page two and it looks like on July 11th and I'll I'll represent to you where it says and it's down at number 31 to make it easier where there is two your number appears first under the column do you see the column originating number answer yes question then your number at line 31 is redacted 1787 correct answer yes question and where it says and there's a number underneath for F that means it was forwarded as I understand it and there was a voicemail left do you have any reason to disagree with that answer no question would you leave voicemail messages for brian answer yes question okay turn to page 15 please I'm sorry page 16 at line 262 there was a phone call placed from you to a number redacted 903 I'm sorry there was a phone call that originated at redacted 7732 was that brian's

on august 27th answer I don't even know what day that is what is that date I don't know question well that's the date that the FBI believes that gabby was murdered do you know why you would have

what you told him answer i told him that brian called me he was frantic i didn't know what to do and this is what he said at first i thought i don't know i don't see him or speak to him that often so i told him he didn't even know who gabby was question so you don't know who or speak to who that often answer steven question okay answer yes so i explained who gabby was and everything and brian was on a trip and he called me i called him and this is what he told me you know that's it so that's what i told him question did you tell attorney bertilino that you were concerned that gabby was dead answer after the conversation of how frantic he was and you know it was something i thought we had to consider question okay so on august 29th of 2021 your son told you that gabby was gone and you had a belief that she might be dead answer i didn't know question okay but you had a belief that she might be dead correct answer i didn't believe that no question you didn't so what else would gone mean and that your son was so frantic what other possibilities or other interpretations could there be of that answer i don't know i had no idea but you know i can guess a million things for you well did you guess one of them was that she just walked away answer yes a possibility question and if she to that he's interrupted by uh mr laundry she just left but that's what that's great question but he didn't say she left did he answer he said she was gone question okay and if she just left and walked away do you think he would have needed an attorney for that answer it was it was a situation of how frantic he was i had no idea what to think he asked me to get a lawyer and i couldn't get any more information from him question okay answer and i did what he asked question and he didn't say she walked away right answer not that i know of i don't remember but i don't think he did question he didn't say she was kidnapped by anyone did he answer no question what did attorney Bertolino say to you answer well he said well then we did discuss that you know maybe maybe something seriously happened you know we would act accordingly to keep everything we don't know that's what that's so that's

would have wanted to know if something happened to her correct answer yes question okay did you consider calling our parents answer no question why you never even considered calling our parents answer
