Thursday, December 11, 1997 Guest: Mary Hollis, Lakeside Inn Witness   Opening Remarks:   Hello all! My name is Mary Hollis, and I'm a hostess for the Lakeside Inn on Enid Dam Road. It's an intimate little dining establishment. Well, anyway, I called the Sheriff's office the other day to let them know that I came across a note for November 8th for reservations for Sheriff Lamar at 10:30 p.m. when I was going through the books in order to set up a new one.   It was really odd because I remembered him calling. The Sheriff was a regular and he always called in advance and would order the wine he wanted with dinner. But that night it was really strange because it was real spur of the moment. He only called about three hours before the reservation and he usually would call at least a day in advance. He was real particular about that. Anyway, he never showed that night, and with all the publicity about his daughter's disappearance and his accident, I decided to find out about the night he was supposed to come and sure enough it was the night of the accident.   So I called to let them know what I knew. I can answer some questions about that night if anyone has any.   Question and Answer session:   Q: How many members in the party for the reservation and who did the Sheriff usually have dinner with at your restaurant? A: Well he always made the reservations for a table for two, the table over by the corner with the window that overlooks the lake. Sometimes his girlfriend would meet him there. His girlfriend, Aimee Harberson, but I didn't know that was her last name until Monday when Detective Nelson had me look at her picture. I always knew her as Aimee.   Q: How long has Sheriff Lamar been a regular at your restaurant? A: Well, I've worked at the restaurant for about two years now, and he's been coming all the time that I've worked there, but only about a year ago or less did he start bringing Aimee with him, so I don't think they'd been dating real long.   Q: Is the restaurant along Route 7 or anywhere near it? A: The Lakeside in is off of Interstate 55 and Route 32, but 7 crosses 32, I believe. In Water Valley, I think.   Q: Did you ever see Aimee there with anyone besides the Sheriff? A: No, the only time I saw her was when she came in with Sheriff Lamar.   Q: Did Sheriff Lamar seem in any way peculiar when he called in the reservations? A: No, not that I noticed. I just thought it was strange because he is normally so constant on calling in advance, and when he didn't show up it sort of upset another party that had wanted that table for the night. But he sounded just fine when he called. Nothing unusual about the way he spoke or anything.   Q: Did you notice if Sheriff Lamar checked into a room near the restaurant after these dinners? A: I just handle dinner reservations, I don't do any work with room reservations.   Q: Who owns restaurant? Were any of the Chambeaus ever there? A: I don't really know who owns the restaurant to be honest. I've never asked, I just deal with my manager and that's about it. The Chambeaus? No, not that I can think of, but if they do come in they wouldn't be regulars because I don't remember seeing them there. I really only remember people who come in regularly. Oh! Maybe this will help with the owner's name, I get my checks from Janus Realty, but I don't know who or what that is.   Q: When was the last time you saw the Sheriff and/or Aimee at your restaurant? A: I've got all the dates for the past six months here that he reserved a table, do you want all of them or just the last visit before he reserved a table on the 8th? October 25 was the last time he had made reservations before the November 8th reservation. That reservation was at 9pm. The other dates include July 13 at 9pm, August 3 at 9pm, August 20th at 9pm, August 31st at 9pm, September 14th at 8:30 pm, October 3rd at 9 pm, and then the October 25th reservation at 9pm with the final reservation on the 8th of November at 10:30 pm.   Q: Did you ever see the Sheriff there with anyone besides Aimee? A: No, not for the last couple of months he's only been coming with her.   Q: Have you been noticing any trucks in the parking lot? Large ones that could transport barrels? A: No. That's an odd question. No, we don't get many of those around the Inn.   Q: Have you noticed any new regulars coming into the restaurant? A: Not recently, no.   Q: What about prior to the last couple of months? Did Sheriff Lamar show up with anyone else? A: Before he started bringing Aimee? No, not that I can recall, he'd come in by himself and just look out over the lake and think a lot to himself. He was a real loner up until he started bringing her.   Q: Are there any live-aboard marinas near the restaurant? A: No, not that I know of. It's a nice size lake, but it's not that big.   Q: The last time the Sheriff was in your restaurant, did you have anybody coming in before or after Lamar? A: Sure we get lots of people who are always coming and going. But the last time I saw him was in October, and I don't remember anything special about it.   Q: What is your managers name? Were packages or envelopes ever left for the Sheriff? A: Jim Daniels is my manager. Packages for the Sheriff? No. None that I ever saw. No envelopes either, nothing was ever left for the Sheriff.   Q: Do you recall anything about a boathouse fire within the past couple months? A: Boathouse fire? I heard something about there being a fire a while back, but never asked about details. It didn't seem important.   Q: Did the Sheriff ever get any calls while he was at the restaurant? A: No, he didn't get calls.   Q: Are you sure the Sheriff made the last reservation? A: Yes, I know his voice pretty well. He was really nice and friendly. Great tipper. Aimee was a bit cold for him I always thought, but he was very nice. It was him.   Q: Had you ever talked to Aimee before? If so, what about? A: I always said hello, but she was always real quiet and reserved. She seemed a little on the cool side, I mean, it was obvious she and Sheriff Lamar were dating, but she didn't seem the type to show any public affection. Sheriff Lamar always helped her with her coat and chair. He was very polite. She just seemed distant about it.   Q: What type of restaurant is the Lakeside Inn? A: Real intimate place to eat. It's real quiet and cozy. Great place to bring a date. It's a steak place.
