MySpace Mom Lori Drew (Josh Evans) Indicted For Role in online Hoax of Suicide Death of 13 Year Old Megan Meier

It was the internet MySpace hoax that disgusted the world. The result was the suicide of 13 year old Megan Meier. People cried out for justice and initially there was none. Finally, there appears to be JUSTICE FOR MEGAN.

(13 year old Megan Meier)

Justice is served in one of the most sick and pathetic cases of cyberbullying on record. Its bad enough when pre-teens and teens do it, but when an adult does it to a teenager … it defies all logic. Let this be a shot across the bow to future cyberbulliers, prosecutors are breaking new legal ground on the internet. If one thinks they can hide behind their key board and do anything, think again. To “keyboard cowards” every where, there will be consequences to threats made and your actions.

49 year old Lori Drew, or should we say her faux online persona Josh Evans, was indicted in her role that led to the suicide of 13 year old Megan Meier. Its about time! It was an internet MySpace hoax that will most likely change the rules as to personal conduct on the web. Lori Drew created a MySpace account and began chatting with Megan Meier under the false identity of a 16 year old boy, Josh Evans. Lori Drew has been charged with one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to get information used to inflict emotional distress on the girl.

She was charged with conspiracy and fraudulently gaining access to someone else’s computer.

Megan hanged herself at home in October 2006, allegedly after receiving a dozen or more cruel messages, including one stating the world would be better off without her.

Salvador Hernandez, assistant agent in charge of the Los Angeles FBI office, called the case heart-rending.

“The Internet is a world unto itself. People must know how far they can go before they must stop. They exploited a young girl’s weaknesses,” Hernandez said. “Whether the defendant could have foreseen the results, she’s responsible for her actions.”

Key events in the Megan Meier case

 The Feds acted after state authorities said they had no grounds to prosecute the woman, despite national outrage at her behavior. It sadly appeared at one point that no charges would be filed as Missouri prosecutors could find no crimes to charge Lori Drew with. It was simply criminal.

She set up a MySpace profile for the imaginary boy, complete with a picture of a random handsome youth, and then contacted Megan. “Josh Evans” chatted with Megan for about six weeks. He called her “sexi” and offered to take her out on a date.

Megan’s parents said their daughter, who struggled with her weight, was thrilled by the attention from a “hot” boy.

But then “Josh” turned on Megan. Among the last things Megan saw online on Oct. 16, 2006, were postings saying “Megan Meier is a slut” and “Megan Meier is fat.”

Her parents said the last message from “Josh” said, “Everybody hates you. … The world would be a better place without you.”

Megan hanged herself in her bedroom closet. She was about to turn 14.

Jack Berry Had Been Missing for Months … Dismembered Body Parts Encased in Concrete … Son Jeremiah Raymond Berry Arrested

A 20 year old has been arrested and accused of murdering his father, dismembering the body and encasing it in concrete. Hmm … sounds like another theory we have heard of.

42 year old Jack Berry had not been seen and had been missing for months. No one had heard from Jack Berry. Now investigators are following leads that Jack Berry’s body may have been scattered through out Montezuma County, AZ. The missing father’s son, 20 year old Jeremiah Raymond Berry, is being held as a suspect.

Arizona authorities tipped off the sheriff’s office on Monday about a missing person.

And on Tuesday night, they located several of the body parts. They continued the search on Wednesday.

Both Cortez police and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation are assisting the sheriff’s office with the investigation.

“We did recover some of the body parts and we’ve concluded with the assistance of a person of interest that the rest of the body was dismembered and placed throughout the county,” said Montezuma Sheriff Gerald Wallace.

Some of the body parts that police have recovered were encased in concrete. Authorities suspect Jeremiah Berry dismembered the body and encased remains in buckets of hardened concrete. Dismembered body parts encased in concrete buckets were found at a missing man’s home. The remains were found in three places, including the family home of Jack Berry, 42, who relatives said had been missing for a few months.

Wallace says searchers found two large buckets of hardened concrete, which were then run through a hospital CT scan machine. The scan revealed body parts inside.

He says the search is continuing with a dog trained to find bodies.

Berry faces charges for murder: Law enforcement officials try to identify victim of homicide with dismembered body

Jeremiah Raymond Berry, 20, is being held at the Montezuma County Detention Center on a $500,000 bond for investigation of murder. His father, Jack William Berry, 42, of Cortez, is listed as a missing person by authorities and is thought to be the victim.

Third Fatal Traffic Accident This Week Claims Life in Aruba … 9 Fatalities This Year on “One Safe Road”

Driving the safe roads of Aruba? Plan on renting a car when on vacation? 78 year old Edgar Renfrum became the 3rd traffic fatality alone this week in Aruba and the 9th this year. The roads in Aruba this year have become like a demolition derby of carnage.

The jeep in which Renfrum was, came from Dakota and wanted to turn on the main road towards the airport.  However, the driver failed to yield, and the car that was coming from the direction of the airport hit the jeep on the driver’s side. 

Just one more reason why not to get into a car with three people after leaving Carlos n’ Charlie’s. If the suspects don’t get you, another driver will.

Well-known former soccer player dies in traffic (Amigoe: 4/24/2008)

The traffic on the main road from Oranjestad to San Nicolas has claimed another life yesterday. 

ORANJESTAD — Edgar Renfrum, a former soccer player from Dakota that caused furore in the sixties, died in a traffic accident last Wednesday.

The accident took place around noon near the intersection at Price Smart.  The jeep in which Renfrum was, came from Dakota and wanted to turn on the main road towards the airport.  However, the driver failed to yield, and the car that was coming from the direction of the airport hit the jeep on the driver’s side.  At first, it didn’t look like the passengers of both cars were inured.  However, the 78-year old Renfrum that was in the back of the jeep, had died.  Reanimation attempts were in vain; he seemed to have died from a cardiac arrest.

This is the third fatal traffic accident this week.  The total number of fatalities in traffic this year is 9. 

Media Continues to Not Cover Becca McEvoy Case … What are you Waiting For, Becca to be Victimized Again?

WAKE UP MEDIA PRODUCERS AND TALK SHOW HOSTS THAT CLAIM YOU CARE ABOUT CHILDREN!!!

Does Becca McEvoy not deserve justice?

Has the media ever bothered to look into the case of 11 year old Becca McEvoy? There is a case right there in front of you that has all of the compelling elements for what the media cares about most, ratings. We are not even going to try and talk to the fact that there is a human, touching and gut wrenching side to this story that would appeal to viewers. No American ever wants to see an 11 year old child sexually abused let alone done so by the US Court system.

An 11 year old girl is allegedly sexually assaulted by her step-father, Bob Ingle, and then because of a horrible car accident tragedy Becca is killed prior to the case going to trial. Bob Ingle was charged with rape, sodomy and sexual abuse. Thus, a man who committed repeated crimes against his step-daughter may walk because of the fact that an accused get to face his/her accuser. Is a victim of rape supposed to lose their rights because they die?

PLEASE HELP PROVIDE JUSTICE FOR BECCA.

Mark Lunsford … HERO! A Parent Living the Worst Nightmare … Jessica Lunsford’s Legacy will help Children for Years to Come

Thank you Mark Lunsford for … JESSICA’S JUSTICE.

Hero:  a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities. One that shows great courage.

Mark Lunsford never thought that he would be one of the most known and respected children’s advocates of sex crimes. Mark Lunsford also never thought that he would lose his 9 year old daughter Jessica Lunsford in the manner he did and be living “a parent’s worst nightmare.”

“I didn’t spend my life raising kids so that somebody could one of them away,” he says.

But his daughter, nine-year-old Jessica, was taken away, abducted from home, sexually assaulted and murdered by convicted sex offender John Couey.

“The problem that we have in the United States with sexual predators and offenders is actually it’s insulting to all the people that these kind of crimes could go so lightly punished,” Mark explains.

However, out of the ashes and the tragedy arose a true American hero. We are constantly presented with strories in the media of what’s wrong with America. Or during this election year, what makes people bitter. We should never forget nor have to be reminded what makes America great. People like Mark Lunsford who take the worst of tragedies and turn them into causes for good are exactly the stuff of what hero’s are made of.   

Mark Lunsford is a perfect example that no parent ever thinks or expects that it will be their children who fall prey to such ruthless and vicious sex offenders like John Couey. What John Couey did to 9 year old Jessica Lunsford is well documented and makes even the most non-violent person want to stone him to death. Why do we love Mark Lunsford? Because he says it as it is. There is no political PC nonsense. Mark is not a politician. He is a parent on a mission, one to protect children and their rights. One that is all too often forgotten by law makers because children do not vote.

“My crusade is mandatory sentencing, 25 years to life. If you sexually abuse a child or you molest a child, I firmly believe you don’t have a right in society,” he says.

Now all he hopes is that his story, his nightmare will make a difference.

“She was just like the little girl that you would change the world for, plus ten,” he says describing his daughter, Jessica..

Mark Lunsford has become a hero to all and especially to sexually exploited, abused and murdered children at the hands of sex offenders. For that we owe Mark Lunsford a debt of gratitude that he has made it his person mission in life that other parents children may benefit for what happened to Jessica. Call it the legacy of Jessica Lunsford. Call it a father’s mission and Jessica’s Justice.

Virginia Tech … One Year Later … Day of Mourning After Worst Shooting Rampage in US History

Today, we remember those that lost their lives at VA Tech in Blacksburg, VA  and pray for their family and friends that they may find peace in such a tragic and horrible event. Please say a prayer.

It is hard to believe that it was only one year ago when the worst shooting massacre in US history took place at VA Tech. 32 people were senselessly killed during Seung-Hui Cho’s rampage. It is always tragic when one passes. It is made even more sad when those that die are so young and full of promise. It is made even more profoundly unimaginable when 32 are taken at once due to a mad man with mental issues.

However, this is not about the killer … this is about those that perished, remembering and honoring them, and their family and friends. It is obvious that the pain still exists for families at their loss. There are some times no words of comfort that we can provide. We can only let them know that we are thinking an praying for them. Today, we all become VA Tech alumni and pray for Hokie nation.

The darkness was broken by the flickering of a white candle, lit at the stroke of midnight. Soft weeping and the solemn strains of “Taps” were all that broke the silence of more than a thousand people gathered around the 32 memorial stones honoring the dead.

Aruba Triple Murder: Son Eugene Lampe Confesses to Triple Murder … Compare & Contrast to Natalee Holloway Death & Disappearance

What a difference a crime makes and who committed the crime. It would appear that Eugene Lampe initially made false comments to the police that made them skeptical of his initial statement. Did Eugene say that he dropped his 3 murdered family members off at the Holiday Inn as Joran Van der Sloot had once done? Did Eugene Lampe say he left his murdered family on the beach?

Two crimes … two drastically different outcomes. Yes, the crimes are different in nature; however, why would the ALE not have initially believed the story in once case but in another allowed the fraud to continue?

In the end it is nice to have friends in high places that can exert power and influence.

OUTRAGE!!! The Tragic Tale of Becca McEvoy … Victimized By Stepfather Bob Ingle & Then Again by the US Legal System (Part 1)

JUSTICE FOR BECCA MCEVOY!!!

For anymore who ever cared about their children and protecting children from not only child predators but our legal system as well, you must read the following story. To those in the media I would ask … Who is looking out for Becca McEvoy?

Since when in the United States do we care more about the rights of pedophile than the rights of children and justice for children who have been victimized!!! Law makers and judges better get their collective acts together before we look at them with the same disdain as we see the pedophiles and child predators themselves. Be prepared to be outraged by the story of Becca McEvoy.

Who has heard of the names and stories of 11 year old Rebecca “Becca” McEvoy and 13 year old Kristen Howard? The sad answer to that question is most likely, not many. The real question is why not!!! Maybe its because the media is too busy covering stories on what rehab Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan in in. Maybe Paris Hilton has a new video out on the internet. Or maybe for some reason the media wants to more promote the stupidest video of the day on YouTube. If the media wants to play videos, they should play the following and I suggest all should watch them as well:

VIDEO 1 VIDEO 2 VIDEO 3 VIDEO 4

As we sit back and hear some of the media discuss, some the most inane news of the day, I have to continually ask myself why have we heard nothing of two little girls who were not victimized once by being molested, but a second time that may be even more heinous.

Listen the family members and friends of Becca McEvoy speak out and discuss the case with Dana Pretzer on Scared Monkeys radio regarding 11 year old Becca. Be prepared to be outraged.

Who is Becca McEvoy? Becca was an 11 year old girl with her whole life ahead of her. She had all the hopes, promise and dreams of an 11 year old. Becca was a precious little girl with a dazzling smile, who would light up a room.

MOBILE, Ala.) March 12 — Becca McEvoy’s personality spills out of pictures, photos taken of her before a terrible accident.

She was goofy, pouty, and her cousin, Theresa Jordan says, Becca’s smile was dazzling. “Her little smile, she’d just come in the room and light up the room.”

Family members wanted Becca’s face to be shown in the attached video of this news report because she doesn’t have a voice… not anymore.

Unfortunately that would not come to pass as we read from her obituary that Rebecca Lynn “Becca” McEvoy, a student at First Baptist North Mobile School, died Monday in an area hospital.

Becca had a story and a secret to tell. That story lead to the investigation into rape charges against Bob Ingle, a former Chickasaw police officer and stepfather of Becca McEvoy. At the time, a 10 year old Becca mustered the courage to tell doctors and police her story of sexual abuse allegedly at the hands of her then step father. Bob Ingle was charged with rape, sodomy and sexual abuse.

However, the case gets worse if that is possible for Becca McEvoy and her family. 11 year old Becca McEvoy after being sexually molested would later die in a car accident before the rape case ever went to trial. In steps the lawyer that would defend a child predator wanting to dismiss the case stating that his client has constitutional right to cross examine his accuser.

“If we can’t use what she said, the case is over,” said Steve Giardini who prosecutes child sex crimes for the Mobile County District Attorney’s office. He says there will be a hearing to determine if what Becca said before her death can be used in a trial.

That hearing was supposed to be held on March 13. It has been pushed back for a second time in order to accommodate cases where the victims are alive. Giardini says he wants to prosecute the case. Whether he can will be up to a judge.” She’s not here and her case might not be seen and if its not, I feel like I failed her.” (NBC 15)

Can you imagine that the fate of justice for a little girl is now in the hands of a judge. Please do not let children be victimized twice. It is bad enough that an 11 year old was raped, but to allow her to be raped again by the legal system is beyond shameful.

Yet again there was another form of victimzation by low life’s who have a special spot reserved in hell that would use the death of a 11 year old girl as a scam for their monetary gain.

Much more to follow …
