He'd just get to where he wouldn't deny it.
1:15:02
He posted his bond and went to Germany.
1:15:06
We had a crime
with basically the same M.O. As his...

1:15:09
and so it led me to want to check
and see if he was in town.

1:15:13
I contacted the Worldwide Military Locator...
1:15:16
to see if, through the military,
I could locate him.

1:15:19
I did, and found out
that he was in prison at the time.

1:15:23
He really didn't remember what happened.
1:15:24
He said he woke up in the stockade...
1:15:27
and he'd been told that he beat up
one of his ranking officers.

1:15:30
We had another occasion
to have a crime that fit his M.O. A lot...

1:15:34
so I started looking for him again,
and this time...

1:15:37
I found him in prison in California.
1:15:39
So I realized again that unfortunately,
he hadn't straightened up.

1:15:42
He was still having a lot of problems.
1:15:52
I was 16 years old.
1:15:55
I really didn't have no real dealings
with the court systems, etc.

1:16:00
Didn't know how they worked, really.
1:16:03
Didn't know much about the law.
1:16:06
Just a young, dumb kid.
1:16:09
Police give you the time of this
and the time this happened...

1:16:13
and you just correlate from those events.
1:16:15
You just estimate from that event
what time it was.

1:16:19
You don't know.
1:16:21
You're taking a guess.
1:16:24
Police tell you, "It was 12:30
when this crime happened.

1:16:34
"What time did you leave the movie?"
1:16:36
"I know it was somewhere around midnight.
1:16:44
"It might have been before then.
I don't know.

1:16:46
"I didn't have a watch on."
1:16:59
He went over my testimony with me
pretty extensively.
