21	June the 11th of 1990, did you have occasion to be in the
22	area of Jefferson Road and Lincoln Place that evening?
23	A.	Yes. The Vigesaa family who lives on Lincoln Place
24	were on vacation. They're friends of ours from church,
15	and I was picking up the mail at their house.

1	Q	How long had you been doing that?
2	A	That was the first day. They left on vacation that
3	weekend.
4	Q	Do you recall when they left?
5	A	On Saturday.
6	Q	Did you go over to the -- that home that evening?
7	A	Yes. I intended to stop by on my way home from work,
8	and I forgot and just went home and fixed dinner and
9	cleaned up the kitchen.
10		And a little after 8:00, I was watching
11	television. I remembered I was suppose to pick up the
12	mail.
13		So I got in the car and drove over and picked up
14	the mail and left.
15	Q	What time did you go over there?
16	A	Probably was 8:20 or 8:25 maybe roughly.
17	Q	And when you got there, what, if anything, did you
18	observe about their residence?
19	A	Just drove up to the -- they have a curbside mailbox.
20	I drove up, opened the mailbox, took the mail, backed
21	away, and left.
22		I really -- their house appeared fine. I didn't
23	go in, didn't get out of my car.
24	Q	Did you notice anything unusual about the
25	neighborhood?
DISTRICT COURT OF OKLAHOMA
OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT


144

1	A	The only activity I saw whatsoever was in the
2	split-level house across the street which would be on
3	Jefferson, as I was driving out to leave, you drive right
4	toward that house.
5		I saw a couple on the front porch and another
6	couple standing in the front yard visiting with them.
7	Q	You say you got there about what time?
8	A	I'm guessing it had to be 8:20 or 8:25.
9	Q	How do you fix that time?
10	A	Because I started watching a movie with my husband
11	that came on at eight o'clock.
12		And I watched a few minutes of it and then
13	remembered I hadn't been to get the mail. So I probably
14	left my house at 8:15 or so or 8:20.
15	Q	Now, have you had occasion to be interviewed by law
16	enforcement in this case about your activities that
17	evening?
18	A	Uh-huh.
19	Q	Someone from the OSBI contact you?
20	A	That's correct.
21	Q	Can you tell us when in relation to approximately
22	June 11th?
23	A	It was just a couple days, few days, maybe two or
24	three after this.
25		I don't think it was the immediate day after;

1	but a day or two later, I was called at work and
2	interviewed.
3	Q	And when you visited with them, were you asked about
4	times?
5	A	I believe so.
6	Q	And would your memory as to the times of when you	
7	were out and about on that evening have been better then
8	or now?
9	A	I would assume it's about the same. That's roughly
10	when I remember going.
11	Q	Miss Doughty, let me hand you a document, please,
12	ma'am; and I don't want you to read it out loud.
13		But I'd ask you if you would read over that for
14	a second; and after you've had a chance to look at that, I
15	need to ask you some questions. So would you examine that
16	for a second.
17	A (The witness complied with the request).
18	Q	Had a chance to look at that?
19	A	Uh-huh.
20	Q	Would that appear to be a memorandum or report of an
21	interview that was done with you by the OSBI?
22	A	Looks like the same information I gave at that time
23	what I've given now.
24	Q	In looking at that, are there any times mentioned?
25	A	This says 2015 to 2030 military time. I assume

1	that's 8:15 to 8:30. I'm not familiar with military time
2	enough to know.
3	         That's roughly what I'm recalling that I may
4	have left my house at 8:15. I'm sure I was home before
5	8:30 in that time frame.
6	Q	What were you driving that night?
7	A	It's a 1989 black Plymouth Acclaim.
8	Q	And you say as far as the Vigesaas' home, you did not
9	notice anything; is that correct?
10	A	That's correct.
11	Q	Did you notice anything in the neighborhood?
12	A	Other than what I just told you. As I left, the only
13	people I recall seeing outside at all was just in that one
14	house on Jefferson drive, a split-level home.
15	Q	What did those people appear to be doing?
16	A	One couple was like sitting in the front porch in
17	lawn chairs, and it appeared another couple either -- I
18	assumed it was a neighbor or somebod walking by standing
19	in the front yard visiting with them.
20	              MR. CORGAN: That's all.
21	0 (By Mr. Corgan) Thank you, ma'am. Mr. Carlson may
22	have some questions.
