Lyntell Washington was discovered not next to a lake or any other body of water, but rather in a ditch.

Cyntell also testified and said that after the murder she briefly cared for and counseled her niece. Cyntell’s testimony was included in the transcript.
Cyntell said the only thing that mattered to her was that she wanted to help the girl when she was questioned by the defense about why she had not released this data.
