| 2. Dallas Mallory |
| Erickson testified he saw and spoke to Dallas Mallory a few minutes after the murder. He testified that he had seen Mallory stopped at the intersection of Providence and Ash. |
Erickson was able to tell police what Dallas was wearing that night. He had been wearing a Police Uniform!
Once the police confirmed this was true they were convinced Dallas must have been at the intersection just as Erickson had told them.
How else would Erickson have known what Dallas was wearing? |
|
This sounded plausible until we located a photograph taken at a party just a few hours before the murder in which Erickson and Mallory are photographed together.
This is how Erickson knew what Dallas Mallory had been wearing that night.
Erickson had seen him at the party earlier that night, not downtown at either intersection as he had stated. This is a link to that photograph view the facts |

Erickson can be seen showing police where he saw Dallas on the interrogation video
But 7 months later after receiving the discovery reports Erickson changed his story to say he had seen Dallas at Providence and Locust heading south in a car with two girls as passengers, still wearing the police uniform.
Is this the person you would want to talk with after committing a murder? A person wearing a police uniform sitting in a car in the middle of one of Columbia’s busiest streets?
The second location where Erickson says he saw Dallas is 4 blocks south of where he says he saw him in his first story. |
