Gift also found a long twenty-nine page interim report written by Don Frye, the existence of which which Frye had denied.

She also came across an audiotape, which she copied.  The tape was remarkable.  It recorded an interview between Jack Bachman, Eagan's investigator, and a young man named Jon Jellison.

On Christmas Eve the Jellison family—Jon, his parents, and his teenage sister, from Minnesota—had been registered in the back wing of the Winter Garden Inn.  Their room overlooked the rear compound of the furniture store.  In April, Eagan sent letters to motel guests, asking whether they could substantiate some of the specifics of the statements of Edward Williams and Felton Thomas.

Apparently, only the Jellisons had any information.  And it was not what the prosecution hoped.  This is a partial transcript of the tape that Leslie Gift found, and that apparently was never turned over during discovery:

Q (BACHMAN):  What is your name—Jon?

A (JELLISON):  Jon, right.  Really, we didn't observe very much or we can't really add much more than, you know, what you've got there already.  We ate supper—my mom told Mr. Eagan all about this—ate supper at the motel, came back to our room at, I suppose, between 8:15 and 8:30, and we sat around awhile looking at postcards and I, uh, I was going to go over to the office there at the motel and mail them back home there—

Q:  Right.

A: —so I went to the door, I cracked the door and I was just going to walk out and there was a policeman out in the parking lot aiming his pistol over the hood of his police car at the back of the building—

Q:  Right.

A: —at the furniture store.  That was the first time that we had know, you know, anything funny was going on at all.  And then, so rather than go to the post office at the office there we just stayed inside our room there and looked out through the window and through the door.

Q:  Were you on the back side of the motel?

A:  Right. Let's see.  We just stood there and watched for quite some time and then we heard what we figured were probably shots, maybe 9:00 or so, it said in the letter—that would be about the right time.  We didn't notice particularly what time it was but as close as we can figure that must be about what time it was.

Q:  Now, when you heard the shots, was this after you saw the police cars?

A:  Right, right, it was.  We saw the police car and that was the first time we knew anything was going on at all.
