He makes the point that Booth's secret fiancĂ© Lucy Hale was not interrogated after the murder or called to testify at the trial. Is this true? If so, anyone know why? Was the relationship that secret? It seems like she could have unique insight.

Maybe it was too "political" to talk to her....soil the family name......

It seems there were some who knew of the relationship but few spoke of it outside a very tight circle of people. I suspect that her father Senator John Parker Hale refused to allow his daughter to be interviewed to protect her and that there was no great push by authorities to interrogate her as they wanted protect her father. It didn't help even authorities who actually may have wanted to question her that she, along with her father quickly moved to Spain to take his new position. Prior to Lincoln's death, he had appointed Hale Minister to Spain.
