Key Findings

- SPELLING NOTE, which is why earlier searches found nothing: the transcript spells her first name MARIKA, this record spells it MARIJKE. Anyone searching either corpus or transcripts on the record's spelling gets zero hits. The 27 August 2019 hearing testimony quoted in this record is not among our transcripts and still needs its own source.
