A-Alvis likes my family & would only say positive things.  He's also scarred to get involved because they would hassle him.

MR. FUEL ALSO STATED THAT WE MIGHT GET SOME INFORMATION FROM A GREG MARK WHO WORKS FOR CHEM-DRY CARPET CO. OF GREENSBORO. HE HAS CLEANED TED'S CARPET ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VICTIM MAY HAVE MENTIONED TO GREG MARK ABOUT THE BREAK-IN AT THEIR RESIDENCE WHILE HE WAS THERE CLEANING ONE [unreadable word].

MR. FUEL AND I ALSO DISCUSSED THE FACT THAT IF TED HAD A BURGLAR ALARM ON THE BUSINESS, HE MAY HAVE SET IT BEFORE HE LEFT THE BUSINESS AND THE DATE AND TIME SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECORDED BY THE ALARM COMPANY. MR. FUEL STATED THAT TED AND HIS FAMILY WERE GOOD FRIENDS TO DAVE BUTTLER. HE SAID THAT BUTTLER EVEN JOINED TED'S FATHERS CHURCH.
