CONFERENCE
WITH RONNIE KIMBLE 5/4/97 2nd interview -
DeBerry - February, 1997 by Monroe listening in. Tape interview -
July-August 1997 (AC in back). Jim Church - tape
- Church did most of the talking. Harold Pendergrass was there, Major Gregory
Monroe - Navy investigator 10/30/95 - first interview time, DeBerry has not
given any statement to Church. Attorney
supposedly represented the Kimbles and thus Church backed off. Seven months after
Patricia's death in March. End of March -
Church says - Ronnie did not wish to talk to SBI. Church claims he
was misled for several months by the idea that North or Cook was
representing the Kimbles. Church threatened
to take the Kimbles before a federal grand jury. "I have been
misled." "It looks real bad
on you." "We need answers
from you." 0615: Interview of
10/30/95 - Agent Monroe "A ton of
inconsistencies in these" according to Church. Pendergrass says he
has a copy of the 10/30/95 interview. First thing that
hit Church's mind was - mistaken on Ted's wedding date. Christy - Ronnie
said an unknown female called night Patricia's sister-in-law called.
Ken took the call - not Ronnie. Ronnie's mother has a pager. Ronnie says
everybody in the family has a pager. U.S. Navel
Criminal Investigation Service report. 750 - Second
Side Copy of
receipt from purchase at Atlantic Mobile Homes James Ogburn
- very smart. Church says
Ogburn is very smart. Gave a statement to Dave North saying he saw
Ronnie at 3:45 - 4:30. James Ogburn
(B.M.) says that when Ronnie came in there with the truck 12:15 and
talked to Ted. Church
claims that another witness saw Ronnie in his truck and a second
person drove up. 1100: James
Ogburn said "another white male" came in behind driving Ronnie's
car. (This would be Dobish) Ronnie
says... Ogburn told
a "reliable person" this. Ogburn said
Ronnie was there with another white male - military type was there. At 3:00
Ronnie was ... Ronnie says
"nobody drove my car that day." Ronnie says
that is not true. Ogburn told
"another person." Apparently James Ogburn does not want to talk to Church but has told the reliable third person. Ogburn does
not cooperate with Church. So Ogburn said Ronnie came back at 3:00
p.m. Took truck
back to Ted and Patricia's house and parked it. No cellular phone in
box truck. Called Ted
at time he was eating lunch at home. Ronnie told
Ted where he left gas receipt. Left keys stuck in seat. Fine tooth
saw blade. Went back to
Lyles some time "after 3:00 because left his house at 3:00. School
was about to let out. Went home
before 4:30. Resumed working on underpinning. Church told
Ronnie that he told the agent he got home at 4:30 (Monroe
statement). 1630: About
1/2 hour later Mr. Stump arrived. NOTE: Ronnie
recalls telling Monroe that Stump got there 15 minutes after he got
there. Interview
lasted no more than one hour. Monroe wrote
in Ronnie's presence According to
Church, Ronnie told Monroe that Stump got there at 5:00 p.m. Ronnie
corrected this to Church and said Stump got there at 10 minutes to
5. Kim arrived
after Stump left. Ronnie said Kim got home around 5:40 "as far as I
know." Events after
Ken got home - went by Stumps briefly - went to Winn Dixie. That's
basically all I remember. Can't
remember when or why they went to Stumps. Can't
remember what he was wearing. Probably jeans and work boots or
cowboy boots. Stump came by said Ronnie did not have a shirt on. ** A lady
saw Ronnie and told Church what color shirt he had on. Went to
Stumps and then can't remember where they went. Ate at 7:30
or 8:00. "We were
planning on going to bed early." Kim told Church they ate at 8:30. Left Stumps
and went to BiLo or Winn Dixie. Cancelled
check. Watched T.V.
at 8:30. Monroe asked
Ronnie how he could remember so well - nervous about being
interviewed. "Why were
you so nervous about being interviewed."
Circumstances of summer of '96 interview: SBI in
Jacksonville, NC - Ronnie met them at mall parking lot. Met Church
and Pendergrass. Followed them in his truck. Ronnie had a little
recorder. They talked
for 3 - 4 hours. Met at 12:00 and got out at 1600. Ronnie does
not think they were taping. Polygraph
guy came in later on. They tried to convince Ronnie to take
polygraph. They explained the machine to Ronnie. Polygraph
operator got mad when he realized no test would take place. Church
pulled out a manila folder - pics were pasted inside. 6 pics - one
was Neill Silverthorne and defendant. Other 4 were marines. Front
views and side views. ** Woman
supposedly identified defendant near his brother's house at 6:20
p.m. They told James Stump the same thing. Church told
Ronnie the woman identified his front view and side view and color
of car at a glance. Her husband was with her. She was the driver.
This was seven months later. Several
months after October, 1995, Agent Monroe came and took pics of
Ronnie. Monroe may have taken two sets of pics. This woman
had never seen defendant before in her life. Church told
Ron Kimble, Sr. they estimated Patricia's death at 6:15 p.m. General discussion with Ronnie.
