Or in the case of the nuclear warheads transported illegally from Minot AFB ND to Barksdale AFB LA on August 30, 2007 and then the crew and some related people ended up inexplicably dead or suicided so they could not talk. I guess the police have picked up on that trend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-25041564571385510502008-06-10T15:39:00.000-05:002008-06-10T15:39:00.000-05:00Where is the Cedric Benson fan thread?Where is the Cedric Benson fan thread?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-15947417357083717042008-06-10T08:10:00.000-05:002008-06-10T08:10:00.000-05:00I don't know if the rest of the local tv stations ...I don't know if the rest of the local tv stations are reporting in a similar manner as channel 4...but the other night when I heard that story reported on that station there was no mention whatever of any police being the alleged customers for that dealer's steroids - only sports figures?

That might make it easier to identify problem-departments, since any of multiple potential lines of investigation could be productive.<BR/><BR/>In the interest of a full accounting, in the Plano case if not others, it is also possible that 3rd parties (steroids suppliers?) wanted to prevent loose talk. These 'others' could have plugged the leak, with or without the police department being involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-19760883486302493352008-06-09T13:08:00.000-05:002008-06-09T13:08:00.000-05:00I agree.

I was at the 2008 NPC Lone Star Classic contest in Plano this weekend with this tragic event weighing on the minds of many in attendance.<BR/><BR/>Both David Jacobs and Amanda Sevall were well known within the community (although ostracized because Jacobs was thought to have ratted out other pro and amateur bodybuilders in spite of his statements to the contrary).<BR/><BR/>The consensus among people who knew Jacobs was that a murder-suicide was most likely scenario; the big surprise was not that he did it but that Sevall was still with him and that he was able to take her with him.<BR/><BR/>I agree with the murder-suicide ruling. But the appearance of police corruption is unacceptable. Jacobs was disliked by enough bodybuilders, athletes, cops that conspiracy theorists will keep the suspicions alive indefinitely.<BR/><BR/>An independent investigation needs to be called.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-67381019329007331992008-06-09T11:48:00.000-05:002008-06-09T11:48:00.000-05:00You are correct; this deal needs an outside invest...You are correct; this deal needs an outside investigator, preferably from the Feds. <BR/><BR/>But keep in mind, Texas has an interesting history of gunshot suicides. For instance, about a decade back, the body of a local book-collector/gambler of Bastrop washed up on the bank of the Colorado. Decedant had been shot in the head, maybe in the back of the head. The intrepid local sheriff of the time, a retired, former Austin PD detective, after full investigation, issued his opinion of suicide. Extensive search never turned up a gun on the River banks or bottom. That was because, said the sheriff, the decedent had tied the gun with a short cord to a capped plastic jug. Upon the release of the gun after decedent shot himself in the head, the gun was carried far downstream on the current, perhaps even into Matagorda Bay. I'm not making this up.<BR/><BR/>In yet another "suicide", a banker in a Central Texas rural town was found dead in a pasture. There was speculation that decedent had been involved with organized bad guys in a program of peculation of the bank's money. Decedent's death was due to two gun-shot wounds to the back of the head. I don't know if the gun was found or not.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that stories like this are more frequent than we know, because they are not picked up by the big city press. Strange things happen in sparsely populated areas which the locals would rather not know too much about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
