THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE WITNESSES
*The original SAO file diagram does not include the Jeffrey Dahmer sketch, or the trucks. I added the vehicles, white bucket and Dahmer's image based on witness statements.
*The bones that were recovered near the bridge turned out to be animal bones.
*The black circles along the fence are the fence posts
Twenty-seven years after Adam's abduction the HPD closed the case on Adam, and I began searching the records, I located witnesses Denis Anthony Bubb and Clifton Ramey, and, a year later, Richard King and Thomas Cameron Hayslip. All four had information about the turnpike that would have been useful in the case as well as exculpatory for James Campbell and Ottis Toole. Over the years, many of the detectives at the HPD made the claim that they had examined the full case files very thoroughly. Detective Smith made this claim after he took over in 1994, and both Matthews and Chief Wagner made the same claim when they closed the case on December 16, 2008. Yet none of these detectives ever called any of these witnesses. I had no problem finding their statements, and I was able to locate all of these witnesses even after so many years.
This is what they had to say:
Witness Denis Bubb talks about the ADAM WALSH case
Lisa Craven Interviews Florida Turnpike Witness Denis Bubb On August 10, 1981, Denis Bubb heard about Adam's severed head being found off the Florida Turnpike near mile marker 130. Denis was a truck driver for the Publix supermarket chain, and was driving his regular route north to Yeehaw Junction, Florida (SR-60) exit at mile marker 149 with an empty double-tow (two-trailer truck). There, drivers would make the exchange for full double rigs that came from the Publix main warehouse in Lakeland, Florida, and then drive back to Publix's North Miami-Dade County warehouse.
