I’m curious what others think of Hayes’ testimony. He never came forward during the trial. Says he didn’t realize the significance of the gun shot he heard that day out by the river. According to Autry, he and Zach went out there to dump Holly in the river but she was alive and Zach ended up shooting her in the back of the head. After that they heard a boat and skedaddled with Holly back in the back of the pick up.
Hayes was the man on that boat. He says he didn’t know it mattered to the case until he heard Autry testify. But he never came forward because he didn’t know who to call. He is also childhood friends with one of the investigators on the case. It seems to me he could’ve called his friend and told what he knew at that time. It all seemed too convenient. JMO
