KENTUCKY STATE POLIC KYIBRS INITIAL REPORT (WALKER)

September 11, 2007 / 2000 hours I Arrival at Fort Campbell, Interview Brent Smith MP station.

I along with Det. Gillingham and Tpr. Oldham arrived at the MP station at Fort Campbell Ky. and met with several members of Brent Smith's chain-of-command. I along with Det. Gillingham had interviewed Brent Smith for several hours during the course of the visit at Fort Campbell Ky. During this interview Brent Smith had provided several different versions regarding his whereabouts during the early hours of September 11, 2007. The three versions of statements are described in chronological order.

Brent Smith described how he had picked up his children from Karen Green's residence on the morning of September 8, 2007 and stayed in the Hardin County Jefferson County area during the visit with his children. Brent Smith stated that when he arrived at the residence Tracey Smith wasn't present and he stated that she was more than likely at work (North Hardin Nursing Home). I asked Brent Smith when was the last time he spoke to Tracy Smith and he described how it was Wednesday or Thursday before September 11, 2007. It was later discovered that he spoke to Tracy Smith while she was at work on September 8, 2007; when questioned regarding his false statement he admitted that he did contact Tracy Smith on September 8, 2007 and he overlooked that conversation. I asked Brent Smith when was the last time he saw Tracy Smith in person and he described how Tracy Smith arrived at their old residence in Clarksville TN. approximately 2 weeks ago and she had removed some linen from the residence to include a pistol. I asked Brent Smith to give me more information regarding the firearm and he described how it was a Ruger semiautomatic and he thought the caliber was 40 cal or 45 cal. I thought it was unusual that he was in the military and he didn't know the caliber of his firearm. Brent Smith described how this firearm was a gift from Tracy Smith's father and he received the firearm on or about Easter 2007; it was later determined that the caliber was 9mm.

Brent Smith stated that when he returned his children to Karen Green's residence on the evening of September 8, 2007, he described how he entered the residence to utilize the restroom and he immediately left the residence a short time thereafter and proceeded back to Fort Campbell Ky. Brent Smith stated that he hasn't been back to Hardin County since September 8, 2007. Brent Smith who is a military police officer described how on September 10, 2007 at 1300 hours he reported to work and was assigned to patrol duties. Brent Smith stated that his patrol partner was 'Private First Class Aulden who was interviewed by Det. Gillingham. See Det. Gillingham's attached supplement regarding interview.

Brent Smith described how he logged in his military issued firearm at 2200 hours and he proceeded to Central dispatch and spoke with two female dispatchers that were on duty. Brent Smith then described how he left the dispatch center and went to his room at the barracks he resides at and. changed into civilian clothing. Brent Smith then described how he used an ATM machine at the PX at 2253 hours and withdrawn $83.00. This info was verified by his bank records. Brent Smith stated that he purchased the female dispatchers coffee and soft drinks 'and proceeded back to central dispatch. Brent Smith implied how he was with the dispatchers until 0200 hours September 11, 2007, and immediately following that he proceeded off base and visited several automobile dealerships located in the surrounding area of Fort Campbell Ky.

Brent Smith stated that he first preceded Toyota and Patriot car dealerships in search of a pick-up truck. The above mentioned locations are in Hopkinsville Ky. approximately 10 miles north of base. Brent Smith described how he didn't actually park on the lot of the dealerships; however, he described how he had driven on the service roads adjacent to the lot. The two dealerships are

000555

directly next to each other. Brent Smith then describes how he proceeded to a dealership in Clarksville TN. named Wyatt Johnson. As his earlier statement Brent Smith describes how he parked adjacent to the lot not putting him self directly on the lot. Brent Smith implied he arrived back at the barracks approximately 0300 hours and went to sleep. I asked Brent Smith if his roommate (PFC Hebner) was in the room and if so was he awakened; Brent Smith, replied "no." It was later discovered that Brent Smith's roommate, Colton Hebner, had awakened at 0530 hours and Brent Smith wasn't present in the room. I asked Brent Smith if he had placed fuel in his vehicle during the early morning hours of September 11, 2007 and he replied "no."

Brent Smith had given me verbal permission to search his room at Bldg. 6730 A-Shua-Valley Fort Campbell Ky. 42223. Upon arriving at his room at the above mentioned location I initiated a second interview regarding his activities during the early morning hours of September 11, 2007. Brent Smith's second statement was similar to his first statement that was provided earlier at the MP station leading up to 0100 hours; however, he described how he went to Wyatt Johnson dealership located in Clarksville Tennessee then he proceeded to Toyota and Patriot dealerships located in Hopkinsville Ky. This statement was in contradiction to his initial statement describing how he proceeded to Hopkinsville Ky first then traveled to Wyatt Johnson in Clarksville TN. Brent Smith then described how he couldn't sleep and drove around Fort Campbell and the surrounding area and didn't arrive back at the barracks until 0530-0600 hours. During this statement Brent Smith had described how he had stopped at the Pilot station located in Oak Grove Ky. approximately 0500 hours and purchased gas for his van. Brent Smith stated that the dollar amount was approximately $36.00 and he used his Bank debit card during this purchase. It was later discovered through subpoenaed records that he didn't purchase gas at the described Pilot station with said debit card. Brent Smith had stated that he was only gone four hours and that wouldn't give him enough time to drive to Rineyville Ky. and then back to Fort Campbell. While in Brent Smith's room, he identified the clothing to include shoes he was wearing the night in question. Brent Smith had voluntary relinquished the military uniform (item# 63-64) he was wearing at work on September 10, 2007. Brent Smith also provided me with two pairs of athletic shoes (item# 55 & 57) and a pair of blue jeans and a T-shirt (item# 54 & 60) Brent Smith had described how during the early hours of September 11, 2007 he had jumped a water ditch and his pants (item# 57) and shoes (item# 60) became wet and soiled. Brent Smith had described how he had washed his pants (item# 54) during the morning hours of September 11, 2007 after he returned back to the barracks.

September 11, 2007 / 2200 hours /Interview Colton Hebner.

I met with Colton Hebner in the barrack's recreation room regarding this interview. Colton Hebner is Brent Smith's roommate and it was described by Colton Hebner that they had been roommates for the past several weeks. Colton Hebner described how he has been in the military for a total of five years and has known Brent Smith during the past two years. Colton Hebner described how he had knowledge that Brent Smith was going through divorce procedures and that is why he was ordered to move into the barracks by his chain-of-command regarding a domestic dispute on or about July 2007. Colton Hebner described how he wakes-up at 0530 every morning and remains in the room until 0600 hours.

Colton Hebner stated that he was in his room asleep when on or about September 10, 2007 approximately 2340 hours, he heard Brent Smith enter the room and changed from his military clothing into civilian attire. Colton Hebner described how Brent Smith received a phone call while he was in the room and Colton Hebner believes the caller was a female. Colton Hebner stated that once Brent Smith had changed clothing, Brent Smith had left the room. Colton Hebner described how he noticed that Brent Smith had placed his cell phone on the phone charger and left the room without his cell.

Colton Hebner described how he awakened at 0530 on September 11 , 2007 and Brent Smith wasn't in the room. Colton Hebner described how he left the room at 0600 hours for physical fitness (PT) formation and Brent Smith was not present in the room. Colton Hebner described how he returned to the room at 0635 and observed Brent Smith asleep in his bunk. Colton Hebner stated that he didn't want to disturb Brent Smith so he left the room.

Colton Hebner described how when he returned to the third floor, the same floor the room is located at, he noticed that Brent Smith had exited the latrine area and he was holding what appeared to be a wet Nascar soft cap. Colton Hebner described how he asked Brent Smith about his wet hat and Brent Smith explained how he had to wash it because it got muddy overnight. Colton Hebner stated that approximately 1135 hours on September 11, 2007; he overheard Brent Smith tell his divorce attorney (Brad Carter) that Tracy Smith had retrieved the Ruger 9mm pistol from him several weeks ago.

From phone records, it was determined that Brent Smith received a phone call from Michelle Larsen at 2337 hours. Agents with Department of Defense Investigative Services (DCIS) had interviewed Michelle Larsen and Lindsey Brook regarding Brent Smith's alibi and discovered that Brent Smith had contacted Michelle Larsen (911 dispatcher at Fort Campbell) and asked her to include Lindsey Brook, to lie to investigators regarding this investigation. lt was noted through Brent Smith's cell phone records that he had contacted Michelle Brook on September 11, 2007 2107 hours asking her to tell investigators that they were together from September 10 thru September 11 2007, 0100 hours. Brent Smith had placed this call while I and Det. Gilllingham were interviewing Colton Help. See attach DCIS report regarding their interviews. The interview of Colton Hebner was recorded on digital voice recorder.

KENTUCKY STATE POLIC KYIBRS INITIAL REPORT (WALKER)

September 11, 2007 / 2300 hours I Re-interview Brent Smith.

Immediately after interviewing Colton Help in the Barrack's recreation room, I along with Brent Smith had proceeded back to his room located on the third floor. As I entered his room I observed a white Nascar racing hat resting on his bed. I asked Brent Smith if he was wearing a Nascar hat during the evening in question and he stated no. I asked Brent Smith if he had recently washed any hats recently and he stated no. I informed Brent Smith that his roommate had informed me that he was observed during the early hours of September 11, 2007 holding a wet Nascar-hat and he informed the roommate that the hat was recently washed. Brent Smith admitted that he did wash the hat. I asked Brent Smith why did he lie and he described how he washed the hat by hand and stated, "I thought you asked if I washed it in the washing machine which I didn't."

Brent Smith described how the hat in question was in his van during the evening in question and there came a point when the hat fell on the floor board of the van when he accidentally stepped on it. The white Nascar hat (item # 53) was released into my possession. I asked Brent Smith when was the last time he purchased ammunition for the Ruger pistol; he described how he purchased ammunition on or about July 2007 and shot all of the ammunition for this said firearm within a short time of purchase. Brent Smith still couldn't provide me with the correct caliber of the firearm which I thought was odd.

Brent Smith described how the box contained 15 to 20 rounds and he believes the ammunition was Teflon hollow points; similar to the bullets that were recovered at the crime scene. See Det. Matt Johnson's attach supplement regarding crime scene processing. I asked Brent Smith If he was sure if he didn't have any ammunition in his van (POV) and he stated no; he replied, "I shot everything in July." I informed Brent Smith that Det. Gillingham had interviewed his patrol partner, PFC Aulden, and this individual described how on September 9, 2007 they were on patrol together and PFC Aulden stated that he wish he had some spare 9mm ammunition so he could shoot a large deer they observed on the side of the road during their patrol. I asked Brent Smith if he informed PFC Aulden that he did have some spare ammo. Brent Smith described how he told PFC Aulden that he had spare ammo and once they got of duty that evening Brent Smith described how he actually checked the glove box in his van for this ammo and realized that he shot all of the ammo back in July 2007. See Det. Gillingham's attach supplement regarding interview of PFC Aulden.

I asked Brent Smith to describe his activities again during the early morning hours of September 11, 2007. Brent Smith stated that he was with Michelle Lovelace and Lindsey Brooks until 0100 hours and following that he proceeded off base and purchased fuel at the Pilot station in Oak Grove Ky. at 0130 hours. I questioned Brent Smith regarding the time he placed fuel in his vehicle. I informed Brent Smith that during his prior statement he disclosed that he received gas at 0500 hours. Brent Smith stated that the first time. I immediately stopped Brent Smith and asked him if he purchased gas twice during the morning in question. Brent Smith stated that he purchased the gas at 0130 hours; however, he described how he arrived at the barracks at 0300 hours, slept in the vehicle until 0500 hours with the engine and air condition running.

He then described how at 0500 hours he drove back off base to the same pilot station and purchased a one liter Mountain Dew. Brent Smith stated this was approximately 0530 hours. Brent Smith then stated that he arrived back at the barracks approximately 0600 and his roommate was not present. I asked Brent Smith to provide "me with more details regarding the

000558

firearm he alleges Tracy Smith had taken from his possession approximately 2 1/2 weeks ago. Brent Smith stated that he received the gun (Ruger P-90) on or about April 2007 from Tracy Smith's father, David Wilson Sr. Brent Smith still couldn't provide me with the correct caliber. At this point he still is inferring a possible caliber of 40-45.

It was later verified by Tracy Smith's father that the caliber was 9mm; the same caliber of shell casings that were identified at the crime scene. During this investigation Det. Gillingham had identified an acquaintance (Sgt. Devane) of Brent Smith who describes how he thought Brent Smith was going to harm self or others and had taken possession of the firearm in question; however, it was returned to Brent Smith upon his request nine days prior to the incident in question. This statement from Sgt. Devane contradicts Brent Smith's statement describing how Tracy Smith had taken possession of the firearm fourteen plus days prior to the incident. See Det. Gillingham's attach supplement regarding Sgt. Devane's interview.

I asked Brent Smith if his son, Eion Smith, would make-up a lie against him. Brent Smith replied, "I would go up to him, I mean talk to him on the phone and Eion would say I don't want to talk to him, he's a bad daddy right know he's not here." Brent Smith described his son as being smart. It is believed that Eion Smith had made similar statements referring to his dad as "bad daddy" during his forensic interview. See Det. Gillingham's attach supplement of forensic interview of Eion Smith and Matthew Peterson.

October 8, 2007 /Interview, Leonard Price, 0900 hours.

I met with Leonard K. Price 312 Winston Place #2 Manhattan KS. 66502 regarding this investigation. Mr. Price was most recently romantically involved with Tracy Smith. This interview was conducted at the Huddle House restaurant located in Radcliff Ky. Mr. Price described how he met Tracy Smith on or about the first week of August 2007; he described how they met at a night club located on Fort Knox Ky. Mr. Price described how Tracy Smith had spent the night with him at his friend 's residence located in Radcliff Ky on September 9, 2007 (Sunday) and she left the residence early Monday morning and proceeded to work at the North Hardin Nursing Home.

Mr. Price described how this was his last night being stationed at Fort Knox Ky because he had orders reassigning him to Fort Riley KS .. Mr. Price described how he is a full time National Guard soldier and before reporting to Fort Riley Kansas he had to travel to his National Guard Armory located in Northern Kentucky to retrieve some equipment from that location. Mr. Price explained how he spent the night at a hotel located in Newport Ky on September 10, 2007 before traveling to Fort Riley Kansas on the morning of September 11, 2007. Mr. Price described how he contacted Tracey Smith via cell phone at 2153 hours on September 10, 2007 and the conversation lasted six minutes; this was verified by cell phone records.

Mr. Price stated that he couldn't identify if she was home or traveling in her car; however, he stated that he couldn't hear any noise in the background. Mr. Price described how he went out to a bar during the late hours of September 10, 2007; he stated that he believes he used his debit card and will provide me with his bank records once he receives them. Mr. Price stated that he left Newport Kentucky early September 11 , 2007 and sent Tracy Smith a text message approximately 0500 hours. Mr. Price described how she didn't respond to this message.

Mr. Price described how since he only known Tracy Smith for a month he didn't meet her children nor has he ever been to the residence in question. Mr. Price described how during his short relationship with Tracy Smith she would at times describe the problems she was having with Brent Smith and she was concerned for her safety. Mr. Price described how on occasions Brent Smith had contacted Tracy Smith by telephone and immediately after the phone conversation she would appear to be emotionally drained. This interview was a follow-up interview that Det. Gillingham had conducted several weeks ago via telephone. See attach supplement.

KENTUCKY STATE POLICE KYIBRS SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT (GILLINGHAM)

1452 HOURS -1518 HOURS I INTERVIEW WITH MATTHEW PETERSON:

I conducted a forensic interview with Matthew Thomas Peterson (juvenile). Matthew Peterson is nine (9) years old. I first asked Matthew Peterson if he knew what I wanted to talk to him about. He stated "the robbery." I asked him to ten me about the robbery. I asked Matthew who lived in the house with him. He stated he lived in the house with his grandmother, grandfather, his brother (Eion), and his sister (Raegan). During the interview, Matthew stated that a man wearing a camouflage jacket entered the residence and shot his grandmother. He also stated that he heard three gunshots. He stated that his grandmother stated "I'm dying," after she had been shot. He stated that the "robber'' also shot his mother, who must have heard the "robber" in the house. He stated the robbery happened the previous night sometime around 6 o'clock. He stated he had been sleeping on the couch in the living room when the "robber" entered the residence. He stated that the living room is located next to the kitchen.

After hearing his initial statement I attempted to clarify the time of the shooting. I asked Matthew Peterson if he had been sleeping when the "robber" entered the house. He stated he had been sleeping. I asked him what time he went to sleep the previous night. He stated he went to sleep around 2000 hours. I then asked him if he went to sleep at 2000 hours, how the shooting could have happened at 6 o'clock the previous night. He stated that he was not sure of the exact time, but that it happened shortly (30-50 minutes) before 0657 hours. He stated that after the shooting, he waited a short time to make sure the "robber'' was gone; he then turned on the television. He stated that when he turned the television on, the clock on the television showed the time as 0657 hours.

I then asked Matthew what he first remembered upon waking up. He stated he heard three (3} gunshots, and then he heard his grandmother screaming. He stated that he may have then heard one more gunshot. He stated he remained on the couch while the man was in the house. He stated he did peak over the top of the couch, and he saw the man standing in the kitchen. He also stated that the man asked where the money was. Matthew stated that he pointed down the hallway, to where he thought some money might be. I asked him if he could identify what race the man had been. He stated it was too dark to see well. He also stated that he was sure the man was wearing a camouflage jacket. .

He stated that the man also broke the glass on the back door, and he did not know how the glass got into his mother's room. Matthew then stated that after the man asked where the money was, and he pointed down to his mother's room, he thought the man went down to his mother's room. He stated that he was not sure, because he did not hear the man walking in the house. He stated several times that the man had "silent" feet, meaning he could not hear him walking. He stated that when the man left, he walked out through the back door. He stated that when the man walked out of the house through the back door, he heard a crackling, like someone had started a fire (this noise may have been the man walking over the broken glass at the back door). Matthew stated that he stayed on the couch throughout the incident. ·

I then asked Matthew if he knew where his brother and sister were at the time the man entered the house. He stated his sister was in her room, and that she was crying. He stated he could not remember where his brother was. He stated that his brother may have been on the couch sleeping with him, or he may have been in his own bedroom. I then asked Matthew why he started watching television after the man left. He stated that he thougt the man that did the shooting might have been his step-dad. He stated he did not want to call the police because he was afraid

000539

that his step-dad might come back and kill them if he did. He stated that his step-dad had a camouflage jacket just like the one that the man had been wearing.

Matthew stated that between the times that the shootings happened at the time that he called ·the police, several people called the house. He stated one call was from his step-dad, two calls were from Sears and Roebuck, and two calls were from his grandfather. He stated that the second time his grandfather called, he answered the phone. He stated he told his grandfather what had happened, and that his grandfather told him to call the police. He stated that he then called the police

I then asked Matthew what his step-dad's name was. He stated Brent Smith. I asked him where his step-dad lived, to which he responded "Clarksville, Tennessee." I then asked Matthew when the man asked about the money, if his voice sounded like his step-dad's voice. He stated the man's voice sounded a little bit deeper.

I then asked Matthew if he knew where his grandfather was. He stated that .his grandfather is a truck driver and he drives a USA truck.

I then asked Matthew if he heard a vehicle leave after the man left the house. He stated he did not hear a vehicle and that he thought the man left on foot.

I then asked Matthew how long he had lived with his step-dad. He stated he had lived with his step-dad for about five (5) years. I asked him if he ever observed his mother and step~dad fighting. He stated that they "yelled and screamed" a lot at each other.

I then asked him if his step-dad had any guns. He stated that his step-dad was a military policeman, and that he did have some guns.

At 1518 hours, I stopped the interview to allow Matthew to eat. Social Services had picked up some food at a restaurant, and brought it back to post for the children.

At 1519 hours, I stopped the DVD.

He stated his dad shot his grandmother and she was lying on the "sodas."

Eion then stated that his dad shot his mom and his grandmother, and the dog, Sadie Mae. He stated that his dad was bad. He stated that his dad was wearing an "Army jacket." He stated that the "cops" need to get his dad, and not get them.

Eion stated that he was· sleeping in his room (the tractor room). He stated that his mother was shot, and she was lying on the floor and there was blood everywhere. He stated his mother was on the floor in her room, and her grandmother was lying on the floor on the sodas in the kitchen. He also stated that he was in his room when his dad shot his mother. He also stated that his father's name is Brent and he is bad. He also stated that his father needed to be in jail. Eion then stated that his dad had a long gun and a black gun. I then stopped the interview at 154 7 hours.

I stopped the DVD at 1553 hours. I left the children in the care of the two social workers.

He stated he believed his step-dad had one like it.

I then asked him when he last saw his step-dad. He stated that he saw him a day or two before the "robber" came. He stated that his mother let his step-dad take Eion and Raegan out shopping. I asked him why he did not go. He stated tnat he 'did nor go because he had a good life with his grandmother, and because nothing bad had happened to him yet.

I then asked him if he would feel safe living with his uncle, Dave Wilson. He stated he wasn't sure, because his uncle lived in Paducah, and the "robber" might find him there. It was clearly evident to me that Matthew was extremely afraid of the "robber" finding him and hurting him.

I then asked Matthew to describe the camouflage jacket to me again. He stated it was light green in color, with yellow spots. He then stated the jacket had an Army patch on it. When I asked him to describe the Army patch, he backtracked and did not remember the Army patch. The impression I received from him was one of something slipped, and I was not supposed to mention that. He stated the camouflage jacket had the squiggly lines, and not the digitalized pattern. I then asked him again about the Army patch. He stated that he did not know what an Army patch was, and he did not think he had seen one.

Matthew stated that he could see the right arm of the "robber's" camouflage jacket. He stated he could not see the "robber's" face. He again stated that the camouflage pattern was like the Army used to wear. I then asked him if he could see if the "robber" was wearing a hat or a hood.

Scott left with Brent Smith and drove to Madisonville. I stayed with the vehicle.

Based upon the discovery of these unidentified stains, we decided to seize the vehicle. A tow truck was called, and the vehicle was towed back to the CID office. A CID agent remained with the vehicle at all times. Since the vehicle was originally located on the Ft. Campbell military installation, and on the Tennessee side of that installation, SA Greer contacted a military magistrate. to obtain a search warrant. SA Greer filled out an Affidavit Supporting Request for Authorization to Search and Seize or Apprehend form (see attached). I filled out one as well (see attached). SA Greer also filled out a Search and Seizure Authorization form (see attached). Captain Kevin Kornegay, the military magistrate, signed the Search and Seizure Authorization form. The form granted the CID agents to seize the vehicle and transfer it to the Kentucky State Police.

I arrived at the Hardin County Ambulance Service, Station # 1 located at 1450 Rineyville Road, Elizabethtown, to obtain statements from the EMS personnel who had responded to the scene back on September 11th. I needed to interview David Willis, David Wallace, Corissa Means, Tracy Smythe-Chisolm, and Don Holstein. All of the interviews were recorded (see attached CD).

I interviewed David Willis first. David Willis provided me with his name, work address, work phone number, and date of birth

David Willis stated that day he was assigned to Squad #1, and that his partner was Corissa Means. He stated that Tracy Smythe-Chisolm and David Wallace were assigned to Squad #4. He stated that both squads were eating lunch when the call came in. He stated that the originally Squad #4 was given the call. He stated that dispatch requested that he call them on the phone after they had dispatched the call to Squad "#4. He stated that when he called, dispatch informed him of the call, and that they might need to respond as well. He-stated they responded with Squad #4.

He stated that when he arrived at the scene, he observed three or four uniformed troopers all ready on the scene, and that they informed him that there were two deceased females inside the residence. He also stated that the troopers told him there were three children at the scene. He stated that upon his arrival, a trooper asked him if he needed to enter the residence to verify the females were deceased.

David Willis stated that he never entered the inside of the residence. He stated that the closest point he was too the residence was approximately (half way between the street and the front door. He stated he observed the three children in the back of a police car parked near the end of the driveway.

He then stated that his partner, Corissa Means stayed with the chiidren, as well as Tracy Smythe-Chisolm. He stated that he and David Wallace left the scene and drove 'to the Dollar General store in Rineyville and bought some clothing and diapers for the children.

He stated that they were not allowed inside the residence to obtain clothing for the children due to the fact that it was a crime scene.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 20.07 AT 1413 HOURS / INTERVIEW WITH CORISSA MEANS

I interviewed Corissa Means. I asked her to tell me about the call. She confirmed that the call had been originafly dispatched to Squad 4, but she and her partner responded as well. She confirmed that once they arrived, she and Tracy Smythe-Chisolm went to take care of the children, while the two male medics checked in with the officers of the scene.

She stated that upon her arrival, she observed the police officers still clearing the residence. She stated that she waited there, until one of the officers gave her a signal that she did not need to enter the residence.

She stated that she asked one of the troopers if she could check on the children, to which he requested she wait until they finished clearing the house. She stated the children were in the back of one of the police cars, and the doors to the car were shut. She stated about a minute later, the other squad arrived, and Tracy Smythe-Chisolm asked if they could check on the children. Corissa stated by that time, the scene had been cleared, and they were given permission to check on the children. She stated that police car that the children were in was parked on the street at the end of the driveway.

I asked Corissa Means if she entered the residence at any point while she was at the scene. She replied she did not. She stated the closest point she came to the residence was when she returned later to transport the two deceased females to the morgue. She stated that she walked up to the front porch, and the two females were brought outside to them.

I then asked her about the children. She stated that Tracy Smythe-Chisolm was sitting on the door frame on one side of the police car talking to the children. She stated that the oldest child started talking to Tracy Smythe-Chisolm about the incident, without her asking. She stated that as she heard the children talking, she decided that the statements they were making should be heard by a police officer. She stated she went to get a trooper, and brought one trooper. She stated she did hear the youngest male child say that it was Brent that did it, and the oldest one replied to him that he did not know that for sure.

She stated that she then went around to the other side of the car to take of the youngest male child as well as the female child. She stated that she did also hear the oldest male child asking about one of the dogs, which apparently had been shot.

I then asked Corissa Means about the physical appearance of the children when she arrived. She stated that the female child was in an onesie and a diaper that was soiled. She also had a juice stain down the front of her onesie. She stated that the two male children were dressed only in their underwear. She stated she and Tracy Smythe-Chisolm stayed with the children while David Wallace and David Willis went to the store and bought clothing and diapers.

Corissa Means stated that one David Willis and David Wallace returned, she changed the female child's diaper. I asked her to describe the condition of the female child's diaper. Corissa Means stated that the female child had several bowel movements in the diaper, and apparently had not been changed for quite some time. She stated that some of the fecal matter had dried, and was stuck on the child, and it took her some time to clean her up.

000506

I then asked her if she heard any other statements made by the children. Corissa Meador's stated that the oldest child stated that the person who did this was wearing a hunting/fatigue jacket and that he knew that jacket. She stated that the five year old then stated it was Brent. She also stated the nine year old told them that it was their "divorced daddy". Corissa Meador's stated that the nine year old made several statements during this time, one time he would say it was his divorced daddy, and the other time he would say he wasn't sure if it was Brent or not.

Tracy Smythe-Chisolm confirmed the same details as far as how the call was dispatched to the EMS personnel, the people assigned to each squad, and what was transpiring when they arrived at the scene.

Tracy Smythe-Chisolm stated that upon her arrival, she immediately went to the three children in the back of one of the police cars to check on them. She also confirmed that she was advised by some of the troopers on the scene that the two females inside the residence were deceased, and would not need medical treatment.

Tracy Smythe-Chisolm stated that she checked in with the children, and asked them if they were all right. She stated they were all in their underwear. She stated the EMS Personnel asked the troopers if they could obtain some clothing for the children from the residence and was told that the residence was a crime scene and that no one could enter due to that fact. Tracy Smythe- Chisolm stated that the two male paramedics went to the Dollar General store in Rineyville and bought some clothing and some diapers for the children. Tracy Smythe-Chisolm stated that she assisted the two boys in changing clothes while Corissa Means changed the little girl's diapers.

She stated that Matthew Peterson then started to tell her about the events. She stated that initially she did not think it was a problem, but a short time later she called one of the troopers over to the car to listen in, as the child was telling her all of the things.

Tracy Smythe-Chisolm stated that Matthew Peterson told her that a "robber" came into the house and kept asking for money, and that he repeated it over and over. She stated that Matthew Peterson told her that he told the "robber" where the money was, but the "robber'' did not seem interested in the money. She stated Matthew told her that the "robber" had on camouflage and also had a big long gun and a pistol. She stated that at that point, Matthew Peterson told her that the "robber" was his "divorced daddy'', and then told her his name. Tracy Smythe-Chisolm stated Matthew told her that the "robber's" name was Brandon or Brian Andrew Smith. Tracy Smythe- Chisolm also stated that Matthew told her that he knew it was his "divorced daddy" because he recognized the jacket. She also stated that Matthew Peterson told her that it was not daddy, but again, his "divorced daddy."

Tracy Smythe-Chisolm also stated that Matthew Peterson told her that he and his other siblings hid from the "robber." She also stated that Matthew Peterson told her how he took care of his siblings once the robber left, to include feeding them by using the microwave, which would make his mother angry because he was not supposed to use it without her permission. She also stated that he told her that they had to eat to survive. Tracy Smythe-Chisolm also stated that Matthew told her how he had to step over the bodies of his grandmother and mother to do things to take care of his siblings.

Tracy Smythe-Chisolm also stated that Matthew told her how he finally called the police after talking to his grandfather. She stated that Matthew told her that his grandfather had called, and asked to speak to his grandmother and mother, and he had to tell his grandfather that the "robber" shot them both.

000562

Tracy Smythe-Chisolm stated that at one point, Matthew Peterson made a comment that she found interesting. She stated that Matthew was talking about the "robber" shooting one of their dogs, tnd it was the dog that was mean. She stated that Matthew told her that the other dogs were not mean.

Tracy Smythe-Chisolm confirmed that neither she, nor any of the other EMS personnel entered the residence at any time. She stated she stayed outside the residence. I concluded the interview at 1444 hours.

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 / 1500 hours EST Interview with Kurt Green

While Sgt. Walsh and I were standing outside the scene, we observed a semi tractor trailer cab drive up to the perimeter. A male subject, later identified as Kurt Green, husband to Karen Green, exited the cab and proceeqed to our location. Sgt. Walsh and I met with Mr. Green and notified him of both his wife's and Tracy's passing. Mr. Green consented to being interviewed regarding his knowledge of the situation at hand.

I conducted an interview with Kurt E. Green inside my State Police Cruiser. This interview, along with the initial outside interview, were both recorded in their entirety utilizing my Olympus Digital Voice Recorder. Copies of the interviews are attached to this case file for further reference. For a complete account of the interview, see attached CD.

Mr. Green stated that he is married to Karen Green and resides at the residence where the incident supposedly took place. Mr. Green stated that he first learned of what had happened by a phone call around noon from Matthew Peterson, his. grandson. Mr Green advised that Matthew's father is Michael Peterson, who lives around Ekron. Mr. Green stated that he finally got a hold of Matthew when he called the house phone. He was unable to get a hold of anyone by calling his wife's cell phone that morning. He first called her cell phone at approximately 10:10am. When Mr. Green called the house, Matthew answered crying. Matthew told him that everybody was dead. Matthew further told Mr. Green that somebody had broken in and both grandma and mom were dead. Mr. Green stated that he told Matthew to call the police and that he was on his way home. Mr Green stated that he could hear the other kids in the background, but that he asked Matthew if they were okay to which he replied "yes". Mr. Green stated that he immediately dropped his trailer and headed home. He advised that he works for USA Trucking out of Van Buren, AK.

Mr. Green stated that he was in Georgetown, KY at the Toyota Transferring Warehouse when he found out what had happened. He stated that Carl Centers, his student driver, was with him at the time of the call. I asked Mr. Green about his whereabouts for the preceding days. He responded that he left out Sunday night at approximately 2002 hrs from the Pilot Truck Stop at the 105 MM (Lebanon Junction exit from 1-65). He stated that he got to Georgetown around 2200 hrs at which time he called his wife. He stayed in Georgetown that night, inside his truck, and picked up his student driver from the Microtel Hotel in Georgetown around 0515. They next went to the Trans Freight Warehouse where they picked up their load, sent some messages to USA Trucking, and proceeded to Georgia where they made three stops in GA. They then went back to Georgetown to pick up another load from the warehouse. They stayed in the truck until the next morning when Mr. Green was awakened by an old student. At that time, Mr. Centers went inside to get a shower while he conversed with his company regarding his next trip. At around 1200 he got a hold of Matthew at the house and received the news.

Mr. Green stated that Tracy and Brent have been married for about 5-6 years. Tracy is his son's previous wife who has become almost like a daughter to he and his wife. He stated that Tracy and Brent initially lived with them in Radcliff before they received quarters on Fort Knox to live. Tracy and Brent lived on base for about a year and a half before moving to Fort Campbell. At that time, the two would return to Hardin County to visit with Kurt and Karen about once a month so they could see the kids. Eventually, Tracy and Brent had a falling out which led to her leaving approximately a month and a half ago. According to Kurt, the two were getting a divorce. He and his wife had assisted Tracy in the move. According to Mr. Green, Tracy still had

000518

a good deal of her stuff in a storage facility directly off of Post. Mr. Green stated that Tracy had just finalized a new place for her and her kids to stay in Radcliff.

Mr. Green stated that Brent had come up to visit his kids the last two weekends in Rineyville. He would take the kids all day Saturday and return them later that evening. Mr. Green stated that on this last Saturday, Brent picked his kids up around 0800 hrs at the house. He only took the two youngest kids with him for the day. He dropped them off around 2000 hrs that evening.

Mr. Green stated that Tracy normally works Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at the nursing home. On Sunday when he left, Karen along with the three kids took him to his truck in Lebanon Junction. He called her around 1945 hrs on her cell phone to make sure she got home alright. He next called her around 2150 hrs when he got to Georgetown. On the following day, Monday, he spoke with her around 1130 hrs. Everything was reportedly still okay at the house.. Mr. Green stated that he spoke to his wife three more times later that day, once being around 1930 hrs when she was putting the kids to bed, again at approximately 2030 hrs, and a third time around 2130 hours when she was getting ready to go to bed herself. He stated that she had just let the dogs out for the last time that night. He stated that his wife must have gotten the trash put out because the cans were still on the roadway empty. Normally, Mr. Green advised that the trash gets picked up between 0600 hrs and 1000 hrs. He noticed that the newspaper was still inside the box as well, but she normally didn't get it out until around 1200 hrs to 1300 hrs when she puts the little girl to bed. Mr. Green stated that she normally puts the trash out before she goes to bed.

Mr. Green stated that Brent drives a red minivan. He described Brent as being a high strung, hyper person. He has not seen him with guns before, but that he had overheard him talking about shooting with Tracy's dad before. He remembered once trying to give Brent some advice on raising step-children to which Brent became very "pissy". He stated that Brent was next deployed overseas, but returned early due to a rumor that he had supposedly threatened to either kill himself or one of his lieutenants. Mr. Green stated that Brent would become very agitated and short tempered with his kids over small things such as the kids running around without a shirt on. Mr. Green stated that over the last couple of months his wife kept telling him that Brent had "lost it" and that he had"flipped".

Mr. Green stated that on Saturday night, Brent had called the house and spoke with Karen asking for a quicker route to Fort Campbell from Rineyville. Mr. Green did not speak with Brent directly, but that Brent was asking Karen to ask him if it would be quicker to take the Parkway between Bowling Green and Owensboro rnstead of down the Western Kentucky Parkway to the Pennyrile. In hindsight, Mr. Green believes that Brent was looking for a shorter route back to Campbell because of his plans to return to Rineyville.

I concluded the interview with Kurt Green at approximately 1553 hours.

KENTUCKY STATE POLICE KYIBRS SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT (JOHNSON)

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 / 1545 hours EST

Det. Propes returned with the search warrant for the residence. He and I initially documented the exterior of the residence. Det. Propes was utilizing both a digital SLR camera and a 35mm film camera for the photography. I was following behind Det. Propes and videoing the scene's condition. A copy of the video is attached in DVD form to the case file for further reference.

By entering the residence from the front door, one immediately walks into a dining/sitting room area. To the left is the master bedroom and bath where Kurt and Karen Green stayed. To the right enters a nook, opening up to the kitchen area and living room area. The doorway leading to the garage and a connecting laundry room is also found here.

When we first rounded the corner to the kitchen, the body of Karen Green, could be seen with her back laying against the wall near the rear patfo entrance. A large amount of blood was located both on the interior and exterior of the rear patio doorway, which was still partially open at this time. The doorway was noticed to have three sections of glass containing holes in it. One was clearly a bullet hole with the other two being undetermined at the time. A dog could be seen as you approached the body of Karen Green. The dog was laying on its side just outside of the rear patio doorway. A projectile was laying between the dog's body and the patio doorway.

As we continued down the hallway, we noticed a bullet hole in the wall which entered the first bedroom on the right, where the children stayed. A later analysis of this projectile's trajectory told us that this bullet entered the rear patio doorway, traveled through the bedroom wall, and exited the bedroom window. This bullet had apparently missed its target by the shooter. A bullet fragment (only the jacket) was located still hanging in the window blinds.

Continuing down the hallway, a bathroom doorway is located to the left. A single bullet was recovered from the sink in the bathroom, as well as a still partially wet washcloth from the sink. This bullet had entered from Tracy's bedroom located on the other side of the bathroom wall. The bullet's trajectory was calculated at a downward angle. At the end of the hallway, Tracy's bedroom is at the left and the baby's bedroom is to the right. Tracy Smith's body could be seen laying just inside her bedroom doorway. A large pool of blood was located under her upper region.

Following the documentation of all evidence relating to the bodies and their positions, the Coroner removed the bodies of Tracy Smith and Karen Green from the scene. The bodies evidenced signs of lividity and rigor mortis in their extremities. The hands of both victims were secured inside paper bags to preserve possible evidence. The scene was diagramed by Det. Propes, assisted by Det. Jeremy Mabe, u/592, and I. Det. Terry Scott, u/ 1804, assisted in completing an evidence log from the scene (attached to case file). The body of the dog located outside the rear patio doorway was examined. I could not locate an exit wound on the animal. Sgt. Walsh contacted E-town Animal Hospital to possibly x-ray the dog's body.

I received a call at Post from a Lisa Dyson, mother of Ashley Dyson, who advised that her daughter had possible information regarding the Rineyville murders. Mrs. Dyson advised that she would send her daughter to Post to give a statement regarding her knowledge. I conducted an interview with Ashley Dyson at the State Police Post in Elizabethtown.

Ashley advised that on Monday night, 10/10/200.7, she witnessed Deshawn Whitson along with other males hanging out in the neighborhood. On the following day, she had heard from her mother that a shooting had occurred in Lavista Estates. Later that afternoon, Deshawn Whitson came to her residence while she and her friend Bobby were hanging out. Ashley stated that Deshawn showed her a bag resembling a sports backpack and told her that he needed her to get rid of it for him, to which she replied no. A while later, Ashley and her friend, Leona Graves, wanted to go to reeman Lake. Deshawn and his brother, Terrell, accompanied the girls to the. lake.

While at Freeman Lake, Ashley stated that she and Deshawn became alone on a bridge at Freeman Lake. While on this bridge, Deshawn told her that he needed to dump the bag. She described the bag as being red/black with dried red stains on it. Deshawn pulled a white "wife- beater" and towel from his bag which had what appeared to Ashley to be blood on them. Ashley stated that she questioned Deshawn further at which time he told her that he had killed the two women for part of his gang initiation. He stated that he had been dared to break into the house and that he had shot the women. She stated that Deshawn then threw the shirt and towel into the creek/lake. Ashley stated that Terrell came over and overheard part of the conversation. Terrell told Ashley that Deshawn was lying and that he had busted his head open the night before horsing around. Ashley stated that Deshawn then got mad at his brother stating, "Why did you have to bust me out Terrell?" When Ashley again questioned Deshawn, he told her, "It's whatever." When the group got home, Deshawn left on his bike.

Det. Propes and I arrived at 396 LaVista Drive, the residence of Deshawn Whitson. We conducted an interview with Mr. Whitson in his driveway. Mr. Whitson claimed that someone, probably Jeffrey Smith, had started a rumor that he had killed those two women. Mr. Whitson admitted that he did make a comment to Aaron Logan that he killed those women, but that he was just joking. Mr. Whitson stated that on the night before the killings, he was playing basketball and horse playing at his friend Desmund's "Dizzy" house. He stated that he hit his head on the concrete and cut his head. We examined his head at which time we saw what appeared to be a small cut to the back of his head.

I was contacted by Post and advised that Tpr. Mike Garyantes, u/584, and Det. Mabe were returning to the scene at 397 Waterford Loop to recover additional evidence located by the cleaning crew. Upon arrival at the scene, I met with Tpr. Garyantes who advised that the two members of the cleaning crew had found three (3) 9mm shell casings during their cleanup process. Tpr. Garyantes further advised that the casings had not been contaminated, as the clean up crew utilizes safety precautions including gloved hands and tyvec suits. I advised Tpr. Garyantes to have the cleaning personnel write out written statements and attach them to his supplement. Det. Propes and Det. Mabe arrived on scene during this time and assisted in a second search of the entire premises. Two (2) additional 9mm shell casings were discovered under fur~iture on the back patio. In all, we recovered a total of five (5) 9mm shell casings and one (1) set of boat keys from the residence. Of note, four (4) of the 9mm casing head stamps were Federal Cartridge Company with one (1) being branded CBC. Mr. Green believed that someone may have handled his boat keys as they appeared to have been moved from their usual spot. Det. Propes and I again searched the automobiles and recreational vehicles, including a boat, on the property. No new evidence was discovered in these locations.

Det. Propes and I traveled to Fort Knox to search another Chevrolet truck owned by Kurt Green. This search yielded no additional evidence.

I later researched the brand CBC at which time I discovered that the casing was manufactured by a company called Magtec. Magtec is a cartridge manufacturer that produces a line of 9mm ammunition.

I arrived at the State Police Central Forensic Laboratory in Frankfort to assist in the processing of Brent Smith's minivan. Multiple lab personnel assisted in the search of the vehicle. Two samples of blood were recovered from the driver's seat area of the minivan. The first was located on the right driver's side arm rest. The second was recovered on the driver's seat back. The lab photographer photographed the positions of the stains' recovery.

While conducting a search of the middle to rear passenger compartment of the van, a black bag was discovered. The bag appeared to be a standard duty bag that one would keep their equipment in. Inside this bag, I discovered multiple receipts, including one for "Grandpa's" dated 07/01/2007. This receipt included the purchase of 9mm ammunition, including 147 JHP rounds. The receipt also included a KYDEX paddle holster for a Ruger P Series. This receipt was later cross-referenced to Brent Smith's bank statements which confirmed the purchase made to Grandpa's. Various other documents including correspondence with attorney's surrounding Brent and Tracy's divorce and custody issues were located inside the minivan.

Det. Walker, Det. Scott, and I arrived at Grandpa's, 1894 Fort Campbell Blvd, Clarksville, TN (931-647-0251), a retail store specializing in firearms and hunting supplies. I met with Emetrio Villejo, who handles the business's ammunition ordering. Mr. Villejo examined the copy of the receipt which we had recovered from Brent Smith's vehicle. He was unable to locate any of the ammunition listed on the receipt as still available in the store for comparison with that which we found at the scene. Mr. Villejo and I then preceded to his office where he further cross referenced the ammunition description listed on the receipt with Federal Cartridge Company's, manufacturer's catalog. He was unable to locate any "subsonic ammunition" currently in production matching the description of what we had found at the scene. He then contacted Mark Cantrell with Federal Cartridge Company (615-785-6491) who assisted him in the search. Mr. Villejo was eventually able to find the ammunition specified on the receipt in Grandpa's database. The description of the ammunition matches that corresponding to the receipt dated 07/01/2007. Mr. Cantrell stated that the particular ammunition sold that day is no longer in production by Federal. Mr. Villejo printed out an inventory of the ammunition which provides for the last five boxes of the ammunition in Grandpa's inventory being sold in July 2007, thus meaning that Mr. Smith had purchased at least one of those five. The other 9mm FMJ ammunition could not be located by Mr. Villejo.

After leaving Grandpa's, we traveled to Brent and Tracy's previous residence outside of Fort Campbell. I photographed the residence in its entirety. Copies of the photographs are attached to the case file on CD for further reference.

After searching the residence, Det. Scott and l conducted a neighborhood canvass. For a complete account of these interviews see Det. Scott's supplement.

KENTUCKY STATE POLICE KYIBRS SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT (WEST)

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2007 / 1332 HOURS I ARRIVAL ON SCENE {397 Waterford Loop, RhineYville, KY):

Sergeant Walsh and I arrived on scene at the same time. By the time we arrived the children had been secured by the troopers who first arrived. I observed several marked and unmarked cruisers parked in the roadway in front of 397 Waterford Loop. As I approached the area, I met with Trooper Eric Hines, who was in charge of securing the scene , and who was maintaining the log . He was positioned at the intersection of the roadway and entrance to the driveway. Sergeant Walsh and I checked in with Trooper Hines. Trooper Justin Spears had his cruiser parked in front of the residence.

Three children were in his car. I spoke briefly to the children asking them if they were all right. They did not appear to have, nor did any of them complain of any physical injury. Hardin County Child Protective Services had already been contacted by post and were on the way to the scene to take the children into protective custody. I requested that Post Dispatchers contact Lincoln Trail Hospital requesting trained personnel who could assist in dealing with the emotional welfare of the children. I was advised they would be sending a 'Crisis Team' to post or the advocacy center

I spoke briefly with several detectives and troopers on the scene, who advised they had done a protective sweep of the residence. The bodies of two females, apparentiy shot to death, were located inside. The decedents were later identified as Karen D Green (53YOA) and Tracey D. Smith (31YOA). There were some dogs in the residence, which the children had secured in the house for the responding troopers. The dogs were described as aggressive towrd strangers. Two dogs were allegedly secured in a bedroom with one dog running loose out in the open part of the house

In discussing the clearing of the residence, someone mentioned that the 'basement' had not been cleared. I was advised that Hardin County Animal Control was on the way in order to secure the animals and take them from the residence. We decided to do another sweep of the residence, given that there was an alleged basement, which had not been checked for other potential victims or suspects. While we were waiting on animal control, we discussed investigative assignments

He related to me and other detectives that the boy made the statement indicating that the shooter was wearing a camouflage jacket like his step-father's. His step-father was later identified as Brent Andrew Smith. Additionally, he agreed to assign uniformed troopers on the scene to complete a neighborhood canvass.

KENTUCKY STATE POLICE KYIBRS SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT (WEST)

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2007 / 1350 HOURS / REMOVAL OF DOGS FROM RESIDENCE / PROTECTIVE SWEEP:

I decided to go in with Animal Control when they arrived. This would afford me the opportunity of a scene overview during the sweep and removal of dogs. Additionally, Detectives Walker, Gillingham, and Sgt. Walsh entered the residence with us. This was sweep was conducted without incident. It was determined during the sweep that there was no basement in the residence.

PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS INSIDE RESIDENCE:

During the clearing of the residence, I observed one female (later identified as Karen Green), deceased, lying on her back on the kitchen floor. She was wearing blue sweat pants and a white T_.shirt. Her upper back was up against the south wall of the kitchen. She was lying next to a framed glass door, which led to a patio in the back of the residence. The glass in the door was shattered, with apparent bullet holes in it. There was a large amount of blood on her body, clothing, and in the general vicinity of where she was lying. There was also a deceased dog just outside of the patio door. It was readily apparent the female subject I observed in the kitchen was shot.

As we walked down the hallway south in the direction of the bedrooms, I noticed an apparent bullet hole in the west wall of the hallway, which was in line with the patio door. As we approached the rear bedroom of the residence on the left (east side) I observed another female (later identified as Tracey D. Smith) on the floor of the bedroom. She was on her knees, slumped forward. Near her head was a pool of blood.

It appeared that she had been shot in the head. I recall that she had another wound to one of her arms. In the brief time I was in the residence, I do not recall which arm. She was positioned between the bed and the north wall of the bedroom. I noted also that there was a diaper near her left foot.

We did not observe any firearms inside (or later outside) the residence. After clearing the residence for suspects and/or other victims, and removing the dogs, we exited the residence and waited for the acquisition of a search warrant

PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS OUTSIDE THE RESIDENCE:

After leaving the residence, I made the following observations outside. There were two \vehicles in the driveway of the residence. There was a dark green Chevy Camaro, 20, convertible (covered or closed. position), Tennessee registration. Detective Walker advised me he had learned that this vehicle belonged to Tracy D. Smith. I noted that the passenger seat was slid up all the way forward, toward the dash. The other vehicle was a green Chevy, Crew-Cab pickup truck, bearing Kentucky registration. This vehicle belonged to the grandfather, Kurt,Green, whom at that time we had not located

In walking through the yard to the west of the fenced residence, I saw a boat in the back of the residence bearing Kentucky registration. I also noted what appeared to be where a bullet exited the residence through a window on the west side of the residence. The window appeared to be the window to one of the children's bedrooms

Prior to being able to look all the way around the residence (outside the fenced area of the yard). I was called away from the inimediate scene by the arrival of Hardin County Social Services.

After speaking with the Hardin County Deputy Coroner, l learned that Kurt Green, previously identified as the 'grandfather,' husband of decedent Karen Green, is a commercial truck driver. He was on the way to the scene to meet with us.

Lieutenant David Lee assigned Trooper Dennis Oldham to follow up with the children's school regarding information on other family members. Lieutenant Lee learned from Trooper Oldham that (victim) Tracy Smith was currently married to Brent A. Smith. Bren't Smith is on active duty in the Army. He is assigned to Ft. Campbell as a military policeman who holds the rank of sergeant (E-5). I contacted a local FBI agent to see if I could find a CID contact for Ft. Campbell., I was put in touch with Special Agent Frank Charles in the Madisonville, KY area. SA Charles called and gave me the name of Special Agent Richard lncata, Criminal Investigative Division, Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. Shortly thereafter, I spoke with SA lncata and his Acting CID Commander, CW2 John Spann regarding information on Brent Smith. I learned that (Sergeant) Brent Smith was assigned to the 561 st Military Police Company at Ft. Campbell, Ky

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2007 / 1600 HOURS / CONTACT WITH KURT GREEN (HUSBAND OF DECEDENT: KAREN GREEN):

Upon arrival his arrival at the scene (check Jog for exact time) I briefly met with Kurt Green. I introduced myself to him. We spoke very briefly before I was interrupted by a phone call; however, I recall him stating that he assumed his wife and Karen Smith were dead. He had gotten a call from his grandson, (9YOA) Matthew Peterson, that morning. Matthew told him what had happened. Mr. Green told Matthew to hang up the phone and call 911 Immediately. From that point he proceeded to 'drop his load' and head home. At that point, I received the phone call, and left Mr. Green with other detectives who stayed and took his statement.

After my phone call, I followed up with Sergeant Walsh, who advised Mr. Green explained where he had been through the night up to the time he was called by his grandson. Detectives Matt Johnson and Jeremy Mabe followed up with official statements from him, and a student driver who was with him when he drove up to the scene in a bob-tail semi-tractor truck. Sergeant Walsh and I discussed reviewing Mr. Green's fuel tickets, manifests, taking photos of his hands, and obtaining a taped statement. We . also discussed obtaining consent to search the residence from Mr. Green.

Ultimately, it appeared that Mr. Green had an alibi for his whereabouts during the time frame of the murder. Moreover, his account of where he was and what he was doing was verifiable by other witnesses, phone calls, fuel tickets, manifests, etc. However, he gave detective's information (later related to me) that Brent Smith and Tracy Smith was having marital problems. Brent Smith had been to the residence as recently as Saturday (September 8th). Brent Smith had recently asked him (Mr. Green) what the fastest route was to Ft. Campbell (from Waterford Loop). He also related some information regarding Brent Smith 'stalking' Tracey Smith. Tracey had recently moved in with them from the Ft. Campbell area due to these problems. After a reasonable determination that Mr. Green's time and whereabouts could be accounted for, we shifted our attention to Mr. Smith with regard to his whereabouts during the time frame we suspected the murder took place

KENTUCKY STATE POLICE KYIBRS SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT (WEST)

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2007 / 1700 HOURS / INVESTIGATIVE NOTE: With regard to the time frame, witness interviews regarding trash pick-up, empty trash cans in the driveway, the victims night clothing, etc. It was determined that the time frame initially given or indicated by (9YOA) Matthew Peterson was inconsistent with the statements and circumstances mentioned above. As the preliminary investigation continued, the time frame appeared to be more between Tuesday, September 11th 0200 hours to approximately 0600 hours. See other officer supplements, medical examiner & coroner reports, witness interviews, etc. for corroboration of latent time frame.

Army CID agents at Ft. Campbell assisted us in obtaining Mr. Smith's personal information.

Mr. Smith had two weapons registered with the military. They were registered on 10-18-2000. 1) Rifle, .22 cal., LR, Ruger, Mod. 20/22, 2) Shotgun, 14,gauge, Mossburg, Mod. 500, SN: P717970. I verified with Mr. Incata that any weapons owned by soldiers living on post are required to be kept locked in that soldier's respective company arms room. If a soldier lives off base, there's no requirement for them to register and keep weapons in the company arms room.

Mr. Smith was stationed at Ft. Knox from November 2003 until April 2005. He was assigned from Ft. Knox to Ft. Campbell in April 2005 to present.

While speaking with SA lncata, I confirmed that Mr. Smith is issued a Beretta, 92F, semi- automatic, 9mm handgun for duty as an MP. This weapon is issued from the company arms room prior to his shift on Ft. Campbell and turned in when his shift ends. This is standard military operating procedure with military issued weapons.

SA lncata advised me that Mr. Smith signed in for duty at 1300 hours (CST) on Monday September 10th. He signed out at 2200 hours (CST) on Monday September 10th. He signed for his issued Beretta that day at 1235 hours (CST) and turned it in at 2200 hours (CST).

In a later conversation with Army CID, Special Agent David Greer, he advised an 'eye witness' saw Brent Smith in the parking lot at 1200 hours (CST) on Tuesday, September 11th, 2007. Of course this sighting did not preclude Mr. Smith from being in Rhineyville during the time frame of the double murder.

Whitson indicated to him and others with him that he had done something 'on a dare' and had to get rid of the clothes. Oeshaun Whitson allegedly bragged that he had 'shot two bitches.'

After speaking further with Mr. Vinson and Ms. Williamson, we asked them if they would care to get their children and allow us to interview them. They agreed to do so. Also, I requested they ask the parents of any other juvenile witnesses to come to our location for a follow up interview.

SMITH: That's--that's what the court gave her to get--to get her up on her feet and then she needed to get her own place, because I did not want her living with Karen because Eion is allergic to dogs or actually it's Matthew is allergic to cats and he and I just, I don't like the dogs inside of the house because it's unsanitary and Eion always gets really----

[??]: So there is a court order saying that she---- SMITH: Right. [??]: ----had 60 days to move out? SMITH: Right.

That's why I asked as far as, you know, about any information about who she was seeing and basically just like we are talking to you.

SMITH: Just, she was at North Hardin Heath and Rehab Center. The whole reason I was trying to fight custody is because when I called on a Friday night she said she had to work and I called and she was at a party, and I don't----

Okay. ----you know, I'm a family person---- Right. ----I don't go out and party---- Right.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

Okay. How about Toyota? No, I just drove around there, so. Okay. When you say you drove around, did you----

Patriot/Toyota is about, it sits just right across the street from each other, and then

SMITH: Wyatt-Johnson is, probably, I'd say, about 30/40 minutes.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

All right. To get there you go on the interstate, so. Now, that's a long drive, I mean, that time of night.

000731

SMITH: Well, you drive, like you go back down to go get onto I-24 and then you go up I- 24 all the way up to Exit 4, because you are at Exit 87----

GILLINGHAM: Well, I mean, basically because we are in the preliminary stages of this investigation, number one, there's not a whole lot that we do know. We still have officers out at the scene that are still collecting evidence, processing, the whole nine-yards; number two, you know, we're still trying to find out and until then we can't release a whole lot of information until, you know, we come up with something conclusive and everything so, you know, it may be several days before we know anything conclusive and we can reveal anything that we might----

WALKER: Right.

931. Roger, 931. 980? 0099. Okay. So, 931-980-9099?

000736

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

So you've been about 5 years? Seven years. Seven years. That was the magic number for me when I got out.

I don't know what I'm going to do now. It's hard enough trying to raise kids, try

SMITH: to do it by yourself in the military.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: [??]: Actually, believe it or not, retention is pretty good.

Oh, yeah, you guys just got back in? February. Okay. Everything--I know you guys deploy quite often. We are supposed to go again in May. Oh. So, your retention is pretty high or----

SMITH: my kids and no one would answer.

000737

WALKER: We've been out there. We got the call around noon, so we've been out there since noon. Nobody was home except for the kids, so like I said, that's probably why nobody's been picking up the phone.

Okay. I was trying to rest there, because I can't sleep when it's hot. Okay. And I came back in the barracks probably around 5:30/ 6 o'clock. Was your engine running or did you have it off? It was on. It was on. I had the AC running.

Okay. Okay. I don't know where in the heck Mark went. So, you came back in, you hit the barracks around 5? Around, I'd say about 5:30. Okay. And you got the top bunk or? That's my top bunch. Okay. And what time did you get up? I got up at 8:30. Okay. When you came in, your roommate was asleep? Roger. Did he wake up or? That was when I came in the first time at the 01, when I told you I came in---- Ah, hah.

SMITH: 5:30/5:45 time range to go out and smoke, so.

WALKER:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER: up?

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

Okay. So the first time you came in, he was here, he was asleep? Right, and then when I came in again, he wasn't there. Okay. Because he's always out there by 5:30/5:45 smoking a cigarette. Okay. But I mean, I guess after he got done smoking, he would have came back

He hangs out there for formation. From 5:30 to 9:00? No, because he has to be at the 0630 formation. Oh, okay. I got you.

From the debit.

The debit, and it was $83----

And that ATM machine, is that outdoors or?

No, it's indoors. I used the debit machine on the inside.

Hm, hmm.

And they just give me the cash back.

Okay. So it was outside? It has been a long day. I mean, it's--I started my day at the morning and usually I get off at 6; work 4 10's and-----

SMITH: how it works.

WALKER:

SMITH: subjects.

WALKER: SMITH:

Right. I understand that. I mean, I'll do whatever you want me to do, I mean. Okay. I mean, to--I guess, to prove my innocence, I guess, I'll do whatever. Okay. Well, I----

[Inaudible.] ----I appreciate your cooperation.

I mean, I'm sure, you know, I'm considered a subject right now because I know I mean,----

Um, hmm. ----husbands, ex-husbands, whatever are all considered, you know, possible

Right.

So, I mean----

WALKER: SMITH: CSI.

Okay. There you go. I mean, I'll do anything you guys want me to do, I mean. Okay. Would you take a polygraph test? [Inaudible.] I mean, I don't want to--I mean, basically you watch TV and you understand it, I

Right.

I mean, you guys were going through hard times and stuff and like I said, we've

And you know the percentage, I mean, a lot of times, I mean--well, I mean, you know, you watch TV just like I do.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

WALKER: to that information, so.

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

Did they touch my kids at all? Huh? Did they touch my kids at all? No, they are okay.

Were they harmed or are they safe or?

WALKER: and you now brought that up.

SMITH: WALKER:

Well, I mean, I just--I actually wanted----

I mean, I'm a parent, too, and stuff and----

Well, I'm talking about real TV. Yeah. I mean, like the news [laughing]. Yeah, I ah--you can take this if you want to. It's the only good jeans I got, really. Okay.

So. Yeah, I don't know where---- Did you talk to the kids at all? Huh? I mean, did the kids say anything?

Yeah, they--well, we've got some information from them, but we've got to hold on

Yeah, yeah, one thing I mean, we've been hanging out for a couple of hours now

SMITH: WALKER: Okay. I'm sorry, I didn't hear it and stuff.

I mean, I actually asked if my kids were okay when you first came in and you said, okay. The other guy, I asked him.

000764

SMITH: No, I mean, I--I've--I've been told by my chaplain and the commander and the first sergeant that they are all fine, but----

WALKER: Okay. Okay.

SMITH: ----I mean, I know they are fine if Curt's got them. It's just--you know, I told you, man, I asked you if they were okay and you said, yes.

WALKER: SMITH:

Right.

So.

We're--like I said, we're--I mean, we're trying to talk to everybody, Curt and see, I mean. Apparently it looks like whoever the person was knows--knew the family, so I mean, that's--I mean, that's--I mean, that's pretty much what I can say.

I mean, it could be--it could be a lot of people. There's---- Exactly, that's what I'm saying. I mean, so don't feel--don't feel that, I mean--I

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER: mean----

WALKER: Right. SMITH: [Inaudible.]

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

Right, that is true. That's not my business, so. Yeah. We---- Are you going to take that? Are you going to take any of these shoes or?

I mean, it's just kind of surprising to me that Curt came back this afternoon

SMITH: because he's usually gone from fuckin Sunday to Friday, that's----

000765

WALKER: Well, I'm going to take these and I don't know what happened to my colleague, but I tell you what, we'll go ahead and lock up and if he wants to look at something else----

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

Do you need to take those too?

Well, I got [pause]----

What uniform did you have on yesterday?

This one.

This one?

Roger.

Okay.

Do you want me to take it off, too?

Yeah, if you don't mind.

Do you want the boots, too. They are the only boots I've got.

Huh, no, not the boots.

[Inaudible.] Now, am I going to get these back or what?

Ah, yeah, yeah. I mean, like I said, basically what we could do is, basically it's

elimination. I mean, everybody that had a relationship with--with Tracy and

WALKER: just process Karen we got to--I mean, it's----

of

SMITH: All of the---- WALKER: ----so you are not----

000766

SMITH: All of her dogs were all loveable except for Zoe. He is the only one that--he's the big, fat, white dog.

WALKER: Um, hmm.

SMITH: He's the only one. He's pretty calm, I mean, he's gotten a lot better than he was, I mean [inaudible].

Do you want my socks, too? Nah, nah. All right. This is a case like yesterday was. Oh okay. [Inaudible.] Okay. I had a case with him yesterday? What was that about? [Inaudible.] Do you want me to keep the patches on there or no?

WALKER: was thinking about it the other day. I pulled up and I was at the red light and like I said, being E- Town post, we are right down the street from Fort Knox and we see a lot of GI's, and a guy pulled up next to me and I looked over. I never thought about it, those uniforms have been out for a couple of years. I just realized that you can't roll up the sleeves.

SMITH: Yeah, you can't roll up the sleeves.

WALKER: So it's kind of like you are in the field 24/7, because you know back in garrison with the old BDUs, you could, in the summertime, you could have your sleeves rolled up.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

[Inaudible.] Yeah, my partner, he's a smoker, so I'd say he's still outside smoking. The shirt too? Nah, nah, that's fine.

Ah, no, you can take the patches off. How do you like those new uniforms? I

000767

GILLINGHAM: Um, what are we doing now?

WALKER: Well, I guess we're going to go back to the vehicle and just take some pictures of the vehicle, if that's okay with you?

SMITH: That's fine. WALKER: And then after [coughing]--after that we'll be done. GILLINGHAM: I think we may need to talk just a few more minutes. WALKER: Okay, okay. GILLINGHAM: If you don't mind. It is---- WALKER: Okay. Sounds good. SMITH: So you want to look at the van?

GILLINGHAM: So what I will probably just do is--oh, I need to go back here and talk to somebody real quick. Just five me like 2 or 3 more minutes and I'll be back out.

000768

WALKER: Okay. [??]: Where's the keys, Larry, I'll go with you. [??]: I'll just go with you Mark, if you don't care? GILLINGHAM: No, not at all. [??]: Mark, I'm just going to throw these in the trunk.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

So where are you--are you originally from Illinois? Yes, sir. Just set them right there. Do you want me to go with you?

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: [??]: May I help you, sir? WALKER: Huh?

I don't know now. Yeah, we'll go over in the common area. Like, I said, now, I don't know. I've got to do what's best for my kids right now. I've got a son who's 9 and a daughter who is 16. [Inaudible.] Like my son had a football scrimmage this evening but. [Inaudible.]

[??]: May I help you?

WALKER: Oh, okay, we want to hang out here. We are going to go back. I'm Larry Walker. I'm with the state police up in E-Town. If you want, we can just come back here and we'll sit back here.

Did we collect the hat, too? You can take the hat if you want, sir. Okay. That's the only one I got for that one.

Spray and Wash, because it was only like a little, maybe a spot like that, and I off completely.

Okay. Because I don't like getting hats dirty. I don't like to wear them. I just collect

Okay. Why did you--I mean, why did you just lie to me and tell me that you your hat?

I didn't wash it. I scrubbed it off. Now, you know what I meant. Okay, I washed it. I scrubbed it off. Like I said, if you don't want to help me, I can't help you. I mean, do you want me to show you exactly what I did? I mean----

I took the hat and I went there, I got the scrub brush----

----the dirt was right here, [inaudible] right here, about that long, and I scrubbed it

000778

WALKER: Now is there anything else we need to know? Because like I said, we--I mean, additional stuff pops up, I mean, maybe it doesn't make you look very----

[??]: Sergeant, it doesn't help your story. It's just not that good right now, okay. This is a terrible, terrible time.

WALKER: Right.

[??]: It's very important that you tell us the truth the best that you can remember and you don't need to--to say things you think we want to hear. You don't want to say things that other people said. You just need to tell us the things that you remember, the best you can, as honestly as you can, and you haven't done that yet.

SMITH: Okay.

WALKER: I mean, I just [inaudible] you are under a lot of stress, even--I mean, of course, I mean, finding out your wife was shot and killed, but even before then, you was under a lot of stress, correct?

SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response given.] WALKER: People do things---- [??]: I mean----

WALKER: SMITH:

Okay. People do things that they don't mean to do. Sometimes it's kind of like a snowball effect, once it starts out small and then----

SMITH: It just gets bigger and bigger. WALKER: ----it gets bigger and bigger. You know what I'm saying? SMITH: I know what you are saying. [??]: But, as men, it's never bigger than we are. WALKER: We talked to your kids, okay, and they told us some stuff.

WALKER:

----you've never been in trouble before, right?

[Inaudible or nonverbal response given.]

000779

[??]: That kids shouldn't have to know. It's a terrible tragedy of trauma that they don't need to be a participant in and have to witness, right?

SMITH: Roger, that's why I want to see my kids, but you guys won't let me leave.

WALKER: Okay. And so I think you really need to think about what happened as far as what happened up in E-Town.

SMITH: What do you mean, on Saturday? WALKER: No, I'm talking about---- [??]: Last night.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

----last night. I wasn't even up there. Or this morning. I wasn't even up there. So, I mean, you're sitting out in the parking lot for hours and hours.

[??]: Sarge, you've just got a lot to think about, you've got a lot to talk about, a lot of things we've got to work through, and I can assure you, no matter how long it takes, we will get to the bottom and we will get to the truth, and I know that's what you want. The truth we can help with.

SMITH: I didn't do it. I wouldn't---- [??]: We are all human beings and we each make mistakes.

SMITH: I didn't do it. I didn't even go up to Fort Knox on--or to Rineyville, I didn't go up there. The last time I was there was on Saturday.

WALKER: Put yourself in my shoes, okay. Like you said before, I mean, you said you watch TV and you see stuff on TV, you see the news reports out. How women are--they turn up missing and you see the end results a lot of time. What's the end results?

SMITH: If they do the crime, you always get caught. WALKER: No, no, no, no, who--a lot of times the person who committed the crime----

000780

SMITH: Is usually a relative or a person they know.

WALKER: Okay. And that's what we talked about before. And the reason why we came down here, because you are the husband, which that's, if you was to put yourself in my shoes, you-----

[??]: [Inaudible.]

WALKER: ----would have to do the same thing, come and make contact with me. Now, when we made contact with you, your story is that, you got off from work, you went and drove 30 miles to look at some vehicles, then you came back to post and you sat out in the parking lot for a couple of hours, and then you came up and went to bed. I mean, that's----

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER: you gassed

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

Well, don't forget about taking to Michelle and Lindsey, too.

Right, right, you talked to them before you went to the car lot, correct?

Right, right.

I mean, that's what we've got. That's the only thing we've got to work with.

I mean, I'll give you the numbers if you want to call and talk to them.

No, I believe that. I believe that. But that was around 1 o'clock. That was before up, correct?

[Inaudible or nonverbal response given.] You gassed up at what time, 1? 1:30 or so.

WALKER: hours that's mean, did you talk to anybody else? Did you talk to anybody at 3 o'clock?

1:30, okay. So you gassed up at 1:30. So between 1:30 to 6 o'clock, we've got 5 unaccounted for, other than just going on your word what you are telling me. I

SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response given.]

000781

WALKER: Is there--can we go out and go to the gas station and pull video tapes that you was at a gas station at 3 o'clock or at 4 o'clock or anything like that to----

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

WALKER: the exact times on the credit card information. Well, let's say it's 1:30. So you gassed up at 1:30 and between 1:30 and 5:30 you said you came back to the Pilot station--which I think you told me the first time you gassed up at 5:30. So, when you came--when you stopped back at the Pilot station, you didn't gas up again, twice?

SMITH: No, I didn't [inaudible.] WALKER: Okay. Are you sure----

[??]: And I don't mean to interrupt, Sergeant, but when you say gas up, did you fill up or just how much did you put in? Do you remember?

SMITH:

The first time I filled up--I mean, that time I filled up, I----

Well, you said the first time. So when----

Okay. Then why did you just say "first time?" Because---- Do you mean the first time you went to the Pilot or first time? The first time I went to the Pilot---- Okay. ----I got gas. The second time, I went and got a drink.

I bought a Mountain Dew---- ----to verify your story? I bought some--I bought a Mountain Dew at the gas station--the Pilot, again. Okay. What time was that? 5:30, 5/5:30.

Okay. So between 1:30--from the time you gassed up at 1:30--well, we will get

SMITH: WALKER:

Not the first time. When I did it, it was right after I got done seeing Michelle and Lindsey, I went and I filled up. That was the only time that I filled up.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

000782

WALKER: Okay.

[??]: The same Pilot?

SMITH: Yes.

WALKER: Well, let me ask you this, okay. You are on Fort Campbell around 3 o'clock, so you are going back off post again to get something to drink?

SMITH: I just like going out there, I mean. WALKER: But you got to help me. I can't help you if you don't help me. [??]: Sarge, this ain't looking good at all. It ain't looking good.

WALKER: SMITH:

Like I said, I'm prior military. Okay, I was stationed at Fort Knox. I'm--if I'm on Fort Knox, I'm going--not going to drive to Radcliff to get me something to drink. You know, I'm sure----

[??]: As much as gas is. How much does gas cost off post? SMITH: It's cheaper off post than it is on.

WALKER: So you're saying that you gassed up at 1:30, drove to the car lots in Clarksville, you go to the car lot in Hoptown, you come onto post, you go to sleep in the parking lot, then you wake up and you go down to the Pilot station again to buy what type of soft drink?

SMITH: Mountain Dew [inaudible.] WALKER: Okay. Okay. So, I mean, I just----

[??]: We just got a lot to work on. There's a lot to find out, and a long ways to do it. Was there people at that time of the morning, Sarge, did you see people along the street, people that you knew or did you stop and talk to anybody?

SMITH: No. [??]: Did you see any police out in Hoptown or anywhere? SMITH: I seen Oak Grove.

WALKER:

There's gas stations, probably 24-hour stores here on Fort Campbell.

There's 24-hour shoppettes.

000783

[??]: Oak Grove cop? SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.] [??]: Did he talk to you or anything? SMITH: I didn't know who he was.

[??]: I mean, you didn't get pulled over, stopped, or anything, because you guys probably have a pretty good working relationship with those guys, probably, don't you? Do you know some of them?

SMITH:

[??]: Okay.

SMITH:

WALKER: lot, you are

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER: out front?

SMITH:

WALKER: coming and

SMITH: come in.

The only one I know is EK and [inaudible.]

That's all I know.

Okay. So when you was sitting out in the parking lot, when you say the parking sitting out in this parking lot?

Roger, the big parking lot on post, sir. Where you came from, the MP Station or? No, the one here. Okay. [Inaudible.] Did any vehicles come in? Anybody who could verify that you was sitting out--

[Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

I mean, at that time of day, I'd say there probably wasn't a whole lot of traffic going. I mean, usually everybody is in bed.

I seen the first sergeant come in and that was at 05, 05 is [inaudible]. I seen him

[??]: Who? SMITH: The first sergeant.

000784

[??]: The first sergeant comes in at 05? SMITH: 05 [inaudible.] [??]: Did the first sergeant see you? SMITH: I was sitting out in the parking lot and he just drove right on in.

WALKER: Okay. Well--okay, he came in at 05 so you're between 05--so after 05, that's when you went to the Pilot station, but you got to work with me. I mean, it's not--it's not adding up.

[??]: Sarge, which one--which locker is yours, sir. SMITH: This one. [??]: The first one? SMITH: Yes. Only half of it is mine.

[??]: Okay. Which half is yours? The right half, sir? SMITH: The top half. [??]: Okay. [Pause.]

[??]: And you are saying that's [inaudible.] SMITH: This right here is mine. This is not mine. [Inaudible.] WALKER: Get his hat and get it in a bag. [??]: This is--do you guys share this refrigerator? SMITH: Roger. [??]: Have you bought anything to put in here lately, even to share or---- [Inaudible.] [??]: That's what you bought? SMITH: Yep.

000785

[??]: Did you have any other sodas or anything before you bought it? SMITH: Just a regular Mountain Dew, just one of the 20 ounce ones.

WALKER: But you can see how it looks, some people could say, well, you gassed up at 1:30- ---

[??]: Why didn't you just----

WALKER: ----you went out of town. I mean, you got back into town. I believe you was at the Pilot station at 5:30, but some people may say you gassed up at 1:30, went to Hardin County, and then came back, and when you came back in you stopped to get something to drink and you came back to the barracks. That's how--I mean, that's how some people could see it that way. I mean, I believe you was at the Pilot twice. The bad thing about it is that, for you to say that you was in the parking lot at 05 and shortly after 05 you drive back off post to get a Mountain Dew, I mean, you can see how that looks.

Like, I said, I mean, it's--I mean, it is what it is. Okay. But like I said, I can't help you if you don't help me. People do stuff because they are under a lot of stress. Okay. We're--we're all--we've all done stuff that we're not proud of doing.

[??]: Sometimes if we have anger issues, this multiplies it and it gets way out of hand and it's not the first time it's ever happened, unfortunately. And as men, we can deal with that, with the truth. Now you are involved in an organization that believes in the truth, who lives for the truth, we die for the truth, and that's we need to hear today, tonight, sir. Am I correct?

SMITH: Yes, sir.

[??]: And that's what you want us to seek is the truth? And I can tell you, we will, right, Sergeant?

WALKER: You have a big whale on your chest right now, I can tell.

[??]: The truth, Sergeant, and you know there's men dying there every day for it, every day, for the simple truth.

SMITH: I didn't go to Hardin County, I can tell you that right now, because when I go up there all the way, it takes me a little over 3 hours.

WALKER: We just came down. We know exactly--we know how you could get----

000786

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

70 miles an hour all the way. Huh? 70---- We, we know.

[??]: If I was scared, excited, I wouldn't be driving 70 miles an hour, Sergeant. That's not

going to fly.

WALKER: It's----

[??]: The truth, Sergeant, come on, the truth. Tell us.

SMITH: I was no in Hardin County, sir.

[??]: Okay. That's the truth?

SMITH: That's the truth. I was not in Hardin County.

[??]: Okay. So if we find one video camera, one tape, someplace where it puts you in Hardin County, what's that going to be, a lie?

SMITH: Roger.

[??]: Okay. You know we are going to look and we are going to look hard, because this is not the kind of thing that happens in our community every day, you know that.

SMITH: No, sir.

[??]: Thank God. Okay. And I pray for you that you get the strength to endure this [inaudible]. My heart goes out to you for the truth, with the truth.

SMITH: I wasn't there. I--I was not there. Period. [??]: So, do you have any idea who would do this, Sergeant? SMITH: No. I have no idea who would want to do this. [??]: Are you curious? Are you curious about that? WALKER: Obviously, somebody was upset. SMITH: Yes, yes, I am.

000787

WALKER: SMITH:

Now you would agree that the person who did this was upset?

Yes.

I mean, I--usually people don't get shot for no reason. You've got to give somebody a reason to shoot them, I mean, right?

[??]: At point blank, in front of small kids, that takes more than just your average duty shooting, your average deer hunter doesn't do that, right?

SMITH: I don't know---- [??]: Not every man could do that. SMITH: And I would never put my kids in harm's way, never. WALKER: But the kids told us some stuff that does not look very good for you. Okay?

[??]: And anger and not thinking rationally can make us do things that we wouldn't normally do. I mean, that's just a fact. And I trust you, Sarge, you would never put your kids in harm's way. Consciously, thinking clearly, you would never do that. I can tell you love your kids. You would never do that. But you know, they've got to live through this for how long?

SMITH: The rest of their lives. [??]: Just like you. They've got to live with it for the rest of their life, even Matthew.

WALKER:

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

SMITH: say, like, "No, I don't want to talk to him" or "I don't want to talk to him. He's a bad daddy right now because he's not here."

[??]: Well, he misses you when he says that, right? SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.] [??]: And you miss him, do you not? WALKER: So you are saying Eion could be lying?

Would there be a reason why your kids would lie? Sir? Would there be a reason why your kids would lie, say something that's not true?

Eion, I mean, Eion gets mad at me when I try to talk to him on the phone and he'll

000788

SMITH: He's a smart kid. [??]: And he wouldn't lie, right, Sergeant? He doesn't lie.

WALKER: You are correct. That's the first--you hit it dead on the nail. He's a smart kid. I'd watch for him, because he is a really smart kid.

[??]: Very sharp, very respectful, and I believe to be very honest, and you have a lot to do with that. Sarge, they get a lot of it from you. So don't hold anything back. [Inaudible] and don't betray them by leading us on a [inaudible] if that's what's happened.

They do not deserve this.

WALKER: Is there any reason why the older child, Matthew, would he lie?

SMITH: Can't think of any.

[??]: Well, Sarge, how do you describe your relationship with--let's take Matthew, not your child, your wife's child, right?

SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

[??]: How would you describe that relationship between you and him?

SMITH: It's been rough.

[??]: [Inaudible.] Such as?

SMITH: I mean, I love Matthew to death and you know, I'm always----

[??]: But he is not your child. You love your children and I've saw that. I helped escort them from that house. Some scene that I will never forget and I've been doing this for a long time.

Terrible wasn't it? SMITH: Well, I imagine [inaudible].

[??]: Sure you do, you feel it, because you are a part--their blood is part of you. Your blood is part of them. Horrific----

[??]: You need to talk to us, man. SMITH: [Inaudible.] WALKER: I mean, are your kids alive?

000789

[??]: Horrific. Sarge, if you were involved, we can get through this. We can help your kids. We can explain to them. We will get them all the help we can get.

SMITH: I wasn't there. Okay.

[??]: Okay. Sarge, right now, all the facts, all of the evidence doesn't tell us that. Okay. It doesn't say that. You have crossed your story over about 65 times since we have been here, and your friends, who are loyal to you, have told the truth and it doesn't match your story. I do see you are upset and you should be, take it into account. And I can assure you, Sergeant, we----

[??]: [Inaudible.]

[??]: ----will find the truth, okay. I promise you that. There's several men on the scene right now and there will be tomorrow. Of course there's going to be autopsies, which will prove some things, which will tell us all a lot, and you being a guy with some experience knows some of the things that we can do--we can do things now. We all know that when someone goes into a scene, they take things from the scene, they take things into the scene.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

On what day did you give the gun to Tracy? It was two weekends ago. It was, I think, on a Friday. And who was holding the gun for you? Sergeant Devane.

Sergeant Devane, who is being interviewed by Detective Mark Gillingham as we

WALKER: speak. So, you got the gun from----

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER: same day?

SMITH:

Sergeant Devane. ----Sergeant Devane. Because he kept it at the house for a while. And when did you give it to Tracy? About two weeks ago. So basically you got the gun from Sergeant Devane and you give it to Tracy the

No, I didn't give it to her the same day.

000790

When did you give it to her? About a week later, after she came down. So it was last week then? If you got the gun from Sergeant Devane two weeks

It's been more than two weeks ago that I got it, because he was---- Would there be any reason why Sergeant Devane would lie? No, I don't know--I don't know how long it's been since I got the gun. Okay.

It's been more than two weeks. Well, you gave--did Tracy call you and ask for the gun? She asked what I was going to do with it. Why did you bring the gun up when we first met? Why? Yeah. I don't know. I didn't say anything about a gun. I mean, all this divorce stuff and----

WALKER: SMITH:

WALKER: ago.

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

WALKER: detectives have been doing it longer than me. When we met earlier this evening, the first thing you brought up was this Ruger. Hell, it's amazing how you brought this Ruger up and we didn't mention anything about firearms. Why would you--why would you disclose that to us?

SMITH: Because my commander told me that she was shot and she was killed. WALKER: Okay. [??]: [Inaudible.] What did the commander tell you again [inaudible] and what? SMITH: He said they were killed; they were shot.

I've been doing this 12 years and he's been doing it longer than me, and other

000791

WALKER: SMITH:

But why would you--okay, they was shot; they was killed; but why would you--so I guess you assumed that you was a suspect or is that why you wanted us to know?

SMITH: I mean, if you guys are interviewing me, I am assumed to be a subject. WALKER: Well, we have witnesses; you knew the victims, I mean.

I wasn't BSing you earlier when I told you we were going to have to go out and interview everybody that has--that are friends or family members of Tracy and Karen. I mean, I wasn't BSing you on that. But I mean, I thought it was kind of odd that you, as soon as we sat down, you was talking about this Ruger, that happens to be a 9mm.

[??]: And Sergeant Smith, I know sometimes it's hard to----

WALKER:

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: [??]: A military policeman.

Okay.

[Inaudible.]

Oh no, we'll go--I take that back. Is it .40 or .45, you said? Ithinkitwasa.40ora.45. Ithinkitwasa.40. You think? Now, this is your gun. You're a military guy. Well, I got it from her dad.

WALKER: How long did you have the gun? I don't care if you are a cook. If you are in the military, you know the difference between a .22, a 9mm and so forth and so forth. Now, you got the gun from?

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

Her dad. Her dad. Right. So when did you get the gun from her dad? Like I said, we're probably in the

WALKER: process of talking to him as we speak.

[??]: Well, we already know how he got the gun. We know what happened. SMITH: Easter.

000792

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

Easter of 2007? Right. You fired a gun? At home in July. Because you bought bullets for a gun? Yes.

So you know what bullets you bought, you went to the store and said, I want a

WALKER: box of .40. I want a box of .45. Correct?

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

SMITH: at home. That

Yeah. So which is it? Is it .40 or .45? That one is a .40, but I bought other rounds for my dad's pistol, too. The Ruger is a .40? Yes. The one that you gave Tracy? Yes. So now you are confident it is a .40? Yeah, it's a P--P90, something like that. Just a minute ago, you wasn't sure if it could have been a .45. You see where I'm going with this? I don't. I'm thinking right now, okay. So it's a .40? It's a P90, I think is what it's [inaudible.] Okay. Ruger P90/40.

It had a 9 in it. I can't remember. I barely looked at it. I only shot it that one time was it. That was the only time I ever looked at it.

000793

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: [??]: Expensive stuff.

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

Roger. What day was that? That was in July, the first part of July. Okay. Either the end of June, very end of June, or the first part of July.

How many times did you shoot it? I only shot, damn, 15/20 rounds, that's it. How many rounds? Between 15 and 20. 15/20. I had a whole box of the Teflon rounds [inaudible]. It's a box of 50, right? No, they come in a box of 20, but they are Teflon rounds. Okay. So you got the good stuff then.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

SMITH: to Grandpa's, okay, when I went to Grandpa's before I went home on leave, I bought 12-guage, I bought .22, I bought .32, I bought 9mm for my grandfather's weapon, and I bought .40s. I spent close to $80 on rounds, $80 to $90 on rounds

[??]: On the same day, Sergeant; the same store down here you are talking about? SMITH: Yes, at Granpa's. [??]: At where? Is it called "Grandpa's?"

The stuff that we use. Okay. So you knew you shot the whole box, right? Right. So why did you tell your patrol partner that you may have some ammo?

I thought I might have ammo left from a different weapon. I mean, when I went

000794

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH: myself shot

So I am assuming you probably used a credit card? Roger. Was that the U.S. Bank? Roger.

All right. Is that the only credit card you have? Roger. It was $80? $80 or $90, I think. It was about $80.

And you think it was July?

I went on July 1st on leave [inaudible].

Okay. Did you shoot this gun in Illinois?

Yes.

Okay.

Because with [inaudible], Price, my little brother, and my dad also shot it, and it.

[??]: So you bought, what did you say, almost $80 or $89 worth of ammo? WALKER: So we are going to---- [??]: Where is this ammo at, Sarge? Where's all that ammo? SMITH: That's all inside the house in Illinois.

[??]: Illinois, okay.

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

Because my grandfather has got all of the weapons up there. Okay. Now where's the---- He has my 12-guage and my .22. Okay.

000795

SMITH: The .32.

WALKER: But at one time they was at your house and when you moved to the barracks you had to take them to--send everything to----

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER: Tracy the gun?

To Illinois. ----Illinois. Because I can't keep it here in the barracks. Now when did you--where did you get the gun--at what location did you give

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: [??]: Was that----

At the house. Here in Clarksville? [Inaudible or nonverbal response given.] And how long ago was that?

SMITH: About two weeks ago, because actually she came to the house and it was laying on the couch, and she--she asked me again about it [inaudible] and I was like, "Here, just go ahead and take it." I said, "I don't need it and I can't take it on post." I'm not [inaudible].

WALKER: You thought it was two weeks ago?

SMITH: Because she was saying she needed the money and her dad was--she just wanted to get it back to her dad. Because she fought really hard for that pistol in the divorce.

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

So, basically it sounds like that--that this gun, you got it from---- Her dad. ----Sergeant Aulden, two weeks ago. I mean, that's what he is telling us. Do you mean Sergeant Devane?

Huh? Sergeant Devane?

000796

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

WALKER: why did Sergeant Devane have the gun, because of domestic? Were you ordered to give Sergeant Devane the gun?

SMITH: safety because

WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER:

I gave Sergeant Devane the gun just for my own personal, you know, advanced he understood the stress that I was going through and----

So you weren't ordered by no chain of command to give---- [Inaudible or nonverbal response given.] Are you sure? Yes.

Okay. So you freely---- I gave it to him freely because---- Went to Sergeant Devane and said---- Right. ----I'm having personal problems?

SMITH: gave him the gun.

WALKER: correct.

SMITH: WALKER: SMITH:

He said--he said he didn't want me to do anything stupid so he fucking took it or I So did he ask for it or did you come to--I mean, this is important to get this

He--he--he asked me about the weapon. Okay. So he knew you was under stress? Right.

Sergeant Devane. It might have been about three weeks ago and I had it in my house for a week. Okay. It was just sitting in my house.

Well, why did you get the gun back in the first place? Well, let me ask you this,

000797

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

So he takes the gun, about three weeks ago or two weeks ago? About three weeks ago. Three weeks ago. And a week later, Tracy comes---- Picks up the weapon.

Picks up the weapon. Why did you ask Sergeant Devane for the gun back? Just because I was clearing out my house, because that was in my van and I can't

SMITH: have it in my van coming on post and it was in my van.

WALKER: Okay.

SMITH: And that's why I gave it to him, because I didn't want to get in trouble. Because if I have a weapon that is registered on post, I could get apprehended----

WALKER: And charged. Right. Right. I know, I lived in the barracks. You have to have everything registered and whatnot.

So, Tracy comes to the house, she picks up the gun; you don't know what Tracy did with the gun afterwards?

SMITH: She went to the--she could have put it in her storage unit over on Summerhaven Storage [sp] or she could have took it home with her. I don't know.

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER: the divorce

SMITH:

Did she say what she was going to do with it?

She said she needed money. She was going to pawn it, but----

But you said our divorce, it sounded like she wanted the gun because----

She did want the gun.

----it was for sentimental reasons? Or, I mean, is it mentioned in the paperwork, proceedings?

Roger.

Did you get the impression that she wanted the gun because it was sentimental, SMITH: To her parents, but I bought her dad the Glock [inaudible] millimeter.

WALKER: meaning it belongs to her parents?

000798

WALKER:

SMITH: dad----

WALKER:

SMITH:

WALKER: she got this

SMITH:

WALKER: I got my gun from Brent. And if nobody--I have a feeling that nobody is going to tell us that, yeah, Tracy said that she got the Ruger. That's just--I'm just taking a good guess that's the response we are going to get. When we go ahead and talk to Curt, where she's living, in their house, he's probably going to not have a clue what we are talking about when we ask him if Tracy came home with a gun.

SMITH:

WALKER:

SMITH:

She probably could have gotten [inaudible] too. She could have did a lot of things. But you see how this makes it look on you? [Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

But you think that she wanted it because she wanted to pawn it? I thought she was going to pawn it [inaudible.] And I paid $550 for a gun for her

Okay.

----and then he gave me $300 and that pistol as a--like a barter gift.

So she got this gun and more than likely she probably told family members that gun. Does that make sense?

Probably.

So we need to go out and interview people and see if she told anybody that, yeah,

[??]: When did you give her the gun?

SMITH: About two weeks ago.

[??]: Okay. I just finished talking to Sergeant Devane. He said you picked up the gun 10 days

ago. SMITH: 10 days ago? [??]: 10 days ago; Friday. SMITH: I picked it up before that.

[??]: Friday before, because he's been on lockdown and it was the day before he went into lockdown at the NCO Academy. He left it in the front seat of James'----

000799

SMITH: That's been probably two weeks ago [inaudible].

[??]: He--he was for certain that it was the weekend before, because he said he was off. He had to work and then he was not going to be--not going to be at home. He worked platoon duty Monday and Tuesday and then he was off for a couple of days, and then he went straight into lockdown on the 6th. He was very, very adamant about that. Very adamant about the date. He said it was no more--he said it was a Thursday or Friday night/Saturday morning and the weapon was placed in its case, in the front of James' van, under the seat.

SMITH: [Inaudible.] [??]: I believe he said, "James." SMITH: James Blank. [??]: James Blank. SMITH: It was in his--it was underneath the driver's seat.

[??}: The driver's seat; and he said that was on--on or about, I think he said, the 1st or 2d, whatever that Friday would have been, Friday night, Saturday morning. Because he was not home that night, because he went out with some friends to go drinking because he knew he was getting ready to go into lockdown at the NCO Academy.

SMITH: I didn't know he was going to PLDC until last week. [??]: That's what he told me. SMITH: No, it's been about two weeks ago that I got the weapon, sir. [??]: According to him, you didn't pick it up from his house.

SMITH: No, I picked it up from James.

[??]: Well, James lives right next door, correct?

SMITH: Yes.

[??]: So, I mean, basically we are still talking about the same thing. He said it was 10 days ago, not 14, not more than 14.

WALKER: So you went out and got it from a vehicle. Did he know you were getting it?

000800

SMITH: Roger.

[??]: Why did he have--why did he have the weapon in the first place?

SMITH: Just for my personal safety and he didn't want me to do anything stupid.

[??]: So he was concerned that you might do something stupid with the weapon?

SMITH: I guess, me, yea, because he understood I was under a lot of stress, because me and him talk a lot and he didn't want me doing anything bad against me.

WALKER: While you was gone, we was talking to Sergeant Smith and we went over the timeline. Apparently, which I believe he was at the gas station twice. He gassed up at 1:30; then he came--he went looking at the vehicles, he got back to post around 3, and he sat out in the parking lot until around 5, seen the first sergeant come in, and he got a little thirsty and went back off post to the Pilot to buy a Mountain Dew, and came back on post. And I was telling Sergeant Smith that--that's a little problematic right there as far as, him sitting on post at 5 o'clock in the morning and he decided to go back off post for a Mountain Dew.

[??]: Absolutely.

WALKER: Then we talked about the hat, where initially he didn't have a hat on or he didn't wash a hat, but then he did. He didn't wash it in the washer, he admitted he washed it by hand, but he didn't really understand what I was talking about as far as--he thought I was--the reason why -- I'm not saying he lied to me -- but he was under the impression that I was asking if he had washed it in the washer. That's why he didn't disclose the fact that he washed it by hand, because I didn't----

[??]: Sergeant Smith, how long have you been an MP? SMITH: Since---- [??]: Trooper Odham, can you close that door for me, please? ODHAM: Yeah, sure can. SMITH: Since '99. [??]: Since '99, okay. So you've been doing this what, coming up on 8 years now? SMITH: Yes, sir.

000801

[??]: All right. When you respond to a call and you are talking to people, you get the idea and the impression from talking to them when they are telling you the truth and when they are telling you a lie?

SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.] [??]: Do you think you're pretty good at it? SMITH: Sometimes, sir.

[??]: My job, I've kind of got a unique job in the state police and I'm what they call a forensic interviewer. I’ve been trained to look at people when they are talking to me, I’ve been trained to look at body signs, body language, verbiage, the whole nine-yards. Right now I can honestly say that I probably caught you in approximately four or five lies, if you will.

WALKER: Also, Detective Gillingham, we haven’t discussed about the ammo, as far as what happened on patrol the other night and initially he didn’t have a clue what I was talking about, but then he did recall that he thought he had some ammo in the van and he actually went out and checked the glove box and realized there was no ammo in the glove box and we had talked about that for a little bit.

[??]: You know, here’s my thinking. Again, I’ve been doing this coming up on 14 years now. I’m pretty darn good at what I do. I believe if we look at cell phone records, we’ll see you made a call to your ex-wife, soon-to-be ex-wife on or about 7--on or about Saturday, somewhere around 11, 11:30 in the morning. She had a friend standing right next to her who heard the entire conversation. Now you originally told me that you spoke to her last Wednesday or Thursday. I believe I can prove----

WALKER: Yeah, you said that you called---- [??]: I believe I can prove that you talked to her on Saturday.

WALKER: SMITH:

It wasn’t--you remember, if we made a phone call----

Roger.

----if a person picks up, it’s going to give us how many seconds, how many minutes. You said that you hadn’t talked to her, you said it was last Wednesday, right?

WALKER:

000802

However, we’ve got information that apparently you did have a conversation with her and we are probably going to find out that there was a conversation since Saturday.

[??]: I talked to a lot of people---- WALKER: And what he just said, that there was some Saturday.

[??]: ----and here’s—here’s what I’ve determined so far: Number one, I’ve talked to several people and they say, number one, you have an anger problem. A lot of people have said that; Number two, like I said, I’ve caught you in several lies. That’s going to be a problem; Number three, several people have said you love your kids more than anything and you’d rather see your wife dead than for her to have the kids; Number four, she probably may or may not, we hvaen’t proved it yet, probably been having an affair on you. That’s got to weigh heavy on a person.

WALKER: And that’s what we told you before, I mean, people—you’re a good guy---- [??]: Right. WALKER: ----people have said----

[??]: Here’s--here’s what I need. Here’s what I need to find out – in my opinion, you got off work last night at 2227 hours. I know that because I talked to PFC Aulden and he said that he called his wife as soon as he and you walked out to your vehicles going off duty last night. He looked that up on his cell phone. He called her at 2227 hours. I believe you left. You may have done--run an errand, talked to----

WALKER: Lindsey and Michelle. [??]: ----Michelle and Lindsey for a little bit. WALKER: We believe that. We believe that.

[??]: Come back to your room. But then we have almost 7 hours, 6 and a half hours that we can’t account for where nobody seen you, you have no alibi, you told us you got here at 5 o’clock in the morning; your roommate woke up at 5:30, you were not here. He left at 0605 to fallout for his formation, go outside and smoke a cigarette before his 0630 formation; you were not here when he returned at 0635. You were here in the room. He talked to you briefly. You said you’d been out all night. He comes back about 0900; you’re doing laundry. Okay. I’m looking at this from a logical standpoint. If I had been out all night, I know I’ve got to get up at

000803

0900, thereabouts, to fall-in for formation, do PT at 0930, do PT until 1100, and then I know I’m going to have a little bit of hygiene time and then I know I have to report at 1230 or 1330, depending on what time my formation is to report in to go to work, and I’ve only had 2 hours of sleep. I’m not going to--or I only had 2 hours to sleep, 2 and a half hours sleep, I’m not going to be doing laundry. I’m going to be--I’m going to be in my rack going to sleep. Okay.

I talked to PFC Aulden. You were tired all day. You were falling asleep while you were working, because you’d been up all night. Okay. No alibi. We know you called your wife on Saturday. We know you went and got the gun less than two weeks ago; a week and a half ago, to be more specific. We know you asked PFC Aulden what kind of ammunition would be good to go shoot dogs, and he said, I would recommend ball—ball ammo, or if I really wanted to do the affect, I’d get hydroshocks or something like that. You indicated to PFC Aulden you had some ammunition in your vehicle -- 9mm. The bullets recovered at the scene, preliminary examination, reveals that they probably are 9mm. They are being sent to our lab to confirm that. We will know that.

We have witnesses that say they saw somebody in the area last night. We know approximately what time. Everything right now, is pointing to you. Okay. So, I need to find out right now what kind of person you are. You know, is this something that you’ve been planning ever since your wife left? I don’t think so. You did--how long were you in Afghanistan?

SMITH: About 12 and a half months. [??]: 12 and a half months. High stress, right? SMITH: [Inaudible.]

[??]: High stress. You come back, find out your wife may or may not have been cheating on you. She leaves; she goes. She is going to take the kids away from you. Your whole world, as you know it before you deployed to Afghanistan, has been turned upside down. Right? But that’s got to weigh heavy on a person. There’s got to be a lot going on in your mind.

Sergeant Devane even said, “Something’s not right. You know, he’s under a lot of stress. I’m here to try to help him.” He takes your weapon from you to make sure that you don’t do something. Okay. A couple of days later, he thinks you are better. You know, things have

000804

calmed down a little bit. He allows you to have your weapon back. But, you know, the divorce is getting ready to go final. It will be final sometime this week, correct?

SMITH: That’s the last I heard. [??}: That’s what you heard? SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

[??]: You know, if I fought that hard with my—with my soon-to-be ex-wife and took the gun that I wanted and I took so much trouble to go back to ccourt and get a court order to get the gun back, and I finally get that gun back, I’m not going to turn around and give it right back to her. You don’t fight that hard and then just turn around and give it up. Do you see what I’m saying? There’s a lot of inconsistencies.

The timeframe in which you have no alibi is consistent with the timeframe it would take to drive the 147 miles from here to the house in Rineyville and back. I think you did go there. I think you did shoot them. I don’t think it was premeditated. I don’t think you’ve been planning this for months and months and months or however long you and she have been separated. I think she was gettting ready to take your kids away. I think that bothered you immensely because from what everybody I hear, says you just absolutely love your kids.

Am I right?

SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

[??]: I got to hold Regan. For some reason, she just took a liking to me.

WALKER: We----

[??]: I can tell, she’s probably a daddy’s girl. Am I right?

SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

WALKER: We had touched base about the kids. I told Sergeant Smith that the kids seen some stuff but we didn't go into detail about what they saw.

[??]: I spent almost 4 hours with Eion and Reagan today, as well as Matthew. I talked to them. I know what they told me. Okay. I know what they told me.

WALKER: And they saw some stuff, like I said before.

000805

[??]: So, like I said, right now I want to find out, you know, what kind of person you are because I think here very shortly we will be able to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you did this. Okay. You know--you know the old saying goes, those who help others, help themselves. You know, that kind of thing. I think we're at that point now. Like I said, I don't think--I don't think you went up there with the intention of--of killing her. I think that just something happened, something snapped, something happened. I don't know what yet. But I don't think this is something that you've been planning for a long time. I don't think you're a----

WALKER: Like, I said, she was messing around on you.

[??]: ----I don't think you're a murderer. Okay. In the sense of going out there and doing ruthless killing. I think you're the kind of person that feels sorry for what you did. And all of the stress that you've been going through and having to deal with this. You know what, I think it's weighing heavy on you. And you know what, in my past, from what I've been able to experience doing this for almost 14 years, if you don't get this off your chest now, it's going to build and build and build. I don't want to see that happen to you. If something happened, we need to get you some help. That's our number one priority. Number two, we need to make sure that your children fully understand, number one, what happened and that they also get the help that they need. That's my primary concern. My concerns are always for the children. They witnessed something dramatic this morning. Okay. Very dramatic. I've already got counselors lined up for them. I'm making sure, number one priority, they are taken care of.

Like I said, I think you did it. You know, so, you know, basically what I'm asking you is, you know, I can't guarantee you anything. I can't make you any promises. If I sit here and said, I'm going to promise you this, that, and the other, I'd be lying to you. I'm not going to do that. That's not the way I work. But it has been my past experience those who help themselves, you know, now's the time. You know, you talk to any prosecutor, you talk to any judge, somebody who cooperates, somebody who admits their guilt, somebody who's truly sorry for what they did, is going to get a whole lot--off a lot easier than somebody who goes in and denies it and then it ends up getting proven. You know, what I mean? You are an MP. You know that. You've seen it before.

WALKER: That's the first thing a prosecutor--he was at the scene, the prosecutor. That is the first thing he is going to ask us is, is--I mean, how he treated us, as far as, did he give us----

000806

[??]: And I mean, so far, you've been cooperative. WALKER: Did he give us a bunch of BS.

[??]: You've been very cooperative and we definitely appreciate that, and that is something that we can tell him. Like I said, I can't promise you that it's going to help. Generally, it does. As a general rule, it does. You've been very cooperative. You've allowed us to do all this other kind of stuff. Come up here, look at your room, look at your van, talk to you and everything like that. You know, that goes a long way. That shows that you are trying to cooperate.

But, number one again, you know, I need to know that you are sorry for what you did. That's what I need to know. Number two, I need to know where that weapon is, because I want to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands and a kid get a hold of it and end up doing something with it, you know? My worse fear is having a weapon lying around somewhere where somebody else can get it that does not have training and doesn't know what to do and ends

up shooting SMITH: [??]: You SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: SMITH: WALKER: [??]: Then why would you sit here and---- WALKER: ---your kids are lying?

[??]: ----tell us these lies over and over and over again?

You know--you know, the big thing--the old saying, you're digging yourself deeper and deeper and deeper, that's where you are at right now. You know, you are about right here up to the head.

their baby brother or their little sister. Do you understand what I'm saying? I gave it to Tracy. I don't know where it's at.

gave it to Tracy? Yes. I do not know what she did with it. So, so basically you're telling us that you are not involved or just---- No, I'm not---- ----or we're just---- I'm not involved at all. So your kids----

000807

WALKER: So your kids are lying to us? They are lying. They are trying to get you in trouble?

[??]: And they are going to suffer. From this day forward, because they don't understand. WALKER: So any lie---- [??]: And I'll tell you---- [??]: And maybe if we had the answers----

WALKER: ----Eion's a liar. [??]: ----I'll tell you something. WALKER: Eion's a liar then. [??]: I'll tell you something Eion told me today. WALKER: I need to go back and reinterview Eion and see why he's lying to me. [??]: I'll tell you something Eion told me today.

WALKER: Is that what you want me to do? [??]: Want me to tell you what Eion told me today? SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

[??]: He told me, "You need to take my daddy to jail." He said, "Because he shot my mommy." That's what Eion told me. I'll show you the video right now. I've got it out in my car. He watched it all the way down here, because I interviewed him. Eion told me that you shot his mommy. He's 5 years old. How do you think that's going to affect him. And then when I have to turn around and explain to him several years later, I interviewed his daddy and his daddy sit there and lied to me over and over and his daddy wasn't sorry. How do you think that's going to affect him? Because I've got to tell him the truth. I can't lie to kids. I can't do it. His daddy wasn't sorry. How do you think that's going to affect him?

SMITH: It's going to affect him the rest of his life.

[??]: It is. It is. But just like with an alcoholic, somebody who has a problem. You know, you can't help that person until they admit they have a problem. Okay. That's step number one, whether it's a drug problem, a wine problem, an alcohol problem, a stealing problem, whatever

000808

else. First of all, you've got to admit that you've done wrong. We can't help you, until you help yourself. That's the bottom line. I need to be able to go back and tell your kids, yes, this is what happened. He's sorry he did it. This is why he did it. Now that we know that----

WALKER: Just move on.

[??]: ----let's move on. Let's get you--let's get to that--those stages of the human process. Let's get some counseling. Let's get over our grief. Let's get over our anger. Let's move on to, you know, understanding why this happened and get on with it. That's what I think.

Correct me if I am wrong.

You've been through this. You've seen how it works. You know--you know this whole process. You know when something happens, you know. Have you ever had to go tell somebody that somebody died in a car accident?

SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

[??]: And at first there's what? What's the first thing? Denial, right? No, it can't be. No, it can't be. Or having to come back here and tell somebody that, you know, their loved one was killed while deployed in Iraq or Kosovo or Afghanistan or Bosnia or anywhere else that you all deploy to. You know, first is denial. Then it's anger. Why did it have to happen? Why did they do this? Why did they do that? Why did they have to deploy? Da, da, da, da, da. Why did they have to be out in the car? Why did they have to be drinking and driving? You know, da, da, da, da, da. Then once they finally get over the denial phase and then the anger phase, then they start getting into the--the--I call it the sad phase, where they are depressed all of the time. They're not knowing what's going on. What's happening? Why things are going the way they are. Why the world is being so mean to them. This, that, and the other. Once they finally get through that stage, then they start the healing stage, where they can start to accept it. Once they start to accept it, then they can get on with their lives. If they don't go through that chance--go through those stages, guess what? The chances of them leading a normal life are--are very, very slight. So, you know, luckily your kids are small right now. They can get through this. But they've got to know what happened. They've got to know. I've got to be able to get them through this stage. I've got to be able to walk them through this process. I've got to make sure that they have

000809

everything that they need so that they can get through this, because I don't want your kids to suffer. Okay? I don't want it to happen.

WALKER: And I think---- [??]: I don't want to tell them that their dad---- WALKER: Now, I think----

[??]: ----come up with a plan and went up there and said, I'm going to kill this bitch because she's taking my kids away. I want to be up there and go--go up there and say, your dad had a bad time. He had a bad experience. You know, something happened. This is what happened. He didn't mean to, it's just something just happened. Something just snapped and he lost it for a little while. He's better now. He's going to work through this. He's going to get help. We need to get you help. That's what I need to do for them.

WALKER: Yeah, I think they're sitting there and if we had a time machine right here in front of you, I guarantee you'll probably jump in it and go back 24 hours.

Am I correct? [??]: You'd change everything.

WALKER: Am I correct? SMITH: I wasn't there, so I mean, I can't change what happened. I was not there.

[??}: Well, I mean, basically what it's going to come down to is, we are going to have to prove it, and like I said, my opinion, I think we are going to prove it. And then, I hate to be you, because if I do prove it, and I believe I will, I will tell the prosecutor that, number one, you weren't sorry. We gave you ample opportunity to tell us about it and you chose not to. You know, you know, you are looking at--you know, if you did this, you are looking at two counts of premeditated murder as we stand right now. Two death penalties in Kentucky. Two death penalties, that's what you are looking at. That's maximum. That's worst case scenario. That's worst case scenario.

WALKER: So Eion is lying to us. Matthew is lying to us. Is that what you are telling us?

000810

[??]: So if we prove this, it's going to be two counts of premeditated murder. Unless we have some other reason, some other explanation as to why this happened, and only you know that. So, if you don't want----

WALKER: And you told us----

[??]: If you don't this to happen to you. If you--if you think that we can honestly prove it, and like I said, I think we can. And if I have to prove it, I guarantee you the prosecutor is going to be looking at two counts of premeditated murder.

You got off from work, drove up there, shot them, turned around and came back home. That's what the prosecutor is going to----

WALKER: And bought himself a Mountain Dew.

[??]: I guarantee you that's what the prosecutor is going to put before the jury, before the judge.

WALKER: And you got---- [??]: Unless I bring him something back.

WALKER: And he got himself a Mountain Dew. He stopped off and got him something to drink before he got to come home and go to bed.

[??]: I don't want to see you put to death. I don't want it to happen. I do not want that to happen.

WALKER: And your kids probably don't want---- [??]: I do not want your kids to have to suffer. WALKER: ----to have that neither.

[??]: Okay. I do not want them to have to suffer. I do not want them to have to realize that here in 15/20 years, when all of the appeal processes are run through the gamut, that their dad--I don't think it was premeditated. I think that something just snapped. I could be wrong, but maybe you did go up there. I don't think so. I don't believe you are that kind of person.

But like I said, you know, you can't expect me to help you out unless you help me out. You can't expect to help yourself out unless you help me out. That's just the way it is.

000811

I've got to take something back to the prosecutor. If I come back with all of the evidence that they've collected out there at the scene and I show A, B, C, and D, and then I look over here to you and there's A, B, C, and D, like I said, I will guarantee you the prosecutor is going to ask for the death sentence on two counts of premeditated murder. You help yourself, maybe he'll be more than likely to plead something else out. You'll have to spend some time in jail. Absolutely. I'm not going to lie to you and say you are going to go scot free, because that's be lying to you and I ain't going to do it.

Like I said, I don't want to have to, in 20 years,---- WALKER: Two lives are gone, we don't need three.

[??]: I don't want to come back in 20 years and have to go up there with your kids and explain to them, you know, your dad's dying today. I don't want to have to put them through that.

Do you want me to have to put them through that? SMITH: [Inaudible or nonverbal response.]

[??]: I think they'd be a whole lot better off with a daddy's who's in jail then a daddy that is going to die in jail.

One thing I've learned about family, no matter what happens, they'll be mad at you for awhile. They'll be mad while they are growing up. But eventually they'll get over it, they'll still love you. They'll still love you. They'll still want to be a part of your life. But you are not going to do them any good if something happens to you. Inconsistency --- RECORDING STOPPED

On July 2, 2007 there was a purchase made at Grandpa's gun store located in Clarksville Tennessee ($104.15). This is the location that I along with Det. Johnson had visited regarding a sales receipt that was recovered related to an ammunition purchase at this location. See Det. Johnson's supplement regarding this visit.

On August 24, 2007 a transaction was made at Tactical Gear, Oak Grove Kentucky (26.50)

At 1242 hours {EST), 11 Sep 2007, the Kentucky State Police, Post 4, Elizabethtown, Kentucky, received a "911" call from a nine (9) year old male child. The male child advised dispatch that he was currently at a residence located at 397

Waterford Loop, Rineyville, Kentucky, 40162. The child further stated an unknown person had entered the residence sometime during the night, and killed his grandmother and

mother. Officers from the Kentucky State Police responded to the residence and upon entrance into the residence, confirmed that two adult females were deceased. The Kentucky State Police determined the identity of the two females, Karen Green and Tracy Smith Subsequent inforrnation revealed that Tracy Smith was currently going through a divorce process with her estranged husband, Brent

Smith Kentucky State Police Officers learned that Brent Smith was an active duty military member stationed at Fort Campbell. Detective Larry Walker, U/587, and I (Detective

Mark Gillingham, U/631} drove to Fort Campbell to make contact with Brent Smith for next of kin notification. Also, Detective Walker and I interviewed Brent Smith regarding any information he might have about the deceased. During the interview, Brent Smith was vague about his whereabouts the night before, which coincides with the time frame for the conunission of the crime. Brent Smith denied any involvement in the crime. Brent Smith also provided us w~th inconsistent statements, and changed his statements on numerous occasions. Brent Smith granted us consent to search of his vehicle, and a search was conducted (several items were taken). On 12 September 2007 an autopsy was conducted on the two female victims, and it was determined that they both died as a result of gunshot wounds, not

f consist.ent by self-inflicted means. On 13 September 2007, a
