OK OK - Tina Pitts, aka Selwyne Anette Richardson, 43, Tulsa, 5 Nov 2006

[SeriouslySearching]

Yes, you are on the right track. It was pretty evident that Allen Shields was involved somehow in her murder. I never expected them to find her alive and certainly not after finding out she was in the same circle as him. Look up the media stories on Shields and you can see he was a really violent person. I studied her case for a long time and it all ended with his suicide, imo. There just weren't any real clues as to what happened to her body and she could have been anywhere. As brazen as he was though...I could see him placing her right there in front of everyone.

I know they can use the FBI's new toy to check underneath the cement for remains. Hopefully, if she was buried there (and she sure could be) then she will be found and her mother can finally bury her daughter. I would very much like to see this case solved.

The reporter states an "unknown man" left the note. I wonder what makes them think it is a man or is this just the reporters spin?

Edna's stepson was home at the time. He said the tipster initially knocked on the door, but the man left before he could answer. The witness was described as an older black man who was driving a white, Buick Skylark.

After watching the video, I think I am probably on the right track that "he" knew a guy (who we now now is Allen Shield) who had a shop on Apache. I am anxious to see how this plays out and if LE digs up this guys property. I also want to add for future reference that the shops address is 905 East Apache.

So it seems that business (autobody / paint shop 'TC') has been there since (at least) 2004 --- is this correct???

I really hope this guy come forward again. With Shield's being dead, I would think the threat would be gone but I am really not well versed in the depths this guys evil being goes.

I would have to do some digging for that answer. Do you know SS?

He was part of a larger group, but he appeared to be one of the worst.

I honestly don't know about shop or how long it had been there.

There could be other stores someone might refer to as a 'guy's shop'; a barber, fishing tackle, men's clothing store?

What about a hardware store?
