K-9
search -- From the
crime scene,
police used a
special trained
tracking dog to
follow blood trail
of the
perpetrators
shortly after the
911 call. The dog
initially traveled
south down 4th
street from the
Tribune parking
lot which was the
opposite direction
that Chuck tells
the police he went
in his initial
statement the
morning of his
arrest. It wasn't
until Chuck's
October 1st
'proffer' (after
reading the police
reports about the
route) that Chuck
first becomes
aware that a
police dog tracked
the perpetrators
the night of the
crime. -- police
report #42. That's
when Chuck begins
to claim he
traveled this same
route. Once at
Flat Branch Park,
Erickson states he
traveled due west
thru the creek and
up onto Providence
where he claims to
have stopped and
had a conversation
with Dallas Mallory
in the middle of
the intersection
of Locust and Providence,
while Dallas was
sitting in his car
waiting at a stop
light. (see
Mallory's
affidavit)
According to MODOT,
the light was
blinking yellow at
that hour of the
night and could
not have been
red. (why
would Mallory stop
at a flashing
yellow light on
one of Columbia's
busiest streets at
approximately 2:30
in the
morning?)
Also, according to
Mallory's
affidavit dated
12/01/04, he
states that he
would not have
driven that night
because he did not
have a valid
driver's license
and had sold his
car prior to Nov.
1, 2001.(See fact
#13) Meanwhile,
the trained dog
continued south
from Flat Branch
Park to Locust
east to 5th Street
and south to the
university.
At this point the
trained police dog
handler states
that his dog
"began
sniffing and
pulling
aggressively,
displaying to me
he had again
located the scent
of the man we were
tracking."
They then continued
on, reaching
McReynold's Hall and
finally McDavid
Hall. At
this point, the
police dog handler
and his dog are 3
1/2 blocks
southeast of where
Chuck says he
turned west.
More specifically,
Chuck places
himself in
completely the
opposite direction
at the
intersection of
Providence and
Locust continuing
in a northwesterly
direction toward
By George's
Nightclub. Police
report #42 and
#332. |
