The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/pY4gzX ) the pages include interview results. The DeKalb County state's attorney's office turned over the documents during a Wednesday court hearing.

Seventy-one-year-old Jack Daniel McCullough has been charged in the death of Maria Ridulph (RIHD'-uhlf), his former neighbor in the small community of Sycamore.

McCullough denies wrongdoing and is jailed on $3 million bond.
