Although the entire situation was unusual, authorities had to admit Sharon Kinne’s version of events was at least plausible. Therefore, the shooting was deemed to be an accident and charges were not filed in James’ death.
In the months following the shooting, Kinne collected money from her husband’s life insurance policy and purchased a new Ford Thunderbird. She also became close with the man who sold her the vehicle; Walter Jones.

The Lineup reports Jones was already married to another woman when he and Kinne met. However, they still became romantically involved. One month into their affair, Kinne told Jones she was pregnant with his child. Although Kinne hoped the announcement would inspire Jones to leave his wife, it had the opposite effect. Much to her dismay, Jones told Kinne their relationship was over. Shortly thereafter, Jones’ wife, Patricia, vanished.
When interviewed, Patricia’s friends said she had received an unusual phone call shortly before she vanished. Although the woman did not identify herself, Patricia agreed to meet her. According to The Lineup, Patricia asked a friend to drop her off at the meeting place. The driver and other witnesses confirmed a woman was waiting for Patricia at the location. Walter Jones immediately suspected Kinne was the woman who met with his wife and feared she may have had something to do with her disappearance.
