Some of you in here may remember that in our old forum a lady named Samantha Miller posted about her father finding a box of pictures in her grandfather's house after he died. The box included a small photo album with the six original crime photos as well as a seventh photo of two young boys. The boys looked to be about 12 years old and 14 years old. The younger shorter boy in the photo was of her grandfather who she said was the boyfriend of Marie Lawson. She never revealed her father or grandfather's names although I asked her twice. I was real excited by these photos because they were the originals and because Charlie Wade Hampton was Marie Lawson's boyfriend which meant the photo of the younger boy would have to be Charlie Wade. But this cannot be true because I have examined the photo closely and the boy in the photo does not look ANYTHING like Charlie Wade Hampton. Also, when Charlie Wade Hampton's house caught on fire and he died in that fire I was told by both of Charlie Wade's children that the house and ALL of the contents in it was a total loss. Nothing was salvaged. Therefore the man in that photo could NOT possibly be Charlie Wade Hampton. Nor could those photos she sent me have come from his house which was totally destroyed in the fire. Therefore I'm left to ask: Did Marie Lawson have another boyfriend other than Charlie Wade Hampton. He is the only one I have EVER heard mentioned ...but who knows?

OOOOh sounds like she may have had more than one boyfriend. Wait did Charlie Wade have any other children besides Gail and her brother. If not then that tells you right there that there was another man, or that this lady was mistaken.

It would help as well as be interesting to know how long before the murders Marie and Charlie Wade had been dating, going together, stepping out or whatever it was called back then. I also wonder if Charlie Wade had asked Charlie Lawson's permission to marry his daughter. Did he have firm intentions of marrying her or not, or were they still in the "just going together stage.

That is interesting about the 2 other boys. Marie was 16 at the time of the murders and these boys were what looked like 12 and 14? Maybe she dated them before she met Charlie Wade.
Were you able to keep the photos and if so, will they be in the scrapbook?

She has given me permission to keep the photos but not to put them in the Scrapbook in case she is able to sell them. So far she has not gotten back in touch with me as to whether or not she sold them. If she did sell them then if she would let me know who bougt them I could contact that person and see if she or he would let me put them in the Scrapbook. I have my own set of the copies of the original 6 photos given to me by others of the crime scene she gave me which of course will be in the Scrapbook. The only one I don't have other than the copy she gave me is the one of the two young men.
