TLindsay had wed Colonel Nicholas De Marco, who was described in court as a “career officer” in the legal wing of the U.S. Air Force. The charges against her were said to have put the military federal agent in a “sensitive position” as he was previously an FBI liaison. Her first marriage had been to navy corpsman William Smith in 1982, but he fell on hard times, becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol.

“This one is going to last,” he said optimistically of his subsequent marriage to Bercher.
But they, too, divorced, in May 2006.
