Here are some important things witness #1 says:
She says she was in the kitchen cooking dinner, window half open (sliding glass door?). Her kitchen is downstairs near the back of the house.
She heard a weird, screaming noise that sounded like a kid moaning, groaning, but it was garbled. Something like "No" or "ahh". Couldn't make out any words.
They were running in the back.
Her light was the only one on so it was very dark.
She looked out the window but couldn't see anything.
She went to the door and saw figures and moving arms flailing and couldn't make out anything more. Nothing in their hands.
She thought it was kids playing around, rough housing.
She saw her male neighbor across the way, witness #6, come out on his porch at the same time. (He says his porch light is always on.) He was wearing something dark on the top and sweat pants.
He asked the figures "What's going on?" and that he was going to call 911. No response. She had been looking out for about 20 seconds. Did not see Austin McLendon.
She intends to go outside because she thinks it's kids out there, so she went back to turn the stove off,
that's when she heard the shot.
--------------------------------------------------
These statements will at times contradict the others. When all witnesses are aligned they will present a composite picture that may be added to what George, Frank, and DeeDee say. At times their subconscious may know more and better questions could bring it out. Notice she says witness #6 was outside on his porch. This is what witnesses 5 and 16 did; they came out on their porch right after the shot.
Lighting conditions can be reconstructed through witnesses. The porch light seems to impair one's own vision beyond the porch. Lights across the way might create silhouettes. Seems likely that more lights would be turned on as folks hear the disturbance and become alarmed.
I'm very interested in the times of these events. The sequence and timing can probably be created from merging and comparing all the witness accounts.
