99H0030 823

On Friday, 9 April 1999, Assistant States Attorney, Ms. Vickie Wash along with this investigator responded to Woodlawn Senior High School in furtherance of the above captioned investigation. While at the school the following students were interviewed; Rebecca Walker, Peter Billingsley, Nina Philipsen and Ja'uan Gordon. For information gathered during those interviews, see section F of this file.

The investigation continued with Ms. Wash and this investigator responding to the residence of Nisha Tanna, located 2008 Ballows Way in Silver Spring, Maryland. Your investigator agreed to meet with the witness at her residence because of her reluctance to travel to Baltimore.

During the interview, Ms. Tanna was very cooperative and helpful in providing background information about her friendship with suspect, Adnan Syed. She also provided your investigators with information about the call placed to her residence on Wednesday, 13 January 1999 from the suspect's cellular phone. For additional information obtained during that interview, see section F of this file.

Respectfully,

Detective William F. Ritz
