Concerning
DCI agents interviewing Tracy's co-workers:
"She
said Kim Skorlinski told her that her co-workers trashed her, said they
thought she was capable of murder and probably killed Sandy. In fact,
none
of her co-workers had anything bad to say about Tracy."
Concerning
the Threshold Assessment conducted by Forensic Scientist/Criminal
Profiler,
Brent Turvey:
"Tracy
seemed especially outraged that the bloody fingerprint on the basement
shower door had been identified as Jody Pawlak's, yet that information
had not been known. I read her Kim Skorlinski's report regarding the
identification
of Jody's fingerprint, pointing out the date, June 3, 1998. Tracy
acknowledged
that arrangements were then being worked out for "surveillance" taping.
We discussed the electrical cord ligature hanging in the basement.
Tracy
said that she didn't know about it until she read the threshold
assessment."

Concerning
Gerald Boyle using Randy Winkler as the defense's arson expert:
"Tracy
couldn't believe that Boyle used Randy Winkler as the arson expert for
the defense. Tracy said that she had believed that if Sandy's death
were
homicide, then Randy Winkler was a prime suspect because of his hatred
for John."
Concerning
the "confession" in Las Vegas:
"Tracy
then came back to the threshold assessment. She asked me if I had seen
the Las Vegas tapes and I told her I have viewed all of them. She asked
me why John would have said that he went to Sandy's house [the
"confession"]
as he did. I noted that in his marriage to Sandy, John had taken the
line
of, least resistance when Sandy or Lola kept harping on an issue-he
would
tell them whatever they wanted to hear in order to get them to shut up.
As illustration, I told her about the incident on Aaron's birthday in
1997
at Happy Joe's Pizza Parlor, when Sandy, Lola and Lola's mother
insisted
that John's niece's husband had asked John, "Where's your girlfriend."
When they refused to drop the issue and focused on Matt, John told Matt
to just agree with them, that was the only way to get them to
stop."
Tracy
expressing her feelings about the investigation:
"Tracy
said that when she testified, she believed that everything she said was
true. She now realizes she was "brain washed" into believing that John
murdered Sandy, and manipulated into setting him up. Tracy and I
discussed
the fact that the investigators and prosecutors made it clear to her
that
she would be charged with Sandy's murder if they couldn't get John.
Tracy
said that after reading the threshold assessment, she no longer
believes
that they can follow through on that threat."
Tracy's
message for John Maloney:
"Tracy
asked if I could get a message to John on her behalf, because she was
leery
of calling his lawyer out of the blue. I said I would do so. Her
message
was to ask John what he has to say to her. Tracy said she would call me
in two weeks to learn John's answer. We then terminated the call."
Tracy
Hellenbrand never made that two week follow-up call.
