Ken stated that Butch’s wife had recently been stabbed by “niggers” and the woman who lived on his street was a suspect in the stabbing. He said “someone” had burned a cross on this woman’s lawn to send her a message but had done a poor job of it. Later, I checked all police and sheriff’s department report databases on this alleged incident and could find no indication that it, in fact, had occurred. If it had, then the victim did not report it to the police … a highly unlikely prospect.
