"So I am not a “foozool” person. That’s a lie. I am. With my friends, I am. with my husband, I am. If someone’s texting, I’m like, “Who are you texting?” But I don’t ask a lot of questions of people, but it’s such a thing in our culture. People are very upset with me because I call it part of Persian culture. Obviously, it’s not a part of our greater culture. It’s like we have an amazing, beautiful centuries-old culture.

She once told me, “Everybody thinks I should be afraid of you, but I’m not.” The town's sheriff would take photographs of us and follow one or both of us in his vehicle. Eventually I caught her making love to an unidentified person. Shortly afterwards the sheriff also arrived and spotted me. I fled, leaving my scarf behind on the branch of a bush. My girlfriend disappeared under suspicious circumstances and was later found dead. Shunned by many, I was immediately considered the main suspect. While in the interrogation room, I was shown a white cloth, which the sheriff identified as the item used to strangle the girl. I denied that the girl and I were romantically involved.
