Elrey “Bud” Runion, 69 and his wife June, 66, were last heard from on Thursday, Jan. 22. Cobb County [Georgia] police say the Marietta couple was reportedly headed to McRae to take buy a car and return the same night. According to a Facebook page set up for the missing couple, they were looking at a 1966 Mustang they found listed on Craigslist.

TODAY VIA ATLANTA (AP) — The car belonging to a Georgia couple who disappeared after traveling to meet a man claiming to sell a classic auto has been found in a lake with two bodies inside.
Telfair County Sheriff Chris Steverson said Monday that the bodies were found in the car 69-year-old Elrey “Bud” Runion and his wife, 66-year-old June Runion, had been traveling in toward McRae, in southern Georgia. Steverson says the bodies have not officially been identified and authorities have been in touch with the Runion family. He said the car was found not far from McRae. (more…)

“He shouldn’t have gotten out of the car”, a phrase heard consistently in both the Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown shootings. In essence the argument being both citizen George Zimmerman and officer Darren Wilson held responsibility for the outcome because they exited their vehicle.
We have discussed this viewpoint as the “Safari Principle“, however now the Ferguson/Saint Louis police department is considering the argument -under the auspices of “tactical retreat”- as a standard policy.
SAINT LOUIS – Like many officers involved in deadly force encounters, Darren Wilson said his training took over when he shot Michael Brown in Ferguson.
But what if Wilson had been trained differently?
The national upheaval from Brown’s death, and some others since, has put enormous pressure on law enforcement to find ways to control people’s behavior while using less violence. One possibility — simple but repugnant to some officers — is to teach police to back away from certain difficult situations until help can arrive.
The concept is known as “tactical retreat” or sometimes “tactical withdrawal” or “tactical restraint.”
“We add the word, ‘tactical’ and not just ‘retreating’ or ‘giving up’ because that’s what makes it palatable for police officers,” explained Seth Stoughton, a criminal law professor at the University of South Carolina. The former Florida officer is a nationally prominent advocate for applying the softer approach. (more…)

Weird, this was not on the CNN 24 hour News Cycle. I wonder why?
Four thugs went on a pre-planned criminal rampage, including robbery, firing on police, murder, and carrying serious heavy weapons. Two innocent women were killed as the rampage escalated and the violent attempted escape continued. This was one serious criminal episode.
Here’s video of how it began:

And The Full Story Including Outcome: Haines City, FL — All four suspects in a violent rampage and manhunt through Polk County were in custody Friday, but not before two innocent women were killed and an entire neighborhood – terrorized. (more…)

14-Years-Old. Fourteen prior arrests. Arrested again on January 14th. The response from his Grandfather is almost as alarming as the story around his current arrest….

TAMPA (FOX 13) – Hillsborough County deputies say they nearly had to shoot a 14-year-old who was reaching into his waistband.  Deputies say that a search revealed Dallas Robinson was carrying a gun and two magazines of hollow-point bullets.

“This was a kid that was fully-loaded, ready to go,” said HCSO spokesman Larry McKinnon.  They also found that he has a rap sheet that goes back to when he was 10.
Just after midnight in Tampa, near the intersection of St. James and 127th Ave., a deputy stopped Robinson because his bike didn’t have a headlight.
They say that Robinson ran and that the deputy struggled with him before Robinson reached for his waistband. (more…)

On the day before the New York Police were assassinated, an off duty officer was shot in Saint Louis while sitting in his vehicle. The incident was seemingly lost in the coverage of the NYPD shootings.  A few days earlier another murder and body found burning in vehicle. Both crimes now attributed to Dominic Irons, 29.
ST. LOUIS (KMOV) — The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office has issued warrants for the arrest of Dominic Irons, 29, for 2nd degree murder, 1st degree assault, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

A $500,000 cash-only bond has been issued.
Irons is the suspect in the death of Terrell Beasley, 28, who was found shot twice and burned in the back seat of a vehicle on Dec. 19. (more…)

TEXAS – An attempted robbery at a north Texas home left a promising Howard University football player dead during his holiday break, local reports said.
Terrence Neal Tusan, 22, was identified as one of two suspects discovered shot to death at a Denton apartment complex over the weekend after allegedly breaking into a home, authorities told the Denton Record-Chronicle.
He and Jakobi Dmon Gipson, 18, of Arlington, Tex., are accused of masking their faces and forcing their way into an apartment Sunday before gunfire erupted.
Tusan’s body was found outside the apartment in the 1500 block of Meadow St. Gipson’s body was discovered inside the apartment, police said. (more…)

On Saturday December 6th at 8:13pm the Courtland Fire Department responded to a car fire at 2352 Herron Road, Courtland, Mississippi. In addition to a burning car they found 19-year-old Jessica Lane Chambers burned and barely alive…

[…] Chambers, 19, died early Sunday after firefighters found her with burns over 98 percent of her body near a car burning on Herron Road near Courtland.

She had been set afire and then left by an assailant or assailants who obviously thought they were leaving her to an immediate death.

But she did not die immediately, remaining conscious at the scene long enough to talk to a firefighter from the Courtland Fire Department who arrived on the scene with two other volunteer firemen four minutes after receiving the report of the burning car.

“We know what she said, but we’re not commenting on that,” [District Attorney John] Champion said. (link)

Courtland Mississippi, population 500, is in Panola County, an area which has witnessed an explosion in gang related crime and criminal activity. This Day #7 update follows the backstory, the untold story, of how events continue to unfold.
In order to fully understand what follows it is strongly recommended you read Day#6 update. Without the understanding, well, what follows will seem challenging at best.
Jessica’s funeral was this past Saturday, 12/13.  During the funeral a person who gave a presentation at the regional Battered Woman’s Center (an abuse, counseling and treatment center) got up to speak.  She shared how Jessica had told her -a few months prior to her death- how someday Jessica wanted to write a book about her life.
It seems odd that a 19-year-old could have already experienced so much of life’s challenges that a book would seem possible. Alas, in Jessica Chambers’ short life there is more than one story.
In order to know what happened to Jessica, you’ve got to go back and understand what it is about her story can help catch the killer(s). (more…)

It will only be a short time before the professional grievance class calls this new approach racist. And the challengers will win in court. The tickets/summons are going to disproportionately be given to minority parents, therefore the ticketing process creates a “disparate impact” toward federally protected persons. That makes the new strategy unlawful, watch.
ST. LOUIS (KSDK) – Police are turning their attention to parents after a recent increase in crime involving young teens. They’re sending a warning to guardians: take responsibility for your kids, or you could end up in court.
Officers started using this new tactic following a shooting over the weekend. Police say one group of teens shot at another group of teens late Saturday night. A 16-year-old boy was hit in the foot. The shooters got away, but officers were tasked with finding the guardians of the victims. When they found them, police say, none of them knew where the kids were at the time of the shooting. So, they were issued summonses for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The shooting was just one of several involving young people within the city of St. Louis in recent months. And, young teens were also recently involved in a string of violent robberies downtown. (more…)
