“Yeah. So I saw a truck, which was Julie Nagel's brother's truck, I believe. And that was a little ways, almost like in front of the driveway of the house. And then a little ways in front of it, there was another car that I hadn't recognized before. It was a dark SUV-ish. And that's all I knew about it and could see about it.”

He described the unfamiliar vehicle he saw outside the house and the limits of his observation.

“Yeah. So the first time I looked, I would say it was closer towards the mailbox, maybe a little bit in front of the mailbox. And then the second time, the last time I looked out the window, it had moved further down, closer to, I'll say, the flagpole. So closer that way. It went down that way towards the flagpole.”

He testified that the unfamiliar SUV appeared in two different positions during his observations.

“Okay. If I said that, yes, because I was not sure. I'm still not sure if he was there or not.”

Albert acknowledged uncertainty about whether Brian Higgins was present when he looked out the window.

“Sure.”

Albert agreed that his conclusion about the sequence of Higgins's and his father's departures was based on an assumption.

“I'm just an anxious person, and I got overwhelmed. I think most people would be overwhelmed in that situation.”

Albert explained why he said he did not want to look outside on the morning of January 29.
