So where is Pam's police interview?
I see this one transcribed on the WM3 board for Terry, but none for Pam.

Pam was not interviewed by the police except during the investigation on May 5 and 6 of 1993. To my knowledge, none of the mothers were. The only parent actually interviewed as a suspect was JMB. However, as a result of the Pasdar lawsuit, TH was interviewed by the [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFXsWO9OBMg]police[/ame] and deposed by the
Pasdar attorneys because he filed suit against Natalie Maines Pasdar and the Dixie Chicks for defamation of character. As part of those proceedings, Pam gave a
declaration . AFAIK, that is the only legal statement we have from Pam.
Was further testing done to rule the fibers found in Hobbs' knife in or out in terms of matching the shoelaces?
Unfortunately, the further testing promised in the link you provided has not been made public to my knowledge. The preliminary testing, to which you provided a link, indicates that the fibers in the Hobbs knife cannot be distinguished from the fibers in the shoelace binding Michael Moore. I'm confident that the testing was done and is part of the information yet to be released in this case. I'm equally confident that Ellington's office would not release the fiber report if it proved a match and also that they would release the testing had it proved that the lace binding Michael were
not a match to the fibers in the Hobbs knife. Since the defense turned over the report to Ellington (per his request in 2011), it's really in Ellington's hands.
I'd also like to add that I believe that the reason that Pam and her family didn't make their concerns public prior to 2007 is that they trusted the judicial system and trusted that the correct people were incarcerated for the crime. They are simple people, not wont to disbelief in authorities. I would imagine that their attitude toward the police has changed as a result of this case, however.
It was only when the mtDNA revelations were made public that their initial suspicions of TH resurfaced. IMO, this isn't that strange. I don't imagine that I'd want to believe that the man I lived with for eleven years after my son's murder was his killer. I imagine it was very hard for Pam to eventually make that admission. However, based on
new information uncovered after the trials (the mtDNA, etc.), she had no choice but to suspect TH. Why the wmpd didn't is beyond me!
