Q All of it?

A Yes.

Q Do you think you might have let the dog out after Steve left?

A Well, he could have got out the back way.

Q Why that way?

A I don't know.

Q Why don't you know? You were frightened that night; you remember the door handle; you remember looking out the bathroom; you remember some details; you remember watching TV, making a TV dinner, talking to Steve. Now why can't you remember whether or not you went outside?

A As far as I--well, I didn't go outside then as far as I know.

Q You did not?

(Could not hear any response)

Q But you're not sure?

A I might have went out back.

Q What does that mean?

A I don't know.

Q Well, what is out back?

A Well, out back in the yard.

Q Where would you go if you went out back?

A That would be north, the far end, it's a--you know, a little place.

Q What would you do if you did go out back?

A Just let Christopher out.

Q Does that mean that you walked out of the yard and looked at the stars and walked back in?

A It might.

Q And what else might it mean?

A That's it. Just that.

Q Do you think you've been completely truthful with me?

A Yeah, but I was a little bit shocked.

Q Shocked? Did you say shocked?

A I mean not sh--I was just a little bit, what's happened (*).

Q You are shocked at what has happened?

A Yes.

Q I'm asking you about the examination, do you think you have been completely truthful with me?

A Yes, I have been completely truthful.

A Yes.

A Yes.

Q Have you ever owned a gun?

A No.

Q Within the last three days, have you seen a gun?

A No.

Q Have you answered all my questions about what happened at that house truthfully?

A Yes.

Q Okay. Why did you say when I asked you if you think you might have been outside that house, why do you say, "No," when you said just a little bit before that you

say you think you might.

A I might have went out the back (*)

Q Isn't it strange you can't remember something like that? If you were in my place, wouldn't you find that strange?

A (*)

Q That you couldn't remember that?

A I wasn't expecting anything.

Q But you were frightened, you said.

Page 75

Q Why not?

A Because I didn't.

Q How do you think he got caught out there in all this when you didn't know about it?

A I don't know.

Q The strangest thing you ever saw was the woman swimming nude in the pool, huh?

A Yes.

Q Any difference about the interior of this house?

A What do you mean?

A Yeah. Nothing different to me. What's this?
