Occasionally (once or twice a year) I’ll have to throw down and get really toasty. Usually on one of my vacation such as the one I’ll be taking later on in October. It’s a blast but I don’t recommend doing it on a regular basis. After almost 43 years though, I don’t recall ever having gotten drunk enough to pursue the antics that 21-year-old Robert Stark Higgins did.

Higgins, who lives in Stuart, Florida, apparently got so shitfaced that he somehow got covered in shit and jumped into a neighbor’s pool. The owner heard Robert smash through the screen surrounding the pool Saturday night and jump in so he called 911. By the time that police arrived Stark had stolen a towel and fled the scene. Martin County Sheriff’s Deputies tracked him using a K9 unit to a nearby home where the man told them he had been drinking.

He is being held at the Martin County Jail on $10,500 bond.

20-year-old Katie Parker from Mattydale, New York has been arrested and charged with sex abuse after an alleged incident which involved a pair of boys 9 and 12-years-old. She has also been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

According to the Post-Standard Katie Parker and her husband lived in Syracuse for a while and during that time she invited the two boys who were neighbors into the house. She and her 19-year-old husband allegedly had sex in front of the two children in August as well watched porn with them and then Katie had sexual contact with them later. It was reported to police about a week later.

Thus far Katie is the only one that has been charged but police are trying to locate the husband for questioning to verify her behavior. I have attempted to contact Katie through MySpace in order to get a statement but as of yet have been unsuccessful.

One thing I did find interesting is that her husband has posted several status updates as we all do from time to time (if you are on MySpace or Facebook) and several of them mention stuff like “I love you Katie Marie Parker” etc…but his most recent status update on September 7th is “i love you my girl friend so much”. The Parkers are currently separated. If I were him I would be running like hell.

Updated 10/1/09 – From a couple of sources close to the investigation I spoke with it seems as though the alleged incidents with Katie are true and that she had the two children use sexual devices on her, which is where the sexual contact. It’s also rumored that these aren’t the first children that either of them have had sexual contact with but that the other incidents were covered up.

Updated 10/6/09 – I’ve been informed by an unnamed source that the alleged sexual incident actually took place in 2008, that Scott and Katie were actually separated in August of this year. The parents of the 9-year-old boy took him to the police station sometime last month to report the incident.

Scott Parker reportedly has to appear in court on October 15th, being charged with misdemeanor Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

The are also some unconfirmed allegations of sexual abuse on Scott Parker as well as possibly siblings by their father in the past. I don’t know if the police are investigating those or not but I did forward them to the Syracuse Police Department earlier this evening.

23-year-old Michael Duane Sesic was arrested this morning after breaking into a house in Orange County, Florida and attempting to molest a 14-year-old girl.

The girl woke up and felt Sesic trying to pull her pants/pajamas down early this morning and ran into her mother’s bedroom. She told her mother’s boyfriend about the intruder so he got a knife and went to find Sesic who was standing in her room with his pants down. The two of them fought and Sesic ended up getting stabbed in the chest.

Apparently Sesic (who also goes by Sesik) used to date the family’s old babysitter. You can find his MySpace here, at least until he’s convicted again and then maybe someone at MySpace will get around to removing it.

Sesic has an arrest record back to 2000 which include burglary, aggravated assault, petty theft, rape and lewd and lascivious act on a child. He got the last one when he was 13 and raped a four-year-old girl.

It must have been obvious then that Sesic had problems, so why has he been allowed to run around breaking the law for the last nine years? Christ, whatever they charge him with in Florida, he’ll be back out of jail long before he’s thirty and can start molesting children once again.

Michael also fancies himself a poet. This is from his MySpace (myspace.com/peircedmaniac):

This is the dead,
part of my soul.
This is what i dread,
and sometimes feel like a fool.
Just i man in winter,
without any wool.
For he’s cold,
and has been throught the unspeakable.
That’s why for him his soul,
was sold.
To many this is just,
another tale to be told.
Well your wrong,
because this is my living….walking…breathing tears of agony.
For so long,
i’ve walk through demensions,
of my own mind.
In these demensions,
there’s extreme misery and pain.
That in no time it shall,
stain.

Poetry:hell as my wife

I obviously don’t know a hell of a lot about poetry so for once I’ll reserve comment. It does seem as though Michael has some issues he needs to work out though. He also has some spelling issues as well. I’m not the grammar police (far from it) but damn, even I know the rule about I before E except after C.

Don’t expect too many tears to be shed over the death of this scumbag child molester who was on death row. One less douchebag to be sucking on the teat of the taxpayer while waiting for execution.

Couey’s record includes arrests for burglary, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, indecent exposure, kidnapping and sexual battery not to mention the 2005 inhuman molestation of Jessica Lunsford at the home of his sister in Florida and then burying Jessica alive outside his sister’s trailer. The little girl suffocated to death wrapped in a garbage bag and buried in a shallow grave.

Couey was convicted of first degree murder, kidnapping, burglary and sexual battery in March of 2007 and in August of that year he was sentenced to death.

Earlier today Couey died in a hospital in Jacksonville after complications from cancer which I find quite amusing considering that people like Couey are a cancer on society.

Burn in hell motherfucker.

The trial of David Edenfield, one of three people charged in the ugly rape and murder of six-year-old Christopher Barrios in 2007, has begun and testimony is under way. During questioning Edenfield admitted in a taped statement that he helped his son, David Edenfield, kill the boy.

Back in 2007 the Edenfields, David and George, kidnapped and took turns sexually molesting the six-year-old while David’s wife Peggy watched and masturbated. George was already on probation for two counts of child molestation at the time. They then choked the little boy to death, leaving him inside a trash bag beside the road.

Back in 2008 lawyers for David Edenfield tried to get the case dropped when they claimed that the Grand Jury who returned the indictment was not ‘diverse enough’ because there were not enough Latinos represented in the Grand Jury.

According to a report I read last year Peggy Edenfield has reached and agreement with prosecutors to testify against her husband and son in exchange for a possible life sentence.

Hopefully all three of these sick fucking hillbilly bastards will all be convicted and die an excruciatingly painful death.

Another 1000 pages of documentation was released yesterday by the Florida State Attorney’s Office in the First Degree Murder Trial of Casey Anthony in the horrible murder of her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony including an email between FBI officials which stated that a stain in Anthony’s trunk may “appear to the the outline or silhouette of a child in the fetal position”.

The documentation also notes the fact that the duct tape found wrapped around the corpse of Caylee was contaminated by a lab technician during testing. Although it was contaminated with the technicians DNA the fact that it is a ‘rare’ brand and was also found in the Anthony’s house is pretty damning and may be used in court.

in 1993 James Degorski and Juan Luna decided that they wanted to ‘do something big’ and the answer to that for them was to rob a Brown’s Chicken and brutally murder the owners along with five of their employees.

Juan Luna was found guilty of his crimes over two years ago and finally Degorski has had his trial and the jurors have found Degorski guilty after a month-long trial.

Degorski still has to go through sentencing and prosecutors have not yet announced if they will be seeking the death penalty or not.

 

The attorney for Cesar Laurean, the for United States Marine jailed for the brutal murder of Marine Maria Lauterbach in North Carolina, has filed a motion in court today to have the trial moved somewhere else stating that due to the publicity of Lauterbach’s death and Laurean’s escape to Mexico it would be difficult to get a fair trial in Jacksonville.

The burnt corpse of Lauterbach and her unborn baby were found buried beneath a fire pit in Laurean’s back yard back in 2007.

Move it, keep it there…it really doesn’t matter. If there were a hell Cesar Laurean would be headed there to hang amongst other barbarians.

17-year-old Samantha Medina was at the Mall of Rockingham Park Saturday after she had agreed to sell a couple of friends who work at the food court some weed. Fiore and Brown thought they should get something for nothing and according to reports after they received the marijuana from Medina slammed the door and refused to pay her for it.

Medina decided in an intelligence-heightening stupor obviously brought on by sampling too much product that she would call the police. She started off by contacting Mall security and when they wouldn’t do anything she called the Salem, Maine Police Department who gladly stepped in.

When officers responded to the call they promptly found the stolen Marijuana with 17-year-old Vincent Brown and 21-year-old Danielle Fiore (MySpace) and locked all three of these stooges up for Possession of a Controlled Drug. They were released pending an arraignment in Salem District Court.

Fiore of course is no stranger to this type of activity. She lived in North Hampton, New Hampshire and back in February she called police to report that her prescription drugs had been stolen in the Walgreen’s parking lot. Come to find out that she had given them away to pay off a debt. Fiore was charged with  providing a false report as well as a probation violation. In March she was charged with driving after having her license suspended/revoked. Looks like this geographical cure didn’t do a whole hell of a lot for Fiore.

55-year-old Grady Wells, originally from Three Rivers, MS and a retired U.S. Army Officer, was in town over the weekend to attend the funeral of a relative and found out that his father, 87-year-old Daniel Wells, had passed away as well. Apparently something in him just snapped. We may never know but thanks to the Pascagoula Police Department he didn’t manage to do any more damage than he did.

Wells allegedly sideswiped a car on the causeway in Gautier and then took off from the scene of the accident and headed to Pascagoula. When he stopped at a red light an officer recognized the description of the car. The officer pulled him over and Wells jumped out of the car wielding what is reported to have been a martial arts sword. The officer retreated to his vehicle and Wells jumped back in his car and took off.

That might have been the end of it but Wells turned around not once but twice, hitting other cars, a police motorcycle and almost a group of pedestrians as well until finally stopping when he hit a light pole.

Wells got back out of the car and advanced toward four police officers, sword in hand. When he would not stop two of the police officers shot Wells, killing him.

29-year-old Eric Brandon Reonas was arrested last week in Rome, Georgia and charged with Misdemeanor Battery and Cruelty to Children after grabbing a woman by the neck and dragging her down a flight of stairs, injuring her neck and dislocating her hip. The Cruelty to Children charge is because the incident occurred in front of a child.

Obviously Reonas, who used to work at Rome Tool & Die (don’t know if he still does or not) has some type of anger and authority issues. This isn’t even close to being his first contact with law enforcement. Last fall he was arrested by the Rome, Georgia police after he refused to follow an officer’s instructions.

During an attempted traffic stop he disregarded the officer’s instructions to him (no other details yet) but he was charged with Failure to Obey and Officer and Felony Habitual Violator.

53-year-old Gary Marchand of Hollis, New Hampshire has been arrested and charged with allegedly beating his 45-year-old wife Phyllis to death last week at their home

According to law enforcement the two were estranged and although Gary was still living in their home Phyllis was not. They aren’t saying what she was doing there when the altercation happened and it’s an ongoing investigation. Based on the autopsy and the scene of the crime investigators believe that Marchand tied his wife up and gagged her prior to beating her to death.

Marchand is currently being held without bond in Nashua on second-degree murder charges.

Back on August 5th 1976 23-year-old Rebecca Doisy, a waitress at Ernie’s Steakhouse in Columbia, Missouri disappeared and was found murdered two days later. The case dragged for nine years on and in 1985 a warrant for second-degree murder was issued for suspect Johnny Wright in Columbia but he had absconded.

Here we are 24 years later and Wright has apparently been found and arrested in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Police aren’t releasing the details of his arrest but he’s currently lodged in the Gwinnet County Jail on $100,000 bond. Most likely he was picked up in a completely non-related incident when the warrant in Missouri came across the radar.

According to WSB Wright had gone to the Lawrenceville Police Station last week to fill out the paperwork for a background check after he applied for a job as a driver and when he returned this week to pick it up they arrested him. WTF did he think, the arrest warrant for murder would just magically disappear after 24 years?

Wright has waived his right to fight extradition and is waiting for Missouri to arrange transportation to take him back.

60-year-old Mayor Donald Walker of Warner Robins, GA has been the mayor of that town since 1994 and during his term in office he has overseen a growth boom in the town of approximately 50,000 people. Walker was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound Monday. His wife was home at the time of the incident.

I’ve come across nothing but good comments and well wishes for his wife while I read about Walker this morning and really the only thing I could find thus far that might be related is that over the last couple of years he has had some health issues. He took a medical leave of absence in September 2008 after the city council asked him to.

Rest in peace, Donald Walker.

Updated 10/17/09 – According to WSB Patricia Walker interviewed with a local TV station recently. According to Donald Walker’s wife he saw a legal notice in a Houston County Newspaper three days before his death that the IRS had placed $33,845 in liens against his properties.

He was very upset about the liens and other people finding out about them and felt that may have attributed to Walker’s suicide.

45-year-old Jose Campoverde of Anaheim, California is the pastor of a church called Ministerio Cristo Vive, a small congregation located in a strip mall behind the dollar store there in Anaheim. He has been accused of molesting four members of his church and has been charged with lewd conduct with a minor, sexual battery, child annoyance and false imprisonment.

Police first started investigating Campoverde after a 17-year-old girl said that Campoverde fondled her while driving her home back in May. All four of his victims live in church-provided homes for the needy. During the two week investigation three other girls ranging in age from 13 to 17 admitted that they had also been molested by Campoverde. He was arrested on September 23rd.

According to the Orange County Register Campoverde has been a pastor in Anaheim for eight years and prior to that he was in LA. Law Enforcement is looking into his past in Los Angeles.

Update 10/13/09 – Campoverde is due to be arraigned later today on the charges that he molested four young girls in his congregation between April 2007 and September of 2009.

I don’t know if it’s why he left law enforcement or not but in 1992 Jose Campoverde was convicted for the sale or distribution of drugs.

43-year-old Archie Whalen from New York has a checkered history there which include convictions for rape, burglary, sexual contact with a minor and assault and he is obviously a registered sex offender because of it.

At some point in the last couple of years Tammy Ward and her daughter, 13-year-old Haley Dawn Willett, made the acquaintance of Whalen when he and they were living in Maine. I don’t currently know the extent of the relationship other than the fact that they lived with him briefly in Maine but what is evident is the fact that somehow he stalked them and followed the family when they moved to Kentucky.

One question I have is that from the interviews that Ward has given it’s evident that she knew about Whalen’s past and yet she still chose to live with the man. However brief the stay was why would a mother put her child in that kind of situation? Obviously I don’t know the circumstances and it may be that it seemed to Ward that they had no choice.

Around 4:30 Saturday morning Haley disappeared and her mother found a text message sent to the phone that she and Haley share, a message sent from a Maine area code where the only person she knew that might look them up was Archie Whalen. Apparently the girl left with Whalen willingly after he promised her cars and cell phones and told her he wanted to marry her and have kids with her when she is older (yuck…). A Nationwide Amber Alert was issued Saturday night (I missed that one apparently) and within 24 hours the two were located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin pulling into the parking lot of a motel there.

 

Haley is unharmed and according to law enforcement reports it doesn’t appear as if she was sexually assaulted. They are crediting the Amber Alert for the speedy discovery of the girl and the convicted sex offender.

Whalen has a sister in Wisconsin, which might explain why he was headed there. He is currently being held without bail in Wisconsin and has waived extradition back to Kentucky where he has been charged with Kidnapping. His bond in Kentucky has been set at $25,000 but he may also end up facing Federal charges as well.

36-year-old Patrick Paul Leithead from the City of Stone Mountain, Georgia was arrested on September 20th for allegedly molesting a 13-year-old girl at Stone Mountain Park after a Dekalb County Deputy caught him in the act.

Deputy Ruth Stringer was off-duty and happened to be in the park and had gone into the restroom when she noticed a man’s feet sticking out from under a stall door and heard a child in distress. She immediately sensed something was wrong and yelled at the man to come out of there.

In addition to Stringer, off-duty GBI Agent Sara Thomas was also in the area and called 911 after detaining the man when he let the little girl go. She had noticed Leithead hanging around the bathrooms watching the women as they walked by. Watching for a victim…which he found in a 13-year-old as her parents stood outside the bathroom entirely unaware of what was transpiring.

Leithead is currently lodged in the Dekalb County Jail with no bond on charges of aggravated child molestation..

Criminal Case Details.

55-year-old Douglas Morse Davidson of Lantana, Florida was arrested this past week after a task force that tracks sexual predators found that he had been downloading child pornography. He has been charged with ten counts of Possession of Photographs of a Sexual Performance of a Child and was booked into the Palm Beach County jail on $40,000 bond. He was released on bail on Saturday night.

67-year-old Horace Lanette Dean of Vero Beach, Florida has been arrested and charged with Capital Sexual Battery for allegedly using a screwdriver to sexually assault a 4-year-old girl.

The mother of the little girl had taken her to the Indian River Medical Center to be treated for vaginal irritation which she had been experiencing for a couple of weeks. Her mother thought it might be a urinary tract infection but after the little girl told her mother about the several alleged incidents the police were called in and they opened an investigation on Dean.

The identity of the little girl has been withheld and I don’t currently know the relationship of the man to the mother or her child.

According to WPTV (linked as the source) his attorney said “He’s been here 50 years in this community and has been an outstanding citizen”. I’m not sure exactly what that has to do with him molesting a little girl but whatever. Roman Polanski is an outstanding director and he’s a child molester.

Source.

It’s all about good timing.

Back in 1977, eight years after his actress wife Sharon Tate was brutally murdered by Susan Atkins at the behest of Charles Manson, film director Roman Polanski pleaded guilty to having sex with 13-year-old Samantha Geimer. Before he could be sentenced in the U.S. he fled the country, settling in France where he eventually remarried and had two children.

Over the years attorneys for Polanski have tried to get the charges dismissed but the fact that Polanski refused to attend any of the hearings leaves a bad taste in the mouth of prosecutors and argue that it would be wrong for a man to go free who ‘drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl’. I tend to agree with them. I don’t care who Polanski is or what he’s directed. The dude admitted to having raped a 13-year-old girl and then like a coward fled the country. Fuck him, he needs to sit his ass in jail for a while with the other child molesters. Just because he’s famous and rich, why should this child molester be allowed to wander free without facing his punishment?

Susan Atkins, “Sadie Mae Glutz”, the woman who killed Polanski’s wife, passed away this past week and in an entirely unrelated matter Polanski was arrested in Switzerland on the outstanding warrant for his 1977 conviction and is being held awaiting a possible extradition.

Updated 9/29/09 – Apparently a bunch of directors are now demanding Polanski’s release. Among them are Woody Allen, the pedophile who slept with his underage step-daughter. Now there’s a surprise. NOT. The film makers are objecting to the fact that Polanski was arrested en-route to an international event.

Polanski is also appealing his extradition to the United States.

Updated 9/30/09 – I don’t read Newsweek very often but I came across a pretty good article about this over there. Go check it out.

Some people are just serious control freaks. They can’t bear to be apart from their spouses for fear that they might do “something” when really it’s just their own issues. Take 34-year-old Larry D. Jones from Evansville, Indiana for instance. His wife Clara drove to Louisville, Kentucky for a friend’s wedding this week and met up with a cousin and friends. Her husband called her and was angry, accusing her of running around with men.

When she drove back to Evansville her husband started in on her by cutting up her credit cards and clothes in their bedroom. Then he took her out into the living room and told their daughter “We are going to cut Mommy’s hair”. Jones cut her braids off and then shaved her head with electric trimmers and a straight razor before dumping a beer on her head. When she tried to call 911 he husband snatched her cell phone and threatened to kill her.

Eventually Jones let her out of the house to throw away the clothing and she tried to call 911 again but he came up from behind her and grabbed the phone again, choking her. He dragged her through the gras back into the house.

Somehow either one of her calls made it through 911 or a neighbor must have called the police because they did show up about 6:30 Thursday morning. Larry was arrested for Criminal Confinement, Domestic Battery including Strangulation and Interference with Reporting a Crime. He was to have had a bond hearing Friday but I don’t yet know the results of that.

When police questioned Larry Jones he told them he had ‘lost it’ and claimed his wife was with a boyfriend from Kenya. His statement to police also said “I bought her those clothes and gave her money for her hair and this is what she does. The only time I might have choked her is when I was holding her down to cut her hair. I’d never hurt that girl though“. WTF?

The 61-year-old former follower and murderer of pregnant actress Sharon Tate in 1969 has died of terminal brain cancer. Last year the longest serving female prisoner in California attempted to get a compassionate release from the parole board, which was denied.

Last May physicians had predicted she would be dead within six months but she outlived their estimates, passing away last night.

Poland apparently approved a law earlier today so that pedophiles convicted of raping a child under 15 or a close relative are to be chemically castrated when they are released from prison.

The bill still has to be approved by the upper chamber of parliament (like our senate) and it also increases the prison sentences for rape and incest.

The Prime Minister mad a statement last year calling pedophiles degenerates and basically said that human rights shouldn’t apply in those kind of incidents.

Benito Toscano-Vargas has been arrested in Marietta after he allegedly lured a woman to the Crestmont Apartments on Thursday in order to buy beauty products. From the looks of his mug shot he could use a few beauty products.

When the woman arrived she was forced by gunpoint into the woods where police say that Toscano-Vargas robbed her and raped her. The woman was able to convince him to let her go and she called the police after running off.

Toscano-Vargas has been arrested and charged with armed robbery, rape, kidnapping and terroristic threats.
