Do We Have Any Members...
Who work at the Gold Club in East Memphis? I'm sitting here watching the news, and they just busted a girl who danced there (Melissa Farris?). She and her companion in the car were apparently wanted for a murder of another girl who also worked at Gold Club. I guess that while the chase was on, She turned the gun on the companion, and shot him in the head killing him. She surrendered after killing him. The chase was in Florida on I-95.
Anyone have an inside scoop for me? Story below:

Corie Duckett has been missing since March 17, 2005. Yesterday, a Memphian Melissa Ferris confessed to killing Corie Duckett. It happened after a high-speed chase and a shooting is Jacksonville, Florida.

Wow, that's sad news. I do appreciate, however, that they didn't focus on her job in the headline, such as "Stripper Murdered in Memphis" or anything like that. The media always seems to do that.
Re: Do We Have Any Members...
wow I'm heading to Jacksonville tomorrow. I'll see if my mom has the paper.
Re: Do We Have Any Members...
Yeah.. At first when they started reporting the story, they said they just worked at a nightclub here in Memphis. They didn't even mention it was a strip club (and what club it was) until later on. Very cool of them.

Rhi, is that the club out at Summer and I think it is White Station? That place was always being raided by the fuzz, and always seemed really seedy.

God, what the hell are people thinking?! That's just sick. You can't go anywhere these days...
Re: Do We Have Any Members...
I'm in the Florida area RIGHT where it happened. I heard a thing on the radio about it...the chase was a mile from my house....SCARY

It was front-page news yesterday. Today, it's the front-page of the Greater Memphis section. It says that the murdered dancer's body has not yet been found. Any information that Melissa Ferris has given the police, has turned out to be false. She told them that she and the boyfriend dumped Corie's body off the interstate in North Mississippi. They've searched and so far found nothing.
Blue, I have no idea where this is.. LOL.. I'm still trying to find my way around this place. All I know is it's in East Memphis, I'm in Midtown. I think it's where you said though. They reported "live" from outside the club the night Melissa was caught. Didn't look familiar to me because I haven't been out that way, but Dan thinks he's passed it a couple times when he was on the road doing deliveries. But he doesn't remember much about anything. Not very bright, but I do love the mofo.
It's sad though, I hope they find her body. They don't even have a motive yet. But I have a strange feeling that it's some kind of love triangle thing.
Oh, and she's being held in jail, but only for the murder of the boyfriend. So, I do hope they find Melissa's body.
