Page "West Memphis Three" Paragraph 28

The sighting of a black male as a possible alternate suspect was implied during the beginning of the Misskelley trial.

According to local West Memphis police officers, on the evening of May 5, 1993, at 8: 42 p. m., workers in the Bojangles ' restaurant about a mile from the crime scene in Robin Hood Hills reported seeing a black male who seemed " mentally disoriented " inside the ladies ' room of the restaurant.

The man was bleeding and had brushed against the walls of the restroom.

Officer Regina Meeks responded to the call, taking the restaurant manager's report through the restaurant's drive through window.

By then, the man had left and police did not enter the restroom on that date.
