Greta: On The Record October 31, 2007 Anna Maria Domain Charles Doman Greta Van Susteren www.acandyrose.com Full Transcript HERE

Peterson called Anna at 1:00am 03/02/04, three hours after Kathleen was found dead and he already knew she drowned yet no autopsy or inquest had been done?

ILL

ANNA DOMAN (KATHLEEN SAVIO'S SISTER): Drew called me about one in the morning. - ANNA: He said Anna you up and I said yeah and he said I got really bad news. He said anybody home and I said yeah my boyfriends home and he said Kitty's dead. - ANNA: I dropped the phone. I was so upset and then I picked it up and I was crying and he said she drowned in the bathtub. I had no idea what happened. I called my other siblings and got in a car and went over. - GRETA: According to the death certificate which we have here it says it was an accident. Do you believe that? - ANNA: No. How does a healthy forty year old woman with no drugs in her system, no alcohol, pass out in the bathtub which is a little oval corner bathtub, a whirlpool tub, the bottoms not even big enough to stretch your legs out? And she's taller than me, I'm 5' 3" and she was about 5'5", 5'6". How did she scrunch down under the water? - GRETA: What did they say to you when you ask that? - ANNA: Well, she had to drown because she had water in her nasal cavity but they said she did, was trying to breath because of the way her lungs were, where the air was, I don't really understand that but they said she was trying to breath. I'm wondering if somebody gave her something and she passed out or I can't see how she stayed under the water. The tub is too small.

Topix forum poster states Peterson suggested Kathleen's current boyfriend got her on drugs

ILL

www.topix.com forum thread titled, "Man believes wife safe" by, "friend of a friend", Evanston, IL, #18 Nov 1, 2007, QUOTE: 1) Drew and Stacey actually started dating when she was 16, 2) They got married in a park as soon as the divorce was final (I believe it was within the week), 3) She was preggo was they married, 4) She has a muddled history with her family, bad relations and falling in out favor with them and vice verse, 5) The night that wife #3 was murdered, he was calm as a cucumber. He didn't act surprised and was saying that her current boyfriend had gotten her on drugs or that drugs might be involved somehow, 6) Stacey was freaking out that night, locked jaw, couldn't breathe, crying, sympathizing for the two boys

Topix forum poster states "He [Drew] would show up at Kathy's (third wife) house for visitation and would bring a camcorder."

ILL

www.topix.com, "Bolingbrook sergeant's house searched in wife's disappearance" by, "Neighbor" Mokena, IL, #34 Thursday Nov 1 [11/01/2007] QUOTE: "I'm Drew Petersons former neighbor and was still living on Pheasant Chase during his third wifes death in 2004. The investigation of Kathy's death was very weak and was hard to believe she drown in a bathtub. If you knew the amount of times the police were summoned to the home during the divorce, you would convict Drew Peterson immediatley. He was very calm and methodical but knew which buttons to push to throw Kathy over the edge. He would show up at Kathy's (third wife) house for visitation and would bring a camcorder. Kathy hated him so much, she would give him a hard time. In the meantime, he was trying to build his case against her using the camcorder as evidence of her bad behavior. The police sided with him of course. It was unbelievable. When she was found dead, not many of us were surprised. The finger was pointed immediately at Drew. He also had the nerve to show up at her funeral. I met Stacy before Kathy died, she seemed nice, but don't know much about her other than casual chat. Drew is a very low key, unassuming individual. It's kind of hard to believe he's capable but he has the knowledge and background to pull something like this off. By the way, he isn't a "well to do" indivudual. He gained from the life insurance policy at Kathy's death, and since the divorce was not finalized when she passed, the house went to him. He sold it for $350,000 immediately. Him and Stacy refused to live in their old house, so they purchased another home 2 blocks away."

SUE DOMAN, KATHLEEN SAVIO'S SISTER: I always thought that there was something wrong. Something was wrong. When I had first gotten the call that she was dead, my first reaction was, Did he kill her? - GRETA VAN SUSTEREN (HOST): I'm going to read for you the transcript that we've obtained, that Mark Fuhrman and Corey obtained for us from the coroner, at page six. And this is where you're quoted as saying, when you were asked a question about, "Is there anything else you'd like to add, ma'am?" And you respond, "Yes, I just — it's very difficult for my family because of my sister telling us all the time — and I can figure everyone, everything — one, that she has seen that if she would die, it may look like an accident, but it wasn't. She just told me last week, and she was just terrified of him. He always threatened her. He had her in the basement one time. He did many, many things to her. He wished only for her to go away."

"There are strong indications that it was a homicide"

ILL

"There are strong indications that it was a homicide," Glasgow said at a news conference about the death of Kathleen Savio, the former wife of Sgt. Drew Peterson. "That's why we're doing the exhumation, because there are tests that need to be done that weren't done during the first autopsy. Clearly, there are indications from the crime-scene photographs that are not consistent with an accident."

2007-11-09

chicagotribune.com November 10, 2007 Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow Speaks

"Consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide."

ILL

"I read the autopsy protocol," [Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow ] Glasgow said. "I read the inquest; I looked at the crime-scene photographs; and I looked at the photographs from the autopsy. And with 29 years of experience, there's no doubt in my mind it wasn't an accident. That was clear." Authorities suspect Savio may have been knocked unconscious elsewhere and then placed in the tub. In their petition, prosecutors wrote that the head wound "did not render her unconscious" and that "evidence is consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide." - ""The abrasions that were seen on her left buttock and her elbow are not the type of injuries that would occur on a smooth surface as those in the tub area," Glasgow said."

ILL

"The Will County State's Attorney plans to exhume the body of Kathleen Savio, the deceased third wife of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, and says she may have died in a homicide." - "Savio's family members believes the original coroner's report shows how a coroner's inquest became a miscarriage of justice. "We always believed she was murdered," Savio's sister, Anna Doman, said. "There was no way my sister was not murdered." And they believe Drew Peterson killed his ex-wife. But a six-member coroner's jury ruled Savio accidentally drowned in her bathtub." - "DuPage County's chief deputy coroner, Charlie Dastych also reviewed the autopsy report at CBS 2's request, and isn't so sure. "The injuries that are noted in the autopsy report definitely indicate there is evidence of suspicion that could be looked at, at a different level," Dastych said. "Evidence of a possible struggle."

Kathleen's body exhumed today

ILL

"The body of Kathleen Savio was exhumed early today (Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007) at Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery in Hillside. Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil and investigators from the Illinois State Police and the state’s attorney’s office were present during the exhumation." - "Kathleen Savio’s family, however, had requested a Roman Catholic priest be present. To respect the family’s wishes, the state’s attorney’s office contacted the Rev. Chris Groh, who is chaplain for the Joliet Police Department and a trusted member of Will County’s law enforcement community. Father Groh led a short prayer service at the gravesite. He was joined by the Rev. Patrick Pollard, Archdiocesan Director of Catholic Cemeteries for the Archdiocese of Chicago."

Autopsy: Dr. Larry Blum, Certified Forensic Pathologist

ILL

"Glasgow had Savio's body exhumed from Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside on Tuesday and re-examined by forensic pathologist Larry Blum. Savio's family then secured a court order to have an autopsy of their own performed, said Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil. The family then brought in Baden. But O'Neil said the remains were in good enough shape for Blum to get his job done. "The preservation was good enough for Dr. Blum to issue a valid report," O'Neil said."

WALTER LEE JAMES, JUROR AT SAVIO CORONER'S INQUEST: We were given evidence and photographs by the coroner at the time, and we were asked to review them and come to a conclusion as to the cause of death." - "We heard from a couple of the relatives. They came in prior to our reviewing the evidence. But they left the room, and then we were left to review the evidence at hand." - "we were only told to review the evidence at hand, and when we were through reviewing the evidence, come to a conclusion and then call the coroner in and tell him that we reached a conclusion." - "in reviewing the evidence at hand, we did decide that it was an accident due to the fact that we were laypeople and were not medical examiners or anything like that. So with the evidence that we had, we determined it wasn't natural, of course, and we — also being laypeople, we could not decide whether it was a homicide"

One panel member was a policeman who either knew Peterson personally or knew of him.

ILL

WALTER LEE JAMES, JUROR AT SAVIO CORONER'S INQUEST: "at the time, we were given three options to either come to a decision as to whether it was natural, homicide or accidental. We did not have at the time the option of determining "undetermined" status." - "there was a police officer on the panel, and he indicated at the time he knew or knew of Peterson. And he indicated to the panel that he thought that Peterson was a good policeman. He was charitable and helped his neighbors, and so on and so forth. So I think that — I think that might have influenced some of the panel members, but I don't know that for sure." - "I was kind of apprehensive with one photograph showing her face down in an empty tub. And there was a lot of blood remaining in the tub, and I just — I didn't — myself did not consider — it was inconsistent with drowning. I feel that the blood that was in the tub should have probably dissipated into the water and drained out with the water. But like I said, I'm not an expert forensic person, so as a layperson, that's just how I felt."

Peterson said Kathleen's best friend was upset and wanted to check on Kathleen that night so Drew said "we" called the locksmith

ILL

MATT LAUER: Another reason there's so much attention being paid to you, Mr. Peterson, is because of the circumstances surrounding the death of your third wife, Kathy Savio. She drowned in her bathtub, according to the report at the time, an accidental drowning back in 2004. However, at the time there was no water in the bathtub. Her hair was matted with blood and apparently there was a one-inch gash on the back of her head. Now state officials are saying that it looks like an accident staged to cover a murder. What was your impression at the time she died? Did you think it was an accident? - Mr. PETERSON: "I was one of the first people there. And I was actually the watch commander of our town at the time that it happened. And I went ahead and met with her best friend because I haven't seen her for a couple of days, which was very unlike her, to not be seen or heard from. So I was planning the next day to go into her home, you know, with her neighbor, and see if she was OK, but her neighbor was upset and her best friend was upset, same person. And she wanted to go in that night. So we called the locksmith, went into the house. I didn't go in the house. I waited outside. Her friend..."

ILL

MATT LAUER: Why didn't you go in the house? Mr. PETERSON: Kathy was always accusing me of things like she didn't want me in the house ever because she was afraid I was going to steal something. LAUER: But you're the police officer... Mr. PETERSON: Right. LAUER: ...the watch commander. Mr. PETERSON: Right, exactly. LAUER: And it's your job to investigate crimes if they've committed. Mr. PETERSON: That was Kathy. That was Kathy. LAUER: You just wouldn't go in the house. Mr. PETERSON: So when I heard screaming, I went inside and there she was in the bathtub. LAUER: What did you see? And did it look like an accidental drowning to you at that time? Mr. PETERSON: I felt the p--I didn't know if she was dead or live, so I felt her pulse and, you know, being a policeman, I basically didn't want to touch anything or disturb anything. LAUER: True or false: you ended up with a million payout life insurance policy you had on her? PETERSON: My children did, and the money is in a protected account for them when their older

"[Kathleen] Savio's sister Sue Doman said today [11/15/2007] on "Good Morning America" that the family had always been suspicious of Drew." - "Just the Thursday [02/26/2004] before she passed away [03/01/2004], she called me and she said — she just felt so strongly that that he [Drew Peterson] was going to kill her and it was going to look like an accident. Take care of the children,'" Doman said, recounting the conversation." - "[Sue] Doman also described another instance in which Drew allegedly grabbed Savio as she came down the stairs and held her by her throat at knife point. "And he threatened to kill her," Doman said. "And he didn't care if he died either. Doman is convinced that investigators examining her body will rule that Savio was murdered and was not the victim of an accidental death."

Key Clue Suspicion: Kathleen didn't bath with jewelry on and she was found in the tub with jewelry on.

DR. MICHAEL BADEN, FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST: Yes. Yes, speaking to Kathleen's father, who was next to me, and the rest of the family and going over what their concerns were and what they wanted to learn from the autopsy and how I was going to proceed. DR. MICHAEL BADEN: "Well, what I had learned was that the family had certain concerns because the way that Kathleen was in the bathtub and that she hadn't been heard from for some 36 hours before she — before the body was discovered, that her habit was to take off her jewelry and put her in her up before she took a bath, which wasn't done that time. So they had certain concerns that there were suspicious things in that bathtub."

"DR. MICHAEL BADEN: "There were five Illinois State Troopers who came down. One of them took photographs, took notes. We exchanged some information. There was a coroner, an administrative coroner, who was there, very helpful. We went over the X-rays." "DR. MICHAEL BADEN: "And it was a big, very nice autopsy room. They do about 500 autopsies a year in that room, so it's not a small operation. And when the autopsy was done two days ago, about 13 X-rays were taken, which I was able to review. They have an X-ray view box. They had the X-rays. No fractures. And when I did the examination, there were no fractures on the body." "DR. MICHAEL BADEN: "To a reasonable degree of medical certainty is the standard we usually use. It's my opinion to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that it's a homicide, and that's what I would have put down on the death certificate."

"Henry Savio dropped a red rose on his daughter's white casket during an emotional funeral service this week as Kathleen Savio was returned to her grave. Other family members and friends somberly followed suit, adding roses wreathed with baby's breath to the new casket that was reinterred Monday [11/19/2007] at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside. The private service attended by about 30 relatives and close friends came six days after Savio's body was exhumed as part of a new investigation into her mysterious 2004 death. Savio's relatives hope the exhumation will allow authorities to prove what family members have long suspected — that she was murdered — and to build a case against her killer." - "It's heartbreaking.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: "And I should tell the viewers that after you called me with this — and frankly, I missed it, and I thought it was extraordinary - - good work, Mark — but we went back and looked at the transcript from the coroner's jury, the one from May 1. And just so that the viewers know, is that the Illinois State Police, Herbert Hardy, was testifying, and he says, in part, "The only thing we're waiting for now is some phone records, to find out if certain phone calls were made when they said they were made." - "There's another part where even a coroner's juror member said to the witness, to the Illinois State Police witness, "Are they verifying the phone records, correct, that the calls were made?" The witness, "Yes, those take quite a while to get. So yes, we've got phone records coming from her phone, his phone, Steve's phone and the rest of it. So yes, we still have to verify that."

Greta: On The Record December 14, 2007 Greta Van Susteren and Mark Furhman

Greta's followup on Pastor Schori was that Peterson told Stacy the "very night" he killed Kathleen

ILL

MARK FUHRMAN, FORMER LAPD HOMICIDE DETECTIVE: Greta I'll start at the beginning. We have to take ourselves back to February 29, 2004, that Sunday night into the early morning hours of March 1st, that was a Monday. Now Kathleen Savio was found Monday night at 11:17 p.m. almost midnight. Just prior to that we heard on Monday [12/10/2007], we heard Pastor Schori tell you that Stacy actually confided in him that Drew Peterson had actually confessed that he killed Kathleen and of course you followed up then and he said Stacy told him that very night [Sunday 02/29/2004 - Monday 03/01/2004]. Now I've got sources that later in the week we found out she woke up in the middle of the night and there were numerous times she tried to find Drew in the house and she couldn't find him. She yelled out for him, she called him on the cell phone numerous times, described in almost excessively, he never answered. Where was Drew?"

Stacy found him in basement dressed in black putting his clothes in washer. He also had bag of woman's cothing.

ILL

MARK FUHRMAN, FORMER LAPD HOMICIDE DETECTIVE: "I believe it's absolutely corroborated that Stacy told Pastor Schori that day [August 2007] that in that time when she finally found Drew in the house [03/01/2004], she heard him, he was downstairs by the washing machine, she saw him, he was standing there in all black, stripping down and putting his clothes into the washing machine. He also had a bag in his hand that he emptied that was woman's clothes and he looks at her and he starts telling her, explaining to her in several hours the police are going to be here and they are going to ask a lot of questions and I'm going to tell you what to say. It will be a perfect crime." - "We know several things about her [Kathleen], she didn't wear jewelry in the bathtub, she didn't wear it in the shower and she didn't wear it swimming because she felt she had a reaction on her skin when it was wet. She didn't have her hair down.

Nancy Grace Show December 25, 2007 Michael Lisak said his Aunt showed himself and his mother the video taping that Stacy filmed from that day (May 26, 2002)

Apparently Drew brought Stacy with him this day to return the kids to Kathleen and Stacy was video taping from the car.

ILL

MIKE BROOKS, FORMER D.C. POLICE, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Now, there was an incident, was there not, where Kathleen and Stacy were both in the car together with Drew, can you tell us about that? - MICHAEL LISAK, KATHLEEN SAVIO`S NEPHEW: "Well, this happened probably a year before my aunt was found dead. What happened was I think they were still going through the divorce, and Drew came by my aunt`s house to either pick up the kids or drop them off. I don`t remember what the story was. But either way he came over to the house and went into the house to talk to my aunt and he let it be known that Stacy was in the car waiting. And my aunt was a very opinionated person." - "Drew from what I remember him being all the time, he was a very cocky person, he wasn`t shy of saying what he wanted to say, that`s just his attitude. He didn`t care. And he basically told her some way or other that she was in the car and my aunt totally was not for the kids being around her at that time. And, you know, she was a very opinionated person like I said so she went outside to tell her, I don`t want you around my kids, get out of here. And while she went outside Stacy was in the car with a video camera already rolling."

And I saw the video firsthand. My aunt showed me and my mom this. Drew tackled my Aunt Kathleen and pinned her to the ground, put a knee to the back of her head." - "Yeah, it`s sick. It`s sick. I mean she`s screaming please help me, somebody help me, somebody help me, and Stacy gets out of the car and continues to videotape this while Drew was on the cell phone calling the police department that she assaulted Stacy." - "I mean, that`s really what happened. From what I saw on the video firsthand, my aunt never touched Stacy. I mean, she went at her and said some words that I think she had a right to."

Savio Autopsy results delayed due to toxicology tests

ILL

"The results of toxicology tests being done on the body of Kathleen Savio are taking longer than normal because of the complexity of requested tests. “Following the autopsy conducted Nov. 13 on Kathleen Savio by independent pathologist Dr. Larry Blum, toxicology testing was requested on various samples,” said Patrick O’Neil, Will County coroner. About a month later, O’Neil said, Blum requested additional toxicology testing that O’Neil said were “exotic” and “very complicated.” The complexity of the testing, coupled with the December request, has pushed back the anticipated release of the full autopsy report, he said."

In the petition, Doman and her brother allege that Carroll, Drew Peterson's uncle, breached his duty to protect the interests of the estate by turning control of Savio's assets to her ex-husband."

02/1/2008 (http://www.chicagotribune.com) "Drew Peterson may be sued by siblings of ex-wife who was found dead in bathtub" "Two of Kathleen Savio's siblings filed a petition in Will County civil court Thursday seeking to reopen the estate of their sister in preparation for a lawsuit against her former husband, Drew Peterson. Savio's brother Henry and her sister Anna Marie Doman are "prepared to initiate a wrongful death cause of action against Drew Peterson on behalf of the estate of Kathleen Savio," the petition states." "The Savio siblings' petition cited Glasgow's allegation as one of the reasons behind their request to reopen the estate. It also mentioned the findings of Dr. Michael Baden, a noted pathologist, who conducted a private autopsy on the remains in November and concluded Savio's death was a homicide. And the petition noted statements made by Neil Shori, Stacy Peterson's pastor, who in December told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren that Stacy said she feared for her life and that her husband had killed Savio." "The petition, filed by Joliet attorney Lawrence Varsek, asks the court to grant permission to Kelly to represent the family since he [John Q. Kelly] is not certified to practice law in Illinois." "The brother and sister also asked that their father, Henry Savio, not be named executor. "He is unfit to serve due to hostility in that he has had no relationship with any of the children while they were growing up, including the decedent ... and first met his grandchildren at the funeral of Kathleen, and has no relationship with them," the petition stated."

Savio, which sought to block the father from being named executor of the estate. The petitions are a first step toward filing a wrongful death lawsuit, attorneys said."Peterson described the Jan. 31 petition as a baseless attempt to profit from Savio's death, and on Thursday his attorney, Joel Brodsky, scoffed at the second petition.

"The news left Peterson dumbfounded. “You’re kidding me,” said the embattled ex-cop moments after the results of the autopsy conducted on his third wife, Kathleen Savio, were released. “Unbelievable,” he said. “That’s hard to believe.” He then excused himself, saying, “I got to make a bunch of calls.” He said he is prepared to go to jail if the police show up at his door to arrest him. “Let them do it,” Peterson said. “Everything’s ready. Everything’s in place. “Let them do their thing,” he added, almost daring police and prosecutors to pull the trigger on charges. “The thing is, do what you got to do,” he said defiantly. “You roll the dice, I’ll roll the dice.”

02/21/2008 (suburbanchicagonews.com) "Peterson's 3rd wife's death ruled a homicide" "Savio’s niece, Melissa Doman of Romeoville, said she was “bouncing” around with excitement after learning her aunt’s case finally was going the way her family had wanted since the spring of 2004. “It’s something that should have been done the right way almost four years ago,” Doman said. “It would have been done the right way if people listened.” She felt if her aunt’s case was given its due attention, Stacy might still be alive. “It’s something that was right there in front of their faces,” Doman said. “It’s happy yet sad — It pisses me off. Seriously. Stacy was 23 years old. She hadn’t lived her life yet.”

Kathleen Savio: "Several time, he has restrained me, held me down, knocked me into a walls, came after me with a poker, ripped my necklace off, left marks on my body all the time. Threatened to steal the kids, and desert me. Put dead bolt on door, he broke through it." [03/11/2002 Petition for 14 Day Emergency Order of Protection (Case No: 2002 OP 000460 Will Co, IL]

Why did Drew Peterson need an alibi if Kathleen Savio's death was an accidential drowning? Drew Peterson was one of the first cops on the scene http://gretawire.foxnews.com (Page 9) November 23rd, 2007 4:42 PM Eastern, GretaCast - OTR PRODUCER GETS AMBULANCE REPORT! LISTEN HERE!!!, by Greta Van Susteren - (acandyrose.com HERE listening to audio file:"Report: "Dispatched to the above for signs of life, upon arrival met by PD officer stated response for well being check, (Steph: "that's interesting") and found the patient unresponsive in the tub. Heard PD and neighbors last seen Saturday evening. On assessment, found patient on left side in bathtub with wet hair and molting and pooling to the right shoulder and left elbow. Blood dried and coagulated on bottom of tub. Patient cold to touch. Placed on EEG on ???." (Steph: "Baden's looking at that.") And it's got, "turned over to PD", that PD officer would have been Drew Peterson because at that time there was no police there and the well being check doesn't go with the story we've told. He [Baden] also thought it was interesting that there was dried and coagulated blood in the bottom of the tub so Dr. Baden has a copy of this and he's looking over that now and he's going to talk about it on the show tonight. I'm working on getting the crime scene photos to Baden because he would like to look at them for his final report on his autopsy that he did for the family." (www.acandyrose.com NOTE: February 2004 was a LEAP year so Saturday was 02/28/2004, Sunday was 02/29/2004 and Monday was 03/01/2004) 11/16/2007 Dr. Michael Baden, Forensic Pathologist Goes 'On the Record' with Greta VAN SUSTEREN: What conclusion did you reach as to the manner of death after doing the autopsy? DR. MICHAEL BADEN, FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST: That was a homicide. VAN SUSTEREN: Any doubt in your mind whatsoever that it's a homicide? BADEN: "To a reasonable degree of medical certainty is the standard we usually use. It's my opinion to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that it's a homicide, and that's what I would have put down on the death certificate." 11/24/2007 America's Most Wanted featured Stacy Missing story "Ric Mims [former friend of Drew Peterson] revealed a secret to us with potential major ramifications. He told us when Kathleen Savio was found dead in the bathtub that Drew [Peterson] told the cops he had an alibi." RIC MIMS: "He [Drew Peterson] mentioned to me that he was with the kids and that Stacy was his alibi. 'I told him sucks to be you now because Stacy's gone and they're re-opening the case.' I mean if she ran away, and that's your alibi, you're kind of screwed." 12/10/2007 Stacy Peterson's Pastor Goes 'On the Record' with Greta Van Susteren (FoxNews) NEIL SCHORI, PASTOR STACY CONFIDED IN: "Well, I try not to push people into an area that they're uncomfortable, and I gave her [Stacy] — I gave her an out. I said, If you'd like to share it with me, I'm here to hear it, I said, but there's no pressure. You don't have to feel like you have to share anything you're not comfortable with. So if you are — if you are comfortable, please share it. And we talked about various other things, and then she blurted out the reason." NEIL SCHORI: "I believed, unfortunately, that it was exactly what I thought, and I believed that it was related to the death of his wife. But I clarified, and I said, He did what? And she said, He killed Kathleen. And I was really blown away. I was reeling inside." NEIL SCHORI: "I asked for more specific things. She gave me details that I really can't share. But I just got her talking about it and asked her what — this is a crazy amount of information. Again, I asked her, What exactly can I do with this? Why did you tell me? I asked her if she had ever told anyone else. She said at the time, she had never told another person."
