* InnocentAwkwardQuestion: Katie has Williams syndrome, which gives her limited intelligence but extremely good hearing and near-perfect aural recall. The latter allows her to remember everything the assailant said in graphic detail before the assault, but also means that the noise scared her, so she was unable to see the assailant's face. When they bring their most likely suspect in front of Katie, she says that he doesn't sound like the man who assaulted her mom, and the detectives are stumped... up until the suspect's son says something, and the little girl immediately makes a beeline for him and demands to know why he called her mother a bitch, [[InnocentInaccurate since that's a word for a female dog]].
