Neither made any comments as they got into attorney Kepler Funk's black Porsche SUV.Funk said he had told Shipman to "go in and tell the truth."Nowak told police she drove from Houston to Orlando to talk with Shipman about their mutual love interest, former shuttle pilot Oefelein. Nowak carried with her a duffle bag filled with a BB pistol, wig, trenchcoat, hat, knife, steel mallet, surgical rubber tubing and black plastic garbage bags.
