He is asking if anyone knows where Mr. Kennedy is or anything about the murders.

Joe Kennedy is POI, has been interviewed once but he has been missing since Saturday.

 

[LauraAnne]

How awful, but completely expected except for the dismemberment part.

Prayers for the grieving families.

 

[Peppery]

All 4 were planning to commit a crime, 5th person was invited to participate but declined

‘A very violent event;’ Okmulgee police chief confirms missing men were murdered

Chief Joe Prentice with the Okmulgee Police Department confirms that the bodies of four missing men have been pulled from the Deep Fork River.

www.fox23.com

From link: Joe Kennedy, an owner of a nearby salvage yard, is considered a person of interest. He is missing and is considered suicidal. He is not considered a suspect at this time.

Kennedy is believed to be driving a Chrysler with Oklahoma plate number LSA245.

Dont you know he is thankful that he did (and probably having some guilt that he was the only one alive still).

The thing with that is though there are only two slavage yards. Where would they get the scrap metal from? Plus the yards were closed. If they got from one then they would have to take it to the other. Unless they are going to go far away and take the srap there. I just don't hink this would be.

I think they had been 'collecting' the scrap metal for awhile and were planning to sell or trade it in that evening. The yards were closed but the same owner for both. So maybe the owner was meeting them there to buy or trade for the product they had?

How horrible.

I wonder if JK's family reported him missing? Or did LE find out he was missing when they identified him as a person of interest & went to talk with him?

MOO.

 

[Peppery]

Can anyone find SM or info on Joe Kennedy?

From presser:
-JK is POI, not suspect
-LE has interviewed him once on Friday, 10/14
-Would like to interview JK again but he was reported missing on Saturday 10/15
-JK owned both salvage yards
-LE is declining to release JK photo “unless and until” he is named a suspect
-JK is believed to be suicidal (huge red flag IMO)

Moo.. dismembering 4 grown men...that would be alot of work...and messy too. Kinda pointless also since all men were dumped in same place. I guess it was done for ease of transport..probably 800 to 1000lb.....moo

 

[charminglane]

That will be one messy crime scene when found.
