Welcome Vamp!  I look forward to your entries!

We hope that you like our new home and name.  It is going to take awhile to get used to the new format, but hopefully things will fall into place quickly.

Thanks for reading!

The reason why I was gone was I had to move. It was not a move I wanted to make. My family and I moved into a 22 foot camper until we were able to find another home. It was not a fun six weeks. I was supposed to have Internet access while I was living in the camper, but things didn’t turn out as planned. I almost went out of my mind. We ended up moving twice within six weeks. I never want to move again!

My second granddaughter, Rilee was born on September 11th, about 3/4 of the way through my “Hell in the Camper” experience. It was a rough weekend trying to take care of my other granddaughter Kayli in the camper and trying to make sure my daughter and other granddaughter were fine 35 miles away. Rilee weighed in at 5 lbs 14.1 oz. and was 18.5 inches long. She has brown hair and blue eyes. I will post a picture of her later.

Please check back soon for new stories!

Thanks!

She further states that he introduced her to drugs when she was around 11 years old, taught her how to roll a joint, etc. She says that sometime after his rape of her their sexual relationship became “consensual” and that it went on for 10 years until she got pregnant and didn’t know if the baby was his or her husband. She says she got an abortion that her father paid for.

I’m having a major ICK factor with this.

In other news, John Travolta had to testify in court about the events surrounding the death of his beautiful and autistic 16 year old son, Jett.

His wife, Kelly Preston, was also there.
My heart goes out to them both and their daughter as they have to relive that nightmare due to the attempted extortion attempt perpetrated on them by two Bahamians.

Speaking of Dr Conrad Murray, the man at the center of the controversial death of Michael Jackson, he’s probably pretty nervous today. There is a Grand Jury investigating his negligence…and a woman he’s reportedly connected to is testifying…
Nicole Alvarez received a subpoena to appear before the grand jury on Wednesday morning and it’s been rumored that she is Murray’s girlfriend and that they have a little boy together. Her apartment was searched last month…although details about what may have been found, if anything are not available.
Grand juries are routinely used as an investigative tool to gather information and to compel reluctant witnesses to testify.

Joe Francis remember him? The Girls Gone Wild producer that was held without bail in Nevada for over a year? Well he has pleaded guilty to tax fraud and won’t spend anymore time in jail although he does have to pay $250,000 in restitution.

Let’s hope he quits his current career and focus’ his efforts on something more worthwhile. Like filming endangered animals for posterity.

I sincerely hope these 3 people are charged and found guilty of murder 1.

If Dr. Murray, who killed Michael Jackson on accident due to his negligence, is brought up on homocide charges then I believe the 3 who caused Anna’s (and possibly Daniel’s too) untimely death should be also.

They all deserve to be in jail for life and not a CA CLUB MED type either!!!

Clark shares a MySpace page with his fiancee and she described him as a “Wonderful boyfriend.”

In May 2008, she wrote about a rumor that Clark was cheating on her with another co-worker at tech lab.“My boyfriend, Ray, if you don’t know him, has no interest in any of the other girls at YARC as anything more than friends.”YARC is the Yale Animal Resource Center.

The most recent entry was Friday (9/11/09 but I hear the page is gone now), in which she writes, “Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I’m not perfect and I don’t live to be, but before you start pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean!!”

Why Jennifer? Yours aren’t…

Thank you and have a great day!

Thanks for your patience!

Michelle had bid her boyfriend good night, took a shower, and went to bed. But, before going to bed, she made sure her apartment was secure, she even double-checked her deadbolt to make sure it was locked. The time was just after midnight when Michelle went to bed. About two hours later, she woke up to find her bedroom light on and a strange man in her bedroom! Michelle had no clue who this stranger was or what he was doing in her bedroom. However, she was about to find out exactly what he had planned for her.

He jumped on Michelle who at first struggled with him. However, he told her he had a gun, so Michelle decided not to struggle with him. She relaxed and thought about how she could get away from him. He loosened his hold on her after she relaxed and she caught her breath and tried to escape him again. But, she couldn’t get away from him, plus she was nude. They fell to the floor, where Michelle’s assailant told her to put some clothes on because they were leaving her apartment. He also told Michelle NOT to get in her closet to get her clothes, but to put something on that was on the floor. Michelle felt a bit better, she felt like he wasn’t planning to rape her, if he was allowing her to put some clothes on. Her assailant told her to hurry. Michelle’s only thought was if she left with him, she wouldn’t make it back alive. She frantically thought of a way to get free of him.

As they were walking out of Michelle’s apartment, she noticed her attacker did NOT unlock the deadbolt, it was already unlocked. Michelle knew she locked the deadbolt before going to bed. After shutting the door, he assailant told her to come along quietly, because he had a gun. As they were going down the last flight of stairs, Michelle knew this was her last chance to get away from him. She decided to take a huge risk. Michelle started screaming!

As Michelle was screaming, her attacker started yelling at her to be quiet, but Michelle wasn’t about to be quiet. She kept screaming. Finally, her attacker told her he was going to shoot her. He pointed the gun at her, pulled the trigger, but Michelle didn’t feel anything. In fact, the gun sounded like a plastic pellet gun. He pulled the trigger again, and when that didn’t phase Michelle, he hit her over the head repeatedly. The gun broke and Michelle started bleeding. Her assailant walked away, and then came back and picked the plastic pieces of the gun up off the stairs, and calmly walked to the parking lot. He walked to a car that was parked next to a dumpster and got in, and drove away.

Michelle got up and watched him leave. She then noticed she was bleeding. She went back up the stairs to her apartment, where she put on some jeans and a shirt and called the police for help. She also wondered if anyone in the apartment complex heard her scream.

When the police came, they didn’t seem to take her seriously, despite her wounds. She showed the officer the flashlight her assailant left behind and told him that the flashlight didn’t belong to her. The officer reluctantly took the flashlight, not seeming to care if it might have valuable fingerprints on it. Michelle also explained to the officer that she made sure her deadbolt was locked before she went to bed, but when her assailant opened the door for them to leave, the deadbolt was already unlocked. She could not understand the officer’s indifferent attitude. She barely escaped with her life, and he didn’t seem to care or even believe her. Michelle made the decision that she would NOT spend another night in her apartment.

Michelle had her boyfriend come and get her and she left her apartment never to return, except to get her belongings. The next day, while picking up her blankets and sheets off of the floor where they fell when she was struggling with her assailant, she discovered a knife. She knew the knife didn’t belong to her, so she called the police again. Their response was to tell her to bring the knife by when she had the chance. By now, Michelle was thoroughly frustrated by the police department’s indifference and their lack of understanding for her situation. She was beaten by a strange man, whom she didn’t know, who broke into her apartment, and the police didn’t seem to care.

Early Sunday morning, June 18, 1989, Michelle’s attacker struck again. His name was Richard Grissom JR. He had a lengthy adult criminal record, as well as a conviction for murder as a juvenile. If the police would have done their jobs properly when Michelle’s attack happened, maybe three innocent lives would have been saved. Maybe, if the police would have tried to take fingerprints off of the knife and flashlight, the next two attacks and three murders could have been prevented.

Who were the three final victims of Richard Grissom? What other crimes did he commit during this time? Is he really just another misunderstood killer who had a terrible childhood? Come back tomorrow for Part III. It will be worth your time!

Thanks for reading. All comments (bad or good) are welcome.

Her husband Frank Kerby.

Fresno Police only named Frank Kerby a person of interest, not a suspect…although I don’t know why not. He is not cooperating with investigators and hasn’t since almost the moment Sandra went missing. Police have said that Frank had given them conflicting statements of his movements for the day Sandra went missing . He claimed he was in Fresno on the day Sandra disappeared, but cell phone records show he was in Reedley at least at some point on that day. There is a lot of open and accessible territory still in Reedley…and there was a lot of new construction not far from where she disappeared as well.

6 months after Sandra’s disappearance police obtained a search warrant seizing a computer, files, and personal records including Sandra’s diary where she wrote she knew Frank was having an affair.

Just a few days after Sandra mysteriously disappeared Frank proposed marriage to his girlfriend…something that immediatly sets my “hinky meter” into the red zone and off the charts.

Bette Shearman, Sandra’s mother, once enjoyed painting but says her artistic inspiration vanished when her daughter disappeared ten years ago. She continues to call Sandra’s former husband Frank Kerby a killer. Shearman said, “I know he did it. He was mean … When she comes with fat lips and black eyes, wouldn’t you think that guy is the one who killed her.”

Detectives found Sandra’s white Ford Explorer parked at the River Park Shopping Center in front of Target with her purse and keys locked inside 2 days after she was reported missing. What woman goes to a shopping center and leaves her purse and keys in the car? A shopping center which happens to be within walking distance to her home…in the Woodward Park area.

The seat of the car was adjusted to accomodate someone much taller than the 5′ 5″ Sandra. Other than her car, nothing else has been found to tell what happened to her. Maybe with current foresnic technology they can retest and find something from evidence submitted to the crime lab just 6 months ago. Results of those tests are still pending…
10 years ago when Sandra went missing ribbons covered the fence line at the school Sandra taught hoping for her safe return. Parents and teachers passed out flyers asking for the community’s help. But on this past Friday, there were none of those same efforts to mark the 10 year annivesary, just a quiet school.
Sue Smits was principal at Gibson when Sandra vanished. Smits said, “Sandy will never be forgotten as an educator … Sandy was a unique teacher. She had the ability to nurture students at whatever level they were performing.”

A Fresno judge declared Sandra legally dead nearly three years ago even though her body was never been found. Her mother still hopes someone will unravel the mystery. Shearman said, “Maybe she disappeared, well I never had that in mind that maybe she got mad and just went off. To me, she is dead. I’ve just accepted it.” She further stated that she felt her daughter would not have abandoned her children and that soon before she disappeared she had told her that she was “finally going to get a divorce” from Frank.
Frank refused to speak with any media on this last Friday. Once again, he is, unfortunatley only a person of interest. Fresno Police are not optimistic the DNA testing will even be completed soon because of the state budget crisis.

Do I think there is any chance of them finding Sandra’s body now?

Well let’s just say I hope that Scott Peterson will have a new neighbor in San Quentin one of these days very soon.
