sir.
    DETECTIVE: And Bird is Ms. Shondeana Brown, living at 173-A Harper Drive?
    ND: That’s correct.
    DETECTIVE: Also, to the officers yesterday, you described the vehicle belonging to Denarius Pavon as a “black pickup truck, with black-tinted windows,” is that correct?
    ND: Yes, sir.
    DETECTIVE: And what kind of car do you drive, Miss Dougherty?
    ND: [Inaudible on tape]
    DETECTIVE: Miss Dougherty, I need you to speak up, please.
    ND: I don’t . . . have one.
    DETECTIVE: You live close enough to walk to work?
    ND: The bus, sir.
    DETECTIVE: I see. Thank you, Miss Dougherty. Now, after spending the night at Ms. Brown’s home—do you do that often, Miss Dougherty?
    ND: She’s my best friend.
    DETECTIVE: So would you say, you spend the night at her house more than . . . once a week?
    ND: Yes.
    DETECTIVE: More than . . . four times?
    ND: It depends. Sometimes.
    DETECTIVE: You work with Ms. Brown out of her home, don’t you?
    ND: Sometimes, sir. I help with hair, if her customers need it.
    DETECTIVE: So would you say you spend a lot of time there?
    ND: Yes, sir.
    DETECTIVE: More than at home?
    ND: You could say so, yes.
    DETECTIVE: And does Denarius Pavon spend time there with you as well?
    ND: Sometimes. Not always.
    DETECTIVE: More times than not?
    ND: I wouldn’t say that.
    DETECTIVE: But on the evening of August twenty-third, he was there with you?
    ND: Yes, sir.
    DETECTIVE: And also, according to your last interview, he was there with you all day on Saturday, August twenty-fourth?
    ND: He went to the gym.
    DETECTIVE: Is that a habit with him?
    ND: He works out a lot, yeah.
    DETECTIVE: Every Saturday?
    ND: Mostly. Other days too. He likes working out. It calms him down.
    DETECTIVE: And what time does he go to work out? More specifically, when did he go this past Saturday?
    ND: In the morning.
    DETECTIVE: Do you remember what time in the morning?
    ND: Maybe like ten thirty? I don’t know exactly.
    DETECTIVE: And when he came back, according to his statement to police on the twenty-fifth, you went to get some more beer, and cigarettes up the street at the QT, and were at Ms. Brown’s the rest of the day until you went to get dinner. You spent the night again. Is this correct?
    ND: That’s what I remember.
    DETECTIVE: Well, Miss Dougherty, there are some things here that aren’t lining up with what we’ve found. You’re aware we went to speak with Ms. Brown this morning?
    ND: Yes, sir.
    DETECTIVE: And that she told us she was gone on the afternoon of Saturday the twenty-fourth, so she couldn’t say whether you had been at the house all day or not. It seemed to her, however, when she left with her grandmother and her aunt, that the two of you were also preparing to go somewhere?
    ND: No, sir.
    DETECTIVE: “No, sir,” you didn’t leave that afternoon, or “no, sir—”
    ND: No, sir, I didn’t know she told you that. Until just now.
    DETECTIVE: All right. You and Ms. Brown, you’re good friends, is that so?
    ND: Yes, sir.
    DETECTIVE: And being good friends, she would want to help you out, correct?
    ND: Yes, sir.
    DETECTIVE: So, do you know why, when we spoke to her this morning, she couldn’t verify the story you gave us? About you being at her house? But that she had the impression, from your behavior Saturday afternoon when she returned home, that something unusual had happened? That you seemed . . . excitable and out of breath?
    ND: [Inaudible on tape]
    DETECTIVE: Pardon me, Miss Dougherty, but like I said, you’re going to need to speak up a bit. This isn’t the newest technology, I’m afraid.
    ND: I forgot we went to the movies. And to get something to eat. The movie was intense. I guess we were excited about that.
    DETECTIVE: You went to the movies on Saturday, August twenty-fourth? And to eat?
    ND: Yes, sir. After Bird left.
    DETECTIVE: So, when you told the officers that you were
