Perper was overwrought with KE’s beauty. Then like in NCIS, a Mark Harmon “wanna be” smacked him on the side of the head....and you know the rest!! :-)
at the time, the focus was not on a ‘suspicious’ death, but an accidental death. Moe and Taz clouded the issue by not telling the whole truth to begin with.
Perper didn’t believe the suicidal story - we know it was talked about because he debunked the subject at length in his report, pretty much listing out things he had been told (by KE or HKS or both) and reasons he wasn’t buying it.
curiouser to me, was LB’s testimony that Anna was on ‘suicide watch’ when he claims she was supposedly being ‘detoxed’
