Waffle House phone call

I don't know what it's doing in the Catawba Valley region, but it is poring down here. The power flickered off in the court room just minutes ago before our afternoon break. At least the crowd got a chuckle when Robert Campbell said he hopes the air conditioner comes back on. It's not that big of a courtroom, especially with a bunch of people. I imagine it could get hot. Well, lets hope we make it through the afternoon with power. I know we need the rain.

So in the last hour and a half, Mike Griffitt, Emily's brother finished up and then Johnny Bolden took the stand. Bolden is a district manager at three Waffle Houses in the Duncan, S.C., area. He took the phone call on Saturday, Jan. 7, around lunch time. The caller said there is a white truck parked out back, Bolden testified, and the truck is wanted in a missing person's case from North Carolina. When Bolden asked the caller who he was, Bolden testified the caller said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I would feel better if you call the police and they check it (the truck) out."
Bolden says he remembers seeing the truck for about 10 days prior to receiving that phone call. The truck was parked behind the Waffle House, but in the hotel, located next door, its parking lot. He feels the truck was never moved.
Later that day, Jan. 7, Emily Anderson's body was found in that truck.

It's getting interesting folks. I'll be back around 5.
