was my fault." Rachael's clothes werc collected by Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) after
photographs were taken.
Your Affiant contacted Rachael Hilyard and began asking for personal history
information. Rachael spontaneously stated it seemed like she was coming at me with a picture
frame and this has happened before like deja vu. God was telling me to do it. I asked her if she
had taken any drugs or alcohol recently and Rachael said she didn't want to talk about it. No
further contact was had with Rachel.
