A senior Louisville police officer knew about Alberta's movements with Gladys on the night of her murder — including that Gladys called her and that they went out to eat — before he had spoken to Gladys or anyone in Alberta's family.

Within a week of the murder, police set up roadblocks on the bridge and spoke to 222 motorists — and two of them, bakery workers Peter Baker and Robert Bostock, said they'd seen a white car and a marked Louisville police car stopped together at the center of the bridge at 4:35 AM, just after Alberta was estimated to have entered the river. No officer ever came forward to explain what they were doing there. Ashley's analysis is damning: if Alberta was already dead, the backseat was covered in blood — any officer who stopped that car would have known something was catastrophically wrong. The police-car sighting is compounded by another red flag: a senior Louisville police officer knew that Gladys had called Alberta and that they went out to eat together, all before he had spoken to Gladys or any family member.

A senior Louisville police officer knew that Gladys had called Alberta, that she came over, and that they went out to eat together — all before he had spoken to Gladys or any member of Alberta's family. Nobody in the investigation seemed to think that was as strange as it was.
