From the article:
Reached by phone at the barber shop, Maria Esquivel said she gave Long a trim and that the two made small talk. He was in a pleasant mood and dressed nicely in jeans and a striped shirt, she recalled.
He told Esquivel he had just finished yardwork and was planning to head home and clean up. “He said he had to go home and shave because his wife told him to,” Esquivel said.
As she was cutting his hair, their conversation turned to his romantic life. He told her he had been married four times.
He said that “one died, one left him and the other one, he left her. And he’s with the fourth one now,” she said.
As he was walking toward the door to leave, Esquivel said, he sang to her: “Maria, Maria, your name is Maria. A beautiful name to make a song.”
Just after he got outside, Esquivel saw the police close in. Upon being told that he was charged with murder, she said: “Wow! The way they got him, I thought it was something serious.”
Aw, c’mon! It was so long ago and he never did it again. /s
Too bad he never made some good movies, eh?
