The followina is a report outlining my canversation
with about their knowledge of Jeff Simpeon
and the client Ed Murray. 

Both individuals were present during this interview,
and I will attempt to isolate segments, so I did it by individual
wherever that seems necessary.

The information that I basically got from the
Stockwells was the following:

tendency to expand the truth, and I was given a number of
Comparison stories throughout their parenting experiences with
Jeff. specifically stated that Jeff had a great
deal 0. ty ccifering truth from reality. She stated,'
that this pattern proved to be true over the years with Jeff.
she stated that she believes that Jeff's life has been a series
of downhill problems.

qcontact wit Jerr' an he was approximately 12 years old.>> He'
apparently was staying at a group home nearby their house." she
stated that it became apparent to her after a few conversations
and visits with Jeff that he did not have a family. or any
particular group of penple that he belonged ta aside from those in
the residential care home he was living at the time. She stated
that it seemed that there was an interesting phenomena af thought
among his own peer group at how he interacted with them as well
as others. -

taking Jer ne wee end a month, particularly around the
holidays. She stated that Jeff was always filled with a lot of,

stories that really did not come together and make any sense.
