Digital recorder contents may enter Herring case - BurlingtonFreePress.com
A digital voice recorder seized from Jody Herring, who is accused of killing four people in Washington County last month, could contain critical information about her intended actions, according to newly released court documents. Herring, 40, of South Barre was spotted sitting in her car talking to herself minutes before she reportedly gunned down a state social worker and now investigators say they subsequently found a digital recorder in her purse on the front seat,... Hal Hayden wrote in his request for a search warrant that it is common place for people to use a digital voice recorder that he believes that “she may well have made voice recordings of her intended actions prior to the homicide. Hayden wrote he personally uses a recorder to dictate his observations as he drives past locations, persons or vehicles that are targets of an investigation. The next day at about 8 a. m. Regina Herring, 43, Rhonda Herring, 48, and Julie Ann Falzarano, 73, were found dead by a relative at a family home on Airport Road in Berlin. The Herring sisters were cousins to Jody Herring and Falzarano was an aunt. The recorder was in Herring’s car when the vehicle was impounded outside the DCF offices in Barre City Place on Aug.
