A few weeks ago, I started to convert some of my camcorder tapes to digital format. I got the camcorder in 1994 and had a lot of fun with it over the years. Pam, my ex would occasionally do a risqué posing session but those were on a "special tape" that she destroyed. (That's another story.) I was sorting through one of the tapes and I saw a segment taken on Monday, September 11, 2000 that I didn't remember taking. I wasn't sure but I converted the segment along with the rest of the tape. The clip was not particularly nasty but was shot through our family room window pretty obviously without her knowledge. It features Pam in a pink bikini getting ready to take dip in our pool. She at first seems annoyed at something going on in the neighbor's yard but puts on her goggles and eases into the water. Pretty innocent stuff by today's standards but if I didn't take the footage, who did?
Over the next few days I tried to remember doing the taping but couldn't. At first I thought, "Maybe I just don't remember those 4 minutes from 10 years ago."
I decided to do some checking. In 2000 I was working in a job that required a lot of travel, and being a financial record freak (I have electronic files from Managing your Money, MS money and Quicken that go back to 1983.) I went to the computer and found a record that I was at the airport that day and in Kansas City the following three days. There are no times in the transaction records so I scratched my head and wondered, "Did I fly to K.C. early in the day or late that evening?"
Then I noticed an item in the data base for a dinner on Sunday at a fancy restaurant. Things were coming into focus now. That weekend we had a visit from Pam's old friend who was in the USA. He was living in Europe and was here working at various places in the States for a few weeks. She had met him in the UK years ago while she was in graduate school and studying there one summer. Could he have taken the footage? Maybe he did.
In my mind I have constructed a scenario that would explain the taping.
In trying to solve the mystery, I used a method that the detectives on TV crime shows seem to use. I developed a scenario for the taping and then checked it out for plausibility. In other words, was the opportunity there? Was there the means to do the deed? Was there a motive for the act? Are there other factors that point to the suspect, the old friend? Finally, what were the actions of the suspects after the incident?
The simple scenario: the old friend, who I will call Mack, took the video expecting me to find it immediately as his (the bull's) calling card to me (the unknowing cuckold).
Opportunity:
As I said above Mack was in town that day and I am pretty sure that I was on my way to KC. The only question is whether or not he was still at the house or not. I seem to remember Pam mentioning that he overslept in the morning and had to schedule his flight to Houston later that day. I didn't suspect anything then but now my antennae are really up.
The ex worked at home a lot and liked to take a dip in the pool whenever she had time during the day. Funny thing though, she usually wore a one piece blue racing swimsuit when I wasn't home, because there were two teenage boys who lived next door at the time and she had felt that the younger one was ogling her when she was swimming alone. He probably was and to tell you the truth the one piece was high cut at the waist it really showed-off her cute little butt and, although it covered most of her front, whenever she got out and the air temperature was under 80 F her nipples poked through the thin wet fabric. A sight like that would turn any red-blooded teenage boy into a voyeur. I never mentioned the headlights with the racing suit for fear that she would start wearing her "Church Lady" suit that she wore when she swam in her parent's pool. It was a black floral design with wide shoulder straps and a scoop neckline that covered pretty much all of her interesting parts. Come to think of it maybe she was being ogled and that was what annoyed her.
So there is a probability that the ex was swimming and Mack was there.
Means
How did he get the camcorder? That is easily explained by the fact that the evening before after dinner at the expensive restaurant, the ex and I showed him the tape of our vacations the previous fall and winter I Rome and St. Lucia. I had left the camcorder connected to the TV in the den, the very room that the video was shot from. The scenario is beginning to look more plausible!
Motive
As I said above Mack was there that day and looking back perhaps I should have suspected that something was up but on an almost daily basis Pam would tell me how much she loved me and I adored her. When we first hooked up together she would often tell me how she wished she had met me before she had made all the bad decisions in her life. She had been married twice before and had several affairs and probably more than her share of casual encounters.
One night while we were in bed she told me about a romance that she had with an instructor while studying in Scotland. She described him as the best lover that she ever had. I pressed her for more details and she told me he was well-endowed and she said he knew how to use it, but what made him special was the way he caressed her whole body with his strong but soft hands. He had a way of touching her and she would melt. I asked her if she let him touch her clit directly. She said that, unlike other men before and since, he never focused on just her clit or nipples. As a matter of fact she said during the two week affair she could not remember him ever touching those overly sensitive areas of her body with just his fingers.
I asked how she met him. She related this, "He was my advisor and the first afternoon when the class had ended we were talking about an artistic technique and were so immersed in the subject that the evening hours had come and gone. It was dark and my walk home to my cheap 1 room rental was through a rather rough part of town. He offered to escort me. I hesitated but my apprehension about the neighborhood made me accept. We walked through the seedy part and into a park with a beautiful view of Edinburgh. We stopped to enjoy the view and our eyes met and we kissed. It was the most romantic thing that had ever happened to me.
"We walked the rest of the way to my room pausing several times to kiss and hold each other. I invited him in and he accepted. He gently kissed me and he caressed my entire body through my clothes. I had my first orgasm with him before we were even undressed and before he had even touched my pussy. I was hooked on him. When he finally tried to enter me after about an hour and a half of foreplay and at least three orgasms, I was ready and really wet. He eased his dick into me but bottomed out and I yelped. He pulled out immediately and soothed me. I noticed that he had lost his erection and assured him that it wasn't really pain but rather surprise at his size that caused me to cry out. I softly stroked him and tongued him to a new erection and slowly he entered me for again, this time one inch at a time. I could feel him touch my cervix but this time he did it so gently that I trembled and came. He increased his pace and I lost track of time and place and how many times I came. When his orgasm came I had the most intense orgasm of my life and passed out for about 3 minutes. When I came to, I was aware of him stroking my hair and face and lightly kissing my lips and neck.
