Somebody here pointed out that the Father's statement is in contradiction to the Brian Taylor's. One (or both) is lying.

I think the Father claimed he was with Crystal until 9:30 and Brian Taylor says she was AT his house at 9:00.

Someone may have already pointed this out again, if so, sorry.

We can't expect investigative journalists to compare and contrast these stories and then report on the contradictions.

Good catch, Mike. I believe her father said she was having some grapefruit juice while there.

I was going to mention that, but I was too hung up on her need to call daddy for directions.

Someone sent her there...someone called and told her to hurry...why didn't she ask the someone for directions?...why involve daddy and then pretend she didn't want him to know? Why did daddy say he didn't know it was her until he saw her name in the papers?

I think the father is hiding something. That's just my opinion.

I posted their stories here:

What a shocker ... the driver's and father's stories don't jive.

Question: Who are they protecting by claiming they both don't know how the AV got to the driver's house?

Brian Taylor, who met the accuser at a Super Bowl party two years ago, said he spent an hour and a half with her before driving her to the party where she was hired to dance.

"She had called me a few hours earlier, asking me if she could use my place to get ready," Taylor said Friday.

Taylor said he did not know how the woman, a 27-year-old N.C. Central University student with two children, got to his home March 13. But he said that when she arrived about 9 p.m., he noticed nothing unusual about her demeanor. He did not say whether they consumed any alcohol.

Taylor had known for a while that his guest was a dancer. He and a male friend had watched her perform at clubs in Smithfield and Hillsborough.

As he sat in front of his PlayStation console March 13, the accuser showered behind a closed door and modeled at least two negligees for her host, he said.

"She asked my opinion," he said. "The first one was this black outfit, and I said, 'No.' When she came out in the red one I said, 'That's better.' "

It was 10:45 p.m., Taylor estimated, when they left for 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.

Where accuser went

On March 24, in her only interview with a reporter, the accuser said she was notified about 8:30 p.m. the night of the party that she was supposed to appear at the Buchanan Boulevard house about 11 p.m.

In an interview earlier this week, her father said he saw his daughter a few times March 13. That afternoon, he said, she picked up her two children from elementary school. About 9:30 p.m., he said, she brought the children to their grandparents' house for the evening.

"She was fine," he said.

After their arrival, he and his daughter took a short car ride about 10 p.m. to a neighborhood convenience store at Cornwallis Road and South Roxboro Street. He bought a pack of cigarettes but said he did not recall what his daughter purchased.

When the two returned to his house, the woman said she had to go out and wouldn't return until 1:30 a.m. He said he does not know whether she left in her own car or someone picked her up. He said she did call him to say she safely reached her destination -- about 11:30 p.m., about the start of a late-night talk show he was watching.
