OFFICER WILSON: You certainly are within your rights to call an attorney. The question is, do you think that Jordyn needs a lawyer? If so, please do. On my end, I’m just trying to get as much information as I can to help in this investigation. Jordyn may be the only person who saw or heard something important last night. She might not even know it’s important—that’s why I have to ask these questions and sometimes more than once.

THOMAS PETIT: I want to help. Jordyn wants to help.

OFFICER WILSON: So I have your permission to continue to visit with Jordyn?

THOMAS PETIT: Yes. Fine.

OFFICER WILSON: Now, Jordyn, what time did you and your friends leave for the train yard?

JORDYN PETIT: Around midnight, I think.

OFFICER WILSON: You said that Cora and Violet were being mean. Did you fight? Did it get physical?

JORDYN PETIT: No! It wasn’t like that!

OFFICER WILSON: I’ve been told that you weren’t very nice to Cora, that you bullied her.

JORDYN PETIT: No! Cora is my friend.

OFFICER WILSON: So you weren’t bullying her? The people I’ve talked to are saying that you’ve been calling her names, posting nasty things about her on social media. Are they lying?

JORDYN PETIT: It was nothing. Just stupid stuff and it was a while ago. We’re friends again. I promise!

OFFICER WILSON: I heard there were some disagreements over a boy. Any truth to that, Jordyn? Were you and Cora fighting over a boy?

JORDYN PETIT: No! That’s not how it was. Grandpa, I want to go home. Can’t we just go home?

THOMAS PETIT: Enough! Are we free to leave?

OFFICER WILSON: You can go, but we’ll need to talk again soon. Jordyn, I suggest next time we talk you are more forthcoming in your answers. We’ll find out the truth one way or another and it’s to your benefit to help us get there.

Case #92-10945

Excerpt from the journal of Cora E. Landry

Nov. 11, 2017

Today I asked Kendall if she knew who Joseph Wither was. She rolled her eyes and laughed. “Duh,” she said. “Everybody’s heard of Wither. Haven’t you ever gone down to the tracks during a sleepover?” she asked. Then she made a face and covered her mouth as if she said something wrong. “Oops, I forgot you don’t do sleepovers.”
