” It’s Allison Ozga. A L L I S O N. Last name is O Z G A. ” Um Do you know Lindsay? ” I do. ” How do you know her? How do you know her? ” Lindsay’s my sister. ” And um Can you tell us um Are you close to Lindsay? Are you Do you live near each other? Do you socialize? What type of relationship have you had with her? ” Uh we’re very close.

 We have not lived in the same state for about 10 years now. Um but we do communicate and I do think we’re very close. ” And do you text with her on a regular basis? ” Yes. ” And you talk on the phone, do you? ” Occasionally. ” Um directing your attention to the fall of Well, actually, heading into like Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2022.

[clears throat] Do you remember that time frame? ” Yes. ” And did you uh have occasion [clears throat] to see your sister during that period of time? ” Yes. ” And let’s direct our attention to let’s say Thanksgiving 2022. Had you noticed any change in Lindsay’s personality or any observation of how she appeared to you? ” I will say on Thanksgiving in particular is when the first time I saw her in person after quite some time.

Um I had known she had not been doing well via text message communication that we had. Um ” [snorts] ” I think on Thanksgiving she um you know, her her mood did not look good or energy, you know, she didn’t seem very energized. Um it definitely seemed off from how I’ve seen her in the past. ” And were you aware that uh that carried through from November into December around the holiday season if you had stayed in touch with her? ” Yes.

” And can you tell us what you observed about her around the holiday season as it related to her from your observations and your texting and your communications with Lindsey, how did she appear to you at that point? ” Um, the beginning of December it seemed like she very much decompensated. Um, I do remember her saying at one point at the beginning of December um, something along lines of I’m in a really tough spot um, and knowing what she had shared with me previously about um, how her mental health had been struggling um, I had

this gut feeling that something was off and that she was really struggling and I asked her if she was safe. ” What did she say? ” She said yes at that point. ” And you knew her husband, Pat? ” Yes. ” And you knew the kids? ” Yes. ” Obviously. Um, do you recall around Christmas itself and perhaps a little bit thereafter that you spoke with her and that she indicated basically I’m not doing okay? ” Yes.

” Can you tell the jury what you observed about her demeanor or her symptomatology when you said she was decompensating around that time? Um, what were they symptoms in your mind of? ” Um, based on communication with Lindsey and I started communicating with Pat directly at that time. Um, she was reporting her mood was worsening um, as she described as depression.

Um, her she was having more suicidal thoughts. Um, her she was insomnia continued to be an issue. Um, she was really not feeling like herself. ” And did you know that during that period of time where she was telling you about the suicidal thoughts and the issue of depression that she was seeing doctors? ” Yes.

” And and what did she tell you about seeing the doctors and if she was on any medication and if so, what effect did they have on her? ” The first thing she said about the doctors was back in October when she said that she saw Dr. for Zoloft and had a very awful reaction to that Zoloft. ” Would that be Dr.

 Tufts? ” Um I don’t believe she shared that specific with me. ” share the name? Okay. ” Um and then I think throughout our communication over the couple months of October to December, she did share with me that she was going to doctors, she was getting different prescriptions, kind of all the things that they were trying and different treatments they were looking at.

” And do you recall when you were talking with her about her symptoms towards the end of December that she had in your words decompensated significantly and stated to you that she felt nothing and that she was scared, things of that nature? ” Yes. ” What else did she tell you if you recall? ” Um at the end of December, so I think it was more along the same of, you know, that she is really not feeling well, her mood is down, she’s feeling numb, she’s feeling hopeless.

 Um I believe the very end of the month she told me she had had suicidal ideation every day for a month. ” Do you recall towards the end of the month around New Year’s that she voluntarily admitted herself somewhere? ” Yes. ” Do you know where she admitted herself? ” Uh McLean Hospital. ” And while she was at McLean Hospital, ultimately do you know how she got out of McLean Hospital? ” Uh it was my understanding that she I was weaning off of some medication that she was on and then was eventually discharged 5 days later.

” Now, did you see her or talk to her after she left McLean Hospital trying to wean herself off of whatever medication it was. But you don’t know what the medication was, right? ” I believe it was Sarah Cole. ” Sarah Cole, okay. ” Yep. ” Um did she tell you anything to the effect that when she got out of the hospital that she felt as though this was a step in the right direction? Did she seem as though she was trying to be positive about her life? ” Yes.

” And tell us about that cuz up until this point you would observed her decompensating and ” Mhm. ” having these symptoms and suicidal ideation and depression and feeling nothing and scary. ” Mhm. ” When she got out of McLean, what did she appear to you and what did she say to you? ” [sighs] ” She I believe she said she felt that that was a good plan and that she was starting to feel better.

” So, was your sister, in your opinion, granted she’s your sister and you’re biased obviously, but was she a complainer? ” No. ” And and obviously, she didn’t share with you in detail her doctors and medicines and things of that nature. Is that fair? ” No. ” But you were aware of the struggles and the and the hurt that she was going through.

” Yes. ” And then through the month of January, did you have occasion to see her or were you cuz we you still live in different states? ” Yes. Yes, I did have an occasion to see her in January. ” When? ” We you went to Cora’s birthday party. ” And that was at the trampoline park? ” Yes. ” How did she appear at that? ” [sighs] ” I think she looked like she was going through the motions of putting together birthday party for her daughter.

But she looked tired. She looked like she was still struggling. ” [snorts] ” So, there was a difference in your observation of of what you had known your your sister to have as a personality. ” Yes. ” And then of course the horrible day, were you aware or did somebody call you and tell you that the children had been killed? ” Yes.

” One of them still survived and ultimately passed. ” Yes. ” And do you recall who told you that? ” Yes. ” Who was that? ” My mother. ” And as a result of getting the call from your mother, what did you do? ” I jumped in the car, packed a bag, and I sped up to South Shore Hospital, which is where I was told she was.

” Did you see her in South Shore Hospital? ” No. ” Um did you know that she was then transferred to another hospital after South Shore? ” Yes. ” And what hospital was that? ” I believe it’s Brigham and Women’s. ” And were you able to visit her in Brigham and Women’s? ” Yes. ” And did it take some time before they would allow you to visit with her? ” Yes.

” How long, if you know? ” I think it was approximately 2 weeks. ” Okay. And then you were able to see her pretty much on a regular basis? ” Yes. ” And where does Where does your mother and father live? ” In Connecticut. ” And you Are you close to them? ” Yes. ” Can you tell the jury um from the time of of this incident in January 24th of 2023 up until now, 2026 where where have your mother and father been living? ” Uh my parents have been spending the majority of their time up here in Massachusetts.

” Why? ” So that they could visit Lindsay as much as possible. ” Almost on a daily basis? ” Yes. ” Was that in a bed and breakfast or a bed and bath or was it a hotel or where were they staying? ” They’ve been living out of hotels. ” Thank you. That’s all. You can inquire. ” Come on. ” Thank you. Good afternoon.

Now, when Lindsay was at McLean Hospital and she was discharged, did she tell you that she asked to be discharged early to go to Cora’s birthday party? ” [clears throat] ” I can’t recall. ” And um do you recall speaking to the police on January 25th just a day after all happened back in 2023? ” Yes. ” And um do you recall telling them that you saw Lindsey um 2 weeks prior to the 24th, roughly around the birthday party time, and that she seemed okay? ” Yes.

” Do you recall telling the police that you spoke to her in call phone calls many times after she was discharged to McLean, and that her tone in tone of voice in those calls seemed better? ” I did not speak to her on the phone. Most of our communication was via text. ” Okay.

 So, you don’t recall saying that to the police that the tone of Lindsey’s voice in our phone conversations was better the last couple weeks since she had been released from the hospital? ” I believe when I said that I meant her tone her tone via her text messages. ” And so, her tone in her text messages were about was better? ” A bit. ” And do you recall telling police that you spoke to Lindsey on Thursday, January 19th, 2023, and she seemed okay? ” Yes.

” And that was a phone call, correct? ” That was text message. ” Text message, okay. So, when you were saying spoke to to the police, it was you were referring to text messages? ” Correct. ” And so, in that text message, she seemed fine? ” She seemed okay. ” So, she had just been released from McLean Hospital at the beginning of January, and all of your communications after the birthday party were text messages, is that correct? ” I I think the date’s wrong.

” I believe so, yes. ” [snorts] ” Just so we make sure we have the date correct. After she was discharged from McLean in January of 2023, up until January 24th, 2023, all of your communications were via text. ” Yes. ” Did you visit her at her home that month? ” No. ” Did you you didn’t reach out or call her at all, correct? ” I reached out and called, yes.

 I did not visit her at her home, no. ” When you called, did she respond? Did answer the phone? ” I’m sorry, let me backtrack. I I can’t recall whether I made a phone call. I can recall the majority of our communication between January 1st and January 24th was via text message. ” So, there could have been some phone calls? ” I cannot recall any phone calls.

” You are a licensed social worker, correct? ” Correct. ” And you’re a mandated reporter, correct? ” Yes. ” And at any point in time between January 1st, 2023 and January 24th, 2023, did you have enough concern about the safety of the kids or the safety of your sister to file a report as a mandated reporter? ” No.
