with tape rolling, jim huden freely agreed to being in washington at the time of the crime, to meeting russel douglas there and to being a lousy, two-timing husband, but that s where jim huden drew the line. i m a son of a but no killer. i m a [ expletive ]. for nearly an hour, it covered old ground with few interruptions with detectives in las vegas who were at that very moment grilling huden s girlfriend peggy thomas. peggy was my guide out there? i would be surprised if it was any different than mine. and he was right, like jim, peggy wasn t giving the police anything in her interview. so detective mike beach decided to shake things up.
where peggy worked? where peggy worked, yes. so peggy knew all about this? she helped him. for five months bill hill says he struggled under the weight of that confession and then in late july 2004 his conscience finally got the better of him. i decided to make my first call. your first call? to whidbey island. to the police. yes. to the island county sheriff s i felt guilty i was giving up my friend, but i knew something had to be done. within days of that call detectives mark plumberg and mike beach were sitting face-to-face with both their tipster bill hill and their suspect, the artist formerly known as buck naked. coming up, the interrogation gets tough. you know what you told bill. the guy is falling apart over the guilt he s carrying around because you told him what you did.
