### 1994

On June 21st, recently rescued teen Kate Wallis made a statement to Officer Kingsley and Detective Karin Anderson about the day in question. She claimed that Jeanette Turner saw her when she was held captive around December, but pointed out to Anderson that she can’t be sure as she didn’t have a calendar or clock. Jeanette wasn’t her friend as she barely knew her. Kingsley asked if she’s sure it was Jeanette Turner - Greg and Cindy’s little girl. Kate claimed she had proof and presented a necklace with the “you go, girl” symbol on it.

On July 4th, Anderson and Kingsley visited Jeanette Turner to to speak with her about Kate Wallis. Greg and Derek arrived and Greg called him William, to which he corrected that it's Officer Kingsley today. Detective Anderson told Greg that they want to speak with Jeanette about Kate Wallis. Greg asked if that's necessary, to which Kingsley clarified it wasn't required but it would be helpful. Greg planned to get Cindy so they can be present, which surprised Kingsley.

At the station, Detective Anderson assured Cindy they weren't charging or holding Jeanette, just questioning her. They arrived in an interrogation room where Cindy was paranoid about what it meant. Kingsley reiterated they planned to ask Jeanette questions with her consent, which Jeanette wasn't worried about. Detective Anderson showed Jeanette the necklace Kate provided, and asked how Kate ended up with it, to which Jeanette admitted she threw hers away. Anderson asked why, and Jeanette explained it was given to her by an ex-friend before their falling out. She noted that the necklace was one of thousands that were sold in the mall. Kingsley asked why she thought Kate would lie about something so serious, to which Jeanette thought it’s because she was dating Jamie Henson, Kate’s ex. They ask if the fight between Jeanette and Jamie was about Kate, and when Jeanette blundered, the officers left the room.

## Biography

### 1994

Nick was hired to represent the Wallis family during the fallout of Kate's rescue from Martin Harris's house. On July 4th, Nick and Jeanette's lawyer Denise Harper deposed Vince Fuller for Jeanette's counter-suit against Kate. Vince talked about how long he knew Jeanette. They have lived next door since they were born. Denise asked what the nature of their current relationship was but he was hesitant to answer, so he said Jeanette kept to herself. She asked if Jeanette had ever lied but he couldn't recall her ever doing so. Nick pointed out that he and Mallory were with her when she first entered Martin’s home, which Vince said was correct. He asked if Jeanette had ever gone back into the house. Vince firmly said that to his knowledge, Jeanette had not gone back into Martin's house.

### 1995

On July 15th, Kate, Rod, and Joy met with Nick at their home. He remarked on the tastefulness of the wallpaper. Kate’s reputation and the Wallis family’s reputation were at stake alongside a large sum of money, but Joy just wanted to win. Kate wanted to know how to win and told her mother to let Nick talk. She remarked that Jeanette was smart to build her case in secret but luckily, Kate was smarter, as she didn't go hunting with arming up first. She asked the lawyer how to prepare. Nick stated that Jeanette alleged Kate spread false information and her legal team would paint Kate as an unreliable narrator. Kate firmly claimed she doesn’t lie. Nick knew they would ask everyone, including her, as her memory was in question. Her legal victory lied in the consistency of the details of her memory. They went over the details of the case to prepare.

Nick told her to act like he was Jeanette’s lawyer for the sake of cross-examination. He asked about the day in question and precisely how long she was in captivity, but she wasn't sure. She was in captivity for months when she heard someone break in, though they left before she could see them. She peered through the cages on the windows and saw Jeanette fleeing the scene. She was sure as they held eye contact. Nick noted that Jeanette’s lawyer was good as she would dig deeper by picking through her entire time in captivity. They would try to spin the trauma to pick apart her memory. He asked about the day she was rescued but she didn't want to give much information.

On August 15th, Nick and Denise Harper, Jeanette's lawyer, prepared to depose Tanya Peterson for their respective cases. Tanya had volunteered on behalf of Kate as she claimed to have critical information regarding Jeanette and Martin Harris. Nick and Denise asked if Tanya had reason to believe Jeanette wasn't telling the truth. Tanya clarified they were talking about Jeanette Turner. He asked Tanya to clarify that she lied and her idea was just a misunderstanding.

On June 21st, 1993, Jeanette and her two best friends Mallory Higgins and Vince Fuller went to the mall to celebrate Jeanette's fifteenth birthday. While there, Mallory and Vince purchased the necklace from a shop and gifted it to Jeanette, who was surprised at the gift. Mallory brushed it off as only costing $7. Jeanette wore the necklace everyday since, and only removed it to sleep or shower. Otherwise, she placed it inside her jewelry box in her room.

On December 24, 1993, Jeanette broke into Martin's house and stole a snow globe. She heard creaking floorboards from the floor above her and panicked. She ran out of the house and unknowingly dropped her necklace. Kate, who had free reign of the house, picked up the necklace. She hid it from Martin but kept it.

On June 26, 1994, Kate Wallis went to the police station to tell them a new piece of information regarding her kidnapping. She told them that Jeanette Turner had seen her in the basement and didn't say anything. As proof, Kate presented Jeanette's necklace, which she claimed fell of Jeanette while she was in the house.

On July 4th, 1994, the Skylin Police Department brought Jeanette in for questioning. Detective Karin Anderson and Officer William Kingsley asked about the necklace and presented it in an evidence bag. They asked how Kate ended up with it, and Jeanette didn't know. She threw hers away. Anderson asked why, and Jeanette explained it was given to her by an ex-friend before their falling out. The necklace she owned was one of hundreds that were sold at the mall, and while the necklace looked like hers, it wasn't. Once home, Cindy Turner confided in her husband, Greg Turner, that the necklace the police had was Jeanette's - and their daughter just lied to the police.

She claimed that Jeanette Turner saw her when she was held captive around December, but she can’t be sure as she didn’t have a calendar or clock. Jeanette wasn’t her friend as she barely knew her. Kingsley asked if she’s sure it was Jeanette Turner - Greg and Cindy’s little girl. Kate claimed she had proof and presented a necklace with the “you go, girl” symbol on it.

On July 4th, Jeanette was visited by Officer William Kingsley and Detective Karin Anderson who want to speak with her about Kate Wallis. Greg and Derek arrived and Greg called him William, to which he corrected that it's Officer Kingsley today. Detective Anderson told Greg that they want to speak with Jeanette about Kate Wallis. Greg asked if that's necessary, to which Kingsley clarified it wasn't required but it would be helpful. Greg planned to get Cindy so they can be present, which surprised Kingsley.

At the station, Detective Anderson assured Cindy they weren't charging or holding Jeanette, just questioning her. They arrived in an interrogation room where Cindy was paranoid about what it meant. Kingsley reiterated they planned to ask Jeanette questions with her consent, which Jeanette wasn't worried about. Detective Anderson showed Jeanette the necklace Kate provided, and asked how Kate ended up with it, to which Jeanette admitted she threw hers away. Anderson asked why, and Jeanette explained it was given to her by an ex-friend before their falling out. She noted that the necklace was one of thousands that were sold in the mall. Kingsley asked why she thought Kate would lie about something so serious, to which Jeanette thought it’s because she was dating Jamie Henson, Kate’s ex. They asked if the fight between Jeanette and Jamie was about Kate, and when Jeanette blundered, the officers left.

### 1995

On July 4th, Officer Kingsley escorted Jamie home to his annoyed mother, Paola Henson, who thanked Kingsley for the escort. She snapped to Jamie that they talked about loitering before, but Kingsley corrected that Greg Turner called it stalking. Jamie remarked that it's a public street and Kingsley, unamused by the comment, told Jamie to pick a different street. Jamie went inside wile Kingsley shouted that he doesn't want another call about Jamie, who merely saluted the officer on his way down the hall.
