Case # 780 - Page 2

McGeven continued to look at the officer for couple of minutes. It seemed like he can see right through officer Kraos but then he went back to his initial position and started his story in slow delusional voice, “It was a stormy Tuesday, September of 21^st 1989 when all five of us were in our dorm common room. The lights were out due to the bad storm. ‘Must be a short circuit,’ Ken sighed ‘now, what we do?’ he said as he flipped the pages of his diary. Ken is the eldest in our group, was born on 3^rd of October 1968.” 2

“Where was Ken from?” the officer interrupted McGeven. 3

“Lexington, Kentucky.” McGeven stated as he crossed his arms and sat back. He continued with a big smile on his face, it seemed like his thoughts have traveled back in time, “He is dark haired, intelligent eyed guy with a charming smile; Ken is the brains of our group...” 4

McGeven’s mental as well as physical state was getting worse as the time passed. The officer looked at the mirror in confusion, he had afraid this would happen. We looked at each other, sympathizing on Terry’s position but there was nothing we could do. What he was saying had nothing to do with the officer’s question but he kept going on with his story. 5

“...always ahead in studies as well in sports; he loves writing lyrics, playing piano and he’s a crazy dancer. Fitness is his obsession; he runs for hours, this is why we call him ‘Speed.’ 6

‘I wonder what Emma is doing’ added Brian to Ken’s sentence as stretched his arms. Brian, ‘Frick’ as we call him; I can’t remember why we started calling him that but he’s been called Frick since 3^rd grade. He is tall 5’7” blonde slightly chubby guy with a wide face and extremely small eyes...” 7

It was very odd; Terry was defining things like they are happening in front of him. The details were so accurate to the real event we all just sat there in amazement hoping for the best. Officer Kraos on the other hand was trying to bring Terry back on track but he seemed so involve in his story he seemed to unnoticed the officer’s actions and questions. 8

“...He was born on 20^th of February, 1971 in Jamestown, New York. Brian is total movie buff and a dramatic guy. He is crazy about his two pets, a cat named Toto and a Chihuahua named Coolio, and he gets into lots of trouble for trying to sneak them into the dorm rooms, breaking the “NO PETS ALLOWED” rule, and he hates heights.” 9

Terry paused to take a sip of water. Officer Kraos took advantage of this opportunity to say, “All of your best friends are suspected to be involved in Miss Conner’s disappearance.” 10

Terry placed the glass back on the table and gave the officer a confused and questioned glare then looked back at the table and asked in a low voice, “why them?” 11

“McGeven, can I call you Terry?” asked the officer politely. 12

Terry nodded in response. 13

“Good. Terry, I will answer all your questions later,” the officer got up and advanced towards the snack table. “Now, will you please continue...” he asked as he tried to choose from the variety of donuts from the box. 14

Terry ran fingers through his hair and looked back on the table for couple of minutes and gave a loud laugh and continued his story, “‘Hm... wonder what Emma is doing,’ we all said in one teasing tone. Emma is a tall blonde, hazel eyed girlfriend of Brian. They have been together since high school; she is also a very good friend of mine.” 15

“Sounds like you guys were really bored,” added officer Kraos as he brewed two cups of coffee.16
