attorney.”
“Did he help you at any time move personal property from the residence at Blackberry Lane?”
“No.”
“Have you transferred any funds to him since August 15, 1996?”
“No.”
And so the questioning went. Jones wanted to know if Perry had given his brother any funds to hold for him for any period of time, and Perry responded that he had not.
“Have you deposited any checks written to you into his account since August 15, 1996?” Jones asked.
“No. Not to the best of my recollection,” Perry replied.
“Did you contact him on August 15, 1996?”
“Yes.”
“At what time?”
“To the best of my recollection, it was sometime around nine [ P.M. ].”
“Why did you contact him?”
“To let him know that my wife, Janet, had left.”
“When had you last talked to your brother before that conversation?”
“I do not remember. I speak to my brother daily, once or twice.”
“Had you told your brother that you and your wife had separated?”
“We hadn’t separated.”
“During the days before August 15, 1996, did you tell your brother, or had you told your brother, that you were not living in the house, were not staying there overnight?”
“I had not moved out of my house,” Perry responded. “I had stayed in hotels a few nights.”
“Was your brother aware of that before August 15, 1996?” Jones asked.
“I don’t remember.”
Jones asked Perry whether he had spoken to his brother during the two weeks prior to Janet’s disappearance to inform him that he and Janet were having marital problems at that time, and Perry told him that he had. In response to Jones’s questioning, Perry described their marital problems simply as routine, and that they had had such difficulties on and off throughout their marriage. Jones asked if their marital problems had become worse.
“There had been times in our marriage where they were equal degrees,” Perry responded.
“Had you spent other nights in a hotel rather than stay at home?” Jones asked. “Because of your marital difficulties.”
“Not at all.”
“Sir?”
“No.”
“So, immediately before August 15, 1996, is the first occasion where the problems in your marriage caused you to stay in local hotels, is that correct, rather than stay at home?”
“Correct.”
“Tell me what happened on August fifteenth leading up to your claim that Janet walked out or disappeared,” Jones asked.
Perry explained that he had arrived home from work at approximately 4:00 or 4:30 P.M. that day, and that Janet was at home with their two children while the cabinet workers were completing the repair work that Janet had requested. Jones then wanted to know what Janet had been wearing when Perry arrived home that day.
“I don’t remember,” Perry responded.
“Was she wearing blue jeans? Was she wearing a dress? Was she dressed up?” Jones asked.
“Mr. Jones, I don’t remember.”
“Okay. You have no idea at all. Is that what you’re claiming?”
“That’s correct,” Perry responded. “As of today I don’t remember.”
“Did she ever change clothes before you claim she left on August fifteenth? From the time you arrived home that day.”
“I believe she did. I do remember that I noted that there was a change, but I don’t remember exactly what it was,” Perry said.
“So you don’t remember if she changed from a dress to casual clothes or from casual clothes to a dress? That’s just blocked out of your mind. Is that correct?”
“I don’t remember. I think she was wearing shorts and then—and then jeans or vice versa. But that’s about as good as I can remember at this time.”
“When do you think she changed clothes?”
“Prior to her leaving.”
“Immediately before she left?”
“I think pretty close to when she left, yes.”
“What time do you say she left?”
“Again, approximately, based on my recollection right now, sometime between eight-thirty and nine.”
“How long after she left
