She testified Monday that Pikul telephoned her asking if he could hide something at her house. When he arrived, he told her he had killed his wife and wanted to bury the body on her property, Jarvinen said. To get rid of Pikul, Jarvinen told him her property was unsuitable to bury anything because of its high water table, she testified. Jarvinen claimed she did not want to help Pikul, and she did not call the police after he left because she "didn't have anything to tell them Defense attorney Ronald Bekoff questioned her decision not to call the police and asked why she erased messages from Pikul on her answering machine She had testified that in one of the messages, left after he allegedly dumped the body along the thruway the next day, Pikul said "the package is down Jarvinen said she erases her messages every day. "You et calls every day about people burying bodies or packages?" Bekoff asked.

Thruway workers found her body a few days after she had been reported missing by co workers at Harper's magazine, where she was an assistant to the editor. The case received a great deal of media attention due to Pikul's former position on Wall Street, his wife's job and police assertions that Pikul had been found wearing women's underwear.
