He Admitted to Spying on Linda?! #truecrime #crimejunkie #unsolvedmysteries | Forensic Files

When they talked to Dr. W, Dr. W backs that story up. In fact, she tells investigators that Linda had brought
some of the recording equipment that she found in their house along with some cassette tapes to her office, and she
still has them to turn over to police. But, they don't even need to press play to confirm that Don was monitoring Linda
because when they confront Don about this in late May, he just straight-up admits it. What? Yeah, but I think in
his mind, like he's very nonchalant about it. He's just like, you know, marriage. And like he even brings
Officer Webb down to the basement and like shows him his setup. And at that time, he also walks Webb through some
items that he claims are missing from the house. The items I I assume he's like, "Oh, look, she took these with
her." But, the thing that Webb notices most is that most of Linda's belongings are still
there. And Don has already boxed some of it up. He then pulls out this short journal
that he's been keeping at Dr. W's suggestion, detailing everything he can remember about the days around Linda's
disappearance. And so, this is like when Webb presses a little bit. He tells Don like, "Listen,
Linda's family thinks that you did something to her. So, would you take a polygraph to prove them wrong?"
Don declines. He says that he had a bad experience with one during a burglary investigation. This is a charge that he
was later convicted of. Plus, he says that his lawyer told him not to. I didn't even know he had a lawyer. I
don't think investigators knew that either.
