Who: Kevey Coleman, witness What he said: Coleman never came forward until the 1986 SBI investigation. He said he had been dropped off at Sixth and Cherry streets on his way home from his job at the Coca-Cola plant. To get home, he cut through the grassy area between Marshall and West End Boulevard. He told the SBI that he was not wearing his contact lenses that morning, but did see two black men with a white woman, in the street near West End's intersection with Sixth Street. They were walking north on West End, in the same direction as he was, and one of the men had his right hand around the woman's upper arm and armpit as if escorting her. Coleman, nervous about the group, quickened his pace; he noticed the threesome reach the curb on West End and head for the park and grass. He said he reached home and saw or heard nothing more. He said he thought the men looked dirty and were street people. He also said that he had seen pictures of Hunt and Mitchell in the newspaper, and he could not say if the people he saw were the two suspects. Nor could he say for sure that the woman was Deborah Sykes. |
