Maybe once or twice in the past.

No.
Why did you have a blue pen in your room?
I didn't know that I did.
Why did you have the marker and what did you use it for?
I don't recall ever having a blue marker.
Was it used for anything besides writing?
Again, I don't think I had one.
Where did you get it?
What?
The blue marker. Did anyone ever take yours?
No.
So how long did you have the blue marker?
What don't you understand? I didn't have a blue marker.
Do you know what was written on the paper from her room?
No, what?
Did someone else use the pen?
I guess that must be obvious, since I didn't use it.
When was the last time you were in Rachelle's room?
I don't think I went to her room. Maybe once when we first got on board.
Did you ever ask Rachelle for money?
No, not for myself. I did encourage her to support the less fortunate.
You never asked her for anything?
No, why would I? I live a simple life.
What did you want Rachelle to do with her money?
Well, I did encourage her to be generous with the poor and less fortunate. She didn't do that after winning the lottery.
Were you jealous of her lottery winnings?
No, I knew that she wasn't lucky to have won.
Did you want any part of the lottery winnings?
No, not for myself, but I'm certain her donation to the church will save many lives.

I thought he loved her for her money, like many of her friends and family.
Did you know if she gave you money in her will?
I've since found out that she intended to make a large donation to the church, if that's what you mean.
Why do you think she gave you the most money?
I think she knew I was doing God's work and wanted to support that.
What were you doing when she died?
I assume I was asleep in my room because I didn't see her after dinner.

Of course not. I'm a man of the cloth. I would never kill.
Who do you think killed Rachelle?
I have no idea.
Why did you have a fingerprint on an ink cartridge in Rachelle's room?
Oh that? I found that ink cartridge on the floor in the ship hallway and I picked it up. When I walked by her room, her door was ajar so I tossed it in the garbage in her room.
Why was one of your prints on her bedframe?
That can't be accurate. I never went by her bed.
Do you own a white handkerchief?
No, I don't.

Why would you have access to Rachelle's diary?
I didn't have access to her diary. What makes you say I did? Well, I mean, years ago maybe, but not on this trip.
