This was his claim when he was confronted in a face to face meeting with him in a restaurant in Fenton Mo in August of 1996. In front of another witness. I did not say I believe his bs story. Further, what I have said was relayed to LE and hopefully documented.

It causes too much confusion to discuss other people by the same name as the suspect in this case. Please only discuss JLW and not other criminals who share the same name. Thanks.

IIRC, CWW took off to FL for a 'vacation' following the murder of RB. Then, after returning to Missouri hired a lawyer.

I find this very interesting as he claimed the same thing in 1996 when questioned about RB's disappearance. He even went so far to show bruises. Could be the only person in America who has been beaten multiple times by LE, having retained attorney's but has never sued. Or, maybe his wounds had something to do with his penchant for kickboxing, or possibly messages sent from someone higher up a chain? That said, Jeffco does have a reputation. Lets face it. CWW is just a chronic LIAR as well as everything else he has done.

Traffic stop, taken into custody for almost a month. Even if LE beat CWW looking for information, under no circumstances could this go on FOR A MONTH. More likely he took another 'vacation' or was kidnapped and beat up.

Clarification - he went off the radar and nobody (the 2 or 3 people I knew that knew Wayne) knew where he was, and that lasted for a month. But it does not mean that I know that Wayne was in jail for that whole time. It might have lasted considerably less time. But he was not answering phone and messages for close to a month. Honestly, I would like to have better info on that, but I don't.

Actually, according to https://www.courts.mo.gov/casenet

2196R-04141 and 2196R-04141-01- ST V CURTIS W WRIGHT JR

He was arrested on charges of unlawful use of a weapon and distribution of a controlled substance around August 3, 1996, he appeared in court August 12, had to post bail and did so on August 14. So LE would have had him in jail for over a week, less than a month after RB's disappearance.

His trial was December 18, 1996, he pleaded guilty to the weapons charge and a reduced charge of possession of marijuana and received a suspended sentence.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. It's a good question but one I don't know the real answer to. I know they have "friends and family" who will do whatever CWW tells them to do - including making people "disappear". Whether it's organized crime or just deep corruption I can't say with any certainty. All I know is that people who cross CWW do NOT do so a second time. Not around here anyway. They have both been known bullies/psychopaths since childhood and they never really changed that insanity part of themselves.

Note for thread:
Russell Ryen Meddows was out on bail (receiving stolen property) at the time of RB's demise.

I'm bringing this post over from another thread. Creepingskills asked questioneverything whether CWW and JW were involved in organized crime and why were they so feared. The answer is helpful here too IMO.


Based on this answer, I'd like to ask questioneverything if you think these two would be inclined to do a friend a "favor" and make someone "inconvenient" disappear. I'm thinking of Amanda Jones who disappeared in 2005 from Hillsboro, and was inconveniently pregnant by a guy involved in computers. It's a long shot and I keep asking locals because I'm sort of obsessed with finding a connection to CWW. She has a thread here. Sorry to go OT. And thanks.

March 1996: Someone broke into RB's home and stole a computer. He suspected CWW, but, could it be RM?
04/09/1996: Russell Meddows pled guilty to receiving stolen property, coincidence? Very possibly, but who knows.
April 1996: CWW and unknown person shot at RB while driving
July 9, 1996: RB meets with CWW and goes missing

If RB suspected CWW was the one who broke into his home and stole a computer, why would he borrow anything ($900 lie) from CWW? He wouldn't. Why would CWW loan him anything at all, but especially for drugs, if according to CWW ex-gf, CWW didn't like RB.

If CWW shot at RB (attempted murder, imo) why would he take RB to dinner and a movie? Frankly, if CWW stole from me and tried to kill me at least once before (car shooting) there's no way I'd go on a date with him. I might get disappeared.

From here:http://www.naplesnews.com/news/crim...-interest-in-preachers-disappearance_47698865

"Bolin’s brother said someone had broken into Bolin’s trailer that March and stolen a computer. The brother suspected Wright was the thief. In April, the brother said Wright and another unidentified man had pulled up next to Bolin in traffic and fired a shot into his driver’s side window."

So my answer to your question is most definitely a yes, especially if the person asking is not only a friend but has money/family with money. I have personally been looking at these cases and the M.O. is similar for both. I can't say for certain if CWW and BW were friends, however, that is a rumor that I had heard at the time but i can't verify if it's true or not. I know that they did go to high school together and so it's a distinct possibility that they were friends. I recently ran across an article from the Amanda Jones case as it's the ten year anniversary this year. The article was written at the time of the disappearance. Pay attention to ALL the names involved - including POI, LE, and Family. See if it rings any bells for you. I found it interesting.

I like the timeline you're putting together but I don't necessarily believe the page 2 version of who loaned who. I find the version that it was Ronnie who loaned CWW money, on page 9 & page 11, more believable. The page 2 version as questioneverything pointed out is not sourced.
