I read all the information Stanford was putting out in his columns. There really wasn't anything in those letters about Tonya Bennett that hadn't been widely discussed at the trial. It was very good reading, but it was really nothing we could deal with criminally on our case.

We're about a quarter mile, maybe a little less, into Skamania County from the Clark County side on State Route 14, which is also known as the Evergreen Highway.

As we approached the scene where she was located, the first thing that I was struck by was that she was completely nude. There was no purse, there was no jacket, there was no anything nearby that could possibly give us an identity to who this person was. There appeared to be some adhesive on her cheeks and over her mouth that appeared consistent with maybe the adhesive from duct tape.
