John Ferguson immediately recognized one of two men walking towards him on the evening of July 9, 2019.

“Mr. Busch said, ‘Great dog’ and Mr. Armitage said, ‘Yeah, great dog.’ To which I replied: ‘He’s a big baby.’ ” “I immediately recognized Mr. Busch,” Ferguson testified. “Mr. Armitage had his hood up, but I believed these were the two who had escaped William Head.” After the two men were a little distance away, Ferguson began to follow them. When he reached an area with a small island and a large rock, he asked a young couple if they had seen two men.Ferguson continued on. He tried calling 911, because his phone had become disconnected.

Ferguson told prosecutor Chandra Fisher he recognized Busch because he has very distinctive features.
