E-Mail About T.J. McCray

* indicates name or word has been changed:

Hello

I am really interested in receiving more details about the whereabouts of my {*relative} T.J. McCray on the night of Miss Evans' murder. Please tell me what you can with as much detail and contact information as you can. The police won't tell the family anything and I feel he's being railroaded. At this time he is in prison on a shoplifting charge. They have him 5 years in prison for stealing a pair of shoes from Kmart. 5 years is a long time to make a case against someone! I only want the truth and justice.

Please help if you can.

My Response:

{*Maggie},

Thank you for writing to me.

I'm very sorry but I cannot tell you anything about the whereabouts of your {*relative} on the night that Stephanie Evans was murdered.

But, I can tell you this .....

If I were your {*relative}, and I was sitting in prison for shoplifting, I'd be screaming my head off as far as my whereabouts on the night of Evans' murder is concerned!

In other words, I shouldn't have to tell you where he was ..... he should be telling it.....to you, to me, to the media, to anyone who will listen. And I would listen to him because I too would like to know the truth to some of these murder cases. Either we got a bunch of damned killers running around among us, or we got one dangerous serial killer that really needs to be gotten off our streets.

See if you can find out if TJ was in Maine on the morning of April 2nd of that year. If he was, and if he's the guy they arrested in Maine that morning, there is absolutely no way he could have killed Stephanie Evans.

I am not connected to the case in any way except as already stated on my web site.

I did not know Stephanie nor any of her family. I am not interested in defending a guilty person, but neither am I interested in railroading an innocent one. This has already happened too many times.

Thanks for writing.

There has been no response from *Maggie in regards to my letter to her, and I've heard nothing from TJ McCray.

However, the letter from Maggie seems to refute the rumor about TJ McCray being a hide-a-way in Canada.

I have chosen to put Maggie's letter on this page, so everyone can see for themselves what has been said to me about the case. And...just in case the letter did not actually come from a family member of TJ McCray, I thought that should be made public also.

I saved the e-mail along with my response, and of course have the address of the person who sent it. So it would be easy enough to check out, should anyone ever desire to do so.

There is no reason for me to doubt that it did actually come from someone close to TJ McCray, but I do wonder why the person never wrote back.

And while I'm wondering about so much .... I also wonder about this ...

If TJ McCray is incarcerated anywhere in the United States, and Ross County has so much incriminating evidence.....especially DNA evidence .... on him, then why has he not been charged with the murder of Stephanie Evans???

Personally, I say let the circumstantial evidence speak for itself. In the words of a federal prosecutor ...

"CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IS SOME OF THE BEST EVIDENCE YOU CAN HAVE BECAUSE ... CIRCUMSTANCES DON'T LIE!"

Ross County Takes Action

April 15, 2003...

As soon as accused murderer T. J. McCray was returned from Canada and safely in United States custody Monday night, he was informed the state of Ohio will seek the death penalty against him. McCray is accused of raping and then beating to death 21-year-old Stephanie Evans, whose partially clad body was found dumped along a river bank not far from her home in Richmond Dale. Her 2-year-old son was found abandoned nearby but was unharmed. Besides the rape and murder counts, McCray is now charged with kidnapping, gross abuse of a corpse and child endangering. Ross County Sheriff Ron Nichols says McCray also is a suspect in the murder of 84-year-old Ella Mae Grant, a Londonberry real estate agent who was fatally shot during a robbery at her home two months before the Evans murder. Nichols believes McCray is a cold-blooded murderer and used an international televising show to help find the suspect serving time in a Canadian prison under a false name.

T.J. McCray Returns to Ross County

April 16, 2003...

T.J. MCray spent the night in Columbus in the Franklin County jail and was then placed in the Ross County Jail upon his arrival around 10:30 am Tuesday morning. McCray is charged with kidnapping, gross abuse of a corpse, child endangering, rape and murder. McCray was informed that the State will seek the DEATH PENALTY.

He is also a suspect in the Ella Mae Grant murder. Ms. Grant was the 84 year old Realtor whom was shot during a break in to her home.

No More Contact

Does Canada send people to "prison" for five years for shoplifting?

Considering the above articles, I'm inclined to guess that the letter from his family member was not factual or truthful. It sounds as if he was "on the run," just like the sheriff's department claimed.

I'm not his attorney and wouldn't want to be his attorney, and I'm certainly not the least bit interested in helping anyone get away with murder or any other crime.

The things that I reported within this story cannot be changed because they were the truth, and the truth does not change regardless of whether we like it or not.

All I can say is that I do not understand some of the things that happened ..... like the writing in the mud along the river ..... and the date of April 2nd.

But I can say this ... {If} T.J. McCray murdered Stephanie Evans, and left her little boy sitting on the river bank all alone, then I hope he's hung from the highest tree.

And if he didn't murder her, then I hope he has a good attorney, because he's going to need one.

Now whether he's the same man that I was told was incarcerated in the state of Maine on the morning of April 2nd, or not, I cannot say, but if he is, then I would be very, very interested in learning how the man murdered Stephanie .... sometime around midnight, because the latest report states that she spoke to her sister at 11:30 pm ..... drove her van to Columbus and abandoned it, and made it to the state of Maine before noon the next day. I'd really like to know how he did that, because short of taking a plane, it is virtually impossible.

More Info - Dec 2004:

Within the first week of December I was contacted by 3 different people concerning Stephanie's case.

I will share some of the information those individuals gave to me.

1. I was told that T.J. McCray was not in Maine "the day after Stephanie's murder," but that in fact it was a couple of days later when the sheriff's department managed to track him down and discovered he had been arrested for attempting to steal a car, but had been released. If this information is correct, then the time line that appears on my first page of this story is irrelevant. He could have hopped a freight train, or hitchhiked, or whatever. How he got there is of no importance what so ever.

As I said before, I am not an attorney, and would not want to be T.J. McCray's attorney. But, if the information given to me is not correct, then it is up to the man's attorney to gather that information and use it to help his client.

2. I have been told that Stephanie did in fact know T.J. McCray, but that they were not "close" friends or anything like that. However, that same individual said that T.J. had phoned Stephanie at some point and told her he was coming by her place that day {April 1st.} No one seems to know for certain whether he actually was there earlier in the day or not.

3. Other information indicates that Stephanie was in fact seen speaking to an "older man" who may {or may not} fit the description of my Wild Bill character. I am still working on this information and will do an update as soon as I gain further details. However, whoever this man was, he was not speaking to her on the day that she was murdered. It apparently was sometime prior to that day.

4. I have been told that there is in fact a branch of the company that Wild Bill works for that is located within a short distance from where Stephanie lived and from where her body was dumped. They say it is located out route 220. If this is correct, then there is the same number {22} which has remained consistent in so many of these cases. It does not "guarantee" anything, but is simply another piece of the puzzle that cannot be explained at this time.

5. Sources say that one of Stephanie's shoes was located in another area, in front of the home of one of her friends. Supposedly, the shoe had an empty prescription bottle inside it. I do not know who's prescription bottle it was ..... Stephanie's or someone else's ..... but it did remind me of the empty prescription bottle that was found in the McCrady case. That bottle was supposedly from the Cleveland, Ohio area. I do not know, and have no way of knowing, if these bottles were actually connected to the crimes or not. It sounds rather peculiar to me, but then, I'm not a detective, and {if} Jackie McCrady did in fact murder his wife {as the jury decided}, then this is simply another "coincidence" and means nothing. However, I find it strange that this is yet another case in which the murdered woman's shoes are found somewhere other than her body! Guess this makes about 20 cases so far. Perhaps all killers have a thing for shoes!

6. There does not appear to be any relationship between the names .... Hickman, Burton, Martin ... that I am familiar with, and Stephanie Evans. (2012 NOTE: I was mistaken. There IS a connection to HICKMAN!)

I sincerely hope that T.J. McCray is the right person in Stephanie's case. Her case needs to be solved - but so do many others. And unless T.J. McCray is a serial killer, then we still have at least a dozen killers walking our streets with us! That's a scary thought.

Of course if my theory is correct then we have a serial killer. This doesn't mean he's a huge monster that can just grab any victim he chooses - I'm living proof of that. It simply means that there is a man out here {and nation wide there are dozens} that has killed more than 3 people. He isn't a freak. He isn't weird looking or filthy dirty and horrible smelling. If he was he would never make it in the serial killer world. It means he looks and acts like any other normal guy. He probably eats at the same restaurants that you and I eat at, goes dancing, watches movies, plays with his children or grand kids, and enjoys the same things we do. That's what makes him so hard to identify. But it is not my fault that he has not been identified, and short of committing suicide to satisfy his wishes, I don't know what else I can do to stop him.

And there's another item of importance that should be mentioned here. Even if I'm right and the killer has "fixated on," or became obsessed with me, that is simply something that God allowed to happen so that his identity could be revealed to people. The Lord knew I was a writer .... he made me a writer .... and he knew I would put the pieces together and show everyone. However, I am not the first person this killer has become obsessed with, nor am I the last. This is not anything new in the world of serial killers and psychopaths. They can become obsessed with a waitress in a restaurant, a nurse who they see working in a hospital, a school teacher, someone they saw in a news paper, a girl walking down the street with a friend, anyone is a potential victim to a serial killer.

Another Serial Killer Book

I've just finished reading another book about serial killers. I've read hundreds {and have all of them} about killers, psychopaths and maniacs, all in an effort to understand their characteristics, their ways of thinking and reasoning.

I highly recommend this book and will close this page with a few quotes from it, some of which will be followed by {my own comments} and what the quote reminded me of. When I get time I intend to design a new web page on which will be more quotes, much like appear on the pages for Dark Dreams and other books that I found of great value. In my opinion, this is one of the most valuable resources for information on serial killers that I have read in some time.

SERIAL KILLERS -

THE METHOD AND MADNESS OF MONSTERS:

Written by Peter Vronsky

"I have a problem with women." - Richard Cottingham, the Times Square Torso Ripper:

{"I have a problem, and need help." - Wild Bill 1994 upon his arrest for a sex crime in Marietta, Ohio.}

"He (Cottingham) would either pick up his victims on the streets of Manhattan or meet them in bars. Either way, he would buy them drinks or dinner and slip a date rape-type drug into their glass. He then would maneuver or lure the semiconscious victim to his car..."

{Wild Bill and B.H. 1992: Also pictures of unconscious women that he showed to his girlfriend and told her he waited until they passed out and raped them. When asked why he replied that, that way he didn't have to listen to their damned mouths.}

"Eighty percent of all known male serial killers in the United States appeared between 1950 and 1995. Serial killers between 1975 and 1995 accounted for 45 percent of the total of both male and female killers in the United States between 1800 and 1995. Between 1960 and 1990, confirmed serial homicides increased by 940 percent."

76 percent of all recently reported serial killings in the world took place in the United States.

{Washington County Ohio and surrounding areas in a 200 mile radius of Wash. Co. are saturated with unsolved homicides, primarily of women and girls, and yet authorities continue to ridicule the mere notion of a serial killer. Somehow they reason it makes them appear more intelligent, better trained, or perhaps wiser than those who dare speak the words "serial killer." But what does the alternative say? Two or three hundred "one strike killers" and they can't catch any of them! I'd be screaming .... "sophisticated, methodical, organized, SERIAL KILLER, from the roof tops if it was me!!! Oh, I forgot, I have been screaming that for years!}

"Scoptophilia - voyeurism; seeking sexual pleasure by peeping through windows, an early behavioral trend found in some serial killers who graduate from voyeurism to rape to murder."

{In the early eighties Wild Bill was married to his first wife, who had a school aged younger sister. The girl liked to go spend the weekends with her "big sister," but had to stop going because Wild Bill sneaked into her room at night and slipped his hands beneath the covers; and peeked through door cracks and watched the child as she was dressing:

His second wife also had a young daughter, and within a short while the girl accused him of molesting her and attempting to entice her friends into vehicles with him. The child had to go away from her mother and live with her grandmother in order to escape his sexual advances:

In December of 1980 he committed a sexual offense against two teenage girls in Marietta, Ohio and went to jail for 30 days:

In the late 1980's he exposed himself to 2 teenage girls who were sitting at a stop light. A few days later one of the girls was at a local car wash when she looked up and saw him watching her from a distance. One of her friends was able to get his license number and report him. No charges were brought against him although the girls tried:

In 1994 he exposed himself to a woman and her 2 year old child on a public street in broad daylight and threatened to rape the woman right there if she didn't agree to go to a motel with him! He spent 60 days in jail that time:

In 1997 he was accused by 2 young girls of exposing himself to them at a local park. He denied any involvement and the police dropped the issue. However, he later confessed to his girlfriend that it was in fact he who had done it, and he took the woman to the park and showed her what he does .... fixates on the victim {little 10,11 or 12 year old girls} while masturbating and pretending that he is raping them!

In 2000 he was indicted by the Washington County (Ohio) grand jury and charged with 3 counts of rape and sexual misconduct against his present girlfriend's 13 year old daughter. The girlfriend sided with him against her child ... as usual, he walked away unscathed.}

"If you want to understand the artist, look at his work. - John Douglas, former head of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Investigative Support Unit."

"If I have been doing my job right as a popular writer so far, you should be breathlessly alarmed by this described sudden and steady three-decade onslaught of crazed serial killers threatening us in every corner of the world.

The alarm you feel feeds sales of books, magazines, and commercial time on television. The historian in me, however, wants to know what really happened, even if the truth is more prosaic than the myth. This wave of serial murder is not as simple a story as a lot of true-crime literature, the government, and the media have been presenting it." - Peter Vronsky:

{letter #One from "*In The Know" }

Hi there!

After reading your page on the Stephanie Evan's case, I felt it necessary to contact you.

Since I personally know Stephanie & her sister, I would like to mention that she was a person who was loved deeply & will be missed.

I would also like to mention that TJ’s {portions omitted}: I have more information if you would like to contact me.

Thank you for writing about Stephanie. If I somehow gave the impression that Stephanie was not loved or missed, I apologize. I certainly never intended that , but after reading your message I almost felt that you thought that's what I'd done.

I don't know Stephanie or any of the others that are profiled on my web site, and sometimes that makes it hard. And, I can't get real personal with one case and then not do the same thing for others. I do try to add any information that is sent to me though, so if you want to tell me something about TJ or Stephanie or anyone else in the case, feel free to write anytime.

{letter #Two From "In The Know" }

Bonnie,

As you know the Londonderry/ Richmond Dale area is pretty quiet. Everyone knows everyone , and when something like this happens, people tend to take it pretty hard. Sadly It happens everywhere. But being from there, I would like to tell you what I know.

If you use my information, even though it is not much. I would like to stay anonymous. Living {in the same town with} a known killer leaves me no room for comfort. But this is what I know...

TJ McCray was in fact hiding in the woods in an abandoned shack a few days after Stephanie was murdered. {Someone} was seen taking food and packing water to him through the woods at night. The cops were called and they did a stake-out {portions removed}. TJ got a heads up and was told to leave town by {someone}.

To give you a little background on TJ.. He is not the kind of person you want to be associated with. TJ & his family are known for petty theft & being into drugs. They are not the kind of people you can trust.

The theory behind all of this is that TJ, Stephanie, & an unknown person robbed Ella Mae {Grant}. Things didn't’t go the way they were planned and Mrs. Grant was put to rest. The day Stephanie was killed she told a close friend, over the phone, that she was scared & needed to go to the cops about something, but she would not’t say what for. They’re conversation ended when an unknown person came to Stephanie’s house.

It was obvious that she knew who it was that murdered her. Here’s why I think so:

- Strange cigarette butts were found in her home. Meaning she was comfortable enough to let the person in & either they stayed long enough to smoke more than one cigarette or there was more than just one person.

- She took her son with her. Why on earth would you jeopardize your son's life by taking him along with you if you thought you were in danger? Again leading back to my theory that she knew the person very well.

- Her son had a warm temperature when he was found. Leading me to believe that he had been taken care of through out the night & placed back at the murder scene just before day break. If someone Stephanie didn't’t know killed her, why would they care enough about her son to see that he stayed alive?

There are just so many things that point to TJ & I just hope that justice is served.

But I have to ask, what is the purpose of your website?

{*In The Know}

My response to "In The Know," letter #Two:

I will keep your name out of things and will change enough details so that no one will know who you are {if} I use any of your info on my site.

The purpose of my site is to expose the activities of a certain man that I refer to as Wild Bill. I believe he is a serial killer and has been killing people since the late to mid 80's and possibly earlier. I befriended this man in 1990, at which time he told me he knew none of my family and had never heard the name "Martin" {my maiden name} until he met me. However, this turned out to be a lie, as I discovered my sister's name {Patty Martin} in an old phone directory of his that he had not used since the late 70's. Besides that my sister married in 1978 and her name was no longer Martin. Therefore he had to have known her name long before he ever met me.

Like I said, we met in 1990. In 1995, more than a year after our last conversation, he was living with a woman, and he showed her a picture of me that had to have been taken in 1987 during a parade. By 1996 he was living with a different woman. This woman's name was "Bonnie Hickman" and he also showed her this 1987 picture of me. Now this doesn't sound like a lot, but it shows that the man was stalking me and my sister at least 3 years before I met him. And it establishes the fact that the man is a liar.

It was after he met me that our murder cases began to take on a strange appearance. They all seemed to be "connected to me" in one way or another:

Every story on my web site is another "piece of the puzzle" and shows how - over the years - this puzzle has been acted out and brought into focus.

For example: Patsy Sparks was murdered. She had my sister's first name - Patty/Patsy: Kimberly Fulton was murdered. She had my sister's last name - Fulton: {both cases remain unsolved}

Then there was the woman Bill was living with in 1995. Her former common-law husband {the father of her 3 boys} was Sammy Lyons. Sammy was a friend of my sister's, although I never knew him. One day Sammy stopped to visit my sister and when she walked out to the curb to talk to him she looked up the street and noticed Bill's truck sitting part way up the street. "That son-of-a-bitch" Patty said. Sammy inquired what she was talking about and she told him that was the third time that day she'd caught Bill watching her home and she didn't know if he was stalking her, one of her daughters {8 and 9 years old at the time} or just what he was doing. Sammy got out of his car and walked back to Bill's truck. No one ever knew what he said to Bill, but there was no fighting or anything like that. Bill pulled out, shot Patty a dirty look and left. Sammy told her she wouldn't have any more trouble with him, and she didn't.

Sammy Lyons died a few months later - in the early morning hours of December 28th, 1993. He'd taken his friend Mike and his niece with him and gone to visit his children in Elizabeth, West Virginia. They were heading back home when the accident occurred. Both Sammy and Mike were killed and the little girl sustained brain damage and remembers nothing. The police said they suspected Sammy was forced off the road, but they couldn't prove it. That same night Bill was not home, and at 5 in the morning he was attempting to outrun a highway patrol officer and ended up in jail. None of it made any sense at the time, and yet I suspected he'd done something just prior to his fleeing and eluding and was establishing an alibi. Precisely 10 months after Sammy's death Bill was living with his widow and 3 boys! He did not know the woman at the time of Sammy's death:

When Kimberly Fulton was murdered Bill was working just a short distance from where she lived. {Approximately a 2 minute drive!} She had worked with Bill's mother in 2 different locations so I know he knew her because he was always going to see his mother at her work place. Right after Kimberly's murder Bill went to work for the "Martin"-Xxxxxx Xxxxx Company. Kimberly father also worked for this company. Then Bill threw his girlfriend out and brought in a new one. Her name, as I said was Bonnie Hickman. As far as I could determine at that time, the "symbolic murder of my sister" was complete - Patty Martin Fulton - with Martin being permanently in his grasp.

And thus began the "duplication" of me - not symbolic murder - but duplication: Bonnie Hickman remained with Bill for awhile {off and on} and eventually he found a new woman. Her last name was "Wells". He "duplicated many other things too during this time period and they can all be read on my web site in the duplication stories, of which Stephanie's case is but one part.

As soon as Bill got rid of the Wells woman he picked up with a woman by the name of Cindy. That's when I knew we were moving from me to my friend Sindee who had helped me document his rovings for several years, as had my friend Judy who co-owned a dog by the name of Zep with me. Judy's birthday is 6-13: I didn't know for sure which of my friends he'd go after next, but I was convinced he'd go after one of them even if it was only "symbolically" which is the only way he could do it. If anything ever happens to any of us, he will be the first one the law goes after and he knows this. But the symbolic murders work like a charm, especially if he keeps them out of my immediate area. No one notices.

Anyway, my friend Sindee now lives with a man whose last name is Evans. Her boyfriend hails from Jackson, Ohio and is distantly related to Stephanie Evans. The next one to go was Stephanie Evans, whose mother is a Hickman. On the river bank, not far from where Stephanie was left, Sindee and I saw something written in the dirt that would only draw my attention. It was ZEP 13: Zep died on 9-19-94: In 1996 Jenifer McCrady was murdered. Her husband, Trooper Jackie D. McCrady now sits in Ross County prison for the crime.

Just before Bill picked Bonnie Hickman up and moved her into his home, and promised to marry her - she had been dating my sister's ex-husband: And just before Jackie McCrady met and married Jenifer, Jackie dated my sister:

This mess is entirely too long and complicated to all be told in a letter. That's why I have devoted hundreds of hours and ten solid years to designing a web site and writing 25 books that shows the connections between these cases. They cannot be seen though if each person is only interested in the case of the person they knew or cared about. As long as it begins and ends with that person, then there is no hope of stopping him, and (** he will continue to act out his obsession with "Martin." )

I believe it goes all the way back to my brother Mike Martin and his girlfriend Joyce. Joyce was taken out and raped while Mike was in the Marines. Her parents would do nothing about it. I know Mike well enough to know that when he came home, he hunted the rapist down and nearly killed him. And I know he told him if he ever came near another woman in his family, he would finish the job. Mike and Joyce married, had three children and then divorced. Mike died of a heart attack at the age of 34 at our parents home on November 24th, 1986. We buried him on November 28th, and that's the night the murders began - Janet Miller was murdered that night and dumped precisely 1 mile from Mike's grave. It hasn't let up since. Our "protector" was gone. It was killing time - and time to show every man out there what would happen to him or "his woman" {IF} he dared interfere with Bill and whatever woman he chose.

2010 insert: (Had he already obtained Joyce and Martin all in one felled swoop, even before I wrote the statement above, but long before I realized it? You decide: Joyce // Martin // Jameika Porch Case

If TJ McCray murdered Stephanie, then he's right where he belongs. And if Stephanie helped him rob and kill that elderly woman, then the way I look at things - It's "justice" for Ella {Mae} Grant that's actually important here. By the way, my middle name is May:

As far as the cigarette butts are concerned, you might want to read The Tonya Trio. If TJ was hiding in the woods {and I was told by a Richmond Dale cop that he lived in those woods most of the time}, then my question is - why did he drive her van to Columbus? How did he get back home?

Why did he come back home? I was told that he drove her van to Columbus and then hopped a freight train and went to the state of Maine.

Well, it probably doesn't matter anyway. He'll be convicted whether he killed her or not, and everyone will feel safe again in Richmond Dale. And then, one day - perhaps on the anniversary of Stephanie's murder - or her birthday - or something - something that only a hand full of people will notice, he will strike again. And once again I will get bombarded with emails and phone calls, and I will search every information source, design another web page and show how it connects to several other previous cases - but no one will notice - except the handful of faithful followers who have been watching and documenting for so long. And the handful of innocent men who sit behind bars for crimes they did not commit. They will notice - and Bill will notice - and that's all that really counts.

PS: I was told that one of Stephanie's shoes was tossed into the driveway of one of her friends. It wasn't you - was it? If not, do you know who it was and how far she lives from where Stephanie lived? Thanks,

Bonnie

Well, needless to say, I've heard absolutely nothing more from "In The Know," - not even an answer to my "shoe" question. I guess I'm not surprised. However, my questions remain the same, as do my own suspicions. Too many things do not add up in the Evans case, and there is nothing 'personal' in that statement because I don't know any of the people involved on either side.

And to be honest, that's the way I like it. I guess I think of myself as a freelance juror - if there is such a thing. Perhaps I just invented something! Anyway, I listen to both sides, as well as knowing that there might possibly be a third side that only I am aware of. Still, I try to remain objective.

There has been another "message" sent to me concerning the Evans case. It can be found on my guest book, so I will copy and past it here {just as it occurs on the guest book} so my readers can see the type of people I sometimes have to deal with. And of course I'll show how I deal with such people, because that's just my style.

My Answer To "kara"

Comments:

To Kara Karshner:

Exactly who are you calling a stupid bitch - me or Maggie? Considering the way your message is composed and written, I don't think too many people will have difficulty in deciding who's actually the stupid one.

As far as me having a right to say anything about Stephanie - who the hell died and left you in charge of "my right to free speech?" Are you ignorant enough to believe that every reporter that does an article in any news paper "knows" the person they did the article on? Do you watch tv? Do you think people like Bill O'Reilly, Montell Williams, Oprah Winfrey, etc. "know" all the people they discuss and report on?

I assume that you did know Stephanie, and I also assume you are talking about Stephanie Evans, although, all things considered, I could be wrong about that since you didn't have sense enough to actually say which case you were criticizing me about. But if you did know Stephanie, then my question to you is why would you resent the fact that I became interested in the girl's case and want to see her killer apprehended and punished?

Exactly "who" are you friends with? Do you know personally my suspect? Or do you know personally the suspect the law has in custody? If not, better keep your damned mouth shut because unless you know them personally you have no right to even breathe their name or make one comment about them, or put forth one theory or one question! See, that freedom of speech thing swings both directions. You deprive me, you deprive yourself. Better wake up and smell the roses while you still got a nose to sniff with!

After receiving the comments on my guest book from kara, I went in search of information on her - naturally!

And as usual, it didn't take my sources long to fill me in on the important details about her. However, the thing that I have to chuckle about now is the fact that "Maggie" has to be the person near the top of this page that is related to TJ McCray! Apparently kara isn't intelligent enough to realize {or read, for that matter} that Maggie is a name that I made up for the author of the letter, in order to protect him/her from just the type of person that kara obviously is!

When I change details, I sometimes even change the name to represent the opposite gender of the real person - "but not always kara, not always. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't."

Because you see kara, I continue to believe that I have as much right to speak out in these cases as you do; and I believe that "Maggie" and everyone else has that same right - in fact, duty and obligation. This is America. Land of the free: Home of the brave - and obviously ignorant and uneducated, not to mention just plain stupid!

I think you watched wayyy too many movies and read too many stories. Who are you to say anything about Stephanie Evans,let alone right a article about her&her death. Your "sources" told you a whole lot....a whole lot of bullshit. Your not an "insider" on anything,your sources is the Chillicothe Gazette which everyone gets the chance to read that...you take what you want from it.And you surely did....you are a crazy bitch....that obviously needs to find something better to do with their time!

My Response: 9-16-05:

Kymberlee,

I've never seen a copy of the Chillicothe Gazette in my life, and I "take" nothing from no one.

I watch far less tv than anyone I know - as I am very busy with other work, and anyone who knows me can {and will} tell you that. As far as having a right to speak out on the Stephanie Evans case, or any other case, I have as much right as you do.

I will not name my "source of information" because to be honest it's none of your ignorant business. And as far as my being a crazy bitch is concerned, how would you like to prove that little piece of slander? I've about had it with your kind, and if you are an example of an "insider," then I will remain on the outside, thank you.

This nonsense of "choosing a suspect" based entirely on personal opinion needs to stop, because sooner or later the "system" will get around to you too. And when it does, I'm telling you today - here and now - do not contact me, because I could care less.

I will retain your letter - as I always do, and some day, when this nightmare is over, and the entire world knows what my family, friends and I have been put through, then they will know who the truly crazy, selfish bitches of this world really are.

Meanwhile - kiss my royal ass, stay to hell off my web site, and mind your own damned business.

First off I don't have to prove you to be a crazy bitch, you already did that....by rambling on about shit that doesnt concern you. Second off- write about YOUR family all you want to...not MINE!So if you took offense by me calling you a crazy bitch imagine what people take by reading your dumb stories...that has nothing to do with you! So instead of me kissing your ass you can kiss MINE!

"MIND YOUR OWN DAMNED BUISNESS" that is my buisness.When you get on a web site and see somebody talking about your family twisting and turning everything that is the truth anyone in their RIGHT mind would be upset. "Slander" what do you think your doing to Stephanie.. atleast Im talking about someone that is alive to defend themselves you piece of shit!As for your web site I wouldnt want to get on that crazy thing ever again,I couldnt even finish ...It makes me sick.If you had better things to do rather then watch t.v such as "work" then you should tend to it because I dont think you could actually be doing much of anything I think your sorta rapped up in everyone else's lives.........maybe you should watch more tv and read more newspaper's because your NUTS!

Kymberlee

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me:

For I trust in thy word. (Psalms 119:42)

My Thoughts On Kymberlee's Accusations, Slander and Insults:

I have re-read every word that [I wrote] about Stephanie Evans. I can find absolutely nothing that [I] said that is insulting, slanderous, libelous, derogatory, or malicious in any way.

Why Kymberlee has chosen to attack me, is irrelevant at this point. I make no apologies for my interest in the case; will not disclose the identity of my "sources," and will not drop it from my web site until after the trail of TJ McCray, which I may very well decide to sit in on, and listen to the evidence myself.

It appears that Kymberlee's "only" interest and concern lies with Stephanie's case. I guess that's okay, but it's not my style.

If I have to wait until it's a member of my own family, or one of my friends before I "have the right" to open my mouth in protest, then where's this going to stop? And, Heaven forbid if it's me that's killed, who will speak out in protest of my death? Certainly not the Kymberlee's of this world, that's for sure!

First Kymberlee says -

"Your not an "insider" on anything, your sources is the Chillicothe Gazette which everyone gets the chance to read that...you take what you want from it.And you surely did....you are a crazy bitch...."

This is a blatant accusation of plagiarism, a serious charge against any author..... and one that makes this author fighting mad!

I have always given credit to any news papers, tv stations, individual reporters, authors, even informants and sources of information, provided they did not ask me to keep their identity anonymous, and I seriously resent this woman's accusations that I have stolen other people's work and passed it off as my own. Yes sir, I seriously resent this - even more so than her calling me a crazy bitch.

The only actual "News Article" that appears on Stephanie's page is plainly titled "NEWS ARTICLE" - here's a copy of the heading:

Death Is Still Under Investigation

The Times-Journal: Jackson County Ohio

April 5, 2001

*******************

But, since Kymberlee is so sure that I "took what I wanted from the Chillicothe Gazette," and passed it off as my own work, then I must conclude that the Chillicothe Gazette is actually the source of her irritation. Therefore, I'd like to know if she wrote to the Chillicothe Gazette and called them crazy bitches - or did she just discriminate against me?

You know, being interested in what's going on in this world, and what has happened to other people is not a crime. It's actually an admirable quality, that some people obviously do not posses.

Being psychic is not a crime, and is actually a respectable business for many people:

Being crazy is not a crime although it can make life difficult for those who have to put up with the dysfunctional individual:

And, being a bitch is not a crime.

But what this woman has accused me of is a crime, and I have no intentions of forgetting it.

As I have tried to explain to my readers on dozens of pages on this web site [ a remarkable accomplishment for a crazy person, I might add!} Stephanie's murder was not the first in this series of "symbolic murders," that have been occurring since 1990, and sadly it is not the last either.

That does not mean that I am trying to trivialize Stephanie's murder. That would be the last thing I'd ever do. Her life was just as important as mine or anyone else's [more important than mine, considering the comments of some people] and I have chosen to devote my time to working these old cases, so I cannot blame anyone except myself for the negative comments that I sometimes receive. And normally, I accept those negative comments, consider them, and if merited, make changes where needed.

However, accusing a person of a crime goes far beyond disagreeing with that person or making a negative comment.

So, in my own self defense, I must say here and now, I did in fact warn in 1998 that the name Evans had been brought to my attention, not once, but twice. The first time was with the murder of Carol Gordon on June 25th, 1998. June 25th is my friend Sindee Davis-Evans' birthday. And I did make it plain that I was concerned that the killer was incorporating my friend into this drama that had been used against my family members since 1990.

The second warning about "Evans" occurred the last of June in 1998, and that was the brutal murder of a teenage girl who lived on "Evans" Street in Pennsylvania.

I spent many hours researching maps and trying my hardest to stay ahead of the killer - and I was ahead of him because in 1998, I sent Detective John Lyerly of the Front Royal, Virginia Sheriff's Dept. information indicating that I believed the killer was working on a "Washington" connection. In my opinion, I believed this indicated his whereabouts. That's something no one ever paid any attention to, but some day, when I have time, I will post all that information. Then everyone can see for themselves what I meant.

In that packet of information, I told Det. Lyerly that I believed we would see more murders of people whose names were connected to me, my family or my friends, and that I suspected the next murder or series of murders would be located closer to my home, and probably in the state of Ohio. I pinpointed 2 directions as possible strikes. One was Washington Court House, Ohio and the other was Old Washington, Ohio.

Stephanie Evans lived in the direction of Washington Court House, Ohio, and she was the next person murdered who had a name that fit into the symbolic drama that this web site is absolutely filled with.

So, I wasn't wrong, crazy or a liar in 1998. And I don't believe I'm wrong now either. I might be considered a crazy bitch [by some] but I am not a liar - not then, and not now, and I have never been a thief.

No one can say that "the killer read these warnings on my web site and then followed them," to make me correct, because this information is not posted anywhere on this web site, and until today, in my own self defense, I have not bothered to tell anyone except the police officers who have been involved in these cases.

The time has come though, that I see, I cannot depend on any cops to take a stand in my defense. Even though I have copies of every word I ever said to any of them, apparently they think I don't, and think I cannot tell who I spoke to or what was said. They are mistaken.

When I went to Richmond Dale, Ohio right after Stephanie's murder, the very first person I spoke to was a police officer. I do have his name, and I do have a witness to everything he told me. There again, out of respect for this gentleman, whom I believe was totally honest with me, and who seemed as sincere in his efforts as I was, I will not give his name. But you can rest assured I do know his name, and remember everything he told me.

I gave that officer a package of information to give to Sheriff Nichols of Ross County. I'm certain the man did in fact give that package to the sheriff. I'm almost as certain that the sheriff ignored it - just like many others have done.

The reason I believe this is because, in that package of information I warned the sheriff that [to the killer ] this was a game. [and I'm sorry if that offends anyone, but it's a well known fact that serial killers play mind games. It's not my words, so don't attack me! ] I warned the sheriff that if I was correct, the murders would continue with another name from my family or friends list, and that it might very well affect "his territory" again.

Like I said, the man either chose to ignore what I said or didn't bother to read the materials at all, because just one month after I was in Ross County talking to people about Stephanie Evans' murder, a woman by the name of Shannon "Anderson" was murdered, and her body was dumped in Ross County - right in the territory of Sheriff Nichols, just like I'd warned!

As with Stephanie Evans, Shannon Anderson was not the last victim, and 2001 was not the end of this nightmare.

But it appears that few care. Few have even bothered to look beyond their own noses, their own selfish interests to see that the list of victims [ people who were also once alive and who deserved to go on living. People who also had family and friends that loved them and didn't want to see them murdered.] has continued to grow - same pattern, same old dates, times, names, and places.

After Shannon Anderson - and in the same 3 year strike pattern that I identified years and years ago - came the deaths of Stephanie Davis; Misty Blu Gwinner, and an unknown woman who was dumped in Anderson township Ohio.

All I know is, my daughter is Christina Gordon-Anderson, and my friend is Mysde Davis-Evans, and if this makes me a crazy bitch, then so be it. I have told no lies. These people were once alive. They are now dead. Someone killed them, and they killed them according to a system that I figured out long ago.

In recent months, I have started posting my predictions on this web site instead of sending them to law enforcement. That way, if and when they pan out anyone interested can easily see that I was not copying things from news papers, or stealing someone else's work. And they can see that the pattern does indeed continue. Even though Jackie McCrady, Dennis Rydbom, Sammy Davis, Aubrey Davis, TJ McCray, and many others sit behind bars even as the new crimes are committed in the same manner as those they were arrested for. This should tell someone something, but it hasn't. Possibly because they are not looking at anything except that which is in their own yard.

In my opinion, this self centered attitude, poor little me syndrome, is costing innocent people their lives.

And now, if the world will excuse me, I really do have a few other things to do today. One of which is to try to figure out how to warn our next local victim. She's already been selected, and the writing is on the wall, with similarities to another "home town" case. There again, will anyone listen, or will they just call me a crazy bitch and hope someone slits my throat before the day is out?

I'm just the messenger folks. The killings won't stop until you get this psychopath off our streets. And here's a word to the wise - Terri Roach and Patsy Sparks were "related," to each other. My friend Sindee was related to both Terri and Patsy, and her boyfriend was distantly related to Stephanie Evans, so no one has the right to tell me that I am not "involved" with these cases and that they are none of my business. They are wrong. This is my business - your business - everyone's business, and people had better get up and take an interest in some of this stuff before it's too late.

And here's another strange "fact" - even those accused of the crimes [and always convicted] have a lot in common: Sammy Davis / Aubrey Davis: Jackie McCrady of "Ross County" Correctional Institute / T.J. McCray of Ross County: Rydbom stands alone - for now.

If Kymberlee's attitude was that of most people, I probably would not have this web site, nor the pages on Stephanie Evans. But, I'm happy to say, her attitude is NOT the norm - not even in the Evans case!

There are many comments on my guest book thanking me for my efforts in Stephanie's case as well as many, many others. Therefore, I choose to disregard Kymberlee's remarks about me being a crazy bitch; put her on "blocked email," so she can't bother me anymore, and get on with what's important in this world. However, I do not intend to let the plagiarism accusation go unmentioned, and if I have one iota of trouble because of this woman's accusations, she will find out exactly how bad a bitch I can really be, and that's a promise.
