Zitzer advised Detective Crocker when she arrived at Watson's Children's Shelter to drive her to First Step she told CPS Zitzer she was able to get seconds at mealtimes and she wanted to be back for the 3 pm snack. CPS Zitzer thought Jane Doe was obsessed with food. 7, Jane Doe disclosed during the forensic interview that she is locked in her bedroom most hours of the day with the exception of mealtimes. She described mealtimes as getting plain, non-sugary, cereal for breakfast, A "plain" sandwich for lunch which was only bread and lunch meat and then she was allowed out of her bedroom again for dinner which was another sandwich or sometimes leftovers from the night before. Jane Doe said her brother was allowed to eat "normal" food and got more food than she did on 2 regular basis. She deseribed the family would regularly go to Dairy Queen and get ice cream, with the exception of Jane Doe, who sat next to her brother while he ate his. When he would get ice cream at home she would usually be in her bedroom but was almost never allowed to have "sweets". 8. Jane Doe said her bedroom was locked due to her parent's not trusting her to not "steal" their food and to not runaway. Jane Doe said when her parents weren't looking she used to take their food and hide it in her closet which is why she is now locked in her bedroom all day and the closet is locked, She said she would steal because she was hungry. There is an alarm at the top of the door that sounds like a siren if she were to open the door when she was not supposed to. Jane Doc described that she was locked in her bedroom all the time during the day but her brother, was only locked in at night. ‘When she had to use the restroom she would scream and yell to be let out. If her mom or dad didn't hear her she would use an orange Halloween bucket with cats on it and then dump it in the toilet later. 9. In addition to being locked in her bedroom all day long, there is a surveillance camera in Jane Doe and her brother's bedrooms so her parent's can see what they are doing on their cell phone. There is duct tape in both the children's bedrooms that acts as a barrier for how far the children can go, if they go beyond the duct tape then they are off camera which is against the rules in their home. 10, Jame Doe was asked what type of things she gets in trouble for in the home, Jane Doe said if she doesn't "cat right" they will take her food away. When asked what would be considered eating incorrectly she said if she lets milk drool out of her mouth while eating cereal, takes too big of bites, or doesn’t hold the spoon right they will take her food away. Angie and Malcolm replaced her normal silverware with baby spoons so she would eat correctly. Even if she was not done eating and her parents were, she would have to stop eating her food. This was upsetting to her because she had to take smaller bites due to the smaller spoon. 11, Jane Doe said her parent's would "duct tape" her to the bed at night to keep her from running away and also fo ensure she was sleeping on her back. Her parent's insisted she sleep on her back but could not articulate why that was the case. 12, Jane Doe said her mom, "Angie", would get upset at Jane Doe when she would not stop screaming and would throw her on the ground sometimes causing her to "bonk" her head. One time Angie broke a plastic tote from when she threw Jane Doe on the ground. ‘Fane Doe told CPS Zitzer on the day the children were removed that the bruises on her back were from Angie "slamming" Jane Doe against the closet. She described a similar incident at First STEP during her forensic interview but said she hit her head, which caused her pain. 13, On July 26, 2018 at approximately 17:30 hours, Detective Crocker and Detective Adams interviewed Malcolm Cobler at the police station in interview room 2, During this “Application for Search Warrant (Malcom Cobler & Page3 of § ‘Angela Cobler Home Surveillance Sy)
