1:14:10
I got a call one morning,
a lady here in Vidor...

1:14:13
had been hit over the head
with a rolling pin...

1:14:17
and the attacker thought
she'd been knocked unconscious...

1:14:20
when, in reality, she wasn't.
1:14:22
And she recognized the attacker
to be David Harris.

1:14:27
He voluntarily came to the police station.
1:14:31
I told him,
"David, this girl knows who you are.

1:14:34
"I don't even have to tell you
I know the truth.

1:14:36
"You know I know the truth this time."
1:14:38
He said, "I was wrong.
I smoked marijuana, I was drinking.

1:14:43
"I don't know what got over me
but something just came over me."

1:14:46
But he forgot to mention one thing,
that he was only wearing underwear.

1:14:52
I felt as though
the attack was sexually oriented.

1:14:55
He never wanted to admit that...
1:14:57
and, as I recall,
he never really finally admitted it.

1:15:00
He'd just get to where he wouldn't deny it.
1:15:02
He posted his bond and went to Germany.
1:15:06
We had a crime
with basically the same M.O. As his...

1:15:09
and so it led me to want to check
and see if he was in town.

1:15:13
I contacted the Worldwide Military Locator...
1:15:16
to see if, through the military,
I could locate him.

1:15:19
I did, and found out
that he was in prison at the time.

1:15:23
He really didn't remember what happened.
1:15:24
He said he woke up in the stockade...
1:15:27
and he'd been told that he beat up
one of his ranking officers.

1:15:30
We had another occasion
to have a crime that fit his M.O. A lot...

1:15:34
so I started looking for him again,
and this time...

1:15:37
I found him in prison in California.
1:15:39
So I realized again that unfortunately,
he hadn't straightened up.

1:15:42
He was still having a lot of problems.
1:15:52
I was 16 years old.
1:15:55
I really didn't have no real dealings
with the court systems, etc.
