Schroedel’s statements to police

By DAVID HULSE

MONTICELLO — What did Anthony Schroedel say to police and how did he say it?

Sometime in late April, Schroedel, charged with the murder of Barbara Vogt, is expected to go on trial for his life.

Schroedel made two statements, one written, one oral, to Sheriff’s Department investigators on the day of his arrest on June 21, 1999. The River Reporter, as could anyone else, has obtained copies of these statements from the Clerk of the Sullivan County Court.

The first of the statements is hand written. TRR has reproduced it in its original form here as a 1.27 MB Adobe PDF file (get Adobe Acrobat Reader for free from www.adobe.com). The second is taken from a transcript of an oral interview with Schroedel later on the morning of his arrest. That statement begins here, and is published in its entirety, unedited except for insertion of missing end-sentence punctuation.
