She told folks, I feel someone's watching me.
She saw a shadow or a face, but she thought
somebody was peering in her window.
He seemed to know that she was home alone on Friday night.
Lindy was clearly trying to escape
the clutches of this person.
She actually fought for her life.
He took the love of my life away from me.
Some of these serial killers, it's almost
like a badge of honor how many people they've killed.
This is the first time, perhaps,
he let his fantasy play out.
And then the letter came.
You know, that was the real clincher.
This person was still out there and full of hatred
for some reason.
They exhausted every lead that they had.
And nothing ever panned out.
A cold case dating back nearly a half century
appears to have been cracked this week.
How could you have lived with yourself?
On Friday, December 5, 1975,
Celeste and Merle Little
were coming home from their son's basketball game
at the local high school in Manor Township, Pennsylvania,
and they decided to stop by and visit their niece, Lindy.
Lindy was a newlywed.
She was only 19 years old, so she wasn't
used to being alone at night.
And they knew that she was going to be home alone,
because her husband, Phil, worked on Friday nights.
Around 8:42, they pulled up outside the apartment building.
Celeste walked up to Lindy's apartment.
And the door was open.
And from the doorway, she could see
her niece lying on the floor
with a very visible butcher knife handle
sticking out of her neck.
After 32 years on the job,
I've worked my share of homicides.
You get used to walking into some pretty awful situations.
But the murder of Lindy Sue Biechler back in 1975
shocked even the most seasoned detectives.
I've never, ever seen another scene like that.
It was one that I'll remember forever.
The door was standing open.
There was a large amount of blood on the door,
on the floor,
along the wall, just all over the apartment.
And you could see the blood trail.
And then that blood trail led back
to where she was found on the floor.
Lindy Sue was covered with blood, laying on her back.
She was brutally, brutally assaulted.
In the kitchen were some bags of groceries.
Some of them were empty.
But some of them were still full.
That told them that something had happened to interrupt
Lindy when she was in the process
of putting away the groceries.
How did that person get in?
But as investigators looked at it,
they realized that there was no indication
that there was forced entry into that apartment.
It seemed likely that she had
opened the door to someone.
There was blood on the outside of the door
and on the inside.
So that means the door was open at the time
the assault took place.
Basically, it looked like she would have been attacked
as soon as she opened the door.
That's what the evidence showed.
She actually fought for her life.
Lindy was clearly trying to escape
the clutches of this person.
There may have been some kind of a short chase
into the living room, a lamp knocked over,
and then it somehow wound its way closer to the kitchen,
where she was viciously murdered.
For Lindy's family, her sudden murder
is understandably a shocking turn of events,
especially considering how safe
Lancaster County normally is.
This was a huge crime that shocked the community.
No matter where a crime like this happens, it is shocking.
But Manor Township is a small rural suburb
of Lancaster County.
Lancaster County is about 60 miles west of Philadelphia.
Back then, it had around 50,000 people.
But a lot of people think of Lancaster County,
they think of the Amish community.
Growing up around here, we would always hear
the clip, clip, clop of the Amish buggies.
They would bring their goods into town for the market.
So it's a small community.
People really love living there.
You just wouldn't worry, you know?
You wouldn't worry living in Lancaster.
But that night, I just wanted to go
to my brother right away.
I'm Beth Clark.
Lindy was my brother's wife,
my sister-in-law.
On December 5, 1975, I went home,
and my grandfather was there.
He just said to me,
there's been a terrible accident,
and Lindy is dead.
It is just one of those horrible, dark,
crashing-in-on-you moments.
Lindy was sunshine in a room.
She had a beautiful smile, very easygoing.
We were a close family.
And she just fit right in.
You felt lucky to know her
and even luckier to be a part of her life.
All of our family loved her.
When I found out she was killed, I felt shocked,
and I felt very saddened.
I had asked my dad about Phil,
and my father had said that he was at work.
They had to tell him what had happened.
OK, cameras. Speed.
I got a call from Celeste saying I should go home,
that an accident happened.
So I speeded home as fast as I could.
I saw flashing lights, police cars all around.
I parked out in the street and ran over to my apartment.
A policeman took ahold of me and told me
not to go in there.
He said my wife was dead,
and I just kind of collapsed.
I sort of was in shock, just crying my eyes out.
It was the worst feeling
I've ever felt in my entire life.
I sat down,
and the coroner there gave me a sedative.
The next thing I remember was sitting
in the Manor Township Police Department.
When the police interviewed me that first night,
they said that 90% of these cases,
the husband is a suspect.
But I didn't really think I had anything to hide,
so I told him everything.
I told him that she worked at Landis Flowers that day.
And I told her that I'd just seen her at, like, 5:00.
She had just picked up my paycheck from the place
that I worked at, which was Hertz Rent-a-Car.
I hugged her and kissed her
and opened the door for her in her car
and saw her drive away.
The police took his clothing.
They got him locked in in a statement.
It's always great to get somebody locked in
in a statement, because that statement
can never change.
So they did do their due diligence
looking at the person who would initially be
the most obvious person.
Detectives finished the interview with Phil
and turned their attention to the crime scene.
But remember, this is 1975.
There's no DNA technology and very little forensics
compared to what we have today.
There was a knife missing from the knife set
in the kitchen that matched the knife that was in her neck.
There was a tea towel wrapped around
the knife handle, and detectives found
matching tea towels in the kitchen.
Lindy's shirt was a little bit pushed up,
and her pants were fully unbuttoned and unzipped.
However, she wore pantyhose underneath,
I assume to stay warm.
And those pantyhose and underwear were intact.
Her pants were unbuttoned.
But there was no indication there was
any sort of direct sexual assault which took place.
The crime scene also suggested
to investigators that this was not a planned robbery.
It was designed for some other reason.
The morning after the murder,
detectives continue their investigation
by talking to Lindy's friends.
Lindy worked at a flower and gift shop
owned by 34-year-old local businessman Bob Aument.
He was one of the last people to see her alive
after she left work that afternoon.
So obviously, he had to be interviewed.
But when detectives went to talk to Bob,
he had disappeared.
The detectives knew that Lindy and Bob were very, very close.
Perhaps Bob had feelings for her
that were not reciprocated.
Maybe Bob had gone over there to her apartment that night.
Everyone was certain that Lindy would have
opened the door to him.
Police need to speak with Lindy's boss right away,
but they are met with a very sudden
and surprising roadblock.
Detectives received a tip from a worker
at a local psychiatric hospital that Bob Aument had
checked himself into this psychiatric hospital
very shortly after Lindy's murder.
The investigators' hairs on the back of their necks
go up, because there's something unusual about this.
Is he having a psychological breakdown
because she was murdered by someone else
or because he was the murderer?
Coming up...
I told them that she felt like
there was somebody stalking her.
This woman, Mary Schinzing, was stabbed to death
brutally in an apartment, same time of night.
The community of Manor Township
was very frightened.
You have somebody who you don't know,
who is still out there.
December 1975,
less than a day after the violent murder
of 19-year-old Lindy Sue Biechler,
police are looking to interview
one of the last people to see her alive.
But he's checked himself into a psychiatric facility.
Bob Aument was not just her boss at the flower shop.
He was her friend.
And he had spent that whole day with her.
What transpired during that day
that may have resulted
in a violent action only two hours or so
after she left work?
So they had to talk to him.
At the psychiatric hospital, even though the police
were investigating a murder, the hospital staff would not
allow them to speak with Bob.
Unable to interview their suspect,
detectives return to headquarters.
There, they examine the autopsy
and forensics results.
The autopsy showed there were 19 stab wounds,
multiple in the torso, chest, and back.
And some of those wounds appeared to be a narrower blade
than that butcher knife that was left
at the scene in her neck.
Some of the initial stabs were from a much smaller,
4-inch-long folding knife.
Unfortunately, the killer had the foresight
to take that knife with him.
Then the detectives reviewed the blood samples
from the crime scene to determine
whether it was only Lindy's blood
or blood from another person,
and it appeared that it was all from the victim.
You're stabbed 19 times,
there's going to be a lot of blood.
This was surprising that the killer
was able to keep from having his blood
being all over the place.
There were no fingerprints found at the scene,
certainly none belonging to the offender.
No further evidence is found.
No motive is clear.
24 hours after the murder, detectives canvass
the small community of Manor Township
and piece together a timeline of Lindy's last day.
Lindy Sue got up December 5th.
She went to work at the flower shop.
She left
4:00, 4:30 in the afternoon.
She went
to her husband's place of employment,
which was Hertz, picked up his paycheck,
went to the bank.
People saw her at the bank.
And she went to a grocery store,
a local grocery store.
Detectives spoke with people at the grocery store
that remembered her.
And then she drove home, and it looked like
just after she carried the groceries
into her apartment, she was killed.
Police did canvass the neighbors,
and no one had heard anything in terms of screaming.
No one saw anything.
However, a neighbor across the street told them
that she had looked out her front window,
and Lindy's car was not there at 6:45 p.m.
But when she looked out her window again,
and Lindy's car was there,
backed into its spot at 7:05 p.m.
We know the aunt and uncle came to her apartment
after 8:00.
So that gave us kind of a narrow window
when it happened.
In cases with little physical evidence,
a time frame for the crime becomes your main focus.
Detectives can now check the alibi of any suspects
in Lindy's murder,
starting with her husband, Phil.
Phil Biechler was working for a Hertz dealership
in the city of Lancaster.
He was at work. He never left work.
He had witnesses putting him there
and customers dealing with him.
So the investigators knew pretty much
they had to kind of put him aside and look elsewhere.
Bob was the next logical suspect, Lindy's boss.
And police finally were able to talk to Bob
when he left the psychiatric hospital
several days later.
Eventually, Bob Aument was interviewed by investigators.
They were asking questions of him and about him.
Bob Aument went into a hospital
for psychiatric care.
Well, Bob Aument was a very sensitive man.
And so losing somebody like her, this way,
affected him a lot more than any other people would be.
So I knew that Bob would have never done this.
The reality is that police didn't have any evidence
against Bob Aument,
that he had been at the apartment
or that he had done anything to Lindy.
In fact, police admitted that they didn't
have any evidence against anyone.
Well, the big question was, of course, who and why?
Like, why would you-- she wasn't--
didn't have any enemies that I knew of.
I thought she was the sweetest thing ever made.
But she was very confident at the same time.
Lindy's plan was to open up her own flower shop,
and she wanted me to become an art teacher.
I would say that Lindy probably
brought out the best in me.
That's what was so puzzling about it.
You know, who could hate her that much?
She was such a great person, a nice person.
Three days after Lindy's murder,
detectives talk to Phil again,
digging into why Lindy was afraid to be home alone.
I told them she had mentioned
that she felt like there was somebody stalking her.
And she thought somebody was peering in her window.
She became a little nervous.
She had told folks, I feel someone's watching me.
But they exhausted every lead that they had,
and nothing ever panned out.
Had to be extremely, extremely frustrating.
Three months pass with no new leads.
In March of 1976, another brutal murder
happened in Columbia.
Columbia is not that far from where the apartment was
in Manor Township.
This woman, Mary Schinzing, was stabbed to death
brutally in an apartment, same time of night.
This looked like a really promising lead.
It happened on March 5th.
Lindy was killed on the 5th of December.
It happened in the evening.
Both of those nights happened to be a Friday night.
There could be a direct correlation here.
Three months after the murder
of Lindy Sue Biechler,
a strikingly similar homicide occurs in a neighboring town.
The victim is a young woman named Mary Schinzing.
Mary lived alone.
It was a knife murder.
It was brutal. It was violent.
So there was a lot of similarities.
There was an arrest made in that case.
The guy's name was Arndt, Kenneth Arndt.
He was a handyman who did work on her apartment building,
and he was watching her.
He had worked for an appliance delivery company,
and police were told that he had actually
been on a truck that had been at Lindy's apartment building.
He could have been familiar with that apartment complex,
even familiar with Lindy Sue.
Kenneth Arndt vehemently denied
killing Lindy Sue Biechler.
And when they checked
all the delivery truck route staffing,
they learned that there was no concrete link
between Kenneth Arndt and any delivery
made to the Spring Manor apartments.
He was convicted for Mary's murder.
But for Lindy's murder, he was crossed off the list.
He looked like a strong suspect.
But that's how investigations go.
You have to be willing to get up
and kind of dust yourself off and continue on
with your investigation.
One unusual aspect of this case--
and there are several--
was the fact that just about a year after Lindy's murder,
the tombstone marking her grave
was vandalized by someone.
It was chipped away
with some sort of a tool, screwdriver.
My aunt was taking flowers to the gravesite
and saw this.
So, again, the fear that this person
was still out there and still so full
of hatred for some reason.
I mean, why would you do that?
What was the purpose there?
I don't know.
But I think the killer did it.
And then the letter came.
You know, that was the real clincher.
Several days after someone defaced the tombstone,
Chief Sheeler of the Manor Township Police Department
received a handwritten letter
that claimed to be from the killer
of Lindy Sue Biechler
and talked about what he had done to the tombstone
and talked about how he would strike again.
It was a sort of a mocking tone.
Was it the killer himself,
or was it some mentally deranged person
who just wanted to insert themselves
into this investigation?
The police didn't know.
Detectives send the letter to the FBI.
I am a criminal profiler/behavioralist.
But I'm also a forensic linguist.
If there's any case I'm probably most known for,
it's the Unabomb case.
I remember looking at this letter
with my fellow profilers.
And after studying the language,
I was convinced that this letter was most likely a hoax
and not from the killer.
But we created a profile of the killer.
The early profile indicated that the offender was
19 to 25 years of age,
an explosive personality or temperament,
and could have very well been a peeping Tom.
This is the first time, perhaps, he let his fantasy
play out, and he confronted Lindy,
thinking maybe his fantasy would go in another direction.
It quickly went another way, and he took her out.
Over the next several years,
police remain on the lookout for anyone
matching the profile of Lindy's killer.
Fast forward to 1982, police arrest a man in Florida
named Gerald Stano.
He's a serial killer who confesses to murdering
more than 30 women.
Stano had stabbed many of his victims to death.
His targets were generally young white women.
And when he was arrested and he started confessing,
he told police he had killed four to six women
in the Pennsylvania area.
As they looked into his background,
they realized he had a Pennsylvania driver's license.
His parents lived very close to Manor Township
in Lancaster County.
Maybe Gerald Stano had been visiting his parents
and had perhaps seen her at John Herr's Market,
and just like he killed scores of other women, killed Lindy.
In October of 1982,
detectives travel down to Florida to interview
Gerald Stano, a man who shared a prison cell with Ted Bundy.
One police technique for interviewing serial killers
is to avoid appealing to their emotions.
They're too cold.
Your best bet is to provoke them
into bragging about their crimes.
Stano generally liked to talk about his crimes.
He liked the attention.
But when asked about Lindy, he denied having anything
to do with her murder.
Why he wouldn't confess to this one
if he, in fact, did it is unclear.
But the investigators took it as far as they could with him.
Subsequent to the Lancaster authorities
interviewing Stano,
it was determined Stano was in Florida
at the exact time in December of '75 that Lindy was killed,
so that pretty much gave him a rock-solid alibi
for her murder.
More than a decade passes.
The 20-year investigation into the murder
of Lindy Sue Biechler remains cold.
When the case went cold, I felt--
and I believe the family did, too--
are we ever going to find out who did this?
I was hopeful.
But I also walled myself off for a number of years.
I wouldn't say that I had a drinking problem,
but I liked to drink a lot just to deaden the nerves.
He took the love of my life away from me.
But after some stormy years and bad years,
I went back to school, dedicated to let
Lindy's life not go in vain.
But I remember one day
I was going down to the convenience store,
and I went in there to buy a newspaper,
because I had heard the newspaper had come out
with the anniversary of this.
Standing in line with the newspaper,
and there was a mother and daughter
standing in front of me.
And the mother said, after all these years,
I bet you it's the husband that did it.
And I'm standing right behind them.
I just dropped the newspaper and walked out.
I went home and cried.
You know, it just brings up all that stuff all over again.
As someone who's passionate about solving cold cases,
I can tell you this.
When a murder goes unsolved for this long,
it's not just frustrating for the families.
It's frustrating for you as a cop.
You feel a responsibility to the victim
to find some kind of clue
that will lead you to the killer.
In 1997, a few county detectives
went to Manor Township and said, hey,
it's been years and years.
This case is very cold.
Would you like some help?
Because DNA in the mid to late '90s
was coming more of age.
So the investigators came in,
and they sent the tea towel, clothing,
and these other things to Cellmark Labs.
That was the lab that was able to develop DNA profiles.
They were actually able to find a semen stain on the underwear.
This had never been detected before.
And it gave a motive to the case
that previously had seemed motiveless.
Now, police realized she had indeed been
sexually assaulted by the killer.
It was suspected that he had possibly
masturbated over her dead body
while he surveyed his handiwork.
But what was really important was because we were firmly
in the DNA era now, the lab was able to obtain a profile
and entered it into the national DNA
database of offenders.
You get excited about that because you know
that there's hope, because if it's a match,
then you got your person.
The results are disappointing.
The DNA sample doesn't match any of the profiles
in the database.
However, the test does provide one piece of good news.
It was now proof positive that I was
never a suspect in this case.
But I don't think that you can ever
clear that line of suspicion until there's an actual suspect
that's arrested.
I just wished that they would catch
whoever killed Lindy.
But as each week and then each month
and then each year evolves, time marches on.
The case had been cold for over 40 years
when our office got involved.
But when we did our review, we felt
with the new technology in DNA,
maybe we should retest some things.
In September 2019, detectives send
a sample of the killer's DNA
to a pioneering genetics company
known as Parabon NanoLabs.
I'm CeCe Moore, and I'm the chief genetic genealogist
at Parabon NanoLabs.
Genetic genealogy is using documentary records
like census records, vital records,
in conjunction with DNA analysis.
When Parabon received the results from the profile
on Lindy Sue Biechler's case, they were able
to predict that her killer likely had
brown to black hair, fair skin,
and green to hazel eyes.
We were also able to predict his ancestry
by making a family tree.
Using two public databases,
I looked at the distant cousins
of Lindy Sue's killer
that we had identified in the databases.
I could see that they were all converging
in a region in South Italy.
And there was one town that kept jumping out at me
called Gasperina.
So the first thing I did was to look
at the records of immigration
directly from Gasperina to Lancaster,
and I started making a list.
That took me down to a little under 2,300 people.
When you consider that some of those people
are going to be too young or too old to have committed
the crime, about half of those people are female,
and I'm looking for a male, suddenly I had
a relatively small list, a couple dozen or so.
Then when I was going through newspapers,
I found something extremely interesting.
There was a newspaper article that announced
the engagement and upcoming marriage
of one of the men on my list.
The address for the groom was the exact same address
as the scene of the crime.
That just shocked me.
The man that CeCe Moore identifies
lived one floor above Lindy in the same apartment building.
It was almost too coincidental
to be a coincidence.
September 2019, 44 years after the murder
of Lindy Sue Biechler,
a genetics lab has honed in on a suspect,
a man who lived in the very same apartment complex
as Lindy Sue.
So right away, I got very excited
thinking that this could potentially be
the man that law enforcement had been
looking for for decades.
And his name was David Sinopoli.
I went to social media, and I found pictures of him.
And I just couldn't believe it when I saw
that he fit perfectly
with the snapshot phenotype predictions.
My instincts told me I was looking in the face
of Lindy Sue Biechler's killer.
When CeCe Moore called, I got excited.
But I can't get too excited,
because we had to confirm things.
So we collect as much factual information
as we can about him, his family,
whereabouts, employment, everything we can find.
We found out he was a long-term
Lancaster County resident.
In fact, Lindy Sue and David Sinopoli went
to the same middle school.
And also, when Philip and Lindy Sue moved
into that apartment complex, Sinopoli and his wife
also lived there, although he did not live there
at the time the homicide occurred.
He was married during the time of the homicide,
but he divorced from that wife.
He had three children.
He was still married to his second wife
living in East Hempfield Township.
He worked at a couple printing companies,
one for quite a long time.
While Sinopoli, by all indications,
mostly led a lawful life, in 2003,
he was caught in, of all places, his wife's
tanning salon, peering at a naked woman
on the tanning bed,
and he was actually arrested for that.
In 2004, he ended up pleading guilty
to invasion of privacy and disorderly conduct.
And he got one-year probation.
Other than that, Sinopoli's record was clean.
Police, of course, questioned his first wife
extensively about her 13 years married to David Sinopoli.
She said that he was never violent with her.
They simply grew apart.
Their divorce was amicable.
David Sinopoli fit the age.
He fit the peeping Tom.
He fit the phenotype.
He kind of fit everything.
Of course, we can't arrest him,
so we start surveilling him.
We were watching his movements
hoping that we could collect a surreptitious sample
of his DNA.
If someone is a suspect in a case,
it is standard operating procedure
to obtain a DNA sample without their knowledge.
It's not done every time.
But they do have to get a confirmatory sample
before arrest.
No arrest is ever made on genealogy alone.
Unfortunately, this happened during the height of COVID.
Everything was locked down, so you couldn't go anywhere.
You couldn't do anything.
And there was no promising leads
through trash collections either.
So those efforts were fruitless.
Another year passes.
Detectives are still trying to get
a sample of their suspect's DNA
when a call comes in from the FBI.
Tip came in that Sinopoli and his wife
were flying out of the Philadelphia International
Airport on a vacation.
We decided to go down there
and hopefully retrieve something
if they were to leave something behind
before taking off in the plane.
We get there, and we start walking through the airport.
I went to get a coffee,
and David Sinopoli and his wife
was sitting at a table in a coffee shop,
the one I happened to step into.
He had no coffee cup.
His wife had one.
But there was a bag sitting between David and his wife.
A minute later, they finish.
David picks up his wife's cup, puts her cup in the bag,
folds it neat, like your mom would fold your lunch bag,
walks it over, and puts it in the trash receptacle
not even 5 feet from me.
That's eligible to be collected
because it's been considered abandoned.
It's thrown in the trash.
He leaves. I grab it.
There's two cups in it, the one on the top,
which I knew was his wife's cup,
and the one underneath had to be his cup.
I will say that I was flying high.
I was excited.
I was, like, really excited.
If we're able to say scientifically
that that DNA matches that DNA profile,
then we got our man.
More than 46 years after the murder
of Lindy Sue Biechler,
the crime lab compares the DNA sample
of the suspect, David Sinopoli,
to the profile of the killer.
I had no doubt that he was the killer
from all the evidence we had.
I knew he was the person.
But you know that's always an anxious time,
a time where it's hard to wait.
Learning that investigators were still working on this,
I felt very comforted.
I mean, these people really care
about what happened to her.
Eventually, those DNA results came back.
It was a match, no question.
So excellent news.
We were all ecstatic.
I mean, it was the glorious day.
We knew at that point, we've got our guy.
Police gear up for an arrest
that's nearly five decades in the making.
My name is Trish Mazur.
I work at Manor Township Police Department.
When I learned we had developed a suspect,
I, of course, was very excited.
It was huge.
Now it was time for the investigators
to do our part.
We were able to determine that he gets
a Sunday newspaper delivered to his house.
And there was always a certain time
in the morning he would have to walk away from the house
down the driveway.
So we felt that that was the best way
to effect the arrest.
And that's what we did.
Officers approached him, told him he was under arrest.
He was immediately handcuffed.
And myself and another Manor Township Police Officer
took custody of him.
I think probably top three, four things
that happened in my career was being able
to tell Phil Biechler that we made the arrest.
Excuse me.
Larry and I worked with Phil
since the beginning.
Great feeling. That's all I can say.
Detective Christopher Erb told me
that we have just arrested a man in Lindy Sue's case.
And I was, like, in shock.
They said his name was David Sinopoli,
and he lived right above us.
I didn't really know who he was.
But I knew I passed him, probably in the hallway.
My brother called me,
and he said, are you sitting down?
And he's like, they have the guy.
Honestly, you wait for so long,
and then it's actually happening,
and it seems surreal.
A cold case dating back nearly a half century
appears to have been cracked this week.
Sinopoli is being held without bail.
Investigators say the DNA match is 1 in 10 trillion.
David Sinopoli had been married to the same woman
for 36 years.
He had children. He had grandchildren.
He was beloved by his coworkers and his boss.
People were absolutely surprised to their core
that he turned out to have done something
so horrific in his past.
When I heard that he was arrested,
there was relief,
tears of joy and sadness, you know.
And then you found out that he was married,
that he had children of his own.
And you think,
how could you have lived with yourself?
In October of 2023, David Sinopoli
enters a guilty plea for third-degree murder,
aggravated assault, and burglary
and is sentenced to 25 to 50 years in prison.
Sinopoli went to prison without talking to anyone,
so we never will actually know
what exactly happened that night.
But putting everything together, I would say,
this person has an active fantasy life.
And when he was living above Lindy and her husband,
he must have seen this attractive younger woman
living below him, walking in and out to her car.
Maybe he would follow her once or twice to her flower shop,
sit outside in a parking lot, watch her go in and out,
maybe get to know her husband's schedule.
He's developing his active fantasy,
and he's building up to getting the gumption,
getting the courage to confront her.
That night, he came to the door
not necessarily planning to kill her,
because he only brought a small penknife with him.
But he didn't get very far inside before, essentially,
his fantasy was turned away.
That's when he lost control
and wound up stabbing her 19 times.
I've always wanted to know the why,
but he's never told me and probably never will.
He sent me an apology letter that had one sentence in it
that said, "I'm very, very sorry."
That was it.
So to me, David Sinopoli is only sad
because he got caught.
We have to start letting it go.
If you hold it in and keep it there,
when you think about Lindy, that's the only thing
you think about.
You lose her.
Let's remember how she lived.
Let's just remember how wonderful she was,
what a sweet person she was, and taken away too soon.
Lindy taught me how to love for the first time in my life.
I got remarried in '91.
I have a lovely daughter and-- who is married to a great guy.
And I have two lovely grandchildren that I adore.
I was sad that most of the people
that were around Lindy have all passed away--
her father, her mother.
But I was glad that there was a closure for the people
that are still alive.
I think Lindy should be remembered
as a competent, compassionate, intelligent woman.
