Receipt cast serious doubt on philip barr s alibi didn t exactly wreck it, but it caught him in a significant lie. that s how detailed we were getting. but then they just happened to run into a guy who said he knew barr and mcmannis and peewee. and he overheard them talking about killing this girl. he heard david mcmannis say, we shouldn t have done that girl that way. if i don t get out of town, i m gonna spend the rest of my life in jail. phillip barr said something similar because peewee is talking about, well, i ve only seen a body. it s not against the law to see see a body. and barr tells him, hey, shut up. we re all gonna end up in prison. and it was somebody with credibility. better than what we had before, yeah. but overall, a key problem remained. terrible witnesses. meaning detectives spoke with other people who d also heard the men talk about the murder, but they were not the type a jury would likely believe. much of what they d say sounded like d
