In these videos, obtained from the Queens DA, Chanel Lewis gives a statement to Queens prosecutors confessing to the murder of Howard Beach resident Karina Vetrano.
After the confession, Lewis asked who prosecutors Assistant District Attorneys Peter McCormack and Michael Curtis were:

“Where do we go from here?” Lewis said.
“I don’t know,” McCormack said.
“You’re the attorney right?” Lewis said.
“I’m the Assistant DA, yes,” McCormack said.
