Let me take a drink real quick (PAUSE WHILE SHE TAKES A DRINK). So she gave a name and a phone
•
number of her girlfriend. She said “My girlfriend
will come and pick it up and she’ll put it where
•
it needs to go”. Umm.. .we didn’t think anything
about that either. So umm.. . the police officer took
that information and he was still waiting outside
the ambulance. Urnm. . .Lisa said she did want help.
13mm.. .she said “I’m tired”. She would keep closing
her eyes and umm. . .just tuning me out. . .tuning
everything out. And I would take that opportunity
.her.. .those long pauses to think about what she
said placed together. I did ask her “Are you
a Scientologist?” once she gave the address. And
she said “Yes, I am”. 13mm. .she closed her eyes, so
I.. .1 just kinda thought where am I gonna go with
•
this.. .how am I.. .how. . .how am I gonna approach her
with this. So my approach was just to get her to.
talk a little more. The only way I could get her to
talk once she closed her eyes and she’s totally tuned
me out.. .she’s totally tuned my partner out.. .1 could
ask her a question but she wouldn’t answer unless I
said “Lisa, open your eyes”. Her eyes would pop wide
open. . . she’d look directly at me.. .and she’d say
“Okay, I’ll answer however you want me.. .I’ll answer...
I’ve answered all your questions”. And umm. • .so I
would just ask questions that umrn. • .now I can’t remember
them. I didn’t,think they were like really that
•
•-.
important...wouldbe.that important later. But they
were basically questions of her feelings. . .her
emotions.. .umm. . .why. . .you know. . .why. . .what brought
her to this point. .little things like this. And. .and
mainly she would go off on these long tangents. Umm...
