Enigma Police Department
TRANSCRIBED ORAL STATEMENT OF Techno G. Eek
August 20, 2007; 10:30 AM
Present: Officer Rick Swartz (star 241) and Techno G. Eek
Officer Swartz: This statement is taken regarding the August 17, 2007 death of Simon P. Ano,
1254 Beyond Hope Street in Enigma. It is now 10:30 AM, August 20, 2007. We are in the
Enigma Police Station, Interview Room 1. I am detective Rick Swartz, star 241, of the Enigma
police department, and we are recording a statement from Techno G. Eek, the Baclofen pump
technician.
Mr. Eek, do you understand that we are recording this interview? You do not have to make a
statement. You are not under arrest. You are entitled to have a lawyer here if you want. If you
have a question or do not understand something we are talking about, please stop me and ask.
You can stop the interview any time you want. Do you understand?
Eek: Sure do.
Swartz: You understand that all of this will be transcribed – written out from the recording – and
you will have the opportunity to read your typewritten statement, making corrections or additions
later on, if you want? OK?
Eek: Yes, sir. Could I ask what this is about?
Swartz: On August 17, we were called to the house of Mr. Simon P. Ano. His nurse contacted
us when she discovered his body.
Eek: The body?
Swartz: Yes, he passed away sometime after 11:45 PM, August 16. The police were called on
the morning of August 17.
Eek: Oh, sorry to hear that. He was a nice person, really upbeat lately.
Q: [Swartz]: So you were not aware that he died?
A: [Eek]: No, I wasn’t aware of that. What happened?
Q: Mr. Eek, you haven’t seen the headlines in the paper about his death?
A: No, I haven’t. I was out of town last week. Just got back to Enigma last night.
Q: And where were you all this time?
A: There was a conference in Washington that I had to attend to get my continuing credit hours.
I decided to stay on a few days and enjoy the scene.

2. Q: Who did you travel with?
A: John Dougherty. We roomed together and went to the conference together. I tried to get Ima
to go, but she couldn’t take the time off.
Q: Do you have a number for Mr. Dougherty?
A: Sure, it is 229-533-5792. He’s at work until about 6:00 PM.
Q: Thank you.
A: Can you tell me about the last time you worked on the Baclofen pump?
Q: Sure, I came about two weeks ago for a routine service call – made sure the programming
was correct and the Baclofen reservoir was full. There were no problems. Everything was
working perfectly when I left.
A: Mr. Eek. How well did you know Ano’s nurse?
Q: Ima? I have known her since 4th grade. We hung with the same people, went to college
together and came back here. I helped her get the job with Ano. It was her first job so they were
a bit nervous about her skills. She has done great on this job, though.
A: Do you by any chance know a friend of hers named HoneyBear?
Q: HoneyBear? Sure, that’s me. She gave me that nickname in high school and somehow it
seemed to stick.
A: Can you tell me what the text message you sent her on the 17th meant?
Q: What did it say?
A: Finally gotcha.
Q: Oh, that? (laughs). It is a stupid game we play to see who can squeeze in the fastest text
message before the other can respond. She has lightening fingers and usually wins. I finally
beat her and was ribbing her about winning.
A: OK. I suppose that Ima will corroborate your story about the cell phone?
Q: Sure – we have been playing now for about four years.
A: Any idea why the Baclofen pump would have failed?
Q: I am sorry, I don’t. I adjusted the programming when I left and it was working perfectly at that
time. I am real sorry about Mr. Ano. He was a real nice man.
A: OK, Mr. Eek. That will be all for now.

3. Q: That’s all for now, Mr. Eek. I may be contacting you again for more information later.
Eek: No problem.
Swartz: If you think of anything that you would like to add to this interview, please give me a call
at any time.
Eek: Will do. Glad to be of help
