Got me again...

I d like to see the location on google maps where the cabin was. if someone could post it.

Wow , what a time to resurrect this thread, the Mrs. just read in the local paper that Frank Potts died last week in the Florida Prison.

I spent a many of nights in that big army tent that was up there. Champion paper company charged 5 dollars for a permit in the late 70’s. I often thought about Potts after all that came out. Brother-in-law built a cabin up there in early 80’s and stayed in it a lot too

Which forty was his Anthony? In ‘89 I would’ve been a year away from being in my mommas belly lol. I know the area quite well but haven’t heard the story till reading this.

Cliff notes for anyone interested.

I'm not a criminologist or shrink but , I don't think he was a serial killer , just a born killer. The people missing he had contact with are all ages , sexes, a large cross section. He got in a tight situation , he killed. I reckon only one body has been found . If you talk to those who investigated this , they say there's many more . There's a heck of a book and movie there , but little is know about what happened and Potts ain't talking, never did.

As of last fall he was still alive. Sorry I just saw your post.

That’s the one I thought. Thank ye kindly

Charles is still alive both his daughters go to church with me. One of his son-in-laws is Pudge Bailey that works at the post office and is on the scottsboro city council. Y’all got me wanting to ask them about Pott’s I may be lucky to be alive as much time as we spent on Garret mountain. We made a many of trail rides up goat point all the way to the fire tower and eat at Giffords grocery. I am sure 2 dogs has had a meal there. She had a way with words lol one day one of our buddy’s tried to buy beer from her on Sunday. He walked in and told her I ain’t the law she told him I don’t give a da## who you are you ain’t getting it

Fire tower was on top of mountain at Keith springs Tennessee looking off at Winchester

Been to Mamma Gifford's many times back in the day. Several times through the mountains , but never out the North end of "Garrett". Been through Crabtree Cove and up Estill Creek / Keller Creek out to Keith Springs . Estill / Keller Creek to Keith Springs was a very long , rough ride, just to get a Bologna Sammich and a case of beer.
