and our relationship that without a shadow of a doubt, i was 100% behind her. i did feel strongly about supporting him. there is just no chance that he had anything to do with it. but the importance of the seattle woman s story for the defense was that she too had had a lengthy phone call with ryan that finished just six minutes before he called jennifer crew in iowa. the call in which he allegedly confessed to killing his wife. melissa waller said ryan was perfect composed when she spoke to him for almost two hours that night. how do you know he was not drunk? he was not upset? every phone conversation i ve had he s never been intoxicated or emotionally distraught. i knew all the times i talked to him he was never drunk or upset. melissa waller was convinced that jennifer crew made up the whole story. i was shocked that somebody would go under oath on stand and lie. but still, had the defense paid a price by putting yet another woman on the stand?
she was scared, actually. she was upset. if the jury believed jennifer crew s story, ryan widmer was sunk. so, the defense called a witness to refute the iowa woman s story about an emotional call that night from ryan. and it was another woman who became interested in ryan widmer s case after seeing our first dateline report. melissa waller from seattle, like jennifer crew from iowa, struck up a phone and e-mail relationship with ryan in the fall of 2009. she said she was drawn to his case after the death of her sister-in-law. how often do you think you guys talked? three times a week. sometimes more, sometimes less. we talked about sarah a lot. he was having a really, really hard time accepting everything. melissa s husband supported her friendship with ryan. was it a little out there? yeah, but i m so comfortable with her and our relationship that without a shadow of a doubt, i was 100% behind her.
