I also thought i'd come out of under the "Rock." I'm not sure where all of the Johnny Come Lately's get their info, but i've just about had all i can stand of the rude posts by them (hence i climbed out from the aforementioned rock).
I've posted here on and off for quite a while and followed the case for years. That does not mean that my opinion is worth more than anyone else's, but hopefully i am at least informed!
First for "Shefner" (thank you for joining this month by the way, and welcome to the site), I will tell you how Paul won the $1mm award...Larry King was not able to attend the trial (prison) and offered no legal response to the suit. Thus, everything that Decamp entered into evidence was "assumed" to be true as a matter of law since there was no rebuttle (it may have been true, i have no idea). He could have said the sky was red and it would have been accepted by the court. The judgement was essentially a "summary" judgement since nobody showed up to defend against it....That's how he won the $1mm dollars...
And AussieLela, I don't know why you are so "shocked' at Teresa's opinion. Youre entitled to your's (and frankly i'm shocked that you think that is Johnny tied up in the pics! Looks nothing like him to my eyes!) but please lay off others that do not share in it. It is not people like her that let the animals get away with these things. Shame on you!
So, let me tell you what i think so that you can also attack me.....I think, very unfortunately, he was kidnapped, used for devious purposes, and killed probably shortly afterwards...no i can't explain all of the rumor and conjectur that has gone on over the years, but one thing i do know, he's never been found, or come forward to the public or police, or ever had a job (you now need a SS number for bank accounts, jobs), never had a driver's license (see SS number), etc...it would be very hard to function at all and either survive or not have to come "out" at some point....oh yes, of course unless you are living on an Indian reservation (wait, another rumor). No, unfortunately he was probably buried somewhere in Iowa many years ago....my opinion only!
