Sept. 1994:  About one month after Susan’s disappearance.  In Jim’s family room, William Ramsey, the lead detective investigating the case, is questioning Jim):

 

Ramsey:  So, Susan is down at the bottom of the stairs, screaming at you, and you just go to bed and fall asleep?

 

Jim:  Yes, that’s right.

 

Ramsey:  And when do you wake up again?

 

Jim:  About eight.

 

Ramsey:  Not four a.m.?

 

Jim:  Four?

 

Ramsey:  A C&P lineman heard a car door slam on your property about then, heard a car start and drive off down Timonium road, away from I-83.

 

Jim:  How did they hear that?

 

Ramsey:  the lineman was up on a utility pole.

 

Jim:  Must have been someone turning around in my driveway.  People turn around there all the time.
