00:00:00
we did talk a little bit about Stacy Stewart but you were talking about where he worked and Stu can you be more
00:00:05
specific like who who is Stacy Stewart why was he here where did he work give me a little more
00:00:13
detail who's Stacy Stewart I mean using his name too I guess might help to uh Stacy Stewart had come to this area to
00:00:24
start um a new company and this they were they were expanding uh new Corp was expanding and and they were opening a
00:00:33
branch called vulcraft of New York uh in Shamong Stacy was one of the first crew
00:00:39
uh that was going to be on site to get that up and running and going he had been staying in a hotel for a very you
00:00:46
know for a lengthy time during this process and lefties where Michelle worked was very close to the hotel had
00:00:54
excellent food obviously great staff um and he would visit visit there quite a bit you know they were pretty limited
00:01:03
what was available to them but he was certainly just in the area to to set up ballcraft of New York um as they were
00:01:10
opening their business here and when you say that he was one of the first members
00:01:16
of the crew to set up but what was he doing do you know either I don't really know I don't know what he was doing I
00:01:22
think they were getting the line set up um going through the interview process I
00:01:27
mean they they were working at the same company at another location so they were
00:01:33
seasoned you know they they knew the process and what is vulcraft I don't know what what kind of business Greg can
00:01:39
explain that better than I can what is it ballcraft is a is a Joyce manufacturing facility um
00:01:47
and um there's seven different divisions around the United States of V crafts um
00:01:54
Stacy worked at the vulcraft in Texas and he transferred here like many other people um there were people that
00:02:04
transferred from Utah from Texas from South Carolina um Alabama there were there's people came from all over the
00:02:11
country here to to get this facility up and running and do you know what Stacy was doing specifically to get it going
00:02:19
um he he worked um you know they had seasoned employees come to train um the people of this area to to get the
00:02:29
the tion line started and what do you know about Stacy Stewart do you know much about him personally or his
00:02:35
background um I actually I worked on the same line as him when I first started um
00:02:40
I didn't work directly with him um so I I I knew who he was I I didn't know a lot about him and and still don't know a
00:02:47
lot about him is it weird you he bought property here and then left it and just moved back to Texas isn't that a little
00:02:55
odd um a lot of people left their home and came here and the large majority of them left and went home um it's it's uh
00:03:06
you know it's a big deal to pack up and and move away from home so um I'd say more than way more than half of the
00:03:14
people that transferred here ended up going back home so it's it's not surprising people left homes people you
00:03:22
know you know went back to their their lives where they came from and you don't think it has anything the fact that
00:03:29
Stacy Stewart bought property here and then left after Michelle disappeared do you think that is all connected in any
00:03:37
way I think it was a coincidence um you know it's it's like I said many many of the the people that transferred here
00:03:45
came they stayed for you know some of them stayed longer than others but it was you know it's it it's tough to leave
00:03:52
home and and most of them ended up going back about how old was Stacy back 2001 one I don't have any idea yeah do you
00:04:02
have any idea how old I don't know how old he'd be now but no time to Michelle did Michelle ever go out with him or
00:04:11
express any concerns about Stacy St the the talk that we had about Stacy is um me and Michelle had talked about
00:04:21
the the new plant that was getting built and some guys um that worked there came
00:04:26
into lefties and she had talked to me about that so I mean I heard Stacy's name in those conversations but it was
00:04:32
just guys that were you know from ballcraft that that came in there for dinner at night you think if she were
00:04:38
worried about somebody she'd tell you oh yes I mean she you know she told us that
00:04:46
she was worried about kale Harris I'm you know that's the one person she ever mentioned or talked about being afraid
00:04:53
of was kale um she never said anything about Stacy or any of the other number of people you know that the the defense
00:05:02
have brought up I'm not aware of any relationship that Michelle had with Stacy other than her working at lefties
00:05:10
and and him visiting there
