First, I would suggest you have the new detective on the case check and see if there is a register tape for a purchase at the food lion by one or more of the individuals last seen with James. Second, see if there is internal video, not just the outside video. The internal video would also confirm if one or more of the individuals came into the Food Lion. Try and establish if they were really at the Food Lion or if it is a cover story. This is critical to the time line. Next try and work out a time line from the time James got up in the morning, when he left the house, what places he was confirmed to be during the day and when he was first reported missing. All these times need to be confirmed, not just word of mouth. Did James leave the house with a large sum of cash? Did he have an ATM or Credit Cards? If so, were they ever used after he went missing? If the cash and cards are negative, that removes one motive. We need to figure out what other motives there could be considering the individuals involved. Has anyone been named by LE as a POI?
