and someone knocked on my door.

I came to the door to

answer the door.

I looked through the peephole.

There was someone at my door.

He was an African American,

probably 6'5" or taller

and he had what looked like

a handgun, you know,

holding it in a position

that I could see it.

It wasn't concealed, it was

clearly a threatening move.

I assumed it was Harvey.

[Okopnyi] And then a few days

later, Patrick said he was

coming to my house with Carlton.

I said, "Stay with me, we'll

hang out for my birthday

and then we'll go back.

I'll go with you,

we'll go to the police."

And then he said, "Hold on

a second," and he said,

"Hey, hey Carlton, are we

going to head down?"

And I heard Carlton

in the background.

I didn't really hear

audibly what he said.

He said, "Yeah, yeah,

we're on our way.

We're heading out there soon."

So, my primary function

was to make sure

that the players got where

they needed to be,

when they needed to be there.

And I would physically go to

each one of their classes

and make sure that they were

sitting in that chair.

So, I get to have a little

different relationship

with the players and it enabled

me to get a little closer

to some of them.

Friday the 13th, we realized

that Patrick was not in class,

but that he might have cut class

and took an early weekend.

Father's Day I didn't

get a call from Patrick

and if he didn't call,

there was always a card

for special occasions.

So, I just figured, "Okay, well,

maybe he'll call me Monday,"

and Monday came and went and

there was no phone call.

Monday, we grew

concerned and Tuesday,

we were on alert.

I was nervous and I couldn't

get a hold of him

and I called Carlton.

"Jess, I don't know

where Patrick is.

We were scared and we were

sleeping with the doors

propped closed and I just

took off to Maryland,

so I'm home and I don't

know where Patrick is.

He was going to stay."

And I had actually called

Carlton and Carlton said,

"Well, Mr. Brabazon,

I'm back in Maryland

and I had to get out of there.

Things were crazy at Baylor.

If I could talk

to you in person,

I'd tell you what was going on."

My next call was to Bliss.

"Have you seen Patrick?

I haven't talked to him,

no one knows where he's at."

Bliss just acted like,

you know, he's around.

He said, "Well, he's

probably with his friends."

[Bliss] I was obviously on

the hunt for finding out where

Patrick was, but since it was

summer and he was good friends

with Carlton, I thought the

two of them might have

gone someplace and just

not let anybody know.

I remember going by

Patrick's house,

looking for his vehicle

over the weekend.

I remember knocking on his door
