They had a good relationship at first when Brian was like 18, 17, 16.

You know, he lived with us.
41:10
Brian lived with us for a while.
41:13
And he was very unsocial.
41:18
Or whatever you want to call it.

Antisocial.

How do you want people to remember her? Think of Lynette.
36:15
What kind of relationship did they have in general, Big George and
36:19
Brian? They had a good relationship at first when Brian was like 18, 17, 16.
36:28
You know, he lived with us.
36:30
Brian lived with us for a while.
36:33
And he was very unsocial or whatever you want to call it.
36:39
Antisocial.
36:40
Yeah, antisocial.

How do you want people to remember her? Think of Lynette.
30:01
When you learned that Lynette was missing and Brian had said this sort of preposterous story that very early on did not add up, what was the first thing you thought?
30:14
when he was talking about the dinghy and Lynette.
30:19
Okay.
30:20
Yeah, I knew that was not true the very first thing I heard it.
30:25
I knew it.
30:26
I mean, people probably thought, oh, well, poor Lynette.
30:29
Why didn't he go in and get her? Well, he didn't because it never happened.

12 MINS LATER

42:07
What do you think happened?
51:50
Can you kind of just describe his personality over the years? I mean, is there a general way to explain who he is, his temperament? Like when you would see him, was he the kind of guy to give you a hug and a kiss? What was his personality like? What is his personality
52:08
like? Yeah, back then in the 80s, yeah.
52:13
When he lived with us, he had his own room and everything, and he would stay in his room all the time.
52:19
He wouldn't come out very much except to eat.
52:23
He would read.
52:25
He read book after book.
52:28
He loved to read.

11 MINS LATER

63:34
Do you think, I know this is just speculation, but do you think that he murdered her on that boat and then disposed of the body? What do you think happened?
58:30
Um, but was she unhappy in this marriage from the, from the get-go?
58:35
Probably not from the get-go, uh, when they first got married 'cause he, you know, they met at work.
58:42
Um, so, but as it progressed and he became, you know, he was just too overbearing.
58:58
She couldn't handle it, you know? She just, she, his temper and everything.
59:03
And then, um, when he got physical with her, that really probably, you know, that, that would do it for me too.
59:11
But being physical with a woman is not right.
59:16
Um, anyway, my, my theory on her wanting to leave, which she has left before, but c- went back.
64:02
... disposed of the body? What do you think happened?
