The Camry that picked up Jane Doe on Del Playa belonged to Mia Wolfson, who, like Doe, was a university freshman. They lived on the same floor of the Francisco Torres dorm and had become friends since meeting the previous August, as had another freshman on the same floor, Lakshmi (“Munni”) Krishna, whom Doe had called. “I need you to come pick me up. I’m in big trouble,” she’d said, according to what Krishna told Deputy Rivlin.
Both Wolfson and Krishna, along with Doe’s 24-year-old sister who was visiting from San Francisco, had been out that night, walking with Doe from get-together to get-together in Isla Vista. The drinking had started early, with shots of vodka at the dorm, followed by beer and rum and perhaps some other alcohols at, first, Colin M.’s, a friend from high school, and then at Steve Ramajad’s, a friend of Doe’s boyfriend.
