Detail of these events

• What little I witnessed that night
  

  • When I arrived at John's Cafe after attending the weekly Tuesday night John's Cafe volleyball game, I noticed that Dave's van was parked across the street, which was odd because Dave does not drive if he is going to be drinking.  But Dave is not in John's Cafe and I do not see him until Thursday night, when I go to John's Cafe after the beach concert.
    

    • This was also the night that most of the members of the John's Cafe volleyball team did not show up for the game
      
      

  • Laura Joyner arrives and sits in the seat next to me at the bar

    • 08/06/02 the last time I shunned Laura Joyner

      • 08/03/02 Saturday - I shunned Laura Joyner

    • 08/06/02 the evening of Tuesday
      
      
      

  • Bob Heively arrives shortly afterward with Kevin Moon, a mutual friend of ours who left the area years before and who I'd been unable to contact since.
    

    • Laura Joyner uses this as an opportunity to try to engage me in conversation with her, which she knows I am trying to avoid
      
      
      

• 08/06/02 Dave is sexually assaulted
  

  • How I learn about the assault
    

    • 08/08/02 Joyner taunts Dave about the sexual assault a few hours before his abduction
      

      • That Thursday night, through Joyner's taunts of Dave as he sat next to me, I learn that Tuesday 08/06/02 was the night of the "initiating" sexual assault on Dave, carried out by Josh
        

        • 08/08/02 Josh is identified as assailant in the 08/06/02 brutal sexual assault of Dave
          
          
          

      • At the end of the night, I witness Dave's abduction into total custody
        

        • summary of what appears to have happened:  control, escalating: sexually and/or physically assaulted
          
          
          
          

    • 08/08/02 Dave tells me
      

      • At first, he was not wanting me to find out about it but later, probably because he is starting to suspect that he may be dangerously trapped in a situation and that I should know that, Dave tells me of the sexual assault on him two nights before
        
        
        
        

• brutality of this assault
  

  • 08/10/02 begin to hear references about the brutality of 08/06/02 assault on Dave
    

    • I learn that Tania Tyler is stating that she was aware that Dave was known to have been unconscious in his van for the two days after that assault
      

    • I learn that word was being spread by Tania Tyler, and most probably also by Laura Joyner, that the explanation of this was that Dave was on a "drinking binge" and was "sleeping"
      
      
      

  • 08/16/02 in crude remarks during standoff, Dunbar and Joyner allude to the brutality of 08/06/02 assault on Dave

    • Dunbar's rude comments to Dave and Joyner's interjection
