Brandon Durham of Keene found the morning of October 19, 2009 a little chilly. He was walking to the courthouse wearing a hooded sweatshirt and found that putting the hood up kept his head warmer.

Brandon then entered the courtroom and took a seat while he waited for the judge to enter the room and process the days docket.
A bailiff approached Brandon and asked him to remove his hood.

I was about to sit down and eat my freshly prepared meal when I heard a lady outside yell, “he has a knife.” I turned to the door and a moment later a woman was standing at the entrance announcing, “don’t come outside there is a guy with a knife.”

I started to walk toward the door and a man in a mask burst out of the door. He was carrying a large kitchen knife and what looked like a tan wastebasket or bag. He ran straight to the alleyway next to the shop, I followed him down the length of the alley and into a parking lot. He had dropped his mask mid-way through the alley and his face was clearly visible bearing a distinct grey facial hair pattern. I saw him heading for a waiting vehicle and watched him climb in the front passenger seat of the SUV which contained a driver and perhaps one more in the back. I memorized the license plate and headed back to the shop.
