No. The large butcher knife had the prints. The smaller steak knife had blood on all sides halfway up the handle.Is the knife that had fingerprints on the blade the same knife that had blood on all four sides of the handle? TIA!
Lezahs reporting as a layman is far better than any of the professional reporting from the courtroom, IMO. Its very informative, detailed, and truthful.
Thank you, Lezah!
Fabulous post! Fills in some gaps beyond "Dude just doesn't sound right on that call," which is where I have been stuck for years!
My first reaction was that RZ was strangled/killed in the guest house. If one listens to both AS entire polygraph/interview and 911 call, there's obvious disparity. I believe AS first conversation on this day was with JS and NOT 911 operator. Also think RZ was cut down before the 911 call and not during the call. Let's never forget the guest house was not considered the "crime scene" by investigators and no evidence collected.
bbm I don't think it needs an expert if AS is going to testify. It only takes a few questions from Mr Greer and the recording of the call placed into evidence and played to the jury.
Mr S, you were sure in your call that emergency services responded to your nephew "yesterday". Isn't it true that in your mind Max's accident happened "yesterday" because you did not sleep the night of Rebecca's murder? You went back to the guest house and waited for daylight to pretend that you discovered Rebecca's death.
Why did you need to say you took Ambien and you just woke up, if Rebecca's death was a suicide? Was it to impress upon everybody that you had been sleeping if they concluded she was murdered?
Those are the questions I would ask him.
Totally agree JS was called before 911. It also explains why AS supposedly texted JS to inform him of her death, and why JS was already spinning up the 'Asian honor' thing. The text was most likely a prop, or a confirmation she was dead after the initial call.
And whoa on the possibility the guest house was the crime scene! That could explain the lack of forensic evidence in the upstairs room and balcony. And if the "suicide" was actually almost fully staged down on the lawn, it would explain why there wasn't sufficient damage to RZ's neck for a 9'2" drop. It could also at least partly explain the weirdo note on the door. If the killer's primary objective was to make the room upstairs look like the place RZ prepared to kill herself ... to take the attention away from the guest house ... the note painted on the door would add an extra flair and point of interest for the investigators.
Dear all, I posted a link yesterday to a manual of statement analysis, ( including 911) but its dissapeared...was it removed? Are we not allowed to post links to articles ( its just an internet link available free)...can someone let me know? I dont want to break any rules! Also, I had a message, replied, but everything has dissapeared....oh dear! Im a technightmare on here!! Any advice is welcome!
I was the first to reply to your link and my post is gone too, perhaps because I quoted it? It seemed OK to me, because it was stating the results of a study of 911 calls, but there must be something Im missing. Perhaps because its a book and not mainstream media. :dunno: Why dont you either contact a mod or alert on this post and ask.
If I get enough notice I will take time off and attend court during AS testimony and post details....
Thankyou very much for that, it must have been an issue. It’s fine, I will leave it as is. Glad you got to see the details of the way the calls are analyzed! It’s really interesting! Thanks for taking the time to help me.
Thinking about it more, Lezah, I dont believe that statement analysis is an approved source on WS. I had forgotten that in my enthusiasm for your source. Although this was a well-researched chapter in the book, so often statement analysis is not. Neither is body language analysis, and whether someones facial expression leaks lies. Thankfully, WS tries to stay on the side of provable facts, which makes it a great atmosphere, rather than anything goes sites. Hope that helps. (But I did enjoy reading that link. Food for thought.)

So, how does it work when the podcast/interview is available? Does Tricia post a link here or do we just keep refreshing her Blog Talk Radio page? Presumably, she doesn't do these interviews live... I'm very eager to hear what Atty. Greer has to say!
