0N 052693, I MET WITH WILLIAM WINFORD JONES AND HIS MOTHER DEQUITA LOUISE DUNHAM AT THE CRITENDEN COUNTY DRUG TASK FORCE OFFICES. I OBTAINED A SUBJECT DISCRIPTION FOR MR JONES AND INTERVIEWED HIM CONCERNING A CONVERSATION HE HAD WITH DAMIEN ECHOLS ON FRIDAY NIGHT OR EARLY SATURDAY MORNING 5-22-93. WILLIAM STATED THAT HE WAS A CLOSE FRIEND OF DAMIEN AND THAT HE, DAMIEM, AND DOMINI WERE IN THE PARK IN LAKESHORE TRAILER PARK. HE STATED THAT DAMIEN WAS DRUNK AND TALKING ABOUT THE HOMICIDE. HE STATED THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA KNEW THAT HE USED TO BE A FRIEND OF DAMIEN’S AND THAT THEY WANTED HIM TO ASK ABOUT THE HOMICIDE. THIS WAS THE REASON FOR HIM ASKING THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOMICIDE.
DAMIEN STATED TO WILLIAM THAT HE KILLED THE BOYS AND THAT HE HAD SEX WITH THEM IN THE BUTT. HE FURTHER STATED THAT DAMIEN HAD TOLD HIM THAT HE USED A KNIFE AND DESCRIBED THE KNIFE USED AS BEING ABOUT 8 TO 10 INCHES LONG WITH A HAND GESTURE.
I TAPED THE CONVERSATION WITH WILLIAM AT THIS POINT WITH HIS MOTHER’S PERMISSION AND WILL HAVE THE TAPE TRANSCRIBED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WILLIAM’S MOTHER WILL MEET WITH ME AS SOON AS THE TAPED STATEMENT IS COMPLETE TO ALLOW WILLIAM TO SIGN THE STATEMENT.
