In one of the reports, a detective said, "I met with student, Charles Southern, who admitted knowing Makia." He then went on to explain that "Southern claimed that he had an on-and-off relationship with Makia since last year."
The report goes on to say, "During the interview, Charles seemed very nervous and could not sit still in his chair."
Police said surveillance video showed Conner Pridgen walking with Coney the day she disappeared. They said in the video, Coney was wearing the same clothes she was later found wearing.
The documents also revealed that classmates were suspicious, which helped police in their investigation.
The papers revealed that one classmate "said Conner Pridgen is into marijuana and cocaine." Another said, "Charles said in the past, that he's not afraid of killing someone, and would like to know what it would be like."
A classmate also said, "He asked Charles if he knew who did it (killed Makia). Charles replied, 'You'll find out later.'"

Investigators also recovered two .44 Magnums in their investigation as the possible murder weapons. Reports also showed that "students also reported seeing Charles Southern in possession of a .44 Magnum revolver on the day before the shooting."
Southern and Pridgen pleaded not guilty. They are being held without bond in the Duval County jail.
