"There's a lot of things we'll never know," the prosecutor continues. "Sheila confided in very few people--mostly Roy and the pastor, Greeves. I think [Greeves] could have told us a lot more than she did, but she kept saying that it was a confidential pastor relationship: We probably got a sixteenth of what she knew."

And what does Patricia Greeves know? "I know that Sheila has forgiven Roy," the pastor says today. "I can't imagine Sheila not forgiving him. Sheila was that kind of a person. I can hear her brogue now, forgiving him. My faith says Sheila has the full picture of life now--the view she has is the view of God, and therefore I have no doubt that she has forgiven him. She would have compassion for his situation."
