- Jill’s mother notices Dukes’ peculiar interest and his attempts to confide in her
Quote [13:18] (Narrator): "As soon as she joined his chorus class, he was showering her with cards, gift cards and other gifts. Jill was extremely uncomfortable... But non-consensual touching is especially bad."

Quote [19:25] (Narrator): "That evidence alone was damning. But when detectives went over to Starr Elementary to search Duke's classroom, they found even more creepy things... Inside Duke's desk, they discovered a bunch of pictures of Jill."
