His Secret
Even though Bobby wanted his wife to know about his past — he said that he “just couldn’t risk it.” He felt his previous life was already in the rear-view mirror but he said Cheryl was a “righteous woman” and would probably encourage him to surrender to the police.
Strongly Mistaken
He still kept in touch with a few family members in North Carolina, though, and he asked his sister to tell Cheryl his secret only after he passes away. However, his sister persisted and told him to come clean.
