"Myself, Detective Buie and several other members of the team had worked all day Wednesday, all night" "Wednesday, to recover Heather's body." "Well, after they did in fact recover her body, the detectives wanted to bring Emelia in yet again to speak to her about what she knew, you know, "Why is Heather's body in your back yard?"" "As I get to the office, I see that Captain Bibb and Inspector Mongeluzzo were already interviewing Emelia, so I decided to come in here and observe." "We go in and out of that trailer, we store stuff there." "I mean, if you didn't notice, it's full of our stuff." "Where?" "So at first Emelia is telling us that she has no idea where Heather is." "Then the story progresses to that Josh knocked on her window one night and said, "Don't go out there"." "And, ultimately, she does go out there out of curiosity and finds Heather's body." "And he did describe to her that he killed Heather so I still have to ask myself, is there more that she knows or is there more that she's involved in." " Good afternoon." " Hey." " It's been a long day, huh?" " Oh, yeah." "So now there's a whole new story." "Now there's more." "So when we sat across the hall and you shed tears and you swore to me that was it, you were lying again." "What I'm concerned about is that you're still lying." "And I'm going to call you on it." "I was being polite to you last night," " I was being nice to you..." " I know." " But there's still more and I know it." "I KNOW you're trying to back away from what you and Josh did together." "And I know there's more." "I didn't hurt her." " OK, but you were there." " I found her." " You were there." " No, I wasn't." "No, you were there." "OK?" "You've played this whole game for two days now, OK." "If you were there, you need to be completely honest, OK, because you're trying to separate yourself from everything, but you're not credible." "You lie and then we catch you in one and then "OK," ""well, yes, that is true but..." " "but that's all I did."" " No..." " And I know there's more." " Last night..." " I know there's more." " ..after you guys got back..." " I know there's more." "I know you were there while she was still alive." " OK?" " I wasn't there." " I know you were." " I know you were." " I wasn't there." " You were there while she was still" " alive." " I wasn't." " He didn't say "Oh, by the way there's a body in your" ""backyard, just don't be shocked if you find it."" " No, because I confronted him that..." " You just happened to go into" " your back yard and found a body." " No, I wasn't..." "You just happened to go back into the trailer by accident." " We go back there almost every day..." " No, stop." "If you all go back there every day, then your sister would have found her, or your mom." "Not my sister." "Me and my mom go back there all the time." " They sleep..." " He wouldn't have left her back there if he thought your mom would go back there." "He didn't just leave a body 30 yards from your house and not say," ""Oh, by the way, don't let your mom go back there," ""don't let your sister go back there."" "But you've got to know..." "I'm not saying a deal with the court or anything like that, I'm just saying..." "The first person who tells us the truth is the person that just...has a good heart." "Is doing the right thing." "The philosophy is, is they don't know what the other one is saying, and they don't know if the other one's being loyal." "So any chance we got to tell one or the other that the other one's not being quite so loyal, we took advantage of that, hoping that that would cause them to change their story and tell us what they knew about the other one." "Listen to me, hold my hand now." "He was acting weird." " I'm sure he was." " He was acting weird, and when..." " Why are you trying to separate yourself from this, because that's making me..." "Because I had nothing to do with it..." "Last night when we sat in that room, I knew you knew more." "And I knew you knew more, and the reason why I figured you were separating yourself was cos you're involved, a little bit more than what you're saying." "Now, it's making that feeling even stronger." "I did not know anything that night." "I walked out there the next morning to go get some more things together so that I would be ready in a few days when we had to move." " You want to know how I know that's not true?" " How?" "Because you walked into a trailer and you found a dead girl who had been murdered and you thought to yourself "Wow, this is really dangerous." ""I'm about to move in with a murderer." "But, you know, I'm going" ""to go ahead and move in with him." "He's probably not a bad guy."" "I didn't say..." "I didn't think that." "What did you think?" "I didn't know what to think at the time." "Did you think Josh did it?" " I didn't know until I confronted him..." " What do you mean, you didn't" " know?" "OK, you confronted him, and what did he say?" " ..when he got off of work." " And I told him, I said "What the hell is going on, why is she here?"" " OK." "And he said "Well, she was threatening to take the kids" ""and I did what I had to do to make sure she wouldn't take them."" "He said, "Oh, well she was threatening..." "OK, then that's fine." ""OK, let's move in together." "I love you, Josh." ""We're going to have a happy family together."" "That's not why I moved in with him." " I need you to tell me the truth." "Did you kill her?" " No." " Did you kill her?" " No." " Did you tie her up?" " No." " Did you torture her?" " No." "Then you need to tell me everything." "At the point that she is at the office and telling me the story about finding Emelia's body," "I have not been inside this trailer." "So after she tells us that story of finding Heather here, that tells us she was most likely killed here." "So, she's talking to us, she's assisting us in some way." "So I wanted her to walk me through exactly what, exactly what she saw." "If she was telling the truth, it could help in showing that she was telling the truth and had no involvement." "Or, if she's lying, we'll find out if there's maybe a place she'll slip up." " What is that right there?" " Tape." "I personally thought that she was fake." "It's just the next version of the story and I feel confident that if I talk to her again, more new information would come out." "When you say that Emelia told you that Heather was..." "Gone." "Not to worry about her." "Was gone, and not to worry about her..." "Did you question that at all?" "Why didn't you question it?" " Do you think Emelia had something to do with it?" " I don't know." "You said that Emelia told you something else." "Who was involved?" "Jason Lotshaw?" "Josh gave us another twist in this story." "He turned it to Jamie Acome and Jason Lotshaw." "I've known Emelia since we went to high school together." "We kind of grew up a little bit together and went to school and hung out after school and stuff, me and her and Jamie." "James Acome." "We was friends, you know, to an extent, you know what I mean?" "Emelia asked me if I wanted to make 500, I said "Yeah."" "I said, "How?"" "She said "All you've got to do is get Heather and all of us go out" ""and get drunk and then you can leave and I'll snap her neck or some" ""crazy shit like that."" "Do you think Emelia was serious when she offered you that money?" "I believe she was." "She..." "I don't think she wanted to just give me 700." "I don't think Emelia would have just gave me 700, you know." "That was a big moment, because that brought us back to Emelia, and Emelia's involvement." "Because again, she denied having any involvement." "There's other people has come forward about some statements that you have made." "In regards to?" "Some statements you have made." "I'm telling you, if you want me to go down this road, it's not going to look pretty for you."
