Now back to the wallet and the people at Big Tree Campground....
What's the story there? Who are they? How did they get her wallet?
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Where did they find this wallet, and does it make sense that the wallet was where it was, given the story that her male companion gave, that she left to find help after his truck got stuck?
FOX: Exactly. One of the members of our search party, the second weekend that we had gone out, one of the members of the search party had decided to go door to door in a community called Big Tree. It`s -- it`s called Big Tree community there in the Altoona area. I`m sorry, the Matilla (ph) area.
And she had knocked on the door, and a girl answered the door and said, when she was showing her a flyer of Lacey, she told her she had something for her. And she went and got Lacey`s wallet and handed it to her and told her it had Lacey`s Medicaid card in it.
Well, we were searching down at what they call Big Bass Lake. And while we`re searching around, this lady is with us. I know she`s a searcher, but she wasn`t with our party. There was about 15 of us down there.
And she walked up to me, and she shook my hand and said, "Hi, I`m Nikki (ph)."
And I said, "Hi, I`m Cyndee Fox."
And she wouldn`t let go of my hand. And she said, "I have something for you." And she just kept staring in my eyes. And I kept staring back at hers. And she let go of my hand, and she rubbed her head and the back of her neck. She said, "I have Lacey`s Medicaid cards in a pouch."
And I said, "You have her Medicaid card -- how did you get her Medicaid cards?"
And she told me that this lady had given her a pouch. Well, once we got the pouch, it is not just a pouch; it`s Lacey`s wallet. It had her debit card in it, her Medicaid cards in it. It had pictures that her children had colored for her on Christmas day folded up and put in this wallet.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: But where was exactly the wallet? Does this make -- do you believe the story that they were doing drugs in the woods and that his truck got stuck and that she went for help? Does it make sense, given where the wallet was found?
FOX: No, no. What doesn`t make sense to me -- I don`t care if they`re stuck in the woods, I don`t care if they`re stuck in sand or they`re stuck in mud and muck. I know Lacey Marie would never, ever walk out of those woods by herself. And I have been told by many, many, many people that know this man that he would never let somebody walk out of those woods.
It sounds like a volunteer, Nikki, in a separate search party from Cyndee's was going door to door with a picture of Lacey. At one of those homes a girl gave Nikki Lacey's wallet. Nikki then found Cyndee and gave her the wallet.
To me it doesn't say precisely where Lacey's wallet was. Did the girl who gave it to Nikki the volunteer find it somewhere and hold on to it?
