Buster, Steven Schwab found Nicole's dog on the corner of Bundy and Dorothy at 10:55 pm. H said the dog had blood on it's legs and paws, it had an expensive collar but no tags. When he crossed over to the east sde of Bundy with his dog to go home, the Akita followed him and would stop and bark at the houses that had walkways or pathways. ... On his way home, when he was near the Bundy/Gorham Curve, he said that that's where the dog barked the most. ... He had flagged down the cop Benjamin Jones, and Jones turned around and followed Schwab home. Outside near Schwab's place, he and the cop talked again, and Jones assured him he'd call Animal Control. After finding out that Animal Control would close at mid-night, and wouldn't come out to pick up the dog, Schwab and his wife decided to see if the dog would lead them to it's home. The dog resisted, and they wound up back in their courtyard where Schwab noted that the dog seemed dehydrated so he got it some water, and somewhere around here Boztepe got home, and this is when Boztepe and his wife agreed to keep the dog overnightand Schwab would retrieve it the next morning. ... Boztepe and his wife said they weren't comfortable keeping the dog, cause of the way it was acting, so they decided to walk it, and see if it would lead them to it's home, which it did. After Boztepe and Rassmussen saw Nicole lying on the walkway, they went across the street and rang Elsie the old lady's bell, and knocked on her door,but she was too scared to answer at that time of night, so they went to the house next door and the old man who lived there called the cops. ... Elsie had called the cops too. ... The couple who found the Nicole's body, said they saw a woman walking toward her car, and they asked her to phone 911. she said she would, but Boztepe said they didn't trust her to do it. ... They then got the old man next door to Elsie to call. ... There's nothing suspicious abou Schwab or this couple. When Schwab found the dog had blood on it, he surely didn't think that any murder had occured! ... There weren't an unusual number of people out walking dogs. ... Schwab, Heidstra, and whoever Karpf saw. That's three people on a June night in a neighborhood of mainly condos and homes where there usually are more dog owners. .... The unusual circumstances that Boztepe, Rassmussen and Schwab and his wife have in common, aside from that nights events, was Brad Roberts. .... These people and Heidstra, Elsie, Denise Pilnak and other timeline witnesses who happned to live in the neighborhood are not involved in some massive conspiracy. The most important thing to remember about some of these people is that Brad Roberts was the detective who questioned them and wrote out at least one known report. ... Brad Roberts did everything he could to help keep the timeline "flexible" in the way he "handled" people like Schwab and his wife, the couple who found Nicole, the old man, and who knows who else. .......
