MISSKELLEY: No. I can't remember.

STIDHAM: Then what happened after that?

MISSKELLEY: Then Damien stuck - stuck his penis from - behind one of them little boys - I don’t remember which one - but he didn’t stick it all the way in, he just - just - he just stuck it in and pulled it out. That's it.

STIDHAM: He didn't actually - ?

MISSKELLEY: No.

STIDHAM: Raping?

MISSKELLEY: No.

STIDHAM: (inaudible), he just stuck his penis in there?

MISSKELLEY: He just stuck it up there and just pulled it out and that it - he stick it all the way in or nothing.

STIDHAM: How do you know that?

MISSKELLEY: I was sitting there.

MISSKELLEY: Then he, uh, he shot off on the pants and stuff.

STIDHAM: Who did?

MISSKELLEY: Damien.

STIDHAM: Why did he do that?

MISSKELLEY: To be sick.

STIDHAM: Shot off on the pants?

MISSKELLEY: Uh-huh. (Affirmatively indicating) I don't know which one.

STIDHAM: What color were the pants? Was he masturbating, do you know what masturbating is?

MISSKELLEY: Yes. He -

STIDHAM: Jacking off?

MISSKELLEY: Uh-huh. (Affirmatively indicating)

STIDHAM: Did he wipe himself with the pants or did he? -

MISSKELLEY: No. He wiped it off on the pants.

STIDHAM: What I'm saying, did he squirt it on the pants, or did he wipe himself off with their pants?

MISSKELLEY: He shot on the ground. Then he wiped it off with their pants.

STIDHAM: Okay. And you seen him do this?

MISSKELLEY: Uh-huh. (Affirmatively indicating)

STIDHAM: You don't know which boy's pants it was?

MISSKELLEY: No.

STIDHAM: What was the little boy doing while Damien was jacking off?

MISSKELLEY: Damien done beat him up.

STIDHAM: Was he dead or was he moving or?

MISSKELLEY: He - I'm going to say he was unconscious.

STIDHAM: Still alive?

MISSKELLEY: Yeah. He was just unconscious. I'm going to say he blacked out or something.

STIDHAM: Was that the blond headed boy?

MISSKELLEY: I don’t remember which one. To my knowledge, I'm going to say the one that got side of his left face, to my knowledge.

STIDHAM: Now, what was Jason doing while Damien was doing his jacking off stuff?

MISSKELLEY: Jason went to that one - to - one of them boys, started beating him up - just hitting him, and he cut off his, you know, penis and the whole work.

STIDHAM: Tell me about that. Tell me what happened. You seen it, right?

MISSKELLEY: Right, Jason got on top of him and started hitting on him. That little boy was squirming, and then Jason stuck the - I’m going to say he stuck his hand over- you know a shirt and then covered his hand over his mouth over the shirt, and he just started kept on hitting him and that boy didn't move no more, and Jason was - -

STIDHAM: Did Jason take off his pants?

MISSKELLEY: I didn't see him.

STIDHAM: But you did see him cut the boy's penis off?

MISSKELLEY: Yeah.

STIDHAM: Tell me how it happened. What did you see?

MISSKELLEY: I just seen Jason on top of him and that little boy was still squirming, and next thing I know I just saw a hand come flying like this, that's all.

STIDHAM: Did he do anything else after he cut it off?

MISSKELLEY: He slung something. I don’t know if it was a knife or that little boy's penis or what.

STIDHAM: Where was the little boy laying when this happened? On the bank of the creek? Or was he in the water when this happened? Or up on the service road?

MISSKELLEY: No he wasn't laying in the water, he was laying on the bank by the water, he wasn't laying in no water.

STIDHAM: Blood went everywhere? Is that what you told the officers?

MISSKELLEY: That's what I told them, but I just seen blood, you know.

STIDHAM: Where did he throw it?

MISSKELLEY: I don't know, I just seen him sling his hand. I don't know if it was the knife or - that boy's penis -

STIDHAM: What did they do with the blood?

MISSKELLEY: Wiped if off in, you know, in water and stuff, real good.

STIDHAM: Did Jason have blood on him?

MISSKELLEY: I imagine so.

STIDHAM: This is where I want to be real particular.

MISSKELLEY: I - I - I'm not saying he was and I'm not saying he didn’t, I'm, you know, I don’t know.

STIDHAM: You say Damien was squeezing -

MISSKELLEY: One of them, I don't know - remember which one it was.

STIDHAM: The blond headed boy, was he the one that got cut on his face, you think?

MISSKELLEY: To my knowledge, I don’t know.

STIDHAM: That'd makes sense if you'd knocked the Moore boy out, Jason was cutting Byer's penis, that means Damien had to have been jacking off and squeezing the other boy's penis. That would be the blond headed boy, right?

MISSKELLEY: To my knowledge. I don't know.

STIDHAM: Okay. What happened after Jason cut this boy's penis off?

MISSKELLEY: Then I seen him sling his hand. I don't know if he slung the knife, or, one of the boy's penis.

STIDHAM: What was Damien and Jason saying while this was going on?

MISSKELLEY: They was just telling them to shut-up and get quiet.

STIDHAM: Did Jason say why he did this?

MISSKELLEY: No.

STIDHAM: Did he do it -

MISSKELLEY: I ain't talked to Jason, you know, after -

STIDHAM: Did Jason say anything while he was doing it, about why he did it?

MISSKELLEY: No.

STIDHAM: What were you thinking while this was going on?

MISSKELLEY: That's when I stopped. When I seen Jason get on top of that boy and sling his arm like that. That's when I stopped everything. That's when I stopped.

STIDHAM: Well, what did you do?

MISSKELLEY: I just sit there. I didn't - I didn't - I didn't, I just sit there. And then I was going to see what they was going to do with them. Then they tied them - tied their hands - right hand to their right ankle, and their left hand to their left ankle.

STIDHAM: What did they tie them with?

MISSKELLEY: Shoe string.

STIDHAM: Why did you tell the officers it was a brown rope?

MISSKELLEY: I made it up.

STIDHAM: Why?

MISSKELLEY: (silent)

STIDHAM: You don't know why?

MISSKELLEY: Huh-uh. (Negatively indicating)

STIDHAM: Did you help them tie them up?

MISSKELLEY: Nope.

STIDHAM: When did you leave?

MISSKELLEY: After they done tied them up.

STIDHAM: Jason do anything with the boy after he cut his penis off?

MISSKELLEY: Not that I seen, he - he didn't. I didn't see him.

STIDHAM: Did you see him or Damien drinking blood or do anything stupid?

MISSKELLEY: No, not, no, no, huh-uh. (Negatively indicating) No.

STIDHAM: So what did they do after they did this?

MISSKELLEY: After they done it, you know, they tied them up, tied them up and put them in the water.

STIDHAM: How come Jason didn't tell you what else he (inaudible)?

MISSKELLEY: That was the only boy he had - he had - Damien had the other one and I had the one that ran - that run.

STIDHAM: Well, okay, so they didn’t bother the Moore boy? The one you knocked out?

MISSKELLEY: Huh-uh. (Negatively indicating)

STIDHAM: What'd they do to then?

MISSKELLEY: I didn't see them do nothing.

STIDHAM: Tell me everything that happened from the time Jason cut that boy's penis off.

MISSKELLEY: Then he said he wanted to come over to where I was at, you know, mess with that boy. I told him, no, I done seen enough.

STIDHAM: Then what happened?

MISSKELLEY: Then he went ever there towards - with Damien - that's before that boy get his face cut. Then he went over there with Damien and cut that boy’s face on the left side.

STIDHAM: You told me before that that happened before?

MISSKELLEY: I mean, after - he didn’t cut him - he, you know, scratched him, then he went back. And then sliced him. I'm going to say slice.

STIDHAM: Why did Damien jack off?

MISSKELLEY: I don't know.

STIDHAM: You ever seen him do that before?

MISSKELLEY: No.

STIDHAM: You ever seen him and Damien, uh, him and Jason have sex with each other?

MISSKELLEY: I hadn't ever seen it.

STIDHAM: Did Damien ever suck on that boy's penis?

MISSKELLEY: (long pause) That - the one that he was going to get, you know, screw him from behind. He went on him - he went down on him.

STIDHAM: Damien sucked that little boy's penis?

MISSKELLEY: He didn’t suck on it, he bit it.

STIDHAM: What do you mean he bit it?

MISSKELLEY: Bit the top - the head of it.

STIDHAM: How do you know he did it?

MISSKELLEY: Not hard, but - I'm - I'm going to say he didn't do it hard.

STIDHAM: How do you know that's what he did?

MISSKELLEY: I seen him - I seen his head going down that way. I don't know, you know, I don't know if he - I don't know if he did or not, but I seen his head go between that boy's legs.

STIDHAM: What's this stuff with the ears that Detective Gitchell was talking about?

MISSKELLEY: The ears?

STIDHAM: Yeah.

MISSKELLEY: I don't remember nobody biting one of them boys on the ears. I don't remember.

STIDHAM: Did you see Damien or Jason actually stick their penis in one of the little boys‘ butts?

MISSKELLEY: Going to it. I don't know if they stuck it in all the way or what, but I seen them, you know, as far as I couldn't see no more.

STIDHAM: Did Damien ever get his penis inside the little boy?

MISSKELLEY: I couldn't say.

STIDHAM: You just don't know?

MISSKELLEY: I just don't know, period.

STIDHAM: Did Jason ever do that to any little boy?

MISSKELLEY: Not that I seen, he didn’t.

STIDHAM: After Jason cuts this little boy’s penis off and after Damien jacks off and wipes himself with the boys pants, then what happens?

MISSKELLEY: I remember how he grab - Damien grabbed that boy by the ears. I don't remember which one. But when he was, when he was going to get up the butt, he grabbed him by the ears from behind. He grabbed him by the ears.

STIDHAM: Why did he do that?

MISSKELLEY: I don't know.

STIDHAM: Did either of the boys put their mouths on Damien or Jason's penis?

MISSKELLEY: Not that I seen, no.

STIDHAM: Okay. So what happened after, uh, what did Jason say after he cut this boy's penis off, did he say anything?

MISSKELLEY: Now he said he wanted to do the other one. The one I was beating up on.

STIDHAM: What happened?

MISSKELLEY: I told him, "no." I done seen enough and I wasn’t going to let him do that one.

STIDHAM: Weren't you afraid he was going to stab you or something?

MISSKELLEY: Yeah, I was afraid, but, you know, I been stabbed before but, I wasn’t going to let him bother me.

STIDHAM: Then what happened?

MISSKELLEY: After they done tied them up. You know, I - I - I, you know, I wiped my footprints with a stick, you know, like a zigzag, covering up my footprints and everything. And the blood, they wiped them on, you know, like in the water, make sure all the blood was off the water - make sure the blood was off the leaves and stuff.

STIDHAM: How'd they do that?

MISSKELLEY: Rubbed together, or get their finger and just wipe if off real good. And just wipe that off.

STIDHAM: Anybody have a water hose or anything?

MISSKELLEY: No.

STIDHAM: Buckets of water or anything?

MISSKELLEY: Huh-uh, (Negatively indicating) by the ditch deal.

STIDHAM: Then how did they get the water up on the bank?

MISSKELLEY: How?

STIDHAM: Splashing it with their hands?

MISSKELLEY: Uh-huh. (Affirmatively indicating)

STIDHAM: Is that what you're doing?

MISSKELLEY: Yeah.

STIDHAM: How close to the water was Jason and the little boy when he takes his pants off?

MISSKELLEY: To my knowledge I'm going to say he was pretty (inaudible) enough to splash water out, to splash water, that's how close I’m going to say it was. To my knowledge.

STIDHAM: Okay, Jessie, I'm going to show you a diagram of the crime scene that was drawn by one of the officers. Get your green marker again for me and see if you recognize any of this stuff. Okay. Can you tell that's the Blue Beacon Truck Wash?

MISSKELLEY: The wheat field between Blue Beacon and by the bridge - where the - where it happened at - the wooded area - there's a bridge and there's a - a field - right there. This don't look right.

STIDHAM: What if I were to tell you that this is right. This is the way it is out there.

MISSKELLEY: I - I can't remember. That's, you know, that's my first time ever been out there. And I never paid attention about what’s on Blue Beacon.

STIDHAM: Well make a green mark where the bridge is or whatever else. Make a green mark.
