Full transcript
- 0:00"Okay tape's on"
- 0:10My name is Detective Brad Hoover, my badge number 6188 and I'm with Toronto Police Service Sex
- 0:18Crimes Unit. The time now is 2:05 p.m., we're presently at the Kingston Penitentiary in Kingston
- 0:26Ontario, in a boardroom, and as thick as the main building you'd call it. Present in the room here
- 0:33if I could just have each of you identify yourself for the purposes of the videotape
- 0:39that's being made. Seated to my left, off-camera and now sitting at the table, is your counsel. Just
- 0:45identify yourself. "Yes certainly. It's Anthony Bryant." And straight across the table for me if you
- 0:51identify yourself. "Constable Darlene Coulas, badge number six four eight three from Toronto
- 0:56Police Service." And seated to my right, if you could just identify yourself. "Paul Jason Teal — a.k.a. Paul Bernardo"
- 1:11And again my name is Brad Hoover and today is June the 7th 2007. Mr. Teal, the reason that
- 1:21we're here today is to speak to you regards to a couple of incidents, a couple of matters. First
- 1:29of all before we start I just want you to make sure that you're aware that what
- 1:34we say is being videotaped here. "Yeah that works." I'm just going to start this audio tape
- 1:38I forgot to do that
- 1:50Now I just started this audiotape here we started the interview at 2:05 p.m. my name is Detective
- 1:57Brad Hoover all you're not presently being given a caution or anything and I want you
- 2:05to understand what you're saying to us today is voluntary. That means that if you don't want
- 2:09to talk to us you don't have to. Your counsel is present and if you need to speak to him you
- 2:14certainly can but I just want to make sure you understand what you're saying here is
- 2:18voluntary and that we're interviewing you as a potential witness. Do you understand that? "Yeah"
- 2:28Just a little bit of background about the first time we met back last year in April
- 2:34of 2006. That was in regards to a letter that you had sent through the attorney general's office
- 2:41that filtered down to my office in regards to some admissions that you made about some sexual
- 2:49assaults that you committed. I'm here to tell you that I have concluded that investigation and that there
- 2:56have been two offenses that I have been able to identify and with the information that you've
- 3:03provided to me at that time was able to conclude those matters as having been committed by yourself
- 3:10So for that I thank you for that information. "Sorry, you've identified..." Identified this offense, no no
- 3:18no no I have identified the offense that you were talking about and based on that information I was
- 3:24able include those cases that actually provided enough information that I was satisfied you were
- 3:30the person that committed those offenses. "Okay." That make sense? "That makes sense, what about ones that you thought
- 3:35that I came forward with that maybe you thought that I didn't do? Were there any of those?" There was none that I thought you didn't do. There were some that
- 3:44I didn't have enough information to either identify the offense because you were unable to provide enough details at that
- 3:51time, or they may not have ever been reported to the police. As you said when we spoke, some of them were
- 3:58I won't call them minor type offences but ah — "No, I understand" — offences that may not have been reported to the police. "Ok, um, well, I turned
- 4:09on the TV, I waited for Peel Regional to come by; September rolls they say, they make a public
- 4:15announcement, it's written on my file here, that that I lied to police and I did not commit the
- 4:20crimes that I said I committed, the offences in Peel Region. Okay, big problem." I have spoken to Peel Region and they have told me that
- 4:30they don't have enough information at this point to identify anything that you, the letter that
- 4:38was sent to the police to through to the police wasn't specific enough to identify any offenses
- 4:44Now that's something that we can talk about sort of following this interview and if you want to get
- 4:51into that we can talk about that. "Look, I've been sitting on this for years in this place. It's written on my file and it makes me seem
- 4:57like always just this crazy — you guys love doing that — I'm just this crazy psychopathic liar
- 5:04Why was that statement issued? Why didn't they come in and talk to me if they didn't have enough information. We
- 5:08were waiting, now that tape, you can play that tape back, I asked you guys is Peel Regional gonna
- 5:11come in. I sat here month after month after month — no one came. I turned on the TV in September
- 5:17Peel Regional, you know, declared that Paul Bernardo was, you know, this crazy liar to police. What what what's the
- 5:23fundamental problem here?" Well "I know I mean justice, the Canadian way and and no one comes
- 5:29in and now you guys are saying that you didn't have enough information? Well..." I can't answer for
- 5:33them specifically as to what they did or didn't do. I can tell you that because they're a separate
- 5:38police department I don't have any control over what investigation that they did do I can tell
- 5:43you that I have spoken with the investigator in Peel Region and they have told me that at
- 5:49this point they don't have enough information to move forward. They haven't been able identify any offense that was
- 5:56specifically talked about. "That statement you're giving me as much different the public statement
- 6:00they said which said I was a liar." I don't, I don't... "The same game, they didn't come in if they don't have enough
- 6:04information, while don't you come in get the information. I mean either I'm lying or not lying and this goes
- 6:09to the crux of this argument. Either I'm a liar to you, that I'm lying to you right now about everything like
- 6:13I did to Peel Regional, according to their story, or I'm not, and, you know, I I just I just I'm not gonna sit
- 6:19here and, you know, come voluntarily and have people come — you guys banned me from the press, you roll
- 6:24your stories over and you constantly say that I'm a liar, I'm a liar. I made mistakes 17 years ago, so
- 6:28okay, fine, I did, but but now we're talking about today and you're not gonna roll forward that I'm
- 6:33some psychopathic liar sitting in jail claiming other people's responsibilities for other crimes
- 6:38This is a total of cross-examination point you want started this thing James Lockyer is
- 6:42gonna grab a hold of it and say, well he lied about other crimes, you know he's a crazy
- 6:46liar. Why didn't you guys resolve this?" And again I can't answer for what Peel Region did or didn't do
- 6:51Jurisdictionally we're kind of bound... "Well, still, there's the good guys and the bad guys, you know, what I mean
- 6:57you're on the same team." Yes we are, but as far as us investigating matters that take place
- 7:03outside of the actual Toronto proper, that's why Peel Regional has their police service and, like
- 7:08Detective Hoover said, we can't answer as to what they did with their investigations or the many
- 7:14issues that they were looking at that transpired out in their area and we really can't speak to that. Now
- 7:19whether that's something you wish to have your counsel deal with someone and that something
- 7:23else, but unfortunately there isn't a lot Detective Hoover and I can do with regards to those things
- 7:30"Well, you've been watching this thing and they should subpoena these guys from Peel Regional
- 7:34They can bring out all the facts to show just where I lied that if I'm a
- 7:37liar. That's what I say to do it because either I'm a liar or I'm not a liar and I'm not a liar but
- 7:42you guys are trying to paint me as one. The public, court of the public, they turn on the
- 7:46TV in September of last year and I was this crazy liar. That's what the TV reported and not only did
- 7:51the reported there, they wrote it on my file. I've got to right in my cell: Paul Bernardo, Peel
- 7:55Regional said Paul Bernardo lied to police about crimes he didn't commit and said he did." Okay "I mean
- 8:00this is this, that's just awful. I mean come on, enough manipulation, you know what I mean, either you tell the
- 8:05truth or don't, otherwise the whole purpose of any interview is just stupid, because if I'm this
- 8:09crazy liar, I'll be sitting here lying to you about everything, right? Right? I mean, why wouldn't I am just
- 8:15this crazy liar." And then, again, I don't I don't know exactly what was said by Peel Region
- 8:20I'm not here to answer to what they said, they're... "You know, it's one thing, you know — I'm a human being
- 8:28and to say that I'm a dangerous offender and raper and killer and all this stuff is fine. I mean free
- 8:32publicity, you know, get that real tough-on-crime, get that bad guy, but but when you go to a certain point of
- 8:37lying, it just, I mean, it affects me totally, you know. I made mistakes, I made mistakes long time
- 8:42ago, but don't say that today about this because then we're liable and we got a big problem because
- 8:46I'm looking at you and you're the bad guys, because I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm out telling the
- 8:51truth and you guys are walking around issuing statements that I lie here, I lie there. No?"
- 8:57Well, I mean, those aren't statements that were issued by Detective Hoover or myself or... "I know, but it's the same
- 9:04it's Attorney General who sent you guys down here, he's fighting the case, he's taking this
- 9:07ball pitch back, right, so it's really all, it's the same organization. It's the Attorney General
- 9:11I see him on TV talking about it." But this is a separate matter from what those issues were
- 9:15"It's still the Attorney General's office." Yeah may very well be but, so, we can't speak to anything that Peel Regional does or statements that they
- 9:24release out to the media, because they have... "You know, it's the same thing if I'm a liar
- 9:31take the facts that that they have, they come down and talk to me any cross-examine, any defence lawyer can call them up
- 9:37and show me where I'm lying, because you're not gonna find it. Maybe there's a minor mistake
- 9:41here and there — I think I have one thing about some tree, driveway where trees were, you know memory gets a little old
- 9:47over time, but to say that is just ridiculous. Just like you guys didn't go, uh, you guys polygraph Karla yet? Ask her about it?
- 9:56Nobody from the General Attorney’s office go down there? Nobody cared? Again — I know — but it's the same problem because you're making me out to be huge liar and and
- 10:04this is a problem." Well, I don't have any doubt as to what you told us before. The facts that I can verify I believe were true
- 10:10And from what you told me you haven't told me any lies yet, so I have no personal reasons
- 10:16to believe that your lying. "Exactly." So... "Exactly." So... "But this is was different story than I've got in
- 10:21my file..." And I don't know what's in your file because I'm not privy to that information or
- 10:26what's there or what's not there I'm just telling you from my perspective and from an investigative
- 10:32perspective into what I've looked into, to what admissions you've made back in April last
- 10:36year to me, I'm I'm satisfied I've done what I can do as far as the investigation. If Peel, if you'd
- 10:43like to provide me with more information about the specific occurrences that occurred in Peel
- 10:48Region then we can talk about that after the focus of what we're here for today. "But it
- 10:55is part of the focus." Well it is and it isn't. "Well I think it is." I mean, obviously directly we're
- 11:00here today to deal with the Baltovich matter that you're aware of. "But dealing with me comes down to credibility
- 11:07Comes down to credibility, absolutely it does and that's that's what we're here to talk about today and so
- 11:14let's let's deal with that and then we can deal with the other stuff afterwards. Is that ok? "Yeah, go ahead, just making
- 11:21my point on it because it's gonna be addressed sometimes." Absolutely it will. "It should have been
- 11:26dealt with a year and a bit ago. So"
- 11:30"Well, not quite a year, actually." A little over a year ago. Um, I have some questions that were that were given to
- 11:40me to ask you in relation to the Baltovich matter, the Robert Baltovich matter before
- 11:48we do that I just want to say you understand obviously the importance of telling the truth
- 11:51and the consequences potentially of someone who lies to the police and not telling the
- 11:58truth? "I think we discovered that actually I was referring you guys tell the truth." Right, okay, so
- 12:04we're aware of that in this matter I believe that you had some conversation with your council into the
- 12:09regards to it and there has been some discussion about polygraph testing in this matter. Is that
- 12:16true or not true or do you recall that? "Wha?... You're opening cans of worms everywhere." No, I'm just asking you a specific
- 12:25question. "You know that goes back to you guys polygraphed everyone about the Camaro, you didn't
- 12:30polygraph Karla, and in two years since, have you guys gone down there and asked her? Have you settled
- 12:34the matter with it because you could say I lied or whatever about polygraph but have you asked her?
- 12:38Because it comes down to a lot of that issue." OK. "You know I mean have you asked her? Has the attorney general gone down..." OK, I don't know
- 12:46Let me tell you a little bit; my involvement with this overall investigation of the Baltovich
- 12:52is very limited. The only knowledge that I have is, as to what investigation has been done or
- 13:00hasn't been done, is specifically what's remained the conversations I've had about this interview
- 13:05here today, okay? Who or what other witnesses there are, I don't know. "In answer, in answer to your
- 13:12question, I don't want to go off in tangents, but all these all these issues are relevant. I
- 13:15know you don’t think they are. In answer to your question is, we had some discussion on it but
- 13:19when Corcoran and the OPP came down before Karla was released I told him I'd be willing to take a
- 13:25polygraph on anything and everything would you in turn are you going to go down before you release
- 13:29Karla and just asked her — she's not gonna take it she's gonna fail on on all these issues — did her
- 13:33hand cause [inaudible] blah blah blah did this Tami happen in July, was the girl in January
- 13:38actually kidnapped and not somebody I picked up at a bar that she tried to roll
- 13:42over and all these other issues all relevant all relevant, and and, so then I addressed it to
- 13:49you guys when you came back again last year I said yeah I'll take a polygraph on anything because
- 13:53I I'm not telling a lie on a thing. Are you, have you, again, I asked the question have you guys gone down
- 13:58there? I know that Karla's free now. I'm not in the business of putting her in jail, it's not my thing
- 14:02but my point was, did you ask you her the question just so we get the story straight I mean if she
- 14:07refuses, well, there's there's a reason why she's refusing and again you guys couldn't provide the
- 14:11answer and now almost a year later again you don't provide the answer. So, I mean, you know, I don't know
- 14:18what you're asking me, you're asking me to take a polygraph when you were willing to ask her?" Well again
- 14:22"I mean..." This this my part of this investigation is is limited to what we're saying here today so
- 14:27the the details of all of what other witnesses may or may not have been asked or done, I
- 14:32don't know and as a as a potential witness I'm not allowed to tell you what we have done
- 14:37so now I have to sort of be careful about the way that it's answered or even what you think
- 14:42my answer might be. "Yeah, I know, I just just wanted for the record that I gave you good information which
- 14:49you guys could have independent of me could have verified my story or not and whether you guys do
- 14:54or do not is your business. Like I said, I'm not a prosecutor I'm not here to point a finger at
- 14:57anyone but I showed you where to go so if you guys don't do that your business. But you know
- 15:02to me, it's like if you didn't, why didn't you if you want to know the truth about things." Right. "So..."
- 15:09I understand that and I understand what you're saying, so, what we're here to talk about today, obviously you know that this statement may be used in
- 15:19court or maybe sent to court as a voluntary statement. "Yeah." Okay a polygraph obviously is
- 15:25not something that's court admissible but I'm not sure if you're aware of that or not. "Yeah I am." So its not before the court
- 15:31So the crux of what we're here to talk about is that it has been suggested that in the continuing case
- 15:39of the disappearance of Elizabeth Bain and the charge of murder against Robert Baltovich
- 15:44that you are the alternative suspect, or an alternative suspect. Are you aware of that? "Yeah, yeah."
- 15:52Did you kill Elizabeth Bain on June the 19th 1990? "Well, it's a loaded question. I mean are we gonna
- 16:01go back and go through the time sequence of what happened in my life. I mean I could just give a
- 16:06yes or no answer but you know there's a lot of issues about that." Right. "You know, Karla's, my role
- 16:12who did what, where, when — this is why I said did you guys you know go down there to get a polygraph to
- 16:17get to see if she was telling the truth. Like, why didn't Bevan do it in the first place? I mean his
- 16:22polygraphing everyone over the Camaro, why would he make a deal with someone and not give them
- 16:25a polygraph? It's incomprehensible to me. You know because now I'm sitting — my file says her
- 16:30version, and it's a lie. You know, you know what I mean?" Yeah. "Like you know and I'm not making frivolous
- 16:38points here. I mean, and now you're asking me after you after you said Peel Regional said
- 16:42I'm lying about this, and then you're saying I'm lying about my profile, you're saying I'm lying if I'm
- 16:46better or not, now you're saying hey did you kill this person? I mean well you're saying I'm lying here
- 16:50here here. I could say no I didn't, but I mean you already said I'm lying here with Peel, you're
- 16:56saying..." Ok, I'm not saying anything about who's lying I'm simply, um... "And I’ve given you directions to go to
- 17:02find the truth and no one's done that." And I have asked and again I have told you that I've
- 17:07done investigations on information that you've told me, and as a result of that information I have been
- 17:14able to verify in my mind where you've told me the truth, so if Peel Region is lying about you or someone
- 17:21else is lying about you, I have no control over that or no... "It goes right to credibility." Well absolutely
- 17:26it does and that's I guess the the easy way today is to if we can go through will answer
- 17:31the questions and yes I hope to be able to go through some timeline to identify where you
- 17:36were what you were doing specifically in relation to this this case. "Anyways I know I'm giving you
- 17:42guys a hard time about certain things but, I mean, really, I'm a human being and when you guys do all these
- 17:47things I've gotta... anyways, I'll try and truncated it a little bit more but, anyways, the answer to that is no, but the 800-pound
- 17:57gorilla in the room is that's a life-25 sentence, you know, it really comes down to credibility and
- 18:03not only credibility but then again timeline. I mean. between what Karla's and my roles were
- 18:08respectively and this and that. The answer's no to that question." Did you have anything to do
- 18:16with her disappearance? "No." Did you know Elizabeth Bain? "Not that I know of." Had you ever met her? "I'm gonna answer that with I don't remember
- 18:30Because if I did or I didn't, I don't remember
- 18:33But I know an ex-girlfriend try to say it but, like I say, I don't remember"
- 18:40You are they obviously are aware of her disappearance?
- 18:43"Yeah, sort of." Do you recall when you became aware of this?
- 18:51"Best that I can recollect after in September
- 18:56"Didn't follow the news much"
- 19:01The date obviously June the 19th 1990 was... "But but but, you know, other than that
- 19:07I don't remember, maybe I heard about it before but I can't recall if I did or not. But I remember in jail I had newspapers after that fact and I saw something on it"
- 19:15We'll sort of get into that a little bit when we hope to go through a bit of a timeline
- 19:22with you as to some things that may jog your memory as to.. "We're talking now." Back in that time. I mean
- 19:29If you asked me what I was doing three weeks ago on Tuesday I probably couldn't tell you
- 19:33unless you put some reference to it so hopefully be able to do that and again obviously June the
- 19:4219th 1990, do you know what you were doing that day? "I have no recollection." I have a document here in front of me that
- 19:56references some points in time around this, the June of 1990 period from police
- 20:03investigation. This is what indicates you may have been involved with or may
- 20:09have certain things that you may have done and I'd like to go through a couple
- 20:12of them that sort of may sort of assist you in remembering what we were doing back in 1990
- 20:22The first part of June 1990 actually June the first, Karla had a doctor's appointment
- 20:32where she was complaining of pains in her right side, perhaps she had something to do
- 20:41with the rabies shot, does that ring any bells? "None at all." In the first part of June you had a Nissan
- 20:50240sx is that correct? "Yeah." You're making several trips into the United States June 2nd June 3rd
- 20:58June 10th June 16th. I think at that point you were involved with cigarette smuggling and
- 21:04things like that from what I recall. Is that no? "That would be. No, that wasn't until after we moved out, so." Ok.
- 21:14So, making several trips to the States within a couple of days that's something...? "When we
- 21:19started the relationship we were going over all the time so just for personal reasons only"
- 21:25On June the 16th you shopped at Ruff Hewn. Is that Niagara Falls, United States, is that store sound familiar to you?
- 21:36"Yeah it sounds familiar, I have no idea if those are the dates, but you got a receipt for it." I think there must be a receipt and again I don't
- 21:42have all the details I'm just going by what's on this sheet of paper — it's a black expandable binder, does that... "I can't recall 100 percent but..."
- 21:54That would have been around the same time. That was about a week prior to, if you purchased one of those, Elizabeth Bain going missing
- 22:02"I have no idea when I purchase it, I just recall I had something like that, like an accordion binder type of thing
- 22:11June June the 16th again, thats woulda been the same day in St. Catharines you
- 22:16attended a movie Back to the Future 3. Do you recall when that movie came out? "I have no idea"
- 22:28There's a receipt for a cellphone purchased at a Radio Shack at the
- 22:32Town & Country mall at 6366 Yonge Street. Do you remember buying a cellphone
- 22:38"I know I bought a cell phone around that time because when I declared bankruptcy I handed my other one in and I bought the Radio Shack one
- 22:46I don't know the dates." That would have been the day after Elizabeth Bain went missing
- 22:54Does that... do you remember anything you were involved with around that time? You say you were going bankrupt so what
- 23:00type of activity were involved in sort of on a day-to-day basis? "The only thing I remember about the bankruptcy that happened
- 23:07around a couple days before the the sexual assault that
- 23:13the composite came out, that was — if i recollect correctly — it was two days before I filed for that
- 23:27"But I couldn't even tell you that date, I just know it was some time in... what date did you say that was?
- 23:32June the...?" June the 16th of 1990. "When was that sexual assault, the one with the composite, was it the 24th
- 23:40What date do you guys have for that?"
- 23:49There was one, there was a sexual assault in May of 1990. "That the composite one? In May?"
- 23:57I think that it is but it doesn't say that specifically here but shortly after that... "My time line's off."
- 24:04"Um, I don't know." The end of June of 1990 that was the original, when someone identified you potentially .
- 24:13as the Scarborough rapist... "When was that, the end of...?" That was June 28 of 1990
- 24:22Lori Homolka's 19th birthday was June the 22nd 1990. Do you recall her going to her
- 24:30birthday? "I know, I know it was around that time but I don’t specifically recall that birthday"
- 24:36The only reason it might have sunk in is she would have then been of legal drinking age and perhaps you [inaudible]
- 24:46"Way before that"
- 24:49June 21st so after just the day after you've bought the cell phone you made a purchase at
- 24:57"I'm sorry, you know saying what 19 for this girl's...?" June 19th was the day she went missing
- 25:01"What day did I buy that?" June 20th was the day you bought the cell phone. June 25 "I must have declared bankruptcy
- 25:10around then because I got that cell phone — I had to hand my, all my, uh, items in to the trustee
- 25:16and I had a cell phone, so I went in and got a Radio Shack one, so it would have been right around the same time, I don’t think I went a month without it
- 25:27I don't think so, I might have, but anyways I don't know, it was a while ago, so memory's a bit fuzzy." Yeah, May the 29th which was just before that
- 25:37about a month before that that was the day that the police released the composite. "Ah, so it was May"
- 25:43"So I lost a month. That's what happens you lock a guy over fifteen years and then bring this all up
- 25:50"The memory gets fuzzy. So I guess I waited a month to get the cell phone." About a
- 25:56month to get the cell phone. Did you recall anything what were what were you doing sorry during that month?
- 26:00Anything? "Probably the same thing says they're going across the border, back and forth, recreational stuff
- 26:05"I know Tammy happened in July. That was I think third week in July, for the first time but this was back a few months"
- 26:32Okay, so just prior to Tammy's birthday there was some shopping at a Canadian Tire store... "Lori"
- 26:37"Lori's birthday. Sorry, Lori's birthday. Two times in one day you went to
- 26:45Canadian Tire on Sheppard Avenue 1019 Sheppard Avenue. Do you normally shop
- 26:53at Canadian Tire stores? "Back then, yeah. That's before all these super center, Walmart's and stuff"
- 27:05Do you ever recall having any conversations about the disappearance of Elizabeth Bain?
- 27:16"No." If I if I played you a, it's going to play us a short audio clip. It's a conversation
- 27:29that you had — or a conversation between Tony Moore who was an investigator with
- 27:36the Toronto police and Karla Homolka. I'm just going to play to see if this
- 27:41sounds familiar or if it jogs your memory as to any conversation you may have had
- 27:49Had there been any discussion about Bain's disappearance?
- 28:04"Umm, I think the only thing that he ever said was about her was that her boyfriend did
- 28:09it or something like that but there wasn't any
- 28:12real extensive discussion but he talked about like all the women that were disappearing"
- 28:25Again that that was a conversation between an investigator Tony Moore with the Toronto
- 28:30Police Service and Karla Holmolka. Does that conversation, is that something you may recall saying that to Karla
- 28:36or talking about that? "Well, you know, she went down 'Paul did it.' Catchphrases at trial — 'Paul did it,' 'It
- 28:42was Paul.' She's continuing right here, the fact of the matter was, since I didn't pay attention
- 28:49to anything, I didn't watch the news back then, I was too busy doing other things. I didn't pay attention but there's the
- 28:54profile is a serial killer pays attention to all the news media, this narcissistic personality, blah blah blah
- 28:59All that crap. I don't know anything about this case now, I don't know if this guy did it, I don't even care I'm not a
- 29:06prosecutor, you know, do the right thing for society blah blah blah I don't know if he
- 29:10did it, I don't have the facts to know if he did it, and I certainly didn't know back then, so to say
- 29:15that for me to make, she's alleging that I made a statement 'the boyfriend did it.' well, you know
- 29:21some cases I have followed because I'm in jail and I've nothing else to do but watch the
- 29:25TV, but I weigh the facts, you know, I take, you know, like did OJ like do it for example, right
- 29:30You weigh the facts about whether he did or not, he got off, so I think that's the law but
- 29:34I would have had to weigh the facts. I don't know the facts in these circumstances so there's no way
- 29:38I can make a statement such as that. How could I say he did it if I don't know the facts of the case
- 29:45So, no, she’s, she’s incorrect"
- 29:48And it may depend on when that conversation took place
- 29:54between between her and and that investigator
- 29:58"Well, Moore, wasn’t he back when that deal was made?
- 30:02"Moore, if I remember reading the transcripts that was a name from day one, when she signed her little twelve year deal, no polygraph required. Hey I'm
- 30:12I'm giving you the truth here, you guys can prove me wrong, go down there ask her
- 30:15You're gonna get a no. I keep telling you but no one does it. But on but you know so that's sounds
- 30:22like a conversation but that's what you do, you want to blame it all on the other person
- 30:26You know, you paint that scenario.— psychopathic serial killer"
- 30:34Do you do you know Robert Baltovich?
- 30:38"I’ve seen him on, you know, on [inaudible] TV or whatever
- 30:43"Okay, so I purposely avoided this case." Right. "I don't like this shit on my
- 30:48mind, do you know what I mean? Anything to do with... You know, unfortunately when Karla came out I watched and tried
- 30:53to discern truth, fact between fiction a couple of years ago but otherwise, you
- 30:57know, I don't like to get into these things. I've had 100 lifetimes of all her stuff and I
- 31:04don't want my mind poisoned with this and this and this, so in this case I avoid it as much as possible
- 31:12But I have seen his face on the TV"
- 31:16Anything else you'd like to tell us about this investigation?
- 31:20"No."
- 31:29Okay, the time now is 2:35 and we'll conclude this portion of our interview
- 31:38"Okay."
