Re: Laura Jean Ackerson -- Deceased 7/13/11 -- Grant and Amanda Hayes Charged With Murder
This is the 'note' that was found in Grant and Amanda's apartment after Laura was murdered. I'm am not buying that Laura signed this note.
I think we will hear more about it.

Written in one hand:
I, Laura J. Ackerson, for the sum of $25,000.00, agree not to pursue custody of the two minor children, Grant and Gentle Hayes. I am not surrendering parental rights, but I do consent to leaving them in the sole custody of their father, for now. Further, I agree to drop all pending litigation against their father in the Lenoir County Family Court.
Written in a separate hand:
By notifying counsel, John Sergeant, of our arrangement less the monetary compensation, I understand that I will be able to see my kids whenever I want to, at the discretion of their father.
Originally Dated 6/13/11; then changed to 7/13/11 with the initials LA and a signature Laura Ackerson.
I think we will hear more about it.

Mr. Wolfe has done another article on Laura's case. Yay! I really do like his articles. However, in this particular write-up I may question a few of his dates, but as this is one of the more complicated cases I have followed in that regard, that's all I'll do--just question.

Kinston.com | Raleigh detectives testify on Ackerson murder investigation
By Wes Wolfe / Staff Writer | Published: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 22:06 PM.
"RALEIGH — Grant Hayes’ own mobile phone gave up his location.
As Raleigh homicide detectives investigated the disappearance of Laura Ackerson and the whereabouts of Hayes, his wife Amanda and Hayes’ children, they called in Keith Heckman — of the Raleigh Police Department’s Tactical Assistance Response Unit — to get tell-tale information from mobile phone use.
With the cooperation of Ackerson’s carrier — T-Mobile — and Grant Hayes’ provider — AT&T — Heckman was able to determine Ackerson’s last call was to Grant Hayes at 4:49 p.m. on July 13, 2011, the day she disappeared.
According to Heckman, mobile phone tower triangulation data put Ackerson in the general area north and east of the intersection of U.S. 70 and I-440 — a route she would have taken after leaving Kinston and headed to the Hayes’ apartment in Raleigh.
In trying to find Grant Hayes’ location, Heckman turned to AT&T’s GPS data, because when on, an AT&T phone sends its general latitude and longitude data to AT&T every 15 minutes. Heckman testified that Grant Hayes’ phone placed him within a 223-foot reliability of Amanda Hayes’ sister’s residence in rural East Texas.
A document provided by AT&T and placed into evidence related the same information."

Hayes bought acid days after Ackerson's death
Posted: 2:32 p.m. today
Updated: 7 minutes ago
Grant Hayes talks with his attorney during his first-degree murder trial on Sept. 4, 2013, as Raleigh police detective Sgt. Robert Latour testifies about security video in which Hayes is seen renting a U-Haul trailer. Prosecutors contend he used the trailer to haul Laura Ackerson's dismembered remains to Richmond, Texas, where they were discovered 11 days after her death.
Raleigh, N.C. — Raleigh police detectives investigating a Kinston woman's death found discarded containers of muriatic acid at the end of a street near the Texas creek where her dismembered remains were recovered more than two years ago, one of the detectives testified Wednesday in her ex-boyfriend's first-degree murder trial.
Sgt. Robert Latour said the containers were similar to the ones that a security camera captured Grant Hayes buying at a Texas Home Depot on July 19, 2011 – six days after Laura Jean Ackerson, 27, was last seen alive and a day after a colleague reported her missing.

Hayes asked relative about alligators
Updated at 03:46 PM today
RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Testimony in the trial of a Raleigh man accused of killing the mother of his two eldest children and cutting up her body dipped into the gruesome Wednesday, as witnesses spoke about the creek in Texas where the woman's remains were found.
~Snipped~
On the witness stand Wednesday, Raleigh Police Department detective Robert Latour Jr told jurors that Hayes purchased muriatic acid at a Home Depot after arriving in Texas and that the discarded containers were found on a street near where Ackerman's remains were recovered by divers with the Houston, Texas police department.
Latour also described the divers finding Ackerman's torso and later her head. He said the head was different in appearance - the inference being that it was placed in the acid before it was put in the water.
Later in the day, Amanda's nephew Shelton Berry spoke about the boat that Grant and Amanda allegedly used to go out on the creek to dump the body parts.
Berry said Hayes had asked him if there were alligators in the water and if they ate people.

WRAL | Photos show Hayes' wife dumping cartons of acid
Updated: 3:30 p.m. | 9/5/13
"Brad Wichard, a homicide detective for the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office, said Amanda Hayes was caught on a security camera dumping four cartons containing seven full one-gallon bottles of muriatic acid at the end of a cul-de-sac 1.6 miles from the home of her sister, Karen Berry. An eighth bottle was missing.
Security video and a receipt from a home improvement store showed that Grant Hayes bought acid, as well as a 32-gallon trash can and a large pair of neoprene gloves.
The packaging from those gloves, Wichard said, was found near an empty hog pen near Berry's home. Police collected samples of discolored soil as well as part of the pen's fence that had been corroded."

The packaging from those gloves, Wichard said, was found near an empty hog pen near Berry's home. Police collected samples of discolored soil as well as part of the pen's fence that had been corroded."

Re: Laura Jean Ackerson -- Deceased 7/13/11 -- Grant and Amanda Hayes Charged With Murder
The short video is very good. It focuses on Karen, Amanda's sister, saying how the defense wants the prosecution to call her; and mentions that Amanda told Karen that Amanda had hurt Laura, quote, "real bad."
The defense tried hard to get Detective Wichard to talk about the above, but they had no luck. :)

ABC11 | Hayes' jury sees coolers that allegedly held body parts
Thursday, September 05, 2013
"A crime scene investigator from Texas also told jurors Thursday about other evidence she found.
"We found the hair stuck to the inside of the trailer," said Kim Oreskovich with the Fort Bend County, Texas Sheriff's Office.
Apparently the hair belonged to Ackerson.
On the witness stand Wednesday, Raleigh Police Department detective Robert Latour Jr told jurors that Hayes purchased muriatic acid at a Home Depot after arriving in Texas and that the discarded containers were found on a street near where Ackerman's remains were recovered by divers with the Houston, Texas police department.
Latour also described the divers finding Ackerman's torso and later her head. He said the head was different in appearance - the inference being that it was placed in the acid before it was put in the water."

Re: Laura Jean Ackerson -- Deceased 7/13/11 -- Grant and Amanda Hayes Charged With Murder
Thanks for the links! Really appreciate.
"..Brad Wichard, a homicide detective for the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office, said Amanda Hayes was caught on a security camera dumping four cartons containing seven full one-gallon bottles of muriatic acid at the end of a cul-de-sac 1.6 miles from the home of her sister, Karen Berry. An eighth bottle was missing.
Security video and a receipt from a home improvement store showed that Grant Hayes bought acid, as well as a 32-gallon trash can and a large pair of neoprene gloves.
The packaging from those gloves, Wichard said, was found near an empty hog pen near Berry's home. Police collected samples of discolored soil as well as part of the pen's fence that had been corroded. ... "
http://www.wral.com/photos-show-hayes-wife-dumping-cartons-of-acid/12854919/
Illegal dumping, at the least.
Soil contamination, an environmental hazard.
Now who buys this acid JUST to throw out the gallons not used?
A logical person would have returned the unused portions to the store for a refund.... That was a LOT of chemical tossed...

I have missed so much of this trial.Very interesting and well documented trial.
Do we know IF any of the nephews, Shelton or Dalton, were with Grant/Amanda when Laura's body was dumped in the creek?
Did either of the two nephews look inside the coolers?
What condition were the coolers in when they were "gifted" to the nephews?
What explanation was offered for WHY Grant/Amanda had so many coolers?
Did the nephews see inside the trailer and perhaps see ALL the boxes of muriatic acid? IF so, did they ask WHY?

This is the location of the remains. From my notes:
(#1 is Shelton's boat, but it is not marked.)
#2 - torso section
#3 - torso section
#4 - leg section
#5 - head
#6 - thigh
#7 - leg section
_________________________
For the location of #7, look right up at the very top of the picture below. Just to the right in the waterway, you should see a very faint red dot. Incredibly, that is where it was found.
_________________________
I captured this to show how much effort the divers put into finding Laura. The depth of the water is about eight feet, and the divers had to part the lily reeds one by one to look through them. They were so thick, high and tight that a boat couldn't pass through.
A little to the right of the center of the picture, you should see something pink. That is a ribbon that they used to mark the location where one section had been found.

Here is a new map adding the stop in Montgomery, Alabama on the 17th.
This is a very rough timeline, but it looks like they left Raleigh on the 16th and arrived in Richmond on the 18th; stayed the 19th, 20th, 21st; and left Richmond on the 22nd and arrived in Raleigh on the 24th.
They were arrested at 1:00 am on July 25th at Grant's parent's home.

A = Grant and Amanda’s apartment Raleigh, NC
B = Motel 6 in Montgomery, Alabama where Grant, Amanda, and kids spent the night of July 17, 2011.
C = Amanda’s sister’s residence on Skinner Lane, in Richmond, Texas.

So if Grant and Laura were NOT legally married...
when they filed their IRS fed taxes... how were they listed?
Do we get to see the IRS going after Grant for his lies?

Graphic testimony dominates Hayes murder trial for third day
Posted: 5:52 p.m. today Updated: 6:00 p.m. today
Snipped:
-----
Raleigh, N.C. — Jurors in the trial of a Raleigh man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend two years ago and dumping her dismembered body in a Texas creek saw more graphic photos Friday of her decomposed remains as Wake County prosecutors continued laying out their case against him.
...
Dr. Nobby Mambo, deputy chief medical examiner of the Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office in Galveston, Texas, who performed an initial autopsy on the remains, testified that he could not determine a cause of death but classified it as "undetermined homicidal violence."
While prosecutors haven't publicly stated their case, witness testimony so far in the trial has suggested that the Hayeses tried using acid to destroy Ackerson's remains.
Dr. Paul Stimson, a forensic dentist, testified Friday he found acid etching on one of Ackerson's teeth, which could have been consistent with a cleaning agent known as muriatic acid.

ABC 11 | Judge tries to limit grisly pictures in Ackerson murder case
Friday, September 06, 2013
Snipped
RALEIGH (WTVD) -- When jurors were initially questioned about serving in the Grant Hayes trial, lawyers asked them if they could deal with looking at pictures of a dead person. Few probably realized how gruesome the case would be.
. . .
The day began with testimony from a forensic dentist who explained how he identified Ackerson through dental records - including showing them pictures of her skull and teeth.
Jurors got a break with the second witness of the day - an investigator who showed them testy text messages between Hayes and Ackerson.

Below is Grant's indictment handed down by the grand jury. It's kind of thin--not much to it, but it does seem to include murder in the second degree as a lesser offense.

That's all I could find, though. WRAL seems to start the videos with the opening statements, so if the judge read the full charges to the jury it doesn't seem to be available. I also checked YouTube, but they all seem to be identical to what WRAL has posted.
I think the judge will read them to the jury again just as they go into deliberations. Hopefully we will get to hear that part.

The following lines are from the chorus. "My babies momma, don't talk to me. Don't want your drama. I got two kids by you; I can't take anymore from you."
The song continues with lyrics about their custody battle. "I would wake up every morning hoping one of us would go, but not me 'cause I'm paying the bills. Find another Sugar Daddy and a wallet with bills 'cause I know that you will when you finish trying to take my kids (unintelligible) that's how you is..."
The song also seems to include a warning for the young mother. "And then she wants me to pay her. You've lost your da-- mind. I put a price tag on your head. That's right. You must have told your attorney I got intentions on killing you. What? (unintelligible) Might stop me, but my bullets will get you soon. I've got my goons from way back. They still owe me money, told them you stayed at my mom's crib. Now ain't that funny?"

Re: Laura Jean Ackerson -- Deceased 7/13/11 -- Grant and Amanda Hayes Charged With Murder
@CP - I checked my notes concerning how many times Amanda has been married. It is 4 times:
1) Amanda's first husband was Sha's father. She separated from him before Sha was a year old.
2) Amanda's second husband was Ron--they eventually separated.
3) Amanda's third husband was Nicky. He died.
4) 10 to 11 years later, and next in line, was Grant R. Hayes, III.
This info comes from Sha's testimony at Grant's trial.

I'm confused. If he wrote a song about killing her, why would the prosecutor object? Wouldn't he want to get that in front of the jury?Nan11 wrote:

Re: Laura Jean Ackerson -- Deceased 7/13/11 -- Grant and Amanda Hayes Charged With Murder
That's an interesting question. The judge sustained quickly, so I'm guessing there had been pretrial motions keeping the song out.CuriousPortlander wrote:I'm confused. If he wrote a song about killing her, why would the prosecutor object? Wouldn't he want to get that in front of the jury?
As to why, since the defense seemed eager to get it in, I'm guessing that Amanda as well as Sha had a hand in the song--either the writing of, or producing, or who knows.
Just look at the witnesses we haven't seen, and are not likely to see--Karen being one of them. Why wouldn't the State call her? Because on cross a lot of questions could be asked. Just sayin'

Look, it’s not that big a deal. You’ll see them in two days, so don’t stress out about it. They are asleep now. What’s your ETA?
No, brat. They were fine Sunday.
Grant called up twice. Said he doesn’t want to talk.
Give me a buzz when they get up. Yes and no work fine. You don’t know me or what I wanted @ 3. Neither do I. Besides, I’m asking—trusting you—because you are wthem. I don’t presume to know anything about what goes on there or what they need in your environment, so I’ll continue to be considerate and available when you feel it’s appropriate. I’m used to being around them a lot more than you are, Laura. My whole life is them, day in and out. The park, the mall, Monkey Joe’s; meals, messes, and bath. That’s the kind of parent I am. Thank you.
Laura, come on! It’s after 3. The business day ends in two hours. I need to tell my attorney something. You’re putting me in a real f’d up position here. Call me asap!
Take a pic for me please. Email it. Thanks. Can you at least give me an idea, like between 7 and 8. Do you have to work or something?
Get them dressed now. You’re welcome.
Nap time. I promised them Joe’s after nap, so I’ll let them sleep as long as possible.
That is exactly where a sick baby should be!!!
Sha took the boys out for a few, so we could get some moving stuff done. I called you to let you talk with them before they left cause they will probably be gone for a few hours. Just showing you I’m a man of my word. What’s up with you? You’re phone has been off every time I called since yesterday. Hit me up as soon as you talk to John. I haven’t said anything to anyone. @

Yeah, their mom will be there in an hour. I told her three. She is a mess. I might just drop them off to avoid drama with her. Getting them dressed now.Text Messages Extracted from Grant’s Motorola Phone:

Kinston.com | Autopsy findings in Ackerson murder revealed to jury
Decomposition hindered cause of death determination
By Wes Wolfe / Staff Writer | Published: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 18:12 PM.
RALEIGH — There were questions in search of an answer that doesn’t exist — at least, not on official records.
Only Grant Hayes and his wife Amanda, both charged with the murder of former Kinston resident Laura Ackerson, know exactly how Ackerson died. They both say they collaborated to dispose of her body, but say the other person killed her in July 2011.
Last week, as prosecutors and defense counsel questioned Dr. Nobby Mambo — the deputy chief medical examiner for Galveston County, Texas — testimony revealed what Mambo’s autopsy of Ackerson stated, which was she was murdered by an unknown method.

Here is a picture of Laura and one of her sons that I hadn't seen before. Look at his little hand, clutching his mother. It's a beautiful picture, but knowing what happened to Laura makes this seem unbearably sad.

Facebook messages: 'Nasty' custody fight was draining Hayes financially
Posted: 2:12 p.m. today
Updated: 2:18 p.m. today
Raleigh, N.C. — A Raleigh man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend wrote in a Facebook message three months before her death that a "nasty" custody battle between the two over their young sons was draining him of his savings.
"Eight-five grand in legal fees, forensic evaluators, shrinks … all on me of course," Grant Hayes wrote in the March 15, 2011, message to a friend. "The good news is that the courts gave primary custody to me of both boys in a temporary order … The bad news is that I've gone from having the financial security to allow my wife and I to stay home all day to selling jewelry just to keep the lawyers on the case and the lights on."

ABC11 | Detectives went through mounds of trash in Ackerson case
Updated at 06:47 PM today
Snipped
---------------
Detective Zeke Morse also read jurors a sampling of Hayes' Facebook messages. In a message posted about seven months before Ackerson's death, Hayes started with an expletive about her, telling a friend "I'm surprised you remembered her name. No one else did."
Ten days after Ackerson's death, he wrote to a friend about her disappearance, saying he was being investigated and wondered if the friend knew of a good attorney who would take the case for free.
"If Laura don't show up soon I may be in for the fight of my life and I'm really scared. Black guy, white girl, custody fight. WTF. This whole thing is top story news here - my picture, here pictures, court papers. It's a night mare. And what's f***ed up is I don't even know until yesterday how big a deal this was. Can you say lawyer?" Hayes wrote.
