I found it quite odd that Barrows, who spoke better Spanish than English,could identify a New England accent. Something strange about that,IMO.
I was of the same mind until I heard the recording of Barrows describing the crime on the ABC site. His English is 100% native to my (trained) ear. You can hear that he knows Spanish, probably natively, too, by his pronunciation of "Anna Maria." He switches fluently between English/Spanish phonics. His English sounds like a Midwestern accent--which would contrast quite noticeably with a New Eng one--but I'm not so great at identifying those specifically. (Can't imagine why his English sounds as it does, given the background they detail.)
Listen and tell me what you think!
