I used to live in Carmel, IN. Anyone from up there? Is it still a cool place to live?

 

[KatK]

:furious: So, she woke up and confronted him while he was robbing the place and he killed her, eh? :behindbar

Sad, if that is his page. It seems he has a child? Am I mistaken, or are the colors on that page Blood gang colors? They wear the colors of blood, not just red, but also brown, orange and the like. (Pink for the girls.)

 

[Taximom]

Wow, good catch with the gang colors. I wouldn't know if they are or not though.

Most of his pictures are of him and others high, drunk or both. (That's what the captions indicate anyway.) Did you see the one with the real little girls? Those always scare me because you wonder what else might be happening.

Where the heck are his parents?! I wonder why he's travelling between States? Indiana, Michigan....

I bet he and maybe some of his posse are responsible for many other crimes in those States.

I'm so sorry for Chelsea and her family.

*goes back to look over that slideshow again* What a willful waste of a life! I can't feel too sorry for him in a way, yet I can, sort of. He fell into that trap early enough he got firmly enmeshed and doesn't see any way out. Still, he chose the path of least resistance.

 

[Indy Gal]

Wow you guys nice work. I go to work for one day and this is what I get! TY!!!

Too bad we dont like to use DP here. This would be a great time IMO

ETA When was Carmel good??? LOLOLOLOL

 

[Taximom]

Indy, you went to work? I thought you took today off? I'm evil, I know. :blowkiss:

How close is Columbus, IN to Detroit, MI? I could googlemap that but my pc is going so slow right now. How is he getting back and forth, and why? Family in both areas?

Thanks in advance for the location info.

 

[Taximom]

Poco's cat sure gets around. lol

Just heard a clip on tonights 10:00 news that Twenty-year-old Demetrick Shepherd confessed.
ALso something about him comming into the apartment to look for keys to steal a car. Chelsea was sleeping on the couch and woke up and he went into the kitchen, got a knife, and stabbed her several times in the neck. Then he left and it seems he has stated that he came back to the apartment and she was still alive, barely I guess, and then he left again.
I will post a link as soon as they update their website.

found a link.

Thanks for the info, Indy Gal and shdbepaintin.

What a horrible creature he is.

 

[Indy Gal]

Why could this have happened in Texas?? It sucks that Indiana hates to use the DP. This boy deserves it IMO

 

[Taximom]

I didn't know IN doesn't have the DP. So Edwin Hall....?

 

[KatK]

I didn't know IN doesn't have the DP. So Edwin Hall....?

Er, he commited crimes in Kansas and Missouri?

 

[Indy Gal]

I didn't know IN doesn't have the DP. So Edwin Hall....?

No No we have it we just dont use it!!!

Thanks for the links, Indy Gal. How sad for Chelsea's family.

On one of those links I found this as another headline:
Babysitter's boyfriend arrested following toddler's death
We just had two of these types of crimes locally.

I could start so many threads just by reading my local paper. It is so sad how this city has become.
