“The Police Log”

-Chronology of Events-

THEORY: The police log is a falsification with the intention of confusing the events of time. It is not that difficult to conclude that there was a connection between the “gunshots” that Ryan, Brett, Robbie, and Richie heard in the Robin Hood Woods at 9:10 pm and the bleeding man in the Bojangles Restaurant half a mile away at 9:30 pm. Certain detectives deliberately covered up this crime in order to protect their crystal meth drug selling operation that included the real killers. The police log below was just one of many tools used to cause confusion for an outside party attempting to piece together the crime.

FACT: The Police Log below shows that at 8:40 pm, Officer 256 (Meek) was dispatched to the Bojangles Restaurant. This contradicts the manager of the Bojangles restaurant who claims that he made the call at approximately 9:30 pm at the Echols trial and “thirty minutes before closing” at the Misskelley trial.

FACT: On January 31^st, 1994, Mark Perrusquia reported the following conversation with Marty King in the Commercial Appeal; According to King, the man came into the restaurant shortly before the 10 p.m. closing time, "disarrayed" and confused. He had blood on the side of his face, and blood also was dripping from his forearm, King said.

"That led me to believe he was bleeding himself," King said. But King said he wasn't sure if the blood may have been from another person or not. (Link to the article by Mark Perrusquia)

FACT: The above report DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS the time listed in the police log when the police were called to respond to the Bojangles man.

FACT: After detective Bryn Ridge and his partner briefly met with Marty King on the night of May 6^th, 1993, THE POLICE NEVER CONTACTED HIM AGAIN. Officer Bryn Ridge later “lost” the blood samples he collected from the Bojangles Restaurant.

FACT: Officer Regina Meek, who took the call to the Bojangles restaurant, testifies that when she received the call, she drove directly to that location. She testifies at the Echols trial that it took her “less than 5 minutes” to make the route. According to Officer Regina Meek: “I was on Barton, I went Barton across 7th Street to Glen Bailey - Glen Bailey to Missouri Street and made a right.” The map below shows the route Officer Regina Meek took according to her testimony in court. However, this testimony contradicts the police log, which shows Officer Regina Meek calling in a license plate number at 8:44 pm on South Avalon Street almost 4 miles away.

FACT: The police log entry at the top of the page shows that at 8:44 pm, Officer 256 (Regina Meek) was taking a license plate number of a locked Chevy Van, IL # 397501 on South Avalon. The map below shows the exact location with a star of Officer Meek when she made the call on South Avalaon. The POLICE LOG CONTRADICTS OFFICER MEEK’S STATEMENTS IN COURT REGARDING THE ROUTE SHE TOOK WHEN SHE WAS CALLED TO THE BOJANGLES RESTAURANT. According to the police log, Officer Regina Meek would have received the call to the Bojangles restaurant, then driven to South Avalon, almost 4 miles away, then noticed the van, then read the license plate, then called in the license plate from a Chevy Van, IN JUST 2 MINUTES. THEN she went to the Bojangles restaurant and arrived 6 minutes later. However, Officer Regina Meek clearly states that she remembered taking a direct route to the restaurant (As shown in the map above). Officer Regina Meek also testifies that she called in the license plate on Avalon Street. In her testimony, she seems very confused about the times of the police log. She would have had to speed and furthermore, it would have been impossible for her to arrive at the location at 8:50 pm as the police log entry shows since she was way down on Avalon Street taking the license plate number of a Chevy Van with Illinois plates almost 4 miles away. However, Regina Meek clearly testifies that these two incidents are separate from each other. If the police log is considered to be accurate, it is very strange that Regina Meek would drive four miles south AFTER she receives the call to the Bojangles Restaurant and it is even stranger that Regina Meek contradicts these events in her testimony.

FACT: Officer Regina Meek testifies on several occasions that she is confused about the times these events took place. At the Echols trial, defense attorney, Davidson, hands Officer Regina Meek the police log and asks the following question. While looking at the police log, Regina Meek testifies in court that the times are incorrect.

Davidson: How long did you go out and look on your own?
Meek: Mmm--several minutes, I received a call somewhere in there--I'm not sure of the exact time on that, but I was called away for a few minutes and then I went back.
Davidson: And do you recall when you were called away? (In reference to the Bojangles call)
Meek: Not when the times are. (In reference to the Police Log she is holding in her hand)

FACT: Testimony from the Echols trial of Officer Meek regarding the call she received to go to the Bojangles Restaurant.

Meek: This is 7th Street here. Here's Barton. I was uh--between 14th and McAuly on Barton when I received the call and I was sent over to Missouri Street, which will be right here.
Davidson: So where would--point out where Robin Hood Woods would be--forrest please.
Meek: Ok. Just a second. Ten Mile Bayou, 14th Street, Goodwin--this area.
Davidson: Ok, and from that area uh--you said you were somewhere right around here when you received the call?
Meek: I was on Barton.
Davidson: And what route did you take to go to Missouri Street?
Meek: I went Barton across 7th Street to Glen Bailey--Glen Bailey to Missouri Street and made a right.
Davidson: Could you track that for us and show us how you went?
Meek: Ok. Missouri, here's 7th--where's Glen Bailey? It's broken up. Oh, this map. You can draw Glen Bailey on there, so--(laughs)--it's on, it's a cross street. It used to be Barton Extended. They changed the name to Glen Bailey. It's just straight across it goes between Industrial Park.
(mumbling)
Davidson: Now, how long do you think it would have taken you to get where you were over to this other call?
Meek: I know less than 5 minutes.
Davidson: Less than 5 minutes.
Meek: Even with the traffic lights.
Davidson: Now uh--over on Missouri Street, was there a particular establishment that you were called to?
Meek: Yes sir.
Davidson: And what was that establishment?
Meek: Bojangles.
Davidson: Bojangles?
Meek: Yes sir.

POSSIBLE AVENUES TO PURSUE IN ORDER TO PROVE/DISPROVE THE POLICE LOG ERROR: The Operators in the Police Log were Johnson/Holland. One way to ascertain that the police log may be in error would be to compare the handwriting of these two operators during the time of the murders with the Police Log of May 5^th 1993. Also, it would be good to ask them if the police log was filled out on May 5^th, 1993 or at a later date. The link below shows that the handwriting of Chief Inspector Gary Gitchell is very similar to the handwriting on the Police Log. Furthermore it would be a good idea to question Officer Regina Meek regarding her specific recollection of the night of May 5^th, 1993 in regards to the call of the license plate and the routes she took on that night. Marty King also needs to be asked the reason why he testified at the Echols trial that it was 9:30 pm when he was made aware of the Bojangles man. There may be something that Marty King remembers specifically that allows him to recall that exact time.
