It's the morning of Jan. 26, 2022. Sarah Harris, 25, lies unresponsive on the floor of the home she shares with her boyfriend, 48-year-old Dr. James Ryan. She is found in the living room, which is in disarray. Ryan tearfully talks with Montgomery County, Maryland, police at the scene. The conversation is recorded on a body camera as they ask him about the night before: DR. JAMES RYAN (bodycam video): … and I did CPR and brought her back. JAMES RYAN (bodycam video): She used to take propofol too, she used to steal that from my office. JAMES RYAN (bodycam video): I've caught her before with, um, like injecting herself with things. SARAH HARRIS (voicemail): I just hope that you're happy that I'm with someone who truly, truly loves me … In October 2021: "do we have ketamine here" In November: "we need syringes … I feel like s***."
FIRST RESPONDER (bodycam video): Was she sleeping on the couch last night? JAMES RYAN (bodycam video): She was bipolar also, so she could be really angry or could be really happy. SARAH HARRIS (voicemail): I've never trusted anybody as much as I've trusted the man that I'm with right now professionally, emotionally … you never let me in that way. … In December: "I just really need … sleep" she writes. "xan (sic) you bring propofol"
DR. JAMES RYAN: Yes. She would do that sometimes (crying).
