A side-bar to the News & Observer‘s coverage of the John Edwards’ sex tape scandal gives us a clue as to where Rielle Hunter might be.
Those who have followed this story will know that Edwards’ had his aide, Andrew Young, ferry Hunter to various ritzy locales in an effort to keep her hidden from media scrutiny. It seems that’s continuing:
As recently as last weekend, Hunter was in Blowing Rock at a mountain hideaway owned by retired Judge Bob Collier, a Statesville businessman chosen last month to be chairman of the N.C. Board of Transportation.
Collier, 79, said his son knows Hunter through the horse show circuit.
“She is a good friend of my son’s,” Collier said. “Not a romantic friend, but a platonic friend.”
Collier said he had no idea where Hunter was Friday morning.
