Today the trial of Jeremiah Bean continued, revealing incriminating evidence most notably audio recordings between Bean and a detective.Â
During the interview, Bean gives a step by step account of the weekend that left five people dead. Investigators say Bean's first victims were Bob and Dotty Pape, in their Fernley home. The recording between Detective Arick Dickson and Jeremiah Bean in the days following the crimes goes like this:Â
DICKSON: "You go in and there's a lady sleeping on the bed?"
BEAN: "Uh huh."
DICKSON: "And you shoot her in the back of the head with the .22?"
BEAN: "Uh huh."
DICKSON: Okay, and then the man comes inside the room. You shoot him with the .22?"
BEAN: "Uh huh."
On the recording, Bean tells the investigator that he returned to the Pape's home during the next few days, moving their bodies to the closet and covering them with clothes. Deputy Sean Gallagher uncovered the bodies. He recounted the event saying, "The first pile, I found a male suspect lying face-up. Didn't have any respiratory functions. There was some decay or mummification of the hands."
On the tape, Bean says that all five murders were random, including Eliazar Graham who prosecutors say stopped to help Bean near I-80 and Mustang. Bean detailed how he shot Graham and accidentally ran over him.Â
DICKSON: "So when you shot him, the car continued to move and he fell out of the car?"Â
BEAN: "He fell out of the car and I tried to stop the car and I accidentally ran over him."
Finally he tells how he shot Angie Duff and Lester Leiber, stabbing Duff with a kitchen knife afterward.Â
BEAN: "She was in a lot of pain or whatever. So I took the knife from her and I just leaked her out a couple times."
