Many of the secret wiretap recordings are scratchy and hard to hear so far, probably because of the way they were recorded. But in one of the easier ones to make out, Dale Hausner can be heard putting his young daughter to bed.
“Don’t kill anybody, OK?” Hausner is heard saying on the recording, time stamped at 8:34 p.m. “Don’t kill anybody…Say, ‘Bye, Sam. Be careful.’” The young girl, who sounds too young to understand or respond, mumbled something back. Then the recording stopped.
