 Melquist told police that he and Bonnie were friends and that she often consulted him as a sort of big brother and that he regretted not being more patient with her call. He also told Detective Devaney about the second phone call which came that night around 11 p.m. from a young man that he didn't know. The caller said that Bonnie had gotten out of his car near Mannheim Road and US Route 66 after an argument and wanted Melquist to bring her home.
