00:00:00
If we could track down that rope, if we could figure out where it came from, if it is in fact unique enough, then we
00:00:08
should know when we have our guy because our guy may be in the possession of additional rope that is is somewhat hard
00:00:17
to find. Correct. So, that was the missing part. If they could find that rope, they could find the killer. That
00:00:23
was the theory. >> So, they're going all over town and all over the state and I believe they they
00:00:29
went nationwide looking for similar rope. Where Where was it manufactured from? Where was it purchased from? How
00:00:37
did our killer get get to be in possession of this rope? It's still partly a mystery of where he
00:00:44
got it, but uh and this is so ironic. I was back in Nebraska last week doing a college tour talking to journalism
00:00:52
students and criminal justice students about this. And as it turns out, one of the professors of criminal justice was
00:00:58
actually a prison guard assigned to uh Joubert on on death row. And they figured out that it was a Navy man's
00:01:07
rope and that the rope uh the reason it had those color fibers, it needed to be lightweight so the service members could
00:01:15
carry it, but it needed to be really strong if they ever had to use it. So, he was able to give me that piece of
00:01:22
evidence that it was a Navy man's rope. And those brightly colored fibers were to make the rope stronger.
