STATEMENT OF ELENA A. STANESCU Case 13-54055 Page 1 Transcript of JEB-2A D = Detective James BRACK S = Elena A. STANESCU D: Okay. This is Detective BRACK with the Bellevue Police Department. It is currently

November 5TH AT 10:43 a.m. by my watch. I’m here at the Hampton Greens Apartment leasing office. The address is approximately 4505 – 148th Avenue NE. I’m here with the property manager, Elena A. STANESCU.

Ms. STANESCU, do I have permission to record our conversation? S: Yes, you do. D: Can you spell your last name for me and state your date of birth. S: S-T-A-N-E-S-C-U. Birthday is March 1st, 1983. D: Okay. And how long have you been a property manager here at Hampton Greens? S: Approximately eight months. D: And how many, how much experience, work experience do you have in property

management? S: Ten years. D: Okay. So, we’re here, I’m interviewing you regarding a fire investigation at Unit KK-202.

Do you know the name, as best you can, of the individual that resides in KK-202? S: Yes. It’s Daniel STRYCHARSKE. D: Okay. And I’ll spell the last name. It’s S-T-R-Y-C-H-A-R-S-K-E. And approximately how

long has he been a tenant there? S: Since April of this year, 2013. D: Okay. Is there anybody else formally on the lease or formally a tenant in that unit? S: No. D: Okay. Now, you mentioned, when I was speaking with you earlier, about an incident when

a window contractor named Justine EDDY or EIDE, E-I-D-E, went into Unit KK-202 on or about October 17th of this year to perform some work, and there’s Mr. EDDY or EIDE shared with you some observations that raised concern. Can you please share with me what you heard or what he shared with you regarding Unit KK-202.

S: Yes. He reported that he entered the home approximately in the morning time to begin his

window installation work. When he entered the home, not only did he smell a strong odor of marijuana but he also described to see what was a hash oil operation in which he just

Page 51: Bellevue Police Department report 13-54055 pt. 6

Case Number: 2013-00054055. ORI: WA0170200.

STATEMENT OF ELENA A. STANESCU Case 13-54055 Page 2 Transcript of JEB-2A

described that there were contraptions, chemicals, things that he just happened to be familiar with due to a friend of his recently having made hash oil and harming himself. So, he reported this right away to our maintenance staff. And then, shortly after to myself as he was concerned about the safety of just, not only himself but everyone in the building as well.

D: You mentioned that he saw some items that he believed were consistent with the hash oil

operation ‘cause he had some personal experience or a friend did with that type of operation?

S: Yes. D: Did he mention anything else, any smells or odors? S: Just the odor of, strong, strong odor of marijuana. D: Okay. And then, what did you do with this information? S: So, I immediately reached out to our legal counsel, Parker (sp?) and Redford, explained to

them what we were notified of. They immediately said we need to contact the police right away and report it, and that is what I did. I, we called the 911, and an officer came out pretty quickly, Officer SLUSSER. He first went to the apartment, and then, came into the office and reported what he had found.

D: Okay. And you’re referencing incident 13-50722 on October 17th, at approximately

1446 Hrs. when Officer SLUSSER responded. And can you summarize or share with me what Officer SLUSSER did and how he handled the situation and the information that he shared with you.

S: Sure, yeah. He came into the office and he reported that he’d been to Apartment Number

KK-202. He said upon arriving, there were three men there, none of which were the resident, Daniel. He said that he spoke to mainly one gentleman which he did not give me the name of. He said that this gentleman claimed to be a cardholder which he said he did verify, a medical marijuana cardholder. The person basically went on to tell the officer that they were not cooking hash oil that day but admitted to having done it in the past. And he also told the officer that he had some sort of operation or growing operation in, somewhere in White Center. The officer said he proceeded to tell him that he needs to make his has oil there and not on private property and that it is against the lease terms of Hampton Greens and, and the management company to be making hash oil inside of an apartment. They, one thing to add, they did throw in there that they felt that the management office was trying to retaliate against them because they had reported service request issues and things like that, which of course the officer said, “Well, it sounds like this is purely a drug issue. It can be smelled outside. I can smell it on myself right now.” The officer did report he didn’t actually see an operation or any drugs at the time when he went to the apartment, so he basically told them they needed to make sure they didn’t do it again, and he left, and he came into my office and told me that. I asked him basically what my next steps were, what I could do, what my rights were as a property manager, as obviously we were concerned about this. He seemed a little uncomfortable with

Page 52: Bellevue Police Department report 13-54055 pt. 6

Case Number: 2013-00054055. ORI: WA0170200.

STATEMENT OF ELENA A. STANESCU Case 13-54055 Page 3 Transcript of JEB-2A

answering those questions. He said he was new to the force as well to the State of Washington and he knew that there were different laws out here. He gave me an incident number, and then, said that he would be in contact with me in the next day or two after he spoke to a supervisor just to confirm some laws and policies and whatnot. So, and from then on, I did not hear from him.

D: Okay. Were you waiting to hear from him or did you have the understanding that there’d

be some follow-through and that just hadn’t taken place yet? S: Both really. So, he said he would follow up with me but, really, that very next day,

obviously, I started getting in contact with my legal counsel and, obviously, the issue came up of, well, we’re dealing with cardholders and was this truly illegal in the State of Washington or was it a Federal? You know, there’s all sorts of issues with that. So, basically, what our legal counsel advised is that we need to get a copy of the incident report and/or we need the officer to let us know if he was willing to testify in court since he was the one that witnessed everything and experienced it all. So, I immediately began emailing him, calling him. His voicemail was not set up, so I wasn’t able to leave him a message ever. He did end up calling me a few days later to a week later and leaving a message when no one was in the office. I did call him back again, was not able to leave a message or get a hold of him. On several occasions, not only emailed him but called his main office and asked to speak to him, and they each time took, took messages, my name, my number, what I needed to speak to him about, and to this day, I have not heard back from him.

D: Okay. So, is it fair to say that, on your end, you were still working your authority with what

you can or can’t do regarding the hash lab as Mr. EIDE reported it to you? So, you were still working on things on your end up to this day when this other fire broke out, is that…

S: Yes, hundred percent. D: Oh, okay. S: Absolutely. D: Fair enough. Okay. Anything else you want to say regarding the incident that was

reported to Officer SLUSSER on the 17th? S: Uh, no. I don’t, I don’t think… D: Okay. S: I don’t believe so, other than a compressor was reported to be outside on the deck by the

window crew, as well as the maintenance supervisor here. There was an electrical extension cord coming in from the house tied to it. Other than that, no, nothing. Nothing else to report, other than just the smell. I personally experienced myself the day that I called the police. On a side note, I was completing a lender inspection with the bank, and that was one of the buildings we had to go to. And, upon arriving, just even, I’d say even

Case Number: 2013-00054055. ORI: WA0170200.

STATEMENT OF ELENA A. STANESCU Case 13-54055 Page 4 Transcript of JEB-2A

200 feet away from the building, I could smell a really strong odor of marijuana. I mean unlike I’ve ever smelled.

D: Okay. S: So, it was, again, I assume it was coming from his home. D: Okay. S: Since it was the same day it was reported but, yeah, that’s about it. D: On the incident report for incident 13-50722 on October 17th, it names the reporting party

as Courtney CALLAHAN. Who’s Courtney? S: She is the assistant manager here. D: So, she is an employee. S: Yes, she is, uh-huh. D: Okay. In talking about Unit KK-202 or Mr. STRYCHARSKE prior to the incident in October

and today, were there any other complaints or concerns by other tenants or your staff that raised suspicion about any type of activity in Unit KK-202?

S: No, not necessarily complaints. Daniel has complained about service request issues and

things like that. He’s, tends to just complain about everything, demands things be fixed and repaired within hours’ time, things like that, but we’ve always taken care of him. And other than that, no, not, not really. Nothing criminal, nothing really concerning. He always gave the vibe off to our staff, our maintenance staff, excuse me, that he may have been, what you call stoner, someone who, you know, maybe smokes weed. Again, this is not something they visually saw. They just got the impression by just the way that his apartment looked and his appearance and things like that. And so, it was just an assumption that they had made. But other than that, no, no other complaints or reports or anything.

D: So, just to be specific, prior to the incident on October 17th, there was no reports of

exorbitantly strong odors of marijuana or anything else. S: No. D: Prior to that date. S: No. D: That was the first time. S: That was the first time.

Page 54: Bellevue Police Department report 13-54055 pt. 6

Case Number: 2013-00054055. ORI: WA0170200.

STATEMENT OF ELENA A. STANESCU Case 13-54055 Page 5 Transcript of JEB-2A D: Okay. Can you describe to me if there was anybody else you suspected to be living there,

residing there or spending a lot of time? S: Yes. So, when Daniel first moved in in April, he had reported to our office that he was

going to have his friend, Jesse KAPLAN, move in with him and be on the lease. He did say that Jesse would not be added to the lease until possibly a couple months later, just because he was in another lease at anther apartment. So, time went by, he never added himself. We didn’t think much of it. When the complaints—well, the service request started about three months back, every time Daniel came in, Jesse came with him. And the way Jesse spoke was in, in a sense that he lived here. He spoke as if he were a resident himself. Jesse also paid rent in a form of a check in his name, was getting packages delivered here, so when all that was said and done, we basically came to the, you know, determination, yes, he did live here. We served a 10-day notice to comply to Daniel, just asking that Jesse be added to the lease per the lease requirements. Daniel responded by basically arguing the same that Jesse was not an occupant, he just visited often. We kind of went back and forth about that. Of course, it’s a very gray area, so we just explained to him that that’s fine if he doesn’t want to be added but just the understanding is he cannot live here. He can’t pay rent, he can’t get packages, he’s not an occupant. Other than that, he is the only person that I am aware of that could possibly live in that apartment.

D: And you mentioned that 10-day notice was served on September 5th of 2013. Does that

sound about right? S: Yes. Let me double-check. I believe so. Yes. D: Okay. Are you aware of either Mr. KAPLAN or Mr. STRYCHARSKE having any type of

friendships or close relationships with any of the neighbors or other tenants in the Hampton Greens?

S: No. D: Okay. S: None. D: What time did you arrive here today about? S: I arrived here approximately, I would say 8:15 a.m. D: Okay. And how did you learn about the incident that took place? S: At approximately 7 a.m., I received the text message from an old employee who saw the

fire on the news, saw the report. D: Okay. So, do you have any personal knowledge or observations about what occurred

today?

regarding either Mr. STRYCHARSKE, the suspected actions in KK-202 or the fire that took place today?

STATEMENT OF JAMES J. DOLAK Case 13-54055 Page 1 Transcript of JEB-2B D = Officer James BRACK J = James J. DOLAK D: Okay. This is Detective BRACK. The date is November 5th, 2013. It’s 12:19 p.m. by my

watch. I’m in Unit MM-102. This is regarding the fire investigation, case 13-54055. I’m in Unit MM-102 with the resident, Joe J. DOLAK.

Mr. DOLAK, do I have permission to record this conversation? J: Yes. D: Okay. Would you please spell your last name and tell me your date of birth. J: Spelling of my last name is D-O-L-A-K. I was born December 3rd, 1946. D: Okay. Mr. DOLAK, we’ve had a brief discussion about what you experienced this

morning. You want to go ahead and kind of start from the beginning and tell me what you remember about the events this morning?

J: Sure. I was sitting at my kitchen table, listening to the radio. I hear a loud thump, like a

base drum. Almost simultaneously, I felt a shockwave coming from, would be the southwest corner of the building, diagonally right through my apartment. You could just tell it just vibrated right through it. About 15, 20 minutes later, I started to hear neighbors just moving around loudly upstairs. And at first I thought it was just some furniture that crashed or something. I didn’t know. About 20 minutes later, a nice neighbor lady knocked on my door and said there was a fire in the back. And I just let it go with that but I did put my coat on and just checked it out and I came back in. About 10 minutes later, somebody from the Fire Department says, “Get what you can. Bring what you need. You’ll have to leave. There’s been a fire and it’s coming this way.” Put my coat back on, not much else. So, I went to see. Curiosity, I went back to see as much as I could about that fire, and it was, it was up in flames. And I noticed a, a vent. It was bleeding, forcely feeding, exiting or exhausting a light smoke or light-colored smoke which is a little bit unusual at this point. And there was black soot that was coming up, tar, I don’t know what all was burning. Furniture probably. And I thought to myself, lint, lint or dust could create an explosion. And there’s a lot of dryers around here, you know, when—and that could get clogged and somebody, started drying or something, the heat, could trigger that. That was the first thought in my mind, a lint explosion, dust explosion. So, I walked in, back into my car which was 40-foot, started up my car and tried to keep warm and I stayed there for about 40 minutes. So, people started to segregate, go their own ways, and one of the neighbors says, “I’m going back in my house,” which is like next door. I said, “That’s a good idea,” so I came back in and told until Mr. James BRACK knocked on my door, and I’m telling him, James, what I remember. And the time my watch said 6:27 when I first heard that and experienced the shockwave.

D: Okay. So, at 6:27 in the morning is when you heard a loud crack, is what you told me.

And then, you kind of felt the shock. J: It was, it was like a, not a loud crack. It was like a, you hit a base drum.

And you also felt the shock wave then. J: Kind of simultaneously. D: Okay. Almost simultaneously. Okay. And then, when you were watching the fire, can you

describe the color of the flames that you saw? J: Bright yellow. D: Bright yellow. And how about the color of the smoke? J: White or a very light gray. D: Did you notice any odd or peculiar smells in the air? J: No, sir. D: Okay. Do you happen to know anybody that lives in that building that was on fire? J: No. D: Okay. Do you have any, was there ever anything that concerned you about either the

people living there or what might be taking place in that building that was on fire today? J: No, but like you see people like when I get my mail, and I don’t know if they live there or

not. D: Right. J: I’d say hello, goodbye, and that’s it. D: Okay. Fair, fair enough. Is there anything else you’d like to share? J: Not at this time. I can’t think of anything else.

STATEMENT OF JAMES J. DOLAK Case 13-54055 Page 3 Transcript of JEB-2B D: Okay. J: But if something does come to mind, I have your card. D: You can call me or email me or however you want to get in touch with me is great. J: Okay. I don’t think there would be. I’m pretty squared away about this stuff. My

background dictates, you know. Just, you know, Marine Corps Officer, Marines, and a fighter pilot.

D: Wow. J: And you see these two pieces of junk thing in a bundle. D: Yeah. J: And they are junk. D: Well, you gave a very good detailed statement. Like you said, it sounds like you had

some experience making those observations and getting them… J: I’ve been involved in incidents before, reporting like this. D: Uh-huh. J: Before I was in the Marine Corps, obviously take tests being an electrical engineer,

master’s degree and all that weird stuff. During the Marine Corps, it made sense being a project manager.

D: Got you. So… J: I’m no flake. [laughs] I didn’t say I was… D: No, you sound squared away to me. J: I didn’t say I was genius here either. D: [laughs] I’m gonna go ahead and end the recording. It’s currently 12:27 by my watch.

Thank you, sir. 8582-inv-Dolak

STATEMENT OF CALEB A. PETRIE Case 13-54055 Page 1 Transcript of JEB-2C D = Detective James BRACK P = Caleb A. PETRIE D: Okay. This is Detective BRACK with the Bellevue Police Department. It’s November 5th,

2013 at about 1:32 p.m. by my watch. This is regarding case 13-54055. It’s a fire investigation. I’m currently in Unit JJ-202 with the tenant, Caleb A. PETRIE. Mr. PETRIE, do I have permission to record our conversation?

P: Yes. D: Can you spell your last name for me and give your date of birth. P: PETRIE, P-E-T-R-I-E, and 3/8/75. D: Okay, Mr. PETRIE, you want to kind of start from the beginning of your first recollection

regarding the fire incident today, what you heard or saw or about what time and go from there.

P: Yeah. It was about 6:20, 6—between 6:15 and 6:30 sometime. I was just starting to wake

up. I could hear a dog barking, and I think that’s actually what woke me up was the dog barking, now that I think about it. And then, there was the … a … a very loud explosion a banging sound, I guess. Not really banging. Just one, one explosion is what it was. And it kind of rattled the windows and, and my fiance thought it was a tree falling on the building. And I kind of immediately knew it wasn’t the tree falling just by the sound of it. It didn’t have a popping, like a tree sound. So, I got up, looked out the window, and the building next door was, there’s flames shooting out both sides of the building. And so, I got my phone, started to make a video. And then, I could hear people outside yelling, so I got up as quick as I could and got out there to, to try and help. There was a lady on the ground. The leg broken. There was a, the building, there was popping sounds coming out of the building that, that I felt were, were bullets. But, again, it, sure, but it really sounded like it. And I tried to warn people to get away ‘cause it might be some bullets going off. So, I, I tried to help the lady who broke her leg who jumped out of a third-story unit and got her a blanket and just kind of watched. The flames were a bit different than I would expect to see. I would expect to see orange flames, and these were like white flames, which was kind of interesting also with the popping sounds. And I, I didn’t really know exactly what to make of it but I knew it wasn’t safe, so. Yeah. And then, Fire showed up after people called and basically took over, so.

D: So, you mentioned that you heard a dog barking. P: Yeah. D: Did you hear that dog barking before you heard the loud explosion? P: Exactly, yeah.

Case Number: 2013-00054055. ORI: WA0170200.

STATEMENT OF CALEB A. PETRIE Case 13-54055 Page 2 Transcript of JEB-2C D: Okay. And by the time you heard, what was the time approximately, from the time you

heard the explosion, to when you looked out your window and saw that the building was, had flames shooting out of both sides?

P: I’d say less than a minute. D: Less than a minute. P: Uh-huh. D: Okay. Did you happen to smell anything out of the ordinary? P: Um, it, it, it didn’t exactly smell like just timber or wood burning. It sounded, it, it did have

a, a plasticky smell, I was thinking it could’ve been carpet or just people’s tv’s and stuff, I don’t know. Um, I just figured that’s what it was. So, but there was more, more, uh, stronger smell than just wood burning, I guess.

D: Okay. P: I just figured it’s just normal for a house fire kind of thing but I don’t know. I haven’t really

experienced house fire before. D: Did you observe anything out of the ordinary regarding the color or volume of smoke? P: When it was dark I couldn’t really tell that much about the smoke. It just looked dark to

me. By the time the trucks came and kind of lit it up a bit, it was just mostly, what I remember, mostly being white. But then, I didn’t, I couldn’t really see it when, before like, you know, so.

D: Do you know anybody that lives in the building that burned down? P: No, not. I don’t know anybody. I’ve just seen people going in and out. I don’t, I’ve never

talked to them. D: Have you ever noted anything peculiar or strange or suspicious about anything going on in

that building? P: No, no. Not at all. D: Okay. And your fiance, Achiko, was also here at the time but she’s no longer present to

be interviewed, is that correct? P: Correct, yes. She had to go to work. D: Okay. And you took two or three videos of the incident on your phone which now you’re

burning a disc for me. P: Correct.

STATEMENT OF CALEB A. PETRIE Case 13-54055 Page 3 Transcript of JEB-2C D: Okay. Was there anything else you’d like to share about either what you saw or heard

regarding this incident? P: Um, uh, I don’t know. I think that’s about it. Just a, it was kind of, it seemed very unlikely

to have an explosion like this. That’s why I was kind of concerned. Just why would something explode in a, in a unit that, ‘cause I know these apartments don’t have gas, so. Otherwise, I would have thought well maybe it’s a gas, natural gas explosion but there’s no, they’re all electric. There shouldn’t be anything in here that’s gonna explode like that, so that’s what was interesting to me mostly. Scary really, so.

D: You found it odd that in the, in these buildings, especially since they don’t have any type of

gas supply… P: Uh-huh. D: That there would be such a loud and voluminous explosion. P: Yes, absolutely. It was, it was very loud and that, the shockwave even—I have a friend

who lives in the building next to it. I didn’t mention this earlier but he said the, the nails in his wall came through the sheetrock.

D: Oh. P: Because of the, the shockwave. D: Okay. P: Pressed his walls that hard. D: What was your friend’s name? P: Payman. D: Payman? P: Yeah. D: Okay. And he was in the building next to the one that burned? P: Uh-huh. D: Okay. Did you happen to feel a shockwave or notice a shockwave of any sort? P: Oh, yeah. D: Okay.

STATEMENT OF CALEB A. PETRIE Case 13-54055 Page 4 Transcript of JEB-2C P: Yeah, in the windows which were rattling and, yeah. D: Okay. So, you noticed that the windows were rattling. And then, did you also feel it in

your person, and so… P: Yeah, and I, I was lying down. D: And you were lying down at the time? P: Yeah. D: Okay. So, you were already awake at the time possibly because of the dog. P: Right. D: When this happened. P: Uh-huh. D: Okay. Anything else you could think of? P: No, not really. No. That’s pretty much it, yeah. D: Okay. The time is 1:39 p.m. by my watch and I’m ending the recording. 8581-inv-Petrie
