Dermott, Arkansas

Bobby Joe Blythe performed some karate demonstrations at the local Dermott Crawfish Festival[1] as he used to attend high school nearby[2].

Dumfries, Virginia

Bobby Joe Blythe's karate dojo was based in the Dumfries Shopping Center, near where the Dumfries Neighborhood Library is now located[3]. The full address is known to the investigation.

Hanford, California

Bobby Joe Blythe currently resides in Hanford, CA and the local police chief, Carlos Mestas, was informed of the video early into the investigation and can be seen on the KMPH video[4]. The same clip shows the reporter knocking on Blythe's front door but getting no response[5]. Blythe's home address is also known to the investigation.

Washington D.C.

Referenced by Blythe in the introduction to the incriminating video, he said that he was working on a bodyguard job in DC at the time KFG become known to him. It's just 30 miles between DC and Blythe's dojo. Chuck Feldbush, a retired detective said that KFG "was a vagrant who lived in the woods near the dojo"[6]. Therefore, it appears that KFG was local to Dumfries, VA rather than being from Washington DC.
