Kim Major

Since then, Major has been assigned to many of Ashland's sexual assault cases, adults and children.

She had become the go-to for cases like Jane Doe's.

She'd even been drafted by neighboring counties to help them with their cases.

And after meeting Kim Major, I can see why.

Out of uniform, she doesn't look like a typical police officer.

With long hair and flowy clothes, she could be a high school art teacher.

She's soft spoken, gentle, no sharp corners.

Her soft approach was at once empathetic and disarming.

It made her good at what she did.

When it came to Jane Doe, Detective Major immediately had a plan.

First, they would need to relocate to a more comfortable space.

She got Jane to follow her out of the interview room and down the hall.

Why is that important?

In Major's office, there were tangible objects lying around in different shapes and textures, like a fidget spinner and a heart-shaped ornament.

Major knew that when people kept their hands busy, it was easier for them to say what was going on inside their heads.

Major offered Jane Doe a seat and settled in across from her.

Up close, Major noticed more injuries on Jane, scratches, some beginning to fade, some raw and new.

The man Jane said had kidnapped and assaulted her was also being brought to the station.

He would be questioned next.

Jane's account of what she said he had done to her would determine the potential charges that could be brought against him.
