A. Twenty-two years.
Q. Did you ever have occasion to meet Frankie Callahan?
A. Yes, but I did not know that was her name at the time. She never said her name.
Q. Can you tell me how you met her?
A. I met her in the Falks’ apartment.
Q. Do you recall what day this was?
A. Wednesday, September 10th. In the morning.
Q. Who introduced you to her?
A. No one introduced us. She was leaving the apartment when I came to work. Mrs. Falk was out for the day, but Mr. Falk was home.
Q. Was that unusual, for Mr. Falk to be home on a weekday?
A. Yes.
Q. Did he explain why he was home?
A. No. It has happened before when he has beentraveling or there is an event for the children. But not often.
Q. Did you interact with Ms. Callahan?
A. Yes, she was coming out the door when I was coming in. We surprised each other.
Q. This was at the front door of the Falks’ apartment?
A. Yes.
Q. And did she seem upset?
A. Yes, she was crying.
Q. Did she say why she was crying?
A. No. I didn’t ask. I didn’t know who she was.
Q. Did she say to you what she was doing there?
A. No. She apologized and then she ran out of the apartment past me. Even though Mr. Falk shouted at her not to leave.
Q. What did you do after that?
A. I came in and started to work downstairs first. That is what I usually do. I asked him if he wanted me to go work in another part of the apartment.
Q. And what did he say?
A. Well, this was all on text so we could use Google Translate. But he said no, that it was okay because he was leaving soon. Then he tried to give me some money and asked that I not tell Mrs. Falk that I had seen him at home at that time because she might be upset. And that no one wanted to see Mrs. Falk upset.
