April 15, 1997 - Crowd Awaits
Suspects' Arrival
The arrival of numerous media representatives in the
early afternoon Monday to await arrival of the prisoners was followed by a crowd of
onlookers which continued to grow with each passing hour. By the time the motorcade
arrived over one hundred people had gathered outside the
Greene County Detention Center. Jo Ann Ward, who lives in the Baileyton community tells
why she came.
