Original subtitles

To shoot two people six times each--

I can't even climb into that darkness.

The creepy dude was most likely right there.

They assume that the murderer knows the victims.

Everyone is a suspect.

Gabby Petito never goes outside.

Did Brian Laundrie have something

to do with the disappearance of these two girls?

This blew my world apart.

I decided that I was actually going to try to solve

the crime myself.

And I was relentless to get answers

and to even enlist Dog the Bounty Hunter

to come and help me.

I said, please, please, please come help me.

There's a body in the creek, and he's screaming.

No, what the fuck are you doing?

Get back in your car.

And she kept repeating, "He's going to kill me."

And he shoots my daughter.

That's about the only time in my career

that I just wanted to shoot him.

You can run.

You can't hide.

The skies in Moab are phenomenal.

They're just phenomenal.

The landscape is majestic.

We have strange, rare mountain features.

You feel like you're at a foreign planet, like Mars.

It is one of the most beautiful places to visit.

So as much as I loved Moab's landscape,

I did not like Moab's energy.

I'm Sean-Paul Schulte.

Kylen was my lovely daughter.

She was probably 17 years old

when she moved to Moab.

She came to Moab to be with me, her dad,

and she really started to grow and blossom.

She grew up in a rural area with very few close friends.

And her best friend probably

was her little brother, Mackie.

In 2015, Mack was killed by one of his friends

who shot him through the window.

Mackie boy was rapping on his window to come sneak

out and come play with him.

His friend thought it was a bad guy

and took the gun out from under his bed and shot

at the head in the window.

Kylen came there to heal.

And she worked at the till, at the front desk,

of this health food store.

And as the guests would come in,

they'd see this big, beautiful, tall girl

with dreadlocks sticking up and a big, beautiful smile

on her face.

I was there the first day Kylen saw Crystal.

So Crystal was shorter

and older and leathered up and rode a Harley.

And Kylen was tall and young and beautiful.

Kylen looked at me, and she said,

I just want you to know that Crystal and I are together.

And I had already knew.

I already saw this blossoming.

I saw this happening.

I'm just-- I'm thrilled to death

that you two are in this wonderful

relationship together.

And they were just--

wow, thanks, Dad.

There was an old Moab that wasn't so accepting,

and then there was the rest of us that were.

I would watch them go into Village Market,

and they would be dancing and holding hands and twirling.

Oh!

It's pollen.

OK.

The pollen is everywhere.

They got married in a big giant tree house in the forest.

I was their best man.

I was their bridesmaid.

I was the ring bearer.

They called each other big wife, little wife.

There was a stark difference between them.

They were happy.

I mean, you could see it in their faces

when you saw them in town.

Kylen had a job at the Moonflower Co-op,

while Crystal was an assistant manager

at the local McDonald's.

And even though many would consider their lifestyle

to be, like, subpar on the economic scale,

they seemed very happy.

And money did not really resonate

to them as a necessity.

Moab seemed to attract people who

maybe weren't what we think of as ordinary

or people who fit in,

a lot of people there who were living in the van life,

not very materialistic, almost like a little hippie community.

People looked out for each other.

They cared about each other.

When they couldn't afford a place,

that didn't bring them down.

Kylen always had a bunny.

Kylen loved bunny rabbits.

If you looked at her name tag at work,

you'd see she drew a little bunny rabbit next to her name.

They were happy and excited and-- and--

and had fun living out of their van up on the mountain.

But I believe that if they were behind a locked door,

they would still be with us today.

I got a call from Moonflower Co-op.

She says, Sean-Paul, I don't know how to tell you this,

but Kylen has pulled a no-call, no-show.

She's missing.

She didn't show up to work.

And Kylen never misses work.

And she said, wait, Sean-Paul, there's more.

Crystal-- because when Kylen came up missing,

we called McDonald's.

Crystal has missed two shifts--

no-call, no-show.

I called the police, and I said,

you need to put an APB out on my girls.

And they said, there's already an ATL.

And I said, what's an ATL?

They said, attempt to locate.

My name is Nate Whitney.

I work for the Grand County Sheriff's

Office here in Moab, Utah.

We cover the Grand County area.

Overall, the county is fairly large.

It's 3,600 square miles.

Crystal and Kylen had told people

that they worked with that they were camping

near the Warner Lake camp area.

Warner Lake is a 30-, 45-minute drive

from center of Moab.

It's just a vast area, and people have a hard time

understanding that there's just so many places where

these girls could have been.

I immediately went online, and I started posting,

"All my Moab friends, keep your eyes out for the girls,

"for the girls' van.

They were camping up on the mountain."

I mean, Sean-Paul put the post up on August 17th,

and I read it that morning as I was going

through my regular routine.

And I instantly started being told, you have to go.

You're going.

At the time, I called it source energy,

because it's not like I'm hearing a voice.

It's more of a--

a gut feeling sensation.

So I finally called him and I said,

Sean-Paul, is this normal?

Do the girls normally no-show, no-call?

And he said, no.

And I said, do you know where the girls are?

And he said, no, I just know they're up in

the La Sal somewhere.

Cindy said, me and all my doggies

are getting in the car,

and we're going up on the mountain

to try to find the girls.

These girls do not camp in a campground.

They'll be in the woods somewhere.

And he told me, you know, look over ravines, look over

cliffs, look for broken taillights,

look for pieces of bumper, you know.

So I said, I will search all day until I run out of gas

or until it's dark.

And she would stop and show them the--

the pictures and say, have you seen these girls?

They're in a silver Kia, a minivan.

And I passed Whispering Oaks, and shortly after that,

I went over a cattle guard.

And that's when I saw a flash of silver.

And so I stopped my car in the middle of the road,

and I backed up and looked again.

And I'm like, oh, there's a campsite down there.

I started feeling like something was wrong.

And I needed to hurry.

And that's when I called Sean-Paul.

And as I was approaching, I was like,

oh, it's a silver Kia.

And then I turned around and I saw there was a tent.

And I said, do you see the girls?

And she said, no.

I then walked over to the pet enclosure

and saw that the bunny was inside.

The bunny had no food or water.

And at that point, I started crying.

And then she went silent.

And I was like, Cindy, are you OK?

That's when I saw the stream.

And I looked to the left, and I see a body.

Of course, I'm losing it.

I'm in Montana, distraught.

I'm on the floor like a puddle.

I don't know what's going on.

So I'm saying to myself, no, this is-- the police

are supposed to do this.

I'm not supposed to do this.

Um--

sorry.

So I finally tell him that there's a body in the creek.

And he's screaming.

She said, I see a body.

And I was like, no--

I fell on the ground.

I was crying. I was screaming.

And he's going, is it Kylen? Is it Crystal?

And I don't want to tell him it's Kylen.

I know it's Kylen because she's so much bigger than Crystal.

I tell him I don't know.

And I look again, and, uh--

and then I have to tell him that it's his baby girl.

And then I said, oh, my word, Sean,

I have to call the police back and let them know.

Kylen was found face down in the-- a small stream nearby.

And Crystal's body was found a dozen yards--

or meters-- further away.

I said, I think she's that way.

I don't know why I knew where she was, but I said,

I think I know where she's at.

As soon as Cindy Sue called 911

and let us know that she had found the girls,

I was immediately called up and dispatched to the location.

Myself and former Lieutenant Kim Neal

started processing the scene.

We had to do that fairly quickly because there was

a big storm head coming in.

We were worried it was going to wash away

even more evidence.

There was blood underneath the mattress in the tent,

but not next to the mattress.

And then I remember wondering why one body was

in one location of the creek and the other body was in

another location of the creek.

They both had been shot five times.

According to their forensics, they determined

that the two girls were shot while in their tent,

but their bodies were found outside of the tent.

We were behind the eight-ball the entire time.

It turns out that the homicide happened on August 14th.

The bodies weren't discovered till August 18th.

We were already trying to make up for that time gap.

We were also fighting weather conditions.

There was a reception center nearby

where the girls were camping.

And they had surveillance footage,

and they can see vehicles coming and going

up and down the mountain.

One of the vehicles that stood out to them as being unusual

was a black Yaris.

The detective watching the footage of all these cars going

on the La Sal Loop Road picked out the black Yaris,

and for some reason, it stood out to him.

It didn't fit in his mind, and he stuck with it.

According to law enforcement, the girls

got home to their tent about--

shortly after 1:00 in the morning.

By 11:00-something that following morning,

the surveillance footage nearby

at the reception center, you can hear gunfire.

The night when Kylen and Crystal disappeared,

they went to Woody's Tavern for drinks.

And there was surveillance video.

And a lot of interest came from that

because that was one of the last times

that the girls were seen alive.

Crystal and Kylen

drive in to Woody's World-Famous Tavern,

which is a local hangout for a lot of people.

They come in, according to the bartender,

you know, once or twice a month.

They're not big drinkers.

They're really just there to socialize with their friends.

Friday the 13th, the girls met up with

some of their workmates to have a beer

and celebrate the weekend.

They reported to their friends

that there was a creeper dude camping next to them.

And they said

there was a creeper up there

who didn't talk to them, but was too close to them

and made them uncomfortable.

This is when they mentioned to people that they're

with about this creepy guy who has not only camped

uncomfortably close, but had actually

walked through their campsite and appeared

to be looking around.

This is the way into camp.

Kylen and Crystal were up at their campsite

up on the mountain, and somebody

had howled like a wolf, and Crystal howled back.

He had kind of ended up camping what they thought

was too close to them, because there's

a million acres out there.

We don't have to be right next to each other.

This is where Crystal and Kylen camped.

And the creepy dude was most likely right there.

Their friends were like, oh, Kylen and Crystal,

don't go back up there.

And the girls were like, we're not really worried about that.

There's two of us and one of him,

and it's not that big of a deal.

And-- and back up the mountain they went.

It was the last time anybody saw them.

Anytime somebody is murdered,

you look at the family, you look at friends,

you look at the person who found them.

You look at everybody as if they could

potentially be a person of interest

until you can prove they're not.

Given that we had no motive, we had to look at all motives,

for lack of a better term.

There were so many tips from--

from people from all walks of life saying, look at this guy,

look at this guy, look at this guy.

And I'm sure they were just being

pulled in multiple directions.

Like, which way do we go?

Right away, clues came in

about Adam Pinkusiewicz.

The clues were from Crystal's workmates

from McDonald's.

Adam and Crystal worked at the same McDonald's,

but Crystal was the morning shift,

Adam was the night shift.

They never worked at the same time together.

And Adam had recently been fired from McDonald's.

He was a disgruntled coworker that had

incidences at the workplace.

He was even given a warning during a confrontation

where he threatened to harm somebody, the manager at work.

There were thoughts that perhaps he

had grudges against his boss at McDonald's because she was

a lesbian, and that he had problems with Crystal

because she was a lesbian and she

was getting special treatment.

Shortly before the murders happened,

he's being told at one point, you've got to work faster.

And so I think his response to that was, it's not me, right?

It's not the fact that I'm not working faster.

It's the fact that I'm not a lesbian.

I'm not these women.

They're, in some ways, discriminating against me

because of who I am.

And he's a gay man, and that's what he resents.

There was a huge red flag about this Adam,

and one of the clues said he left town without picking up

his last paycheck.

Who doesn't pick up their final check?

We continually tried to contact Adam,

but we never got anything back.

Talking to Adam's other coworkers

at other establishments, they described

Adam's car as a white hatchback,

not a black hatchback.

And because Adam Pinkusiewicz had left town so early,

they had no idea where to look for him.

But at the same time, he kept getting

pushed to the back burner.

There was such a wide spread of different suspects,

everything from drugs, to debt, to the creeper

dude, and even others.

For the funeral, it took us 11 days to get the girls.

And we were not allowed to have an open casket.

The girls had been exposed to the elements,

the mountain, the rain,

animals, the gunshots.

I never got to see her, period.

She just was gone.

When your children are murdered,

you're absolutely lost in the dark.

Law enforcement has a tendency to

button up and not share information.

So even though they may be working hard,

that doesn't always translate well to a victim's family

because they're not seeing what they're doing every day.

So the day after the funeral, I said,

I've got to go to Moab.

I decided that what I was going to do was,

I was actually going to try to solve the crime myself.

I'm not going to let the crime of the two

hippie lesbians on the mountain get swept under the rug.

I think that the kind of people that maybe might know

what happened are not the kind of people

who are going to go into the police station and give clues.

These are the kind of people who

are-- kind of roughnecks off the street

are who I need to talk to.

And so I thought, I'm just going to--

I'm going to set up a clue booth

every morning at 9:00.

And I'm going to take in clues from the community

and see what happens.

You want all the help that you can

from civilian population, to law enforcement,

to anybody else, private sector investigators.

You want all that help that you can get.

The thing that Sean-Paul did that we really liked

is, people would come to him who weren't comfortable coming

to talk to law enforcement.

Every once in a while, he was able to bring us something

that we were able to look further into.

I'd set up here every morning from 9:00 till

noon to do the clue booth.

Folks would come and tell me real clues.

I would basically have the girls' Harley

jackets here, and their boots.

I'd have some rocks and some paintings and some flowers

and a couple things hanging up, you know?

And people were used to seeing my books, my pamphlets, my clue

cards, and my pencils, and of course, my phone,

because I would be texting--

or literally messaging the sheriffs as they

were giving me the clues.

Basically, wait there all day, all afternoon, for someone

to come forward with any tip of any kind at a park bench

to help solve his daughter's murder.

Over that time frame between the murder and the time

I came on board, he had already amassed 37 different suspects.

And then, from noon till 1:00 every day,

I would do press.

There's not just one escape route through town.

He didn't go through town and stop and gas

up and get caught on video.

He may have.

I just remember being amazed at his strength

and, uh, resilience.

I personally do not believe that Kylen and Crystal

are resting in peace.

I was just astonished

by his sheer determination

to show up there every day and sit in that park

and take clues from anybody that

would bring him information.

It boggled my mind.

There were so many tips from--

from people from all walks of life saying, look at this guy,

look at this guy, look at this guy.

I kind of had to weed through and learn how to be

an investigator and figure out what was pertinent to right

here, right now and what was an event that happened nine years

ago that probably didn't have anything to do with--

with our case at all.

But, uh, this is where I sat every morning.

This is where I was sitting, taking in the clues.

Every day, clues would come in.

So wait till you hear this.

Crystal came to the Moonflower to pick up Kylen after work.

And Crystal would park the van in the alley facing

the post office and the coffee roastery place

across the street

that while they were sitting in the van,

they saw a guy punch a girl in the face.

The guy tried to drive off in the van,

and the girl, like, dove in the window to go off with him.

The guy on the curb right next to them

was already calling 911 and saying,

hey, we just saw a guy punch a girl in the face,

and off they went around the corner to the north.

It was Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito.

Gabby Petito never goes outside.

They had observed Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito,

and they had observed Brian Laundrie being

abusive to Gabby Petito, which would

have been extremely upsetting.

The couple had been on a cross-country van

trip when she disappeared in August

and he returned to Florida.

Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito

were in Moab the exact same weekend.

Brian's stretching, doing some morning yoga.

And Kylen and Crystal saw them

interact with each other right in front of Kylen's work.

You can't keep chocolate in Utah, not in July.

Brian Laundrie was on our radar

as far as me trying to figure out who did this.

When Brian Laundrie was first brought up,

if you get any information that might pan out,

you always have to go and you have

to either eliminate somebody as a suspect or build--

or build evidence to support the fact

that they are a suspect or a person of interest.

Crystal decided to call 911.

We know that down the road that led to law enforcement

initiating a traffic stop of Gabby Petito

and Brian Laundrie outside of town

as they're headed towards the Arches National Park.

Domestic violence in the state of Utah

is a misdemeanor offense.

And it's usually handled at the patrol level unless

there's a serious bodily injury that's occurred,

in which case-- and sometimes, I get called out on those,

and other times I don't.

That being said, this case was handled by the Moab

City Police Department.

So it really added to the--

the flurry of rumor that--

and suspicion that maybe Brian Laundrie was responsible

for Kylen and Crystal's death, because his girlfriend

goes missing, he was also in town,

these two girls go missing.

So it just seemed like there was a nexus between it all.

Did Brian Laundrie have something

to do with the disappearance of these two girls

and their subsequent murder?

It really did kind of inspire these theories that somehow,

maybe Kylen and Crystal had been the ones to call 911,

that Brian Laundrie was aware of this and that he had,

you know, gotten out of-- out of his hotel the next day

and gone on some vendetta against

the people who had called 911.

So we didn't know if it was Brian Laundrie.

Keep in mind now, I had my clue booth,

and everything's happening all at once here.

All of these things intersected and happened

at the exact same time as my girls went missing.

They had the cell phone records.

In the cell phone data, we were able to confirm

that Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito were not in the area

at the time of the homicide.

It is very coincidental.

But you know, it's--

coincidences happen every day.

A discovery today in the Florida nature

reserve where Brian Laundrie was believed to be hiding.

Investigators found what appeared

to be human remains, along with personal items,

such as a backpack and notebook

belonging to Brian Laundrie.

God forbid your children are murdered,

this is what you're going to expect--

cold faces, no answers, a lot of time,

and a whole bunch of questions.

We decided to just hit everything

from the very beginning really hard again.

And we ended up getting a warrant

and seizing Cindy Sue's phone.

There's a knock at the door, and my dogs, of course,

go crazy.

There's three of them.

And I can't get them to calm down.

And there's three officers standing at the front door.

And so I get the dogs out of the way and I get outside.

And I-- you know, they introduce themselves.

They're from three different departments,

these three officers, and three separate cars.

And I, you know, was, what's going on?

And they said, well, we're here to serve you

with a warrant.

And I-- I was like, what?

For what?

Well, you're a suspect in a murder in Moab.

I said, I found them; I didn't kill them.

They said, no, this says that you're a suspect

and we're here to take your phone.

Why are you doing this?

When we seized Cindy Sue's phone,

it was to make sure that what she had told us

about her whereabouts and who she had talked to

and what she had said was true.

She actually took a couple of photos with her phone,

from the road, of the crime scene to show me.

When we were at the crime scene,

one of the officers asked me, do you know-- because I

took them to Kylen's body.

And they said, do you know where Crystal is?

And I said, no, but I believe she's that way.

And so an officer took off and went walking that direction.

And a few minutes later, he came walking back out,

and he's walking really fast.

And I said, did you find her?

You know, because I wanted to know, was I right?

Is that where she was?

And he just put his hand up like this.

And his lip was trembling and he

just walked really fast by me.

And I said, I didn't kill them.

I would never kill anybody.

They took my phone.

And that is not only to eliminate her as a suspect

but also to eliminate the potential for a defense

attorney to say, well, you didn't really look

at the person who found them.

Cindy Sue should have had a ticker tape parade

and been given the key to the city,

not treated like a suspect.

And I was relentless to get answers, to get help,

and to even enlist Dog the Bounty Hunter

to come and help me.

- 2:30, sir. - All right, god bless.

Thank you.

I said, please, please, please come help me.

And he showed up, much to my surprise.

You know, we had the world-famous

Dog the Bounty Hunter helping out.

And he got a celebrity from across the country

to come out here with a crew at their expense to--

to dig deep.

When Dog the Bounty Hunter came, he put up a 1-800

number and took in clues.

Dog showed up and he wanted us to give them a short list

of who we thought was the greatest

suspects to-- to-- to go digging deep into.

Now, we went into that meeting with Dog,

and the very first person we mentioned was Adam.

When Dog came, he thought it was someone else.

He was only here two days, because law enforcement

called me into the office and told me that they had

figured out what had happened.

Law enforcement called me in.

And JD was on my side when--

I thought they going to arrest him.

Grabbed me and pulled me in.

And we thought, what's going on here?

And they sat me down and they gave me a piece of paper.

I read it.

When I got halfway through, and I saw that Adam had confessed.

We were pulling at all the strings.

We were tugging on everything we

could right there at the end.

We were trying to find Adam so hard there at the end

that we had the FBI running traces

on any of his known associates or known possible whereabouts.

And we had the Utah SIAC doing the same thing.

They came to the same conclusion,

that he was still receiving mail in Hollywood, Florida.

Adam Pinkusiewicz was driving a white hatchback,

as far as we knew, and so--

until we got to Florida and was able to pull up

an old incident that Adam Pinkusiewicz was

associated with a black Yaris.

We also learned a lot about Adam Pinkusiewicz.

He also lived, according to the police, the van life.

He was living out of his car, which was a Toyota Yaris.

We also learned he apparently was

a guy that was living at the same campsite

as Kylen and Crystal.

As far as we know, Crystal and Adam

never actually met.

You've got to understand that when the creeper showed up

at their campsite, she didn't recognize him,

didn't recognize him as a person that she worked with.

We gotta remember that this is at the tail end of COVID.

And back then, everybody was still wearing masks, especially

in the food industry.

He had purchased a Glock 19, 9-millimeter handgun.

He had bought the types of rounds that were

used in the double murder.

Eventually, law enforcement caught

up with Adam Pinkusiewicz' significant other.

When enforcement contacted him, he said, this is about a murder

in Utah, isn't it?

And what he explained was that Adam told him

he killed a couple of women in Utah.

This lover of Adam's told us details about the crime scene

that the only person who would have known these details

was the killer themselves.

When he was asked why he didn't report it,

he said he was afraid of Adam, that if he

said something, that Adam, you know, could harm him.

But what he wasn't aware of was, by that point,

Adam had already took his own life.

He had actually committed suicide

within weeks of his departure from Utah,

from Moab.

In fact, he took his life on September 24th of '21

just weeks after leaving here.

His suicide note that was found in Iowa,

he did go on a pretty big rant.

He indicated that he had to contend with an unhappy

work environment.

He must not have been happy in his own skin

to have such animosity to a lesbian couple.

Shortly before the murders, he

notices at one point that Crystal

has come into McDonald's.

She's not in her work outfit, and she

is making some sandwiches behind the counter.

She's making some for Kylen.

And this really aggravates Adam Pinkusiewicz.

He thinks this is somebody who shouldn't be doing that.

And so he goes and complains about this.

You've got to keep in mind,

Adam knew who these girls were.

He had complained on them to the McDonald's management.

They didn't know him.

So it was a one-sided connection, almost.

He brought up the fact that he was tired of being told

what to do by these women.

So I don't know if they were telling him to quiet down

in his camp, or to stop working on his car,

or to stop playing his music loud at night.

We just don't know.

There was a lot of disturbing discoveries

about Adam Pinkusiewicz.

When they were going through his phone,

they saw that he would have notes about how

he had these cravings to--

to rape and to murder people and things of that nature.

It almost seemed to be more like, if it was a hate crime,

it was more gender-based as opposed to sexual orientation.

So it's, I think, more of the gender

that he is angry and blaming as opposed

to their sexual orientation.

Unfortunately for this case and for, like,

a trial, Adam Pinkusiewicz took his life in Waterloo, Iowa.

And then that's when I learned the case

was closed, not closed.

And I'm like, I don't understand.

How can the case be closed, not closed?

And was told, they're still looking for DNA evidence.

They're still looking for the gun.

He took his life with a revolver, a different gun that

was used in the murder of--

of these two girls, which was the first thing that stood out.

After he had committed the crimes,

he had actually physically moved the girls,

and must've got blood all over himself,

and then sat in his car and fled the scene.

Well, that blood and-- and DNA must

have transferred to his car, into his car seat,

down in under the covers.

But once they found the car, it had been sold.

It had been detailed twice.

So even though they cut apart and chopped up the seats

and looked for DNA in the foam down

in the bottom of those seats, all of that evidence

had already been washed away more than once.

When we were in Florida and we found out

that the Yaris had been sold

and that Adam had committed suicide,

we were able to get ahold of Adam's family

and was able to get them to allow us to take some of Adam's

personal effects into custody as evidence,

including three cell phones.

In the cell phone data, we found the connection back

to this individual in Iowa who ended up being Adam's lover

and who ended up being the witness

that he confessed to prior to his suicide.

The most important thing from the outset

was finding out who did it, bringing

them to justice if at all possible,

and closure for the family.

You hear about cops holding on to things that they

didn't finish for a long time.

But at the end of the day, the closure for the family

is way more important than the closure for the cop.

Nate helped me.

Nate listened to me.

Nate took my clues seriously.

And Nate and Al, the other sheriff,

really went out of their way to go try to solve

and do the research across the country.

By finding them, they got to go home.

They got to bury their daughters.

And they got to know what happened.

As tragic as it was, they weren't

left with those questions looming

over them, which so many families have to deal with.

God forbid your children get murdered.

I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

By far, the most distraught loss you could ever go through

is a child and a parent dying in the wrong order,

OK, especially murder.

I watched the light shine from inside

out of Kylen and Crystal.

I was absolutely thrilled and supportive of

their wonderful relationship.

It came out over the radio.

A big, serious police call comes out.

She wins a number of military honors and distinctions

when she is in Iraq.

He was watching her.

It initially sounded like, perhaps, a school shooting.

You immediately assume the worst.
