Well, you're saying right as far as the events and then where we are they they don't some of that stuff don't make a lot of sense, okay? [music] >> Don't reach in your pocket, all right? A badly burned woman shows up at a stranger's door asking for help. Within minutes, officers are trying to figure out who did this to her, but the first answers they get only make the case [music] more confusing. This happened on March 2nd, 2024 in Auburn, Alabama.

The first few moments are [music] brutal. Officers are trying to steady her, figure out where she came from, and understand [music] what even happened, but she is clearly in pain and struggling to explain it. Let's Let's walk down this way a little bit. I'm going to hold on to your shirt here, okay? What's your name, sweetie? Amanda. Amanda? Uh-huh. What's your last name, Amanda? Where'd you come from?

Do me a favor, will you lift your um your hoodie up a little bit for me? And the burns are not just in one spot. Head, shoulders, stomach. Whatever happened to her, it was not minor and it was not quick. Do you know where you're at right now, hon? Do you know what city you're in? Open this up. I don't know. Just sit down right there.

So, give give me a second. Give me a second let She said it was a white female. A white female did that? >> Yeah. Hey, sorry about that. If you don't mind, could you just kind of just do a little statement up I guess about where she walked up and where at least if you might have seen what direction she came from. >> I I honestly I didn't I didn't see anything. I just saw her at my door. My front door opened she was like, "Hey, can you you know, call a paramedic? I've been beat up and burned." My first assistant My first, you know, thought was somebody like threw her out of the car like beat her up and threw her out of the car. That's how she ended up here. Mhm. I didn't know she ended up like she was way across town and somehow managed I don't know how she managed to walk over here. >> here. But yeah, I don't even know I honestly don't even know uh Yeah, if you could just jot that little part down the about a close time whenever uh All I need is just your name, your birthday, address, and a phone number. You don't need to fill out this I'm going to scribble this out. You can You can take it inside and fill it out and that way you're able to sit down. I know it's going to be hard to write with your hand. Yeah. Okay, so just my name, address. You from here? Um she's got an Alabama ID, but it says she's she has an address somewhere. So. Oh. The witness does not clear much up either. All he can tell officers is that she came to his door asking for a paramedic and saying she had been beaten and burned. That leaves police with the same problem. Let's go. Think we at least give her some medicine. You might really want to get her face if you want to take Yeah, I got I got those there. I just needed the other parts that were I couldn't see cuz she had her jacket on. Okay. This arm's worse than this one. Oh, sorry. No, you're fine. Me and ambulances in small spaces don't get along. Sure. Got it. Oh. I'll get out of you guys' way. The victim was taken to the hospital for further checkups. She was able to speak. After talking to her in more detail, officers learned she had earlier been involved in an incident with a man named Jarvis. Based on this information, they quickly went to his home to speak with him. This was part of the ongoing investigation. Is that her stuff right there? Yeah, yeah, man, cuz I'm I'm about tired of this bro. Crap. Bro. I mean like I'm I'm I'm doing my laundry. All right, yeah, I get you. Look, I got >> What's Yeah, you you keep You got what? I got to uh cut my water off here. Wash clothes. Yeah, here we'll cut it off or let's go back here. Yeah, I need to cut this off. Does she have a room she stays in or Yeah, she That's my girl. Okay, okay, she Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Officers are not arresting him here, but they are clearly not comfortable leaving this as a quick doorstep talk. They want him at the department on camera explaining it properly. And that is where the story starts pulling in a different direction from what Amanda first told police. So, so what's going on here? Well, hey, look, man, not not to to mess around with that. This is what we're going to do, okay? Yes, sir. Um and and let's let's run down to the PD so we can talk there and fill out some paperwork.

Once the interview starts, the story does not get any cleaner. Jarvis cannot lock down when he last saw Amanda, mixes up the days, and keeps drifting away from direct answers. All right, my name's Nick. I'm one of the detectives. I don't know I looked at it. What's your name again? J- Jarvis. Jarvis? Jarvis, okay. Will you talk to me?

So, you're calling and all that kind of stuff, right, but you haven't seen her. No, like last time I saw her was like when I brought chicken and Chinese. Now, I was still eating the Chinese and then Yeah. The detective is trying to pin down something simple, but the timeline keeps moving. And just when it seems like they might get somewhere, the interview starts heading toward a dead end. This you She did it when she wanted to. Like she did she wanted to brush her teeth, she did it. She wanted to travel bag, she did it. Yeah. That's her problem. She tells she can't I can't go anywhere. Yeah. She >> [laughter] >> And this isn't to get her in a type of trouble, right?

Yeah, that's That's what I'm asking him and he Like Like I mean so and that's the thing is that you know, some somebody somebody's done something to her and I don't think it's you, I don't but I like I want to make sure whoever it is like you know, we can take care of her. Make sure they don't do this kind of stuff again. Do you you feel the same way? Yeah, yeah, and I'm asking him like what's going on? What's going on with him? And he's saying nothing. I got you.

Ask you questions about this. I'm going to get the attorney to run you back home, okay? Uh I'm going to keep her phone uh and I'll get it back to her and stuff like that, okay? Um But she she's in the hospital for a little bit. Like I said, I don't What's wrong with her, man? Uh I don't To be honest with you, man, I I'm not a doctor. I don't know. She She looks pretty rough. What stays with you at the end of this video is Amanda's condition. She is the one who shows up badly burned, in pain, [music] and struggling to explain what happened to her. But the other detail that never really goes away is what she first told police, that it was a girl and that she agreed it was a white female. Then the focus shifts to Jarvis, whose timeline stays shaky and whose answers never really settle anything. So, by the end of this footage, police are left with a woman suffering serious burns, a story that points in two directions, and no clear public resolution after that point.
