On the day she disappeared Duperly saw her sister driving a white Cadillac Eldorado with a red interior. It belonged to the older man that Gildawie’s was dating.
Duperly also spotted bruises on her younger sister.
“Bruises on her upper arms, her shoulders and the back of her legs,” Duperly reported.
“I said, ‘Well, why are you so black and blue?’
She said, ‘I fall a lot.’
I said, ‘No, you don’t.’
