boy he sure did spend a lot of time trying to change his clothes.
Door was closed, so he thought "better not" (what does that mean)
Went downstairs and decided to do chores - do a ton of dishes
Dishwasher fixed 2 days prior -- so he was literally a couple of days behind on dished (why not just load the dishwasher)
Once he left the kitchen area he thinks he went to the living room
I think I just laid down. I set my alarm on my cell phone for the morning and just laid down
Used a Snuggie blanket to cover up with
He went to sleep right away - it had been a stressful day
Tennis shoes off, the ones he wore to work that day
I think, uh, uh, I go to sleep
Something woke me up that evening
What was that?
I'm not sure
I woke up, I thought I heard a noise in the kitchen area. And then a little while after that I thought I heard a noise on the stairs
Said he thought one of the boys came down the stairs again.
When did you wake up again.
It occurred at 3:51
How did you know
I know from the Verizon phone records
Vashti called my cell phone from her cell phone
Vashti had a passcode on her cell phone
Did you know the number to unlock V's phone
I do not
what transpired when you got this phone call?
Um, phone rang, I was laying sideways on the couch, phone was on the arm of the chair, I reached overhead and read the readout.
It says Vash dash Cell.
Did you answer? Yes
Convo: I answered the phone, hello, and the first thing V said was "are you awake". I just said "yah". She said you need to come get the boys. I don't think I responded to her. At that point I was getting up off the couch - I automatically thought she went somewhere with the boys (that was the sound I heard earlier). I started to get up to look through the office window to see if car was there. I didn't respond to what she said...just trying to figure out was going on.
You need to come get the boys, or they're going to get hurt (V). I don't remember what she specifically said.
What did you do?
I remember, I, I, still didn't respond. But I had been bent over seeing through the window, but I stood up - where are you? Why would the boys get hurt? Where are you (these are thoughts).
Um, I started to take a step or 2 towards the stairs, to make sure they're gone, and I don't know if the phone was at my ear or not, but I don't remember any convo with V after that. I was at the stairs where the LR meets the Foyer.
I was standing right about here - through the windows, to see the driveway. I stood up and was right about here (at the boys playtable). Hears a creaking noise from the ceiling (below bedroom).
Almost simultaneously - creaking noise was heard - like someone taking steps, it was like a creak of every floorboard in the room being stepped on once. Substantially louder than someone walking. I turned to look at the ceiling - almost when I had my head turned I heard the first bang, first pop.
I took off running to the stairs.
I ran up the stairs.
