No; he talked to somebody else in our bureau.

Several different people. Captain Fritz, a lot of homicide detectives and Texas Rangers and several other people that I don't know who they were. I gather law enforcement agencies, but it was, the office was----

I believe it was a brown sports coat.
Mr. Ball.
Then you went down to the showup?
