“There’s nothing in her past?”
She shook her head.

“To tell the truth, Donald, I don’t know. She’s always been exceptionally secretive about finances. I think there was some money, but I don’t know how much. If there was money, it was mostly insurance.”
“And how did you uncle die?”
“He died very suddenly. Some sort of food poisoning, I think.”
I said, “That may be it.”
