scream in the night on the east side of Cleveland there's a quaint little town called Shaker Heights it's a planned
community originally designed by the van Swearengen brothers to eccentric railroad tycoons over a hundred years
ago they built grand mansions and gardens and in the middle of the town is a roundabout with a classic movie
theater and coffee shop today Shaker Heights is an odd mix of upper-class Blue Bloods and severely
poor multi-generational families of immigrants who live on the edge of town where the big-city encroaches nowhere
else in Greater Cleveland is the racial and economic disparity of the region's so apparent Shaker Heights is the best
and worst of everything we have to offer but in its heart Shaker Heights is still
a small town it's a small town with a small Police Department used to small town problems and on September 14th 1990
the murder of a young woman tore this town apart this podcast revisits the murder of 16 year old Lisa Pruitt who
was stabbed 21 times and left for dead behind a mansion at the corner of Lee and South woodland we present to you the
mystery as it transpired from the point of view of the detectives who worked the
case each episode presents reenactments of conversations between witnesses and detectives they have been taken verbatim
from official court documents a classmate of Lisa's a young man named Kevin Young was ultimately charged with
her murder but was acquitted by a jury of his peers you will meet Kevin and other suspects
along the way as the police build their case against him and at some point you will have to
decide for yourself did Kevin Young get away with murder or did a group of high school teens influence the investigation
in order to protect one of their own the mystery begins just hours after the murder as police sit down with Lisa's
boyfriend Dan dry furred for his first formal interview this is detective Richard Mulaney of the
Shaker Heights Police Department conducting an interview with one Daniel are dry furred at the Shaker Heights
Police Department statement followed by interview Daniel's statement please I was discharged from the Cleveland Clinic
at maybe 2:00 p.m. or either that or I left the compound at 2:00 p.m. and that was the 13th of September I went home
put my stuff away and rode my bike to school that's where I saw Lisa I surprised her she didn't know I was
being discharged that day I walked around the school with her and walked her to her mom's car her mom was waiting
for her it must have been about 3:20 p.m. then I hung out with some friends until about 5:30 p.m. came home and ate
dinner my parents went oh my next-door neighbor cut my hair that's about when Kenny workman came over I don't know
what time at exactly but it was around 8 p.m. and then my parents came home we spent some time with them and then Lisa
stopped by after her flute lesson at about 9 p.m. with her father he was waiting in the driveway she
stayed for about five minutes and she expressed to me then something about that this was the best day in her life
because I got into the hospital and she got her driver's license and everything was just going right then she said or
asked if it was okay if she stopped by later I don't think she gave me a time then I was with Ken till probably 10:00
p.m. he left and then I went inside and talked to my mom for a while then Lisa called sometime between 10:00 after 9:00
and 10 after 10:00 and and said that if she came over it would be between 12:30 and 1:00 a.m. the 14th of September and
that she would just throw a rock on my window or something like that and abort 11:00 p.m. I watched the news and then
went to my room at exactly 11:30 2:00 p.m. I listened to some music and put away some more stuff from the hospital
my sister called at midnight I talked to her till 12:30 said goodnight to my parents went to my
room and that's when I heard screaming coming from outside near the corner of Lee and South Woodland my father said
that he looked at the clock and it was around 12:30 and we were concerned about the noise he noticed that I had shoes on
he asked me to go check it out so I went out to the front edge of the property and I saw nothing heard nothing so I
went back inside and suggested my father called the police but we both agreed that there was nobody out there so not
really nothing we could do then I went up to my room put some more stuff away I think and that's when I remembered that
Lisa said she might come over I don't exactly know why or when but it was at that point that I suspected it could
have been her that was screaming so I went back outside it must have been 12:45 a.m. maybe and I waited there for
a little bit I think then I was gonna like walk to where I might see her coming first I went to the edge of the
property then I went a little further I saw I saw her bike in the bushes I touched it just to pull it out and make
sure it was hers and when I saw that it was I ran back to my house and called Lisa's house nobody answered I got the
answering machine but I didn't leave a message and then I called 911 and told them that my girlfriend's bike was in
the bushes and I had heard someone screaming earlier so they said they'd send a car over I waited in my driveway
in the apron and I led the police officer to where the bike was I told them the bikes over here and I I assumed
he knew what had happened he asked if I had touched it and I told him yeah I asked him if I could tell my parents
what was happening he said that was probably a good idea so I went in I woke my father up and told him that I thought
the screaming had been Lisa and that her bike was in the bushes then there was I
don't know a bunch of stuff waiting around he talked to a police officer and eventually I went to sleep must have
been around 2:30 in the morning not long after that it seems my parents woke me up and told me that I had to come here
to make this statement so that's it before giving this statement were you advised of your constitutional rights
and did you fully understand them yeah have you been promised anything or threatened in any way to make this
statement no I haven't are you presently under the influence of any alcohol or drugs no in your statement you referred
to Lisa we give me her full name and spell it yeah it's Lisa Lee Prewitt Li si le e PR
u e TT to the best of your knowledge or Lisa's parents aware of the fact that Lisa was coming to visit you no they
weren't to the best of your knowledge were your parents aware Lisa was coming to visit you no they weren't in your
statement you refer to your next-door neighbour cutting your hair would you please give me her full name and spell
it yeah it was it was Kimberly lamps and Rathbone do you describe the clothing you were wearing at the time the police
arrived at your house I was wearing brown moccasins a black bathing suit with flowers on it and a t-shirt from a
Unitarian youth conference in Toledo showing you a white t-shirt brand name fruit of the Loom size large 42 to 44
with insignia on the front and purple and black leather stating spring conference 1988 Toledo Malmi Valley and
also containing the words the search for self and the initials why are you you on
the front is this the shirt that you're describing above that you're wearing yep
that's it were you wearing these clothes all day and if not will you describe when you change clothing and put on
other clothes I might have changed into the t-shirt when I was discharged from the hospital
I'm not sure I might have also put it on when I got up I did take the t-shirt off
when I was having my hair cut and put it back on afterwards I think I took it off
when I went to sleep at about 2:30 on the 14th and I put on a blue button up when the police arrived because I made
basically because I couldn't find the weight t-shirt which was sitting near the clothes shoot I was wearing a different
pair of shoes and I was wearing the moccasins up until the discharge and then I switched into a pair of Converse
All Stars until probably 12:30 I had taken the shoes off at some time during the night put my moccasins on to go
check that screaming outside could you describe the converse allstar shoes you were wearing yeah they were size 9 Chuck
Taylors tie-dyed in many different colors and their high tops could you describe what you remember of the
screams that you heard it sounded like someone a female was being forced to do something they didn't want to do it
lasted for at least 15 seconds but I can't say for sure when you heard the screams where were you in the house I
was in my room which is facing Lee Road it's on the second floor is a room on the north side of the south side of the
house it'd be on the north side when you heard the screams what exactly were you
doing I was just listening to a tape and putting some things away I had a lot of
bags of stuff from the hospital so I was just basically tidying up my room would
tape was it you were listening to it was areum's album document it was a live version recorded in Holland on October
12th 87 why are you listening to the tape were you wearing headphones no I wasn't when you heard the scream was
your window open or shut it was shot was there a storm window on the outside of your window and do you know if it was
down no not a storm window there was a screen a pane of glass and in a shade half pulled down with curtains over that
that were half closed normally it would have all been shut but I'd opened it on the day before I'd left
for the hospital was the door to your room leading to the hallway open or shut my door was open in a door leading to my
parents hallway was slightly open and my parents door would have been slightly open is there a bathroom between your
room and your parents room yeah but it's blocked off by a wall unit my room and locked on their side so that
I understand you correctly you could not see from your room into the bathroom or
into your parents room no I can't see anything not even the door after you heard this scream what action did you
take hi I went to my window pulled up the shade and looked out and that was when I heard my father say did you hear
that and I said yeah did you open the window oh yeah I opened the window you know I
closed it a couple minutes later though after opening the window what did you hear outside
well the screaming still continued so that I understand you correctly you heard the scream
your father yelled to use something to the effect did you hear that you opened the window and then you heard this
screaming continue yeah was there any pause in the screaming or was it continuous no it was it was a bunch of
short screens you stated previously that the scream sounded like it came from a female is that correct
yeah in your opinion was this scream from an older or younger female I I can't tell I don't know did you hear any
words crying out or was this just a scream no just no words just just a scream after the screaming stopped what
what action did you take well while the screaming was still going on I went downstairs and I with the front door to
see what I could see how far out the front door did you go out the door to the sidewalk right to the edge of our
property when you walked out the front door what route did you take to reach the sidewalk there's a sidewalk leading
from our door right to the edge of our property it's like a turn around type sidewalk it has two entrances to it did
you walk out onto the city sidewalk which runs parallel to the Lee Road at that time I only stopped on one block or
section of city sidewalk when you reach the front door as you're walking out into the yard
could you still hear the screaming no it was it stopped by then from the time the
screaming stopped to the time he reached the sidewalk on Lee Road in your opinion
approximately how much time passed from 30 seconds to 2 minutes maybe when you reach the sidewalk what did you observe
I didn't see or hear anything out of the ordinary was there any traffic on Lee Road at this time I don't think so so
that I understand you correctly you didn't see any traffic either north or southbound on lead road or anything east
or west bound on South woodland I only look south on Lee Road and didn't notice traffic and I don't remember looking at
South woodland not that I recall there was nobody walking on the sidewalks no nobody was your father with you at this
time and if not where was he my father was at the door at this time when you were on the sidewalk
were you wearing the clothes you described yes how long did you remain on the sidewalk and what did you do next I
stayed for about 10 seconds and then I walked back to the house told my father that I didn't see anything he and I went
up to his room where I don't know I I think that's where I suggested calling the police after you heard the scream
did you leave your room and go directly down the stairs and outside yeah after I
looked out the window and answered my father did you see your father in the hallway on your way down yeah I did did
you have any conversation with him at that point yeah he said oh good you're dressed will you go check and see what's
happening after you went back in your father's room you state that you suggested that the police be called did
either you or your father contact the police at this time no although my dad had his hand on his phone as if he was
going to contact them but then we decided that there was nothing we could do it had been almost 3 or 4 minutes
since the screaming was your mother awake at this time as she woke up during the screams did you
have any conversation with your mother at this time while you're talking in the room with your father I don't recall
what did you do then went to my room and cleaned it some more I guess you stated
you went outside a second time is that correct yeah it is how long was after you returned to your room maybe fifty
minutes maybe a bit less did did you advise either your father or your mother that you're going back outside No
so your knowledge or they awake at this time I'm not sure and I didn't check so I understand you correctly you went back
outside the second time because at the time you realize that Lisa Pruitt might be coming over to see you is that
correct yeah at that point did you think that the screams that you heard might possibly have been from Lisa Pruitt no I
didn't think that for a couple of minutes but then I thought it might have been her and when you went outside the
second time what were your Zak routes of travel and what actions did you take and also what
did you discover if anything I walked down her sidewalk to the edge of the property continued down towards South
woodland on the city sidewalk and then I saw Lisa's bicycle and then I ran home called her hosts got the answering
machine didn't leave a message and called 9-1-1 why did you call Lisa's house I was hoping that maybe it wasn't
her bicycle and that she'd been home and I felt that if it was her bicycle her parents should know describe the
bicycle you saw when you walked down the sidewalk in the Zach location in relation to the sidewalk in your
residence the bike was approximately thirty feet from my house and the bushes on the right-hand side of the sidewalk
and it was a purple girl's Miata when you say thirty feet from your house was that thirty feet south of your
property London yeah how far and the bushes was this bike located not very far the bushes are only about
four feet thick until you get into the yard it was not hanging over onto the sidewalk and I don't know how far into
the bushes but it was it was within reach was a frame of the bike parallel or perpendicular to the sidewalk it was
parallel did you ever see this bike before oh yeah it's it's Lisa's bike so you knew when you saw the bike right away
then that this was Lisa Pruitt spike no I thought it was but like I wasn't sure after you found the bike did you
physically touch it at all yeah I grabbed it just so I could get a closer look at it then what did he do I said I
stuffed it back in the bushes and ran to my house when you grab the bike to look
at it did you pull it out of the bushes I don't recall if the bike ever left the
bushes but it was in it was in arm's reach so I might have lifted it out of the bushes but I can't say for sure
after you examined the bike did you just let it drop or was it being supported by
the bushes the bushes were so thin that it was it was being like slightly supported so it did fall a little bit so
at that point you had an idea that this bike might be Lisa's is that after looking at it yeah did you call out for
Lisa or did you do anything further checking do any further checking of the area to see if you might possibly locate
her no was there anyone you observed walking in the area this time nobody what are your thoughts at this time I
was I guess scared that something had happened to Lisa so that's why I ran to the house and tried to call her on the
phone when he called Lisa's number which is what it was 2 8 3 7 3 7 3 the answering machine was on had that number
is that correct yeah did you listen to the whole message no once it started I hung up
to the best of your knowledge what did the portion of the message you listen to state knows it was something like you've
reached or sorry or not home but I could tell it was her mother's voice immediately after you hung up you called
911 yeah I did at that point you made your mother her father aware of your fears no why not I was too busy calling
and running around I wasn't I wasn't thinking straight it was just like a rush after you called the police what
did he do I ran to the apron and waited for them to arrive before the police arrived did you go back to where the
bike was did you check the area at all or call out and an effort to locate Lisa no have you ever had sexual intercourse
with Lisa Pruitt yeah when was the last time two months ago when he last saw Lisa Pruitt on the evening of September
13 1990 what was she wearing I only remember that she had a pair of faded jeans when was the last time you saw
Lisa Pruitt just after 9:00 on September 13th in my driveway when she got into her dad's car do you remember anything
else about her clothing the last time you saw her such as the top she was wearing or her shoes no I remember her
hair was down and she always wears a white ring on her finger and a chain around her neck that it has a metal nut
on it like this are you right or left-handed I'm right-handed to your knowledge did Lisa Pruitt D have sexual
relations with anyone else during the time that you had a relationship with her no any time since you have known
Lisa Pruitt did you strike her physically never after you went to the sidewalk to wait
for the police how long was it before they arrived must have been four minutes during those four minutes you leave the
area where you were standing for any reason no I just stood in one spot until the car arrived what did you tell the
first officer who arrived at your house I just I told him where the bike was and
he didn't ask many if any questions he wasn't very responsive after he told him where the bike was what did he do he
looked around the bushes and then walked back to the sidewalk in front of my house and told me to go inside and that
someone would be coming in to talk to me also he said it'd be a good idea for me
to wake my parents could you describe what you did next I ran into the house via the front lawn went to the backdoor
went up the stairs woke my father and told him that the screaming had been Lisa and that her bike was in the bushes
and that there were police outside after explaining this to your father what what
did you do next I took him outside through the front door because I believe he wanted to talk to the police officer
but they weren't in sight up I think I showed him where the bike was then at some point did you again talk to the
police officers at your house yeah about a half hour later I don't recall anything about the conversation except
that I noticed the police officer was smoking could you describe any physical contact you had with Lisa essentially a
release from the hospital I hugged her and kissed her when I got to school hugged her and walked her to her mom's
car at school she touched my hair after I had it cut and while at my house I hugged her and kissed her as she was
leaving to the best of your recollection how many times in the past has Lisa come
over to your house late at night twice maybe once can you describe when this was and and
how she got there this would have been four months ago and she got there on her bike to the best of your knowledge did
didn't either her parents or your parents know about her visit four months ago no they don't have you ever known
Leeds to carry anything for self-defence no do you believe that she had any fear
of being out on the streets late at night I I wouldn't know have you and Lisa had any disagreements or arguments
lately we only ever had one disagreement and and that was in mid-july do you have
any further knowledge of what happened to Lisa in the early morning hours of September 14 1990 oh well yeah one of
the officers told me that someone living between South woodland and parkland had
reported screams at what time did he become aware of the fact that Lisa was no longer alive well at 4:00 a.m. when
when I was informed that I was a suspect for an aggravated murder just to back up
for a minute what time did you first hear the scream approximately about 12:30 a.m. what time did you go back
outside approximately when you discovered the bike I saw a clock at 11:32 and then again in the early
morning hours but all the rest it's just estimates approximately how much time passed between the time when
you return to the house after checking the house the first time and you went out the second time and discover the
bike maybe 15 minutes I'm not sure but it might have been five or 20 at what point during the evening do you recall
that you changed from converse tennis shoes to moccasins I took the the converse off sometime after 10:00 and
switched in a democracy it's probably 12:30 what do you normally wear to bed sometimes underwear sometimes underwear
shorts sometimes underwear shorts and a t-shirt sometimes underwear on a t-shirt
if you had gone to school today what time would he have gotten up 7 a.m. on a school night what time do you normally
go to bed like couldn't really say because I haven't been to school in 4 months but I have to be in my room by
11:30 do you have do you ever carry any type of weapon no after the police arrived at your house and you went back
into the house were your parents up at that time no they weren't awake when you woke your father up what did he tell you
what did you tell him I just told him that the police roadside that the screaming had been Lisa and that her
bike was in the bushes and he asked some questions and it came up that Lisa had mentioned she wanted to come over at
that point how did you know that the screaming you had heard had come from Lisa I was only 99% sure and I deduced
that because I thought it was her bike and she wasn't home did you tell your father what you thought had happened to
Lisa I don't recall that I ever did how much time passed in your estimation between the time you woke your father to
tell him in the time that myself and other officers came into your bedroom an hour and a half two hours do you know of
anyone who had or might have had a serious disagreement with Lisa Pruitt which might have caused him to harm her
no would you be willing with your parents consent to submit to a polygraph examination and reference it to the
murder of Lisa Pruitt yeah I would did you kill Lisa Pruitt no I didn't do you know who killed Lisa Pruitt I don't
who else besides you and Lisa Pruitt knew that she was coming over to your house after 12:30 a.m. on September 14th
1990 we talked about it in front of Kenny workman described Kenny work men for me physically and where he lived
Kenny's about five ten slender kind of long blonde hair shaved on the sides and he looks
kind of scraggly and lives in an apartment near shaker square I've only seen it once he's white sixteen years
old lives with his mother his sister and his mother's boyfriend I think do you know his address or phone
number no he's better friends with my sister he used to come over a lot when my sister was home but she went off to
college and this is the first time I've seen him since then he just came over to see me and my
parents did did he have any conversation with or did he making comments about Lisa Pruitt no he didn't we were just
sitting on some patio furniture for about two minutes not really saying anything to one another we did say
something about we wanted to shave Lisa's hair she she likes her long hair so I was teasing her then I walked Lisa
to the car how do you know that Ken workman was aware Lisa was coming over well Lisa mentioned it in Kent in front
of Ken to your knowledge prior to yesterday did Ken workman know Lisa Pruitt or any type of or have any type
of relationship with her he just knew her through me and he would have seen her at school do you Ken workmen and did

detectives conducted was with Dan dry firts father Robert the interview began at 10:14 a.m. the morning after the
murder you will hear a break in the narrative about a minute in since page two of this
interview has been lost to time Daniel had been in treatment at the inpatient unit at the Cleveland Clinic
foundation since August 10 1990 he was discharged to my care at approximately 2:00 p.m. September 13 1990 at that time
I took him and his possessions to our home arriving there at approximately 2:30 p.m. after Dan took his belongings
to his room he left to visit Shaker Heights High School at approximately 3:00 p.m. at that time I stayed home had
lunch and rested he was expected home sometime between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. the purpose of his visit to the high
school was to get a scheduled walk through his classes meet teachers perhaps get his locker at approximately
5:00 p.m. my wife arrived home from work and shortly thereafter Dan came home he
told us that he'd not been able to get his schedule but that he had met at least one of his teachers and talked
with them and also he had a chance to meet several of his friends at the high school we had dinner dan my wife and I
at approximately 6:00 p.m. after dinner dan helped me load some logs in the back
of my van logs which were the result of a tree that was knocked down in last Thursday
storm my wife and I left the house at approximately 7:00 p.m. to deliver the logs to a friend of mine in Cleveland
Heights and to stop at several stores to pick up some things we needed the places
we stopped at were my friend's house on Cummings Road in Cleveland Heights followed by the Kok hardware at Severn
Center where purchased an electrical socket followed by Heights pet world at Mayfield in Lawrenceville where I
purchased fifty pounds of dog food and a bird feed cup for which I used my credit
card ending up at Bernie Shulman at Cedar Center where we spend forty one dollars and seven cents on selected
items paid for by cheque we left burnished Ullman's and proceeded home arriving there at approximately 9:00
p.m. when we pulled into our driveway we were greeted at the back yard gate by Dan and a friend of his by the name of
Ken I believe his name is workman Dan indicated that Ken had heard that Dan was home and wanted to visit since this
was a long-distance call church to my phone the starting in time of the call would be accurately recorded by the
phone company which is AT&T during that conversation my wife and I first spoke with Deborah with my wife speaking on
the phone in the adjacent den and me on the bedroom phone during the entire conversation I was sitting on the bed
and Dan was at the foot of the bed listening to the conversation at some point asked Deborah if she would like to
speak to Dan to which she responded affirmatively at that time Dan moved to the den adjacent to my bedroom and my
wife and I remained in the bedroom dan then spoke to my daughter alone until the end of that conversation which was
approximately 12:15 a.m. at that time Daniel went to his room and I began to read a book in my bed my wife was at
first reading and later turned over and went to sleep at approximately 12:30 a.m. I heard a shrill and lengthy scream
coming from the area in front of our house the head of my bed is against the Li Road side of the house and there's a
window adjacent the window was closed although the storm window was up although we're used to unusual sounds
and activities emanating from Li Road at all times of the day and night this scream was particularly distressing and
alarming I immediately called out to Daniel who was in his bedroom this was relatively
easy due to the fact that we had a connecting bathroom between our two room and the door my side of the bathroom was
open I said something to the effect of dan did you hear that to which he responded yes I then heard him moved to
his window facing Lee Road and heard the window being open by myself immediately
turned off the table lamp on my bedside table and lifted the panel on the venetian blind and looked out to Lee
Road I saw nothing unusual as I looked out I can't recall whether there was any vehicular traffic at the time but things
did seem quite quiet while I was looking at the window dan came into my bedroom my first inclination was to run outside
and see what happened realizing I was stark naked I quickly looked at Dan to determine if he was more fully clothed
than I seeing that he had on essentially the same clothes on that he had been wearing the last time I saw him I
particularly noted and even questioned him about whether he had anything on his feet I then noticed he was wearing a
pair of brown moccasins this was important to me because I knew he could get out quicker than me dan ran
downstairs to the front door while I quickly put on a pair of blue jogging pants and a t-shirt and a pair of
sandals a slip on sandals I quickly ran downstairs after Dan by the time I was on the first floor of the house Dan had
opened the front door and storm door which we kept locked and bolted and was proceeding down the steps and across the
lawn toward Lee Road I myself only went as far as our front steps at that time I
asked Dan if he saw anything he was looking in all directions but primarily towards South Woodland which is in fact
the direction that I thought the sounds were coming from dan told me he saw nothing unusual I don't know his exact
words but they indicated that there no unusual activity at the time nothing looked at a place to me either again the
general traffic pattern seemed quite as well at that time Dan and I returned to the house neither one of us left the
bounds of our property we locked the doors and returned to the upstairs bedroom my wife remained in bed we told
her what we'd seen or not seen there was a brief discussion about perhaps calling
the police I don't remember what my wife and son said but I remember saying or thinking that we'd seen nothing unusual
and that it probably wasn't necessary what was going through my mind at that time was that the screams may have been
coming from a passing car and that the person in distress had probably left the area I then went back to bed and began
to read my book my wife turned over and went back to sleep I fell asleep after reading less than a page of the book and
was woken by my son at that time he was telling me something about Lisa and a bicycle and the police I wasn't
understanding him well because I was just coming out of a fairly sound sleep but I quickly grasped that something
further was going on related to the scream I had heard earlier I still had on the clothes I put on to go and
investigate the scream so I immediately went downstairs with Dan to see what was
happening dan and I walked out to the front of the property down the driveway at which point I noticed two police cars
parked next to the curb there was no policeman in sight dan was telling me something about finding
Lisa's bicycle and calling the police I couldn't understand why Lisa's bicycle would be near our house I gradually
found out by questioning Dan that Lisa and he had communicated sometime that evening and that Lisa had indicated to
him that she wanted desperately to see him because she had not seen him much during the past month that he'd been in
the hospital they had apparently discussed the possibility that Lisa would come to our house that evening I asked Dan
how would he know that Lisa was coming and he mentioned something about her planning to throw a pebble at his window
dan was at that point obviously upset and stressed by what he'd seen he told me that he had found Lisa's bicycle in
the bushes of the house just to the south of ours that information coupled with the scream I had heard earlier
increased my own anxiety greatly I began to worry more about what might have happened at 12:30 a.m. I don't know the
exact time that all this occurred but it would be some time after the policeman had arrived and spoken with my son at
that point dan and I returned to her house dan sat and watched television on the first floor wall my wife and I tried
to reconstruct what had happened and to see if there was anything we could do to
help the officers at the scene were quite preoccupied with their work therefore there was not much that we
could do so we tried to keep out of their way at one point my wife and I saw what appeared to be civilians on our
tree lawn in embrace we immediately went out to see if there was anything we could do to help and immediately
encounter the parents of Lisa Perret at that time we asked them if they knew what was happening mr. Perret said it
looked as if there was a dead girl in the bushes he attempted to move in the direction of the bushes in question and
was restrained by an officer my wife and I offered to have the pets come into our
home until the police needed them they refused our offer having nothing else to do we went back into our house we came
out one more time and spoke to a uniformed officer asking if we could help or if he knew what had happened at
that point he said they were dealing with foul play we began to suspect the worst we went
back into the house and stayed there until the plainclothes police rang our Bell at which point we escorted them to
our dining room table and provided a statement which included some of the above by this time Daniel had gone to
his bedroom turned out the light and was asleep sometime prior to the arrival of
the plainclothes men her neighbor across the street mrs. hall telephonin spoke primarily to my wife in an attempt to
find out if we knew what had happened in the course of that conversation mrs. Hall used the word murder during part of
that conversation I listened in on our extension my wife mentioned something to mrs. Hall about Dan's girlfriend and her
bicycle but stated that we knew nothing about a murder this was in fact before the officer had used the term foul play
to us mrs. Hall was obviously praying for information and my wife tried to cut her off without discussing the matter
further until more facts were known mrs. Hall is something of a gossip and we didn't want to feed information to her
this is detective Richard Mulaney with Shaker Heights Police Department interviewing one Robert C Dreifort would
you give me your son's full name please Daniel Robert Dreifort is your son a student and if so where yes
Shaker Heights High School to your knowledge how long has your son known Lisa Pruitt
they've been classmates for at least a year as far as I know they've also been members of the marching band first long
as two years and I'm not sure if they knew each other in junior high school I'm only recently aware of her becoming
a special friend among the many friends that Dan has and I have heard him referred to her as
his girlfriend a few times over the past six months she's been a guest in her home on a couple occasions and I'm sure
they've met socially through mutual friends and acquaintances and share interests could you tell me who ken
workman is where he lives and his phone number if you have it Ken workman is a friend of my daughter and my son he
lives in an apartment on North Moreland let me have his address and phone number
at home but I don't know it offhand was there any friction between yourself and your son over his relationship with Lisa
Pruitt absolutely not in fact my wife and I had gone out of our way to invite Lisa to spend the entire afternoon with
us when Dan was visiting home last Sunday September 9th 1990 unfortunately I never got to know Lisa very well only
having met her a couple of occasions but she seemed like a nice girl and one that
I approved of Dan's spending this time with were you aware that Lisa Pruitt was to visit your son between 12:30 a.m. and
1:00 a.m. on the morning of September 14 1990 no the first time I had an inkling
of that was when Dan awoke me and announced that he had found the bicycle and the police were outside were you
aware at any time prior to the above incident that Lisa Pruitt may have visited your son under similar
circumstances no I had no inkling that may have happened when you and your wife were in your
bedroom just prior to hearing the scream you stated that your bedroom and your son's bed bedroom have a bathroom in
between and that the door leading from the bathroom to your bedroom was open was the door leading from the bathroom
to your son's bedroom open No so that I understand you correctly from where you're lying in your bed you could not
visually see your son in his room is that correct I could not see him when you first heard
the scream outside and you and your son went to investigate did your son come into your room higher to going
downstairs and outside yes when Dan went outside to investigate the first time did you follow him outside yes how far
did you go outside the house the first time I went to the front steps could you repeat for me how your son was dressed
at that time as near as I can recall he had on a pair of shorts a t-shirt and some brown moccasins was that a white
t-shirt I think it was white with some writing on it my recollection is that it was the one we later found on the
bookcase next to the clothes shoot showing a white t-shirt brand-name fruit of the Loom size large 42 to 44 with
writing on the front and purple and black ink containing the words spring conference 1988 Toledo Malmi Valley and
also containing the words the search of for self and the letters why are you you
is this the shirt that Dan was wearing that could very well have been it if not it is one very similar to it at the time
I was more interested in getting dressed myself and getting down stairs the clothing that I was most focused on with
Dan was the shoes because as I said I was concerned that one of us have shoes on so one of us could get outside
quickly dan has mainly t-shirts and if I were to have to swear to it I could not swear that was the one but
it was one like it from the time you came home from the store at approximately 9:00 p.m. on the evening
of September 13 1990 and so you saw your son wearing the brown markinson's did you observe him wearing any other shoes
on that evening I have to say that I wasn't aware of what he was wearing on his feet until
asked him if he had something on his feet and we were preparing to go downstairs prior to that I hadn't
noticed what he was wearing you have to remember that I was separate from him most of that period he was downstairs
and I was upstairs to your knowledge does your son Dan own a pair of Converse high-top tennis shoes which are
multicolored or tie-dyed he has shoes like that yeah you stated that when you and Dan went downstairs and outside the
first time to investigate the scream was the front door locked because I was concentrating on getting dressed as fast
as I could and rushing down the stairs and Dan was already dressed and going down head of
me I only know that Dan got out ahead of me I don't have a specific memory of whether I saw Dan unlocking the door in
any case and it does not take long to open our door when you first heard the scream and you're Gorn outside did you
have any thoughts as to what might have happened when I heard the scream number one I immediately associated it with
female voice in my mind number two it was intense and somewhat prolonged it may have passed through my mind that
that's another one of those rowdy kids or people in cars that we sometimes encounter on Lee Road but there was
enough urgency in the scream that it did make me want to run down and see what happened thinking what might have
happened it always occurs when you hear something like that is that somebody might be being attacked but then we've
heard noises like that on Lee Road where people clowning around or playing pranks
again there was enough urgency in this scream for me to want to see what was happening aside from that I guess a lot
of things raced through your mind at a time like that why you were going outside did you at any time call your
son to tell him not to go out before you went out or did you feel any apprehension about him going out there
alone they don't remember saying those specific words or words to that effect and any apprehension I may have had was
lessened by the fact that I myself was hot on his heels therefore I think I would not have had any apprehension any
more than for myself and that probably would have felt better with both of us out there than either one of us alone
when you heard the scream did did it seem to come from one location or did the sound of the scream seem to move at
all all I can recall is that it seemed to come generally from the front of the house and perhaps towards the south end
of the property but it can't be absolutely certain because it did happen kind of fast I can remember looking at
the window trying to pinpoint the location expecting to see cars or people and when I didn't see that my next
reaction was to quickly get down and find out what was happening I can't say if it was moving or not and your opinion
did the screams seem to come from a male or female and if you can't approximate aids as young or old I've already said
that it sounded like a female and I'm not sure how to equate pitch with age so I can't answer the second part of that
question all I can say is that it was rather high-pitched which probably makes me think female did you tell me if the
scream was a continuous scream or were there breaks in the screaming it was fairly continuous there may have been
one or more brief very instantaneous breaks but the overall impact of it was a prolonged more continuous from the
time you went back in the house after talking to the Pruitts and until myself and sergeant Reed rang your doorbell how
much time pass approximately I find that very difficult to answer because at the
time I was not looking at any clocks and my wife and I were to determine what it was we should be
doing to help and responding to that neighbors telephone call and as I may have forgotten to mention we made one or
two calls to the Cleveland Clinic nurse who had dealt with Dan in the hospital so in the midst of all that I was not
aware of the passage of time how many windows are in your bedroom to the face Lee Road and for others to face Lee road
to face South Woodland and to others face the back of the house when you heard the screams which window did you
look out the one that faces Lee Road which is the north of the two that face Lee road which is on my side of the bed
did you look out any other windows when you heard the scream no we have venetian
blinds first thing I did was turn off the light then Dan was right there is there
anything else that you wish to add to the statement I can't think of anything right now
the following day this is Saturday September 15th 1990 the police interviewed Dan dry Ford's mother Jeanne
at 10:38 a.m. I was at work until almost five o'clock p.m. so when I got home and
around five o'clock p.m. dan was not home his father said he had gone up to the school so I didn't see him until he
arrived home I'd say about 5:30 p.m. we ate dinner around 6:00 p.m. then my husband and I went out shopping and I
think it was close to 7:00 p.m. when we came back at about 9:00 p.m. maybe before 9:00 p.m.
dan was there with Ken it was shortly before 9:00 p.m. we were in the process of unloading the car Dan and Ken helping
us carry the bags in when Lisa walked in the open door which we had propped open
it was about 9:00 p.m. I spoke to her and asked if her father wanted to come in and she said he was listening to
something on the radio and would be happy to stay out in the driveway that she could only stay for five minutes Dan
took her out to the back patio I went and closed the are down shut the doors did a few things
and realized that more than five minutes have gone by so I shouted out the back door and told them that her father was
waiting I saw them go towards the driveway a few minutes later I looked out the driveway door and heard that
they were still there and again said something to them because I did not like it that her father was sitting there all
that time after that the phone rang many times her Daniel I answered most of the
calls and called Daniel to the phone he was sitting out on the patio with Ken workman before we left to go shopping
Daniel asked if it was alright if he cut his hair he wanted to spread some papers
out in front of the hall mirror and we said sure and he also found the Clipper set we have and was using those as best
he could when we came back home he showed us how Kim Rathbone our neighbor to the rear had showed him how to do a
better job on his haircut he had obtained prior permission so that she could come over while we were out of the
house one of the phone calls I took Ford and I recognized Lisa's voice but neither one of us acknowledged who we
were somewhere in there my husband went to bed and Daniel and I talked for a long while about the hospital experience
and who he had seen up at the high school that afternoon I also washed dishes while I was washing dishes Daniel
said he wanted to watch the news at 11 p.m. which he did Bob called down at that time and asked what we were doing
and I said I'm washing dishes and Dan is watching the news at about 11:15 p.m. I
went upstairs and at about 11:30 1:00 p.m. I called down and said Dan the news is over and he apparently shut the TV
off and had come upstairs after that he came into our bedroom several times once
I remember he went into our bathroom I just don't remember what he said or asked the other two times but I would
say it was at least three times that he popped in there at about midnight the phone rang and we don't believe in
answering the phone that late but we heard on the answering machine that it was our daughter
Bob stayed on the bedroom phone and I went into the adjoining office and talked on that phone we spoke for about
10 or 15 minutes and Dan came into the office and took the extension in the office and I went back in the bedroom
and closed the door and he spoke for an additional five minutes I went to bed I can't remember if I read but I usually
do turned off the light and started to go to sleep I heard my husband shout something
like what was that and I could hear in my mind the echo of a long scream I put it that way because I was mostly asleep
but I heard a long scream through all the rest of this I remained in the bed with my eyes closed
Bob sprang up turned off his light making the room dark so you can look out better as he looked out or just after
that Dan came into the room remarking that the room was dark or black I heard Bob say your dress go down and
see if you can see something or something like that and I heard him putting clothes on just about the time
he left the room he was right behind Dan I think I heard a vehicle pull away from
about in front of our house it was like - sounds like changing gears with a pause I was very aware of it because we
had just heard the scream it's the kind of thing I listen for when I hear something out of the ordinary I heard no
other traffic the next thing I remember is Bob coming back in the room and I think he asked me if I should call the
police and I said something like we're always calling them let someone else call them oh I said they're long gone
what's the use what's the point I fell asleep again the next thing I know is Dan is waking us up and I had a real
hard time waking up so that I only heard little pieces like the police are here Lisa's bicycle and I'm lying in bed with
my eyes closed didn't want to wake up Bob went downstairs somewhere in there I realized that all this wasn't going to
go away so I got up and threw on some clothes and went downstairs the rest is really muddled from this point on I just
remember snatches like snapshots sometimes we were downstairs sometimes we were upstairs at one point when we
were upstairs I saw a couple embraced on the sidewalk and I said Bob that must be
Lisa's parents and so Dan at that point had already gone to his room and closed the door so I had spoken to him before
that I don't remember what so he went down and talked to her parents at that point we were under the impression that
she had been abducted and we offered that they should come in or is there anything that we can do and mr. Pruit
got excited at some policeman and I thought we should go back in I got the feeling they might not be aware that we
were there another time I remember seeing the neighbor across the street in her nightgown
I looked out the window occasionally and I remember I kept thinking why are they
still here we have wooden slat blinds so there's no way to look out without physically
getting up and lifting the slats I didn't think this is where they should be that they should be out looking for
her at another point in time I remember saying to Bob they've got flashlights they're looking
around another point we again went downstairs and outside to again ask if there was anything we could do
we felt prior to that we wanted to leave the police alone to let them do what they had to do they told us someone
would be in in in a few minutes to take our statements so we went back inside and eventually someone did come shortly
after I saw mrs. hall and her neck down in front of her house she called on the telephone I'm not surprised she asked
what was happening who had been killed and I said to her what do you mean killed did the police tell you that and
she said something like no but there is a body or they found a body or something
like that I know she's the neighborhood gossip and I'm very careful with my she might have been leaping to conclusions I
told her we didn't know anything we didn't know about any body another thing she said was that the police wouldn't
tell her if the person was black or white male or female I told her that a girlfriend was going to visit Dan in
response to that statement and I told her to please not say anything to anybody I told her that much because she
had gone on at great length about hearing someone breaking branches and her dog barking and seemed quite upset
she had heard the screams also another reason I was hesitant about calling the police was a couple times Bob had gone
to help people who seemed to be in distress and it was a joke and they laughed at him and took off or swore at
him so I always tried to prevent him from putting himself out like that when you arrived home after shopping as you
stated shortly before 9:00 p.m. do you recall what your son Dan was wearing at that time one of his t-shirts
and a pair of shorts all his shorts are colorful and all his t-shirts are white with something on the front of them so
that's it would you say the shorts were light or dark in color I don't remember do you recall what type
of shoes he was wearing somewhere between the time of 5:30 p.m. and the time I went to bed he and I had a
conversation about the shoes he was wearing which were tennis shoes I can't pin it down any closer than that except
I know they weren't the holy ones at that point after we got home from shopping I don't know if I noticed
issues could you just grime Kym Rathbone where she lives and our relationship with Dan and your
family the Rathbone property adjoins ours at the rear line for about 50 feet she is a
classmate of Dan's at the high school is also in the band they have many fence talks last year she was his wake up
service in that she called every morning at 7:00 a.m. so they would have to come
to the phone and would help wake him up she was going with one of his longtime very good friends who is Bryan Keating
to your knowledge does or did Kim Rathbone have any type of romantic relationship with your son
definitely not they're just friends in the body of your statement you state that sometime after 9:00 p.m. after Lisa
Pruitt and her father had left that female whose voice she recognized as Lisa Pruitt caught on the telephone for
Dan do you know at approximately what time that was it's hard to tell he got back-to-back phone calls it's my
impression because I remember thinking she was just here that it was about 9:30 or 9:45 p.m. but I'm not sure after Dan
talked to Lisa during this phone call did he relate to you any content of the conversation no I don't think I was even
in the room I don't usually ask him about his phone calls are you aware of anyone else who had dated or had a
romantic type relationship with Lisa Pruitt no do you recall what time that Ken workman left your home on the evening of
September 13 1990 he was gone by 10:05 p.m. for sure because I looked out on the patio
I told Dan he had to be gone by 10:00 p.m. did you see Ken workman at any time later than that that evening no on the
night of September 13th and 1990 did you see Chris Jones or any other or any other of your son's friends at your
residence I don't think so I don't remember the scream that you stated you heard
when you're lying in bed could you tell me approximately what time that was at some point while I was lying there from
the time of the scream to the time Bob got back to the room I looked at the clock and it said 12:30 2:00 a.m. after
you heard the scream did your son Dan come into your room at any time yes can you approximate the time between
your hearing the scream and when you saw your son I heard him come into the room
and speak within a minute 45 seconds to a minute after the scream could you describe as best as you can
if the scream you heard was from a male or female young or old my impression was
that it was a female not child not elderly would you say that the scream was from someone in distress yes was the
scream you heard a continuous one or was it a series of shorter screams continuous could you estimate the time
from when you heard the scream until you heard what you stated was it was a vehicle pulling off from the area in
front of your house Dan and Bob were going down the stairs so it had to be roughly around one minute after from the
sound of the vehicle could you determine the direction it was traveling definitely south towards South Woodland
you stated that you heard two separate sounds as if this vehicle was changing gears is that correct yes I did state
that it was like room room it was a heavy sound I remember thinking what the hell was
that I hear a lot of traffic so I know a bus a motorcycle a sedan and it was definitely not one of those unless the
muffler was modified in some way could it have been a truck yes after you have woken and you are aware
that the police were on the scene and that something had obviously occurred what conversation did you have with your
son concerning this incident we spoke very little I could tell he was upset I asked
him some questions which he answered pretty much in mono syllables I could not specifically remember what I asked
him at the time as opposed to some later time just enough to understand that without our knowing it that he had
arranged with Lisa for her to come over I remember now that he said she had said
she would probably come over and would throw gravel or something in his window did Dan mention to you that he had found
the bike and the bushes and that it was Lisa Pruitt spike I'm not sure I'd already heard some of that and how I
found out those details I don't know when as I woke up there was Lisa Pruitt and bike and so when I heard
it I don't really remember do you recall Dan telling you that he believed Lisa Pruitt had been abducted
he never said that that was in my mind is there anything else that you wish to add to the
statement no it is now 36 hours after the murder of Lisa Pruitt police have completed their interviews with the
Dreifort family how much of their story do the detectives believe at this time it's hard to say opinion has no real
place in a serious investigation you are supposed to follow the evidence you listen to the witnesses you attempt to
see if their statements match up with the facts you know as of Saturday afternoon
though their pool of suspects is quite small isn't it but everything is about to change at 4:50 p.m. on Saturday
afternoon a good friend of Dan DRI firts goes to the police station with the story that will alter the course of this
investigation forever he believes he knows who killed Lisa Pruitt I know Dan from band I've known him since about
eighth grade we've been friends since then until now I've known Lisa since I was in 10th grade and I've known Kevin
since I was in ninth grade dan and Lisa have been going out for a couple months now
Kevin supposedly is like Lisa for a long time now most girls blow Kevin off because he seems kind of weird
arabica at Shaker square me and Shane McGee we were standing by Shane's car talking with Kevin and we were talking
about Dan Dreifort and Kevin Young said something like I'd hate to be Dan because he doesn't get any play and me
and Shane McGee both laughed Kevin was like why are you guys laughing and we were both like because Dan gets a lot of
play from girls and Kevin Young said well he's not getting any from Lisa Pruitt and I said yes he is he's
sleeping with her and Kevin just freaked he was like that [ __ ] that [ __ ] I hate him I'm going to
kill him [Music] [Music]
