Sammy Slade, Junior Detective

Last Friday, a judge in Pittsboro cleared Andrew Young of contempt-of-court charges, after Young and his wife swore they’d lost a flash drive containing pictures of a pregnant Rielle Hunter, which the judge had ordered them to turn over. But Hunter’s attorneys have vowed to continue the fight until the drive is recovered, wherever it may be. Well, we here at DSI Witness News think this has gone on long enough, and so, we’ve enlisted one very brave young man to solve the mystery. Here he is, joining us once again: junior detective, and Carrboro Alderman, Sammy Slade. Molly Buckley, Aaron Keck.
