Violent Drama in the Neighborhood- (Update.)

KenK/84Bravo
My Buddy had commented to me yesterday, that he had seen a "weird couple," walking down our 7 mile turn around at the end, same way out Mountain Holler road.

(I did'nt think a whole lot about it.) When I got off work a little bit ago, I had seen my Buddy had called. Called him back. He relayed, "make sure you have your carry piece ready to go, and your head on a swivel.

The "couple," was actually an abducted Female who was raped. She managed to break away, and ended up at one of my next door neighbors. The Sheriffs department has been all over our road all day long. In fact when I pulled into my driveway and was getting out of my car, two Sherriff's cars went right past my driveway. (Turn off from the small paved twisty main road, a very rural twisty Mountain gravel road. ) keep going about 4 houses that way, and it turns in to a 8500 acre ATV/etc "Recreational Area."

If the Guy was smart, he kept going up that way. I have been about 15 miles up into it in my Jeep before. (Goat trail.) Got too narrow to proceed and found a place to turn around.


Guy is still on the loose. Checked my outbuildings, locked them and my vehicles up. Alert.

    if he brought her to your neck of the woods that probably was his plan. if it wasn't it is now because he knows enough about the area for some idea of where to get lost. with the cops searching the area he might get desperate so houses are at risk. if I were you I would be better safe than sorry. until he gets caught fully anticipate a break-in or home invasion.

    My Pit, (Buddy) and I are on High Alert.

    If he breaks in to this house, he is Really Stupid. :o






    I hear you though, pretty much my thoughts as well.

    Might be a good time for some extended target practice from the porch.

    A vet visit and itemized report and Bill that describes the "incident" makes for the foundation of a forensic ephemera footprint should the need arrive...

    I have deployed wireless security AV pods at key points around the property (they blend well) - I also have set up several dummy cameras (obvious visual footprint including red light) sourced from target and wal mart

    I have several game cameras that I should probably set up to monitor key locations

    Better safe than sorry - layered defenses - revetments and trenches - pre positioned TO&E caches - commo bunker - set up a defilade...

    Living rurally has always scared me a bit. When we moved here there wasn't too much (as far as we knew) crime. But with the opioids and meth growing, I'm getting a bit concerned. We're out of town and off the beaten path.

    My first house in Tenn. was the same thing. Middle of old farm country. Last house before the big fields and woods.
    It was almost always true, if a stranger was on my road, he was up to no good.
    The Colt Officer's model .45 got more "holster time" in 8 years I had that house, than 15 years before. ;)

    Spoke to my neighbor/Buddy when I got home. Still have not caught him. I did learn that the backpack and duffle bag he had, were deposited at the end of my driveway.


    It's cold and rainy out, (all day today.) I can only hope he is soaking wet, and shivering.

    I read about this in a John Sandford novel. The perpetrator holed up in an outbuilding and waited until Friday night when everyone went to bed. Then he broke into a man's house, murdered him, then stole his truck, his FN pistol and his pit bull.
    Detective Lucas Davenport caught up with him at a Taco Bell. After an intense gun fight, the perpetrator was killed and Lucas adopted the dog. After gorging themselves on $.99 tacos, he and the dog returned to Minnesota, where they retired and bought a KFC franchise.

    Town Sheriff lives on the same dirt road my property is on, I think most crooks in the area know that and avoid the area like the plague :)

    Has been a fair amount of shooting going on in the Neighborhood last couple days. Pretty sure he is aware, most people around here are armed/prepared.

    If he is smart, he is not around our neighborhood any longer. I would have thought he would have taken trails back up in to Mountains. (Yet) His backpack and duffle bag were found at the end of my driveway. (Not even hidden.) Unless it was a ruse.

    There are quite a few places he could be holed up here though. Summer/vacation houses, unoccupied dwellings, etc.

    I hope they catch the Bassturd.

    I do not know about that, but I am pretty sure I know where he was with the girl. About a 1/4 mi. beyond my house continuing up the narrow gravel road, there is a place where the guy was put in to assisted living by his daughter, a year or two ago. That place is unoccupied. It is also the closest place to my neighbors house, where the girl escaped to.

    why would he ditch his backpack at the end of your driveway?? there's something to that. maybe

    a) the cops were hot on his trail and he had to save weight for running, which doesn't seem to be the case
    b) it was hidden and he was planning to come back for it later
    c) he really didn't need it
    d) he didn't want it associated with him if he got picked up, so he could deny something

    What I do not understand, is that there are woods everywhere, (where he could have hidden it.)

    Why leave it at the end of my driveway in plain sight?

    Maybe to leave a false trail that he was headed back out to the main road? If he was smart/thinking, he should have reversed direction and hit the numerous network of trails running up in to the Moutains. (Branch off in all directions.)

    Still not caught, last I've heard.

    maybe it was a trap. he leaves it at the end of your driveway, you go ?? what's this? walk up to look at it, he jumps out of the bushes with a gun and now you have a guest in your house for a while.

    End of my driveway is probably (at least 300'-350' from my front door.) It's a ways. It is on a fairly sharp curve, where you are not seen from either direction. Woods all around. We are very rural.

    There are a lot easier marks in this area than me. Pretty aware of my surroundings.

    After I had heard what was going on, I was/have been pretty alert.

    I hear you, darn bears and coons are always vandalizing my bird feeders. The bears have stolen my finch feeders so many times I quit buying them.
    Probably 15% of the people in this county leave their keys in their vehicle 24/7, and in the 22 years I've lived here there's been one maybe two cars stolen.

    I hear you Brother. Living in a City/Urban area scared me. (Due to increased risk of Violence.)

    Living out here in the Country, Not so much.

    Times, they are a changin... I grew up in a factory city. Front door was always unlocked and the vehicle was street parked with the keys. CAN'T do that there now.

    Here - the weekly newspaper lists more and more arrests in and around town. It can't be too much longer before the meth heads discover new targets.

    I carry and have firearms all over the house. Not out of paranoia - just in case...

    84, if this guy is holding you hostage, stay calm. Signal by typing iloveremoaks three times, quickly. We'll send help immediately. Well, maybe not immediately but in the morning. Probably after breakfast.

    I wouldn't have it any other way...I live on the side of a mountain, one way in, one way out...only ten properties up here, i know every car that is supposed to be coming up here. It's steep and desolate enough that folks don't just venture u[p here for pleasure cruises, and most meth heads are way to lazy to venture up here. I've never had any knock on my door in 11 years. (other than UPS/Fed ex). If it's up to me i will never live in suburbia again.
