And he relates that they both go in the house through the sliding glass door and that Marvin goes down the hallway, goes into the first room. Jamie says that Billie Jean comes out screaming. Now, Jamie doesn't say anything about the baby, but says that Billie Jean comes out screaming and runs down the hall the opposite direction
of Jamie, that Jamie hears a gunshot and that Marvin walks out of the first bedroom and makes eye contact with him. And Jamie says that he points the other direction further down the hall and that Marvin then goes down the hall to the second bedroom and that Jamie hears a second shot.
During that second interview, Jamie pointed the finger at Marvin Potter, said that he was the shooter. Jamie Curd took a lie detector test. And at the end of the interview, it concluded with a recorded phone call from Jamie Curd to Marvin Potter.
Asking if he had gotten rid of all that stuff from Bill.
After that phone call that Jamie Curd made to Marvin Potter, law enforcement, they go ahead and get an arrest warrant for Marvin Potter to charge him with first degree murder. It was in the early hours of the next morning that they go to serve that arrest warrant, as well as a search warrant for the Potter residence.
When investigators searched the Potter home, they found an astonishing number of firearms. And this is northeast Tennessee. There's a lot of guns in northeast Tennessee. But boy, were there a lot of guns in the Potter house. I want to say that there were close to 200 firearms found.
Out of all the firearms that were seized from the Potter house, not one of them matched the rifling and the markings that would have been created on the bullets that were found at the scene. So it wasn't any of the firearms that were found in the house.
During the search of the Potter home, Barbara Potter was detained and she was made to sit on the couch in the living room. Well, at one point during the search, Barbara Potter grabs a stack of papers and starts ripping them up. And, of course, she's told, don't do that.
And they look at what she was ripping up, and it was printed photo off, I don't know if it was Facebook or might have even been MySpace at the time. But it was pictures of Billie Jean Hayworth and her friends with captions. Such thing as whores, bitches, and... They need to die.
We knew that when Marvin Potter was arrested that it just didn't feel like we were done.
When Marvin Potter was arrested, his truck was seized as evidence. And a search warrant was written for it. And it was taken to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation crime lab to be just combed through. And there were things found in his truck that were very concerning.
One of those was bullets were found in the console of his truck that had the same scratch marks on them as the bullets that were found at the scene. Same caliber, same markings, the poor man's hollow tips, as they were called.
And in the back of Buddy's truck were several bags of trash. And in these bags of trash were piles of shredded documents. There was a TBI agent that, bless her heart, pieced about 30 or 40 of these pages together from the shredded documents.
And they were printed emails or printed screenshots of social media posts that had been shredded for some reason. And we later found out that that's how Marvin Potter knew what was going on online was Janelle and Barbara would print out the social media posts, these emails with all this just venomous back and forth garbage.
Chris fed the flames for the Potter parents, Marvin and Barbara, in the sense that Chris would back up Janelle, saying that Billy Payne, Billie Jean Hayworth, and their circle of friends were all making threats against Janelle, that they were all you know, out to get her, and that it was just a matter of time before someone came and killed, raped, or otherwise harmed Janelle.
So this CIA agent named Chris is somebody that Janelle would talk about. She talked about the CIA agent with Jamie Curd. She talked about the CIA agent with her mother, Barbara Potter.
This Chris held himself out as having this knowledge because of the special access or the... whether real or not special powers that a CIA agent would have to access phone records, internet records, email records.
Based on the messages, the emails, everything found in the search warrants, you know, Barbara would interact with Chris and agree with him that something needed to be done, would agree with him that, you know, things have got to change. Otherwise, Janelle's in trouble. You know, Barbara even talked about having a training session where they had Jamie come up and shoot guns in the backyard.
And she talked about making a pineapple upside down cake. for after they were done training.
Once we started finding the emails, the messages in the search warrants that matched to the shredded documents, that's when we were able to finally conclude that they must have been printing this stuff off and showing it to Marvin. And in an attempt to convince Marvin that Janelle was in danger and that he needed to take action to basically extinguish the threats to Janelle.
