According to a link provided by Alia:
"Booker Tate of AT&G Associates is charged with four felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses, "
Tates5a and Booker Tate. Co-inky-dink?
Plenty o' Tate names registered in Durham, & several Bookers, too, but no Booker Tate. If those crimes were recent, it wouldn't give Booker much time to be reformed.
One of her voter reg. addresses has Crystal living w/the parents, Mary Elizabeth & Travis; the other is with Delores Mangum.
Aunt Shirley Mangum is also listed, living with a Robert Allen.
Last thought of the night: if Crystal's daughter is 12, as another site claims, she had her at 15. Perhaps that's why she told the first rape story - to explain the pregnancy. A 1993 "rape" would equal a 1994 birth.
In re your findings on Booker Tates, I don't think because Tates is in his 40s rules him OUT as a "BF" of Crystal's.
Lavonia Allison was being investigated by the NC Real Estate Commission. The complaints were stacked mile high about her abuses as a slumlord owner and her treatment of anyone who dared to even remotely cross her. So, enter Booker Tates who is charged with making off with lots of money.
Lavonia could have blamed Tates for the missing money, as a resolution for her tense situation with "authorities". Maybe so, maybe not.
I wonder if Tates and Kim knew each other -- both involved with embezzling.
And Lavonia the NC Durham delegate in 2000 and 2004 to the conventions.
And despite the laments by poor blacks in Durham of being intimidated and terrorized by Lavonia, the NAACP goes and gives Lavonia their 2006 Humanitarian Award.
It's all weird.
