Sarah Brody, a witness in Ferrer case describes what she heard when she was awakened by loud male voices that appeared to be in an argument. She heard two males voices. One saying, "Fuck you and your fat girlfriend," and one saying "I am still following you"

ADA Kelly Neel was representing the People today at the preliminary hearing which did not start until 2:30 p.m. today once Judge Christopher Wilson returned from court. Marek Reavis is representing Juan Joseph Ferrer, Benjamin Okin is the attorney for Sophie Buttercup Rocheleau  and Jennifer Dixon is the attorney for Nicholas Benjamin Stoiber. were present.

Stoiber and Rocheleau sat quietly next to their attorneys but Ferrer would whisper to Mr. Reavis during the detectives testimony, at one point becoming animated.

Ms. Neel's first witness was Arcata Police Department's Sergeant Todd Dockweiler. Sgt. Dockweiler's testimony was about how he arrived on the scene, how they found witnesses,  how they canvassed the area and description of Mr. Anderson-Jordet's initial injuries.

Mr. Reavis, started his  cross about a half an hour before the end of the day.

Through his cross, Mr. Reavis was able to raise doubts about cuts on Mr. Anderson-Jordet and if some had occurred when law enforcement tore his t shirt to attach medical apparatus. Mr. Reavis also got Detective Dockweiler to admit that several witnesses described Anderson-Jordet's  problems with alcohol; that the house manager was not going to renew his lease because of his beligerent interaction with other residents in the Crew house where he lived; that  his ex girlfriend did not want to be around "drunk Doug"; and that a few days ago he had spoken to a co-worker about purchasing black tar heroin and the fact that an incident happened earlier that made one of Anderson's Jordet's acquaintances uncomfortable. It had to do with this acquaintance and Anderson-Jordet being mistaken for being a gay couple by an unknown starnger.

Tomorrow, Mr. Okin and Ms. Dixon will start with their cross of Detective. The hearing will start at 9. a. and end at lunch and then resume at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Judge Wilson started the hearing by reading the charges against the three defendants.

Detective Dockweiler said he was called about a "possible homicide" around 1:30 a.m. on November 25, 2013. He met with Detective Ortega and evidence technician Lea Christian and assignments were given after a briefing. The crime scene was the intersection of "H street between 11th and 12th," said Detective Dockweiler. He said he did not recall when he arrived at the scene.

That refrain is something we heard over and over again when asked about certain details and he also had to refer several times to his report to "refresh his recollection."

When he got there, the area had already been cordoned off with tape and "the victim was no longer there, " he said. "There was some medical waste." Medical and fire personnel had left but patrol officers who first responded were still on the scene. He said the street lights and police vehicle lights provide "good illumination."

"Some blood droplets and a shoe and a pair of eyeglasses" were at the crime scene. There were two locations of the blood droplets. Detective Dockweiler said that the watch commander told him the body had been lying in the eastbound lane of H street with the victim on his back.

Dockweiler assisted the evidence technician in collecting and measuring evidence and then went to Mad River Hospital to view the victim's body. "The victim was lying in the emergency room. I observed a puncture wound to the center of the chest. At that time there were no injuries readily visible," said Detective Dockweiler. "At that time I did not notice injuries on the victim's hand. I did observe small amount of blood on one hand." Due to medical apparatus attached to conduct an autopsy, the detective said "it was hard to get a good inspection."

Then he coordinated with the Coroner and evidence techician to preserve evidence and that he did not recall when he "determined the identity of the victim."

Detective Dockweiler said he "examined the victim's cell phone and that there were a lot of text messages to what appeared to be a female." Later he contacted Virginia Jimenez at her residence, which is where Douglas Anderson-Jordet, the victim also lived. Detective Dockweiler said it was known as the Crew house, a boarding house in Arcata.

Jimenez told Detective Dockweiler that she had been formerly "romantically involved" with Anderson-Jordet but now they were just friends. "They both had been drinking and she left because she was concerned an incident might happen."

At some point that night Jimenez checked on Anderson-Jordet because his door was ajar but he was not home. There had been no contact between the two after 10 p.m. Jimenez had texted Anderson-Jordet but had no response from him.

Detective Dockweiler contacted the house manager of the Crew house. She indicated that she had seen Anderson-Jordet at Everett's, which is located at 9th and H, on the Arcata Plaza that night. She had seen Anderson-Jordet with "two men he knew"; Chris Smith and Ron Dale.

Detective Dockweiler talked with both of them and they told him that Anderson-Jordet was not "overly intoxicated or hostile"

The first call to dispatch was from a Matthew Mansur at 1:24 a.m. who said he saw a man passed out and "making noises that he interpreted as snoring" said Detective Dockweiler. Second call was from a Jeff Sellers who was out collecting recyclables and said he saw Anderson-Jordet lying in the roadway and was bleeding.

No one saw anyone fleeing from the scene. They canvassed the area and found an "ear witness", Sarah Brody. She lives on the southwest corner of 12th and H. The detective spoke with her, "a couple of days after the incident. She did not know anybody had been killed. She did know there had been an incident," he said.

"She was awakened, she heard people out on the street," said Detective Dockweiler. "She heard men involved in an argument. One voice that yelled, 'Fuck you and your fat girlfriend' and a voice say "I am still following you."

At the autopsy, the cause of death was a stab wound to the heart. The detective further described the wounds: a small puncture directly above and to the side of the stab wound in the chest, cut between the thumb and forefinger and a laceration on the upper lip, which was later surmised to be "where teeth penetrated lip."

An injury that the detective personally observed was a distortion to the nose.

The detective then described that the police department had obtained video from ReMax Realty and Humboldt Store and on a diagram he had previously drawn of the crime scene and surrounding areas, he indicated the locations.

In one of the videos, he said there were two white males and a a white female walking on one side of the street and Anderson-Jordet walking on the other side, shortly following the three. When pictures were shown, the female was identified as Rocheleau. Ferrer was identified from her facebook page.

Rocheleau was interviewed at her residence and then at the Arcata Police Department. Initially she denied any knowledge of Anderson-Jordet, said she was with Ferrer and Stoiber. When the detectives told her they had video surveilance, she "became uncomfortable and refused to talk further." Later on she contacted them and agreed to speak to them. That led to them contacting Stoiber and Ferrer.

Dockweiler said he was "in and out" and only watched parts of Rocheleau's interview with other detectives. He was not present for Stoiber and Ferrer's interview. No murder weapon was found.

On December 3, Dockweiler spoke with a Elizabeth Stavikygros at the Humboldt Brewery. She said she had seen Anderson-Jordet a week earlier at Everett's. Some man was "aggressive in approaching females" and she told the detective that Anderson-Jordet attempted to defend the women and "there was an altercation."

Mr. Reavis then cross-examined Detective Dockweiler. He asked him about the accuracy of the time-stamps on the video. He asked him about the time when the three defendants and Anderson-Jordet were walking on the video and if there was interaction between them and the Detective responded, "No."

Mr. Reavis raised the issue that when the t-shirt that had been cut off Anderson-Jordet to attach medical devices, did the officer use a knife or shears attempting and the Detective was unable to say what instrument was used to remove the shirt.

Mr. Reavis asked about other text messages on Anderson-Jordet's phone and specifically about texts relating to a conversation between Anderson-Jordet and a co-worker Dillon Davis in which Anderson-Jordet asked Davis about purchasing black tar heroin.

"Did you follow up on that?" Mr. Reavis asked and the detective answered, "No."

Mr. Reavis was able to get the detective to admit that he had been told Anderson-Jordet "drank heavily". On the day before the stabbing, when Jimenez and Anderson-Jordet had lunch at Goodman winery and then according to the detective parted company, that in fact, Jimenez had told him that Anderson-Jordet and she spent time at the Crew house until 8:30 and that Anderson-Jordet had consumed "5 to 6 beers."

Mr. Reavis asked Detective Dockweiler to describe how Anderson-Jordet seemed to be walking on the video, Detective Dockweiler said, "unsteady." Mr. Reavis then reminded Detective Dockweiler that APD Detective Ortega had described it as "staggering."

Mr. Reavis brought up testimony from a bartender at Everett's that Anderson-Jordet had "4 pints and 2 shots" and that the house manager was not going to renew Anderson-Jordet's lease because "he was belligerent when he drank and had altercations with residents." The detective did not challenge or deny these claims by Mr. Reavis.

Mr. Reavis then brought up an acquaintance of Anderson-Jordet's, Vance and said that Vance becamne uncomfortable and left the bar because a man came up to Anderson-Jordet and him and insinuated that they were a gay couple.

Mr. Reavis said that when Brody was awakened by male voices that at first the voices were angry and later she described them as "enraged."
