Another week has come and gone since Linda Franklin was shot and killed. Everyone held their breath and hoped she was the last. I feared she wouldn't be.

There has been two dreams that have come in ..... one my own, one that my friend Mysde had. And there has been some actual information since the original posting of this story. I have faithfully sent the information on to the proper people, and there has been no acknowledgment of any kind. I guess that's okay, but for the sake of my readers, I'm now going to tell the information and the dreams. The readers can draw their own conclusions, and when it's all over we can all look back and see what was said and done.

Before getting into the information and dreams, some background information is necessary:

Mysde's husband is a police officer named Jason: My husband's name is Mike and he is a supervisor with Englander Bedding.

Many years ago .... long before I ever knew Mysde, Mike was a supervisor with the old A.B.Chance Company in Parkersburg, West Virginia. In fact, that's where we met. I was an inspector in the Inspection Department.

Shortly after I quit Chance and came home to raise my dogs and design a house that we would eventually build, Mike was shot while at work! One of the women in his department was trying to free herself from an abusive alcoholic husband and he didn't take too kindly to losing his pay check. He had given warning three days in a row that he intended to come into the factory and kill his wife as well as the man she was dating. No, the man she was dating was not my husband!

Regardless, no one warned the foremen about this nut case, and therefore when he did come into the factory no one was prepared. Mike was talking to another foreman when one of his workers went past him screaming. Both men headed for the machinery which was extremely dangerous. Both thought there had been an accident on one of the machines.

Mike rounded the corner just as the lone gunman drew down on the back of his wife's head. She was trying to get away from him by running into the next department. He pulled the trigger and Mike took the full blast in the stomach. After Mike went down, the man continued shooting and actually emptied the pistol inside the factory! They said bullets ricocheted off steel beams in all directions!

The bullet ripped through Mike's sternum bone and the liver, and had he not been 6' 3" tall, it would have probably went through his heart and killed him instantly.

I walked into the emergency room that day to find half a dozen nurses and two doctors desperately trying to locate the bullet. They informed me that he had already been to x-ray but would have to go back because the x-rays did not reveal the bullet and they knew it was still inside him.

Oh the marvels of modern medicine! I opened his shirt and stepped back so I could see his chest, stomach and side.

"Your bullet is lying between the third and fourth rib," I informed the doctors.

"Well if that isn't the damnedest thing ..... we can't see the bullet with e-rays, and the man's wife walks in and looks at him and says, Oh, here's your bullet!" I heard one doctor say to the other as Mike was wheeled away toward surgery.

Mike recovered from his injury and the shooter went to prison for three years. Local authorities refused to charge him with attempted murder even though he had threatened for three days to kill someone. That was my very first experience with the justice system, and its peculiar workings. It hasn't changed much ..... at least not here.

And the fact is ..... neither have I. I've never been the type of person to panic, never been unreasonably fearful or paranoid about anything, never been known to become hysterical or dysfunctional regardless of the situation.

I do not live my life based upon dreams ..... but neither do I ignore dreams, especially if I believe they are intended to save someone's life or to help catch someone who has taken another's life.

On with the dreams and information that I believe might be important in the serial shooter case.

The Information:

On or about October 16th, a man named Jason (not Mysde's husband) was returning to the Little Hocking area, from the direction of Athens, Ohio. As he traveled on the newly constructed four lane highway he came upon a white van with a rack on top of it. He thought to himself...."I wouldn't want to be driving a white van with a rack on top of it now days," just as he noticed the van had a Maryland license plate on it!

Being a level headed person, Jason noted the license number and cut out to pass the van. As he passed, he glanced over at the van's driver and said he'd never in his entire life seen such a cold, hate-filled stare, as the driver gave him.

Once around the van he attempted to put some distance between them. The driver of the van sped up. The first exit Jason came to was the Coolville exit. He had not planned on turning off at Coolville, but under the circumstances he decided that's exactly what he was going to do. He gave a signal that he was turning off and realized the other vehicles behind the van cut out to pass him but the van didn't. It stayed right on his tail and all but came to a complete stop on the highway as he turned off, almost as if trying to decide whether to follow him into Coolville. Thankfully, the driver decided against that action and continued on northward.

Jason phoned the police that same night and gave them the information he'd gathered, including a complete description, make, model and the license number from the white van. He said they wouldn't tell him much, but did say that the plate did not belong on that vehicle and that it was an expired tag!

**Within a few hours of Jason's sighting of this suspicious vehicle, there was a shooting in northern Ohio in which a semi-truck and a passenger car was damaged as a bullet came through their windshields. The incident took place on Interstate 71 right close to the Route 95 junction.

It was announced one time.....and one time only on our local news as a "Copycat Shooting." I continue to wonder if it really was.

This information has all been sent to authorities in Virginia.

On to the dreams, both of which came in on October 17th, shortly before I learned of Jason's experience:

** See Footnote **

My dream:The Birthday Party:

This was a very simple dream ..... I dreamed I was invited to John Winstanley's birthday party. There were many people there and I knew none of them. It was held in an outdoor area that I thought was a road side park because I could see many trees and pic-nic tables.

(John Winstanley is a former detective with the Washington County Sheriff's Department. I have not seen John or spoken directly to him for six years or more. We were never "friends." We were simply two people doing our jobs. I have never been to his home and he has never been to mine. There is no reason that I would dream of attending his birthday party .....especially since I had the dream three days after his birthday!)

Mysde's dream: The Pine Boxes

Mysde dreamed that she was at an outdoor function of some type. Her husband Jason was standing behind her and she could hear him talking but every time she turned to look at him he was not there. Someone said something to her about getting shot and she replied that she had never been shot but she knew someone who had. She told the person he needed to talk to Mike Wells because he got shot at Englander Bedding Company!

She then noticed some small, green boxes and went to investigate. They were set out in groupings of three. Each had a small opening cut in the side of it and a glass tube sitting down inside of it. The glass tubes were filled with something that looked like potpourri. As she held each box up and looked into the opening she could see that each said something about "pine." ..... "pine fragrance, pine scent, pine aroma," etc.

The dream ended with her trying to see Jason once again, but being unable to even though she could hear his voice.

I didn't send either of these dreams to law enforcement, as I have finally gotten it through my head that they find dreams a waste of time. So be it.

But for those who wish to know what I thought about the dreams.....here goes....

The only person at John Winstanley's birthday party that I knew was him: The only person in the state of Virginia that I know, or have met, seen and spoke with is a "cop named John!"

The last victim of the shooter/sniper was Linda Franklin and she was murdered on John Winstanley's birthday. The dream was telling me that "Franklin was not the end. The "party" would continue. It would continue in outdoor areas where there were tables, trees, etc. and that I would know none of the people who were there/shot." However, since John Winstanley and I share the same wedding anniversary, there was a strong possibility that the next victim would be married and with his/her spouse at the time of the shooting, just as Linda Franklin had been. My own understanding of the psychopathic mind warned that the next victim might very well be a man since the last had been a woman.

Mysde's dream concerned me the most. I was afraid the pine boxes represented coffins .....and she couldn't remember how many she had seen! I tried to take her back into the dream to recover this important number but all we could get was groups of three, and she knew there were at least a dozen boxes if not fifteen, or eighteen.

Hearing Jason but not being able to see him told me that the shooter would eventually "speak" to someone, but it would be after he had shot another person. I saw the reference to "pine" as symbolic of a location......perhaps a pine grove, outdoor park area, road side rest area, etc. and I thought the small holes cut in the boxes represented the "scope" the shooter looked through before he pulled the trigger.

Mike being shot at Englander Bedding puzzled me. Mysde knew Mike had worked for Chance at the time he was shot. Why would she dream it was Englander Bedding? I couldn't answer that one. All I could think of was the silly comment I'd made to Winstanley one time about....."England swings like a pendulum do......bobbies on bicycles two by two."

However, it made me think a "man" was going to be the next victim. And I wouldn't be surprised if his name was "Mike."

The mentioning of Mike within Mysde's dream caused me to think of my own dream about Winstanley. I also thought about the woman named Rhonda who had first contacted me about the sniper, and I recalled how recent news had connected Rhonda Manley with a criminal in Tennessee and how he would soon be sent back here to stand trial. Ronda had been murdered on Mike's birthday in 1992. I thought Virginia had some trouble coming, but I could be wrong.

The Facts & The Fulfillment:

On October 19th, the sniper found himself another victim.

A man and his wife were leaving a "Ponderosa" restaurant at approximately 8:00 pm. As they walked toward their vehicle, parked on the back of the large parking lot, a shot rang out from the direction of the grove of trees to the rear of the restaurant.

The "man" was struck in the "abdomen" area by the bullet.

I do not know this man's name. No one is telling it. All I can do is wonder why.

They have said that he and his wife were not residents of Virginia but were traveling through. I figured they had stopped for dinner before finding a motel and "bedding" down for the night!

The man has now undergone surgery and the bullet has been removed. It matches the others from the snipers gun. I had no doubts that it would. This brings his victim list to an even dozen. Will there be more? If so, I'm betting on three, or six, or nine...

If we are ever told where the victim and his wife are from I won't be surprised if it is Ohio or West Virginia .... or England!!!

Englander Bedding is located in an area known as the Industrial Park. There are several other factories and businesses there. After the latest victim was shot the police combed the wooded area from which the shot was fired and said there was a clearing just beyond the trees where plans were underway to build a mall or shopping park.

Although we have not been told exactly what was said, apparently the shooter left a message for the police .... so I guess one could say "they can hear him but can't see him."

And in closing, all that seems left to say is ..... Ponderosa = "a pine tree."

Ponderosa also reminds me of an old tv program ..... one that supposedly took place in "Virginia" City ..... Bonanza ..... Ben, Adam, Little Joe, Hoss .....

October 25th, 2002

Well, it appears the "sniper's" have been apprehended. There were "two" of them instead of one lone gunman as most people assumed. It was after their arrest that I began to see and understand some of the things within the two dreams that I have previously mentioned.

And there were several things that I saw that I sincerely hope the rest of the world sat up and took notice of ......especially Washington County, Ohio. Sometimes everything is NOT a "coincidence." Sometimes it's by design ..... granted, it's often designed by a madman (or madmen, as the case may be) but to ignore such things only invites disaster, as we have all recently seen.

One thing that I found remarkable, and something that threw every reporter in the country for a loop was the "duplications" within the killing spree. Of course I think I was a little better prepared for them than most people were ...... all things considered.

Both men arrested were named "John." One was John Allen Williams/Muhammad and the other was John Lee Malvo. Of course I thought of "John" Winstanley, and "John" Lyerly .... who wouldn't have?

But beyond that, I actually had to chuckle to myself, in spite of the seriousness of the situation. I'd said I wouldn't be surprised if the next victim was a man named Mike. Of course his name wasn't Mike. It was Conrad Johnson and he was a bus driver in Maryland. However ..... after the two "John's" were arrested and I learned their names, I understood the Englander connection as well as the "Mike" connection a little better.

At the time my husband Mike was shot by the gunman who entered the factory where he worked, I had recently divorced a man by the name of John Michael Williams, who went by Mike! And I have to admit, even I was somewhat impressed by this one! I'd not named "the victim" as I had supposed, but had actually named the shooters!

And as far as the "Englander" part of it is concerned. I will not give the full name of the man who shot Mike because he is already dead and there is no reason or excuse for hurting any of his remaining family member's. But I will say that his last name was "Britton," ..... and ya just can't get much more "English" than that ..... unless of course you want to consider the name of the man who phoned 911 when he saw the car that the supposed shooters were sleeping in. His last name was Lancz (pronounced same as Lance) ..... and I thought of King Author, the knights of the round table, Sir Lancelot. ....Kings, Queens = England, Great Britton / Englander!

Bedding? Did I hear someone ask about "bedding?" Oh, did I forget to tell you, the two John's were "asleep in their car" when they were spotted by Mr. Lancz.

And finally, after all these years I realized what the little quote from a Roger Miller song ....England swings like a pendulum do .... bobbies on bicycles two by two.....actually foretold.

It wasn't so much for "Washington County" but was for our entire nation. It showed a time period in which cops from various districts and agencies would work side by side and their mode of transportation would be different. Our "bobbies/cops" don't usually ride bicycles, but during the search for the snipers they were on bicycles, on foot, in cars and trucks, helicopters, airplanes and probably skate boards! The FBI worked shoulder to shoulder with city police and sheriff departments while the CIA and the U.S. Military gave them as much backup and support as possible. I was proud of their efforts and all that they did.

Coincidence?

There are many more things that I could say here tonight, but I won't, except to say the two by two applied to more than just the cops. It symbolized duplications ..... and we saw many. In fact there were so many that the Fox News reporters were getting lost. Again, I had to chuckle.

Of course they didn't know that I'd just sent a package of materials to a detective named John in Louisiana but I did, and many of my readers knew that I did. So I was not surprised to learn that John Williams/Muhammad was born in Louisiana.

Nor was I that confused when the news reports began talking about Washington DC and the state of Washington. One of the first things the FBI did in Washington state was dig up a tree stump where John Muhammad had once target practiced. Seems like I said something about a "tree!"

And then came Tacoma Washington and Tacoma Park .....and Montgomery Alabama, and Montgomery County. And there was Grandprix and Bellprix ..... and two victims that were "drivers" one drove a cab and was shot on the 2nd of October and the last drove a bus and was shot on the 22nd of October / two victims at gas stations, two at shopping areas, and on and on the twosome's went.... as if to emphasize the "two by two" portion of my statement to Winstanley.

I just shook my head because I couldn't believe I'd originally had an Alabama song on this page titled....Shaggin On The Boulevard, and had removed it and replaced it with a loud and clear message from an Englishman named Rod Stewart....."Leave Virginia Alone." And within hours, Virginia was okay.....for awhile......a little while. At least until the next crackpot crawls out of the woodwork. Then, I suppose I'll go back to work in my own peculiar way, my own style.

And in closing.....they say there are 14 shooting victims. I say "they" are wrong. There are 15 victims. As Mysde's dream indicated they would be in groups of three. Fourteen cannot be divided by 3 and come out equally. Fifteen can. I say there are fifteen victims.

They say the shootings began on October 2nd ..... I say they began earlier.

Congratulations

Congratulations to all branches of law enforcement, and thank you for all that you did ......and do.....to keep our streets safe for people like me. I don't say it often enough I guess, but I do appreciate all that you do.

To the family members and friends of all the victims, wherever they may be...... my deepest condolence. As far as I'm concerned a firing squad would be too kind for the cold blooded killers that destroyed your lives, and rattled a mighty nation.

And to the defense attorney's who may defend the younger of the two thugs ..... I've already heard the "his rights" bullshit, and that's exactly what it is. "He" has no "rights" in this nation. He is nothing more, nothing less than a blood sucking leech, that by every American law should have been deported the day he was discovered in our nation. He is not an American citizen. He is just as much a terrorist as Bin Laden. I suppose if he makes it to our shores and is discovered sun bathing in Florida, you will start screaming about his rights also. Forget it. The American people are fed up with this game. You make millions while we die by the millions.

"Woe be unto ye lawyers" .....

and these are not my words, but from God! Better listen.

October 29th, 2002

According to news reports John Williams and John Malvo are now being charged with the murder of Keena Cook in Tacoma, Washington. This brings the "victim list" to the predicted (15) figure.

And this may .....or may not be the end of the victims of the "Notorious Johns of Washington" .... but "if" it isn't the end, then I am sticking right with my earlier statement ....."They will be in groups of three," meaning there will be.....15 .... 18 .... 21 ....etc.

And in closing, I'd like to say .... the "code words" that pulled me into the sniper case were .....

Number one is the name Martin. A man by the name of Martin was one of the first victims in the Washington DC area, and Martin was my maiden name:

Number two on my list is the word/name Washington as I seem to tune into anything connected to Washington, possibly because I live in Washington County of Ohio:

Number three was the murder of an agent of "the law" on John Winstanley's birthday. Why it didn't attract his attention is anybodies guess. Regardless, it grabbed mine.

Number four was the murder of a man named Johnson. He was the last victim and I will not explain my reasoning on this one, but those who know me personally will know the story behind it and they will understand.

Number five was the name John itself. Those who follow my writings will know and understand my connections to the name John.

Number six was the name Williams, and I've already explained this one to everyone.

Foot Notes:

November 30th, 2004: This page was originally posted a little over two years ago, and after everything seemed to be over, I promptly moved on to other matters and issues.

However, there appears to be something within this story that I needed to come back and update. I know exactly what it is.

In the section above titled "Contacts" I mentioned a man who I heard talking to a reporter on tv at the time of the DC shootings. I said I was ashamed to admit that I did not recall the man's name.

Well, as so often is the case with me .... today I received a message concerning a new book that has just hit the market. I'm not quite finished with Peter Vronsky's book SERIAL KILLERS - The Method And Madness Of Monsters, which I bought a week ago. Never the less, I was interested in this new book so I went to the web site to see what it was all about. I was reading right along, and then I came across this statement .... "Based on my analysis of 54 American serial killers' spatial behavior, Predator drew a wedge shaped map that suggested the most likely home base and/or a work area had a directional bias toward Northern Virginia. I knew at the time and stated during interviews that one of the snipers had a connection to the Northern Virginia/DC area. At the lower portion of the wedge was Fredericksburg."

That's when I said .... "Well, it's back to my "Sniper" page for an update, because here's the guy I was talking about, but could not remember his name! So, for my readers ..... for the American public .... here's the man's name, and the address of the same page that I viewed. I intend to order his book, and encourage others to do likewise.

Dr. Maurice Godwin, and his book can be seen by clicking on the following link. There are other sites and pages where Dr. Godwin's work can be found. I located them by typing his name into my browser.

Tracker - Hunting Down Serial Killers / Dr. Maurice Godwin

The so called "Copycat Shooting" in northern Ohio turned out to be yet another "sniper." He eventually killed one woman, and injured several people before he was apprehended: The same thing was happening in southern West Virginia for awhile. The person for those shootings has not been caught as of this writing, although they did have a man in custody for awhile under suspicion of being the WV Shooter. He was eventually released. No other arrests have been made and no other shootings have occurred:
