TUESDAY JANUARY 10 - (yesterday's update)

PLACES LIKE THIS EXIST ALL AROUND BROADWAY

The place above is tucked back into the woods, not visible from the road. There are many places such as this all around Broadway. This particular spot is near David Wilson's home.

These are the type of places that need to be checked out. EVERYWHERE!!! Property owners need to walk their property. If you know of a place such as the one above, check it out. If you see something suspicious, DON'T TOUCH IT!!!! CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY AND WAIT.

If you hunt or fish offer your boat, your ATV to aid in the search.

Noting much has developed since Michelle was abducted.

What we know is that Michelle Bullard is still missing. We know law enforcement has suspended the ground search. We know a dead man can't talk. But the dead man, David Wilson, 49 did talk just before he died. Among other things, Wilson told his brother that he had driven around aimlessly the night and day Michelle disappeared. We know he told his brother that he spent the night in a parking lot of a grocery store in Spring Lake. We know that people on long crack binges do not just pull into a grocery store and fall asleep.

What we don't know is why he said he was in Spring Lake. Was it to cover himself in case someone saw him in town? Has he recently done work on a vacant rental house down there and had access to it? Could he have taken Michelle there with a pocket full of cash to purchase drugs and to party? Someone down there has seen him. Someone may have seen Michelle.

WRAL

The news media has made a mistake posing suspicion in the public's mind about a possible link between Bullard and Wilson because the two were spotted in the same convenience store. How many convenience stores are in Broadway? One. Wilson's wife had sent her husband to the store to get something for her. He left home and minutes later he is seen on the store's surveillance tapes purchasing that item. Michele was also in the store. Absolutely no relationship. No prearranged meeting, just chance.

You will not be able to find a soul that will say that Michelle knew David Wilson. But you will be able find people that know that Wilson is capable of murder. The witnesses that were in the Sundown Lounge the night Wilson shot a man after he was thrown out, said he was coming back to kill Corney, came back and shot Corney just like he said he would. Wilson plead down from First Degree murder and that convicted Wilson in 1975 for killing Thomas Corney in cold blood. You might have been able to find another 12 people in Michigan for the vehicular manslaughter of his fellow escapee in 1980 when Wilson was on the run after he escaped from prison and was attempting to flee from police (just as he did the evening he shot himself) and crashed his car in a high speed chase killing the passenger.

As I mentioned in a previous posting, had that chase and death happened in North Carolina, Wilson could have been charged with First Degree Murder for the death of his partner in crime. If a person, while in commission of a Felony causes the death of someone, that person can be tried for First Degree Murder. So in my book this dead piece of crap is a two time murderer. And if he is capable of one home invasion, one that I might add is extremely brazen and seems to have been triggered on the spur of the moment, then who says he hasn't done this 20 times before? What other unsolved home invasions are there in a 100 mile radius? What robberies, burglaries or rapes have been committed in the past couple of years since he has been off parole?And by the way, if you are wondering how a man like Wilson, sentenced to 40-60 years in prison, 13 infractions while in prison including escape, how a man like that could be out in half the time is beyond me. That is a question for one of the liberal public servants you've elected to make those decisions not me.

Hopefully the $10,000 reward being offered will get a few tips for law enforcement to follow.

Speaking of law enforcement, I know we have been critical at times, and I know we don't know a third of what they know about this case but both my brother and I were raised by two athletes. Our father was an All Star when played football for Duke, and our mother competed around the country showing horses. She rode one of the Champion Show Horses of all time, named DDT. They always said "You can do better." Neither of them knew the word quit. Encouragement to succeed came more from a disciplined theory of repetition "Do it over until you get it right." Sort of like an old-school coach like Vince Lombardi or my man Coach K, drills and exercises, repetition over and over, everything can be improved, never quit.

Speaking of Coach K, I am such a big Duke fan, I am the type that yells at the television during a ballgame. Screaming at refs and players, just like most obnoxious Duke fan that i am. I've been known, on many occasions to even cuss my favorite players when I know they can do better. It doesn't mean I don't like them or I think someone else could have done better, it just means I am a fan, and as a fan sometimes I forget I am not on the bench. But cheers and jeers from the fans do motivate, think K'ville and the Cameron Crazies and how it creates a ten point advantage when they are at home.

The Blue Line is all about being a fan of good police work, we cheer louder than anyone. But to be close enough to hear our cheers, you will also hear our jeers. Thanks to all those men and women in law enforcement that, with their dedication and determination, have served the community of Broadway proudly by working so hard to bring Michelle home. God bless each of you.

We know you won't give up on Michelle or any other victim. If you didn't have the heart to do what you do, surely you would be doing something else, making more money, spending more time with your family and definitely not taking any more potshots from people in the peanut gallery.

Thanks a lot, and be safe!
