Subject left home in yellow Volkswagen Beetle at 3:10 p.m. and drove directly to Sneed's ACE Hardware, 1400 University Avenue, arriving at 3:18 p.m. After she had been inside for thirty minutes, I entered the store and was unable to locate subject. After determining that subject's car was still parked in front, asked the clerk behind the counter if my sister had been in today, describing the subject. Clerk said she had and that she bought three cans of spray paint, one box of rubber gloves, and one tack hammer, paying in cash, before leaving by the rear door. Clerk didn't remember colors of paint purchased. I checked the aisle and discovered fully stocked shelves with empty spaces in the rows containing the colors black, green, and red although I cannot positively confirm that the cans were stocked as indicated. I asked the store clerk if the register captured the part number of items purchased but he said he hadn't scanned the cans of spray paint since he knew the price. I left the store by the rear door and checked the area by foot, but was unable to locate subject.

I returned to the store and again questioned the clerk. Clerk reported that subject used store phonebook to look up number for Oxford City Cab, then remained at counter and used her cell phone to have cab pick her up at Abner's Restaurant, 430 S Lamar, and take her to Animal Clinic of Oxford, 2008 Harris Drive.

....Okay, so what do we think now that we know what it is? Something to throw us off? They HAVE to know that fans are going to investigate every little thing, so I can't imagine them being like, "Just find any old surveillance report and we'll use that. They won't know it isn't about Ben and Jack."
