In researching the Keddie case, I located a supplement by myself and
Detective Forcino where we talked to Richard Meeks of Quincv on June 3
1981. Meeks told us that a couple of weeks prior he was talking to a guy
named "Steve" about the Keddie murders and the guy said he was in Keddie on
the night of the homicides and walked past the Sharp home around 2300 hrs
and again around 0200 hrs. Meeks didn't know the guys last name but said he
was about 6-1. 190 lbs, around 28 years old and had a mustache. The guy told
Meeks that he was "toasted on acid at the time." We have never been able
to identify "Steve" however with the new information concerning Steve
Howard from Mrs. Alvey, he could be the one Meeks was talking to. At that
time, Steve Howard was 25 years old. brown hair, 6-l, at least 165 lbs and
had a mustache.
