"In addition, Julie Mills originally put his stuff under the wrong customer's name and didn't even know that until she tried to give the stuff to that customer and the customer said it wasn't hers. Then, she didn't tell the police what items she DID enter and told him about items she DIDN'T enter. AND, she originally didn't remember any details (color, etc.) about any of the items she originally checked in. Later, she remembered that the jacket was green and the bedding was floral and striped."

"Sounds like some serious confusion at the drycleaners to me."

Just saw a new thread in breaking news. Two girls missing, possibly Fresno area. I don't know how to link to another thread. Sorry.

Excellant point! We're dealing with a very suggestable person here. No wonder she finally recognized the clothes, because the police kept telling her what to say and think. Is the cop that searched 4 drycleaners before going to the one he was told to go to, her brother?
