Larry tried to call her at three, but got no answer. He tried again fifteen minutes later, and again he received no response. At about four-thirty, he called his sister Karen and asked her if she had heard from Rozanne. When she said that she had not, Larry said he was going to go looking for her. “Maybe she’s had more car trouble,” he said, recalling the flat tire earlier in the day. “I’ll go with you,” Karen volunteered. Larry drove to his parents’ house and picked up Karen and the two of them decided to retrace Rozanne’s usual routes to see if perhaps she was stuck on the side of the road.
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.
Propping his elbows on his knees and his head between his hands, he looked as though he might break into tears at any moment. “I want you to quit seeing my wife,” Gailiunas pleaded with him while his mother sat rigidly at his side. “I’m not seeing her,” Larry said. Then, he told the doctor in an unsympathetic tone that he was going to have to work out his problems with Rozanne on his own. ” Gailiunas and his mother left peacefully. The affair between Larry and Rozanne continued throughout the summer and into a suffocatingly hot fall, interrupted only briefly by flareups the lovers had with their respective spouses.
