A detective wrote Kitchings contradicted his own statements several times during the interview.
Kitchings told police the woman wrote her phone number on a piece of paper down for him. Officers said they don’t believe this to be true because they never found the paper.
Kitchings said the woman was "very attractive" and the two had “normal intercourse”.
