OFFICER WILSON: After midnight, though?

JORDYN PETIT: Yes.

OFFICER WILSON: So you got dressed?

JORDYN PETIT: (inaudible)

OFFICER WILSON: Did Cora tell her parents you were leaving?

JORDYN PETIT: No.

OFFICER WILSON: Did she leave a note?

JORDYN PETIT: No. We just left. We thought we’d be back before anyone woke up.

OFFICER WILSON: Where did you walk to?

JORDYN PETIT: Just around. It was stupid. I wanted to go back but Cora and Violet said no.

OFFICER WILSON: They said no?

JORDYN PETIT: They wanted to go to the train yard but I said it was too far. I was cold and wanted to go back to the house. I was tired.

OFFICER WILSON: So you decided to go home?

JORDYN PETIT: Yes. It’s not that far from the train yard.

OFFICER WILSON: So you were at the train yard?

JORDYN PETIT: No. I told you, I didn’t go there.

OFFICER WILSON: Did you tell Cora and Violet you were going home?

JORDYN PETIT: No. They were being mean. I just left.

OFFICER WILSON: Mean? How so?

JORDYN PETIT: I don’t know…just mean. They wouldn’t listen to me about going back.

OFFICER WILSON: Did you see anyone else while on your walk? Talk to anyone?

JORDYN PETIT: No.

OFFICER WILSON: Did you see any cars while you were walking?

JORDYN PETIT: I don’t know. Maybe. It was late. I don’t remember seeing a car drive by us. But I saw a car. It was down another street. Not close by. It wasn’t moving but its lights were on.

OFFICER WILSON: What street?

JORDYN PETIT: I don’t know. Maybe on Twenty-second Street.

OFFICER WILSON: You were on Twenty-second Street?

JORDYN PETIT: No, I think I saw a car on Twenty-second Street. I’m not sure. I don’t know! I don’t remember!

OFFICER WILSON: Okay. It’s okay, Jordyn. You’re doing just fine. You left before you got to the train yard. How did you come home? What streets did you walk on?

JORDYN PETIT: I don’t know. I just came home. I cut through some yards to get home faster.

OFFICER WILSON: Did you tell your grandpa when you got home?

JORDYN PETIT: No. I just went to bed.

OFFICER WILSON: Tell me exactly what you did?

JORDYN PETIT: I unlocked the door.

OFFICER WILSON: You carry your house key?

OFFICER WILSON: Look at me, Jordyn, not your grandpa. Do you carry a house key?

JORDYN PETIT: In my book bag. I opened the door. Changed into my pajamas and went to bed.

OFFICER WILSON: And the first you heard about Cora and Violet was when I came to your grandpa’s bar?

JORDYN PETIT: Yes.

OFFICER WILSON: What can you tell me about the Joseph Wither project you did for school?

JORDYN PETIT: Nothing. It was just a school assignment.
