TedMac, I really wish they had reinterviewed that lady. I feel something is off about her statement (as we know it). Like something in it was a guess maybe, IDK. I could be totally wrong, but she has died unfortunately. Of course, what is "off" might be that what we think she said is not exactly what she said (license on the dashboard syndrome).
Agreed. It may have been very helpful if she and all the other witnesses were re-interviewed. I wish they had re-interviewed Johnny Barrentine. He was the one originally charged, but the grand jury did not indict (probably because he wasn't guilty or at least there was no evidence of it). If they had approached him in a non accusatory fashion, they may have been able to gleam some information from him. He saw some things that night, some of which may have aided the investigation . But sadly, he is now deceased, too and that opportunity is gone as well.
There is a cold-case investigator from the Alabama AG office working the case. Maybe he is doing these follow-up interviews. But, since no information is being released, it is hard to say what is being done.
