Sworn before a notary public under penalty of perjury, Jessica Markle states: she was injured in the collision and repeatedly requested ambulance transport. Officers gave her a choice — ambulance immediately, or stay with the vehicle and property. She was told no officer could guarantee the safety of the inventory if she left. She rode in a tow truck with an unknown driver to protect the property.

After the tow yard, a law enforcement officer transported her and dropped her off at Buffalo Bill’s Casino, across the Nevada state line — without ambulance transport, without a Nevada Highway Patrol officer present, and without any arrangements for medical care. She was left to find her own way while injured and in possession of significant personal property.

Lyft would not make the trip — the distance from Primm to Las Vegas was too far. Jessica hitchhiked approximately six hours from Primm, Nevada back to Las Vegas carrying three duffel bags and a rolling cooler containing numismatic inventory. While Josh was in emergency surgery at UMC. The doctor told him on a gurney: if the fluid is blood, you will die without surgery. He signed consent and went under.

“This is a sworn statement. Notarized. Under penalty of perjury. None of what she describes — the forced choice, the tow truck, the casino dropoff, the six-hour hitchhike — appears anywhere in the CHP report.”

Prepared by Officer L. Purther and reviewed by Officer M. Vargas on March 13, 2025 — 17 months after the October 11, 2024 collision — this supplemental exists for one stated purpose: to add Josh’s written statement to the record. Josh invoked California Vehicle Code §20013 and submitted his account under penalty of perjury.

His statement describes waking up to Jessica’s scream. A semi truck moving from the right lane into the left. The other semi at a complete stop. The semi’s outline frozen against the skyline — dead still, no forward motion, no moving foliage — just stillness. He had 3 to 4 full seconds of visual clarity before impact. He remembers thinking: This is how I die. But I’m not done yet.

The Harley broke free of four brand-new 10,000-lb ratchet straps and went over the cab. Coins scattered across the truck and the highway. The engine was pushed all the way into the cab. He stepped out, fell to the ground in agony, and trusted that law enforcement and EMTs would care for Jessica. He was airlifted. The doctor told him on a gurney: if the fluid is blood, you will die without surgery. He signed consent and went under.

“The officer who prepared this supplemental is the same officer whose partner authored the original report that omits the Harley, lists no injuries, and says nothing about what happened to Jessica. The supplemental was filed 17 months later. It adds Josh’s statement. It still doesn’t mention the Harley.”

These photographs were taken on October 19 and October 23, 2024 — eight and twelve days after the collision. They show the post-operative surgical incision running the full length of Josh’s abdomen, stapled shut. The surgeon told him on a gurney while being wheeled to the operating room that the fluid in his abdominal cavity was either water or blood — and if blood, he would die without the surgery he was about to consent to.

He signed the consent form. He went under. He woke up. These photos document what that looked like eight days later. The CHP report filed on October 11, 2024 — the same day — classifies the injury status as: No Injury.

“No injury. These are the photographs from eight and twelve days after the collision CHP said caused no injuries. The report is signed by L. Purther and reviewed by M. Vargas. Both of their names are on the document that says this man was not injured.”

This photograph was taken by Joshua Markle from the back seat of a police cruiser at the tow yard on October 11, 2024 at 12:31 PM. Through the window, the damaged white F-150 rental is visible. In the foreground — a dark bag with yellow markings, sitting in the back seat of that police car.

Lyft would not make the trip — the distance from Primm to Las Vegas was too far. This is the Lyft receipt. Jessica attempted to book a ride. Lyft declined the trip as too far. She then hitchhiked approximately six hours back to Las Vegas carrying three duffel bags and a rolling cooler containing numismatic inventory. While Josh was in emergency surgery at UMC. The CAD log entry at 12:57 PM confirms law enforcement transport ending at Buffalo Bills. The Lyft screenshot confirms she was still there at 4:58 PM — nearly five hours later — still trying to get home.

“She labeled it herself. In real time. On the day it happened. Before any lawsuit, before any claim, before anyone had any reason to document anything. ‘Jessica Abandoned by CHP.’ That is the caption on this screenshot. She took it at a casino in Nevada while her husband was in emergency surgery in California.”

This image captures the scene on I-15 Southbound on October 11, 2024. Josh is visible on a gurney being loaded for transport. A CHP officer is standing in the foreground with a clipboard. Look at the officer’s chest — a body-worn camera device is visible.

Now read CHP’s official response from the Custodian of Records, April 4, 2025 — Exhibit I of this archive: “No footage or body cam related recordings exist because the involved officer has not been issued one by the Department and did not possess or utilize a personally-owned body-worn camera.”

The officer in this photograph is at this scene. There is a device on his chest. CHP’s official written position is that no body cam existed. That position and this photograph exist in the same case file.

“The Department says no body cam was issued and none was used. This photo was taken at the scene on the day of the collision. The American people can look at the officer’s chest and draw their own conclusions.”

In response to Jessica’s demand for all video footage including body cams, dash cams, and on-scene surveillance, the CHP Barstow Area Custodian of Records responded on April 4, 2025. The Department produced one item: a DVD containing patrol vehicle Mobile Video/Audio Recording System recordings for crash #9835-2024-01013, available for $5.

On the body cam question: “After a diligent search and reasonable inquiry, the CHP Barstow Area has determined there are no ‘body cam,’ ‘body-worn cameras,’ ‘any on-scene surveillance,’ or ‘black box (EDR)’ records in the Department’s possession… no footage or body cam related recordings exist because the involved officer has not been issued one by the Department and did not possess or utilize a personally-owned body-worn camera.”

“The only recording is the patrol vehicle dashcam on a $5 DVD. No body cam. No surveillance. No EDR. The same dashcam footage that would show what happened with the bag, what happened with the Harley, and what happened to Jessica. That DVD exists. It has never been produced in any legal proceeding.”

On December 29, 2025 — the same day Officer D. Perez of CHP Barstow Area emailed the redacted CAD dispatch log — this audio was recorded. Officer Perez confirms that Jessica was transported across the Nevada state line and dropped at Buffalo Bill’s Casino. His statements contain multiple contradictions to applicable law governing the transport and care of injured civilians at traffic collision scenes.

This recording, combined with the CAD log entry at 12:57 PM confirming the casino dropoff, and Jessica’s sworn affidavit, and the Lyft screenshot captioned “Jessica Abandoned by CHP” — establishes the casino dropoff as a fact confirmed by three independent sources including the officer’s own words.

“Officer Perez provided the CAD log and this audio on the same day. The CAD log says Buffalo Bills at 12:57. The audio confirms the transport. The sworn affidavit describes what it was like to be the person in that car. All three exist. None of it is in the report.”
