On Tuesday, May 25, 2004, the Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff's
Department conducted a canvass at the Campus Walk apartment complex,
looking for potential witnesses who saw or heard anything on the
night of the murder of Kristi Waterson, Saturday, May 22, 2004.
The interviews summarized are some of the most typical or relevant
to the investigation and are representative of all interviews
conducted.
- Joe Brady, student, age 24, 410 Hathorn Road, Bldg. 110, Apt #D
The witness said he took his dog out for a walk between 7:45 p.m.
and 8:00 p.m. on the night of May 22, 2004. He noticed a white male,
tall and medium build in his early 20s, walking through the
apartment complex parking lot headed in a generally southeasterly
direction. "He was kind of on the edge of our complex. As odd as it
sounds, there just aren't many people who walk around here. On
campus or in town, maybe. But everybody I know that lives here
usually drives." The witness said that the subject he observed wore
khaki pants, a blue long sleeve shirt, and a baseball cap. The
witness said the individual had "light brown hair, cut short," but
did not have a beard, mustache, or distinguishing facial features
that the witness remembered.
- Ricky Fernandez, student, age 20, 410 Hathorn Road,
Bldg. 118, Apt. #C
The witness said he was "just hanging out outside not doing
nuthin" on the evening of May 22, 2004, when he observed a white
male of college age "dressed like a prep and with some punk hat on
his head" carrying a "big gym bag" walking through the complex
parking lot "just about half past one in the morning." The witness
went on to say that the individual looked "wimpy" with "short prep
hair" and appeared to be moving in a generally northerly direction.
The individual was dressed "like all the frat boys do -- tan pants,
long sleeve shirt with a collar," and a light colored baseball cap worn
"the wrong way -- frontwards" with indistinguishable letters on the
front. The subject, according to the witness, "didn't have no facial
hair."
- Kristen Murphy, student, age 20, 410 Hathorn Road, Bldg. 116, Apt
#A
The witness said she was grilling hamburgers at approximately
7:55 p.m. and noticed a college-aged white male, who was tall and of
medium build, walking through the apartment complex parking lot,
headed in a southeastern direction. The witness stated that the male
wore light colored pants, a blue shirt, and a baseball cap. The
witness also stated that the male also carried a black duffel bag or
overnight bag. "He had on one of those canvas belts, with the ring,
you know? Not like a leather belt with the holes, but one of those
canvas ones where you wrap it through the rings. J. Crew is selling
a lot of those now. I noticed it because there seemed to be a lot of
extra, you know? This long bit of the belt flapping around." The
witness said the subject was not acting suspiciously, but appeared
to be walking with a definite purpose. "He wasn't lurking about or
anything. I didn't think anything about it at the time. It was only
after I heard about the murder that I wondered if he had something
to do with it." According to the witness, the subject was
clean-shaven and had no distinguishing facial characteristics, but
might have been "kind of cute."

- Rebecca Young, age 24, 410 Hathorn Road, Bldg. 112, Apt #B
The witness said that she was studying late on the night in
question. "I'm a law student, second year, so I pretty much have to
study year round, semesters don't mean much to me." The witness said
that at 1:20 a.m., during a break from her studies, she saw a tall,
college-aged white male of medium build walking through the
apartment complex parking lot in a generally northeasterly
direction. The witness did not see where the subject came from or
where he went after he exited the complex parking lot. The witness
described the subject as wearing light pants, a medium colored
shirt, and a baseball cap with Greek lettering on it. The witness
did not see the individual Greek letters and was unable to state the
subject's hair color or facial characteristics, but did not remember
seeing "a long beard or anything." The witness said the subject
appeared to be "walking quickly and purposefully."
