ROBERT PEALE: Why don’t you start at the train yard, Jordyn. That’s what’s important here. If Officer Wilson has more questions, she’ll ask.

JORDYN PETIT: We went to the train yard, like I said.

OFFICER WILSON: For the record, who went to the train yard?

JORDYN PETIT: Me, Violet and Cora. We were going to look for Joseph Wither. We did a project on him for school and we wanted to see if we could find him. Later Gabe was going to meet us there.

OFFICER WILSON: What made you think Joseph Wither was going to be there?

JORDYN PETIT: Well, I knew he wasn’t really going to be there. I knew he was make-believe but Cora thought he was real and I think that Violet kind of believed it, too. Cora went on this chat room and met someone who said he was Joseph Wither. He kept telling Cora how much he liked her. How special she was.

OFFICER WILSON: A chat room? Did you tell anyone about this? Your grandpa? A teacher, maybe?

JORDYN PETIT: No. Cora made us promise that we wouldn’t and we didn’t want Cora to get into trouble. Her parents don’t let her go online much. She would have gotten in big trouble if they found out.

OFFICER WILSON: Do you remember the name of the website?

JORDYN PETIT: DarkDoor? No, it was DarkestDoor.

OFFICER WILSON: Okay, so you went to the train yard to look for Wither…

JORDYN PETIT: Yeah. Violet and I were going to play a prank on Cora. We were going to pretend that we saw Wither and scream and yell. Gabe was going to be there, too, and jump out. Violet didn’t know that Gabe was coming, though. We brought a knife and I was going to pretend to be stabbed by Wither, who was really Gabe. Then I was just going to get up and show her that I was okay. We just wanted to scare her.

OFFICER WILSON: Is that what happened? You scared her?

JORDYN PETIT: No. We didn’t get a chance to.

OFFICER WILSON: Why’s that?

JORDYN PETIT: I don’t know for sure. At first it was fun being at the depot so late. It was dark and creepy. But it was cold and I started to get nervous we were going to get in trouble so I told Cora and Violet that I wanted to go home.

OFFICER WILSON: Did the other girls want to leave, too?

JORDYN PETIT: Cora wanted to stay. She wanted to keep looking for Wither. When I tried to walk away she got mad and grabbed on to my backpack and almost knocked me down. I turned around and pushed her. She fell down.

OFFICER WILSON: That’s when she got hurt?
