Sources who know Cooke said she and [Patrick F. Wermer] have been seen together regularly at Georgetown nightspots and at the Watergate at Landmark apartments in Alexandria, where she lived before marrying the Redskins owner. She is his fourth wife. The police report on Wermer’s arrest listed his residence at the same address as the Watergate at Landmark complex, though he also is listed in directory information as living at the Executive Apartments in Arlington. The neighbor said Wermer had lived in or visited [Marlene Chalmers Cooke]’s apartment for the last six years, but that “he’s been gone the last few months.” The neighbor said Wermer drove a black Ford Taurus purchased by Marlene Cooke. A salesman at Landmark Honda said Cooke bought a used 1987 black Taurus two summers ago, paying with a check. Asked how old Marlene Cooke is, Suzanne Martin Cooke, Cooke’s third wife and a onetime friend of Marlene’s, said, “That’s the million-dollar question.” The current Mrs. Cooke, according to the former Mrs. Cooke, is about 43. |
