Other comments:
Damien is a crazy, mixed up with drugs and the cult.
Damien has a skull and books on the cult in his room.
I was a black witch, it was a game people got into for the power and stuff.
Damien says he is into White Magic but that is a lie he is into Black Magic and sometimes he says he is into Grey Magic.
I hate I was stupid enough to get involved in this stuff.
If the cult was involved it would have been between 11pm and 1 am. The main time is 12 mid-night.
Damien could never hurt himself. He doesn’t love anyone but himself. He loves himself to much.
Damien once told me that he had never killed anyone but wondered what it would feel like.
Q. Did you ever preform any ceremonies?
A. Only ceremonies I did I did by myself.
Q. Does Damien have a special hiding place?
A. In the sewers man holes. Tried to get me to hide in one time when we ran away.
Q. When was the last time you saw Damien?
A. About a month ago at Wal-Mart.
Q. Did you say that the death of these boys was ordered to a friend of yours at school?
A. I said that Damien would not have been there he is a coward and would be afraid of going to jail, but he could have ordered it done and if so probably Jason Baldwin would have been the one he is a follower.
Q. how are you and Damien connected?
A. I ran away with Damien. I went to a hospital in Memphis and he went to one in Little Rock. I found out that he plained to kill our first born if it was a girl. Damien would not do it he is a coward and would have tried to get me to do it. That’s when I knew he was nuts and I had nothing else to do with him. I meet Damien at school. I read some of his poems and felt sorry for him.
Q. Are there any special weapons used by the cult?
A. They prefer knives or staffs, but would use what ever they had on hand.
Q. Anything in particular that Damien likes to wear?
A. He always had on something black.
