“Nah,” said Caravanza, “just from church. What happened?”
“That’s what we’re trying to figure out. Did you have contact with her aftershe moved to L.A.?”
“We were divorced, but we were getting along, you know? Like they say,amicable. She called me a coupla times, maybe the first month. Then itstopped.”
“No more loneliness.”
“I figured she hooked up with someone.”
“She say that?”
“Nah, but I know—knew Tori. When she had that voice it meant she was excitedabout something. And it sure wasn’t her acting career, she wasn’t getting shit.That she told me.”
“No idea who she was seeing?”
“You think he did it to her?”
“Any lead would be helpful.”
“Well,” said Michael Caravanza, “if she did what she said she was gonna do,she hooked up with some star. That was the plan. Go to Hollywood, the right clubs, whatever, meetsome star and show him she could be a star, too.”
“Ambitious.”
“Ambitious is what split us up. I’m a working guy, Tori thought her shitwas—she thought she was gonna be Angelina Jolie or something—what’s that—holdon, babe, just a sec—sorry, Sandy’smy fiancée.”
“Congratulations,” I said.
“Yeah, I’m gonna try the marriage thing again. Sandy’s nice and she wants kids. No bigchurch deal, this time, we’re just gonna do it with some judge then go off to Aruba or something.”
“Sounds nice.”
“Hope so. Don’t get me wrong, Tori was a nice girl. She just thought shecould be someone else.”
“The few times she did call,” I said, “did she say anything that could helpus?”
“Let me think,” said Caravanza. “It was only three times, four,whatever…what did she say…mostly she said she was lonely. That was basicallyit, lonely. In some shitty little apartment. She didn’t miss me or want to getback together, nothing like that. She just wanted to tell me she was feelingshitty.”
