The face is familiar, but I can't quite remember m
Ahhhhh, MrTT - you're on my wavelength now.
The former landlord's business is/was a salvage yard and I believe may have included a wrecker service of sorts. The former landlord is still "with us."
I don't know about the phone lines except to me it sounds like something someone of a different generation would do? KWIM, doesn't sound like something somebody in their 20s or 30s would do... sounds "old school" to me like something someone older would do. I don't know - I think about old movies and stuff like that and just seems to me to be something maybe someone in their 60s or 70s would think about. Both Bowman and the former landlord are of that older generation (I'm still of the belief that Bowman had never been acquainted with the Shorts - but that's not based on any facts, just my own opinion).
I think the police have been very closed mouth about a lot of the evidence. I don't recall ever hearing if this alleged conversation between Bowman and someone regarding a mover having to be killed was heard in person by the landlord or on a telephone or exactly how the conversation was heard just that the landlord reported to police he overheard the conversation. I don't remember that anyone else heard any such conversation other than the former landlord. Seemed to me it was just his word against Bowman's - with Mr. Bowman saying he never met or knew the Shorts.
Gosh, I need to go back and try to read some older articles, but I thought I remembered that in a news article there was talk about the former landlord telling police that Bowman had a false bottom or secret storage area in his van and when the police were finally able to search the van that was found not to be true. I'd probably have a heck of time trying to find that article. If I run across it again I'll be sure to post a link. My memory definitely isn't what it used to be. And there are so many abduction/murder cases I've followed over the years.
Regarding the location of Jennifer's body - I was unable to add a push pin location to the map that someone else linked - but if you pull that map up, do a search for 1500 Grogan Road, Stoneville, NC and that will be much closer to where her body was found rather than the "B" that was pinned - she was closer to the intersection of Grogan Road and River Road. There is a small creek and small bridge there.
