ENCLOSURE5:

l. WITNESS STATEMENT- ORR

On May 23, 2002, at approximately 1330 hours, I was driving near the crime
scene of a homicide investigation located at 4430 Utica Circle at the Mobiland
By The Sea mobile home park in Melbourne, Brevard County, Florida. Earlier in
the afternoon, 1 was informed that a vehicle, identified as a 1987 Oldsmobile
bearing a Florida tag# TOSHN1U, V. LN.# 1G3EZ1136HU31 167, was stolen from the
residence of the decedent, Cortney Crandall. The persons suspected of the
vehicle theft were Rita Akridge and Judy Foley.

I located a vehicle parked near the south entrance to Mobiland By The Sea. The
vehicle matched the description of the vehicle driven by Rita Akridge. 1
drove up to the vehicle, which was occupied by two white females, and honked my
horn. The ehicle was a Pontiac Sunbird, red in color, bearing a Florida tag
of# XMG251 1. Rita Akridge exited the vehicle. Judy Foley remained sitting
inside the vehide. 1 asked Rita if she would speak to me and she replied
that she would.

At 1428 hours, 1 conducted a sworn, non- custodial interview with Rita Akridge.
The following is a summation of her statement.

Rita stated she and her sister, Judy Foley, were told by deputies on h1ay 22
that once the crime scene was released they could make entry into the
residence. When I asked Rita to provide a deputy' s name that told her they
could make entry, she could not recall. Rita stated that on May 23, at
approximately 1200 hours, she and Judy arrived at 4430 Utica Circle. During
the interview, Rita con rmed Homicide Agent Gary Harrell did advise her and
Judy to not make entry inside the residence earlier in the morning. Rita
said she and Judy noticed the residence was secured and the locks had been
changed. Judy Foley broke a kitchen window and she and Rita made entry into
the residence. Rita stated Judy wanted to make entry into the residence to
find paperwork proving ownership of various property. Rita said Judy had the
right to enter the residence. While inside the residence, Rita Akridge and
Judy Foley took a telephone. When they departed from the residence, Judy
Foley took a white in color vehicle, an Oldsmobile belonging to the decedent,
Cortney Crandall. According to Rita, the decedent gave Judy Foley the vehicle
Pagc 7 of Reports02137803. html
I as a Christmas gift. She was not sure if Judy' s name was on the title. Rita
stated Judy drove the decedenYs vehicle to her residence located at 201
Harbour City Parkway in Indian Harbour Beach. That concluded the interview
with Rita Akridge. For details of the interview, refer to the corresponding
audio tape.

At approximately 1439 hours, 1 conducted a sworn interview with Judy Foley.

The following is a summation of her statement. On 111ay 23, Judy Foley went to
the decedent' s residence located at 4430 Utica Circle. Judy stated that when
she and the decedent moved from 2153 Rocway Drive to 1430 Utica Circle, she
and her son, Michael Bruce Foley, only stayed one night at the new residence
before she and her son moved out on i tay 12 and went to Rita' s residence.

Judy Foley stated on May 23, 2002, she and Rita attempted to make entry inside
the residence but the locks had been changed. Judy alleged she is part owner
of the residence and had the legal right to make entry. Judy broke the
kitchen window and she and her sister, Rita, made entry. While inside the
residence, she took a telephone that belonged to her. Prior to departing
from the residence, Judy admitted to taking the decedent' s vehicle, a I987
Oldsmobile. Judy stated she had the keys to the vehicle. Judy alleged the
decedent gave her the vehicle as a gift but never changed the title to her
name. tii'hen 1 asked Judy why she did not take the Oldsmobile on her recent trip
to Alabama if it belonged to her, she replied that Rita preferred to drive her
vehicle. Judy Foley stated she drove the Oldsmobile to Rita' s residence in
Indian Harbour Beach. Judy Foley said she should have verified if the
vehicle title was under her name prior to taking the vehicle. That concluded
the interview with Judy Foley. For details of her statement, refer to the
corresponding audio tape.

During the course of the investigation, Agent Craig Adelman of the West
Precinct General Crimes Unit, established probable cause to arrest Judv
Foley and Rita Akridge with grand theft of the decedent' s automobile. Deputy
Crook( I. D.# 504) responded to my location at Mobiland By The Sea and placed
Judy Fole,y and Rita Akridge under arrest. Deputy Crook transported them to
West Precinct to meet with Agent Adelman.

This supplement report will be forwarded to Agent Adelman to assist in his

investigation.
