WARWICK -- During a 1 a.m. phone conversation on the day police would later find Kelly Ann Anderson dead in Brian Mlyniec's house, a childhood friend told Mlyniec to make another phone call: 9-1-1. Bill Healey testified in Mlyniec's murder trial today that Mlyniec said he did not want the police to come over to his house. Mlyniec, 45, had called, in a conversation lasting about 25 minutes, to say he had picked up a woman in Providence and that she was going in and out of it, unresponsive, Healey said in Kent County Superior Court. Mlyniec told him he had already put the woman into a bathtub where, according to previous testimony, he put cold water on her. The prosecutor asked Healey how the call ended, and Healey said he told Mlyniec again to call 9-1-1. Mlyniec, of West Warwick, is charged with first-degree murder, accused of killing the 41-year-old Andersen at his home two years ago. At about 1:30 p.m. on June 23, 2006, an emergency medical technician has said he went to Mlyniec's 95 Harris Ave. address in response to a report of an unresponsive woman and said he found Anderson lying on her back on couch cushions in a disheveled living room with Mlyniec hovering over her. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney, with reports from Journal staff writer Nandini Jayakrishna In court today, another witness, Mark Townsend, who is a neighbor of Mlyniec's and has known him from 25 years, testified that later the morning of June 26, about 7:15 a.m., he saw Mlyniec in the area between their homes. Mlyniec told him he had picked up a woman that night and that she was out of it, Townsend said, and that Mlyniec looked concerned about her. Townsend said there was no blood on Mlyniec's face or shirt. Another neighbor, Michael Rothermel, in testimony yesterday said he saw blood on Mlyniec's face and right arm. Rothermal said it was 5:30 a.m. when he saw Mlyniec.
