see video post #34.
News7 obtained more surveillance video of 12-year-old Brittany Smith and 32-year-old Jeffrey Easley at a Salem convenience store before they fled to San Francisco, California.
The video was taken Friday night, the same night the two were spotted at the Salem Wal-Mart. After the two were seen at Wal-Mart, maybe less than an hour, the two headed to Apple Market on West Main Street.
First you're going to see a man in a purple car car pull up, and right behind him in the red vehicle are Easley and Smith. Workers inside the store believe the man in the purple car knew Easley, and police have confirmed that to be the true.
You'll see Easley and 12-year-old Brittany walk in. Brittany, employees think, eventually heads to the bathroom.
Easley buys two tins of snuff and about $10 worth of gas, even jokes with the cashier. Store employees say both he and the girl are regular customers, and on this night the video was taken, last Friday, they acted like they normally do.
"Every time they come in here, they are always side by side, all lovey dovey on each other, everything like that so," said Mike Duvall, store clerk.
One thing the cashier told News7 and another worker was that they didn't realize Brittany Smith was 12 until all this hit the media last week. They say she often uses a fake ID when she comes in from time to time.
Roanoke County authorities say they have spoken with the unknown man in the video, and apparently there was someone else in the purple car with him. We're told they're both cooperating with the investigation.
easley is in a psych unit, court on tuesday (tomorrow). i wonder if he threatened to off himself.
