This follow-up interview with the witness, Victor Bledsoe, was conducted by Detectives S. Murphy and T. Armstrong at theYoknapatawpha County Sheriff’s Department, and was recorded on a portable audio tape recorder with the witness' knowledge and consent.
TA= Detective T. Armstrong
SM= Detective S. Murphy
VB= Victor Bledsoe
SM: Thank you for coming in Mr. Bledsoe. Would you please state your name and address for the record?
VB: Is this really necessary Detective? This is the third time I’ve been in here, and it appears to me that you are no closer to finding the killer. What is interviewing me going to do? How can I help? All this looks like to me is busy work, to justify your jobs.
TA: We are getting closer and closer all the time Mr. Bledsoe, would you please state your name and address for the record?
VB: Victor Bledsoe, 310 Lewis Lane.
SM: Thank you Mr. Bledsoe. You stated before that Amy didn’t ask you to come pick her up the evening she was murdered.
VB: Yes, she didn’t call.
TA: You also said that you were in all evening.
VB: Yes, I was in all evening. Detectives, are you going to rehash every question and answer from the previous interviews?
TA: Just making sure we had your answers right, and you hadn’t changed your mind.
VB: I haven’t changed my mind and my answers were correct.
SM: Are you sure about that?
VB: Yes.
TA: Then perhaps you can tell us why your vehicle was parked up the street from you ex-wife’s house the night Amy was murdered?
VB: What? What are you talking about?
SM: Your vehicle was parked up the street from the house. You do own a 2003 red Lexus with license plate number WRW-933?
VB: Well, yes I do, but anyone who says they saw it is trying to set me up for something.
TA: We have it from a reliable source you were there, in your car, watching the house. Why? Did you kill your daughter Amy?
VB: No! I... I was there, on the street, but I never went to the door.
SM: What were you doing there?
VB: I loved my daughter very much Detective.
SM: That doesn’t explain why you were there.
VB: If you remember what I said about not being able to spend much time with her, it does. I just wanted to be around her, if I can’t be with my daughter, I wanted to at least be around her.
TA: What time were you there, and did you see her?
VB: I was there from about 7-8, before I left. I didn’t see Amy.
TA: Did you see any vehicle come or go while you were there?
VB: No, I didn’t see anyone come or go. I don’t really remember any vehicles on the street.
TA: Was there any activity at the house? Lights on? People at the door?
VB: I didn’t see anyone come to the door. There were lights on in the house, looked like they were from Mary’s room and from Amy’s room. I want to say the garage light was on for a little bit, but not sure. I wasn’t paying too much attention to lights.
SM: When you left, where did you go?
VB: I ... ummmm...I went to a friend’s house.
SM: A friend? Who would that be?
VB: Her name is Nancy Wu. She was misplaced by Hurricane Katrina, and we became friends.
TA: How good of friends?
VB: Very good. We spent a lot of time together. She helps me to deal with this whole situation. She is very understanding.
TA: Does your wife know?
VB: I think she know’s something is going on, but doesn’t want to admit it.
SM: What time did you get home?
VB: I got home around 11.
TA: If we talked with Miss Wu would she coo berate your story?
VB: Yes, she would.
SM: Anything else you want to tell us? Anything you’ve forgotten? Or lied to us about?
VB: No, there is nothing else.
TA: Well, thank you again Mr. Bledsoe.
