Richard Falk Police Interview
Q. You okay to continue?
A. Yes, thank you.
Q. You seem very upset about what’s happened to Ms. Callahan.
A. Of course I’m upset. She was my friend and she was murdered.
Q. And you cared about her?
A. I don’t know what you’re trying to imply, or if you’re implying anything, but—of course I cared about Frankie Callahan. As I said, we were friends. Friends who went through something traumatic together. To think that something has also now happened to her—yes, it’s very upsetting.
Q. Are you okay to continue?
A. Can you tell me why you came to our apartment? Why you’re going through our things? I really don’t understand.
Q. Maybe you can tell me first where you were at 11:00 p.m. on the night of September 10th?
A. I was working late. I often do. Then I went for a drink. A client was supposed to meet me, but he canceled, so I went alone. Then I went back to the office to finish up a few things.
Q. What time was that?
A. I don’t know—10:00 p.m., maybe?
Q. And then you went home?
A. Then I fell asleep on the couch in my office. After I woke up, I went home.
Q. And what time was that?
A. I think around 2:00 a.m. I’m not exactly sure. I think I got home at around 2:45 a.m.
Q. Would it surprise you to hear that we have an eyewitness who puts you leaving Frankie Callahan’s apartment at around 2:30 a.m.—shortly after the time of her death?
A. That would surprise me, yes. It’s simply not true.
