Stella M. Nickell Case:
DECLARATION OF SARAH WEBB

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

I am Sue Kathryn Snow’s sister, and knew her all of her life. I also knew her husband, Paul Webking.

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

We then arrived at my sister’s house at about 3:30 in the afternoon. By the time we arrived I was suffering from a headache and I went to get some medicine for it. When I got to the kitchen cupboard where I knew my sister kept her medicines and vitamins, I reached for a bottle of Excedrin. I noticed that the bottle had capsules in it. I know for certain that my sister Sue never took capsules. I know from speaking with her on numerous occasions about the subject that she was very concerned about product tampering issues, and that because of this she did not use capsules. I grabbed the bottle and went up to Sue’s husband Paul Webking and asked in an adamant tone what they were doing in there. He then, somewhat laughingly, and in what I thought was a most inappropriate manner responded with words to the effect “Oh come on” and “lighten up” and appeared to brush off my obvious tampering concern.

Shortly after this conversation I went into Sue’s bedroom and found my sister’s purse. I looked into it and found a bottle of Excedrin tablets. This gave me more reason to question why capsules were in the kitchen with the medicines.

Later, my husband and I and Sue’s daughter Hayley had a conversation with Paul Webking about Excedrin and poisoning. 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 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 during their search. He stated words to the effect that he was glad they didn’t find it because he didn’t want “…them (the FBI) to find the bottle and come after him”. After the FBI searched Paul Webking’s 18-wheeler truck and left he and his brother rushed out to the truck to see if the bottle was still there. Hayley and I wanted to go with them, but Paul made it very clear that he did not want either of us along. When Paul Webking and his brother came back to Sue’s house 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. He then laughed and said something about “…..how stupid the FBI guys were” for not finding the bottle.

Looking back on this conversation, my husband, Hayley 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 Hayley and me enough to contact the authorities. We do not remember, but we contacted someone in law enforcement and related to this person the information about Paul Webking disposing of the Excedrin. 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 November 2000.

Being identical twins, my sister and I talked a lot on the phone; sometimes every day, and almost always several times a week. We were very close, and had always shared our innermost thoughts and feelings with each other. Shortly after my sister Sue married Paul Webking sometime before her death she told me she had removed her daughters Hayley and Cindy as beneficiaries from her life insurance policy and put her new husband Paul Webking on as the sole beneficiary. To the best of my recollection her life insurance policy had a payoff value of about $120,000.00.

I specifically remember Paul and Sue were not yet married and living together when the house they ended up living in was built. My sister, as a senior official with the Puget Sound Bank, bought the property and financed the building of the house by herself because she said Paul Webking’s credit was so bad. Also, I remember well the $54,000.00 Paul personally collected as his share from the proceeds of a settlement against the Excedrin manufacturer.

The FBI told us Paul Webking passed the lie detector test, and also told us that was why they “knew he didn’t do it”, and that he was no longer a suspect.

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