Rothstein, 59, was an unmarried jack of all trades and a deep rooted occupant of the space. He talked carefully, similar to somebody who invests wholeheartedly in his authority of the English language. (He was likewise familiar with French and Hebrew.) Rothstein appeared to be unaware of the examination unfurling past his patio. The writers, anxious to get a perspective on the scene, inquired as to whether he could lead them through his yard. He concurred. They headed into the thick brush yet couldn't see a lot. In the wake of going through around 15 minutes at Rothstein's place, they took off.

Bill Rothstein might have seemed, by all accounts, to be only a man who claimed a house close to a television tower. In any case, he ended up being concealing a dim mystery. On September 20, not exactly a month after the bomb killed Wells, Rothstein called 911. "At 8645 Peach Road, in the carport, there is a frozen body," he told the police dispatcher, alluding to his own location. "It's in the cooler."

Promptly after settling on the decision, Rothstein was in care. He told the cops that he had been in desolation for quite a long time. He had thought about committing suicide, he advised them, and had ventured to such an extreme as to compose a self destruction note, which examiners found inside a work area at his home. Writing in dark marker, Rothstein communicated his statements of regret "to the individuals who really focused on or about me," recognized the body in his cooler as that of Jim Roden, and noticed that he "didn't kill him, nor partake in his passing." The note opened with an inquisitive disclaimer: "This steers clear of the Wells case."

Over the course of the following two days, Rothstein disclosed to police how a dead man came to be in his cooler. In mid-August, he said, he'd got a call from an ex, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, whom he had dated during the 1960s and mid 1970s. Diehl-Armstrong revealed to him she had shot her live-in sweetheart, James Roden, in the back with a Remington 12-measure shotgun, in an argument about cash. Presently she required assistance eliminating the body and tidying up the scene inside her Erie home, around 10 miles from Rothstein's place. Rothstein did what she inquired. He kept the carcass in a chest cooler in his carport for five weeks. He carefully liquefied down the homicide weapon and spread the pieces around Erie District. Be that as it may, Rothstein said, he was unable to proceed with the arrangement to crush the body, and he called 911 in light of the fact that he feared how Diehl-Armstrong may deal with him.

On September 21—the day after Rothstein called 911—Diehl-Armstrong was captured for the homicide of Roden. After sixteen months, in January 2005, she confessed however insane and was condemned to seven to 20 years in state jail. Yet, at that point, Rothstein was past thinking often about the former sweetheart he'd offered up to the cops: He had passed on of lymphoma in July 2004.
