she was my best friend .. my whole world at one point.
PART ONE
Do you have any criminal history? Anything big or small that you want to make us aware of?
nadia shook her head ; she held her hands in tight fists in hopes of stopping the two from noticing they were shaking. “ no, ” her voice was quiet. “ no criminal record. nig or small. ” she thought of the time she stole a snickers bar from the corner store .. was that something she should tell them? or the time she saw someone tuck a roll of toilet paper in their winter jacket. she rubbed her forearm while lost in thought. her breathing had changed while she was thinking of this. though, nadia hadn’t taken much notice. she was still trying to process this whole thing.
What is your connection to Daisey? How did you know her? How well did you know her?
heart sinks so deep into her chest that she can’t feel it anymore ; a lump grows in her throat so big she thinks it may stop her from being able to speak. tears well in her eyes but nadia does all that she can to force them back. “ she was my best friend. ” cough.. “ well, ex-best friend. ” she adjusts in her seat as she corrects herself. “ we met in high school during my.. wild child phases. ” nadia tucks strands of hair behind her ear before continuing. “ we clicked instantly. she was my whole world at one point in time. but then .. ” the words trail off. “ we had kind of a falling out. ” truthfully, the whole week that ‘ falling out ’ happened was a complete blur. something about a rumour? something one said that completely through off the other? nadia, for the life of her, could not remember why they had fought that night. “ and we just kind of stopped talking after that. we ended things on . . . not great terms. ” the palms of her hands begin to sweat. memories of them -- of daisey -- flash before her eyes. “ i wanted to make up with her .. to tell her i’m sorry and to be on good terms with her again. ” her eyes begin to water once again. but this time, she can’t stop them from pouring down her cheeks. she tries to ignore it and simply wipes them away with her sleeve. her chin quivers and as she inhales, her breath is choppy.
Have you visited the blog site “veritasexposed”? If you have, how credible do you find the information on this site? Do you know who runs the website?
“ i have, yeah. the girl scares me. ” she shrugs when asked the second question. “ i think she’s full of it. ” nadia fiddles her fingers underneath the table ; she wondered if somehow the girl running the blog would be able to hear her say this .. and hold it against her. but alas, she was under interrogation. and so it had to be said. nadia leaned forwards. “ i think the girl running it is .. crazy. have you seen what she’s doing to people? who--who are most likely innocent? ” her eyes narrow at grant. “ she’s an evil witch. ” it angered her, what the blonde was doing ; she had no right to spread people’s secrets. nadia pressed her lips together, now sitting back into the chair. “ I don’t know her personally, no .. I don’t even know her name. just that she’s blonde and a bitch. ”
PART TWO
Do you remember where you were the night Daisey went missing? If so, where were you? What were you doing? Who were you with?
" yes .. ” nadia tilted her head slightly to the side. “ I was at the football game. ” she let out a small sigh, trying her best to remember that night. it was cold; drizzling if she remember correctly. “ i ate a pretzel and watched the game. there were a lot of people there .. i don’t really think i went with one person in particular. just one big group that went and watched the game. ” by now, her nerves had settled a bit. her hands had stopped shaking and overall, nadia seemed to be calmer. she thought this could help her remember those nights -- because surely they would ask more about where she was. “ and after the football game, I went to the party .. it’s tradition, after all. ”
Where were you the night Daisey’s body was recovered?
" I was in my dorm. ” her brows furrow as she tries to remember “ I was just watching a movie and having a nice night. ”... and then she recalls the break down she had had. nadia’s attention turns to her lap - where her hands are intertwined. “ when i heard the news, i just .. broke. i couldn’t find the strength to even stand. it was ..” she swallowed, remembering the feeling in her chest from that night .. remembering the words she saw on the newspaper. suddenly, her mood makes a switch : almost as if turning on a light switch. she’s quiet. sad. closed off. “ it was awful. ”
How familiar are you with the Ashmont woods? Have you been there often? Have you recently ventured out here? If so, why?
nadia’s head slowly bounced from shoulder to shoulder as she thought of what to say. “ well, i mean i grew up in ashmont so i’m familiar with the woods. ” the tone in her voice, too, had changed. it was more .. monotone. unemotional than it was before. truth-be-told, she just wanted to leave. “ i’m not really the bush type. i prefer cities with people and background noise. ” nadia had watched too many horror movies & read too much creepy pasta to feel comfortable in forests. “ so, no. i haven’t been there in a long while. and most definitely haven’t ventured the woods. ”
PART THREE
Do you have feelings towards the investigation? Any comments?
“ i think you asked the right questions. ” she wasn’t sure what else to say. nadia was tired. it had been an emotional few days and now .. this? though she couldn’t be mad at the police for wanting to find whoever murdered daisey. who knows .. they could be planning their second victim as they spoke. but surely whoever did it would break when asked where they were during the night of daisey going missing and when they found her body. she wondered if this would be the end of it all and they would find the suspect. they were professionals after all .. or at least one of them was. they would be able to see through people’s lies . . . right? “ no further comments than that. ”
Do you have any people you feel the police should look into? Please, let us know who and why.
“ all i’m going to say is .. ” nadia started to gather herself and got ready to leave. she looked grant in the eye. “ those who seem innocent and seem less likely to have done something .. those are the people you should look into. ” and with that & with a sigh, nadia got up and left the room. she was glad it was over. she just wanted to smoke a bowl and take a nap.
