• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in her home just hours after her daughter, Stephanie Ayrsman,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: landed at a nearby airport. Airsman, who had been texting
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with her mother just before leaving Phoenix, became increasingly worried
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: when Jimmerfield did not respond to her messages or answer
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: her calls. Upon landing at the Portland International Airport. Unable
• 2:36

• 4:15
  Speaker 5: the suspect.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I don't see how you could listen to something like that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: What was being spoken by the fendant, the words he
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: was using, the tone of it, the frankly sort of
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: banal nature of this argument that led up to it
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: and not come to the conclusion that we always believe
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: was correct, which was first three murder.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: It's unclear if the recording on the victim's phone was
• 4:38

  Speaker 5: the jury had the opportunity to hear the woman say
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: that she wanted to stay in while her boyfriend insisted
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: she join him out for an evening. At one point,

  Speaker 5: heard saying the word stop fifty three times. The woman
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: seems to try to bite the man to escape, at
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: which point he says, You're going to die right now?
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Are you ready? How do you want to die? He said?
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: By blunt force trauma or something else, or maybe I
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: should choke you to death. A few moments later, the
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: woman's voice begins to weaken. Alex Herman was an accomplished
• 5:33
