The president of a Detroit synagogue who was found stabbed to death outside of her home yesterday morning.

I thought that it was my neighbor, Sam Wall.

I would look at everybody and say, could you have done it?

Could you have done it?

Could you have done it?

Sam wasn't a cutthroat divorce attorney.

Sam didn't have a long list of enemies.

In my bone of bones really feel I did a hate crime.

Who knows? If this was targeted, maybe they were able to get to her, but I should be on that list too.

You had no idea who would have the motivation to kill Samuel.

Nope.

Nothing.

A Detroit police station, November, 2003.

One white officer sits across from a black man they've pulled in for an interview.

He's in his late 20s, wearing a black hoodie and a yellow vest. The officer is bald, stocky,

and has a goatee. The young man looks anxious. It's understandable. He was picked up on his way to his job at Fresh Roots, a Detroit smoothie shop.

His hands are in his lap underneath the table, and the officer is writing notes.

Well, I mean, you are in custody. No, I mean, you are in custody.

We'll see how this goes.
