E. Jones:What?
L. Jones:Why would she do that?
Silverman:Fame. Ruin his reputation. Extortion of money.
E. Jones:I wouldn’t do that. How would I even do that?
Silverman:He mentioned you had full access to his home. That you knew where he kept his cameras.
E. Jones:No! I... never left my room. Not even to go to the bathroom! I peed in a bucket.
L. Jones:Unbelievable. She’s saying she had to pee in a bucket while being locked in her room, and you’re worried about his nasty sex tapes?
E. Jones:He’s been following me! Stalking me!
Fletcher:So, let’s talk about that. You mentioned, he was outside your high school, right?
E. Jones:Yes!
Silverman:We followed up with your high school, and per security footage, Korey has only been on campus once, during last October’s homecoming dance. The one Korey says you invited him to.
E. Jones:No! I didn’t! I swear I didn’t!
L. Jones:What about Boston?
Silverman:We’re waiting for footage, but there is no record of Korey being in the state at that time. No train or plane tickets. No toll roadsor hotel records. Not even a parking violation.
E. Jones:[crying] But Tony was there too.
Fletcher:He also gave us full access to his cell phone. No phone calls or text messages. We did see many with you, Mrs. Jones.
L. Jones:You mean when I was looking for my daughter? Damn right I blew up his line.
E. Jones:He... he must have called from another number. Another phone.
L. Jones:So, you think she’s making all this up? What kind of twisted—
E. Jones:The showcase! He was in the band!
Fletcher:Korey wasn’t at the talent showcase. There was no drummer. Only a DJ.
E. Jones:What?
Fletcher:There’s no way he was at the showcase. Korey was in Las Vegas with his wife.
E. Jones:His... wife? What are you talking about?
Fletcher:Yes. There is video of him and his wife at a nightclub, timestamped the same day as your performance.
E. Jones:[crying]
Fletcher:Mrs. Jones, do you remember seeing a band onstage?
L. Jones:Well, no... but I thought she meant offstage or something. I was in herdressing room. I didn’t... I mean, I don’t think...
E. Jones:I’m not lying! I swear! Gabriela saw my phone! She saw him texting me!
Silverman:And finally, we checked with the school. There’s no student by the name of Gabriela Garcia.
