We're just using her first initial, B. She was a minor when this all happened, and she asked not to be named.
But we've corroborated the story with police reports and court records.
In any case, B is walking through the park, actually the same park where David grabbed Christy.
A man grabs B, hits her in the face, and walks her to a ditch where he rapes her.
Bea reports it right away, so the police collect a rape kit.
Bea tells the police she didn't get a good look at the man's face, but she remembers his voice.
They set her up with an audio lineup, which is what it sounds like.
She listens to a series of recordings of suspects' voices, and she picks one.
He becomes the lead suspect in her rape.
Over the next few months, David Wood becomes the prime suspect for the desert murders.
The police get frustrated, given all the suspicion floating around the sky and the lack of smoking guns.
So they look back at the case of B, a case where there's both positive identification and biological evidence they can test.
They figure if they can make a connection between David Wood and B's rape, they can start proving a pattern that'll help to put him away for the desert murders.
So they get a warrant to collect David Wood's blood.
And they test it against the semen in B's rape kit.
And the test excludes David Wood as the rapist.
To David, this story is a key exhibit for his argument that he was railroaded.
It shows the police were willing to blame him for every bad thing that happened in El Paso.
