Miriam replied, “Oh, yeah. I think he told him in the past not to show up unexpectedly. Because Alan really didn’t want him to know where we lived. And Alan Jr. would say to Alan, ‘All I want to do is go fishing with you.’ But Alan would reply, ‘No, you want something else.’ Alan tried to be real guarded about his son, but he prickled up pretty good every time Alan Jr. called.”
    “Did Alan ever express any concerns about his daughters’ well-being around Alan Jr., as well as his
