He was living in her house on Dec. 13 when Flinn's commander, Lieut. Colonel Theodore LaPlante, ordered her to have no further contact with Marc.

Relatives have learned for the first time of their loved one's infidelities from investigators inquiring about his or her sexual habits. In one such instance, reported in the Washington Post, the 78-year-old mother of Lieut. Colonel Karen Tew became fed up with their probing and finally told them "I didn't know and why didn't they just ask her."
