Now, Sheldon, let me go over to you. On July 6, the next day, real briefly, what did you see at the cabin?
SHELDON SANDLER: The very next day, the cabin was closed. It was the third day that we saw somebody with a canister, with a vacuum cleaner. The door was open, and he was in there with the vacuum cleaner, cleaning. He was sweeping the floor and everything like that.
COSBY: He was sweeping the floor when they said the room was sealed off?
SHELDON SANDLER: Yes. It was not sealed off.
COSBY: What did you see the following day?
SHELDON SANDLER: The following day, we saw somebody in there, like, dusting or cleaning with cleaning products maybe and, like, wiping down the TV and the—and the bed or whatever, the dresser, the dresser (INAUDIBLE)
PEGGY SANDLER: I saw them down on their hand and knees, and they were cleaning. And the door was open, and there were a few people in there cleaning.
COSBY: Did it look like cleaning folks from the cruise ship, or could it have been investigators?
SHELDON SANDLER: No, it was...
PEGGY SANDLER: No.
SHELDON SANDLER: ... cleaning people.
PEGGY SANDLER: From the cruise ship.
COSBY: You‘re sure of that?
SHELDON SANDLER: Yes.
COSBY: And you say that they were actually vacuuming and actually washing the floor off?
SHELDON SANDLER: The third day, they had a canister that was out in the hallway, and I could see them pulling it in and out. Yes, he was definitely sweeping. I could hear it going.
COSBY: What is your reaction when you hear that they say that they were preserving the crime scene for six days and sealing it off?
SHELDON SANDLER: It was never sealed off.
PEGGY SANDLER: No.
SHELDON SANDLER: Like I say, the second day, the door was closed, but I did see somebody go in there from the cruise ship. Who it was, I don‘t know. But no, it was never sealed off. It never had yellow tape on it. It never had “Do not enter” signs, nothing like that.
COSBY: And again, both of you are sure? And how are you sure that these were cruise folks versus investigators on their knees?
SHELDON SANDLER: Well, they have on the Royal Caribbean shirts. Or you could just see they were people that worked on the ship.
COSBY: And again, vacuuming and cleaning the floor?
SHELDON SANDLER: Yes.
