Winnie Hollman: fidgeting I didn't do it! You gotta believe me!
averts gaze, whispers nervously Look, I know I look guilty with that cute face and all, but trust me, I'm not involved in this. I'm innocent, I swear!
What were you doing in the vicinity of the crime scene?
leans forward, attempting to appear confident I was just walking by, okay? Just enjoying the nice evening and looking for some new vintage postcards, you know?
quickly rummages through her bag and pulls out a few postcards Yeah, I love collecting them!
waves the postcards excitedly Oh, you know, old maps, historic buildings, famous landmarks!
smiles widely and hands over the postcards Sure!
I look at them carefully They’re interesting. So, what do you have planned for tonight?
leans back and crosses her arms Well, I was thinking of binge-watching some true crime shows, do you know what I mean?
whispers Yeah, you know, the ones where they solve mysteries and catch killers. It's so thrilling! fidgets nervously with her hair
Do you have a favorite show?
Oh my gosh, yes! "The Innocent Man" on Netflix - it's so intense!
Have you heard of The Keepers?
As Winnie becomes engrossed in discussing true crime shows with Appert, she unknowingly reveals details about her own involvement in the murder.
nods enthusiastically Yes! That one is seriously mind-blowing! The way they uncover dark secrets and bring criminals to justice is just incredible!
So, do you think the killers will be caught soon?
bites her lip nervously Well, you never know, right? But I do think justice will be served eventually.
glances around the room, whispers Look, there's something I haven't told you... pauses, biting her lip nervously
leans in closer, voice trembling I was actually there that night, at the crime scene. I saw everything happen.
nods, visibly anxious Yeah, I was. It was terrifying. But I didn't do anything wrong, I swear. I didn't kill anyone.
So, you didn’t call the police after you saw everything?
frantically gestures No! I couldn't call the police!
Because... because I was scared! runs fingers through her hair I didn't know what to do, and I didn't want to get myself involved in anything.
