How did the prosecutor know Ken called? [Spoilers]


I understand that the prosecutor realized that Ken was present during the rape because of the arcade score records. However, when she saw him at school, she played the recording of his calling the police.

How did she find out that he called the police? She knew his name from the arcade, and she knew his face from the yearbook. How did she get his voice?

She put two and two together and knew it had to have been Ken.

There were many others in the bar who saw the rape. How did the arcade score and yearbook picture reveal that Ken, out of all those people, make the call?

You say "two plus two." What were those "Two" and "Two" that she put together?

All she had, again, was:

1). The arcade score.
2). The yearbook picture.
3). A voice recording of the call that in no way relates to the above 2.

She had that evidence that someone had phoned in the rape. However, she only had a name from that tape. Then she went to the arcade and found more evidence that a guy named Ken was there (the high score he recorded), then thought about one of the rapists who had a college friend named Ken and looked in the yearbook and found him. Then when she went to see him, she recognized his voice as the same as on the tape.
