time i saw her, i knew she was going to be famous and i would see her on tv. and in fact, a few days after the murder, pamela smart was on tv, being interviewed by reporter bill spencer. she was wearing a beautiful, vibrant blue dress, hair was all made up, makeup perfect. she looked gorgeous. police watched pamela on television with unease. we had limited the information that was going to pamela smart, because she had the propensity to talk to the media. she enjoyed talking to the media. while reporters worked the story, police continued working the case. and then came a break. it happened at a high school where pamela worked. kids there were spreading a wild story. if they hadn t told people, i m not sure how this would have turned out, because i don t think the police had that much. some teenage boys at the school were telling people they
killed gregg smart and used one of their father s guns to do it. a neighborhood kid heard them talking. he repeated the story to the father, who located his gun, and then made a tough decision. ended up bringing it to the derry police department, saying, this may have been involved in a murder. turned out it was the gun that that killed gregg. shortly after that, three local high schoolers were arrested for murder. bill spencer made a beeline for pamela smart s home. she looks frantic and incredibly emotional. and i m like, but this is great news. i mean, they just made arrests. i mean, the case is wrapping up and she s like, no, i can t talk, bill. i m just too upset. i m too devastated. it was the first time he d seen her like that. it didn t make sense. but turns out pamela smart knew the kids under arrest.
