The 64-year-old grandfather who was questioned and then cleared in the disappearance of Nevaeh Buchanan told The Blade Tuesday he was wrongly targeted by police and forced to sleep on the floor in a jail cell...(Cry me a river.)
...Mr. Easter said he drove to the apartment complex in the days after the girl’s disappearance to pick up his girlfriend, Janie Austin, a resident of the complex, because she needed a ride to go shopping...
...He said he presented receipts for purchases he made at Kmart, Wal-Mart, and Lowe’s on the days in question.
“They showed dates where I was,” he said.
After being dropped after questioning, Mr. Easter said he went into his duplex, peeked outside to make sure they were gone, and waited about 10 minutes to go outside to start a fire in a pit in the backyard.
“I happened to gather some of the receipts because they were through looking at them,” and because he wanted to have a little fire in his fire ring, he decided to burn them inside a TV dinner box, he said...(peeked to make sure they were gone and then burned the receipts? WTH?)
