Name of Witness: Marie Arnez

Witnesss statement:
While I was walking to work, I saw two teenage boys. They were standing near a black car. One
boy was wearing a brown jacket. I couldnt see his face because he was facing the car. The other
boy was wearing a black scarf. The scarf was covering part of his face. He was holding a knife.
I was certain that they were trying to break into the car. As I was looking for my cell phone to
call the police, the boys opened the door, got into the car, and started to drive away. I will never
forget what I saw next. A little boy was crossing the street when the car drove into him. The
driver didnt stop. He just drove away.

B With a partner, write and role-play the conversation that the detective had with the witness in
order to write her statement.
