He gave a name, but said he wasn't sure if it was correct or where the victim might be now.The officer Collins spoke to said he didn't believe a crime had occurred, but if it did - 42-years-later, the statute of limitations has expired.Collins then asked for psychiatric care and was directed to Cascadia Mental Health.Cascadia has yet to confirm whether Collins turned-up for treatment or whether he received help. Collins was shot Monday at the Hoyt Arobretum.
