Beth’s foster cousin Greg Nicholas gave his first trooper interview on December 26th, the day after Beth was found. As was customary in these cases, they asked him to provide a chronology of December 22nd, the day Beth disappeared. He tried his best to remember every detail.<\/p>\n

It was a challenge: the interview took place at the Fly-By-Night garage, where troopers were also talking to Beth’s brothers. To make matters worse, Greg had been on a major drunk the night Beth disappeared. The troopers noticed something else: he\u00a0was clearly nervous while Sgt. Walter Gilmour was at the garage. Rollie Port<\/a> observed him quivering and crying; he got the impression that Beth’s foster cousin was hanging around the family in an attempt to appear normal. Of course, it was also true that Gilmour gave Greg the evil eye as he scanned the premises for a match to the wire found on Beth’s wrists. MORE>>><\/a><\/p>\n
