Davis said that when Jandreani became involved with Bell, he was told there had been a previous phone call between an inmate and Bell discussing human trafficking activities. During the conversation, Bell told you to ‘reach out to Anthony.’

Davis later told the hearing that when they found a surname for ‘Anthony’, which was used throughout the initial investigation, they showed the victim several photographs that would help identify ‘Anthony’.

Chief Davis said neither victim selected Anthony Patterson’s photo in the lineup. Davis shared with the courtroom that the elderly victim was very surprised when shown Pattersonn’s photo. ‘She circled him with her finger but then pointed at another man,’ he said.
