Stella M. Nickell Case:
DECLARATION OF RODNEY WEBB

    I, Rodney Webb, hereby make the following declaration.  I would testify under oath to the truth of each statement included herein.

    I am currently married to Sarah Webb and have been married to her for 29 years.  I have known Sarah for 30 years.  As Sarah’s husband I have had the opportunity to know her identical twin sister Sue Snow and her sister’s husband Paul Webking.

    While residing in Denver, Colorado my wife Sarah and I heard the news that my wife’s sister Sue Snow was seriously ill, and we immediately made arrangements to fly to Seattle on June 11, 1986.  Upon our arrival in Seattle we were immediately informed that Sue Snow had passed away at or about noon, prior to our arrival.

    When we arrived Sue’s house at approximately 3:30, my wife Sarah was suffering from a headache and she went directly to the cabinet where her sister kept medications.  She pulled out a bottle of Excedrin, looked at it, appeared surprised and then, in a somewhat stern fashion, questioned Paul Webking to the effect “What are these doing here?”  Paul Webking responded with words to the effect “Oh, come on” “lighten up” and appeared to brush Sarah’s question off.

    I specifically remember that Sarah’s sister Susan never took capsules and made a point of never taking capsules because of prior tampering deaths.

    I have a specific recollection of a conversation I had with my wife, Susan Snow’s daughter Haley and with Paul Webking about Excedrin and poisoning after Sue Snow’s death.  Paul Webking said that he was contacted by someone at the FBI asking if he had any Excedrin and indicating that if he did, they wanted to come and pick it up.  He further reported that the FBI searched his house and 18-wheeler truck looking for Excedrin.  Paul Webking told us that he did have a bottle of Excedrin capsules in his truck and that luckily they didn’t find it.  He stated that he was glad they didn’t find it because he “..didn’t want them to find it and end up coming after” him.   

After the FBI searched Paul Webking’s 18-wheeler truck and left he and his brother rushed out to the truck.  Hayley and my wife Sarah wanted to go with them, but Paul made it very clear that he did not want either of them along.  When Paul Webking and his brother came back Paul went straight to the bathroom where he flushed a handful of capsules down the toilet.  He said they were the Excedrin capsules from his truck that the FBI did not find.  He further stated that he had thrown the bottle out the window of his car when he was on his way back to the house.  Then, he laughed out loud and made a remark about how stupid the FBI was for not finding the bottle of capsules in the search of his truck.  

    Looking back on this conversation, Sarah, Haley and I all find it strange that he disposed of the Excedrin this way, especially due to the fact that he did so after being requested by law enforcement to turn any he had over to them. In fact, it scared my wife Sarah and our niece Hayley, and they contacted someone with law enforcement about it but I do not remember specifically who.  We never heard back from the person we reported Paul Webking’s behavior to, or anyone else regarding this information until contacted by investigator Al Farr in early November 2000.

    I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.                                ________________________
