A Woman With Two Lives

摘要

Few people in fayetteville, N.C., who met Laurie Hiett will soon forget her. Not the students in the Spanish course she taught at Westover High School, who remember when the moody wife of a U.S. Army colonel admitted in class to a history of smoking dope. Not Mike Fernandez, the jailed cocaine dealer who says Laurie hung out at his apartment during her lunch breaks. And certainly not a 25-year-old ex-stripper named Celeste Wilcox, who describes herself as Hiett's cocaine-snorting "partner in crime." "Wilcox says Laurie needed to escape occasionally from the straitlaced world of nearby Fort Bragg, where her husband, James, was stationed for two years. Recalls Wilcox: "She taught me a lot about how to lead two lives."
