Detective Bergamine

So officers and detectives were called to the scene.

They did notate that there were tire tracks in the sand, and they actually took a tire cast from those tracks.

They also found several items of evidence that they documented.

They observed some blood in a dirt area approximately 50 feet away from the water.

Around that same area there's a disturbance in the sand.

From that disturbance in the sand they then see drag marks which appear to be like someone's feet dragging towards the water.

Some items of evidence that they collected was a pink wallet or purse, an earring that matches the one that Jimmy had on.

They also collected a beer carton as well as two beer cans with that, a condom wrapper, a condom that was used, and a military-style belt buckle.

The belt buckle is described in the file as being a military style belt buckle, which led me to believe that it probably did belong to a male.

There were several tips that came in.

Detectives did follow up on a lot of those tips.

They continued to come in even months after the case, and they did make contact with several people.

People frequenting that area and picking up sex workers was a common thing.

So on the early morning hours at approximately 12.30 or 1 a.m., Victor Bowling and James Oxendine see the two white males in the red GMC pickup truck in the area of Bragg Boulevard.

At approximately 2 a.m., they see the same red truck with the two white males with Jimmy inside the truck.

They provided a pretty detailed description of the truck, that there was a Fort Bragg or military sticker on the rear window, and possibly three gray stripes, and it was a later model GMC pickup truck.

Detectives also got information from them that one of the white males stated to the other white male, let's go Shea.

The occupants of the trailer then advised that two white males get into a red GMC truck and they drive away to the same direction as where Jimmy was last seen walking.

So they took cast of the tires at the boat ramp as well as tire tracks at 818 Shaw Road.

They sent those both to the state lab to be compared.
