Why did Sam call the police to check the basement?

ziggy wrote:Atlantica, you've corroborated what Peacegurl said regarding skinny cop - that he was very shaken by his perceived near brush with death. So if we can determine that Sam really did ask for him to return an hour later (was he off duty then?) then what does that tell us? He wanted that cop back for a reason. What reason? I'm sure SC (skinny cop) let it be known how freaked out he was about the whole thing, but do others" in the know" besides SC share his belief?

Interesting to contemplate that maybe Debra was killed upstairs in her bed, but then I struggle with covering up the odor by confining the bodies to the room on the other side of the den away from the "main" house. Would Sam go to that much effort to move someone?

We know Mark was the last to be killed and that the cops came to the house to check the basement with all four bodies remaining therein - I can't get past them not smelling something and the only way I could reconcile it was that Emma, Mel and Debra were likely the most decomposed and were sealed off in that wing of the house and that Mark was the one in the main area of the house. But if he remained in the living room, would not the cops have seen him or the evidence of such carnage? I can't see Sam moving him upstairs. Things to ponder.

Are you serious, his name is barney LOL thats too funny, we should send Heroine over to farmville to get us the scoop on old barney.

It was probably a good thing to be banned, because like everybody else my life is REALLY busy and I have no business typing here or anywhere.

However, it was VERY frustrating over the months, when I would get a juicy bit of local info and couldn't post there and tell everybody!

I will do my best to be as polite as possible and offend no one. I just don't tolerate asshattery very well, though have also been known to be a practitioner of the same. If I think someone is being an asshat, I will probably say so.

And now I can't think of anything....but will try to remember. Anyway, the deputy who initially met Sam, when the latter called back that night, he specifically requested the same guy. And yes, he is kind of a little guy...Barney Fife suits him to a T. And I heard that he was scared shitless when he heard that Sam had asked specifically for him. (Small, easily subdued/killed). Anyway, he was not working that night, but the sheriff's office sent out like four guys, so Sam quickly realized he wouldn't be adding "cop killer" to his CV. I hear "Barney" (will try to get the correct name) is still very shaken up about it all.

The only other thing I can remember, and this is the wrong thread for it, but I'm short on time....and don't know if you guys have sorted out where Mark was murdered --- apparently downstairs, living room. I know this because the people fixing up the house for sale called his mother to ask the difficult/delicate question..."We need to replace the section of hardwood floors....but we need your permission" and she said, "of course." That much blood.

His mom is, of course, having a very hard time. Frightened that Sam will come for her, since she is literally the last of her family.

You are totally confusing me.....First the Farmville Police Department are not referred to as deputies. The Prince Edward County Sheriffs department are referred to as deputies. As far as I know only The Virginia State Police and The Farmville Police Department were on the scene at 505 First Avenue. The Prince Edward Sheriffs Office were the ones who took care of the accident.
The lone skinny officer was not Hackney. There is a Hackney that is a member of the Virgnia State police. BTW, Hackney has no brothers that work for law enforcement.
And yes, the lone skinny cop is still very upset. I believe every officer who witnessed the deceased have had a hard time.


BTW....after looking over the warrants today, a woman was the foreman of the Grand Jury. I believe it was Farmvillian that said she was told they threw the book at him.
Hogan was the Sergeant with the FPD who signed the search warrants. Stephens was the Special Agent from the Virgina state Police who signed them.

Peacegurl came to us earlier with that information and it would be helpful for you to corroborate it or refute it with your own knowledge or sources.

Her information is one reason this thread was started. If you think her knowledge is only perceived and not real, we are adults here and I'm sure you, being an educated person, can find a way to try and sort out the differences in what you are both trying to convey.

She chooses to cut and run rather than waste any of her perceived precious time justifying anything or correcting any misinformation. oooo, was I just catty?

Grand juries have nothing to do with throwing the book at anyone.

AndresEscobar wrote:Why this got brought up again, I have no idea.

A poster posted at some point at the websleuths thread that he heard that the foreman of the jury was a religious, white woman in her 60s and she was going to throw the book at Sam. The poster did so in a boastful manner, in a "looks like Sam's really gonna get it" way.

After a few posts entertaining this new aspect of our running narrative, Pax and I proved this statement to be false within hours. Jury selection has still not begun yet.

Another poster suggested that maybe this was the foreman of the grand jury. This is also not correct. The statement clearly said that the foreman of the jury is a white woman in her 60s and she is going to throw the book at Sam. This statement was made significantly after the grand jury would have indicted Sam.

A grand jury's only job is to determine whether there is probable cause or a reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed.

I'm none too happy about a local source leaving either but on the other hand - if someone is going to come in and profess to know such details as skinny cop's name and other information and then get their panties in a wad when questioned, corrected or asked to verify; then they aren't going to last because Andres, you are a stickler for not carrying forth unsubstantiated rumors. Atlantica was on the phone with someone, who knew someone to get that information and I didn't see you pressing for more than the heresay of Atlantica and Co. I'd hate to see what her reaction would have been had you done that in a manner in which you have in the past.

I have no problem with you doing that - none - I get it - and I love you for it - but it wasn't leveled at Atlantica.

If there is misinformation - then point it out and move on. We all need more education on how our legal system works. We all need to be challenged from time to time, humbled, put in our place and praised when we are on point. In my opinion, Atlantica only wanted part of that scenario.

I don't think anyone was sniping. I think she does not like her integrity questioned just like everyone else and she handles it poorly.

We need those police reports - that would be helpful. That would be verification of who was on first.

I'd like to point out that Atlantica also said that FOUR other cops came over instead of two...anyone catch that? I was just waiting to see if her info. would get the microscopic treatment, but it did not. Why?
