Transcript http://www.nbcsandiego.com/mostpopular/14093607/detail.html Relatives of 41-year-old Bay Terraces resident Linda Hayward Brown offered NBC 7/39 some clues as to the dynamics of a deadly domestic breakdown. A leading local psychiatrist told NBC 7/39 that he saw the implants and the rock star as possible emotional triggers. Brown, who was known as Lin, was gunned down in full view of her neighbors in a courtyard of townhouses on Bear River Row a week ago. Her husband of 17 years, Curtis Allen Brown, was wounded afterward by police. Officials said he was pointing his weapon at them when he was shot. In petitioning for a temporary restraining order against Curtis, Lin cited a brutal attack last month during which she said he threatened to cut out or burn out her breast implants. NBC 7/39 spoke with Lin's brother Alan Hayward, who lives in Oxfordshire, England, where Lin grew up. Hayward said Lin got the implants last year. "Lin had actually said, 'This is for me. I've got to do something for me, to make me feel better about myself,' " Hayward said. "So it was a confidence thing." Dr. Mark Kalish, a forensic psychiatrist in San Diego, said Curtis' violent comments about Lin's implants suggest he felt threatened by them. "He probably focused on the implants in a symbolic way, then physically wanted to destroy them and thereby, exert his power over her in a very dramatic way," Kalish said. For his part, Hayward thinks that when Lin got the implants "could have been the beginning of the absolute end." Hayward said Lin's fascination with Prince began years ago. "She went to every single one of his concerts that she could go to that was within reach, Hayward said. "She always was there. A massive, massive fan.... She couldn't stop talking about him: 'He's so great . wonderful . great voice. He's just superb.' " According to Hayward, Lin also claimed to have a telephone and text-message relationship with Prince and claimed to have received a birthday bouquet from him and that Prince wrote a song for -- or about -- her. Sources within Prince's organization told NBC 7/39 that there's no indication that any such relationship existed. Kalish said that Curtis, who is now hospitalized under guard and awaits further legal proceedings, might have had issues with Lin's fixation on Prince. "While it is distant and symbolic, it's still very, very threatening to [Curtis]," Kalish said. "I think he focuses on that relationship as an example of his not being in control of her." Another possible emotional point of contention in the Brown marriage, in Kalish's view, was that the couple was childless. Lin had two miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. Through an attorney, both Curtis and his family have declined repeated requests for comment. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 8:42 PM To: NPNY Subject: NPNY: Prince done make this man go crazy... http://video.nbcsandiego.com/player/?id=155211 Seriously Ladies and Gentelmen please be cautious with your Prince obsession You might be next.
