"She saw the lights go out, and that's just all she can remember. She said she almost died," said Wilson.
Moynan vanished in the spring of 2019.
A co-worker testified that Moynan was a "no show" for a shift, which was "very unusual."

Wilson said Moynan would never abandon her children.
"She made sure those girls had joy, there was fun," said Wilson.
Moynan did have a protective order out against Sluss.
