I was reading through old posts. When I came across this one, I got teary eyed. I always felt so sad for Joe Aslip and David Witthuhn.
Something I hadn't known about before was that the killer turned Manuela's ham radio to a police frequency.

You are very kind in your interest. I am only going by what I have been told or what I know factually. You ask many questions that brings back stuff that is hard to remember and hurts as well. All efforts are out the window, so here is a few facts as I know them.
The lamp was taken and presumed the murder weapon.
Yes he made the scene look like a robbery.
The TV was just moved from a back bedroom and left on the patio.
No carving gone just lamp and like a crystal ball on a wood base about six inches total height.
The tape from the answering machine was taken I was told.
Had one mysterious call one day earlier obviously a older african american decent voice.
I checked out (ama) as soon as I found out the situation when I could not get a hold of my Wife.
I was in a total of three days.
Yes they asked and no I did not encounter anyone.
Yes some jewelry was taken.
Yes a fence around the back yard.
Irvine has a park on just about every block.
There was a few vacant homes as it was a new housing development at the time.
We had contacts with a construction boss to fix defects.
Nothing ever mentioned of balls of fiber.
The LE questioned anyone and everyone around or work environments, neighborhoods, and the Hospital.
The LE I feel did more than expected and really tried considering they assumed I had something to do with this.
Myself I have been the focus of Police Depts., Sheriff depts., FBI, IRS, phone taps, surveillance, DNA, hypnosis, lie-detector tests, FBI and Police, entrapment plans, media suspicion and hours of interviewing by all. They were pretty thorough related to me. They were always kind, empathetic and respectful. It still caused many repercussions. I have had a heart attack and died,brought back, 2 Grand Mall seizers, anxiety attacks, mini-strokes, large stroke and I'm still here. I have never went the route of benefiting money wise by interviews, books or such, which I have been offered many times.
There was some relief having LE focus in the right direction after 17 years but I feel a lot of waisted effort and time was spent that could have been better directed. That's just hindsight though. In all fairness they didn't know either and we did not have the technology we have now.
