Man Who Worked With Serial Killer Speaks Out

    News Channel 7 spoke with Chip Jones, who worked with Patrick Tracy Burris for 6 months last year, at a machine shop in Shelby, N.C.  Burris was on a work release program while at a correctional institute in Dallas, N.C.  Jones says Burris was a safecracker and had a temper, but didn’t seem like he would kill someone.  He says he was known as, “Big Country.“
    “He’d been in prison he told me before in Florida. He told me that. He told me two or three things, but he had a temper,“ says Jones.
    Jones also says Burris was terminated from his job for insubordination.
