On 7-15-97 I (A.R. Mauney) interviewed Patric Pardee at the Guilford County Sheriffs Department. At the time Mr. Pardee was considered to be a confidential informant. Patric Pardeeat Guilford Detective Church was present.
 

During this interview the Patric Pardee stated that in early 1997 Ted Kimble told the Patric Pardee about Patricia death during a conversation they were having. Patric Pardee stated Ted told him that Ted and Ronnie had planned the murder and that is why he (Ted) went to work at Precision Fabrics in Greensboro, NC, so he could have an alibi by his time card. Ted also stated Ronnie (brother) had taken care of the murder because he (Ted) didn't want to be married anymore.
