The police didn't find a trace of ether on her bed or on her 492 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,320 pillow. It would explain why the food wasn't eaten. 493 00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:19,380 They didn't find any ether in the dining room either. 494 00:30:19,740 --> 00:30:21,380 You're losing your mind, Pierre. 495 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,280 Wasting all this time talking about how she was killed, where she was drugged, 496 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,060 why she didn't eat. It doesn't matter. 497 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:30,900 What matters is who. 498 00:30:31,660 --> 00:30:32,920 And we know who. 499 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,400 Okay, come on.

If he dragged his wife from the bedroom to the bathroom across the 619 00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:14,200 thick carpet, shouldn't there be rug marks where her feet dragged? No. 620 00:37:14,490 --> 00:37:18,370 Now, come on, wait. Isn't it possible that Travis Boulding put a gun to his 621 00:37:18,370 --> 00:37:20,530 wife's head and forced her into the bathroom? 622 00:37:20,770 --> 00:37:23,830 The maid said Mrs. Boulding couldn't walk without her cane. 623 00:37:24,210 --> 00:37:25,210 Where's her cane? 624 00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:30,670 Next to her bed. 625 00:37:33,830 --> 00:37:35,050 All right, he carried her. 626 00:37:35,830 --> 00:37:40,950 Larry, would you be willing to be part of a...
