While they were sleeping, she woke him up and said that she thought she heard someone coming in the slider in the master bedroom. and that someone was breaking into the house. She told him to get on the floor.
He then began struggling because he wanted to get up and look out the window and see if he could see anyone coming or going. Lisa was holding him down on the floor and telling him, stay on the floor, stay on the floor, don't get up.
And he goes to the window, is looking over the front, and he sees a guy running from the direction of his front door, across the lawn, getting into a car. He can't say for sure who this guy is, but he knows the car.
He knows George, and he knows this car. And when I asked him, you know, could you say who it was for sure running out of the house, he said, could have been George, but he said, I can't 100% say who it was.
There was a driver because this person running out of the house got into the passenger seat and the car took off. But he couldn't see the driver. He couldn't see if anyone else was in the car.
And the car belongs to George Taylor, who is best friends with next-door neighbor Shelby Harris. And George is often at Shelby's house, and he knows George, and he knows this car.
So we get to the neighbors and Lisa is sitting in a chair. She was kind of in this, what I can only describe as a catatonic state where she was just staring straight ahead, sitting in a chair and just staring straight ahead with this blank look on her face. And I kind of knelt down in front of her so I could get eye to eye. And I said, Lisa. She just kept staring.
Lisa, you know, this went on for a minute. And then she finally like made eye contact, immediately started screaming and crying hysterically.
I get it. Everybody reacts differently. But the interesting thing was not a tear was coming out of her eyes. during all this screaming and kind of crying hysterically. My gut feeling at this point is no. She is acting how she's supposed to be acting. This isn't real trauma. This isn't real bereavement. And I'd seen a lot. And I know everybody reacts differently. It wasn't real to me.
Lisa was holding him down on the floor and telling him, stay on the floor, stay on the floor, don't get up. Now you could take that one of two ways. Is she being a protective mother or does she not want him to see something?
And so Detective Fernandez and I, he was my second. Detective Thompson stayed at the scene. And as we're walking outside, we both looked at each other, and I immediately said... Okay, she's involved. I knew there was a long way to go, but it immediately centered my focus on her.
I asked the deputy to contact Shelby and bring her to the station because now we want to talk to her about George. And so Shelby is at the station, fully cooperative.
She knew of no trouble in the marriage. They seemed like the happiest, happiest couple. She's just shocked by this. George's car being there, well, she doesn't know about that, but George is her best friend, and she can get George down to the station, and she'll make that happen for us. We went over that. Oh, she was happy to help, and she would get George down here to talk to us.
Up to his kid's room? Never? Ever? He kept wanting me to know that he was very gangster. And those are his words, that he was very gangster and he had some gangster times. And that I didn't know anything about his life, but it was very dangerous for him to be at this police station. And his life could be on the line.
There were some people out, a Mexican gang, out to steal George's car, and he had been followed that day, and he was afraid for himself and for Shelby. And so he and Shelby decided to go stay in a motel for the night. And according to Shelby, it was just her and George alone. In the motel, no one else was there.
How can you explain that? And he said, oh, yeah. At one point, he had been afraid that the Mexican gang had shown up at Shelby's anyway. And so he wanted to just go check Shelby's house and make sure nothing was going on at Shelby's house.
He's really trying to explain why his car is in front of Kevin James' house at the time of the shooting. And he's coming up with all kinds of stuff. Might have gone back a second time. He knows for sure he didn't go back to the motel right away. He went to the Orange Groves and slept for a while. Didn't have a real explanation for that. He just went all over the place with where he was that night.
And I want to say it was like a three-hour interview and nothing was consistent from the beginning to the end. He changed his story two, three times. I mean, nothing was consistent.
I actually arrest George that night. Now, I know that I can hold him for 48 hours, and then I know when he's getting out of jail, and we can set up a surveillance and follow him and see where he goes and what he does.
Because I'm also thinking he knows that I think he's lying. I mean, we were clear in the interview. And if someone put him up to this, if he's the one who did it, if he was the one running out of the house, now give him a night to sleep on this. And maybe in the morning, he'll come to his senses and want to tell us what happened if other people are involved, which at this point is my theory.
