Detective says care taken in not ‘retraumatizing’ E.M.
Ryan says she determined a followup interview with E.M., after first speaking with her on July 22, 2022, wasn’t needed because she had the 2018 police interviews on video and the Hockey Canada statement.
Ryan tells the lawyer “we had everything we needed from her and an interview would be retraumatizing.”
Ryan says she didn’t speak to E.M.’s co-workers who were with her at Jack’s bar on the night in question in June 2018 because she was told by E.M. that they didn’t have anything valuable to add, as they weren’t with her when she was consuming the majority of the drinks that night.
E.M. didn’t tell Ryan that she was texting with her co-worker while at the bar, Ryan says, adding that wouldn’t have added anything to her investigation.
Sayani suggests to Ryan that she could have determined E.M.’s level of sobriety or her efforts to “escape” McLeod at the bar. Ryan responds she wouldn’t have put much weight on that from the texts.
Sayani has now ended his questioning of the detective.
Both Lisa Carnelos, Dillon Dubé’s lawyer, and Julianna Greenspan, Cal Foote’s lawyer, say they have no questions for Ryan.
