Wichita ? The sole survivor of a quadruple killing on Wednesday identified in court brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr as the armed intruders who terrorized the five friends in December 2000.

The courtroom identification was a major setback for the defense of Reginald Carr because the woman had been able to identify only his brother during a preliminary hearing last year.

She told jurors she had been unable at that time to identify Reginald Carr because he had changed his appearance since the attacks. He had shaved his head and intermittently wore glasses at the hearing.

But in photos shown to her at the hospital just hours after the shootings, the woman picked out both men as the intruders who drove the group to a soccer field on Dec. 15, 2000, and shot them all, according to testimony and evidence presented Wednesday.

The Carrs are on trial in Sedgwick County District Court charged with 113 criminal acts stemming from a nine-day rampage that left five people dead. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Most of the charges stem from the events of Dec. 14-15, 2000, when five people were abducted from a Wichita home, forced to engage in sexual acts and to withdraw money from automatic teller machines and were then shot. Killed were Aaron Sander, 29; Heather Muller, 25; Brad Heyka, 27; and Jason Befort, 26.

The survivor Befort’s girlfriend, then a 25-year-old teacher ran naked through the snow for nearly a mile for help.

The other charges against the Carrs involve the Dec. 11, 2000, shooting of Ann Walenta, 55, who later died, and the Dec. 7, 2000, robbery in which Andrew Schreiber was abducted and forced to withdraw cash from an ATM.

Family members of the victims listen to testimony of the only survivor of a quadruple slaying that brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr are standing trial for in Sedgwick County District Court in Wichita. The testimony was offered Wednesday.

Shootings described

On Wednesday, jurors heard for the first time the survivor’s emotional description of how the five friends were forced to kneel next to one another on the snow-covered soccer field. She was at one end next to Befort.

“As I was kneeling, there was a shot. And I don’t remember, we were all screaming, but I can remember hearing Aaron say, ‘please no’ he used the word ‘sir.’ There was another one, and another one, and then another one, and then everything kind of went gray as I was shot,” she said.

She felt the impact of the bullet, but did not fall forward until one of the men kicked her, she said. The woman told jurors she saw stars much like the points of light a person sees upon closing his eyes.

She said she then heard the men get into the truck and felt the impact when the truck was driven over her. She said she waited until she could no longer see headlights before she got up to check on her friends to see if they were alive.

At that point in her testimony the woman had trouble continuing. But she regained her composure sufficiently to resume.

“I went to Jason,” she said. “I rolled him over. He had blood coming out of one of his eyes. I still had on my sweater and I took it off and tied it around his head to act as a tourniquet to try to stop it.”

‘Keep running’

After checking on her friends, the woman, said she ran naked through the snow to a subdivision where she could see lights about a mile away.

“I was running and at one point stopped for just a minute because I didn’t think I could continue,” she said. “I gave myself a little pep talk, said I needed to keep running.”

In earlier testimony, the young woman described how the five were forced to engage in sexual acts with one another and how the two women were raped.

The woman also acknowledged she was frightened as she waited with her friends in one of the bedroom closets as the attacks on the others were going on.

“I had actually urinated in the closet,” she testified. “From fright.”

On Wednesday afternoon, the survivor was cross-examined at length by John Val Wachtel, attorney for Reginald Carr.

He focused on her identification of the attackers to various investigators, and the times during the three-hour ordeal when she got glimpses of the intruders.

Attorneys for Jonathan Carr did not question her. Prosecutors told the judge they may call her back to the witness stand later in the trial.

Barbara Siwek, crime scene investigator for the Wichita Police Department, was called late Wednesday to testify about evidence she collected at the home where the attacks took place. Prosecutors displayed dozens of photos taken at the ransacked house, showing clothes strewn about, closets emptied and lights broken.

Wrapping paper had been torn off some gifts found underneath the Christmas tree.
