doubt in my mind, never has been, that she's had nothing to do with this. >> I had a call from a guy telling me,
00:00:53
"Look, there's been this murder in for involves a British girl." Police say Meredith Kersher was found partially

clothed and had been left in a pool of blood with a deep cut to her throat. >> There's a lot of blood there. Blood
00:01:06
stains on the walls, blood stains on the furniture. >> Just could never think that anybody
00:01:12
would want to harm her or that anybody really with a conscience could do anything like that.
00:01:20

00:01:27
Nathan Abraham. I met Meredith Kercher at the welcome party we had at Merlin Pub. When all the new students arrive
00:01:34
into Prouia, we we have a welcome party for them. Everyone just comes here to learn the Italian language, get to know
00:01:40
the culture, and get to meet new people. >> 20-year-old Amanda Knox has apparently
00:01:46
confessed her role to Italian police. >> She's hung herself out to dry. basically
00:01:52
from the way that she's answered the police questions, from the way that she's changed her story.
00:01:58
>> She was confused, she was scared. My name is Edamelis and I'm Amanda's mother. She's a beautiful young woman
00:02:07
who is incredibly bright, incredibly kind. She's devastated by the death of her friend. She's sure that as the the
00:02:16
investigation continues, the truth will come out and she'll be proven innocent. They're so desperate to make a case
00:02:24
against this kid that they'll do anything. My name is Paul Celino. I'm a private investigator from Chicago.
00:02:32
They don't have any evidence. They got a lot of suppositions. They got a lot of crazy theories.
00:02:38
There's Amanda and there's the cops. That's it. And who's going to believe Amanda?
00:02:45
>> I want my kid out of jail. She hasn't done anything. A long way from home. Tonight's 48 hours
00:02:59
