It seems implausible that she can't recall the time and place of supposedly the most traumatic event of her life. She wasn't a small child lacking contextual awareness. She was a 15-year old social creature who was responsible for getting herself to certain places at certain times, in school and out.

She would have had acute awareness of when and where immediately after the incident, so why did everything fade away over the years except the identities of her attackers?

I imagine we all can pick out one or two events that were the worst moments in our life, and unless we were toddlers when it happened we know where and when it happened.

The worst moment of my life (up to that time) was a phone call I received Thursday, November 12 1998, at about 17:30. I was standing in an electronics testing area, and the nearest person to me was named B__ T_______. After I hung up he wanted to talk to me about my team of techs, but I had to leave immediately. I remember everything that happened during the rest of that evening, including an unexpected intervention of the Holy Spirit (big time).

I remember the 'worse' worst moment which occured in a conference room with a brain surgeon on June 6, 2007, a Wednesday. I remember the first person I called afterwards, and what I told her. Would that I could forget.

I can even recall exactly the date and place of breaking up with a fiancee on Thursday Nov 18 1993, in a restaurant that has since been turned into a nightclub.

Thursdays in November are something I dread, and I know why, precisely. If Christine in fact had the worst experience of her life in that room, she would know who's house it was and when it happened. I can't see it any other way.

You got that right!

For my parents, it was Pearl Harbor.

For my generation, it was the Assassination of JFK.

For the rest of us alive today, it was 9/11/01.

We remember EVERY DETAIL of the most trau8matic events in our lifetimes.
