Found Deceased OK - Mark Chastain - Billy Chastain - Mike Sparks - Alex Stevens - Left A Home on Bicycles - Okmulgee *arrest* #2

[Knox]

Exactly my thoughts. If they had sufficient evidence to charge murder, they would have done so. The murder weapon is likely buried or in a river somewhere between Oklahoma and Florida ..... and will never be found.

I think there is going to be plenty of evidence in this case.

Person of interest in Okmulgee quadruple murder transferred to Okmulgee County

A person of interest in an Okmulgee murder investigation has been transferred to the Okmulgee County Detention Center, according to the Okmulgee County Detention Center website.

www.fox23.com

OKMULGEE, Okla. — A person of interest in an Okmulgee murder investigation has been transferred to the Okmulgee County Jail, according to the Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office.

Joe Kennedy is currently in the Okmulgee County Jail for violating the terms of his probation on an assault and battery charge from 2012.

 

[5W's]

I wonder if he's challenged anything brought up in the probable cause? I haven't seen anything. That would be interesting to know what if any he has.

Person of interest in Okmulgee murders brought to Oklahoma jail on unrelated charges

Joseph Kennedy, a person of interest in the quadruple murder of four Okmulgee men, was extradited to an Oklahoma jail Saturday

[…]

… The Okmulgee police chief said Kennedy is not a suspect in the case at this time, but rather a person of interest.

Oh yeah I forgot about the unrelated charges from prior, that's why he's in custody. He is a POI at this time. My other posts were kindo of implying this here but before I knew he was transferred to Oklahoma. So in fact not too much has changed mostly he's been transferred to Oklahoma, that's the extent of it.

 

[NewMommy09]

Just noting for anyone not in Oklahoma, Moore is about 2 hours drive away from Okmulgee, near OKC. So JP is not being housed in Okmulgee. Also, I saw another poster wonder about this on this thread, and I have also wondered...
Maybe, just maybe the recent nationwide catalytic converter arrest operation which included many arrests in small towns in Oklahoma, netted information from JP or from this quadruple murder investigation? I can't rule it out, far fetched though it may seem.

 

[FrostedGlass]

I'm not familiar with OK court system. This is what I see for the case from 2012. If I'm understanding this correctly, he was sentenced to 10 years deferred (similar to probation in Indiana?), with 2 years supervision.

He didn't serve any time at all? So now, will he have to go to prison for 10 years or will the judge decide something else?

05/15/2013	COURT MINUTE PLEA: CT 1: 10 YRS DEFERRED CT 2: 10	$1,000.00
	YRS DEFERRED $250 PSI FEE: TO RUN CC: 2 YRS DA SUPERVISION	$250.00

I misread your question, MOO, the judge cannot change the sentencing terms of the plea agreement that was negotiated and accepted by the prosecution and defendant. His possible defense would be to claim he did not violate the terms of supervision or was under extreme duress. MOO

 

[FrostedGlass]

His deferred sentence was dependent on him keeping to the terms of probation/supervision. Once he has violated the terms, the sentence is imposed.

I bet he's wishing he would have stayed home and had a beer, or something, that night.

It really depends on the judge. He won’t necessarily have 10 years, if he wasn’t involved in the murders they may just extend his probation by a couple of years. The judge will likely take into consideration how he’s done on probation the last 9.5 years and ask for a report from his probation agent.

IDK maybe these 4 men saw something they shouldn't have like someone stealing catalytic convertors and the person/s doing the stealing knew what was going down with the police raids and investigations into that ring and didn't want to go to jail

DHS announced that 13 defendants have been arrested in Oklahoma Wednesday in connection to an organized catalytic converter theft ring.

Maybe Kennedy did too and that’s why he ran…just speculation.MOO. Perhaps he ran out of fear for his life.

Probably--I'm guessing here--the bodies were weighted somehow, and the water was deep enough to hide them until decomposition progressed to the point where the bodies rose to the surface.

I thought the same, but LE said the remains were not weighted down. However, I think the remains did sink and resurface after a certain stage of decomposition set in.

Thanks for posting that link. Unlike Indiana courts, the motions in this OK case are all viewable. I don't know what to make of the wrongful death case by MG.

I know the pawn shop gun issue was later cleared up but one would think the atty would have checked that out prior to including it in the affidavit. It's interesting that the wife said the gun belonged to her and it was in the possession of her deceased husband at the time that he was killed by Joseph Kennedy. How would she even know that? Can we conclude that he did have a gun in his possession which is now missing?

The above is in the Affidavit of Robert V. Seacat

Great find @FrostedGlass. I don’t know what "Hearing Date Reheard" means either. The $10 million bond should deter any chance of being released any time soon. Does ORDER SEALING AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO INCREASE BOND mean the public won’t hear any more about the case until trial? I wonder if they’re building a larger case against others possibly involved in some way? All this my personal questions based on not knowing.

I would guess that the order to seal the bond affidavit means that we won't see that particular motion but we should still hear about the trial. I've never seen that particular wording in the Indiana cases I've followed. Your guess as to what it could mean is as good as any guess I can make.

I realize this was filed on Nov 7, but can the statements be ammended afterwards? IMO this lawsuit may be to hold assets of the Kennedys from being liquidated by them as the investigation takes its course?
