POLICE

When did you have this conversation?

CM

I don’t remember exactly. [Pause.] We had lunch maybe four or five weeks ago. Louise mentioned she didn’t get paid over the summer, and was trying to pick up more freelance work to tide her over, and I said I might be able to help. She called me about it a week or so later.
