^ Wesley Houston is a security officer who was working at the Home Depot Treehouse Office, where Harris worker, on the day of Cooper’s death.

Houston spoke with Harris as he walked out the door that day. He testified in court that he usually exchanged pleasantries with Harris, but never went into detail about their lives. But he remembers on that day, Harris told him as he was leaving that he was heading to the movies with his friends. He says that much detail was “out of character.”

Houston said he found out about Cooper’s death a short while later while still at the office. He told jurors that he knew something was wrong when another security officer showed up with Leanna Harris, Cooper’s mother.

Houston says Leanna Harris came in full steam asking, “Where’s Ross? Where’s my son?” Moments later, while they were all in the lobby with WSB-TV on, the station broacast breaking news about a dead child.

As they all watched the news unfold, Houston says Leanna’s emotions went “from hot to not” and she became “cold.”

"When she first came in she had a whole lot of steam. As time went on her emotions died out. It was like, "Huh, oh well." She was just sitting there like nothing happened. To me, as a parent you lose a child or you see some breaking news or something, you are full of emotion. She didn't have any," Houston said.

Houston says after that day, he didn’t watch the news coverage of the case because it was too much for him.
