By the time we got there, we were late, and the lieutenant up there had four guys ready to work with us. They said, well, it's nice you got here. I said, well, I'm lucky I got here.
It was kind of enjoyable, yeah.
All over this... Two and a half car garage was indoor-outdoor carpeting. I said, well, it's got to be under there.
None of the concrete underneath was damaged or anything.
That kind of made me concerned that maybe that wasn't what I was going to find her at.
It was almost like a dampness in the air. And as I opened the door to the basement, this wave of drying paint came up.
Jack had a contractor come in and build two by four shelving all along one wall. So the technicians were working and looking all along the walls and looking around that shelving that was built. And one of them said, gosh, this is like almost fresh concrete that didn't dry. Splattered on the wall.
So the other lieutenant said, go get sledgehammers.
And I'm thinking, oh boy, how am I going to explain this? But Dave proceeded. Hold it all down and then ripped up the carpeting that was glued to the floor.
They did it with little tiny screwdrivers and everything, trying not to disturb anything.
Then we found something I was looking for, and that was a green tarp.
And I checked the picture I had of her, and it was very obvious when I looked at her that it was Noreen.
I can't wait to get my hands on Jack. It's time to lock him up.
And I said, I've got Noreen's body up here. He said, what? And I said, I've got Noreen's body. She's been murdered. I said, I want you to write up a murder warrant and take it and serve it on Jack before he gets away somewhere. He said, a murder warrant? And I said, yep. He was shocked about the whole thing.
Jack was home. And he came out and they said, you're under arrest for homicide. And he says, OK, I don't have anything to say. Nothing. Nothing.
Looked over in the corner, and there was a whole herd of ants eating somebody else's food. The thing was a dump. It was awful.
I said, I need to talk to Collier.
I said, it's better that you know what happened to her than go on for years and years and never find her. And I said, well, it's my job, Collier. It's for you, I said. I'm really sorry.
I told him he might have to testify. It wasn't very often that prosecutors would use a young child to testify, but it was important. He said, absolutely.
