directly to the house and into the garage. We had dug
the grave the day before and we put him in the grave. I t
put tha whole sack of limes on top of him andwe filled — )
the grave. The next day we bought and planted chrysanthemums
thera. The day the boy was killed, after burying him I .
drove to Kansas City and mailed the first letter. I drove |
back to St. Joseph. I realized then I had put the wrong
address on the envelope and majled a second letter. I
believe this was the following day. I wanted to see the
ad in the paper and the next night went down to Kansas Oity
and put the notes under a mail box at 23th and Holmes,
and at 2nd & Charlotte. On purpose we didn't make the
rickup and went back to St. Joseph. Ronnie was with me
on the trip. The next night we returned but I don't
think we put out any notes. On the next night we again
drove to Kansas City we put out two notes, 13th and Summit
and one underneath a sign "Oakview Inc." in North Kansas
City. Meantime I had been calling the Greenlease house
and giving instructions as to where to put the money. On
this occasion the directions weren't clear and I missed
the spot. I went down the lane that I thought it was to
be but couldnit find the money. J turned around to go
bask but passed them on the way. I had forgot to change
the license plate on the Ford we rented, and thought they
saw it. fe stayed in Kansas City that night in a motel.
The next day I left her in a motel and made arrangements
for the first pickup. I called the Greenlease home and
. told them to drive out and leave the money. This time the
arrangements were clear and about midnight we picked up
the money, which was in a duffle bag and TI put it in the
trunk and headed for St. Louis. After driving about one
half hour or hour out of Kansas City I got out and looked
to see if all the money was there. The duffle bag was full.
Then we drove into St. Louis. We had no definite plans
when we came to St. Louis, I recall that in the second
letter I had put the medal that was around the boy's neck
and threw the ribbon in the waste basket. Bonnie had ~
helped me fill the grave when we buried him. Bonnie was
in on ali the planning. I do not know what happened to
the rast of the money. I never did count it. There was
suppesed to be $600,000 in the bag. /
