Gary Sterling

A few weeks before Daphne disappeared, we were sitting, relaxing, and having a drink.

And she said, Sterling, I've got to leave for a little while, but I'll be back.

She said, I saw this ad in this X-rated paper and sent in a response to the ad and received a correspondence.

She mentioned the Colorado Springs area and said it involved the money she needed to pursue her dream.

She also mentioned an alias that she would be going by and told me to remember the alias, which I forgot.

I mean, it was a simple name.

Carla, Shimon, something simple.

A week or so before Daphne disappeared, she and another female named Jackie got into an argument at the Flair Club on Montview Boulevard in Clinton.

The argument started over a pimp drug dealer named Pablo who had offered Daphne a ride that night to my house.

Daphne came home that night and told me the next morning about what had happened.

She said, Sterling, you won't believe how Jackie acted last night.

She said, I've been knowing this guy Pablo for a long time and last night I ran into Pablo at the Flair Club.

She said, we talked in the club for a while.

It was getting late and he offered me a ride home.

I said, yeah.

Then she said, when they approached his car, Jackie ran out of the club, started cussing me out, calling me all kinds of hoes and said I needed to take my ass back to Gary's house.

She said that she told Pablo to forget it.

She just walked to my house and she did.

She told me that the next morning.

Jackie comes back over to my house and tells me that she feels bad.
