I followed subject into the store. Posing as a shopper, I watched subject select 2 boxes of computer paper and an office chair. Subject lingered in paper supplies aisle; visual confirmation that subject looked at and handled certain packets at end of aisle. Subject replaced all packets onto shelf, purchased only the computer paper and chair.

After subject left, proceeded to end of aisle; packets were do-it-yourself legal aides. Two packets were placed backward on shelf: Business Partnership legal paperwork (form, dissolve, merge businesses) and divorce legal paperwork. While I can NOT positively confirm that subject had handled either packet, I believe based on visual estimates that these were among those he had handled.

Left Pitner Office Supply, having lost track of subject. Found subject again at work, unloading the computer paper and office chair from vehicle. Subject remained at work until 6:30 p.m., at which point he and client drove directly home.

• Brief questioning of a clerk (Josh Bullock) at Kiamie's Bowling Center revealed that subject was a semi-regular who often came on Tuesday nights to participate in league bowling. Clerk, who works every Tuesday night and is acquainted with subject, spoke very freely about the subject, stating he seemed very preoccupied and withdrawn on Jan. 16.

• Posing as a customer at Southern Beauty, I was able to determine female seen with subject to be Missy Hammond. Conversations with Southern Beauty employees heavily suggested that Missy Hammond had discussed how wonderful subject was, and popular opinion seemed to be that she was interested in getting back together with him.

Summary

CASE SUMMARY REPORT

Case Number: Kirby98751
Hire Date: 15-Jan-2001
Length of Investigation: 14 days, from 15-Jan to 28-Jan, 2001
Date Filed: 29-Jan-2001

INVESTIGATION FINDINGS:

It is not possible to conclusively determine that the subject is involved in an extra-marital affair. All direct evidence suggests that subject and Missy Hammond have a strong friendship at the very least, and extra-marital activity cannot be completely discounted.

Friends and co-workers of Missy Hammond seemed to believe that if there was not an affair taking place, that one was likely to begin soon.

Additionally, the furtive nature of the subject's contacts with Ms. Hammond suggests that he was uncomfortable with being seen in public while in her company.

Also, the subject seemed emotionally withdrawn and agitated, based on visual observation and conversations with an eyewitness.

All of these factors, combined with my suspicion that the subject was inspecting a do-it-yourself divorce packet, lead me to believe that the subject is currently considering ending his marriage to the client.

This information was delivered to my client today after she terminated surveillance on the subject yesterday (following the news of Missy Hammond's death).

At that time, she requested all photographs and notes be given to her. Her bill has been partially paid, and satisfactory payment arrangements have been made.
