s is going to be a taped interview in reference to Report #95-29158. The interview is being conducted with Bonnie Portolano.. .P 0 R TO L A N 0.. .a paramedic for Sunstar Ambulance. Today’s date is 4/2/96. ‘The time of the interview is 1415 hours. Present during the interview is myself (Det. Ron Sudler) and Bonnie Portolano.


Det. Sudler:
Bonnie, as we’ve discussed previously, on the 14th of
March I conducted an interview with you concerning some involvement that you had with a Lisa McPherson. We’re conducting a death investigation concerning this case involving Lisa McPherson. And I understand that, on November the 18th, you had an occasion to tend to Lisa McPherson at an accident scene. Is that correct?
Portolano:
That’s correct.
Det. Sudler:
Okay. 13mm.. .on the 14th, we kinda discussed in detail
what you did out there.. how you. . .you know. ..became in contact with her ,through her.. .you know. . . investigation out there. And. . .and I’d like to if you will just kinda
take it from the top about how you were at the
intersection where this accident had occurred and what
transpired while.you were at the scene.
Portolano:
Initially, my partner and I responded to a motor vehicle
accident at the intersection of Belleview and Ft.
Harrison. And the Clearwater Fire Department was
receiving refusals from the patients there involved
in that accident. My partner and I were standing
there speaking with the Fire Department when another
accident occurred at that intersection. At that time,
-.
, .
the Fire Department asked us to go ahead and get
refusals from that accident because it was just a
bump. It was nothing serious. Obviously, someone
was paying attention to the accident and not the
road. And there was just a little run-in there.
