Friday, November 7, 1997 Guest: Detective Terrence Nelson   Opening Remarks:   Hey all! How we all doing this evening? It's nice to be back. I've heard things were interesting this week, I was out of town at a convention on guns and defense techniques. But I've been up-to-dated on everything. I'd like to hear what everyone thought of this past week, any ideas to help the department out?   Question and Answer session:   Q: Is there any new information? A: New information, just that we're looking into Lamar a little more in depth after the polygraph results, and running background checks on Aimee Harberson. I was actually kinda hoping to hear what you all thought about the events this past week, I'd love to hear any theories you might have.   Q: Detective have you reviewed my theory? (Note: Theories are posted on the AOL message boards.) A: I did read it, but I haven't gotten a chance to review it tonight. You want to go over it again with me? I'd like to hear it.   Q: I think your Department should interview people at the Assessor's Department about Aimee. A: We are actually running a background check on Aimee. Just won't have the results on her for a little while.   Q: I suspect that Reed Chambeau has the money, power, greed, and owns earth. I think we will find Macy on Chambeau's property, in Magnolia, MS, per Mme Raylene's 9/28 call. A: We are looking into leads on that, but I will note it again. I think that it's interesting as well.   Q: What are the local money laundering spots? A: Well, I'm not aware of any. But that's an interesting idea, I'll have to see what resources we might have to look into that.   Q: What about the numbers racket? A: Racketeering? I don't believe we have any of that going on in Oxford.   Q: Do you think that Macy's disappearance had to do with the election? A: Well, we are looking into that as a possibility. We have members of the department looking into the allegations that Mazza made in the debate, and about the election. But, we haven't gotten anything back on that yet. We will keep you all posted on that when we get further details on it.   Q: Did Macy have any unwanted boyfriends? Maybe someone who did not like "no" for an answer? A: Not that we are aware of. We've questioned her friends, and they only know of Tom. Her friends have told us that she isn't the type to have many boyfriends at once.   Q: Who did Lamar play poker with that night? A: We may have some names for you later. We're looking into his social activities --- Sheriff Lamar, I mean. We will be finishing up some questioning with him due to the polygraph results.   Q: Who do you think was blackmailing the Sheriff and why? Also, why do you think the Sheriff would not answer that on the polygraph? A: Well, we aren't really sure that he is being blackmailed...we plan on reviewing all of the questions he didn't answer. I'm not really sure why he didn't answer them, but he may be under stress because of Macy, and not being able to find her.   Q: It was only questions along a certain line that got him agitated, though...questions pertaining to Chambeau, blackmail, and gambling.   Q: Has Chambeau put in any bids for some more property around Oxford recently? A: Chambeau is constantly acquiring new land and putting out new bids. He's a very prominent businessman with funds at his disposal.   Q: I wonder if he's hired a geologist to check any of them out? A: I think his latest project is a super Walmart out by Highway 7. He's bought up some land for a strip mall, I think.   Q: Are there any interesting zoning issues in or around Oxford? And what fights have resulted? A: We finally have zoning, the laws never had muscle until recently. Oxford didn't always have codes or zoning, so new housing developers and contractors tend to squirm a bit over the whole concept.   Q: Do you know who owns the apartment building Caroline Blanchard lives in? A: I'm not really sure, I'll have to have someone look into it, but probably Mike Bridge owns most of the apartment complexes in the area.   Q: We would like an update (the nitty gritty) on what Anderson and Armstrong have been up to. A: Well, last I heard from them, they were still setting up the P.I. firm. And they were getting ready to go on a hunting trip together. They were supposed to go out, stop over at Handy Andy's to swap stories....Armstrong has his own table there...sounded like a lot of fun. But that's really about the last I've heard from the two of them.   Q: Who owned the motel where Phelps died? A: I believe an Iranian family owned it, can't remember the name...Abdul or something.   Q: Detective, has Kathleen, the black sheep been located? (Kathleen is Lamar's sister, the estranged one) A: We're looking for her, she hasn't been found. Kathleen is Lamar's sister, yes. She was last in Boca Raton, but we didn't have a street number.   Q: Any geologically interesting properties in and near Oxford? Has oil been discovered anywhere around Oxford? A: Other than trees, not really. No oil...we have some Indian mounds around here with some relics in them, but really that's about it.   Q: Does Dave Woolworth work for Chambeau part-time? A: No. He doesn't work for Chambeau.   Q: The Walmart site, is it perhaps on top of an Indian burial ground? A: No, it was a bayou at one point, but it has been filled in since.   Q: He's building on a sinkhole? He could stand to lose a bunch of money if his business are shut down. Or gain from insurance.   Q: How smart is it to build on a bayou locale? An old bayou location is not a prime spot to build on, given a choice. The question is, is there a strong enough foundation or is he hiding something? Or has he charmed the Permits department into letting him build on the cheapest spot? Aimee would be privy to land values, you know.... A: It hasn't been built yet. Chambeau is planning on building the super Walmart out by Highway 7, but it hasn't been started yet. The project is in the works from what I understand. Well, really all the land around here is pretty cheap, it's at a state set cost. There is still land for sale.   Q: Is Cooters Farm up for sale? A: Cooter's Farm isn't up for sale, no.   Q: Are you privy to real estate transactions? If so, has Chambeau made any "odd" purchases? A: I haven't heard anything unusual about Chambeau's purchases.   Q: Actually I would like to see a list of his holdings. Could you also find out what holdings he has in Magnolia, MS? A: IÕll look into it.   I'll see you later. Nice talking to you again. It's good to be home. Good night everyone!
