the exact truth, we are going to get these guys. but pam said she still couldn t spit it out. i was kind of staggering through what was going on. well, there was two. maybe there was three. because i didn t know. i was terrified for my life. still. and i didn t know what i should have said. what about their police interrogations? when their stories didn t match. i thought their gloves were one color. she thought their gloves were another color. other than that our stories were basically the same. they both cooperated fully, said roger. kept talking for days. even as police brought up one accusation after another. there was an inheritance involved. yes. and you talked about that with the police? i may have. i m not sure. well, according to them you talked about it. and it provided one of the classic motivations that children have for killing their parents.
julie told us she did not use those specific words, but she said the family was advised by their attorney not to use kay s money to pay for roger s defense. which meant that roger, who stood to inherit a big chunk of his dad s millions, would have to rely on a public defender. were he and pam diabolical killers as detectives and their own family had come to believe? of course, we and everybody else just had to know. coming up roger and pam face some tough questions. as the interrogation was continuing, your stories didn t stay the same. according to the police, at least. when dateline continues. t. when dateline continues there s a better choice. aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid and the 12-hour pain-relieving strength of aleve. that dares to last into the morning. so you feel refreshed. aleve pm. there s a better choice.
i couldn t believe that you could love somebody and do that to them. even if i thought roger had done it, i would not have abandoned him. and they did? absolutely they did. not only did they abandon him, they crucified him. months dragged by. roger and pam were headline news in utah. but in the absence of definitive physical evidence linking them to kay s murder, they remained free. day by day they went about their business, as if their lives were still quite normal. then on july 28th, 2010 utah county prosecutor tim taylor took a dramatic step to break the logjam. he presented the case against roger and pam to a grand jury. so why call the grand jury? why not just charge them? we thought the grand jury was a great tool to force them to come in to talk. it was a secret proceeding. no defendants, no defense attorney. only prosecutors, police, smebz
when i got done with the prayer we both sat down, and their demeanor changed at that point. one of them looked at us and says, well, we ve decided we re not going to kill you. we ve decided that we re going to tell you a story you that need to relay to the police. but was that story that the intruders told them to say? that three black men with ski masks invaded the house. lee, not two, as they actually were. black, not white as they actually were. and then, said roger, they took his survivor s license, told him he d know if he or pam ever told the truth, and if that happened they d hunt him down and they d kill him. and then the two men left. roger and pam waited a while, got out of the zip ties, and roger ran upstairs while pam dialed 911 and was on the phone with the rorptd when roger found his father in the upstairs bathroom. and i saw my father kneeling over the bathtub.
