Not long after the discovery of the money, Mrs. Ingram learned that she was pregnant. After Mount St. Helens erupted, the family decided to move on. Once in California, however, Duane and Patricia Ingram separated.

"It was just one thing after another. It was all those things" that drove the couple apart, Mrs. Ingram said.
