Episode 4. OLD BADRACK: Sandy Conover says the deer was badly injured

Concern now is whether the deer has survived all he's been through; latest eyewitness wonders how he's made it as far as he has, after he leapt over the little brick wall at Dr. Brown's office on to Adam's Alley below.

Brad Conover just called in a report that his wife, Sandy Conover, the secretary in Gail Williams Law office, saw the deer in yet another of it's runs.

Sandy Conover said, when called at the office, that she had seen and heard the deer.


"When I saw it I raced to the window," she said. "It all happened very fast."

"It came by from the direction of Radio Shack," she said. "It hit our window and left a lot of blood," she said.

Mrs. Conover ran outside, and saw the deer clear the curved brick wall by Dr. Janella Brown's office, and heard the deer land in Adams Alley. She ran to the the Alley to see where the deer had gone, but lost sight. "I can't imagine how it survived the jump," she said.

"The fence the city put up around the Old Poolroom lot was shaking, so I think it must have brushed against that fence or jumped it," she said.

She said she didn't actually see the deer after she saw it jump the brick wall. But she thinks it went north on Campbellsville Street, toward the funeral home.

This now fills in another piece of the puzzle, and Mrs. Conover's witness corroborates every other witness's accounts and conjecture.

It reports we have puts the deer:
  1. 1) At the courthouse air conditioning cage, as described by Wid Harris and Danny Mouser.

  2. At the stairwell of the Adair County Courthouse Annex, as described by Jeff Feese

  3. Back around the square toward Jamestown ST,as theorized by Danny Mouser and once again removing all doubt that Danny Mouser has inherited good genes from his Daddy for knowing Animal Behavior

  4. Went past the Russell Building, the Gail Williams Law Office (Grider or Lany Bray Building), north on the Well Walk to jump the curved brick wall at Dr. Janella Brown's office, plummeted onto Adams Alley, and probably went down Campbellsville ST to Reed, thence past the Grissom's, past the bank, down the road by Danny Waggener's wholesale house, into the Christian Church Park and by the Pavilion, thence into the Trabue Woods, as the eyewitness report of Sandy Conover, the second hand report of Brad Conover, and the highly reliable account by David Martin all attest.
Now, many are worried about the deer's condition. At least one search party is working to find the deer.
