What did you do?

Did they tell you not to go back to your apartment?

Did you ever go back to your apartment?

Yes.

What did you do?

What were you looking for?

No.

Definitely not.

Yes, I was woken up in the middle of the night by a loud scream.

There was a scream that started me out of my sleep. I checked my phone to see the time because I was going to call 911. It was around 2 a.m. There was a voice that was screaming words, the words I couldn't understand fully. Was it a male voice? A female voice.

And then assuming that the apartment above mine is laid out the same as mine, there sounded like chasing, a lot of footsteps going across towards the front door.

It sounded like multiple.

Towards the front door because I was in the bedroom and I heard it.

Distressed. Not quite angry. Emphatic.

I thought that maybe I had heard the tail end of the fight, but I only ever heard one voice.

Correct.

I lay there awake for a minute because I couldn't go back to sleep. My husband had woken up, but he thought the noise came from outside, and he went back to sleep rather easily. I could hear the sounds of a TV, and then when I moved from the bedroom to my living room, there were sounds of someone walking across the apartment, and the sound of the washer and the garbage disposal.

I only heard her voice, so I just assumed it was an argument.

No.

The voice that came after the screaming, that was... It kind of sounded like when you're already upset, but you're trying to prove a point, and you're crying at the same time. So it was just very kind of garbled. I would say that there was crying behind it.

I did not.

Because by the time I... settled down from being abruptly woken up and thought that I heard footsteps to a cross and a door slam. I thought that it had just been a normal apartment argument and, uh, everything kind of calmed down.

I did. When did you contact the authorities? Um, I want to say the 20, 27th or the 28th.

Uh, because I had seen the, uh, missing persons poster for Jasmine on Facebook and connected the dots of her last known location being the floor above mine. And so I submitted a tip to Crime Stoppers saying what I heard and I just thought it was the right thing to do.
