Marlene loved the children and me. She is a good wife and mother.” “They wouldn’t tell me about everything they have against her. My friend at the PD said a Mrs. Lincoln confided in her friend that Marlene was having an affair with a man named Frank. At least three or four times a week they met a local hotel for the afternoon.
