Homicide Detectives located and interviewed W-2. W-2 stated IT saw the decedent on
Friday, November 26, 2010, when IT drove the decedent from Prince George's County,
Maryland, to Washington, D.C. W-2 stated IT last saw the decedent between 10:00 a.m. to 11:00
a.m. in the 3500 block of Georgia Avenue, Northwest. W-2 stated that the decedent informed IT
that she was going to meet her father, Rodney Mc Intyre, as previously discussed with W-1 (the
decedent's mother). W-2 stated that the decedent was to return to the 3500 block of Georgia
Avenue, Northwest, to be taken back home in Prince George's County, Maryland. W-2 also
reported that the decedent never returned to meet back up with IT, and that W-2 returned to the
decedent's home in Prince George's County, Maryland, alone.

The Decedent's Cell Phone Records:


Family members advised your Affiant that, prior to the decedent's death, she possessed a
cell phone with the number (240) 528-0679 (which is serviced by T-Mobile). Family members
and associates of the decedent had called or received phone calls to/from the decedent on Friday,
November 26th, 2010. Specifically, your Affiant interviewed a witness who spoke to the
decedent on Friday, November 26, 2010, three days before her remains were found, by calling
the decedent's cell phone at (240) 528-0679, and speaking with her.

Thereafter, your Affiant obtained a D.C. Superior Court Search Warrant for the
decedent's cell phone. Your Affiant examined the decedent's call detail records and cell site
records, which confirmed that the phone was making and receiving daily cell phone
transmissions before, during, and after the decedent was reported missing by her mother on
Friday, November 26, 2010.

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

As mentioned above, W-1 reported that she spoke with the decedent by phone on Friday
morning, November 26, 2010. Your Affiant examined the decedent's cell phone records and
confirmed that two phone calls were made between these two phones: the first at approximately
11:43 a.m., and the second at 11:53 a.m.

Homicide detectives located and interviewed W-3. W-3 stated IT had daily cell phone
conversations with the decedent prior to and on the day of Friday, November 26, 2010. Your
Affiant examined the decedent's cell phone records. The examination confirmed W-3's
information and revealed the decedent called W-3 on Friday, November 26, 2010, at
approximately 12:04 p.m. This is the last contact detectives have been able to confirm between
the decedent and any other person.

W-2 stated that on Saturday, November 27, 2010, at approximately 08:10 a.m., IT
received several texts on ITs' cell phone, (XXX) XXX-7745, from the decedent's cell phone.
The texts inquired if the decedent's mother was upset about the decedent not coming home on
Friday, November 26, 2010. W-2 stated the decedent has never texted with W-2 prior to
Saturday, November 27, 2010. W-2 also stated an unknown male called W-2's cell phone from
the decedent's cell phone stating the decedent was running away from home.

Your affiant has reviewed W-2's cell phone records, which confirm the existence of the
Saturday, November 27, 2010, text messages and cell phone calls. Moreover, W-2 is listed in the
decedent's cell phone by a family-known name, making it appear that the individual sending
these texts and making this call had to have had personal knowledge about the decedent's family
and associates.

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

On Sunday, November 28, 2010, at approximately 8:46 a.m., W-1 received a text
message from the decedent's cell phone stating, "Remember.the.bitch.told.on.my.man.now.
yoo.get.her.out.the.trash."

Finally, a review of the cell cite data for the decedent’s phone shows no instance – after
the last confirmed contact with W-3 at 12:04 p.m. on November 26, 2010 – in which the
decedent’s phone utilized cell towers outside of the District of Columbia.

First Interview with the Decedent's Father, Rodney Mc Intyre:


On Friday, December 3, 2010, your Affiant interviewed Rodney Mc Intyre. Mr. Mc
Intyre initially stated that he and W-1 (the decedent's mother) agreed he would meet the decedent
on Friday, November 26, 2010, to give the decedent her Christmas gifts. During the
conversation, Mr. Mc Intyre stated that he and the decedent's mother had a disagreement because
he did not understand why the decedent had to go back home and complete her chores. Mr. Mc
Intyre also stated that he told W-1 that the decedent was not, in fact, going to spend the weekend
with him. He informed W-1 that the decedent was actually planning to spend the weekend with
her boyfriend.

During this first interview, Mr. Mc Intyre also stated he spoke with the decedent on
Friday, November 26, 2010, around noon time. Mr. Mc Intyre said he told the decedent to meet
him at 1:00 p.m. in front of the Target Department store located in the 3100 block of 14th Street,
Northwest. Mr. Mc Intyre stated that the decedent was supposed to call him on his cell phone
when she was ready. Although the two were to meet at 1:00 p.m., Mr. Mc Intyre stated he never
went to meet the decedent at Target because the decedent never called him. Instead, Mr. Mc
Intyre stated that he remained at 3327 Brothers Place, Southeast, and did not go to the Northwest
section of D.C. until Sunday.
The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

Follow-Up Investigation With Other Witnesses:


Your Affiant spoke again with W-1 after interviewing Mr. Mc Intyre. W-1 stated that IT
and Mr. Mc Intyre never had a conversation about the decedent spending the weekend with her
boyfriend. W-1 reiterated that the agreement was that the decedent was to meet with Rodney Mc
Intyre after doing a lady's hair. The decedent was to get her Christmas gifts and meet back with
W-2 in the 3500 block of Georgia Avenue, Northwest, to come home and do her chores. After
the decedent completed her chores, W-1 and W-2 were to take the decedent to meet Rodney Mc
Intyre, where the decedent was to stay the weekend.

Detectives also located and interviewed another witness, hereafter referred to as W-4.
W-4 stated that IT had a conversation with Rodney Mc Intyre on or about November 27, 2010,
after the decedent was reported missing. IT stated that Mr. Mc Intyre told it that the decedent
had told him she was coming "Uptown" (referring to the Northwest area of Washington, D.C.) to
do a lady's hair but the lady changed her mind. According to W-4, Mr. Mc Intyre told the
decedent to stay home and not to come "Uptown".

Detectives located and interviewed another witness, hereafter referred to as W-5. W-5
stated that IT had a conversation with Rodney Mc Intyre on or about November 26, 2010, after
the decedent was reported missing. W-5 stated that Mr. Mc Intyre told IT he received a phone
call from the decedent. The decedent told Mr. Mc Intyre that she had told W-1 (her mother) that
she was going to spend the weekend with him. According to his report to W-5, Mr. Mc Intyre
told the decedent not to lie to her mother. Mr. Mc Intyre indicated to W-5 that he had no plans
to meet with the decedent for the weekend.

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

W-5 additionally stated Mr. Mc Intyre reported that he and the decedent used to argue all
the time. W-5 recalled a conversation IT had with Mr. Mc Intyre about a previous argument
between the decedent and Mr. Mc Intyre. Mr. Mc Intyre told W-5 that, during a phone
conversation with the decedent, he inquired about rumors of a sexual relationship between W-2
and the decedent. Mr. Mc Intyre stated the decedent retorted, "You are just upset because you
aren't getting it." Mr. Mc Intyre then explained to W-5 that because of the decedent's physical
development, the decedent could get any man she wanted.

As stated above, detectives also interviewed W-3, who reported that the decedent had
made plans to spend the weekend together with IT. According to W-3, IT last spoke to the
decedent on Friday, November 26, 2010, at approximately 12:04 p.m. W-3 stated that IT did not
see the decedent that weekend at all. A review of W-3's call detail records confirms this report,
and a review of W-3's cell site records establishes that IT was nowhere near the location where
the body was found during the period between Friday, November 26, 2010, and Monday,
November 29, 2010.

Detectives located and interviewed W-6. W-6 stated that a few days prior to November
26, 2010, Mr. Mc Intyre and IT were together outside in the 2500 block of 11th Street, N.W.,
when they saw the decedent and engaged in a brief conversation. W-6 noted in a more recent
conversation with Mr. Mc Intyre, that Mr. Mc Intyre asked W-6 not to tell detectives that IT saw
him (Mr. Mc Intyre) with the decedent days prior to November 26, 2010. Mr. Mc Intyre also told
W-6 not to tell detectives that the decedent previously resided with him.

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

Additionally, detectives located and interviewed W-7. W-7 reported that it employed
Mr. Mc Intyre as a custodian at Keely's Boxing Gym, located at 2501 11th Street, Norhtwest,
within a block of where the decedent's body. W-7 reported that Mr. McIntyre had access to the
gym because he had his own set of keys. W-7 further reported that Mr. Mc Intyre returned his
keys to W-7 on December 8, 2010.

Rodney Mc Intyre's Cell Phone Records:


During his initial interview, Mr. Mc Intyre provided your Affiant with two cell phone
numbers: (202) 361-2424 and (202) 534-5925. Mr. Mc Intyre stated that he had lost the (202)
534-5925 cell phone in late October, and that he did not have access to the phone until he
received the replacement phone late in the evening on Saturday, November 27, 2010.

Contact Between the Decendent and Rodney Mc Intyre on November 26, 2010 until
12:25 p.m.:
Your Affiant and Federal Law Enforcement Forensic Electronic Analysis
examined Mr. Mc Intyre's and the decedent's cell phone records. The examination for his
cell phone numbered (202) 361-2424 revealed daily contact between Mr. Mc Intyre and
the decedent prior to and on Friday, November 26, 2010. Specifically, the examination
revealed that on Friday, November 26, 2010, the decedent called Mr. Mc Intyre three
times on the phone numbered (202) 361-2424. The first call was at 08:41 a.m. between
the decedent and Mr. Mc Intyre. The third call was placed at 10:57 a.m. Your affiant
also examined the cell site data for Mr. Mc Intyre’s phone, which indicates that the phone
was hitting off or cell towers in the the Northwest area, just south of the 3500 block of
Georgia Avenue, Northwest, until at least 8:48 a.m.

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

Your affiant also examined cell site data for the decedent's phone during this time frame.
That data indicates that her cell phone was also in the Northwest area. Moreover the cell site data
shows that during the third phone call between Mr. Mc Intyre and the decedent, made at 10:57
a.m., both cell phones are hitting off of the same tower - in the Columbia Heights area -- while
they are communicating.

A forensic examination of the decedent's cell phone and cell site transmissions on
Friday, November 26, 2010, between 10:57 a.m. and 12:04 p.m. show that all calls made
by her began and terminated in the Columbia Heights area, hitting off of the same cell
tower as the defendant's 10:57 a.m.call. Thereafter, the decedent's cell phone and cell site
data transmissions terminated in the Columbia Heights area.

The cell tower in the Columbia Heights area utilized by the both Mr. Mc Intyre’s
phone and the decedent’s phone were made in close proximity to where the decedent's
body was found and Keely's Boxing Gym, where Mr. Mc Intyre worked, which is less
than a block away.

Contact Between the Decendent and Rodney Mc Intyre November 26,2010, beginning
after 2:51 p.m.

On Friday, November 26, 2010, at approximately 3:21 p.m. (approximately three

during this time frame). The last transmission from the decedent's phone was made on
Saturday, November 27, 2010, at approximately 6:06 p.m., in close proximity to 3327
Brother's Place, Southeast.

Additionally, on Friday, November 26, 2010, at approximately 2:51 p.m., Mr. Mc


Intyre's cell phone, numbered (202) 361-2424, began transmitting data again. All of the
cell site data transmissions were in the Southeast area of Washington, D.C., in close
proximity to 3327 Brothers Place, Southeast.

Mr. Mc Intyre stated he was staying at 3327 Brother Place, Southeast, from
Wednesday, November 22, 2010 until December 1, 2010. The decedent's cell phone has
not been recovered.

Forensic Examination of Mr. Mc Intyre's Second Cell Phone:


The same forensic examination was done for Mr. Mc Intyre's second phone, numbered
(202) 534-5925. Despite his claim that it was lost until late on Saturday, November 27, 2010,
the records revealed daily contact with the decedent prior to Friday, November 26, 2010.
Further investigation revealed Sprint Nextel Corporation records indicate the cell phone number
(202) 534-5925 was transferred to a new cell phone on Saturday, November 27, 2010, and the
cell phone number (202) 534-5925 had daily transmission (voice and text usage) from November
1, 2010 until November 27, 2010.

The forensic analysis for this second phone also revealed that on Saturday, November 27,
2010, between 2:47 p.m. and 4:28 p.m. (approximately 2 hours), Mr. Mc Intyre's cell phone is in
close proximity to where the decedent's body was located. However, Mr. Mc Intyre denied
being in Northwest on Saturday, November 27, 2010. Mr. Mc Intyre states he was at 3327
Brother Place, Southeast, the entire day.

Subsequent Pre-Arrest Interview with the Decedent's Father, Rodney Mc Intyre:


On Sunday, January 30, 2011, your Affiant executed a District of Columbia search
warrant for Mr. Mc Intyre's DNA. Once in the police vehicle after being advised of the search
warrant, Mr. Mc Intyre made a phone call to an unknown person and stated, "I shouldn't have
met him." Thereafter, your Affiant interviewed Mr. Mc Intyre. Mr. Mc Intyre confirmed that
on Friday, November 26, 2010, that he was using the (202) 361-2424 cell phone to communicate
with the decedent. Mr. Mc Intyre said he knew your Affiant had his cell phone records. Mr. Mc
Intyre stated, "I don't care what my cell phone records say, I was in Southeast."

During this same interview with Mr. Mc Intyre, detectives confronted Mr. Mc Intyre with
rumors of him having a sexual relationship with the decedent. Mr. Mc Intyre was asked whether
his DNA would be on the decedent. He replied, "I don't know how I would explain it." Mr. Mc
Intyre said he would not admit to having sex with the decedent to your Affiant, however, he
would admit it to the decedent's mother.

Finally, contrary to the statement of W-7, Mr. Mc Intyre reported that he had returned
the keys to Keely's Boxing Gym to W-7 before Thanksgiving.

DNA Analysis of the Sex Kit from the Decedent


The Metropolitan Police Department Crime Laboratory conducted a forensic examination
on sex kit obtained from the decedent during the autopsy. The DNA examination identified only
a single male DNA profile sample contained within the swabs taken from the decedent's vagina.
The DNA profile obtained from RODNEY Mc INTYRE matched the single source male DNA
profile obtained from the decedent's vagina. Based on information and belief, semen is typically
eliminated from the human vagina of a live human being within 72 hours of sexual intercourse.

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

Post-Arrest Interview of Rodney Mc Intyre


On May 21, 2011, Rodney Mc Intyre was arrested. Thereafter he was advised of his
Miranda rights. After waiving his rights, Mr. Mc Intrye gave a lengthy videotaped statement to
police. During the statement, Mr. Mc Intyre provided a number conflicting statements.

• Mr. Mc Intyre initially stated that he last saw the decedent, together with W-6, on
Tuesday, November 23, 2010, at Keely’s Boxing Gym.

• Mr. Mc Intyre initially reported that he had provided the decedent with a bottle of
his semen, which she was inserting into herself with a turkey baster in order to
become pregnant.

• When confronted with the absurdity of this assertion, Mr. Mc Intyre admitted that
he had sexual relations with the decedent on several occasions, most recently on
Tuesday, November 23, 2010.

• Mr. Mc Intyre was informed that forensic testing had been completed, but was not
told the results of the testing during the interview. He was asked whether there
was any way possible that his DNA would be inside of the decedent.

• Mr. Mc Intyre responded that he knew that sperm did not stay inside of a
woman’s body for more than 3 days, such that it would be impossible for his
DNA to be present because their last sexual contact was on Tuesday, November
23, 2010.

confessed to Detective Littlejohn that he had sex with the decedent on Friday,
November 26, 2010, in the Columbia Heights section of Washington, D.C.

• Thereafter, Mr. Mc Intyre admitted to having taken the decedent phone after this
interlude, which he estimated to occur sometime around 11 a.m. He recalls
hearing her speak with her mother by phone around that time.

• Mr. Mc Intyre stated that he never saw the decedent thereafter, and that he did not
kill her.

• Mr. Mc Intyre admitted to taking the decedent’s phone to 3327 Brother’s Place,
Southeast. While there, he spoke with the decedent’s mother several times. He
also stated that he turned off the decedent’s phone so that she would not hear its
distinctive ring.

• The following day, according to this interview, Mr. Mc Intyre took the phone
back uptown around 2 p.m. and left the phone in an unknown location.

Inconsistent Information Developed in the Course of the Investigation:


On Tuesday, January 11, 2011 your Affiant interviewed a subject that was under arrest.
The subject stated the decedent was stabbed inside of a location in upper Northwest area of
Washington, D.C. and identified a truck to the detectives that the decedent's body was placed
inside of after the murder. The subject provided a name of a 16-year-old suspect. Your Affiant
went to location an obtained consent to search the location. Your Affiant searched the location
and determined this was not the crime scene. The truck identified by the subject had been in the
owner's possession until being reported stolen on Thursday, December 24, 2010. Your Affiant
interviewed a resident of the upper Northwest area location. The resident said the subject was
evicted after being caught using drugs inside of the location.

Additionally, on December 3, 2010, a letter was mailed from a second subject in which a
second subject claimed responsibility for the decedent's murder. Thereafter, this second subject
placed several calls to your Affiant, and to your affiant's partner, Detective Michael Pepperman,
in which the second subject again claimed responsibility for the murder. Thereafter, your
Affiant and Detective Pepperman identified the second subject and interviewed IT. During the
course of that interview, the second subject admitted that IT had not committed the murder, but
had instead wanted to keep the detectives actively involved in the investigation of the case.

Conclusions
In conclusion, based upon the above investigation, facts and circumstances, as specifically
enumerated below, your Affiant respectfully asserts the following:

• On Friday, November 26, 2010, the decedent, Ebony Franklin, age 16, was to
meet her father, Mr. Mc Intyre, in the Columbia Heights area of the District of
Columbia to pick up her Christmas gifts, and then was to meet up with W-2 to
return home.
The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

• Although the decedent was supposed to meet W-2 in the 3500 block of Georgia
Avenue, N.W., to return home to Prince George's County, Maryland, the decedent
did not do so.
• No further communications were received that can be conclusively identified as
having come from the decedent after 12:04 p.m. on November 26, 2010.
• From 12:04 p.m. to 2:51 p.m., no cell site information is available for either the
decedent's phone or Mr. Mc Intyre's (202) 361-2424 phone.
• Thereafter, both the decedent's phone and Mr. Mc Intyre's (202) 361-2424 began
transmitting data again. All of the cell site data transmissions were in the
Southeast area of Washington, D.C., in close proximity to 3327 Brothers Place,
Southeast;
• Mr. Mc Intyre stated he was staying at 3327 Brothers Place, Southeast, from
Wednesday, November 22, 2010 until December 1, 2010;
• On Monday, November 29, 2010, at approximately 1:08 p.m., the decedent was
found in a trashcan outside of 1030 Fairmont Street, N.W.
• Between 12:04 p.m. and the time the body was found, several communications
were sent from the decedent’s phone to her family and friends that could have
only been sent by someone with close familiarity to the decedent and her family.
All indications are that the decedent’s cell phone never left the District of
Columbia during this period.
• The location where the body was found is less than a block from Mr. Mc Intyre's
place of employment.

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

SUPERIOR COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
CRIMINAL DIVISION

UNITED STATES

VS.

RODNEY MC INTYRE
• On Tuesday, November 30, 2010, personnel from the OCME performed an
autopsy on the decedent's remains. Medical staff also completed a sex kit. The
cause of death for the decedent was ruled multiple stab wounds. The manner of
death was ruled HOMICIDE.
• The sex kit was submitted to the MPD forensic laboratory. The DNA
examination identified only a single male DNA profile present in the decedent's
vagina. The DNA examination identified Mr. Mc Intyre's sperm as the single
male DNA profile present in the sample collected from the decedent's vagina.

Finally, during multiple interviews, Mr. Mc Intyre has provided multiple contradictory
statements to police, as detailed above, that have served to interfere with and obstruct the
Metropolitan Police Department’s investigation into the murder of Ebony Franklin.

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.
