Detective Lara Scarpatti

I was one of the first to arrive, yeah.

Exit my patrol vehicle and make my way over to make contact with the complainant.

That was Rebecca Schwartz.

Rebecca was very bubbly that night, so she immediately approached me, began to tell me that she had arrived home, that she had not been home since earlier that morning.

Did she seem nervous?

Did she seem upset?

In the traditional sense, nervous, no.

I mean, of course, some people can react, you know, very differently to stress.

She did not seem, in the traditional sense, nervous.

While units are searching in the home, they do advise over the main radio channel that there was a deceased person located within the home.

No, she did not.

I was wearing an earpiece that night, so that's not something that she could hear.

At some point, she calls her son, Ben, and he comes to the house.

Yes.

Ben had some very strange behaviors.

I mean, obviously, Rebecca's behaviors were not typical of what you would see.

Ben's were not either, which was also quite notable.

He was very, very nervous, very concerned with the amount of law enforcement presence and had, you know—

had some concerns.

And at one point he, you know, was like, can I speak to you?
