The original suspect composite by eyewitness Chris Hensley the night of the robbery and shooting looked nothing like John Boyd Frazier

The police and prosecution would disregard Chris Hensley’s composite and description, but it would seem that Hensley’s were far more accurate, that he was more visually aware of his surroundings that night being that he noticed Brent and Kimberly having relations a ways off in passing them, that he correctly identified Brent’s striped shirt in that distance at night, and that the man covered in dark clothing walking north and him walking south passed within 10 feet of each other, so close that Hensley offered the passing man a greeting.

Chris Hensley’s composite and description would strongly resemble an alternate suspect (bartender Bruce) who, through new evidence found, had been criminally stalking and maliciously keeping tabs on Kimberly Renee Poole starting at least 6 months prior.

It’s been said that Chris Hensley was threatened by the prosecution. They allegedly were threatening to ‘out’ him as a gay man walking the beach that night with his boyfriend. Chris Hensley was 18 or 19 at the time and this was South Carolina in 1998. Even now in 2018 being gay in deeply conservative South Carolina can be a liability.
