Here's a question: How do we truly know that you're not Paul Vernon asking questions about your long-time partner, Jim Shockney, in seeing if he sung to the authorities? That's how your line of questioning comes across.
Paul Vernon would no doubt contact his friends himself to ascertain what was what...
So does anyone know what happened to this Jim bloke if/when the law enforcement officers spoke to him?
Call and ask him yourself: 602-386-0115. It ain't rocket science.
