A Killer Among Friends1992

Jean Monroe:
[after hearing the tape] I taught those girls how to swim, to drive, everything. Those girls were my daughter's best friends.

Det. Patricia Staley:
On the surface - inside Ellen was burning up with jealousy. Jenny was everthing she wasn't, and could never be.

Jean Monroe:
What about Carla?

Det. Patricia Staley:
Carla's the follower; she was Ellen's puppet.

Jean Monroe:
Like I became Ellen's puppet? I mean, my God! To move into my, become my daughter?

Det. Patricia Staley:
Mmm, sick. That was the other thing: Jenny wasn't enough, she wanted Jenny's mother.

Jean Monroe:
I loved her like she was my own.

Det. Patricia Staley:
She's brilliant, diabolical. She moved into your house so she could watch you suffer. And it gave her the opportunity to misdirect the investigation.

Jean Monroe:
Every time I paid less attention or even when I told her she was under suspicion, she went right into her act. How could I be so stupid?

Det. Patricia Staley:
Don't blame yourself, she fooled a lot of people. You're a loving, trusting person, just like Jenny.

Jean Monroe:
And that's what got her killed, isn't it?

Det. Patricia Staley:
No, she trusted and loved the wrong people.
