John Hinckley is now free to travel -- and Denver is one of his old stomping grounds.
Lee remembered Hinckley as rather nondescript: He favored brown pants, brown jackets, brown button-down shirts and a semi-conservative hairstyle. Still, he made an impression on her even before he drew a bead on the chief executive. She and her sister Linda, two years her senior, loved to jump rope or play on the stairs at the motel,"and he would hang out where we were playing, buy everyone sodas and sit there and watch us, ask us questions," she said.
The Lees were guiltless, too, but Kathy's parents and her oldest sister, Diane, still had to fly to Washington, D.C., for a pre-trial hearing. By the time they returned, things had calmed down at the motel. Lee didn't recall any particular demand for Room 30, the unit Hinckley rented, but she did say weird things seemed to happen there up until her parents sold the motel in 1986.
