...underwent questioning by investigating judge HERVE STEPHAN in a heavily guarded second-floor room at Pitie-Salpetriere hospital. Although he recalls the final moments before leaving the Ritz and getting into the car, Rees-Jones, 29, remembers nothing about the accident itself. He did tell the judge that driver HENRI PAUL seemed to be in a perfectly normal state before taking the wheel, though blood tests showed he was legally drunk.

Sancton and his staff interviewed dozens of people, from Paul's tennis partner to bartenders to reluctant employees at the Ritz. This week, teaming up with the CNN/TIME Impact show, which airs Sunday at 9 p.m. E.T., Sancton spoke with an eyewitness who comforted injured bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones and made the first emergency call to police.
