Tyler: Like, maybe half an hour or so later. Yeah.
Detective Hardy: Why’d you do that?
Tyler: It was Cam’s idea.
Detective Hardy: Your friend. So Cam told you to go back and kill Ms. DiCarlo?
Tyler: Fuck, no. He just said I should go back there and not leave until I got her to answer my questions. So that’s when I went back the second time.
Detective Hardy: And what happened then?
Tyler: I knocked on the door again and she didn’t answer. But her car was there, so I figured she was home and, like, ignoring me.
Detective Hardy: Then how did you get into the house, Tyler?
Tyler: I kinda … I tried the door to see if it was still locked, and it wasn’t. So I opened it.
Detective Hardy: Go on.
Tyler: And, like, as soon as I stepped in it felt weird in there.
Detective Hardy: Weird how?
Tyler: I don’t know. It was really quiet. The only noise was the fridge humming. I took another step in, to the kitchen, and then I saw her.
Detective Hardy: What did you see?
Tyler: She was on the floor, on her back, and at first I thought, shit, maybe she had a heart attack or some kind of seizure or something, and so I bent down real fast to check on her and didn’t even see all the blood. It got on my hands and my knees and …
Detective Hardy: And?
Tyler: I just need a second.
Detective Hardy: Take your time.
Tyler: I sort of freaked out. All this blood was coming from the back of her head.
Detective Hardy: Did you say anything?
Tyler: Like what?
Detective Hardy: Did you start shouting?
Tyler: I might have. I was in shock, I guess. I was totally freaked out. I’ve only ever seen one other dead person.
Detective Hardy: Who would that be?
Tyler: My dad. He had a heart attack shoveling snow.
Detective Hardy: So, is that when you called the police?
Tyler: What? I didn’t call the police.
Detective Hardy: I know. Why didn’t you?
Tyler: Well, I mean, she was … there wasn’t anything anybody could do. She was pretty obviously dead.
Detective Hardy: Still, just about anybody would have called 911. Get an ambulance there, just in case there was something they could do.
