Hi Jessi and Welcome (***ziggy spanks CharlieChan***).
OK Peacegurl - we REALLY want to know because rumors, as we all know by reading the Enquirer - are sometimes true. Sure they are not a legit news source but they seem to frequently scoop everyone.
There is no doubt that Sam went to Kroger so he must have interacted, even if in a small way, with the local people. I can totally see him making small talk with the kids smoking at the college. The reason that there is not more reported about it is because the national media has moved on and as far as the locals go...they just talk to each other about it and the papers probably want to minimize gory details out of respect - so IMO that's why there is nothing in print, to date, on those issues.
No reason at all why some of the local posters here can't ask around for leads and statements saying they are blogging on a true crime forum about the case...see if anyone will open up with a story or give a lead to a person who had a conversation with Sam first hand. I know, that's asking a lot and everyone's got a life. Man would I love to have the time to do it
I bet we could find out what was listed on those receipts.
As far as Emma's friends...other than Carrie Frank I can't seem to find any pics or videos with "girlfriends" and if there are any girlfriends or other friends in the area, what has been said by them...anything?
I'm so curious about the days leading up to the concert and if Debra talked to anyone about her daughter's visitor and how it was going etc.
It just seems like there has got to be more out there and since WE aren't really the jury I think it should all be open for discussion and kept in the context of speculation and rumor. No harm, no foul.
