I don't know if I can do this because I don't know alot about posting.
However I save word pad files on some cases that bother me and I run across this information concerning the person of interest in Kay and Peggy's case.
Police on Friday released a sketch of the man. He`s described as a white male in his early 50`s with gray hair and a beard. He was wearing round eyeglasses with a double-bar over the nose. Witnesses also told police that the man appeared unkempt.
Witnesses at the school say they saw the man pick the women up. Both seemed to voluntarily get inside the car.
Person Of Interest Questioned in Missing Women Case
Several tips helped lead police to a person of interest in the missing women investigation. It was over a week ago when Peggy Merimon and Kay Harrelson went to lunch at the Lubbock State School. Both women were last seen getting into an old gray or white sedan with a man that looked like what police artist sketch.
Police did confirm with NewsChannel 11 that the man they interviewed also matched this description. The interview lasted two hours, but the man was let go and is not yet being called a suspect. Police could not confirm if the man was employed by the State School but they do say they served a search warrant on a matching vehicle, which they are now running tests for DNA.
Days after the women disappeared, police issued a sketch of the man witnesses say Harrelson and Merimon got into a car with. A man matching the description was later questioned as a person of interest. Now, we're learning more about that person. A Lubbock judge approved two search warrants last week, one for a home and another for a car. NewsChannel 11 has copies of both. The man in question is an employee at the Lubbock State School.
In the papers, a witness identified the man from the police sketch, and his statements have inconsistencies when compared to other evidence. The man in question told police he knew both Merimon and Harrelson from working with them at the school. In fact, the man says he spoke with both women around 9:30 the morning they disappeared.
He told police he left the state school between 12:30 and 12:45 that afternoon. He says he was sure of the time and was sick for the rest of the day. He had already called in sick the day before and then called in sick the day after. On the day of the disappearance, he says he went home alone. Surveillance cameras at his home tell a different story. They show the man arriving at the entrance to his complex at 12:03, around a half hour before he told police he left the school and only eight minutes after a witness says she saw him leaving the school. The cameras also show a person in the passenger seat when he arrived home.
Police searched the man's home, and a 1991 Pontiac Grand Am, not found at the residence. They took bedding, clothing, and a computer from the home, and several items from the car. According to the search warrant, the man told police that Merimon and Harrelson had been to his home within the last two months, but police were not able to verify that.
