Skyla Whitaker, 11, & Taylor Placker 13 - Found Murdered - #6

[RoseRed]

Clearly - you've never visited the Nicholas Francisco board! LOL

Yes and I'm mad about that board. I went on vacation, came back and now I can't go to that board. What happened ? I know I didn't do anything wrong as I was gone 4 days, came back can't get to board. I am so really mad.

Thanks for the welcome Leila

Wow- as far as the shooting involving Edward Gordon did anyone realize the victim died from a single gunshot wound to the CALF!

And I went back and checked and one suspect had his charges dropped.

Would these guys be able to ID ?

Perhaps one of their relatives or workers stealing diesel or other fuel and selling it. I figure that is something that is a big theft nowadays. I hear that thieves are even cutting holes in people's fuel tanks from the bottom and draining gas out. I can imagine diesel would be even more sought after.

True, I was thinking more along the lines of the truck taking diesel and perpaps the was there the same day?

I found this post in another forum about you guys. I thought you would enjoy reading what others are saying about you's.

Not a bad thought, so how did Roy take advantage of his daughters kindness and how does that come into play here?

BTW, the business is in Henryetta and that's where Skyla was from right?

 

[Amster]

whew....finally caught up!

I wonder....if the Gordon connection could be the family of the dead guy getting revenge? Instead of an eye for an eye....a death for a death?

And....the 911 call. Maybe grandpa had an idea who the perps were and named them on the 911 call. Perhaps he named the "they" he said to Skylas mom? So, LE won't release it.

My ramblings for the evening.

Has this been found/posted already? I didn't see it, if it has.

This guy's age matches articles, and these records are from Oklahoma.

Yeah, like that freak whom took Ben Owmby, the witness description of the vehicle was precise (Go Mitch Hults!), yet he had it parked out in the open and was using it.

I followed the Shawn Hornbeck/Ben Ownby case closely, and their abductor, Michael Devlin, made it easy to be discovered. I agree........Mitch Hults has a lot to be proud of - without his astute observation of the vehicle in which Ben was kidnapped, Devlin may have gotten away with one more child abduction.

Forgive me if I am repeating this question, but are the F.B.I. involved in this case? I would feel better about this crime being solved if the F.B.I. were involved instead of small town police only.

I do not know that it is relevant but charges were dropped one one person who was originally charged.

The Kansas Attorney General's office has dropped the charges filed against one of the four men originally charged in the murder of former Pittsburg State basketball standout Jamey Richardson.
Geoffrey Haynes was released from custody on Monday after the state filed a motion to dismiss all charges against the Galena native.
The three remaining suspects, Aaron Graham of Pittsburg, Edward Gordon of Baxter Springs and Samuel Becker of rural Cherokee County all made their first appearance in the Cherokee County District Court on Wednesday, Feb. 14.

Especially since everyone involved in the Gordon related cases are behind bars...or I assume they are since I haven't read anything so far indicating the remaining two defendents were allowed to post bail. They would have had to hired someone from the outside to do their dirty work.

Thanks for the info PoorPaula!

Since we aren't supposed to post a link to another forum. Can you copy and paste that exact post here? TIA.

The only other thing I could come up with is Kim had a sibling Harold "Doogie" Getman Jr born in 1950 that died in 1986 he was married and ahd a child. Also have the parents infor for Kim Douglas but do not know if it is relevant and needs posted so leaving that out.

I'm a genealogist and have done a bit of digging on the Getman surname in Missouri, as it appears that's where Skyla's biological parents were from. What I've got so far is that Kim Douglas Getman is about 48 years old and apparently has been married three times.

YW.

Hey, I also found a blog mentioning where Skyla's mom works, but what's weird is it says both the girls' moms work there. I wasn't sure if I should post that. And I don't think it's Granny and Mom, it said both moms.

Thanks! I did see that and did not word my post correctly. It should have said "anyone still involved in the Gordon related case"

Few signs of progress in inquiry into girls' deaths

Staff WriterAfter 10 days of investigation, there were still no clear suspects or motive revealed for the death of two girls found shot to death on the side of an Okfuskee County road.

Interesting. It may be that the families had more connections than just Taylor and Skyla being bestfriends and going to the same school. Of course that wouldn't be unusual in a small community. Do you feel comfortable stating what type of business and what City it's in?
