She states she thought he was going to kill her because she was on the verge of losing consciousness and couldn't breathe, talk or yell. During the assault, she tried to run for the door, but Martinez, grabbed her and stopped her from leaving the apartment. Martinez told her he needed to tie her up so he could leave, but she told him to just take whatever he wanted and leave. Martinez took $20 out of her wallet and her car keys and drove away in her car. ‘The statement of Aimee Stock that she was parking her car when she saw a man get into Hailey Dering’s car and drive away.
