Melvin Forbes, another partner, said in an interview that he remembered talking with several people about the property but that he did not recall Baig.
"What does he look like?" Forbes asked.
When told that he signed the contract with Baig, Forbes expressed surprise.
"I signed the contract?" he asked. "I need to find my paperwork and find out exactly who this gentleman is."
Baig and Forbes signed the contract Nov. 17, 2006. But the company they formed, Maryland Park LLC, was not registered with the state, as is required to do business, until Dec. 13, records show.
According to the contract, county officials agreed to sell Baig and his group the vacant land for its appraised value, which was $520,000, in 2005. Last year, a county appraisal put the value at $1.1 million.
Baig said he has abandoned the project, giving conflicting explanations. Thompson, the county's former housing director, said that early this year the county "canceled it because we didn't like the deal anymore" but declined to produce documents on the decision.
