KENTUCKY STATE POLIC KYIBRS INITIAL REPORT (WALKER)

September 11, 2007 / 2000 hours I Arrival at Fort Campbell, Interview Brent Smith MP station.

I along with Det. Gillingham and Tpr. Oldham arrived at the MP station at Fort Campbell Ky. and met with several members of Brent Smith's chain-of-command. I along with Det. Gillingham had interviewed Brent Smith for several hours during the course of the visit at Fort Campbell Ky. During this interview Brent Smith had provided several different versions regarding his whereabouts during the early hours of September 11, 2007. The three versions of statements are described in chronological order.

Brent Smith described how he had picked up his children from Karen Green's residence on the morning of September 8, 2007 and stayed in the Hardin County Jefferson County area during the visit with his children. Brent Smith stated that when he arrived at the residence Tracey Smith wasn't present and he stated that she was more than likely at work (North Hardin Nursing Home). I asked Brent Smith when was the last time he spoke to Tracy Smith and he described how it was Wednesday or Thursday before September 11, 2007. It was later discovered that he spoke to Tracy Smith while she was at work on September 8, 2007; when questioned regarding his false statement he admitted that he did contact Tracy Smith on September 8, 2007 and he overlooked that conversation. I asked Brent Smith when was the last time he saw Tracy Smith in person and he described how Tracy Smith arrived at their old residence in Clarksville TN. approximately 2 weeks ago and she had removed some linen from the residence to include a pistol. I asked Brent Smith to give me more information regarding the firearm and he described how it was a Ruger semiautomatic and he thought the caliber was 40 cal or 45 cal. I thought it was unusual that he was in the military and he didn't know the caliber of his firearm. Brent Smith described how this firearm was a gift from Tracy Smith's father and he received the firearm on or about Easter 2007; it was later determined that the caliber was 9mm.

Brent Smith stated that when he returned his children to Karen Green's residence on the evening of September 8, 2007, he described how he entered the residence to utilize the restroom and he immediately left the residence a short time thereafter and proceeded back to Fort Campbell Ky. Brent Smith stated that he hasn't been back to Hardin County since September 8, 2007. Brent Smith who is a military police officer described how on September 10, 2007 at 1300 hours he reported to work and was assigned to patrol duties. Brent Smith stated that his patrol partner was 'Private First Class Aulden who was interviewed by Det. Gillingham. See Det. Gillingham's attached supplement regarding interview.

Brent Smith described how he logged in his military issued firearm at 2200 hours and he proceeded to Central dispatch and spoke with two female dispatchers that were on duty. Brent Smith then described how he left the dispatch center and went to his room at the barracks he resides at and. changed into civilian clothing. Brent Smith then described how he used an ATM machine at the PX at 2253 hours and withdrawn $83.00. This info was verified by his bank records. Brent Smith stated that he purchased the female dispatchers coffee and soft drinks 'and proceeded back to central dispatch. Brent Smith implied how he was with the dispatchers until 0200 hours September 11, 2007, and immediately following that he proceeded off base and visited several automobile dealerships located in the surrounding area of Fort Campbell Ky.

Brent Smith stated that he first preceded Toyota and Patriot car dealerships in search of a pick-up truck. The above mentioned locations are in Hopkinsville Ky. approximately 10 miles north of base. Brent Smith described how he didn't actually park on the lot of the dealerships; however, he described how he had driven on the service roads adjacent to the lot. The two dealerships are

directly next to each other. Brent Smith then describes how he proceeded to a dealership in Clarksville TN. named Wyatt Johnson. As his earlier statement Brent Smith describes how he parked adjacent to the lot not putting him self directly on the lot. Brent Smith implied he arrived back at the barracks approximately 0300 hours and went to sleep. I asked Brent Smith if his roommate (PFC Hebner) was in the room and if so was he awakened; Brent Smith, replied "no." It was later discovered that Brent Smith's roommate, Colton Hebner, had awakened at 0530 hours and Brent Smith wasn't present in the room. I asked Brent Smith if he had placed fuel in his vehicle during the early morning hours of September 11, 2007 and he replied "no."
