"MAN:" "What can you tell us, and, more importantly, what can we do to assist in the investigation into the murder of Karen Howard, the girl we can see on our screens now?" "TENNISON:" "Karen Howard's body was discovered in a bed-sitter on January the 15th this year." "Now, we know where Karen was up until 6:45 on the evening of January the 14th, but we've yet to discover her wherea" "What did you do that for?" "I don't know what you want to watch it for." "Because there's somebody out there that can prove I'm innocent, that's why." "My God." "You don't believe me, either, do you?" "Do you?" "!" " You think I killed her!" " That's not true." "Well, then, for Christ's sake, watch it." "They've got a phone-in!" "What if someone phones in and they saw the guy that picked her up, the same guy I saw?" "What did you have to go and pick that girl up for?" "You mean why did I have sex with her?" "Because she was there." "Jesus!" "Do you think I don't want to turn the clock back?" "Do you think I don't wish that I'd never laid eyes on her?" "Are you telling me that if I was to say to you there'd never be another woman in my life, that you'd believe it?" "I love you." "I don't cheat on you." "I'm not like some guys, screwing their friends' wives." "What friends?" "We don't have any left." "Look, somebody else killed her, Moyra, not me." "All I'm praying is that they find who did it and then they leave us alone." "MAN:" "The bed-sit was in the Holborn area." "We can see on the screen at the moment the street and the house where she was discovered." "Could someone have taken Karen to this place by force?" "TENNISON:" "That is a possibility, but at this stage in the investigation, we can't say for sure." "MAN:" "The 14th of January -- to help you recall that night -- the newspapers carried the story of Tandy, a fox terrier who'd been trapped in a manhole for more than three days." "Now, most of the newspapers carried a leading story and photograph of the recovery of Tandy." "The film you are about to see shows a reconstruction of Karen's last known movements after she left this building," "MacDonald's Advertising, and said goodbye to an executive she'd been to see." "It was 6:30." "Wearing clothes like these and carrying her portfolio, she walked towards her blue Mini, which she'd left parked in a side street under the Westway beyond these bottle banks." "Karen was 24, 5'8", with long, blond hair and blue eyes." "She looks like Karen." "...her portfolio into the passenger seat..." "Not as pretty, though." "When she tried to start it, the battery was flat." "This witness said he saw Karen lock her car, leaving her portfolio behind." "He cannot recall if she had a handbag, but no handbag has been found, nor has her jacket." "Will Jane be on again, Daddy?" "Listen to the program." "I think she might come on again after the film." "She'll be interviewed again." "No, I think that's it." "They now ask for witnesses to call in, and then -- then it stops." "Would you all shut up?" "The witness who saw Karen try to make a call here also directed her towards a phone booth further along Ladbroke Grove." "PAM:" "She was a pretty girl, wasn't she?" "MRS. TENNISON:" "That's not the real girl." "That's someone dressed up as her." "MR. TENNISON:" "They couldn't have the real girl, woman, because she's dead." "When Karen reached it, she discovered it was a card phone." "Perhaps she didn't have a card." "She certainly never made the call." "What happened next?" "The time is now approximately 6:45 p.m." "Did you go into this pub that night?" "Did you see Karen Howard by this phone box on the corner of Lancaster Road?" "And the wolves howled!"
