- Excerpt
OFFICER GRADY: We just have a few more things to go over, then you can be on your way. Sound okay?
JOHN DOVER: Sure. Fine. I want to help.
OFFICER GRADY: What can you tell me about a website called DarkestDoor?
JOHN DOVER: DarkestDoor? Never heard of it.
OFFICER GRADY: You never stumbled across it while doing a web search of some kind?
JOHN DOVER: I guess I may have. I’ve been on a lot of websites. But I don’t recall that one specifically. I may have gone on it. Do you remember the name of every website you’ve ever surfed?
OFFICER GRADY: Think hard, John. We have a warrant for your home and school computers right now. Our tech guys are pretty good at their job and will be able to figure out your digital footprint pretty quickly.
JOHN DOVER: Why are you searching my computers? I don’t understand. I haven’t done anything.
OFFICER GRADY: Where were you on Sunday night, John?
JOHN DOVER: I already told the other officer. I went to Grayling with some coworkers. I got home around midnight.
OFFICER GRADY: And you were there the rest of the night?
JOHN DOVER: Yes!
OFFICER GRADY: Can anyone vouch for you?
JOHN DOVER: Brett Reese dropped me off at about midnight but after that, no. I went to bed.
OFFICER GRADY: You live just a few blocks from the train yard, don’t you?
JOHN DOVER: Yeah, but so do a lot of people.
OFFICER GRADY: True. But those people don’t have an eyewitness who says she saw them at the train yard right around the time Cora Landry was attacked.
JOHN DOVER: Someone said they saw me? Who? They’re lying. I was at home.
OFFICER GRADY: Sit down, John. I understand why you’re upset but if you’re telling the truth you have nothing to worry about.
JOHN DOVER: I am telling the truth. Who said they saw me at the train yard? It’s a lie.
OFFICER GRADY: You went to visit Cora Landry at the hospital earlier this week, is that correct?
JOHN DOVER: Yes. She was severely hurt. She was my student. Is my student. I don’t think that’s so unusual. Lots of teachers probably do the same thing.
OFFICER GRADY: But this is the problem, John. You have a history of inappropriate communication with students. Your principal said that Cora was eating lunch alone with you in your classroom. And now someone says they saw you at the train yard the night of the attack.
JOHN DOVER: I can explain all that. Jesus Christ. Am I under arrest?
OFFICER GRADY: No, you’re not.
JOHN DOVER: Then I’m free to go, right?
