Items A6 through A9

Exhibit A6

Polaroid of Girl A in dark. Light source clearly flash from camera. Camera Angle is barely above eye-level of Girl A. Girl A is wearing a dirty white dress. Girl A's eyes and cheeks are red, as if from crying. Girl A is standing in front of a wooden chair somewhere in the woods. A small bush is visible on the right-hand side of the photo. Unclear blur at top of photo. Close examination of Girl A's neck shows red marks just under chin and upon ears. VGhpcyBwaG90byB3YXMgY2xlYXJseSB0YWtlbiBhZnRlciB0aGUgZXZlbnRzIG9mIEExMy4=

Exhibit A7

Polaroid of Girl A and Girl B posing in front of lake or body of water in day time. Camera is positioned above both Girl A and Girl B a distance away. On a hill? On a porch? Girl A is wearing a green one-piece with white stripes. Girl B is wearing a red, white, and blue two-piece with frills along waste band. Both girls are smiling and wet. Girl B has both fists in the air as if cheering with mouth open. Girl A is hugging girl B around waste. Both girl's are just at edge of water with feet sunk just under ankles in mud. Overcast above trees. No noticeable power-lines or man-made structures. No mountains behind trees.

On white part under picture on Polaroid is written “SHE WON” in black marker. Words in print capital letters with no punctuation. Pen used looks felt-tip. Same as on A10 through A14.

Notes about lake or body of water: If this were a beach, where's the sand? Height of trees on other side of means quite a distance to the other side. No clear rocks at edge of water. Girls feet in mud means soft sand. Even if it wasn't raining, they probably just got out of the water, and the ground is soft. Water doesn't move fast? No currents? Reservoir? Man made lake? Or just in calm part of water?

Exhibit A8

Polaroid of Girl A sitting at table in kitchen. Light blooms from window at the top-right of photo. Sunrise? Sunset? Camera is way above Girl A. Girl A wearing pink T-shirt with Cartoon woman in white armor printed on it. Girl A positioned on opposite side of round table from camera. Seating looks like rounded booth style chairs, like the ones in a restaurant. Stove barely visible through bloomed lighting at the top right. Girl A is smiling holding left hand at her head as if adjusting her hair and right hand on hip below table. Posing for photo. On left side of photo is a left-hand, palm open, thumb at 90 degrees as if framing Girl A before snapping picture. Pinky clearly missing indication Man A. Hair on back of hand thins out just below knuckles. Scar moves from left to right around the wrist and looks about two inches long. Scar is the kind that is a slightly raised dis-coloration of the skin.

Bottom of a doorway is visible to the right of table. Door open, but no floor on other side of doorway. Stairs? Wall below door looks gray. Concrete? Cinder-blocks? The Bloom from the window makes it hard to tell.

There is nothing on table. Table is clean, but not to a polish. Cover of table looks like marble laquor pattern with damage on outside edge of table, opposite Girl A, showing particle-board underneath.

Floor also clean. Looks like yellow plastic tile. Hard to tell because of that damned bloom.

Exhibit A9

Polaroid of girl standing face in corner of room. Same color and length of hair as Girl A, so it is assumed to be her. Camera is above Girl A with flash as only light source. Girl A is d2VhcmluZyBvbmx5IHdoaXRlIHBhbnRpZXMgd2l0aCBubyB0b3Au Feet are caked with mud and back of arms are dirty. Girl A is hanging her head with arms at side, feet straight. Red welts can be seen b24gc21hbGwgb2YgR2lybCBBJ3MgYmFjayBhbmQgdXBwZXIgdGhpZ2hzLg== Bruising on Girl A's left upper arm can be seen.

Carpet looks dull blue. Wall is sky blue wallpaper with cartoon clouds painted on. Baseboard molding is white with dust and dirt.

Under the picture, written in blue ballpoint pen, is the word “mine”. Writing in print lower case letters.

Note: Why didn't she take THIS photo to the police? V2FzIGl0IGJlY2F1c2UgR2lybCBBIGxvb2tzIGxpa2UgaGVyPyAgQ2xpZW50IHNheXMgc2hlIGhhcyBzaG93biBubyBzaWducyBvZiB0aGVzZSB3b3VuZHMgb24gaGVyIGJhY2sgb3IgdGhpZ2hzLg==
