Minutes after the [[Assassination of Larry]], McMichael's quickly reported her observations to Porsonville Police Department's [[Sheriff Bart Ernest Matthews Jr.]]  She had been walking home after a full night of hunting for crawdaddies along the [[Opocheeka River]], and broke her routine to take a shortcut across the field, where she nearly tripped over the body of Larry.

According to the [[L.A.R.R.Y.D.E.A.T.H. Report]], no one else witnessed McMichaels before or during her trek to the field. This is often considered unusual given the hundreds of crawdaddy fishers that were visiting the area at that time.
