sheriff said right off, i was under suspicion. i didn't have a lawyer.
yes. initially.
i should have told everything right away. i know that now, and i regret it.
i have told the truth.
i slept til one-thirty, when my wife woke me up with the news. we talked for a few hours. i left at six and went straight to my boat.
yes.
i had a spare battery in my shed. i brought it down, and put it in just before the sheriff showed up.

no, her first love was another fella.
i was the lucky one.
