Jean Monroe : [after hearing the tape] I taught those girls how to swim, to drive, everything. Those girls were my daughter's best friends.
Det. Patricia Staley : On the surface - inside Ellen was burning up with jealousy. Jenny was everthing she wasn't, and could never be.
Jean Monroe : What about Carla?
Det. Patricia Staley : Carla's the follower; she was Ellen's puppet.
Jean Monroe : Like I became Ellen's puppet? I mean, my God! To move into my, become my daughter?
Det. Patricia Staley : Mmm, sick. That was the other thing: Jenny wasn't enough, she wanted Jenny's mother.
Jean Monroe : I loved her like she was my own.
Det. Patricia Staley : She's brilliant, diabolical. She moved into your house so she could watch you suffer. And it gave her the opportunity to misdirect the investigation.
Jean Monroe : Every time I paid less attention or even when I told her she was under suspicion, she went right into her act. How could I be so stupid?
Det. Patricia Staley : Don't blame yourself, she fooled a lot of people. You're a loving, trusting person, just like Jenny.
Jean Monroe : And that's what got her killed, isn't it?
Det. Patricia Staley : No, she trusted and loved the wrong people.
