Tags: Duke, Lacrosse, Scandal, Rape, Evidence, Trail, Arrested, Players, Crystal, Mangum
The 2006 Duke University lacrosse team scandal began in March 2006 when three members of Duke University's men's lacrosse team were accused of raping Crystal Gail Mangum during a party held at the residence of two of the team captains. This led to the indictment of three players: David Evans of Bethesda, Maryland, Reade Seligmann of Essex Fells, New Jersey, and Collin Finnerty of Garden City, New York were charged with first degree forcible rape, first degree sexual offense, and kidnapping. Here is the actual timeline:
| | 11:30 p.m. - Approximate time, according to a Durham police warrant, of the two exotic dancers' arrival at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. |
| | 11:50 p.m. - Neighbor Jason Bissey told the Raleigh News and Observer that he saw two women walk to the back of the house, where they were greeted by a man. |
| | 12:00 a.m. - Bissey sees the two women enter the house. |
| | 12:02 a.m. - A time-stamped photo provided by defense attorneys shows women dancing in front of the lacrosse players. |
| | 12:03 a.m. - Another photo shows both dancers leaving the party. |
| | 12:03 a.m.-12:30 a.m. - There is a 27-minute gap where no photos were taken. |
| | 12:07, 12:14 a.m. - Phone bills indicate two outgoing calls are made from sophomore Reade Seligmann's cell phone. |
| | Sometime before 12:24 a.m. - A taxi driver has said in a written statement that he picked up Seligmann and a friend a block and a half away from the party. |
| | 12:24 a.m. - Seligmann's ATM card is used at a Wachovia bank. The taxi driver confirmed that he drove Seligmann and his friend to a bank and fast food restaurant before taking them to West Campus. |
| | 12:25 a.m. - Seligmann calls his girlfriend, another Duke sophomore, on his cell phone. |
| | 12:20 a.m.-12:30 a.m. - Bissey told the Durham Herald-Sun he saw the women leave the house during this period, only to try to go back inside to retrieve a missing shoe. |
| | 12:30 a.m. - A time-stamped photo shows the accuser, wearing only one shoe, rifling through her purse and apparently smiling on the back porch of 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. |
| | 12:37 a.m. - A photo shows the woman lying on her side on the porch, apparently passed out. |
| | 12:41 a.m. - A photo shows the woman sitting in the passenger seat of a car with the door open. |
| | 12:45 a.m.-1:00 a.m. - Bissey said he saw the two dancers leave in a car sometime during this time period. He said he saw one man standing adjacent to the East Campus wall, shout "Thank your grandpa for my nice cotton shirt." He added that he saw the players leave the residence shortly thereafter |
| | 12:46 a.m. - Seligmann's DukeCard is used to gain access to his Edens dormitory. |
| | 12:53 a.m. - The second dancer calls 911, saying white men who came out of 610 N. Buchanan yelled "nigger" at her from near the East Campus wall. Defense attorneys have questioned inconsistencies in the call - the caller first said she was driving, and later said she was walking when the slur was yelled. |
| | 12:55 a.m. - Durham Police Department officers arrive at a quiet 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. They saw there was evidence of a party, but nobody answered the door when the officers arrived. |
| | 1:22 a.m. - A female grocery clerk at a Kroger located on Hillsborough Road calls 911, saying "There's a lady in someone else's car, and she will not get out.... She's like, intoxicated, drunk or something." |
| | 1:30 a.m. - The police officer who came to respond to the Kroger call tells a dispatcher that the accuser does not need medical attention, adding, "She's not in distress. She's just passed-out drunk." |
| | 1:58 a.m. - An e-mail sent from the Duke account of sophomore lacrosse player Ryan McFadyen discusses hiring strippers and "killing the bitches." |
