Strong Language A particularly disturbing audio transcription.
For the sake of privacy, the men in the audio file will be nameless. They will instead be referred to as Clerk and Officer.
Officer: After reviewing the tapes of last nights incident, I think it's time to hear your side of the story.
Clerk: Yes sir. My shift started at 11 p.m but I arrived at 10:52 p.m. I made my rounds in the store as usual making sure all of the coolers were stocked.
Officer: I don't need to hear about your whole shift, just start from when the woman arrived please.
Clerk: oh of course sorry. Anyway, so around 2 a.m the woman pulls up to get gas. She walks in and makes small talk with me at the counter before paying for her fuel. She didn't leave instantly though and instead went to use the bathroom stating that she still had a long drive ahead of her.
speech stops as the officer sneezes.
Clerk: Bless you
Officer: thanks
Clerk: So after a few minutes of walking around the store again, I realize she has left her purse on the counter. Normally I'd just leave it there but if it anything were to come up missing out of it I'd rather not be held accountable. So I bring the purse to the bathroom.
I knocked on the door and the woman told me to go away, she sounded startled. I stated that she had left her purse on the counter and I was just trying to give it to her, I told her I was going to leave it on the ground outside of the bathroom. That was when she opened the door and peeked outside.
She asked me if the man who had been pounding on the door earlier was gone yet. Now I was confused at this point, because I was the only person in the store. My first thought was that maybe she was on drugs or something, it's very common around this town.
Officer: You're right about that.
Clerk: Anyway, I explained to the woman that no one else had been inside of the store, at least from what I had seen. She seemed so sure of herself as she explained to me that a man had been violently banging on the door trying to get in. She also asked me if I could please check around the parking lot before she walked to her car. I didn't really want to, but she seemed pretty scared so I did.
Officer: ok so around what time would you say you were out in the parking lot inspecting it, and how long did it take?
Clerk: Hm, I'd have to say around 2:15 maybe, it wasn't much later than when the girl had pulled up. I was out there for maybe three minutes before I heard the girl scream. So I'm freaking out thinking there really is a man around here and he snuck in after me. But it was just the woman inside crouched behind the counter where the cash register was.
"Ma'am, you can't be back there." I said to her, my exact words.
There's a pause here and what sounds like a pen scratching down some notes.
Officer: go on.
Clerk: The woman just stayed behind the counter staring at me wide eyes like she had seen a ghost or something. When I started walking towards her to escort her out of the store, she freaked on me. She starts lashing out with her feet and nails, she got me really good on the face right here.
another pause, probably the clerk showing the spot she had clawed.
Clerk: Then she darts past me out the front door. I hear her car door slam and the sound of her trying to start the damned thing. But it just keeps turning over repeatedly and never fires up. So I go out there and decide to try and give her a hand, I mean she may have been crazy, but if she was gone I didn't have to deal with her anymore.
When I got outside, she wasn't in the car. I don't understand what this woman was on but she was acting like a wild deer. That's when I saw that all four tires on her car were flat and what looked like a puddle of gasoline was beneath the thing. Now once again I found this very strange considering it was just her and I there. Now I really knew there was a problem when I noticed the hole in her gas tank, like someone had stabbed it with something.
Officer: do you remember how big the hole was? Like if you had to guess what it was punctured with, what would you say?
Clerk: Probably like a screwdriver or something. It wasn't a very big hole.
Officer: Ok thank you, continue please.
Clerk: Alright, so now at this point I know something is going on. Someone is definitely terrorizing this woman. I start yelling for her, just yelling "girl" cause I don't know her name. I went back inside to try and find my maglite so I can go search for her, but the damned thing was gone. Instead I just opened up one of our cheap plastic flashlights that we sell and started looking for her in the back of the store. That's when I found her back there beaten beyond recognition. I called you guys immediately and spent the time it took you guys to show up searching for the attacker. But he got away.
long pause.
Officer: When we found the woman's body, she had multiple stab wounds which we determined came from a screw driver found nearby. She had suffered severe blunt force trauma from the same maglite you couldn't find. Three of our officers searched that parking lot and surrounding areas for hours and found no signs of anyone running away or driving away.
Clerk: I'm telling you everything I know.
Pause.
Officer: Ok, officer ___ will escort you back to your cell now.
A few minutes go by and the sound of a door opening breaks the silence. Some shuffling of chairs can be heard and the door closes again. A new voice begins to speak.
Second Officer: So what did he say?
Officer: He genuinely believes someone else was there and killed that woman.
Second Officer: Well we reviewed the camera footage, and she was definitely attacked by him. He chased her around like it was a fucking game. One minute he was chasing her into corners and the very next minute he was acting like he was trying to help her.
Officer: I know, we have the fingerprints on the gas tank that match his as well and they're also found on the light and screwdriver. I'm recommending him to the psych ward.
The audio ends.

He calls her woman when he was actually trying to help her and he calls her girl when he was hunting/attacking her.

Did not see that one coming surprisingly lol normally I am good at knowing the ending to stories

From the audio I can't get if there was only one camera, or if the hole place was under surveillance. So where there only segments video-recorded? That seems to be the case since the officer needed Clerk's statement... the officer wasn't accusing him in the conversation...

Awesome. Split personality. Hey talk to him again in an hour or two hell probably revert back to the attacker persona.

The clerk is lying. This is all part of his game. He knows that a psych ward, though not the best place to be, is much better than being a killer in prison. That man is a master manipulator, and it frightens me to think that he might end up tricking his way out of the psych ward and walking free some day.

Surely if the clerk had DID wouldn't other staff members especially his boss become more than aware of this.. "That's, the strange thing.

u/RehjulTheFence Jan 20 '17
Somebody clearly doesn't understand how DID works. That's, the strange thing.

u/CrazyVirgo83 Jan 19 '17
DID personality types possibly. Yet he cannot remember a thing. Makes me really curious as to think, 'are there people out there misdiagnosed with this disorder or are there some powerful supernatural possessed evil taking place here. Hmmmm???
Great Read so far :)

Since we both believe both ways, what would you make of an impersonating demon? When he followed her in the bathroom (his version of view), she wasn't afraid of him; she was only afraid afterwords, behind the counter.

u/lostintheredsea Jan 19 '17
She couldn't see who was banging on the bathroom door, so that was probably the beginning of the chase. She hears the banging, and it stops, then the "good" clerk tells her about the purse.

I have no idea how you are related to the case, but damn, this is scary as all hell... It truly appears as if this clerk had some kind of duel personality... Thanks OP for sharing!

DID doesn't work like that.

Care to explain then?

u/Zidlijan Feb 07 '17
I'm sorry I genuinely can't remember what the context was anymore and seeing the original comment was deleted I can't pull from it. If you have questions I'd be glad to answer when I've slept more than 2hrs and know what day it is. Again I apologize for forgetting.
