On
05-31-93, shortly before 10 PM, I was notified by the Crittenden Co. Sheriff’s
Dept. dispatcher John Wood, of a homicide at Lehi. Dep. David Sanders called my residence to
state that an black male had been found in the first
house south of the Lehi Liquor Store in Lehi. Sanders said
that the victim was found bound up with a blanket over his head. Sanders said that when he found the body he
observed that the victim’s hands and feet were tied behind him. Dep. Sanders said he immediately left the
scene and sealed it, leaving Dep. Paul Weaver to guard the scene while he made
the necessary phone calls.
I
advised dispatcher John Wood to notify Chief Investigator R>D> CLay regarding the situation. Inv. Clay was in his car and immediately went
to the scene, arriving shortly before I did.
My arrival time on the scene was 2225 hours.
On
entering the residence by the back door, front door being locked, Sanders
directed me to a rear bedroom on the southeast corner of the house.
Upon
stepping to the doorway, I observed a black male laying
on the floor face down. The victim’s
hands and feet were bound behind the back with hands and feet pulled
together. A light blue blanket was over
the victim’s head. An area of the
blanket which covered the approximate area of the top of the head was seen to
have blood coming through the blanket.
Photographs
of the scene were taken from numerous angles, both Polaroid and 35 mm, by Invs. Clay and Brockwell,
and by Coroner Kent Hale.
The
victim’s was observed to be wearing pants but no shirt. The victim had socks on but no shoes.
Observed
at the scene was a hatchet laying upper right from the victim’s head. The blood on the blanket was rectangular in
shape, roughly matching the shape of the hatchet head.
The
crime scene and the residence was searched by Invs Clay and Brockwell, along
with Dep. David Sanders. Evidence
recovered was bagged and tagged. The
hatchet was recovered and bagged.
The
victim was known to have smoked PALL MALL unfiltered cigarettes and several
cigarettes butts of this brand were recovered from various ash trays. Also recovered were several cigarette butts
of unknown brands. One cigarette butt
was recovered from the floor of the crime scene, laying
near the left leg of the victim. The
cigarette carried the brand name BASIC.
he house generally appeared to be very messy in appearance. Due to this condition, it was hard to determine if the house had been searched previously. General impression was that the house had not been searched.
After
a search of the residence, Coroner Kent Hale removed the blanket from the
victim’s head and injuries were observed and photographed. Injuries to the

head
were observed to be a blow over the right eye, a blow on the upper left side of
the head (upper rear corner of the skull) approximating the size and shape of
the hatchet head, and a much harder blow to the head on the left rear corner of
the skull slightly above the ear.
The
victim was found to be gagged with an orange shop type rag, knotted on the rear
of the head.
The
victim’s feet and hands were found to be tied together with 3 separate types of
material. A white cord, approx. 3/16ths
diameter, a piece of red electrical wire approx. 12-14 gauge, and a brown
electrical extension cord were the materials used.
Also
photographed and received as evidence 1 new ball cap, a tie-rod end to and what
appeared to be a whip of some type. The
whip appeared to be made from some type of belting material approximately 2”
wide and slightly tapered. The free end
had been split several times to a depth of about 3 inches. The [cut off] part was bolted to a round
wooden handle roughly 12-14 inches in length.
These items were recovered from a couch near the front door of the
residence.
A
telephone was found on the floor near the north wall of the living room close
to the end of the couch. The phone
receiver was not connected to the base and the wall cord appeared to have been
pulled from the phone base. Several
strands of wire were observed sticking from the cord.
The
body of the victim was removed from the scene by Coroner Kent Hale and the
Medical Examiner’s Office was to be notified by Hale.
