After taking a taxi home about 5:30 a.m., Sullivan said she gave Leaona a cup of juice. She said she also looked in on her again at 6:30 a.m. When she woke up at 9:30 a.m., Sullivan said, Jones told her that A'riel (3-year-old daughter) was standing in an open door to the apartment and that Leaona was gone."
