SO FAR,

MALCOLM ANDERSON,

A JOURNALIST WITH

THE MIAMI JOURNAL,

IS THE ONLY PERSON

TO HAVE BEEN CONTACTED

BY THE KILLER:

OF SARAH HOOKS,

THE GIRL FOUND MURDERED

ON BILL BAGGS BEACH.

ANDERSON HAS BEEN CONTACTED

TWICE BY THE KILLER.

EACH OF THE TWO CONVERSATIONS

WERE BRIEF,

LASTING A MINUTE OR TWO.

IT IS KNOWN FOR SURE, HOWEVER,

THAT HE HAS ESTABLISHED

A DEFINITE CONTAC WITH ANDERSON

FOR REASONS THAT NO ONE

HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE.

MALCOLM ANDERSON SEEMED

SOMEWHAT RETICEN

TO TALK TO REPORTERS,

APPARENTLY CONFUSED

BY THE MEDIA ATTENTION

THAT HAS BEEN THRUST UPON HIM.

ACCORDING TO MR. ANDERSON'S

STORY IN THE MIAMI JOURNAL,

NEITHER HE NOR THE PUBLIC

HAS HEARD THE LAS OF THIS INDIVIDUAL.

ALTHOUGH NEWS CENTER 7

TRIED TO GET HIM

TO ELABORATE...

WHAT WOULD:

YOU GUYS SAY?

REFUSED TO SAY:

ANYTHING MORE.

I'M JILL BEACH,

NEWS CENTER 7.

OH, I'M SORRY, HONEY.

WERE YOU AWAKE?

WE JUST...WE STOPPED BY

FOR A BEER.

HMM.

I'M SORRY, HONEY.

SAW YOU ON:

THE TELEVISION.

DID YOU?

.

MM-HMM

MMM? WHAT DID

YOU THINK?

I LOOKED LIKE:

A JERK, DIDN'T I?

I JUST LOOKED:

LIKE SUCH A FRUMP!

WAIT--LET'S TALK

ABOUT OBNOXIOUS.

THOSE GUYS:

DON'T GIVE YOU

A CHANCE TO THINK.

I MEAN, THESE ARE

MY FRIENDS!

WHEN YOU'RE

ON 60 MINUTES,

YOU MIND:

GIVING ME A CALL?

I'D LIKE TO BRING

THE MACHINE HOME

AND TAPE IT.

YOU THINK I OUGH TO DO THAT SHOW?

YEAH, WHY NOT?

GIVE THEM A BREAK.

CALL MORLEY:

IN THE MORNING.

I MEAN, CALL MORNING

IN THE MORLEY.

HA HA HA!

COME ON!

HA HA HA!

[Kiss]

HONEY, WILL YOU TURN

OFF THE TELEVISION?

I HATED:

THE WAY I LOOKED.

HOW COULD I LOVE

A SMALL-TOWN

NEWSPAPERMAN?

HA HA HA!

[Telephone rings]

CHRISTINE, HONEY,

I CAN'T KEEP

THIS LINE TIED UP.

[Man]

WHO'S CHRISTINE?

YOUR WIFE:

OR YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

TESTED YOUR FAITH,

DIDN'T I?

YOU WERE:

BEGINNING TO WORRY

I WOULDN' CALL YOU AGAIN.

WAS THAT THE IDEA?

IT WOULD BE NICE

IF YOU WANTED:

TO TALK TO ME,

BUT STILL,

YOUR WORDS ARE:

THE IMPORTANT THING,

AND I DO LIKE THEM.

THANK YOU.

EVER TRY:

TO DESCRIBE A SMELL?

WHY?

A SWEETNESS TO IT,

AND AT:

THE SAME TIME,

IT REACHES:
