Lee Rodarte

Did you guys have any kind of relationship? We hung out for a while, some months ago. Okay. And then... A dating type relationship? I guess. We never really defined it as dating, but we hung out.

No.

The last time I saw her? Yeah. I think she worked over the weekend. Okay.

You guys have a good night. You too. Best of luck. Thank you.

When was the last time you saw her? I didn't tell you the truth when we talked about fish. Okay. Last time I saw her was Wednesday afternoon.

So I was a little upset. I met her in the parking lot at Bonefish. When was this? Wednesday afternoon. Okay. You know what time or about? It was about 5.30.

So I drove up there and I was hoping to get a chance to talk to her. I pulled in the parking lot. She pulled in a little bit after me. I parked. I said, hey, can I talk to you for a second? And then she comes and gets in the car with you? Yeah. Does she get in the front seat or the back seat? She gets in the back. And I asked why she got in the back. Okay.

She was like, I just don't want anybody to see me, you know.

And where did you get into it?

She said, you can come back here and we can talk. And so I got out and I got in the backseat. Okay, so you guys are both in the backseat now.

Like I said, we agreed to go our separate ways. At that point, she had her phone in her hand. She got out of the car and walked towards the main entrance from San Jose.

And she got out and it looked like she was either texting or calling somebody because as she started walking towards the, there's an entrance to the plaza. Okay, yeah, but it's closer towards 295?

Okay. I wouldn't say she was walking along the edge of the plaza, but she was walking maybe towards this way. And I would say an older model Ford pickup, green, drove past me and around, and she got in. So it seemed like she knew the person? I mean, she got right in. Had you ever seen that truck before? No.

No, I was the last one to see her. So I was a little bit scared at that.

What happened to your neck? That was self-inflicted, actually. Why? I just have been having kind of a hard time... I couldn't. Yeah, I did.

What did you use?

A knife.

Some time in July.

That's not true because we have proof. We have proof.

I didn't do anything.

Okay, you didn't do anything, but she was in your car. She never got out of your car. Well, we can prove that you left with her in the car. So please, do everybody a favor and just tell us.

Okay, man, it's you, Lee. Then tell us now if you're being an honest man. Are you being honest?

Yes.

Okay, well, let's start being honest. She never got out of your backseat, Lee. Video cameras don't lie.

After that passenger door comes open and shuts, comes open and shuts, she never gets out of that car. And you drive off. She never gets out of that car. There is no green truck. What was going on in the backseat? What was going on in the backseat? For the doors to be kicked open. She kicked open that door three times, Lee. She kicked it. We saw it.

I know you're not that cruel inside. Seriously, where did you go with her? I'm begging you, Lee, please. Please tell us. Please don't make us waste any more of our time. Just tell us.

That door kicked open three times. Obviously something went on in that backseat. What happened in the backseat? Did she get mad at you?

I mean, she was upset. She tried to slap me. I slapped her. She went to get out. I grabbed her around her waist and said, where are you going? Why are you hitting me? And she tried to slap me again.

She was hitting me. She wouldn't stop, and I'd squeeze back. She started hitting me. And I left her, I slashed her tire. And it went back and forth.

She had.

She had.

She had her hands around mine. And I turned. and I went to push her down onto the seat. But my hands were on her neck. I thought I had her right here.

Yeah, I thought I had her like right here.

So, do you think you broke her neck? I think she broke it.

Was she just put in the fire pit or did you burn her or what? Okay. Okay.

Did you throw her in the water later on the banks of the water? She's pretty close to the bank.
