- Detective S. Murphy
- Detective E. Parker
- Greg Shepard
Detective Murphy: Would you please state your name and address for the record?
Greg Shepard: My name is Greg Shepard, and I live where you're standing, 1263 Horne Road.
Detective Murphy: Where were you on Saturday evening?
Greg Shepard: Up on the roof, cleaning out the gutters. I'm originally from up north, and clearing the gutters every autumn is a habit I've never broken.
Detective Parker: Did you happen to see Kurt Grubman that evening?
Greg Shepard: Sure. The whole family went for a bike ride: him, his wife, their little girl. You don't see many families spending time together like that.
Detective Parker: Do you know what time that was?
Greg Shepard: I don't know what time they left, but they got back home after dark. I used my flashlight to lead them up the walk.
Detective Murphy: Did you see anybody leave the house after that?
Greg Shepard: Not that I noticed, but I would have been stretched out on the couch with a beer on my chest. I'm not as young as I used to be.
Detective Murphy: Thanks for your time.
Sally Mines
Sally Mines lives across the street from the Grubman family.
Participants:
- Detective S. Murphy
- Detective E. Parker
- Sally Mines
Detective Murphy: Would you please state your name and address for the record?
Sally Mines: Sally Mines. 1264 Horne Road.
Detective Murphy: Where were you on Saturday evening?
Sally Mines: I was at work until 11:00 p.m. and home by midnight. I got out of work around the same time the pep rally let out. Traffic was a nightmare.
Detective Parker: It took you an hour?
Sally Mines: I don't remember exactly how long it was. I just know it was a long time and that I was definitely home at midnight.
Detective Parker: Fair enough. Do you know the Grubmans?
Sally Mines: Sure enough. Arriving home as late as I do, I like to know what cars don't belong in the neighborhood. I passed a Grubman heading out.
Detective Parker: Could you identify the driver?
Sally Mines: Not nearly. The only reason I remember is the car drove without lights until almost the end of the street.
Detective Murphy: Do you remember which of their cars you saw?
Sally Mines: I don't know. I'm not very good with cars.
Detective Parker: Thank you for your time.
