I'm Detective Decker. This is Detective Gates. What is your name? Uh, Ally. Ally. Pleasure to meet you. You saw what happened? Um, well, that's my apartment right up there. So, I didn't have a real clear view of what was going on, but I did see the man pull that girl by her arm, but I thought they were just playing. I mean, you know, college kids are always horsing around like that. Mhm. The man looked like a college kid. No, the girl looked like she might have been a college student. The man was older. He was dressed all in black except he was wearing a white t-shirt. The man was wearing a white t-shirt. Yeah, underneath a black button-up shirt. I don't understand. If he couldn't get a clear view, how could you tell what color his t-shirt was underneath his clothes? Cuz he was wearing all black and he just had a white band right around his neck. Similar to what the officer was wearing. Um the collar was different, but it was similar. Like a turtleneck. Uh, no. Lower than that. Like a uh what do they call that? A mock. Like a mock turtle. Like a priest collar. Like a priest's collar. What else did you see, man? That's when the truck came and blocked my view. And how long was this truck in your field of vision? Maybe like 5 minutes. Did you hear anything, a scream or anything like that while the truck was parked there? No, nothing like that. The truck just pulled away and I assume that they were both gone. I mean, the girl was not by the side of her car. All right. Well, if you think of anything or remember items that you haven't already disclosed, please don't hesitate to call. The officer will take your pertinent information. Okay. Thanks for your Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been four years since my last confession. You've been busy. Yes, Father. What brings you here today? I made a big mistake again. Again? It's not the first time that I've done this. We all make mistakes. Not like this. I took a life. You killed someone? Yes. When? Last night. Why? I was afraid. Were you in danger? No, father. Was it an accident? No. Look, I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened. Who did you kill? My unborn baby. You had an abortion. I was two months pregnant. The baby's father's in the Navy. He's been gone for over a month. I'm all alone. You're not alone. Not if you don't want to be. I've heard that before. Sure doesn't feel like that. I should have come here. Heat. There he is. My little brother. How's the landscaping business going? Huh? Beats the alternative. You look good, Mike. Danny, thought I mentioned it. Father Paul offered him a part-time job, part of his parole agreement. No, I didn't mention it. Listen, we didn't have a chance to talk after the trial, and I just wanted to say I feel like, as I recall, you were being escorted by a couple of sheriff's deputies off to prison. Mike, he's trying to make amends. No, it's all right. It's not It's all right. Respect is earned, right, Mike? No, quite frankly, I'm a little surprised at this newfound attitude of yours. I mean, if it was me, I I' I'd be a little pissed off at the guy who put me away for 3 years. Really? This is what we're
