He told me that he locked his keys in the car and said... Okay, and he asked me, do you have anything to get the lock open with?

No. Okay, just that, did he say where it was? At the Mineral Park and Ride.

I was actually able to go home and get a coat of hair.

On the way home, he called me on my cell phone and said he'd got it open with his Leatherman.

I don't know why he didn't do that in the first place.

Um... Then... As soon as... He told me, he said, I need your help.

And he said, get rid of the body. I'm like, what body? At that point, I was like, in shock.

Because I didn't register.

I can't do it. When he asked me for my help, I was so distraught, I wasn't thinking clearly, so I said yes.

He picked me up when we went to the parking right in Monroe.

Her car.

From there, we took off and went up to Reeder.

He took the parts out of the trunk, took them into the woods with a shovel.

And buried the parts and brought the bags back to the car.

Next spot.

After he took it out of the trunk.

He said, here's part of the torso.

He just put it in the trunk.

He took out another bag. Okay. At this time, I was standing at the driver's door.

And he pulled the body part out of the bag.

It was a thigh. They chucked it over the guardrail. It was the upper leg without the knee. Without the knee.

Yeah, my mom. Your mom drove by? Wow. Was that planned? No. How spooky is that? I don't know. So I had a cover-up. I don't know why I did it. All I said was he was going to the bathroom, and I was just enjoying the view.

Not really. I was just, again, not thinking quickly.

What he was acting like, it was... I just don't know what to think. I don't know how to explain it.

I really don't know much about it, about the apartment.

Yeah. He didn't tell me really how he killed her. All he just said was part of her was in the car.

Yeah, but I'm not sure what kind of knife.

I'm jumbled.

He actually did tell me he used a knife, but he didn't tell me what kind of knife.

I told him you're on your own. Are you done?

He's like, okay.

Um, he goes, I'll have to find a spot to torch it.

Because we only got rid of one arm. Okay. That one arm on Kellogg.

And those were the only two left.

Two body parts left. The head and an arm.

No.

He drove it.

He walked home.

Because he called me afterwards, after it was torched, and said he was on his way home. He was walking.

He told me he doused the car in lighter fluid.

and set it on fire. Did he indicate why he put the head in the front seat?

Yeah.
