Fantastic job with the articles Bud316!!!
So interesting the LE did such a lengthy interview with "wright", seems they had some reason to be so thorough?

Trying to get caught up...haven't read the entire thread, but interesting case. Reading Wright's statements, she has an excellent point....being a dr., if the perp said he was injured I agree that the dr. would probably want to take a look. In Barrow's statements, the reference is more of a casual "bad ankle" and he can't/doesn't want to ride his bike that far. I guess this doesn't add an awful to the conversation, just an observation in how statements can be similar but mean something entirely different.

Mrs. Wright mentions something about Raymond Burrows "going to Miami a few times ". Thing is,though, Burrows lived in Miami. he worked as the bell captain at the Key Biscayne hotel. She also says,several times, that she doesn't know him, and she asked "why was he here ? " Kind of sounds like she thinks the shooter was really after Burrows.

What seems weird to me is that the murderer seemed to be walking in the opposite direction of where he wanted to go.. He was walking east on toward the mainland but he wanted the Dr to go west then south on Gulf Drive.. Weird..

Whats more interesting is that there was another boat trailer trying to load this trailer in the bay but seemed to be getting frustrated that the Dr. was taking his time unloading from the water.. Burrows and another witness identify this guy with very little detail.

Also found out there was a driver in the getaway car..Few witnesses stated that the killer got into the left side of the car after loading his bike, others say there was an unidentified driver.. More witness statements:

Carmen Mcdonald. He was at the boat ramp and makes a mental note of a LONG homemade trailer, remember this, cause its mentioned again by burrows.. 1-5 of 12pgs

Witness Robert Sexton. He was driving north on gulf drive going to go east on manatee when he passed the wagon and boat and the killer steering the car from the backseat. Interesting. 1-5 of 8 pages

I hope you do not think im flooding. I am trying to get this information posted because it is disappearing each day. Some stuff is still out there but stuff from the original website is being removed quickly.

This is a transcript of a half and half crazy lady I think. She almost talks herself into circles at points. She does not want her name printed cause she swears that the killer seen her and may come back to get her..To be honest i do not know what the hell she had seen or had not seen. 1-5 of 15 pages

Here is a short transcript of another no named witness #2. Something strange is going on, the officer in the interview never asked the color of the car, make of car or if anyone was in it, did she see a tag as she claims her son saw the car.. Hmmmmmmmm

This is from 08-03-80. Victim Raymond Burrows. This is a report from the police after an interview with Burrows the first time. Read it well, i think there are inconsistencies from the second interview. i will post his SECOND interview which is 46 pages... Very Interesting.

Pages 1-3

Since they could not find a suspect the FBI went to Miami, the home town of Raymond Burrows. They reinterviewed on 08/22/1980, 21 days after the murders. Maybe they did not believe him and came back for a 2nd round of questioning. This depo is 46 pages long. After this is uploaded and a few pictures you will get a real good idea on what happened. Very interesting, compare it with the notes from the first depo above.
