Candace Wood

·  She was friends with Holly Bobo and went to church with her. 

·  Her boyfriend, Justin Lowry, worked with Drew Scott. 

·  Her boyfriend was friends with Drew Scott, and they went to on a double date to the Coon Hunt the Saturday before the abduction.

·  She states that they were looking at a vendor with Holly, and she was people-watching.

·  She saw a man in camouflage (everyone was in camouflage) with red hair. She describes him as “tall and fat.” She states he was on a phone, moving dirt with his foot, and looking at her and Holly. He did this repeatedly, making her uncomfortable.

·   She told her boyfriend she wanted to leave but did not say anything to Drew or Holly. She thought he was looking at them “in a flirtatious way.” A week or so after learning Holly was missing, Karen reached out to Candace, asking if she noticed anything unusual at the Coon Hunt. She then reported to Karen and law enforcement what she had seen. She described the individual to a sketch artist. She identifies the sketch in court. 

·  The man has glasses and does not have the facial scarring Shayne had at this time.

·  Karen showed her a photograph of Shayne Austin (also without the facial scarring), and she identified him as who she saw at the Coon Hunt. 

·  She spoke to law enforcement on June 26th.

·  She states this encounter was between 11:30 and 12.
