But she did not identify Kevin Strickland, who she knew, at the scene until a day later, after it was suggested to her that Kevin Strickland’s hair matched Douglas’ description of the shooter. Douglas claimed her initial failure to identify him was due to the use of cognac and marijuana, however over the past 30 years she said she made a mistake and falsely identified Kevin Strickland.
