:12:05
When we started putting facts together
on how much information we had...

:12:10
from the leads we had,
we found out we didn't have anything.

:12:15
The only thing that we knew
we were looking for was a blue Vega.

:12:20
Probably every Vega that was
registered in the state of Texas...

:12:24
was stopped and checked.
:12:27
We had people calling the office...
:12:30
saying, "I've got a Vega and it's not blue.
:12:33
"But would you come out
and be sure to check it.

:12:35
"Be sure it's not mine, because
I don't want to get stopped anymore.

:12:39
"I'm afraid."
:12:45
If you're the investigator
assigned to the murder...

:12:48
you get frustrated with other witnesses.
:12:50
But when you got a police officer
that witnessed it...

:12:53
you expect that they would know
a little more than she knew.

:12:58
Procedure.
:12:59
When there's a two-person unit,
when either one approaches the car...

:13:02
the other positions himself
to the right rear...

:13:05
where they can watch
all the activity in the car.

:13:08
And if the man on the left of the driver
gets in trouble...

:13:12
their partner is in a position to help.
:13:16
Speculation was, at the time...
:13:19
that his partner was sitting in the car.
:13:42
That's where the discrepancies were.
:13:45
Just a matter of time, and whether
or not she was out of the car...

:13:49
completely out of the car,
or partially in the car...

:13:52
or just sitting in there with the door closed.
:13:56
And the thing I think we did then
that really helped...
