The Unsettling Story of Jean and Verna

Patti Laitel told detectives that Jean had confided in her and Verna that Fred was threatening her. She said, if he ever caught her cheating, he'd kill her. There was one particularly bad night in the hot tub at Calpine that everyone remembers. It was the sex-tat, the railers, the fairfields, the Valthoans. Naked of course. This was an ongoing thing. We were in the middle of nowhere and it was just something that I had and something happened."
