Not easy to discern certain AS' words at times. His thoughts often jump nonsensically. All corrections welcome:

Time video begins: 7:33:17PM
AS: I think.. I got to reach her and realized I wasn't going to be able to get her off without a knife. You know I tried -- I realized -- quite quickly. You know I realized this thing will happen like this. I went around the back into the house which the door was open. I got a knife with the butcher block thing -- came back out -- cut her down -- and tried called 9-1-1 shortly thereafter -- if not before.
PR: OK. Did you at any point think she was alive?
AS: I'm well.. you know. Call me a can-do person or something -- but -- probably not. But I thought, how would I answer -- for this if I didn't try something. I'm a responsible person.
PR: OK. Tried some CPR?
AS: Yeah
PR: OK. Have you been trained in that? With the boat stuff?
AS: Years and years ago. Not enough to amount to anything.
PR: OK. So, tried some CPR. Now -- and so -- was there anything else unusual? What kind of chain (unintelligible?) was it, like a bed sheet or what?
AS: It was a ******ing rope, man. Red rope. Unless my memory is failing me, you know, something -- it wasn't just something that you would be laying around, somewhere. I wouldn't think.
PR: Alright. So could you tell whether it was a material or something?
AS: Kinda like a Kevlar, synthetic
PR: OK. Like nylon...
AS: Yeah
PR: Or something like that?
PR: OK, and -- so what, there were no shoes, not a stitch on?
AS: Not that I recall
PR: So her hands were hanging down by her side then?
AS: I don't know because here's the thing. I don't remember about her hands. Because after I cut her down I went to take her pulse -- you know -- at some point, which I didn't even do at first. I remember having to get something out of the way -- of her hands -- and that's why I've been asking these detectives and stuff if she was tied up or what. I mean I'm like, I'm kind of in all a blur [cross talk]...
PR: Blur yeah.
AS: You know but -- but I remember having to move something to try to get her pulse out of the way -- you know very much [cross talk]
PR: You don't remember anything unusual?
AS: I don't remember that, but I just -- I fear -- I hope to God she wasn't tied up but -- and again -- I asked the detectives there -- you know -- I don't recall.
PR: Now as far as the CPR. You did the chest compressions and you did blow in her mouth, in her nose?
AS: I got the -- once I got 9-1-1 on the line, I went ahead and blew in her mouth.
PR: OK. And her mouth was open and clear and everything?
AS: I didn't even do all that at first. I should have. I didn't. I didn't do that tilt. I think they said tilt the head back and do that. I didn't do any of that stuff.
PR: OK
AS: I just put my mouth over hers and said **** it, it's my brother's girlfriend and I'll do it. And I did it.
PR: And there was no tape across her mouth or anything like this?
AS: No. There was a ******ing gag in her mouth though.
PR: A gag in her mouth?
AS: Yeah
PR: What was that?
AS: Something, yeah. I had to pull something out of her ****ing mouth. It was like a blue scarf.
[time stamp jumps from 7:36:54PM to 7:40:29PM]
PR: Does it seem to you like it's a suicide then at that point?
AS: YES ABSOLUTELY [AS sits forward in chair, then leans back]
PR: OK, and what makes you think that?
AS: It's just what crossed my mind you know -- just because -- I thought she was THERE, when Max got hurt,supposedly. UM UM -- you know maybe she just can't LIVE with it, you know. I've never been in that situation. I'm not going to -- I can't say that I could, especially if it was someone else's kid, you know.
PR: Did she seem suicidal or anything like that?
AS: No. I don't get -- you know, I mean -- you just don't ever think of that.
[time stamp jumps from 7:40:29PM to 8:11:49PM]
PR: Look straight ahead listen and concentrate on each question.
AS: OK
PR: Only respond yes or no
AS: OK
PR: But the most important thing of all is what?
AS: Be honest?
PR: That's it. Be honest, don't lie, be honest in your answers [unintelligible]
PR: Regarding the death of Rebecca, do you know for sure if anyone did anything to hurt her that resulted in her death?
AS: No
PR: Regarding the death of Rebecca, did you yourself do anything to her that resulted in her death?
AS: No
PR: Regarding the death of Rebecca, were you in that guest room that she was found hanging from at any time during the night?
AS: No
[time stamp jumps from 8:22:47PM to 8:40:19PM]
PR: These are hard tests to do when you're this close to what's going on here like you said...
AS: Yeah
PR: Because it's hard to get rid of that emotional factor
AS: Right
PR: Um, and you could have done a whole lot worse on the test (AS shakes head). And you could have done a whole lot better too.
AS: (makes a psshoo sound - snaps finger)
PR: Based on what I've got here -- we're kind of in the inconclusive range. But it clearly doesn't bother me that much, because I think that if you were (unintelligible) that close, there is no way I could prevent you from giving me SOME reaction. But as far as being involved in it, I am not INCLINED to believe that. Um, but you're definitely not flunking my test, so that's kinda -- somewhat of a good thing.
[Time stamp jumps from 8:41:44PM to 8:44:44PM]
PR: Appreciate your cooperation. I know it's a tough thing to do and certainly appreciate you working with us on this. Wasn't so bad, was it?
AS: It was.
PR: It wasn't as bad as you thought it was going to be though?
AS: It was.
PR: It was?
AS: Yeah.
[Time stamp ends 8:44:56PM]
-----------------------------
There were 10 questions. The video only includes 3 of them. Within the first 12 hours Rebecca's death was being investigated as a homicide. AS discovered her body, thus any investigation would consider him a POI. Why is Mr Redden so darn appreciative and accommodating to AS?! Will comment more on this under separate comment.
