Cheryl Kline is the Fines’ downstairs neighbor at the Oxford Ridge Apartments.<\/p>\n
Detectives Armstrong and Murphy interviewed her at her apartment.<\/p>\n
Participants:<\/em><\/p>\n Detective Armstrong<\/em>: Thanks for allowing us to have some of your time.<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Is this going to take long? I have things I have to do.<\/p>\n Detective Armstrong<\/em>: We’ll take as little time as possible.<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Hey, I agreed to an interview, but I ain’t making no court appearances.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: We’ll worry about that later. Besides, no one mentioned court. Please state your name and address for the record.<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Yeah, my name is Cheryl Kline, and I live at 594 Hathorn Road here in Oxford.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: We noticed you live below the Fines. That’s why we’re here. We need some information concerning Mr. Fine. Do you know him?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Unfortunately, I do. Constant noise when he’s there. What a loser! It’s either the stereo or his big mouth. Always yelling.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: Is that right? What’s it like when he isn’t around?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: It’s quiet. Cindy minds her own business. I hardly ever see her. Kinda shy, I think. The last time I saw her, she looked like she was in a battle, bruises and small cuts. Other than that, I don’t know too much else.<\/p>\n Detective Armstrong<\/em>: Are you on a first-name basis with Cindy?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Yeah, you could say that. I mean we aren’t like in the same social clubs or nothing.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: Do remember what were you doing late on the night of July 3rd, say around 1:30, 2:00 a.m.?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: I was sound asleep, like every night. Except when there’s something going on upstairs in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: Did you hear anything at all that night, particularly from upstairs at the Fines’ apartment?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: I heard someone coming in around 12:30 or so. After that, I went to bed.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: That was two weeks ago. Why do you remember the time so clearly?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: I’ll tell you why. Damn firecrackers!<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: I’m sorry? What do you mean?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Damn firecrackers! Fourth of July, every idiot in the city thinks they gotta set off firecrackers the whole damn weekend. I hate that shit! Pardon my French, but it just really bugs me.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: I understand. So that’s why you remember that night?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Yeah. I thought I’d never get to sleep that night. I had half an idea it was that Andy Fine out there lighting off firecrackers in the parking lot, but I wasn’t about to look out there and find out or tell him to stop. That man probably would’ve just thrown a lit firecracker at me or worse! When I heard them go in upstairs, I figured I’d finally be able to get some sleep.<\/p>\n Detective Armstrong<\/em>: You heard both of them go in or only one?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: I don’t know. One. Both. What difference does it make? Alls I know is, it got quiet then, and that’s all I cared about.<\/p>\n Detective Armstrong<\/em>: Did you hear anything after that? After 12:30 or so?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: I was asleep after that. I don’t remember hearing anything else.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: When was the last time you actually saw Andy Fine?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: I try not to see the guy if you know what I mean. He makes me sick just to look at him. He should be shot the way he treats his wife. Anyway, it was a while ago. Cindy and him were going someplace. They were more dressed up than usual. I don’t talk to Cindy when he’s around. He gets real P.O.-ed, and I don’t want to make things worse for her.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: When you say it was a while ago, what do you mean?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: I don’t know. A couple weeks, maybe? A month? I don’t really remember.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: Anything strike you as odd or out of the ordinary that last time you saw him going out with his wife?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: I guess I was surprised he was taking her with him, wherever he was going. He didn’t do that much. But other than that, no. Nothing strange.<\/p>\n Detective Armstrong<\/em>: Do you happen to remember the next time you saw Cindy after that?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Seems like I saw Cindy coming home by herself that Saturday afternoon after the 4th. I think it was that Saturday. She was coming in while I was heading toward the pool.<\/p>\n Detective Armstrong<\/em>: Did you notice anything unusual about her or her appearance at that time?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Unusual for Cindy or unusual for other people?<\/p>\n Detective Armstrong<\/em>: What do you mean?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Well, it looked like Andy had knocked her around again, but that wasn’t unusual for Cindy. Regular people don’t have black eyes as often as not, but Cindy does. Or did. I guess that won’t exactly be happening anymore now, huh?<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: Anything else you want to add?<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: No, that’s about all I can say.<\/p>\n Detective Murphy<\/em>: If you think if anything else, please let us know. Here are our cards with our numbers. Call us if anything comes to mind.<\/p>\n Cheryl Kline<\/em>: Anything to help poor Cindy out.<\/p>\n Interview ended \u2013 3:33 p.m.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The detectives spoke to the Fines’ downstairs neighbor at the Oxford Ridge apartments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[397],"tags":[487,527,482],"class_list":["post-1743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hand-case-files","tag-day-4","tag-helping-hand","tag-interview"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
