Mindy Thornton : Just watch the movie, guys, and I'll be right out here. Let me know if you need anything. Sorry. Sonny asked me to keep the kids here until the press dies down. They don't like letting me out of their sight.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : We understand.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Can you tell us about Esme and Sonny?
Mindy Thornton : Their marriage had its ups and downs. More downs than ups, especially after Sonny retired.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : That's right when your sister's career really kicked off. Was Sonny ever jealous?
Mindy Thornton : I don't know. He'd gone inward the last few years, spending less time at home, more nights in the city. Esme said when she'd pressed him about it, he lashed out.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Physically?
Mindy Thornton : He never hit her, but he developed a temper.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Developed. So this was new?
Mindy Thornton : They have this saying in pro ball, "Every athlete dies twice. "Once when he takes his last breath, and once when he retires."
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : So was Esme hopeful their marriage would improve when he returned to basketball?
Mindy Thornton : It already did. The day he started training for his comeback last summer? Esme christened it their new anniversary date.
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : So Sonny was a new man?
Mindy Thornton : Completely. Every day was a new bouquet of roses or piece of jewelry. Esme didn't wear any of it, of course, but still...
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : [confused] What do you mean?
Mindy Thornton : She stopped wearing jewelry years ago.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Even her wedding ring?
Mindy Thornton : Especially that. Kim Kardashian was a friend. Her Paris robbery gave Esme a wake-up call. She started keeping all her jewelry in her bedroom safe.

Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Hana just spoke with Becca. She confirmed that Esme was not wearing her wedding ring the night of her birthday.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Then how did Doug steal the wedding ring off her finger a few hours later?
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Someone put it there for him to find.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Just because Sonny has access to the safe doesn't mean he killed Esme.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : When we spoke, Sonny said Esme wore her ring every day. Why would he lie about that? Why force us to track down a ring that he knew Esme never wore?
Special Agent Kristin Gaines : Maybe he was framing Doug.
Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Okay, so he kills her, calls Doug to clean the scene making it look like a robbery. Tells him to take the ring as payment knowing that he'd pawn it and we would track it down. Is that what you're saying?
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : I reviewed the security footage myself. Sonny didn't leave the hotel after 11:28 that night.
