[Transcript of handwritten
statement]
On
In mid to late February of
this year I was over at Lyles Building Supply on
I asked him what was wrong
and he said something like “hey – this is between you and me.” Ted said that the thought that law
enforcement was closing in on him. He
said that he had gotten a part time job at Precision Fabrics so that he would
have an alibi. I asked him “An alibi for
what?”
He answered “for Patricia’s
death.”
I asked him if he killed
Patricia and he said, “No, Ronnie did it.”
I know that Ronnie is his
brother in the Marines. Ted told me that
Ronnie went to their house and shot Patricia and then poured gas on the
body. I was shocked when he told me this
because all along he had always said that he knew nothing about her death and I
always wanted to believe him. He is a manipulator
and had me believing in him.
It was either at this time
or a few days [bottom line is unreadable]
(264)
about this that he would either kill me or get rid of
me. I believed him.
I think it was Wednesday
night, Rhonda Stanfield called me to ask how I was. She said that she had been to see Ted and that
Ted wanted to see me. I told her I
thought that I was not on his visiting list and she said I was. I decided that it might be better if I didn’t
go to visit Ted.
The above statement is true
and accurate to the best of my ability and the above described incidents.
