APPENDIX C - FINAL LOFTS TIMELINE (2022 SYNOPSIS BELOW)

I've had 11 months to think about the things Mandi said to me in prison. A) She left Scott at Chris Dahl's house (which fits everything), and B) She went to the balcony to smoke after she came back from the garage. This enables me to come up with a new timeline. But with the caveat that I don't remember all the factors that went into my last timeline in the book 31 months ago.

There are some key factors in the new timeline:

1) I originally jumped to the idea at Love's trial, that the hidden dog walker who let love in the freight door, and the hidden dog walker in the garage with Mandi and Mulrenin in the Cintron interview, was the same dog walker. I had been asking for video of one, and was surprised when they showed new video of the other. And the timestamps were off 7 minutes, it was a quick conclusion to fit all these things together. I no longer think the first blur in the garage from right to left under the cars is the same dog walker. The dog walker clearly going left to right in the garage could be the same dog walker, but it is not necessary.

2) I initially believed Mandi in prison that she went to the garage after "25 or 30" minutes like the police timeline claimed. This fit with going in and having sex in a quick businesslike fashion, and then going for a new tampon and a cigarette. But I now return to the idea that Mandi went to the garage later, and in prison Mandi was just reciting the time she had been told.

3) After looking at the video again, the video of Love going up the elevator and turning left toward the apartment, fits with him having just seen Mandi on the balcony, and going up in an aggressive mood. This means it is after she went to the garage. This means for it to be the same dog walker, the dog walker would have to be on his way out while Mandi is in the garage.

4) Detective Sprague seemed to believe Love came in and hid in the elevator, around the same time Mandi was in the garage. Love could have been hiding from anyone in the elevator, and this was likely before Mandi went to the garage. It is unlikely Love would have hid in the elevator, if he saw Mandi.

4:15ish - Mandi leaves after stopping by Chris Dahl's house

4:43 - Mandi calls Mulrenin to meet her at sidewalk for supposed drug deal and to cash out dancer dollars
4:44 - Mulrenin exits freight elevator and walks out to sidewalk with drink to appear more inviting
4:47 - Jackson drives up and meets Mulrenin, parks perpendicular to garage entrance
4:52 - Jackson and Mulrenin park and exit fifth-floor garage, southwest corner

5:20ish - Scott wonders where Mandi is

5:50ish - an hour passes before Love arrives on his own with paving hat and bag
5:50ish - Love goes to every floor trying to find Jackson's car
6:00ish - Love hides from someone on elevator southwest corner
6:00ish - Love find Jackson's car in fifth floor garage
6:05ish - Love goes back outside

6:17 - Jackson and Mulrenin enter garage
6:19 - freight entrance dog walker walks right to left across Cintron video
6:20 - Jackson and Mulrenin exit fifth-floor garage, southwest corner

6:23 - Love sees Jackson on lit fifth-floor balcony third apartment from end
6:29 - Love walks in behind freight entrance dog walker
6:30 - Love knocks on Mulrenin's door
6:36 - Mandi runs alone to her car in the garage
6:37 - 911 call for Mulrenin committing suicide
6:42 - fire truck arrives with sirens

The clear Cintron left-to-right dog walker in the garage does not have to be the freight entrance dog walker. Love hiding in the elevator, Love finding Jackon's car, and then Jackson going to the garage, could have happened any time in the general window.

July 2022 Synopsis

In 2015, James Mulrenin was the manager of Stars and Dollhouse, two strip clubs across the street from each other run as a single business in Orlando, Florida. In October 2015, Plaintiff reported the pimp of Orange County prostitute Mandi May Jackson's to the Florida Department of Children and families, making it difficult for him to take Jackson to Miami. As a consequence, Jackson went in an applied to Stars around Halloweed 2015. The manager was sitting with the strip club drug dealer Chris Dahl. They gave Jackson a large fruity drink in a novelty cup even though she was only 20, and she went home with Chris Dahl and did cocaine and had sex with him.

On December 12, 2016, two wealthy connected local men came into Stars and purchased $20k in dance coupons using credit cards. On December 13, 2016, they went across the street to Dollhouse where Mulrenin was working, and purchased another $20,000 in dance coupons using credit cards. It was almost unheard of for customers to use dance coupons, and it was impossible to spend $20,000 at Dollhouse, and never actually happened.

Mandi May Jackson was part of the strip club social scene in Conway. When Jackson heard two big customers were throwing money away, she wanted to apply and work at Stars on December 12, 2016, but it was too late to apply and start the same night. Jackson went across the street to Dollhouse, because she knew manager Mulrenin since when she applied to work at Stars around Halloween 2015. Jackson believed Mulrenin would let her apply and work the same night. When the two big customers came back the next night December 13, 2016, Jackson again applied at Dollhouse, and Mulrenin made an exception for a friend and let her start work around 11:00 PM.

At the end of the night of December 13, 2016 the strippers held around $5k in dance coupons, including some that said "Stars" on them. Dollhouse had $7,000 cash on hand at the end of the night, but Mulrenin told the strippers he did not have enough money to cash them out, and to come back the next day. This was Mulrenin's standard practice witnessed firsthand by Plaintiff at Stars in 2012.

At the end of the night of December 13, 2016, Jackson had no cash and only dance coupons. Mulrenin told Jackson he would give her cash for her dance coupons if she stayed after all the other girls left. Mulrenin then told Jackson to get some drugs and came by his house, and he would give her cash. Around 4AM, Jackson stopped by the house of the strip club drug dealer Chris Dahl where her boyfriend Scott Love had been waiting for her all night. She told Dahl and Love that she was going to Mulrenin's house to get some money.

Jackson drove to Seminole County and met Mulrenin at the curb in front of his apartment building. Mulrenin came down to the curb with a drink consisting of vodka mixed with orange juice. This suggests prior experience that Jackson likes sour juice, including when the manager bought her a large juice drink when she first applied at Stars in 2015, which at that time resulted in her going home and doing cocaine and having sex with one of them. Mulrenin lured Jackson upstairs for drugs and cash. He gave her a large vodka drink, which photos show she drank down to the ice and she admits feeling sick from. Both Mulrenin and Jackson's DNA were found on the straw in Jackson's drink.

Jackson was heavily prescribed anxiety medication at the time, and was not used to alcohol. Mulrenin surreptitiously cut 5mg of codeine into the cocaine he gave Jackson. Jackson passed out, and does not remember what happened to this day. After about two hours, around 6AM, Jackson's boyfriend Love needed a ride to work. He did not have a phone and was unable to reach Jackson. Chris Dahl and his friends were familiar with Mulrenin both from dealing drugs, and because of Mulrenin's sexual abuse of Dahl's stripper girlfriends. Dahl told Love where Jackson was, and drove Love there with the expectation to start some trouble.

Love found Jacksons's car in the parking garage. Love finally saw Jackson smoking on the balcony. Love walked into the building behind a dog walker who swiped open the door, and knocked on Mulrenin's door around 6:30 AM. When Jackson was unavailable, Love forced his way in. A confrontation ensued during which Jackson was incapacitated and sleepwalking. Mulrenin got shot in the leg. It may have been Mulrenin's own gun, which he could have been ready with after being tipped off by Dahl on his burner phone.

The apartment was full of drugs, paraphernalia, prescription drugs without a prescription, stolen cash, and a hooker. Mulrenin had previous convictions for racketeering, prostitution, battery, a violation of probation, and a rape accusation. Mulrenin was involved in faking books for strip club revenue that night, in an apparent money laundering scheme. Mulrenin had drugged a hooker that very night, and Love accused Mulrenin of drugging and raping his girlfriend. If the gun was Mulrenin's, he could not admit to owning it for being a convicted felon. Nobody was calling the police.

Someone made a field dressing and tried to pack Mulrenin's wound, and stop the bleeding with a tourniquet. This was likely a result of Love's familiarity with thigh wounds, from his best friends who had died in the military. But they were unable to stop the bleeding, for not realizing your leg gets narrower when you stand up, like your bicep when your arm is straight or bent.

Mulrenin was high and drunk out of his mind, and possibly half blind from viagra abuse and snorting cocaine with a bacterial eye infection. Mulrenin had previously been diagnosed with nystagmus at a DUI stop. At some point Mulrenin was left unattended. Mulrenin walked out to the balcony and, possibly as a result of the spins from drinking and snorting cocaine with an eye infection, slumped over the railing and jumped to his death.

Mulrenin lingered long enough for two witnesses on the ground to shout at him "don't do it, don't jump." But he went over the railing and died. None of the numerous witnesses who saw and heard him go over heard a gunshot. The most credible account is original witness statements, which say Mulrenin came out to the balcony alone, lingered at the railing long enough and in such a pose to be told "don't do it, don't do it", and jumped without any apparent provocation. But the original 911 calls were kept hidden and never provided to the defense.

Jackson ran out and drove away and left Love in the apartment. Love probably grabbed Mulrenin's wallet off the kitchen counter, possibly when he saw it next to Jackson's phone left behind and grabbed that also. One of the first things Love said to Jackson a few minutes earlier when he found her drugged was Love asked Jackson where is the money you came to get? So Love grabbed Mulrenin's wallet on his way out, but it apparently did not have the money in it that Mulrenin owed Jackson. Mulrenin's money clip presumably went to the hospital where all his clothes and belongings disappeared. There was no sign of any struggle in the apartment, only the carpet being rolled up in a likely effort by Love to hide evidence. Mulrenin's apartment was not disturbed whatsoever, not ransacked in any way.

Police went to Dollhouse to find out who the little blonde girl was on video with Mulrenin at his apartment. Police asked to see the Dollhouse surveillance video. Police saw the video from the club that showed Jackson was friends with Mulrenin, and showed the two VIP's doing drugs for two nights. Police gave manager Michael Garcia a few days to delete all video of the VIP's on that night and previous nights. All video of the two wealthy connected local men at the strip clubs, including Jackson with the two wealthy connected local men, and the drug use and the drug sales taking place in an organized fashion with the approval of management, together with most of the video of Jackson at the strip clubs over the previous week, was deleted.

Police then took the Dollhouse DVR to the FDLE office in Orlando, and left it there. They hid its existence, and did not give a copy to the defense for three years. Even then most of the video was missing. The police then lied and made conflicting statements about the Dollhouse video in police reports and a deposition. They described some things they saw in the video, but said they never looked at the video themselves.

According to an arrest affidavit and a deposition, a witness saw Mulrenin get paid $2500 in coupons from the two wealthy connected local men. That witness who provided their robbery motive has been hidden, and has never been named or disclosed or heard from again. A list of how much the strippers were owed for their dance coupons was written in the hand of a female, suggesting someone at the club knew it was far less than the $40k purchased. Police collected that list, but never named who wrote it. A separate note by Mulrenin with instructions to pay out the dance coupons was supposedly left at Dollhouse. But police never produced that note. Floor manager Carico swore Mulrenin stayed after closing to do books on the night's business. But police never produced any of the records that might support their narrative that Mulrenin took home cash as a motive for robbery.

Mulrenin was supposed to go the bank the next day, to get cash to pay out on the credit card money-laundering scheme. Mulrenin supposedly left a note that he needed to be the one to cash out the dance coupons. When the dancers came in the next day to cash out their dance coupons from the previous night, managers Barabara Mellinger and Michael Garcia told them the lie that they could not pay them, because Mulrenin took their money home with him and Mandi Jackson stole it. Mellinger then obfuscated about what had happened to the money the girls never got paid. They coached everyone at the clubs to lie and say they never met Jackson, she showed up as a stranger. The Dollhouse managers lied and said nobody knew her or had ever seen her before, and it must have been a robbery. Almost every single witness at Jackson's trial lied.

Members of the Altamonte Springs Police Department saw Love arrive on the Lofts surveillance video while Jackson was already there with Mulrenin. They later wrote in an arrest affidavit that the video showed Love "clearly... using a cell phone and... sending text messages", which they suspected was Love coordinating with Jackson. ASPD got phone records and social media accounts, and quickly found out that Jackson had no calls or texts or communications of any kind, and Love did not even have a phone. After ASPD already told everyone it was a planned robbery, they realized they were wrong. It was a simple case of a pimp drugging a prostitute, and getting into a standoff with her boyfriend who came looking for her. Faking the case started when they saw the boyfriend on the elevator, and thought he was texting with Jackson to coordinate with her, but then realized the boyfriend did not even have a phone.

The boyfriend arrived on video much later, while the girlfriend was in the building with her boss. When police found out Jackson and her boyfriend were not in contact all night, they deleted the Lofts video timestamps. They accused Jackson of felony murder of her new pimp Mulrenin, based on the theory she was coordinating with Love by text message. To preserve their narrative of Love coordinating with Jackson after they found out Love did not have a phone - when real evidence showed Love and Jackson had not been in communication for hours - police made new Lofts video clips with no timestamps, and made fake written notes claiming to document the timestamps before they disappeared. The new timestamps were faked, to make it look like Love arrived at the same time as Jackson and took two hours to do an armed robbery (and also to make it look like Jackson stayed in Mulrenins' apartment after he went over and left only when police came, when in fact she ran out significantly earlier).

Altamonte Springs Police Department Officer Jackson Athaide screen recorded video screen grabs from the Lofts DVR with timestamps on them, with the help of maintenance supervisor Tom Cartmel. This video has never been provided to the defense. The original clips recorded from the Lofts DVR disappeared, and were replaced with video in discovery that had no timestamps. Video segments which included other Lofts residents walking their dogs - which residents could have testified what time the video actually took place - were also deleted before discovery. Plaintiff complained in 2018 that the timestamps were missing and the video was suspicious, and asked for video of a hidden dog walker which accidentally appeared in the background of a police interview, in a video of the video never disclosed to the defense.

Jackson was at Mulrenin's apartment for two hours. Her boyfriend Love did not show up until the last five minutes. Police suggested in a report that they were coordinating over the phone for Love to come in and rob Mulrenin. When it turned out Love did not even have a phone, and Jackson had not been in communication with anybody but Mulrenin for the hours prior to the robbery, police had a problem substantiating their alleged robbery coordination plan. So they changed the timestamps on the video to show Love arriving at the same time as Jackson, to make it look like Love coordinated with Jackson without the need of a phone.

Police then noticed there were some dog walkers in the Lofts apartments video who would know the time of Love's arrival was much later than police claimed, including the dog walker who swiped the door open to let Love in the building. So police hid that video, and gave the defense some new video clips with no dog walkers or timestamps. Two years later when the video looked suspicious in preparation for Love's trial, police made some new video clips with new timestamps, and one of the dog walkers. Seminole County prosecutors supervised police to lie at trial and say the video with new fake timestamps was the timestamps they recorded off the Lofts apartment surveillance system two years earlier the day of the crime.

Two years later, a week before Love's trial, police made a new CD with new video clips. The new video clips had new timestamps which police produced themselves two years after they left the Lofts. But the State never disclosed this video to Love's defense. The video showed a new dog walker who let their murderer into the building, which had never been mentioned before in dozens of police reports and notes. But police claimed to not recognize the dog walker or know who he was. The name of the dog walker who let the murderer into the building is hidden to this day.

They faked the new timestamps two years later, but police were supervised by the State Attorney to lie on the stand at trial about all this. They testified perjury about the fake times, and that this was the original video and timestamps they got by screen grabbing the Lofts DVR two years earlier. Tom Cartmel was never called as a witness, rather they called builing manager Michelle Ervin, who was in on the scam and claimed the video was authentic.

ASPD also lied about where they found a bullet in Mulrenin's apartment, and staged photographs of a fake bullet hole in the sofa. They took staged pictures of the bullet in front of a tear in the sofa, which tear they tampered with and lied about and made altered photos of, to claim it was a bullet hole. They then destroyed the sofa with the fake bullet hole where they claimed Mulrenin was shot and bled, to hide their crimes. Police tampered the bullet evidence so bad, they replaced the "burglary of a dwelling with a firearm" charge with "robbery no firearm or weapon", which Jackson was convicted of, contrary to all credible evidence. Jackson is now serving life without parole from age 21 for "robbery no firearm or deadly weapon".

Police and prosecutors staged and faked evidence, and coached almost every witness to lie, to falsely claim Mulrenin had been shot while fleeing off the balcony. They hid the 911 call audio and original witnesses statements, and instead coached the witnesses on the ground to lie and say they heard a gunshot and Mulrenin was shot while fleeing. Police also destroyed the sofa, to hide that Mulrenin sat and bled before he went over, and possibly also to hide Mandi's blood from having sex on the sofa on her period.They threw away the sofa, after staging a bullet in front of the love seat to hide that Mulrenin sat in the recliner and bled.

Police found some surgical gloves in Mulrenin's apartment which Mulrenin apparently tore off his hands hastily, after trying to make a field dressing for his wound. They torn thumbs suggest they could not have come from Jackson's hands, and the blood on the inside and DNA and other evidence suggest they could not have come from Love's hands. ASPD CSI Alison Smolarek collected "three plastic gloves with suspected blood", from an apparent field dressing of Mulrenin's wound at his apartment. Mulrenin was likely afraid to call police to his apartment because it was full of drugs and Mulrenin had a previous VOP and had just drugged a hooker and was involved in money laundering. Mulrenin likely preferred to stop the bleeding and drive to the hospital. The gloves were found discarded along Mulrenin's apparent path to the balcony.

A man who is shot while fleeing off a balcony, does not have time to stop and bleed on gloves or a sofa before he goes over. They threw away the sofa, after staging a bullet in front of the love seat to hide that Mulrenin sat in the recliner and bled. They found three surgical gloves with blood by the field dressing which had been torn off a large man's hands, but those gloves disappeared. They hid the gloves that were used to dress the wound, and instead lied and said they got fake blood and wearer DNA off some gloves the boyfriend Love used at work. Police hid the gloves from Mulrenin's apartment, those gloves disappeared after police found them. They coached their witnesses to lie that they heard a gunshot and Mulrenin was shot while fleeing. They then took DNA off some other gloves, and straight told a ridiculous lie at trial that there were gloves with Love's DNA on the inside and Mulrenin's blood on the outside. ASPD CSI Alison Smolarek instead lied brazenly at trial, to say they found blood and "wearer DNA" on some separate gloves found in Jackson's car.

ASPD also staged some credit cards and other incriminating items "in plain sight" in Mulrenin's car to get a search warrant, staged a gun under girls' clothes, and collected and tested evidence selectively, to protect their narrative and avoid producing the truth about what happened that night. ASPD and also Orange County deputy sheriffs lied about and hid where Jackson and Love were when they were arrested, to give cover to staging the items in Jackson's car to get a search warrant.

A fellow stripper Neisha Cintron made friends with Jackson, and almost blew up the whole thing. She loaned Jackson a green thong bottom because Mandi was on her period, which also would have explained why Jackson went to her car after being at Mulrenin's apartment for a while. Cintron smoked weed with Jackson at Dollhouse. Cintron saw Mulrenin kissing Jackson, and learned that they were friends. Cintron saw Mulrenin tell Jackson to change dresses twice. The last thing Jackson did after closing, was buy a new dress from Cintron to wear the next day, because manager Mulrenin did not like the two dresses Jackson already had. Upon learning Cintron would not be there the next day, Jackson gave Cintron her real name and phone number to stay in touch. Plaintiff overheard the State Attorney tell Cintron to lie about all that, and instead testify to a fake incriminating story.

Jackson also applied two nights, and used not only her real name, but her father's real name and phone number as an emergency contact on both applications. (Contrary to some hearsay, Jackson did not have or need an Orange County business tax license to work as a stripper.) None of this fits with a plan to rob the manager. But police and prosecutors coached Cintron and Mellinger and many other witnesses at Dollhouse and Stars to hide all this, and hide that Jackson was at the strip clubs on previous nights, and hide that people knew her, and hide that what she was involved in was not robbing anyone. They framed Jackson for the murder of her boss, and hid the reality that he forced to come to his house and then drugged her.
