27 Years and finally finding out some of the truth

First ever post and looking for some advice. My wife and I have been married 36 years now. My wife had an affair 27 years ago. At the time, I suspected something was going on. Late night phone calls when I was in bed. Calls deleted from the caller ID and lack of affection. She had played volleyball for two seasons while I stayed home and watched our children. After volleyball, the teams would go to a local pizza joint (Salerno’s) for a couple of beers and hang out. On Sept 22, 1998 – I decided to find out if she was at Salerno’s. So I drove to Salerno’s and she wasn’t there. I waited for her to come home. She came home around 1100 PM and asked her how volleyball was and where she went afterwords. She responded that they had lost a bunch of games and they all went to Salerno’s for few beers. Interesting enough, I could not detect the smell of alcohol on her breath. I said, are you sure you went to Salerno’s? She said yes. I then told her that I went to Salerno’s and did not see her car, went inside and she wasn’t there. Her car was also not at the High School where they played volleyball. She then said that she met a guy who played volleyball in the league after the game and all they did was talk in the car while parked at a local middle school. This didn’t make sense to me as I had suspected something more been going on for much longer, as in an affair. She insisted that this was their first meeting, and "nothing sexual had happened". I pushed further and got nowhere; she was steadfast in her story. I was angry, so I asked her for his name and phone number. I called his house and he answered, I told him I knew where they had been and asked to speak to his wife. I told her that her husband was not at Salerno’s, but instead was parked in a school parking lot with my wife. I also told her about my suspicions about the affair.
