And the Acorn has more on the body dumps: Gang dumps bodies in Malibu Canyon There's this update on the reward: The Calabasas City Council is adding $5,000 to the reward money for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for murdering Beaudette, a 35-year-old...

Nice to see the Reporter is on this. That publication does very good investigative journalism. However, the article doesn't go into the current state of affairs surrounding the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. Granted, this is a very large LE agency with a mind-boggling sprawl of...

A column this week from the Chico (CA) Enterprise-Record: Recent shooting puts spotlight on safety in state parks Stopping short of actually admitting it has a safety problem, the Parks Department now says a budget increase it just received will allow expansion of its force to more than 600...

The Local (Malibu media publication, cited on this thread previously) reported yesterday that a 'road rage incident at Malibu Creek State Park' shut down Malibu Canyon for about 30 minutes yesterday. LASD said the incident had be 'resolved.' Not sure of any other details.

4.30a-4.45a isn't really that early in that area. It might be dark (the roads there are well-lit) but it was a Friday morning and the commute starts early in SoCal. Las Virgenes Road goes from the 101 Freeway to the PCH, Mulholland runs east-west across the ridges and connects to other...

Those photos are from after LE was on scene for several hours. How do we know it wasn't LE that closed up all the zips and tightened the lines? In general, you can be pretty lax about your tent setup in SoCal. You can usually be 100% certain it's not going to rain (at most times of year - when...

Witnesses reported 4-6 shots fired. There is no information about the angles from which shots were fired. LE has not released any information. If you have a source for your claim, it would be helpful if you shared it here. (You've said before that you don't feel you need to do research to...

I agree with all this. I've done lots of solo camping, in a tent and in my car and I have a list of safe places I'll seek out for overnight stops. A serviced campground is definitely one of them. Camping with others, I'm more into backcountry where you don't hear other people's noise. And the...

I didn't interview him for an article so I'm not sure why I would say that as it would not be truthful. I posted about my first-hand experience at the park on an internet discussion forum. The park super as well as the LASD person said that they've talked to lots of people who've been...

There are two house-type buildings there which are designated on the campground map as the 'Angeles District Headquarters'. As I mentioned in my report upthread, these are buildings that are used by various types of resources workers, like biologists and other field people. I think there were...

Another resource. This is a video from May 2018, about one month before the homicide. This group camps in the campground, hikes in the park, has a big cookout at night. Mostly in Chinese with some English subtitles. You get a good idea of what the campground looks like during the day and at...

I spent some time going through Yelp reviews of the park. My interest was in seeing if people staying in the campground expressed any safety concerns in recent years. This one from 2013 was interesting: Horrible. No seclusion what so ever. A kid next to us had an air soft gun shooting who...

The superintendent is a public employee and his name and position are public information. In fact, the contact info of just about everyone who's affiliated with MCSP (including volunteers) is available on the park websites. We did identify our affiliations but said we were there on our own...

Another resource: Video: Slow drive-through of the entire campground by a camper looking for his group's ideal site. FWIW the way the bookings work: Campsite reservations are made online for $45/night plus a $7.99 booking fee. Walk-ins are accepted if there are unreserved sites. There is no...

<modsnipped quoted post> The woman and her bf woke up when they heard the shot. They didn't know what it was. And if they did think it was a close-range gunshot, do you really think it would be a good idea to venture outside in the dark where there is apparently someone shooting a gun? I...

In case this resource hasn't been posted yet: Malibu Creek State Park Campground photos (campsite.com) You can see photos of all 63 individual campsites.

<modsnipped quoted post> <modsnipped response to quoted post> The couple in the car did not 'casually dismiss' the incident. Not at all. Read the article linked to below to see the details and the contemporaneous Facebook post about the incident. He was killed in a tent with his daughters...

Trip report as promised! Very long! And I'm happy to answer any questions... 'Good morning', we said to the LASD deputy manning the desk at the Lost Hills Station. 'We were going to go hiking in the park but we've heard there are problems there.' The deputy shrugged. 'Well, someone was killed...

I was out at the park yesterday. Will write up a detailed report...

Weeks After Dad Was Murdered Next to His Daughters, How His Family Thinks the Case Could Be Solved figmutant@msn talks to Christine Pelisek at People.com about ways to make progress in this case. I especially like the suggestion of people who were in the campground that night checking their...
