State v. Willis6/30/2003
mond in it. Like an onyx." She said she observed the ring for about five minutes. Ms. Williams was shown Exhibit four, a picture of a girl with a ring. She said that the ring resembled the ring Peggy Shamwell had and that she did not see anything different about it. She said she told the TBI about this and saw the ring several times.
On cross-examination, Ms. Williams said that the whole time Shamwell was showing the ring to Wheeler, she (Williams) was looking at the ring and was not involved in the conversation. She said that she did not know how many diamonds were in the ring, but that it looked like one. She said she heard on the news that there was a missing ring.
Michael Breedlove, a criminal investigator with the TBI, testified he has been the agent on this case since December 1990. He said he interviewed the defendant on December 13, 1990, asking him if he was with the victim the night of her disappearance. He said the defendant told him he was in the same building with her but was not with her. Breedlove testified that the defendant gave no responses to questions about his whereabouts on the night in question and that the defendant was angry and agitated about the investigation. He said the defendant denied that the victim had been in his car on the night in question and that he left the Golden Jukebox to go home around 2:00. He said the defendant said he "had nothing to do with the death of (the victim)."
Breedlove testified that he showed the defendant a screwdriver removed from the defendant's home and told the defendant that they knew what the victim was killed with. He said the defendant became visibly upset, started shaking with his arteries going and lip quivering, and then wanted to end the interview.
He testified that on January 13, 1992, he interviewed Mike Greenfield, and Greenfield never told him he was at Port Royal on September 9, 1990, nor did he tell him anything about pulling his truck near the bridge across from where the victim was found. He said none of that was discussed.
Breedlove testified that the defendant had a two-toned silver and blue Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck in good condition, clean and "sharp."
He said that on February 3, 1993, he went to Elkton, Kentucky to meet with the Kentucky State Police and to interview the defendant. He said he went to the defendant's apartment but did not see him, so he left a card and a note on the defendant's truck. Later, he said he saw the defendant on the town square, then he went back to the defendant's apartment with Detective Charvis from the Clarksville Police Department. The defendant came outside, and they had a very heated, angry conversation. He said the defendant was screaming obscenities and threats at him, telling him to leave him alone and that he was tired of him leaving his business card on his windshield. He said the defendant got within six inches of his face and threatened him, saying he was "going to beat the f--k out of me right now" and also threatening to kill him a multitude of times. He said he and Detective Charvis tried to calm him down. Breedlove said he did not draw his gun during the altercation but did tell the defendant that if he touched him or laid a hand on him he would put a bullet in his brain. He said that evidently someone called the police because they arrived shortly and calmed things down. Breedlove said this incident was the only time in his career that he really felt the person was going to kill him.
On cross-examination, Detective Breedlove said his primary reason for going to Kentucky was to brief the new detective there on the investigation. He said that after seeing the defendant on the town square, they
