The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Okay, Kentucky police. Whatever you say...

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

And I thought the police over here were untrustworthy. :P

There's a lot of debate going on in my family over this, since they're from Clay County originally. It's an extremely rural part of Kentucky. The true hills of Kentucky. I think they even knew this guy.

It's just so screwed up. :( My condolences to your family and the whole region.

"Kentucky police say that census worker Bill Sparkman, whose body was discovered naked and hanging from a tree in a rural cemetery Sept. 12 with the word “Fed” scrawled across his chest, committed suicide."

I mean, Jesus, I read that sentence and then stopped reading. I had to force myself to read the rest just so I don't look like a fool discussing it, but I didn't read anything that changed the impact of that first paragraph in my mind. Does anybody really think this is what happened?

Personally, I just hope it wasn't a cop or relative or friend of one that did this. It would surprise me not in the least, having been in a "youth home" at one point that was credibly accused of using the proprietor's relationship as wife of a Redlands, CA police officer to hide suicides of young people that occurred there from the blotter. I sure believe it, given that place, and I most definitely trust the official report here about as far as I can pick up and throw a corrupt cop.

Apparently, he took two very large insurance policies in April. I didn't believe the suicide thing at first either, but that detail was very telling.

Huh.

Yeah, that does lend a bit of doubt regarding it all, then...

Man, that's an involved suicide plan if so. :P I'll just stay out of it.
