Walking up on a drug deal doesn’t explain the reportedly gruesome, viscous beatings. You don’t torture beat someone before killing them if that occurs, you just kill them.




The people who killed them were on meth.

Didn't put his son in the car when he drove to the convenience store to use the phone?

When I first read this story, that's the first thing I thought about. Why wouldn't the dad put his son in the car and drive him to a hospital?

The dad shows up, speaks with his dying son. Then says I forgot my phone, so leaves his dying son and drives to a store to call for help instead of just using his son's, who we know had one becausehe had just called his dad for help. Then drives back to his son with a random 17 year old girl from the store..for what reason did she randomly go for a ride with a stranger to a triple homicide? Something seems fishy.

Fishing at 10:00 pm on a Friday night?

The only fishing I did at 10:00 on a Friday night when I was in my late 20’s was fishing for poon.

He's not strong enough to lift him, and the shot up, beat up boy is too weak to do anything. It's not easy to pick up a good sized man, who is dead weight. He probably wanted to rush somewhere to get some first aid stuff, so he could do whatever he could to save his son, while waiting on the ambulance. Not a lot of people have stuff for gunshot wounds in their vehicle. Maybe more folks will start.

Phone may have been dead by then. Also, the cell phone's GPS tracker would be guiding emergency personnel to the crime scene, since the guy probably called 911 too. You don't want to mess with that phone.

It's a rural area, there aren't very many random strangers. The girl and the father probably knew each other.

So the guys son is near death and the Dad leaves him there to die. Yeah. That’s not suspicious


Son calls and says help. Dad immediately knows where to go. Dad leaves his cell phone behind and doesn’t call cops. Gets to the scene, finds son clinging to life. Leaves son to go to convenience store to call 911, instead of using son’s phone, and returns to son with a 17 year old girl. And you think there is something suspicious about this story? All of those seem very logical. I can only imagine a million things going through the father’s mind, but he was 4-4 on doing the opposite of what would have been best.

I hate to be like this, but something doesn’t seem right.

Ground view of the murder site

You can see the amount of truck traffic that regularly goes towards the lake, but if you look around you will see some trash, like it's a hangout area. Interested in what ya'll think.

Luckily in my area that's not a big concern for me but it is in my rig if I decide I want to.
It's not a concern in my area either. Far from it. Rural, uber-conservative, predominantly Christian area for three hours any direction from here...

But this world has gone ape shite and I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. The only decision I make, based on where I'm entering, is whether to carry my compact. 380 in my pocket, or appendix carry a .45 1911.

Haven't needed either so far, and hope I never will.

I'm sure it's a well known, much used area, locally. Not the kind of place, that someone would pick to do a big drug deal.

Gonna back peddle on this, since it happened at 10pm, there would be less traffic to worry about.

0% chance this was random.

99.99999% chance drugs and money were involved.

Were these Euro Americans or Afro Americans
Funny you should ask Apparently that is a no no.

“We need the community’s help identifying who killed these three young white men,” Judd said.

Judd’s comment on the race of the victims immediately triggered reactions from those watching on Facebook. Some believe it weas a hate crime, though the Sheriff’s Office has not said that. Another commenter wrote: “Was it necessary to state white men? Or does it add more value? It’s sad and unfortunate despite the color of their damn skin.”
