VA - Johnny Cashman Jr., 38, death investigation, Lynchburg, Apr 2022

[NeverPersonal]

this case is HORRENDOUS. i consider myself well-calloused to many true crime stories at this point but listening to this man cry for help before he died horribly absolutely wrecked me.

Following....this is the first I've heard about this case, local to me. Suggestion to family: contact local talk radio station WLNI--they may feature Johnny's story. They would be a great tool for publicizing it and getting the word out to the community. Praying real answers will come soon, something odd definitely happened to this man!

@MysteryMisfits4Truth , have you contacted this radio station? Sounds like a good way to inform people, maybe generate tips or maybe public pressure in the right places?

jmho ymmv lrr

Going West Podcast just covered this case. I legit cannot see how ANYONE can listen to the audio and think that Johnny was not murdered. He literally hear the entire attack/confrontation.

Anyone have any idea what kind of homicide could cause excessive vomiting, defecation, and blood loss? Perhaps Johnny was forced to ingest poison?

I wondered if he could have been injected with something but would they automatically look for something like a pinprick during autopsy?

Oh wait, but I guess tox would have shown something I would think if that were the case. Nevermind me!

I hate to say this but he could've been assaulted with an object sexually.

It's early here, so sorry if I'm remembering this case incorrectly, but I believe this was the case where LE claimed natural causes, with no autopsy/tox screen being performed and the family cremating the remains.

That may explain the blood loss and defecation, but do think vomiting might also be symptom of such trauma?

I definitely do.

Haven't been able to locate any recent updates. Curious if Johnny's family is progressing in search of more answers. Seems so unfair for Johnny's family since they were not given correct info at the beginning. MOO

Unfortunately, the case is closed. Imo, it should be reopened. moo
