Pennsylvania State Troopers Office

Telephone Tip Line

Operator: Hello, you have reached the Pennsylvania State Trooper's tip line, do you have information you would like to report?

Speaker: Uh yeah. I think I have something, I'm not sure but, it might be related to the Anna Harris case.

Operator: Okay, what would you like to tell us?

Speaker: Well, I own property nearby the property where they were.

Operator: Okay.

Speaker: And sometimes, when I can't find animals on my property, I mean, my property is much smaller than my neighbor's property - I mean the owner of the 20 square miles around the hunting cabin that they found Carter in, his name is John Maddox. My property is a lot smaller than his.

Operator: Sure.

Speaker: And so sometimes, when I'm low on luck on my property, I just...borrow some of his. I just you know, see if anything is over there. I mean, John never has time to hunt all his land so he doesn't even know.

Operator: Okay.

Speaker: Anyway, I was there yesterday, just checking out his land. I was there with my son, he's only 12. And we had the truck, it was parked up pretty close to the where the stream on John's property hits the road.

Operator: Okay.

Speaker: And when we came back, well, Jimmy's bike was gone.

Operator: His bike?

Speaker: Yeah, we had it up in the back of the truck because Jimmy had been riding it at his grandmother's house. And it was just up and gone. I mean we don't normally lock it up because around these parts people don't just take stuff like that. But Jimmy was pretty disappointed.

Operator: And how big was this bike?

Speaker: Jimmy's about 4'10" now so it was sized for him. A little small for a 15 year old girl, but not unrideable. I reported it stolen to the local police right after we found out it was gone, but it wasn't until later this afternoon when we was watching the news that I thought about it some more and I thought, hey, what if that Harris girl took it.

Operator: That is definitely possible. Thank you for reporting this sir, this could be very helpful to us in solving the case. What did you say your name was again?

Speaker: I didn't.
