“Wouldn’t want to trip on the way back to my car,” I said.
Fifty-One
Statement of Tyler Keeling, April 4, 2022, 4:30 p.m., interviewed by Detective Marissa Hardy.
Detective Hardy: How are you doing now, Tyler?
Tyler: I didn’t do anything. I know it might look like it, but I didn’t.
Detective Hardy: We’ll get to that.
Tyler: And I want my sister to be here.
Detective Hardy: She’s probably waiting for you, but right now it’s just the two of us. I understand you’ve come to live with your sister recently, but she has not applied for legal guardianship.
Tyler: Yeah, but she’s my sister.
Detective Hardy: There’s a process to these things, Tyler. Your rights were explained, right?
Tyler: Yeah, but I didn’t do anything.
Detective Hardy: Then I guess we’re good to go. Why don’t we start with you telling me what you were doing at Candace DiCarlo’s house?
Tyler: I don’t even know who that is.
Detective Hardy: That’s the woman who was murdered.
Tyler: I didn’t murder anybody. And I knew her as somebody else.
Detective Hardy: Who would that be?
Tyler: You already know this.
Detective Hardy: Tell me anyway.
Tyler: I figured she was Brie Mason, that woman you were asking about when you came to the house on Saturday. Like I said, I saw her at the store and recognized her and wanted to ask her some questions.
Detective Hardy: What sort of questions?
Tyler: Like, what the hell was going on, basically. Was she going to come back and still be married to Andy, you know, my sister’s boyfriend? Because then everything would go to shit.
Detective Hardy: So you followed her home. How’d you do that?
Tyler: On my bike.
Detective Hardy: You must be pretty fast.
Tyler: She hit a lot of red lights, so that’s kinda how I kept up.
Detective Hardy: And you followed her into her house. What happened, Tyler? Did she get scared when you confronted her? Did she fight back? Is that what happened?
Tyler: I didn’t go in her house. She told me to go away. She went inside and locked the door. And so then I left.
Detective Hardy: Okay. But you went back, didn’t you?
Tyler: (unintelligible)
Detective Hardy: I didn’t hear that.
