Full transcript with timestamps

She was going to announce the pregnancy on Valentine's Day. She proceeded to tell us that the father of the baby was married

and his wife was also pregnant. Did you say to her, "Why don't you tell me who it is?"

I knew that eventually she would tell me. Longtime police officer. Yeah. He said, "I'm not the father of this child." He said that he went by the house to break it all off. No one heard from her again. They were hanging their hat on the Emmys report. It was a suicide.

Could she actually do that or did somebody have a part in this? Wow. You thought that?

Yeah. It didn't add up. I couldn't find anyone that thought she was suicidal. They found a broken necklace. And I said, "Well, that sounds like a sign of a struggle."

I posted on Sandra's Facebook page, "If you know anything, here's who to call." Your internal affairs investigation revealed a bombshell about what else was going on in Sandra Burmore's life.

Yes, it did. And it's only there. This is big. You've got it out there in the public now. Why do that?

I was not going to allow them to get away with what they had gotten away with. Amazingly, it doesn't end there.

When I first saw the video, my jaw dropped. Perhaps this woman didn't kill herself at all. You have to think about Karen Reed and what we all saw on TV there.

I think the whole state just started to pay attention to both cases for the FBI to call you and say, "We'd like to talk to you." Like, now we're going to get somewhere.

I've never seen this happen before. Nearly 4 years later, the FBI comes up with a completely different conclusion.

Hopefully working towards justice for her. You know, we we tried our best and sorry it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. Thanks for watching.
