نخستین 200 خط.
Here. It's water.
I was gonna make tea, but you don't have any.
Go on, honey. Take a sip.
Here they come. Here comes help.
Hi, come in. I'm Judith. I'm Marie's foster mom.
Well, her former foster mom.
She called me, and I came right over.
I'm Officer Curran.
Yes, thank you. Um... come in.
- Thank you. - She's right over here.
Marie, I'm Officer Curran.
I'm here to help you.
Can you tell me what happened?
I was raped.
Okay.
Can you tell me everything that happened? Everything you remember.
Um...
Okay, I was...
I was asleep.
Do you know what time this was?
It was late.
I didn't... I didn't go to sleep till four.
So, you were up late. Were you out?
No, I was here.
I went to bed early, but then Connor called, and we got to talk...
Conner, is that a friend or boyfriend?
- A friend. - He used to be a boyfriend.
And how long did you talk?
A couple hours.
- And you fell asleep. - Yeah.
What then?
And then he raped me.
Honey, you need to be more specific.
Let's go back to when he was standing by your bed.
Did he say anything?
He said if I screamed, he'd kill me.
Police.
I was asleep when she called.
- What's your name? - Ann.
I dunno who they're looking for.
She was really upset, so I called 911.
Then he... he took this thing out of his backpack
and blindfolded me with it.
Anything else?
Yeah, um...
...a condom.
Then what happened after he blindfolded you?
He tied my hands. No, um...
first, he tied my hands.
Using what?
Shoelaces.
Also from the backpack?
No, they were mine.
And then what happened after that?
And then?
Did he also penetrate you anally?
Was the penetration with his penis or his fingers?
Not his fingers.
So, when it was over, what happened then?
Then he... he put something on my stomach and took a picture of it.
You were still blindfolded?
Mm-hm.
How'd you know he was taking a picture of you?
Uh...
Because there were... flashes.
And he said if I told anybody, that he'd post the picture.
Did he say anything else?
He... said that it wasn't as good as how he pictured it in his head.
Can you give me a physical description of him?
Um, he had on a mask, so I can't...
Anything that you remember will help. Was he short, tall?
Tall.
Race?
- White. - Eyes?
I don't know, like...
light, like, not...
brown.
He had a gray sweater.
Excuse me.
What's going on?
Are you a resident?
I work in there.
Go ahead.
That's Marie's.
I helped her buy it. She has a set...
- Uh, don't touch that. Sorry. - Excuse me, miss.
It's okay, I'm her counselor. Are you okay? Come here.
I'm so sorry this happened.
I'm so, so, so sorry.
- Hey, Judith. - Hey, Becca.
What do we got?
Sir, I, uh, got an initial statement from the victim.
She's shaken up.
Hi, Marie, I'm Detective Parker. This is Detective Pruitt.
We're in charge of the investigation.
Um...
I know this is hard, but I need to ask you some questions about what happened.
I already told him.
Officer Curran.
That's good. Curran's a good cop.
But I'm lead detective on this, so I need to hear what happened directly from you.
Okay?
- Okay. - And my partners need to collect
some evidence for the crime lab.
Is that okay?
Okay.
Let's start at the beginning.
Uh, last night before all this happened, what were you doing?
I... I was asleep.
And before that?
I was on the phone.
Bye.
You scream, I'll kill you.
Sorry to interrupt. Uh, just to be clear,
the blindfold and the condom were from his backpack,
but the laces and the knife were yours?
Got it. How long did the assault last?
I don't know.
And what happened when it was over?
He left.
Thank you, Marie. Um...
I'll need to ask you some more questions down at the station a little later.
But right now, you need to go to the hospital.
They'll have to examine you. You'll need a change of clothes.
Uh, I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't touch that right now.
All right, just tell the investigators what to get for you.
Okay, you can turn around.
Sorry, you're almost done.
Again? I already told the cop.
Two cops.
I know, sorry.
We need it for our records.
I was asleep.
No sign of forced entry.
Gotta assume she left the door unlocked.
Probably the sliding one.
Body fluids?
Collected two small stains from the sheets.
Also found a couple of loose hairs on the floor.
Prints?
Lifted two partials off the slider.
Not enough to enter in the AFIS.
What'd the neighbors say?
We're knocking on doors. So far, nothing.
You should go.
- I don't want to leave you, honey. - No, go.
It sucks when no one's there to pick you up from school.
Well...
Okay.
I'll check back in soon.
It'll be a total of 12 swabs.
Four from the vagina,
four from the rectum, and four from the area between.
I'm also going to need to use a speculum to collect your vaginal discharge.
I have to ask if you've had consensual intercourse
in the last 72 hours.
Mm-mm.
Here we go.
Now, I'm going to apply a dye to your genital area.
It shows the difference between healthy tissue and injured tissue.
Oh, not yet. Almost done.
One more thing.
Your signature, here and here.
Thanks. These are your antibiotics in case you've been exposed to any STDs.
Four pills, you're gonna take 'em all at the same time with water.
This is your morning-after pill. Just one, also with water.
This is for you.
Now, if you experience any of the following:
excessive bleeding, vaginal discharge, shortness of breath, trouble swallowing,
hives, thoughts of killing yourself...
there's a number there I listed it on your instructions.
Hi, Marie, how you doing?
I have a headache.
I'm sorry.
I'll try to get you out of here as fast as I can.
I just want to go over the incident once more.
But I already told you everything.
I know, it's tough.
A lot of times, as a victim talks about a crime, new details come out.
Uh, sometimes important ones. I really want to find this guy.
I want to make him pay for what he did to you.
And I want to make sure he never does it to anyone else.
So...
I need all the details I can get.
So, let's start at the beginning.
All right, before the assault.
It was late. I was in bed.
I stayed up talking to Connor.
And then at, like, four, I feel asleep.
You scream, I'll kill you.
How would you describe his voice?
I don't... Uh, just normal.
No accent, no defining characteristic?
No, just a voice.
Okay.
What next?
Hang on. Did you say a hoodie or a sweater?
Uh, a hoodie.
You're sure?
I mean, yeah.
