Wendy Baldwin [STAMPED: EXHIBIT 89, 05 CF 381, DATE: 02-14-07 Initials JB] On 02/27/06 at approximately 1956 hours, I (Inv. BALDWIN of the CALUMET COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT), along with Special Agent MATT JOY of DCI, made contact with BRYAN J. DASSEY at [street number redacted by me - FJW] Granger Rd. in the City of Manitowoc. I spoke with BRYAN about his relationship with his brother, BRENDAN. BRYAN said he is not very close to BRENDAN or his mother and does not talk much to his other two brothers. He said he usually just comes home, gets clothes and leaves again to go by his girlfriend's house. I informed BRYAN of the information that BRENDAN had said about the night of 10/31/05. I gave BRYAN details on what BRENDAN had seen in the fire and the comments that STEVEN had made to him that night. I asked BRYAN if he could again explain his activities on 10/31/05. BRYAN said the night before he had slept by his girlfriend's house and went from there to work. BRYAN said he was home by 5:00 and that BOBBY, BLAINE and BRENDAN were home at the time. He doesn't remember exactly what they were doing but may have been playing video games. BRYAN said he took a shower and got ready to go by his girlfriend's house. He said he overheard BRENDAN talking with STEVEN about needing some help doing something. Between 6:30 and 7:00, BRYAN said he left to go by his girlfriend's house. Prior to leaving BRYAN did notice that there was smoke coming from behind STEVEN's garage but didn't think much of it. I asked BRYAN how many times STEVEN has burned in that pit and he said about once to twice a month. BRYAN said the reason why he did not think anything of it was because JOSHUA RADANDT, the owner of the gravel pit, was clearing brush and STEVE had offered to burn that for him. BRYAN went on to say that the entire evening he had spent with his girlfriend and he then went to work the next day and did not return home. BRYAN described STEVEN as always having a bad temper and it seemed to him that he was getting more angry about the business and activities in the yard. BRYAN said STEVEN ha... him, "He could kill someone and get away with it." BRYAN said STEVEN also made comments about stealing from people and nobody would know that he did. [page 2] Complaint No. 05-0157-955 Page 516 File Number I asked BRYAN who he had thought STEVEN was closest with in the family and he had said probably us because we would take care of him. STEVEN, however, did not like EARL, and threatened to "kick his ass" because of the turmoil with the business in the yard. I asked BRYAN if he could remember anything strange that had stuck out in his mind during that time or after Halloween. He said the incident when BOBBY had hung the deer in his mom's garage. BRYAN said he did not hear it directly from STEVEN, however, BOBBY had told him a couple of months ago when BOBBY and his friend, MICHAEL OSMUNSON, were hanging the deer, STEVEN made the comment that he needed help getting rid of a body. BRYAN also said the weekend they went up north STEVEN was acting quite strange. This would have been the weekend of November 4, 2005. They had planned three or four days in advance to go up north that weekend. BRYAN said STEVEN was acting very odd and that he was looking down a lot, that he may have done something and he said he did not feel good and had a headache. BRYAN said STEVEN never was one to lie down and complain he did not feel good; even with a headache, he would go out and work. BRYAN said it seemed like once they got up north he fell apart and he was not acting himself. BRYAN said when they were in the back wooded area building the cabin, EARL had his flatbed truck in that area with the scanner. CHARLES had overheard that Marinette County was coming to their property and STEVEN panicked and jumped in his truck and BRYAN said he "hauled ass" to the cabin with CHARLES. BRYAN said when they got back, STEVEN seemed very panicked and that he was going to take off. BRYAN said his grandfather told him if he didn't do anything, that you should not run. BRYAN said, however, STEVEN looked panicked and had wanted to run away. BRYAN said he could not recall any activity after that because he had stayed by his girlfriend's house during the time the police were doing the Search Warrants. I provided BRYAN with my business card and advised him in case he happened to remember anything, to contact me. The interview was concluded approximately 2037 hours. Inv. Wendy Baldwin Calumet Co.
