Something's off here.

And then Laverne kind of took a deep breath and she looked at Ingram and she said,

I was lying.

You're right.

My story about planting the evidence, that was a lie.

But she went on to say that the reason she had lied was because she had ultimately been too afraid that if the police knew the whole story that she would get in trouble too.

Then Laverne explained what really happened to Tanya.

On the night that Tanya was murdered, Laverne said John called her that night and he was sort of frantic.

And he said to her that he was in trouble and that she needed to meet him at the bar that he was at and to bring along a shower curtain.

And so Laverne said, because she was very scared of John and, you know, was just fearful of asking any questions, she had just done what he said.

And she got the shower curtain and she had driven out there.

And she found John in a parking lot standing over a body.

It was Tanya.

And she was just lying there on the ground, motionless.

Laverne said she was horrified and didn't know what to do.

So she just...

helped, she literally helped John put Tanya's body into her car, Laverne's car, wrapped her up in that curtain she'd brought along, and then together they dumped her body at a spot along the highway.

But as Laverne continued to talk, her story suddenly got much darker because she actually eventually confessed that actually Tanya had not been dead when she had first arrived, but instead she was still clinging to life.

And at John's request...

Laverne had tied rope around Tanya's neck and held it tight while John sexually assaulted her.
