The story

The latter point makes some residents believe that Tiede is attracted to elderly women, while others - including hard-broiled and arrogant district attorney Danny Buck Davidson - believe him to be gay instead.

When Tiede begins doting on Nugent, she takes a liking to him and rediscovers her zest for life.

She makes him the sole inheritor of her will as well as her financial manager, and by 1993, Tiede has been extorted into quitting his mortician job to become Nugent's full-time assistant.
