TRANSCRIPT OF
INTERVIEW WITH KAYLEE'S MOM, DAD AND SISTER - PART 1
4 December.
Mom - I know she was hurt. Hurt so bad that she is not able to recover. That is just terrible.
Sister - I know, it's okay.
Mom - It's terrible. I cannot fathom in my head what kind of person did this.
Dad - Who's capable of this.
Mom - And why?. I can't sleep at night. I lay in bed pondering just millions of different scenarios and just.. I want to know, but there's stuff you obviously don't want to know, you know?, but I think I want to know it all and..
Sister - You're ok.
Mom - I just don't understand why. How somebody could take somebody.. the 4, 4 of them, it wasn't just my girl just so savagely.. (a definite cut in video at this point).
Entin - Is anyone acting differently since the murders?. I mean, is there anyone that you have a weird feeling about?. That the girls knew or that comes to mind?.
.
Sister - Yeah, I would say, not in the immediate circle by any means, but a few of the names that have been circulating around, I think it's hard not to kind of, you know, dig into this and I don't know how much of that is just because we have so little information from law enforcement and how much of it really is, you know, a sister or a father's intuition.
Entin - Can you elaborate at all?. You don't have to give a name, but I mean, is it someone that she knew or..?
Mom - I have something to say about that. I just feel like there's been a couple of individuals that were cleared very fast that maybe they shouldn't but, and, yeah..
Dad - Share the strong alibi, if you can just dismiss..
Mom - ..just really fast, just, you know, an hour later and we're like 'what?' and, I don't know. I don't know anything about those individuals. I just know they were people that definitely should have been looked at and yeah.
Dad - I don't know what would prevent you from sharing somebody's alibi.
Sister - Yeah, I think that's what we're struggling with. So it's like, you know, we know what we know. We've fought for J., Kaylee's boyfriend and, you know, we still stand that way. So, I did just kind of want to clear that up while we're talking through this ambiguity that, you know, that's not what we're honing in on here.
Mom - No, it's not.
Dad - We don't want to make more victims out of innocent people.
Sister - Exactly.
Dad - We definitely don't want to do that.
Entin - You've mentioned before that you didn't want to have a funeral right now because the killer's still out there. Is that something that you're still thinking about?. Are you nervous at all?. I mean, because in Moscow we talked to students. People are really nervous there.
Dad - They should be.
Sister - Yeah.
Dad - Targeted to me seems behaviour based. That's why I don't like it and it kind of pits the parents against each other, so, I don't like that. I just told some of the other parents today that 'if your daughter.. no ill will from me man'. To me, if you go have a couple of beers or go out and hang out with your friends and then come home and go to bed, if that's your target, then I think we all do that. I think we all come home and go to our beds.
Mom - That makes us all targets.
Dad - Yeah, so it..
Entin - So, it's kind of a bad word then?. I mean, it doesn't really make sense in some ways.
Dad - Exactly.
Entin - In the past you have told me that. You said 'I think it was kind of a weird word to choose'.
Dad - Yeah, I mean, it makes sense if there was some bad behaviour that they did. Let's say they came from a strip club or something and then somebody followed them home. That's a targeted thing. That's what comes.. I've had innocent people that were interviewed that were their neighbours and they said 'I'd be a lot more scared if it wasn't targeted, because I'm not doing anything to target me', and I'm like 'well, if targeting is just going to bed with your friend...'.
Entin - So, maybe that was just a way to calm people down?.
Dad - I feel like it was strategic.
Sister - Yeah.
Dad - It was a strategic way to keep people from hitting the door, transfering out and turning that place into a ghost town.
Sister - You never think you're going to lose your little sister. Never. You never think you're going to have to bury you daughter.
Mom - Absolutely unbelievable. It's nothing, nothing compared to the way that I feel and I don't know if.. I mean, it's several things, it's her age, it's how it happened. Why it happened. Who did this to her?.
Dad - It's her life.. just graduating.
Mom - Who did this to her and her friends. The fact that she was with her best friend. I mean, since they were little girls.
