“When I went by the house, I ran into the neighbor. Diane Olsen. Ring any bells?”

Buddy shook his head.

“She’s lived next door most of her life. She was fifteen then. I asked her about it and showed her the picture of Beverly, and she clammed up and walked away.”

“Well,” he said. “I don’t know. Must’ve been a scary thing for a kid.”

His discomfort was evident. Talking to cops about their unsolved cases is always fraught. In theory, everyone recognizes the value of a fresh pair of eyes. Harder to accept that it’s your eyes that have staled.

A detective once charged me in a drunken fit. I’ve learned to tread lightly.

I asked Buddy if anyone had claimed responsibility for the fire.

“No. They didn’t, always. The Golden Gate bombing, for instance—nobody came out and said ‘We did it,’ but we knew who we wanted.”

“Was that your understanding here? A political gesture?”

“Ingles thought so. That’s why he had us jump on it and grab the files. He didn’t want anything getting out to the public. He was terrified of leaks.”

Days after Golden Gate, the San Francisco field office had received a tip that several of the Weathermen were hiding out on a boat up in Sausalito.

“Turns out someone’d tipped them off, too. Our guys got there prolly ten minutes too late. They found a cup of tea on the counter, hot, with the bag in it. When Hoover heard about that, he went bananas. He telexed the SAC, reaming him out.”

“And shit rolls downhill.”

“Law of nature.”

“At the risk of being rude,” I said, “if the boss was afraid of leaks, first place I’d look would be your office.”
