Just after 11 p.m. on March 11, 1985, less than two hours after the 911 call had first been made to report the shooting at Rising Daughter Baptist Church,

Camden County Sheriff Bill Smith sent out a regional broadcast to local law enforcement agencies in the region.

It said,

Bolo for a 1974 or 1975 Plymouth Duster or Dodge DART, brown and color, possible Georgia

plate. No further description available at this time. Subject driving vehicle will be subject

involved in double homicide that occurred in this county at approximately 9.15 p.m.

Subject described as a white male in early 20s, long stringy blonde hair, approximately 5-6-5-8,

slight build. Subject was described wearing a white t-shirt, dark trousers, and possibly a dark

jacket. In the following days, the Cannon County Sheriff's Office would revise the way it described the killer, but only slightly.

In press releases, the killer was described as, quote, approximately 5-6, shoulder-length light brown or blonde hair, maybe wearing glasses.

Other press releases described the suspect as, quote, a man in his late 20s to early 30s weighing 130 to 140 pounds.

But these initial descriptions of the shooter seemed to be an imperfect fit for the man who would ultimately be convicted in the case.

Dennis Perry's build could be described as thin or slender, that much fits. And he was 23, so he was within the lower range

of most witnesses' age estimates. But he was 5'10, had darker brown hair that fell just below his

ears, and no car of his own to drive, of any make or model. So where did these initial descriptions

the suspect come from? And how did the witnesses who gave these descriptions of the killer eventually come to identify the man they'd seen as Dennis Perry?
