    When quizzed about Sanders being mad at Geter, source advised that sometime prior, he (source) was at' OS's house - that the Geter boy and another black boy was there, playing with OC's kid, who is white. Sanders came by while he was there. The Geter boy ran into his automobile with a go cart. Source related that Sanders blew his top about this, but there was no damage to the car and source thought it was a thing of the past. This was prior to Sanders saying he was going to kill him.

    Source was asked exactly what Sanders said about killing Geter. Source advised that this was after he tried to get me to help - he pointed at Geter and said - "see that little Black Bastard, I'm going to get him, I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna choke the Black Bastard to death with my ▄▄▄▄". This occurred at OS's house.

    Source advised that this was shortly before Christmas, and"I still didn't think anything about it; just pilled-up Klan talk. Then the next thing I knew Geter was missing. "I (source) went to OS's kid and told him not to go anywhere with anyone other than his father - not even me unless OS was along. The Kid just thought Geter had run away. I told him and OS did also, that they were going to find Geter dead, but the kid still did not believe it. When they found Geter's body, the kid broke up, cried all day.

    Source stated that he would bet his life that Sanders killed Geter and that it is a KKK movement.
