I'm sorry, I don't know if the woman Rita spoke with is named Wendy Nichols or not. The woman herself did not appear with Rita. And the woman has reported what she claims to know to the authorities in Boulder. If she's making it up, she'll most likely pay for it one way or another. It's a crime to knowingly lie to an official investigation.
If it bothered her so much over the years why didn't she report it earlier.....sheeeeeeeesh!
