fellow—gullible,
actually.
The
police could have led him into
saying anything if they pushed hard
enough. He was a teddy bear, and
he was a person under great duress,
an emotional wreck who found his
fiancée, the woman he planned to
marry, dead. The brain does not
think
straight
under
such
circumstances.
Sam had slept only a couple of
hours before he woke and found
Mary Beth’s body. I can’t believe
when he got to the hotel he jumped
into bed and got a blissful eight
hours of sleep. By the time he was
interviewed for the second time on
Saturday evening, he had been up
for
almost
forty-eight
hours.
Seriously
exhausted
and
emotionally
devastated,
an
easygoing, guileless personality is a
sitting duck for manipulation by
clever, seasoned detectives. He just
might make a confession that he
didn’t really mean. He was so
confused that he didn’t know what
he was saying anymore. He had no
family present, no attorney to guide
him. He wasn’t a fast-talking con
man, so he answered their questions
as honestly as he could and he
eventually gave the police what they
wanted. Like many a person who
has
confessed
after
lengthy
interrogation, he just wanted the
questions to stop, he wanted to not
talk about the horrible incident
anymore, he just wanted to lie
down. He simply reached a point
where he was too tired to care
anymore.
I was not convinced that Sam had
the personality to kill. He had no
violent background and no motive
—there was no life insurance from
which he or even Mary Beth’s son
could have gained, for example.
There was not any great equity in
the condo that she owned alone, and
her death left Art responsible for an
$86,000 mortgage. Mary Beth’s son
said that Sam and his mother got
along fabulously. There was nothing
there, no reason for him to kill his
fiancée.
I could not envision such a docile
man becoming so angry that he
smacked his fiancée. I found it even
harder to believe he would have
strangled her. Then, for him to be so
unbelievably clever and calm that
he could place her body in the
closet, remove items to stage a
burglary, drive the car to a black
area of town to throw the blame on
someone else, destroy the clutch so
it would look like the car had been
driven by someone unable to use a
stick…no, no, not this man.
Sam Bilodeau did not have a
motive or the personality or the
opportunity to commit this crime.
IN MY INVESTIGATION , I put Sam
aside and looked at the crime itself.
The first thing that struck me was
that the Townsend condominium
was out of the way. It wasn’t a
location a criminal would pick
purely by accident. It wasn’t an
isolated house that would catch
one’s eye, it wasn’t an easily
accessible end unit, it wasn’t even a
condo on the first floor. The killer
wouldn’t be someone who just
happened upon Mary Beth’s condo
and thought, Oh, I think I’ll just
slide over to that door and try the
handle. What we know happened at
the crime scene was that there was
a burglary; someone came into her
apartment and took things that
belonged to Mary Beth. He took her
jewelry, he took rolled quarters that
were set aside for future laundry
use, and he took her vehicle.
The police said she was not
raped, but neither Art nor I saw the
autopsy report, so there was no way
to know if that was true or not.
When Sam found her in the closet,
Mary Beth was not entirely dressed.
It appeared she might
