He stated that they were pretty loud that night. He stated he last saw them in the back yard around 9-10 pm he knows it was dark out then: they had been playing washers for about 7 his now. He went back to his room and started typing on a typewriter that he had just received. He stated that around 1140hrs he was starting to type a letter to a friend when he got up to get a drink from the refrigerator, he noticed at that time that they had finally stopped playing “washers”.

4/4/07 900hrs - arrived at 19 Dauphine Street in reference to prior arrangement to pick Crystal Mangum there to take her to Raleigh to speak with attorney general’s office Jim Coman, Mary Winstead, and Greg Tan. I arrived at the house with Inv. R.D. Clayton. When we arrived, I went to the front door where i was greeted by Mrs. Pettiford. I asked if Crystal was there and she said “no”, I asked her if she knew where she was, she stated “no”. I advised that i had talked to Crystal yesterday and she had told me to pick her up here. She stated she would try to call her. I went back outside and tried calling Crystal on her cell phone, no one answered and I left a voice mail for her to call me back. I called Mary Winstead due to our appointment was 1000 and it was around 925hrs, I advised her that Crystal was not there. It was agreed for me to wait to see if Crystal showed up.

At around 930hrs Crystal arrived in a vehicle nxa7182. She was dropped off by an unknown male. She was sifting in the passenger seat, i walked up to the vehicle and i asked if her if she was ready. She stated that she was and got out. I opened the back door to my vehicle and she stated that she was going to go in the house and drop some things off. She went in and about 10 minutes later came out, i noticed that she was not walking as she has normally walked, Inv. Clayton started talking to her and when she got to the driver side of the door to get in, i stopped her and asked if she was ok. She stated that she was fine; i noticed that her eyes were wondering, and her demeanor was different then any time i have been around her. I had her sit down and i started to ask her questions, she was answering as though she was intoxicated. I asked Crystal if she had taken any medication. She told me that she had taken ambien last night, i asked her what time she took it at she replied that she had taken the ambien at 6pm, she stated she just started taking the 5mg tablets instead of the l2mgs. I asked her if she had been drinking earlier and she stated “no”. I got close to see if i could smell any alcohol on her. I did not smell any odor of alcohol coming from her breath or body. I again asked her if she was ok, and she stated to me that she was fine.

I felt that there was some kind of impainnent with Crystal, I called Greg Tan (SBI) to advise him of the situation. Agent Tart advised that he would call Mr. Coman and Mrs. Winstead. Agent Tart later called back and advised to see if we could meet at Station 2 instead. I told him that would be fine. I asked Crystal if she wanted to go to Station 2 and have the attorney general’s office meet us there. She agreed and we transported her to station 2. On the way to station 2, I asked her how her little boy was - she stated “oh I thought he was here”, she later stated he was fine and they were out of school. I then asked her if she thought any more about going to school again (as we passed nccu), she stated that she thinks about it everyday. I asked her what she was going to do. She stated she was planning on moving. I asked where she was planning on moving to. She stated she was moving out of the country, i asked her where she was planning on moving to she stated she was going to move to amsterdam, i asked if she knew someone or had family there. She then started laughing and stated that she was kidding and was moving miami.

We got to station 2 and we slowly walked to door. She got in station 2 and i escorted her to the conference room. She asked where the restroom was and i showed her where it was. It was about 10-15 minutes she was in there and we had our female secretary go check to see if she was ok. As she was going in to check, Crystal came out. She sat down in a chair at the conference table and I turned on the TV, I started flipping the channels and she decided to watch tv (food network). I asked her if she wanted anything to drink or eat. She said she wanted a drink, I got her a mountain dew. She finished one of them and she asked for another one and a straw. I got her another mountain dew and a straw. She watched tv for a little bit and she looked at the clock and it was about 1030hrs, she stated that they were late, I told her that the original plan was for her to meet there in Raleigh. Shortly thereafter Mrs. Winstead, Mr. Coman, and Agent Tart arrived. They started to ask her some questions. They noticed that she was impaired and asked to do some tests. Crystal stated that she didn’t think she was impaired and she felt like she usually does. Agent Tart took handwritten notes of the interview .(the interview was also video recorded) in the interview Crystal consented to have a blood sample taken, arrangements were made and a nurse Pam King arrived and took a blood sample. A medical release form was also obtained from Crystal.

It was agreed that Crystal be taken back. I asked her where she wanted to be taken to, she stated Dauphine Street. At 1 158hrs we left Station 2 - while in the car she stated that she had messed up again, i asked her what she was talking about. She stated that she messed it up and that she was kicked out of the meeting. I told that it was probably a good idea to get some sleep and that the medication she was taking shouldn’t be mixed with alcohol. She agreed and stated that she did need sleep. We arrived at 19 Dauphine St. At 1214hrs; Inv Clayton and I assisted her in getting out of the car. Inv. Clayton went in front of her to open the door to the residence, she was walking to the stairs and i asked her to grab onto the side rails of the steps. She grabbed onto them and put one foot on the steps, Inv. Clayton was helping her up the stairs when he told me to grab Crystal. Her body went limp and she fell back into me. I lifted her up and Inv. Clayton assisted her to my vehicle and I called 911.

I advised communications of the situation and engine 4 and medic 8 arrived. I advised both units of the medication she had been taken the way she had been acting. I advised them that she said she had eaten a small breakfast and i advised them that i witnessed her drink 3 mountain dews in my presence. The medic unit arrived and took possession of her medication that was in her purse they advised me they were going to take her to Durham Regional. Ms. Pettiford her aunt that lives at 19 Dauphine Street rode in the ambulance with her. Throughout the night i periodically checked on Crystal and spoke with her cousin and boyfriend Mathew Murchinson. I later spoke to Crystal while she was in the hospital and she advised me that they thought she was dehydrated and she also advised me that the doctor had told her she had overdosed on the pills. Crystal told me she had told the doctors about taking the pills to early, and that she thought she had just taken the pills to early in the day.

I advised Greg Tart and Mary Winstead of Crystal’s condition. I was notified by Mrs. Winstead in the morning that the ag’s office was going to be making an announcement regarding the dropping of the charges against dave evans, reade seligmann and collin finerty. I contacted crystal on or around 830. I advised her that the ag’s office wanted to me with her again and she said she couldn’t do meet with them today. I advised that it was very important that they meet with her today. I asked why she could meet and she stated that she a meeting set up by Mrs. Winstead.

On or around 10.1 called Mrs. Winstead about meeting with Crystal - she stated that she had talked with the counselors and that Crystal had told them that the media was out side of her house and that she would be able to make the counseling meeting. I advised Mrs. Winstead that i could go pick Crystal up and make arrangements to make sure she got to her appointment and then i could take to her meet them afterward.

Officer Macfaydyen and I went to Crystal’s reported residence of 19 Dauphine Street. I tried to call Crystal and no one answered, i then called her aunt Mrs. Pettiford. Mrs. Pettiford stated that Crystal was not there and she hadn’t been staying there. I asked her where she could be and she didn’t know. I tried multiple times calling Crystal and leaving multiple messages. 1 then went to 2518 Barrack Dr.. Where she had stated that her children were sometimes watched. I noticed the same vehicle in the back of the house that dropped her off. I drove up in the driveway and spoke to an unknown female; she stated she didn’t know where Crystal was. I told her that i knew she had been staying here and the female stated that she had left, I asked her when and she stated, last night. I then asked who took her, she replied “I don’t know”. At that point it was apparent that they were not going to tell me where she was. I then left the driveway and parked my vehicle down the street to call the ag’s office and m) supervisors. I advised the ag’s office of what was going on and they advised me they had left multiple messages and text messages to contact them. They also advised me they had contacted 2518 Barrack residence and had spoke to someone at the house who said they would give her their messages. I also contacted an unknown person at the Barrack residence and advised them if they saw or heard from Crystal to contact me.

I then contacted her cousin Ms. Pettiford's 31 year old daughter who seemed close to Crystal and had traveled with Crystal on another appointment. I contacted her and stressed the importance of meeting with Crystal. I asked if she would talk to the family at 2518 Barrack to see if we could locate crystal. I went to dauphine street and picked up her cousin. We then went back to 2518 barrack to see if she could find out where crystal was. I drove up the drive way and the same female came out the front door and confronted the cousin at the doorway. About 5 minutes later the cousin came back and stated she had told her they didn’t know where she was. A vehicle that was there had left. I then drove the cousin back to 19 dauphine street; on the way there 1 asked if she knew how to get a hold of Matthew Murchison. She called the number that was given for 2518 barrack street (XXX-XXXX). She spoke with a person and they stated that they didn’t want to give the number to her that they would call him and tell him to call us, i again gave them my number and pager to call.

I dropped the cousin off and went back to Station 2 and advised the ag’s office and Capt. Lamb that I could find crystal. At around 1355hrs I received a call from Crystal, she asked “what is going on” I told her that i had been looking for her for over 3.5 hours, she stated “oh, i dozed oft”, I stated that the ag’s office wanted to meet with her.

The more you post of Himan's notes the more obvious it appears that there are discrepancies in the way this was handled from the AG and SP. Please note the folowing:

1.the girls phone numbers that Reade called in the so-called airtight alibi do not seem to recall him calling the night in question. That is odd as it was late at night and it seems the girls would remember something like that. Please note this is NOT mentioned in Cooper's report. As analysis of the time of the calls will reveal they were in fact fleeting and ? if they connected which is consistent with someone trying to create an alibi phone record.

2.Blood tests were supposedly done on CGM while talking to the SP's and a medical release signed so the results should be able to be included in the AG's reports. Yet, you see that the results were not included. Thus, there is no proof provided that she was intoxicated, just the opinion of medically untrained people that she was impaired and who have a vested interest in saying she was too impaired to proceed. If you remember Cooper's press conference, he said they had reason to believe that she was impaired; he did not clearly state that they had evidence that she was impaired that day; there is a difference between those statements. The fainting later could be caused by dehydration and indeed CGM mentioned that as one of her diagnoses when she spoke back to Himan.

3.Cooper stated that CGM wanted to proceed but as you can see from Himan's notes that she was not contacted prior to the Ag's statment so how would Cooper know that she wanted to proceed when she did not know he was dropping the case?

4.Strangely, the neighbor contacted by the Ag was not Bissey, the one objective witness to the stripper's entrance not affiliated with the team or the strippers, but to the roomate who has gone on record of saying he did not see anything himself and even quotes Bissey(the actual witness) in his testimony! It was ludicrous that the AG and SP did not re-interview Bissey. That they did not and interviewed an non-witness instead is dubious.

In fact, the more you print of Himan's notes, the more dubious Cooper's decisions seem to be, IMO.

Himan's notes make clear that the false accuser is a liar.

Your twisted interpretation and attempt to delude others makes clear that you are too.

Clouded by your own prejudice, you will see only what you want to see.

Sell stupid somewhere else. You won't find any takers here.

I second your response to this idiot.

1) Why didn't Himan contact the two girls Reade called on 3-14 until a year later, when the case was finally with the SPs?

2) Why did Crystal purposefully make herself unavailable to the SPs and Himan prior to the AG's announcement?

3) Why did Himan not measure the bathroom in question when he was in charge, instead of over a year later at the behest of the SPs?

4) Why did Himan apparently not know Reade's last name is "Seligmann" not "Seligman" prior to Cooper's announcement? That also seems to be when he realized Collin's name wasn't "Finerty".

1.who cares if Himan misspelled their names? So he left off an N or two. big deal. it does not invalidate his notes

2.ad hominem attacks will not make the discrepancies pointed out above go away and you can bet your bottom dollar that the new commission of the city council is going to key in on these discrepancies as they are going to try to re-try the case.

Face it, Cooper did a crap job and only pretended to investigate,imo, when what he really did was cut a deal with the defense and used one of their briefs to craft his statement,IMO. The first statement in Cooper's report, that the accuser arrived already impaired, was refuted by the testimony of not one but three witnesses who state she was unimpaired when she entered(Kim, the driver and Bissey). One of those witnesses(Kim)then reported that the accuser's mental state changed AFTER she got to the party after a drink. The only people who alleged she was drunk from the start were the lax team members yet that first statement is stated as an absolute fact despite other witnesses saying the exact opposite. It is appparent,therefore, that Cooper only used the lax accounts in his statement, which reads exactly like a defense lawyer's brief. Cooper's folow-up report is also sketchy. Cooper not charging CGM is also completely suspect,imo. If he were to charge her and she was not as delusional as he alleges(without on the scene medical/psychiatric evidence to back him up,btw)in the court case, his actions would then be questioned publicly. that is the real reason she was not charged, imo.

Two separate drug tests indicated that the false accuser was not drugged the night she made her false claims. Hinting otherwise in the face of scientific evidence to the contrary revealed Nifong to be a manipulative liar and it does the same for you.

To all but those who refuse to accept the truth, like yourself, the drug tests show the accuser was not given a date rape drug. To you, the drug test results mean that CGM was drugged and the AG was bought. Where the logic in that conclusion?

The only discrepancy you've managed to point out is the one between the truth and your manipulation of it.

It doesn't matter how hard you try, you cannot change the truth about what happened nor can you disguise your motives. Call Vicky and Cash, they'll buy what you're selling.

those hair drug tests DO NOT test for date rape drugs as their metabolism is too rapid;somehow that was left out of the discussion when all the press was going on about the drug tests. Its understandable as the press and Nifong and crew are not toxicologists. the hair tests used test for drugs with slow metabolism that accumulate over time like MJ. Hair drug tests are not used by the FBI for that reason. The only valid test would be for serum or urine the night the incident occured, period. A proper toxic screen was not done the night of the evaluation at Duke medical center. One wonders how this case would have come out if she had been taken to nearby UNC Memorial hospital, only 15 minutes away from Duke. I'll bet the exam would have been done competently and a proper screen done and we'd all be having a different conversation.

Troll, please stop making things up. Two drug test were given. Read all of the recently released documents and you'll learn that you need to change your lies just like Crystal had to. One test was for GHB and other date rape drugs, the other for five specific drugs. It was Nifong who publicized only the test for the five atypical date rape drugs and also Nifong who put forward the theory that since her "memory" was so good she couldn't have been given a typical date rape drug. Your right about one thing, finally. Things would have been different if your fellow liar had been taken to UNC or any hospital outside of Durham. The truth would have been known the first night had they done so and you'd have saved yourself from exposing yourself as a liar and racist.
