FROM THE GAS STATION CLERK (dad's the owner)...
Ali Alsanai, who runs the gas station where surveillance video shows Jessica Chambers in her last hours, may have been one of the last people to talk to her.

Now Alsanai says he is receiving death threats because some believe he is involved in Chambers' killing.
"So now people threatening me to kill me...It got to this point.???... N I was the 1 tryna help!!!" he wrote on his Facebook page on Sunday.
Alsanai said nothing was out of the ordinary when he saw her. "See that's why everybody's shocked, because she was normal that day," he said. "She just pumped the gas like she always do, she left, and two hours later we just heard what happened, you know, and we were shocked, because you would have never thought that would happen to her, and the way that it happened to her, because she didn't deserve that. Nobody deserves that."
Police have said they do not have a suspect or person of interest that they can talk about at this point. Alsanai was working on the night Chambers died.
According to Courtland residents, Chambers was in the store almost every day. That's how Alsanai knew her.
"I knew her very well. If something was going on, she would have told me. She would have told me 'I'm having a problem with somebody,'" he said. "But she was smiling, and she left, and that's the last time I saw her."
Alsanai told WMC-5 that a stranger told him, "Somebody is going to have to pay for what they did to that girl." Another person wrote, "I hope somebody burns you and your store down," in a Facebook post.
Ali Alsanai, who has since received death threats from people he doesn't even know, talks to the Clarion-Ledger about Jessica Chambers' last visit to his store.
Accusations are also coming from a blog. Alsanai says a lot of the information on the blog and social media are lies, including accusations that he is a gang leader. He told WMC it has affected business.
"Saying I'm a leader in a gang Black Squad, that I'm selling drugs at the store," commented Alsanai. "They're ruining our business. Ever since they started talking, we've been slow."
Officials wouldn't comment on specific witnesses, but Sheriff Dennis Darby said the accusations online are getting out of hand. "They're accusing everybody. Here we are with the general public trying to take something off Facebook and solve the investigation," he said.
