BACKGROUND
Agent Davis, Captain Kerr and myself arrived at Porterdale by Atlanta PD helicopter. We were to join a multi-agency force which was to investigate and contain what was thought to be a possible kidnapping site. The house in question is the residence of Robert Johnson Snr. whose car had been used as a get-away vehicle in the kidnapping of Nurse Susan McCall from outside the Atlanta Veterans Hospital earlier that day. Given the possible volatility of the situation Captain Astrand of the Atlanta PD authorised the use of a SWAT team to enter and control the premises.
Upon entering the household, the team discovered a large group of adults and a number of children engaged in what appeared to be an organised gathering, possibly a family dinner. Further investigations revealed that the gathered were all members of the Johnson family. While none of the residents were armed a number of them were aggressive towards to police personnel. A search of the premises failed to locate either Ms. McCall or Corporal John Wayne Owen, who was believed to be responsible for her kidnapping. Likewise, a search of the surrounding area failed to locate the pick-up truck used in the kidnapping, although a large number of vehicles were parked just outside of the house. Closer questioning of Robert Johnson Snr. revealed that he was, indeed, the owner of the vehicle but that he claimed not to have used it in the previous two days. What is more, Mr. Johnson claimed not be aware of its current location nor, indeed, that it had gone missing. Our questioning of Robert Johnson Snr. was interrupted when Captain Astrand was attacked by Robert Johnson Jnr. I, as well as several police officers, were forced to subdue Robert Johnson Jnr. He was subsequently cuffed and placed inside one of the police cars outside. This attack was typical of a number that were perpetrated upon police personnel by members of the Johnson family throughout the evening. In the meantime Captain Kerr was able to speak with a member of the Johnson family who proved far more cooperative than either of the Roberts. William Johnson, one of the younger sons of Robert Johnson Snr. revealed to Kerr that the vehicle had been borrowed by his sister Sherri Lee Johnson. He also volunteered further, very useful information. It appears members of the Johnson family were acquainted with both Corporal John Wayne Owen and Mr. Adolph McKerreth. Mr. McKerreth was, in fact, an old friend of Robert Johnson Snr. and had used the Johnson residence on numerous occasions to store stolen military weaponry. The search for such weaponry was, unfortunately, unsuccessful except for the discovery of a hidden old cellar that had apparently been used to distil liquor during prohibition.
William Johnson also revealed to Kerr that Mr. McKerreth had introduced John Wayne Owen to the Johnsons and that, since then, Owen had repeatedly stayed with them. As far as William knew, Sherry-Lee was involved with Owen and was currently with Owen at a location William was not aware of.
When faced with this new information Robert Johnson Snr. revealed that he did know Sherri Lee was in possession of the vehicle used in the kidnapping and said that she and Owen were staying in The Porterdale Trailer Park, adjacent to the Johnson residence. At this point Captain Kerr suggested that Agent Davis, Captain Kerr and myself go to investigate the accuracy of Mr. Johnson's claims. As Johnson had been so uncooperative previously we were somewhat sceptical of their truth. Borrowing one of the local police vehicles we drove to the gates of the caravan park where Agent Davis remained behind in the vehicle while Kerr and myself approached the caravan Johnson told us Sherry-Lee and Owen were staying in. Kerr and I agreed that, if Johnson's claims were accurate and if we were spotted by Owen, we would claim to be associates of Mr. McKerreth which would give us the opportunity to get close to him before he could hurt his hostage.

THE INCIDENT
As it was, none of our intentions mattered. Before we could get close to the caravan we became aware of a group of armed people moving towards it. Hearing a loud metallic sound I pulled Kerr to the ground. Moments later there was a loud explosion and both Kerr and myself were covered with shrapnel and debris thrown by a Claymore mine. At this point I attempted to call for back-up but my cellphone appeared to be out of service.
Kerr and I agreed to circle around Owen's caravan at a distance of forty meters. Noticing the output from a number of laser designators reflecting in the smoke and dust I decided to stay back from the developing fight, to observe and to try to stop anyone leaving. Clearly both sides in the conflict were using weaponry far beyond the hand-guns either Kerr or myself carried.
Heading to the left I was crossing a road when I heard a car behind me. Rolling to the side I was passed by Agent Davis in the police car. Hearing the explosions he must have decided to come to our assistance. As it was his vehicle was targeted and hit what appears to have been a .50 calibre round which went through the engine block (spent uranium?) and rendered the car uncontrollable. The car, with Agent Davis inside, swerved off the road and hit one of the other trailers. While getting out of the vehicle Davis came under further fire. At this time a second Claymore exploded, hitting, as I later found out, Captain Kerr.
Although I tried to call to him Agent Davis headed towards Owen's trailer. The trailer was under fire from the group we had earlier sighted moving towards it. From what little we could see there were either four or five of them, all wearing dark clothing and armed with pistols with laser designators.
As he moved toward the trailer Davis was hit by one of the .50 calibre projectiles. He was hit in the upper chest area which was at that time protected by a Kevlar suit. It was this that caused the bulk of his injuries; six of his ribs being broken and him being knocked to the ground.
Almost simultaneously a third Claymore mine detonated. This time two of the black-clad figures were caught directly in its blast and suffered massive injuries, which have subsequently made their remains difficult to identify. Given that I was looking directly in their direction at the time I feel certain that it was two of the attackers who were killed in this fashion rather than, as it has been suggested, Owen and only one of the attackers.
It was only seconds later that leaking Liquid Petroleum Gas from the cylinder in Owen's trailer ignited. The whole caravan disappeared in a fifty foot ball of flames. When it was again possible to see what had occurred we could see that the whole caravan was on fire, the aluminum and magnesium burning an almost white color.
In the flames I could momentarily see two figures. One was lying down and the other standing. What appeared to be a wardrobe inside the caravan opened at this point and a child rushed out only to be covered in flames and collapse. By the time the flames had subsided enough to approach the remains of the caravan all three of its residents had been reduced to little more than bones.

ANALYSIS
It is clear that Agent Davis, Captain Kerr and myself had the misfortune to accidentally and unforeseeably happen upon a combat situation in which both sides were using weaponry far superior to that available to us. We were at no point in the position to influence the progress of the conflict in any substantial way. Also, due to the wounds suffered by Davis and Kerr, we were in no position to inhibit the later escape of the combatants. Entering the caravan park without previously contacting Lt.Astrand (Atlanta PD) was, with the benefit of hindsight, a mistake. However, it in no way brought about or affected the subsequent conflict except that it resulted in injuries to two of the agents involved.
The bodies of the three killed inside the caravan belong almost certainly to Susan McCall, the kidnapped nurse; Sherry-Lee Johnson, Owen's girlfriend; and to Josua Johnson, Sherry-Lee's infant son.
Although it has been suggested that one of the bodies outside of the caravan belongs to Owen this conclusion is unacceptable for a number of reasons. Firstly, I was witness to the explosion of the Claymore which lead to those two deaths and am convinced that they were both members of the group which was attacking Owen's caravan. Both figures were dressed in black and armed with weapons with laser designators. More importantly, both figures had been moving towards the caravan, together with the rest of their group, when the Claymore exploded. Finally, given Owen's training and apparent level of preparation, it is highly implausible, to say the least, that he would walk out in front of one of the very Claymores he had laid. It is true that a .50 cal sniper-rifle was recovered very close to the position where the third Claymore exploded, but it could have been thrown there by the force of the LPG explosion.

CONCLUSION

• I strongly suggest that Owen be added to the bureau's list of most wanted and that an extensive multi-agency search for him be undertaken immediately. His remaining at large is a very serious risk to the community.
• It is vital that we identify the remains of the assailants killed in the attack. They were members of what is clearly a well-armed and dangerous group prepared and organised to use violence on a large scale. It is possible that they were members of the Georgia Citizens Militia.
• We should also investigate the involvement of members of the Johnson household with weapons smuggling, as well as searching the grounds of all their properties for hidden weapons caches.
