LAKE STEVENS — A high-stakes interview between the woman suspected of abusing four toddlers and a detective known for nailing sex predators; a lie detector test taken and reportedly failed; and interview transcripts showing management hemming and hawing over reputational concerns when – according to the law – they should’ve been contacting law enforcement.
