During the attack, when Sarah packer was out of the room, Sullivan said he rubbed Grace’s back and tried to make her feel better. “I still don’t feel like I was being malicious,” he told detectives.

If you’re coming back to the hot attic 12 hours later and finding Grace still alive, he told detectives that he strangled her but tried to ease her fear.“Just go honey, just go,” he told her, according to the tape. “It’s OK honey it’s time to go.”
