5 min read

On a Tuesday night in late summer, a woman named Lorena drove out to a rural property with her husband Jeremy, who had been called to give an estimate for pressure washing and interior cleanup. The homeowner, Stephen Morphis, lived alone. The place was cluttered, dusty, and clearly hadn't seen a woman's touch in years. Lorena walked through the house, noted stacks of old papers, and left around 10 p.m. She thought nothing more of it—until a few days later, when detectives showed up at her door and told her that Stephen Morphis had been murdered, and that she and Jeremy were suspects.

What follows is the raw, unedited interrogation of Lorena by two detectives from major crimes. She is not under arrest, but she is in a windowless room, and the detectives are methodically peeling back the story she initially told—that she was just a wife along for the ride on a routine job estimate. Over the course of the interview, the detectives reveal that they already know far more than she is telling them, and they force her to confront the gap between what she claims to know and what she has actually seen, heard, and done.
