I don't know, Bruce. In this small town the cops can arrive in as little as 5 minutes. I had a gut instinct that something was very wrong, but didn't follow it. Brenda said she screamed for help, but the walls here are not so thin that you can make out words through them. And I was trying not to be a busy body with my ear against the wall.
But I guess you're right. It doesn't help anything to blame myself at this late date.
