“What did you personally see or hear?”

That question matters in a witness interview. So do the follow-ups:

Where were you?
When did this happen?
How do you remember the time?
Which details did you learn from someone else?

A useful statement makes those distinctions clear. It also leaves room for someone to say, “I don’t remember.”

For attorneys and businesses reviewing an incident, those details help show what can be checked against records and where questions remain.

Careful listening and accurate documentation take work. They’re an important part of understanding what happened.

When the facts are scattered across emails, records and conversations, start with a timeline.

For each entry, write down:
- What happened
- When it happened
- Where that information came from
- What still needs to be checked

Keep the source beside the entry. If the date is uncertain, say so. If two records disagree, keep both versions visible.

That gives an attorney or business owner something useful to review. It also makes the next questions easier to see.

You don’t need every answer before organizing what you have. Leave room for the information that comes next.

For this first Throwback Thursday, I’m looking back at Michelle Murphy’s case.

I joined her investigative team in 2013, working with attorneys Richard and Sharisse O’Carroll. My work included reviewing case files and interviewing witnesses.

Michelle spent nearly 20 years in prison for a crime she didn’t commit. Her conviction was vacated in May 2014. That September, the charge was dismissed with prejudice, and Judge William Kellough declared her innocent. DNA testing and renewed examination of the evidence helped clear her name.

Today, Michelle works with us at Cullen Investigations.

Her case is a reminder of why original records matter and why unanswered questions deserve follow-up, even after a case has gone to trial.

What would you like to understand better about revisiting an old case? Please keep private case details out of the comments.

In 2014, Michelle Murphy was exonerated of the murder of her 15-month-old son in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She had served 20 years in prison.
