11/01/2013 File Preliminary Purge

The Judge who authorized the purge is Randolph Lee Garrison of the Douglas County Court system.

I don't know where to start with this. But wanted to thank you for putting this out on the web. I was born and raised in the Roseburg, Oregon area. My Mom sent my older brother to "Cowboy Chip's Kindergarten" as she called it. (Cowboy Chip was another name for Edward Jerome Gallup, Jr. He wore a cowboy hat and was the "teacher" at this kindergarten/childcare center in Winston, OR) The center was located just a short walk from my Grandparents house which was on Grape Street. (Actual address of center: 200 Suksdorf St. I believe it's now apartments.)

My twin brother and I also attended there because our birthdays required that we couldn't start grade school. So we had to endure the nightmare of "Cowboy Chip's."

I don't want to go into detail. I do know that Cowboy Chip's Dad and Mom and other individuals were at this center on occasion. There is also a very vivid memory when we went to their family ranch to "ride horses".

For years I only had the name "Cowboy Chip" to go on. A few years back I came across websites and online information here and other places that helped me put a real name to the persons involved.

I also know that Cowboy Chip is living out his life in Tennessee. I wonder how many people's lives were affected in places which he has moved?

I have tried to get articles about this from the local paper, The News Review, but they directed me to microfilm at the public library in Roseburg. Living in another state, I don't have access to those archives.

I just wonder why there hasn't been a follow up story to this case locally? How many lives have been affected by these sick individuals? The ripple effect of abuse can be widespread. (When trauma isn't properly processed then we medicate in different ways.) I also find it interesting as a teen that Judge Laswell tried me in court for crimes. I had no clue that he had tried our abusers. I wonder how many kids that were abused by the Gallups appeared in Laswell's court through the years? I'm not blaming my delinquent years on anybody but myself, but there were trigger events that would happen and intense anger was the result. Many memories were buried but later resurfaced.

I have been digging into this case as much as I can but there hasn't really been a lot to go on. Thank you for looking into this. Any further information that you find as sleuths would be helpful.

I have been researching this case, and have requested the court records. Yes, there are also other kids who did not come forward at the time. I'm trying to get in touch with them to see if they'll share their stories.

<modsnip>

My twin brother and I attended this daycare. My older brother attended before we did. We are trying to gather more information. I did gather that Edward Jerome Gallup, Jr. is living in TN. He is on the sex offender database there. Any information about this would be much appreciated.

Edit: Laswell was the prosecuting attorney of the Gallup Case, not the judge. Just wanted to clarify that. I had misread the info on this case and thought he was the judge, not the prosecuting attorney.

I realized I was looking at the wrong address. The daycare was off of Suksdorf. Even though part of it faces Darrell Ave, it's apartments that are 181, 183, 185, 187, Baker St. The main entrance is what is now labeled 187 Baker St and can be seen on Google Street View.

Hi. My name is Ali. I went to the Winston branch when I was a teeny tiny toddler. I don’t remember much, but the defense did use me as witness. During nap time I was kept in a separate room away from ANYONE ELSE, and developed a debilitating fear of the dark. I had no memory or advise at the time, not do I not, other than being locked away. I started this journey of knowledge after a long time of therapy. I’m out here too just try to get more details.

Hi Ali, I’m so sorry you were enrolled there. I was as well. If you want to chat let me know.

All he says is nothing happened to him ..did anything happen to you? !! I've always had a very serious issue with animal sensitivity...and have flashbacks and memories of my rabbit .. Cindy lopper... Anyhow prolly should just do whatever it takes to drown out anyt this again it's crazy anyway... but older I become the more I.. remember

He also did things out at his "ranch" which was in the Melrose area. He took some of us out there to "ride horses."

 

[marionmiller]

This is my "kindergarten" picture that "Cowboy Chip" (Edward Jerome Gallup Jr) had taken in October of 1986. 100+ kids came forward but my 2 brothers and I and many others didn't. I remember a sense of relief and wanting to just get out of that horrible place when I "graduated". (See pic with cap) I found records indicating that "Cowboy Chip" had been arrested in 1983 for a sex crime. Why was he allowed to run a daycare until 1987??? The 80s were a messed up time.

I was almost 6 when this was taken. My brother and I are identical twins. All my family still live in Oregon. Most live in the Roseburg/Winston area.

My twin brother and I went to the Winston daycare during the 1986-87 school year.

I think it's important to process this. My brothers and I grew up in a lot of dysfunction and abuse. I think, in that scenario, one was just trying to get through it. The mind classifies memories as useful or not useful. Non useful memories are tucked away. I have also realized that the mind tries to protect you until it's safe or you're able to process the memories. Logically, can a child safely process memories of events or abuse that they don't even fully understand? Or even a teenager? I would say that's why people come forward much later in their adulthood. I believe the statute of limitations on child sexual abuse should be lifted. I can only imagine how many are just now processing this. Especially when hundreds of kids have been abused.

Guys--I've got a question. I know of another sex abuse case with hundreds of allegations which literally "fell off the face of the earth". It's the Roseberg, OR Gallup Christian Day Care case of the late 80s. This occurred less than ten years before our case and less than 100 miles away. No one in the judicial system in our county remembers this case although many know of this judge and worked here at the time. Here's a recent email I sent to our DA:

I've been looking into this case and not pleased with what I'm finding. I can hardly believe that I'd never heard of this case, given all the research I've done. I don't find any listing for these men on Vinelink but do find a telephone/address listing in Roseburg for them. Were they released? Did the children recant? What happened? Surely, somebody in your office must remember this case:

This is from a 2009 article about a retiring Douglas county judge, Judge Bill Lasswell, who tried the case:

http://www.nrtoday.com/article/20090301/NEWS/902289974


"Certain tragic cases have left their mark on the judge.

A story that recently came to Lasswell&#8217;s mind involved a peculiar meeting back when he was district attorney. On an autumn afternoon in his darkening office in the courthouse, two strangers asked to speak with him and tape the conversation. The pair wanted to talk to Lasswell about child witnesses. Apparently, they wanted to persuade the district attorney that children were unreliable, not to be trusted. At the time, Lasswell wasn&#8217;t sure what to make of the encounter.

A few months later, the mystery was revealed as Lasswell&#8217;s office began to prosecute the shocking and nationally followed child sexual abuse cases against Edward and Mary Lou Gallup and their son, who ran local child care centers together.

Lasswell, a father of three, said it was the most traumatic case he&#8217;s been involved with.

&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to be anywhere near them ever again,&#8221; he said."

[ETA: This is almost word for word what our judge said about our case on the day of our children's rapist's convictions]

And this:

http://www.endritualabuse.org/ritualabusearchive.htm

"August 28, 1991, STATE OF OREGON v. MARY LOU GALLUP, COURT OF APPEALS OF OREGON, 816 P2d. 669, 1991 Ore. App. LEXIS 1266, Conviction Remanded // September 6, 1989, STATE OF OREGON v. EDWARD J. GALLUP, SR., 779 P.2d 169, Conviction for Sodomy Affirmed

Overview: Appellate documents state Mary Lou Gallup sought reversal of her conviction for sexual abuse in the first degree. The Appeals Court found error in the local courts ruling that material contained in the District Attorney file was work produced, and exempt from discovery, which resulted in her conviction being vacated.

Mary Lou Gallup operated a private kindergarten in Roseburg, Oregon, called the Gallup Christian Daycare center. Her husband, Edward J. Gallup, an ex-minister of the Nazarene church, operated a separate preschool in that same vicinity. Their son, Edward (Chip) J. Gallup, operated a preschool in Winston, Oregon.

In 1987 defendant Ed Gallup Sr. was indicted for sexually assaulting a young boy who was a student as his preschool, and his son, Chip, was ultimately indicted on six separate charges for sexually assaulting six other preschool students. Chip Gallup was ultimately found guilty of three charges....."

and this:

BTV168: Slot Gacor Setiap Hari Tanpa Modal Besar Gampang Menang

"The Gallup family consists of Ed Gallup Sr., Mary Lou Gallup and son, Ed "Chip" Gallup. Jr. They are fundamentalist Christians who operated three Gallup Christian Day Care Centers in Roseburg OR. They were charged and convicted on multiple counts of improper sexual activity with children. Over 100 children disclosed stories of ritual child abuse and sexual molestation. Included were many activities found in other Satanic ritual abuse cases: the killing of animals, posing for pornographic pictures, ritual sexual abuse by robed adults....."

and

"All three were found guilty in separate trials. A change of venue was obtained for the fourth trial. this probably contributed to an acquittal. Mary's conviction was overturned on a technicality. Some sources say that Ed Gallup Sr. and Chip Gallup both remain in jail. Others say that Ed Gallup Sr. has been released...."

Later developments:

In 1992, Cavalcade Productions in Ukiah CA released a movie titled "Children at Risk: Ritual Abuse in America." It included allegations of ritual abuse of children in Roseburg OR. Mike Farrell (B.J.) of M.A.S.H. fame was the narrator.


Do people think that no one is ever going to ask questions? What happened to the court records? Where's the paper trail? What happened to the alleged victims? I just sit here and wonder. Surely the way this case was handled MUST have informed our judge. Surely, someone knows the whole story. Why can't we get to the bottom of these stories? Wouldn't there be some sort of record of a dismissal, a recantation?

Aren't there other parents like me who believe that their cases are actually bigger? Or "alleged" victims who did NOT get justice? And if someone were truly wrongly accused, why wouldn't there be easily located information concerning a travesty like that?

Missizzy-I have direct personal knowledge of this case as my dad was a lawyer in Douglas County at the time and I attended the daycare ages 5-6. No one will ever get anywhere prosecuting these cases UNTIL they start treating them like mafia cases, which is what they in essence are. The mafia trafficks the and protects the guilty who are involved directly with the children. Pervasive corruption in all levels of the criminal justice system, fueled by fear, allows it to continue. They can be brought to justice but it takes wisdom, determination, discernment, discretion, and nerves of steel. Faith in the God of the Bible is the real nail in their racketeering coffin.
