The description of the vehicle seems to change as often as the 'supposed facts' in the case.

Im thinking a shootout with Police might be a good outcome.

Might need to check the Redneck Yacht Club and also any truck pulls.

This guy won't make it to St. Patrick's Day. I don't know why we're acting like he's public enemy #1. He's not that smart. A buck says they pick him up by the weekend.

OK, I'm losing track. Can someone clear up the events? Here's what I've got:

At 5:00am Friday, a woman called and said she was shot while jogging by a guy in a white SUV. It's confusing as to who this woman is, but it apparently is not Ms. Robinson. At 4:20 that evening, the police found Ms. Robinson dead in her apartment of strangulation and blunt force trauma. So this guy presumably killed her early that morning, stole her car, and shot a jogger on his way out of town.

But wait! The day before he killed a woman who was cleaning a church in Neshoba County, about 75 miles northeast of Ms. Robinson's apartment. They believe it was him because there was a white SUV in the parking lot of the church when she arrived. He's not connected to that woman nor to the church (according to the authorities), and he didn't rob her. So he just pulled into a church and killed the cleaning lady?

Now remember - he did that first, so he must've at least taken the SUV a day before he shot the jogger. So did he kill Ms. Robinson, take her car, drive northeast to Neshoba County, kill a church custodian, get back in the car, drive back to Rankin County, spend the night at the crime scene, decide to flee, and take a shot at jogger on his way toward Tulsa?

Maybe I've misread the whole thing, but this is what I've pieced together. Is there a write-up of this guy's crime spree that gives a clearer timeline?

And would someone please tell the MBI that Castlewoods does NOT contain an apostrophe?

I'm pretty sure law enforcement has a timeline on this. I'm also pretty sure they are more interested in catching this guy than they are keeping us up to date on a timeline. When this guy is caught the record will be set straight.

So in short, 10:56, you can't help clarify and have nothing to add. Nice move, champ.

The point is well made. Things just don't add up based on the facts that have been presented. If we're gonna get three posts in four days, then there should be more details than this.

He lived in that area of Neshoba County at one time. I don't know how long, as if he grew up there or what, but had close family there. There is a very plausible theory as to why he would go to a rural area he was very familiar with after the initial crime.

And one more thing to add, my understanding is this wasn't a church custodian as you described, it was a long-time church member who happened to clean the church, as is the case in a lot of rural churches.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
