There were things Michael Brewer remembered vividly about the day he was set on fire.

The Deerfield Beach teenager remembered the cool feeling of rubbing alcohol splashing onto him. He remembered the burning sensation, the impulse to run and jump into the swimming pool. He remembered wanting to stay in the water, and seeing the first results of the horrific attack he had just endured.

Detectives recorded their Nov. 23 interview with Brewer, 15, who survived burns over two-thirds of his body. Prosecutors on Monday released the recording, along with dozens of other documents related to the case.

Paul Michael Merhige, accused of killing four relatives on Thanksgiving Day in Palm Beach County, was tapping the keyboard of a computer in a Keys motel room late Saturday when police officers burst through the door and took him into custody, authorities said.

On Sunday morning, he was denied bond and sent to the Palm Beach County Jail to await his next court appearance. He faces four counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

His arrest late Saturday night marked the end of an intense 38-day manhunt by Palm Beach County and federal authorities who got a tip from a Keys motel owner who had been watching a preview of an upcoming story about the murders on the television show America's Most Wanted.
