Name: Leif Gunnarson
Relation: Peg’s boyfriend
Date: July 29, 1991
Interviewer: Peter
Location: Milwaukee County Jail
Leif: Where’s Peg?
Peter: I’m asking the questions. When was the last time you saw Dee?
Leif: July Fourth.
Peter: What did you do on the Fourth?
Leif: Dee called Peg crying the day before because Frank was cheating on her. So Peg invited her to spend the Fourth with us. I worked third shift that night, as usual, but we stayed up and celebrated the Fourth together.
Peter: Celebrated how?
[Pause]
Leif: Sparklers and apple pie and shit. You know.
Peter: Why did Dee leave?
Leif: She walked in on Peg and me having sex. They got into a fight. Dee left.
Peter: Did she say where she was going?
Leif: No.
Peter: Look, cut the crap, Leif. I know you guys dropped acid. Did Dee do it too?
Leif: I don’t know. I think so.
Peter: You think so.
Leif: I was tripping.
Peter: What about your brother?
Leif: What about him?
Peter: Peg says he’s missing?
Leif: Seems that way.
Peter: And? Dee too? Doesn’t that seem odd to you? Were they spending a lot of time together?
Leif: Look. The shit Erik’s going through . . . It’s got nothing to do with Dee.
Peter: Why do you say that?
Leif: Erik’s . . . a troubled kid, okay? Dee’s got none of those kind of problems.
Peter: Where is he?
Leif: Like I said, I don’t know. I wish I did. But I’m telling you. This is normal behavior for him. He runs away. Disappears all the time. He always shows up again.
Peter: When he does, you let him know we need to talk to him.
Leif: Sure. He doesn’t know anything about this stuff with Dee, though. I guarantee you.
Peter: Who, in your best estimation, might know?
Leif: I’d be knocking down Frank’s door if I were you guys. I met the guy, and he is a real piece of work.
Peter: We can’t find him either.
Leif: Jesus, everybody’s got the idea to disappear except me, I guess.
