" The statment by the deputy DA is second hand and refers to the point in time when detectives arrived which was 3 hours later."

Second hand from whom? The article I'm reading shows it as a direct quote. Where does it say that he is referring to the detectives who arrived 3 hours later? In the quote I provided, he simply refers to "the police." If you have a different source than the Deseret News article on 09/07/02, please post a link......I'd like to read it.

You don't want to take the statement of Sue Ann Adams, as quoted, as persuasive? Then why take the statement of D.A. Morgan as quoted?

I, for one, wouldn't trust any statement by him any more than I would a statement by Sue Ann Adams. One thing to consider: the veracity of Sue Ann Adams in an affidavit was considered good enough to launch a burglary felony charge against Richard Ricci. Sounds to me like she isn't some sort of known liar.
