Bullard was abducted by an armed masked man around 1AM on Monday from Bradley Road in Broadway, NC

Wilson shot himself within eyeview of his home on Cameron St., less than 5 miles from the crime scene

David E. Wilson 49, killed himself Monday a few of miles away from the crime scene and half a mile or so from his house. When Wilson was approached by a sheriff deputy he shot himself in the chest. Our investigation found that Wilson was convicted of second degree murder in 1975 for the murder of Thomas C. Corney at the Sundown Lounge in Cumberland County. Wilson was kicked out of the bar earlier and returned with a gun to shoot Mr. Corney. Clarence Jacobs, a patron of the bar fired his own weapon at fleeing Wilson striking Wilson in the leg. Wilson was sentenced to 40-60 years in prison in '75 after pleading down to 2nd Degree Murder and was released from parole in 2003. The DOC lists his height as 5'10 inches with brown hair and brown eyes, he had numerous infractions while in prison, including assault, weapons possession, drugs, creating an offensive condition and September 1980 escape with another inmate from the Wagram Prison. Wilson was captured in Flint, Michigan, where his sister lives, after a high speed chase and crash that injured Wilson (note scars on Wilson's face in above photo) and killed the fellow inmate whom he had escaped with 3 weeks earlier.

Pond behind scene of the crime. It is reported that a K-9 from Harnett County tracked a scent to the pond immediately after the abduction. Pond was searched on Monday and again on Thursday. The pond is accessable by vehicle, the path leads from crime scene 400+ yards to pond. Could this have been where the kidnapper parked?
