Officer Clayton
On 1/12/62 Clayton and Retired FBI Agent D.A. Bryce and Lt. Smith
Went to an office that had been set up be the Headquarters for the murder investigation , the address was 211 North Canyon Street in Carlsbad...
I remember a huge building across from the beach area...East Side maybe...was that a water plant or something? I remember it because it was huge compared to the other buildings.
Okay I have the address of the Arrowhead Drive In....someone emailed it to me.
It was 802 N. Mesquite St. It was just across from the old high school (now PR Levya).
So the driver of that car could have went straight down Mesquite Street.
I found some of my notes from when Bonnie Blair and I talked...David had a 1959 Mercury...with a spotlight on it....but I haven't found the notes that she told me about the cars details.
I remember that there was an alley between our house an Mesquite St. We lived on Lake and Mesquite St. was at an angle to our house. If you walked across Bonbright and went across the alley...you could be at Patty's house within minutes. That's how I remember it anyway. The Simmons family...
Hurricane I think your right about the car turning on W. Bonbright St. That has not changed in there...Mattie lived at 316 N. Lake St. I will try and find out about the Arrowhead Drive Inn...I'm almost sure that the driver would have to had turned back the other direction to go to the drive...
When I talked with Blair's ex-wife she told me that David didn't work that much...his mother and father supported them most of the time. So I have my doubts he would work in an oil/gas field. I'm trying to find my notes on my conversations with her...several things I could answer if I can...
Legacy I will look at the police reports and see if there is more information regarding that car...I remember something about another report about a man being there....and they took him in....but decided he was looking at girly books and doing his thing there...but they didn't think he was...
Mattie was much shorter than Patty. Patty would have been the taller girl. Mattie the shortest.
I would say that with the cuts that were on Patty's back that she could have been raped on the ground. I haven't posted any of that stuff because of the information contained in the autopsy reports...
I have asked the grand-daughter to read these documents and add to them...but she is having trouble getting on here ....can't get registered. I have tried to help her...but guess I don't understand what the problem is.
I asked the same questions about Nichols...the documents I recieved from...
What I'm posting now is from the old investigation....Keith Bunnel's interview
It takes forever to scan and then upload these to post the other way...so here goes.
Interview of Keith D. Bunnel, 603 N. Mesquite St., Carlsbad, N.M.

Captain Funk, N.M.S.P. (Q1)...
According to his daughters memory...he said he was standing around by the municipal office ....do you remember where that was? I think I do...but maybe not.
Yes that is what his grand-daughter and daughter said...he said he was at the Municipal Park area where they ride the rides...that is where he saw the girls...and yes, he would have to have parked out in the parking area and walk to both areas. The beach area and the park area were pretty far...
Thank You LEgacy for the support. I appreciate all the help I can get. Also I have read some of the other cases on here and my heart goes to all the families that are seeking answers for the deaths or for the missing person in their lives.
I will try and get the grand-daughter to get on the...
