else.
    Larry tried to look amazed. “No way,” he said as earnestly as he could. “She’s not that kind of person.”
    Soon afterward, Gailiunas began zeroing in on the identity of Rozanne’s mystery lover. During one of his infrequent visits to the job site, Gailiunas cornered Larry and told him that he was sure that Rozanne had a boyfriend. “And I have a suspicion about who it is,” he added ominously, staring at Larry.
    Larry looked him in the eye. “Why are you telling me?” he asked.
    “I just wanted you to know,” Gailiunas said, turning on his heel.
    What may have helped Gailiunas reach that conclusion was the fact that he had hired a private investigator and ordered him to follow his estranged wife to see if she was having an affair and if so, with whom.
    The man followed Rozanne diligently and reported to Gailiunas that her secret paramour was Larry Aylor. When he heard the news, Gailiunas nodded in grim satisfaction. According to the investigator, Gailiunas ordered the private detective to continue shadowing Rozanne, keeping close enough to her that she would know she was being watched.
    The man refused. “I didn’t want to frighten her like that,” he said later under oath. “I quit.” When asked about it, Gailiunas denied asking the investigator to let Rozanne become aware of his presence.
    But from what Larry later said, Gailiunas himself had no qualms about putting pressure on his wife. In fact, a court issued a restraining order prohibiting Gailiunas from confronting or harassing Rozanne.
    One day about the middle of the summer, several weeks after Rozanne had moved to Richardson, Rozanne told Larry that she and her estranged husband had a major confrontation—an incident that Gailiunas later denied ever occurred. According to Rozanne, she had gone to his house the night before to pick up Little Peter. But before she could get out the door again, she and Gailiunas got into an argument about her taking the boy home with her.
    She grabbed Little Peter by the arm and was leading him outside when Gailiunas grabbed the boy’s other arm. Each refused to let go. When she furiously demanded that he release the boy, the doctor ran into another room and returned with a shotgun. “If you try to take my son away I’ll shoot you,” he allegedly said.
    Another time, she related, describing an alleged incident also denied by Gailiunas, she went to pick up Little Peter and walked into the den, where she found Gailiunas sitting on the sofa in semidarkness. He had a paper plate on the coffee table in front of him containing a sandwich and a handful of potato chips. A soft drink stood next to the plate. Gailiunas had his sleeves rolled up, she said, and he was hunched over the table although he was not eating the food.
    When she came in, she told Larry, Gailiunas reached for something else at the end of the table and produced a syringe. Allegedly telling her it was filled with a deadly drug, he motioned toward his bare arm, saying that if she did not come back to him he was going to inject the chemical into his veins.
    Rozanne remained unmoved by the display. Nodding toward the plate of food, she asked him: “Did you fix the sandwich for me so I would have something to eat while I watched?”
    Still one other time, Gailiunas taped a telephone call between Larry and Rozanne in which both made a number of disparaging remarks about their respective spouses. Gailiunas then took the tape to Joy, suggesting it might be something she would be interested in hearing.
    According to Larry, Joy was indeed intrigued. Although their marriage was falling apart, Joy had not adjusted to the idea of divorce any better than Gailiunas had. That summer, Larry told his friends, he began getting harassing telephone calls at his apartment. He believed they came from Joy. Joy’s friends, however, claim that the actual situation was quite different. It was after Larry moved out, one of them said, that Joy began getting annoying
