But he wasn't the only witness.
There were a bunch of other accounts from actual customers that were inside the shop that night, which those statements are our third clue.
One of the statements we have was from a regular at the yogurt shop named Daryl Croft.
Daryl was actually a former police officer who ran his own security company.
The girls knew him as did Eliza's mom, who saw Daryl there when she visited Eliza at work that night.
He ordered at around 10 p.m., an hour before the store closed.
He had his security uniform on because a man in a military-style jacket asked him if he was a cop.
Then he let Daryl cut in line.
Daryl described the man as white, about six feet tall, mid to late 20s, with a medium build.
He had dark hair, was clean-shaven, with a clear, deep voice and a long, pointed nose.
But Durrell got suspicious when the man just ordered a soda or maybe nothing at all.
Like sources kind of differ on this of like if this person even ordered anything.
And then the guy walked behind the counter into the back room, which was like really weird.
And Durrell even asked Eliza about it.
And that's when Eliza said he was just using the employee bathroom.
Eliza's mom also said she saw the guy, but said he was with another young man in the shop that night.
Durrell only saw one person, but other witness statements also talk about there being two suspicious men at the scene as well.
There was a married couple there that said they ordered yogurt at around 10.42 p.m., 40 minutes after Durrell, and they said that they saw two men sitting at a table.
One was heavier, one was thinner, and they were huddling close together with no food or drinks on their table.
The wife thought that the men might have been eavesdropping on Jennifer and Eliza who were chatting behind the counter as they kind of did their work.
