Vicky D’Adly had lunch with Kathryn Lawless and Elizabeth at 1:30pm. Dr. Chelsea Barren invited herself to join the lunch festivities. Vicky could sense that her sister, Elizabeth, was uncomfortable. Elizabeth admitted to Vicky that she hates Dr. Barren.
During lunch, Vicky took a peek through Dr. Barren’s notebook and noticed her notes regarding Robert Killingsworth’s murder. Dr. Barren seems to think that Robert was killed in his own home – a drop of blood was found on the carpet in front of his study computer, his files had been rifled through, and his phone was off of the hook. Elizabeth believes the bloodstain had been there for years. She could not explain the disarray of the phone or papers, however.
Vicky recognizes Michael Nightshade, she met him last year at Norman’s company holiday party. They must work at the same real estate brokerage firm. Vicky did not know that the company developed land, though – and certainly not in California.
Vicky lied to Elizabeth at breakfast. She told her that Norman was physically abusive, but the lies were just an attempt to gain Elizabeth’s sympathy. Vicky partially wanted to see how Elizabeth would react to the news, but also to see if she still had feelings for Norman. Elizabeth did seem surprised that Norman was abusive, but also told Vicky that she got what she deserved. Vicky wants to divorce Norman, but relies on him too much financially.
Vicki doesn’t want anyone to know, but they had to sell their home because of Norman’s debts. They are now living in the RV they arrived in.
Norman had a conversation with Elizabeth in the rose garden at 10:30 this morning, she told him that Vicki told her about the physical abuse. Norman was shocked, as he has never laid a finger on Vicki.
Norman received a phone call today at 1:00 PM from his boss. For the last couple of weeks, he has been on administrative leave for sexual harassing his office receptionist. While performing necessary checks for the upcoming lawsuit, his boss found evidence that Norman had been siphoning money from the company into his personal account. His boss called to inform him that he’s been fired.
Around 3:45 PM, Norman overheard a heated conversation between Elizabeth Killingsworth and Dr. Chelsea Barren. Elizabeth told Chelsea that she would rather deny any evidence in the murder of Robert Killingsworth than let Chelsea expose it in her book.
Norman D’Adly has seen Enrique multiple times today, each time he seemed to be looking underneath furniture, in drawers, etc. as if he had lost something.
