Yes, Inspector, Mr. Thompson did get his guy. I was afraid after his DUI that it may influence the resolution of the murder of Jessica Lane. I wonder why LEO waited until he committed the 2nd murder to indict QT?
My apologies if I've already posted this photo of Ali with Quinton's sister.

I wonder why Det. Thompson was targeted for that DUI.
I appreciated his efforts for Ms. Jessica Lane Chambers.
DeDee and d4j: not sure why the Major was not included in that big presser with Darby and Champion announcing the grand jury indictment, but then, the FBI was not there either. His DUI coming late in the investigation could have at least two explanations, possibly more:
(1) He was working long hours and weekends, so maybe he began unwinding at the end of the day with some beer or drinks before heading home, or
(2) He was causing someone trouble with his investigation and this was a way to discredit him. Remember Darby at that civic leaders meeting alluding to Jessica's murder being part of some corruption?
Presumably the DUI violation was too serious for the arresting officer to let him off under "professional courtesy" or perhaps it was not the first time and the risk was too great to let him continue, don't know -- all just conjecture.
Interesting bedfellows (just an expression, not implying anything here) that snapshot of Ali and sister Tellis, DeDee. How did you find it? Do you think Ali was friends with big brother? Didn't he live in a trailer behind the M&M?
Don't know what to say about the poor girl being murdered in LA because the police were not quick enough to trace Tellis to the Jessica Chambers murder in MS. Unfortunate, but I cannot hold them responsible for the actions of a cold-blooded serial murderer.

Recently, I tried sleuthing out QTs C'land addy. His mother lived in B'ville but south on Hwy 6 from where JC drove that fateful night. There is NO trailer directly behind M&Ms. Carlisle runs directly behind the store as one would not need to get onto Main Street to turn from M&Ms to enter Carlisle close to the dumpster placement. I don't have time now but maybe someone can pull up a Google earth shot of the M&M and Carlisle area as there are a few trailers along Carlisle including BCs. Also, there is a street on the right, if headed N on Carlisle, where AShields lived that also had manufactured housing on some lots. If someone is willing to do that work; it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe some of the info below will be of some help.

DeDee,
Here is a current BING Maps bird's eye view of the area, and there's clearly a trailer directly behind the M&M, right across Carlisle from the paved parking lot:

Here's a closer look:

The first address (230) on your list is quite a ways down Carlisle from the above location. There appear to be several un-addressed abodes in between that location and the start of Carlisle at its intersection with U.S. 51, including this trailer.
My hat (chapeau) is off to your incredible granddaughter. Good trees produce good fruit, as the saying goes.
Best,

Thank you. So, there is a trailer on Carlisle across the street from M&Ms. Close enough. It is difficult to imagine folks living in those conditions in modern day but I know that they do.
This SS came from one of the interviews. I wish I could find the interview b/c I don't recall what she said. LaQuanta Tellis. Did you find an address for her in Courtland?

* Note: Please ignore the statement under the pic as clearly when you click to enlarge as it was meant to say she was Ali's girlfriend and not QTs.
Pretty good run from the crime scene on Herron Road to the trailer behind M&M on Carlisle, traveling through woods, fields, backyards, train tracks, fences, and so on. Did Tellis ever run cross-country for Panola High? I'm thinking he either had a car parked near the CS, or an accomplice watching and waiting nearby. By the time all the first responders, fire trucks, deputies, etc. arrived on scene, would have been a hopeless task trying to sort out any perpetrator's tire tracks near Jessica's car or across the road.

Pardon the tacky tacking on...It's Laqunta, DeDee. Didn't find much with my limited "freebie" (read: cheapskate) capabilities -- only a location in Batesville and a relative's name:

Maybe another Websleuther has a premium Zabasearch subscription, where they can find out more details to share?
Did you notice in the blowup of the bird's eye view of the trailer an old school bus painted white just to the left of it? I've seen them converted into a fish camp with bunk beds down along a river, easy to move whenever the water rises. That, too, might be some low-income (non-Section 8) housing in Courtland, sans postal address. Makes it tough on the bill collectors, but also requires a P.O. box rental for the monthly "assistance" checks...
Best,
Inspector C.

It would appear Ms. Tellis has a MyLife account:

Ms. Tellis is also quoted in the following transcript (sorry, unable to copy):

Reward for Jessica Chambers' killer now up to $53,000
http://www.clarionledger.com/story/...ica-chambers-killer-now-up-to-53000/22190929/
As poverty stricken as the area is, it is difficult to believe that no one took the reward money and got out of town. They could put a $40,000 downpayment on a home and bought a decent car and still had a little jingle in their pocket.
I watched over a dozen videos searching for LaQunta Tellis' interview to no avail. Only one video was of the locals at the M&M after the indictment was announced. Some locals are skeptical that QT did it. I guess he has some devoted followers in that town. The reporter said she was warned to be careful b/c the crime was so gruesome.

I don't find it surprising that she's friends with Derrick...
Considering Jessica's last words, that is.
And Teapoo's and Sandy's involvement.
Ahhh... small town silence.
Monsieur Steleheart,
This is the first hint for me of any racism in this crime. But almost to the person, every black interviewed about Tellis has expressed their doubts in some way, while every white has not. Do you have a link you could share showing the Laqunta-Derrick relationship you mentioned? Do you think her bother knew him, too? Perhaps someone else was present at the CS? Would Tellis accept life in lieu of death in exchange for rolling over on an accomplice? Would Ben and Lisa be willing to accept such a plea deal, since I doubt DA Champion would go against their wishes?

Thanks for the warning. I believe my last WS banishment was for borderline victim bashing. Is there a similar rule against "accused" bashing, including relatives and friends? Nevertheless, under advice of your counsel, I shall refrain from further public inquiries along these lines.I am unsure about any racism more so than culture. Not in my mind anyway. But the friend's lists connections in this case I cannot shake. From chasing down the original "Erick or Derrick" quote and looking at it again, the Tellis, and Rudd connections are stark. Derrick, Derek, Ssedric, Kedrick, etc are common. I do not know why we did not see interviews with those players since we heard about Ms. Rudd's interview and her interaction with JC that night and about interviews with people with like names who have zero connection.
I cannot link those connections here as it would not be within our guidelines, but starting with the person you have been discussing ( which borders on TOS), the direct connections and back to MrsMack lead to players with that name sound.
As a cultural note, yes, no one snatched up that 50K because no one wanted to be the next Flam-Bae and no one wanted to break the code "snitches get stitches" and " Those Bit**es think I'm snitching".
JMO but tread lightly.
