The phone rang about 9 o'clock at night, and the cousin of one of my cousins lived around the corner from here, and she said, Amy, I hate to be an alarmist, but I think your house is on fire. I was in a women's organization, and it was a luncheon, and I believe it was at the Phoenix Country Club.

I was barely functioning the next day. And I remember I had such a horrible headache. I took two codeine. I just remembered a sense of chaos. Law enforcement thought that likely he would return to our place.
