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.<ref name=":1" /> | 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.<ref name=":1" /> | ||

During the line-up (a.k.a. "show-up") of Paul Stoffer Adams, Jane Porson McMichaels successfully identified him as the killer, despite having never seen him before and finding the body of Larry many hours after his murder.
