New investigation with ‘fresh set of eyes’
Carter Hart’s lawyer, Riaz Sayani, is now questioning Ryan, the detective.
On July 20, 2022, Ryan went to E.M.’s house between 8:44 a.m. and 9:22 a.m. ET to tell her the investigation by London police was being reopened.
Ryan says she told E.M. she was “looking at the investigation with a fresh set of eyes.”
Sayani asks Ryan about a phone call on July 28, 2022, in which she spoke to E.M. about her statement to Hockey Canada.
Sayani suggests to Ryan there were “significant differences” between that statement and her initial 2018 police interview.
Ryan says that in the 2018 statement, E.M. appeared to be “self-blaming and not sure if what happened was wrong,” but in the Hockey Canada statement, “she seems to understand how she felt and that what happened in that room was wrong.”
It was an important difference, Ryan tells Sayani.
