Here's another Texas Monthly true crime story : A Tree is Known by its Fruit

This double murder was about a mile from my parent's place.

This is mostly just a long sad story of a loser but there's a piece of detective work I appreciated. Detectives know that Scherer was in Primm, Nevada on March 7, 2008 -- the day of the murder -- from gas station receipts. There's also prints from a size 12 shoe at the scene -- odd because Scherer wears a 10 1/2.

quote:

Looking for anything to bolster his case, Nieto took a second look at those crime scene photos. Something caught his eye.

"I'm getting chills just telling you this story now," he said.

Nieto made a startling discovery: a bloody piece of paper, which turned out to be a warranty card from a Nike youth baseball bat.

"I called my investigator and I said, 'You got to get up here. We found the murder weapon,'" he said. "These two people, 57 and 60 years old, have no reason to have a youth baseball bat in their home. Never mind a warranty card affixed to the barrel of a baseball bat with dad's blood on it."

"You don't have a physical murder weapon but you essentially have a murder weapon...with this little piece of paper?" Van Sant asked.

"Yes," Nieto replied.

More than two years after the murders, investigators finally knew the instrument used to kill Ernest and Charlene. Now they needed to find a way to put the bat in Ernie's hands.

"I focused on Primm," Nieto said. "[Ernie] had used the McDonald's and the Chevron station as the starting point for his alibi, so I said, "Let's see what else is in Primm."

And just like that, the dominoes started to fall into place. Standing just footsteps away from the McDonalds is a Nike Outlet store.

"That led us to a particular cash transaction in which an individual purchased three items: The baseball bat, a pair of Nike Tomahawk Impax shoes, size 12, and a pair of youth soccer goalie gloves. Those three items might as well be a 101 kit for how to commit murder," said Nieto.

The items were purchased on March 7, 2008.

I read the currently trending article about a meat packing plant employee who had been charged with 71 murders for disappearing co-workers in the nearby rendering plant. It was an unnerving read but after a bit of research I found it was in fact a hoax and fake article. Good luck convincing the people sharing it though. There's 6 or more websites running the story, citing each other as sources, but when you get up to that many sites people believe it quicker. The picture they use is a guy that was arrested for child porn, which is about what I thought when I first saw the mugshot.

Here is the article I originally read.

quote:

Jeremiah Burroughs, who is a Gulf war veteran, is suspected of suffering from PTSD syndrome and of extreme paranoia, explains police officer Emet Rubbens.

“We have no idea why he committed these atrocious crimes, there seems to lack a motive. What is most distressing is how he got away with these atrocious crimes for such a long period of time. It seems he just processed his victims meat as he would’ve done with any other cow. His victims all disappeared somewhere in the meat packing process” he expressed with disgust.

I don't know how that could ever be expected to pass as actual published journalism. Even at the Weekly World News they'd have known to put a comma at the end of a quote.

The 71 dead coworkers all at the same plant wasn't a tip off? I know slaughterhouse safety probably isn't top notch but I feel like after the first handful of mysteriously disappearing plant workers a few eyebrows would probably be raised

James Joyce posted:

You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I hosed them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to gently caress a farting woman when every gently caress drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

I've heard things you people wouldn't believe. Air biscuits on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I smelled SBDs festering in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like a squeaker in the elevator... Time to fart and depart.

That's because a lot of the people who wrote for WWN were actual real journalists who got bored of normal journalism/couldn't find work so they decided to do satire instead. Most of the good people left in the late 90's, but for a long time it had guys writing for it who had done real world respected journalism.

I got your hot letter tonight and have been trying to picture you frigging your oval office in the closet. How do you do it? Do you stand against the wall with your hand tickling up under your clothes or do you squat down on the hole with your skirts up and your hand hard at work in through the slit of your drawers? Does it give you the horn now to poo poo? I wonder how you can do it. Do you come in the act of making GBS threads or do you frig yourself off first and then poo poo? It must be a fearfully lecherous thing to see a girl with her clothes up frigging furiously at her oval office, to see her pretty white drawers pulled open behind and her bum sticking out and a fat brown thing stuck half-way out of her hole. You say you will poo poo your drawers, dear, and let me gently caress you then. I would like to hear you poo poo them, dear, first and then gently caress you. Some night when we are somewhere in the dark and talking dirty and you feel your shite ready to fall put your arms around my neck in shame and poo poo it down softly. The sound will madden me and when I pull up your dress
No use continuing! You can guess why!

It would also add no information if it was her. So she was alive and in her home town a month before she was murdered. Could have guessed that already. Unless someone can dig up a full list of named extras for the day of the scene it tells us nothing.
