Detective Tony Richardson

Street wise, I'm telling you, if you ever met her, 15 years old, she knew more about the street than I did.

to be in what we really thought was a revolution.

And part of an interrogation is you lean on people.

You put pressure on them.

You want them to feel that pressure.

You know, you don't threaten them or anything like that, but you want them to feel that pressure that you're leaning on them.

And you want that pressure to, as the old saying goes, burst a pipe.

So that they will start to overflowing and telling you.

Nobody in modern age does that.

Anyway, let's say that she was pressured and coerced.

Did she tell things that she couldn't have known unless she was there?

Yes.

Like what?

Well, like, for instance, the scenario about how it happened.

The scenario about how the deputy came out of the back of the hotel.

So what I'm saying is, here you have Yolanda Chambers who, after all these years, from day one, has been called a liar.

And I'll be the first to tell you she is or she was.

But as an investigator, you have to sort through this.

You have to figure out what's the truth in this to help build a case.

But we were not close at all.
