CHEHALIS – The sheriff’s office says it arrested two of the main narcotics distributors in East Lewis County yesterday, and one of them is Denise R. Salts – the woman who was shot in the face when her boyfriend and two others were slain last August.

Salts, 52, of Glenoma, was arrested for delivery of methamphetamine after sheriff’s deputies and their SWAT team served a search warrant yesterday, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Also arrested for the same offense was Venus D. Hamilton, 47, of Morton, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said today.

Brown said members of the Lewis County Narcotics Task Force conducted several undercover drug buy operations during May and June in East Lewis County.

Salts was the lone survivor when in the night on August 21, her live-in boyfriend David J. West Sr., his 16-year-old son and a friend from Mineral were fatally shot inside a Salkum-Onalaska area home off of Gore Road.

John Allen Booth Jr. is charged with her attempted murder, murder, attempted extortion and unlawful possession of a firearm. His trial is scheduled for August. His former cell mate Ryan J. McCarthy, 29, is also charged in the case.

Brown didn’t say when or where the arrests were made yesterday.

She did say both individuals were taken into custody without incident and booked into the Lewis County Jail.

Hamilton is shown as being booked at 3:21 p.m. yesterday and Salts was booked at 12:49 a.m. today, according to the jail roster.

Also yesterday in East Lewis County, a 48-year-old Randle man was arrested at his home following undercover purchases of marijuana made during June, Brown said.

At about 5 p.m., deputies searched David E. Bellamy’s residence on the 200 block of Skinner Road and turned up almost 42 grams of suspected marijuana, scales and what Brown called a ledger.

When Bellamy arrived home just after 6:30 p.m., he was taken into custody without incident, she said. He was booked for three counts of delivery of marijuana, according to Brown.

CORRECTION:  David J. West Sr.’s name was corrected to reflect he is the senior West, not junior.

    I sat here reading all of VHamilton’s comments and started laughing. What a total waste of skin. Her brain is totally gone and to where I do not know. Guess her good drugs did that too her. Get a clue Venus!! EVERYBODY knows you use drugs and always have. You were taught well as EVERYBODY knows.

  2. Really? says:

    And futher more if you don’t use, or deal drugs, lie, and steal and disobey the law, why in the hell do you need to know your RCW’s..I’ve never needed them. VHamilton, its sad you seem like an educated woman, wasting your God givin talents in a useless manner. Seems to me as educated as you appear to be that I seem to see your press photo not on the well educated side of the court room. or the law.

  3. Really? says:

    VHamilton..Maybe on your behalf it should have read “Biggest drug Users” ? Its not like its a major secret.

  4. VHamilton says:

    Very right you are Kpalmese.
    I think that the only one at this here sirens comment page that is “triing not” to Judge anyone is George.
    and Star, no one was selling anything, no one has been convicted, only accused. Accused, because a lower life form was not human enough to take the trouble they were facing. As I said in a earlier comment:
    “There is no Justice served in “any” case when Law enforcement over look one crime of one person, just to intrap another, that they have already profiled.” Guilt by association is a form of profiling. and That I’m afraid, is what they base most of thier info on.
    Its too bad really. Because its real hard to work with the public when your too busy worrying about thier friends, nieghbors, and aquaintances.
    Just because a friend has habits, doesnt mean you do! Just because your nieghbor has a garden, doesnt mean you have too! Just because you speak to someone in public, (an aquaintance), doesnt mean you know what they do/or have done!
    Caution is one thing
    Paranoia is a whole bigger problem.
    Law enforcement creates mass paranoia, then they watch people go……..THE WORST TWEEKER IS A STAIGHT TWEEKER.
    This community and surrounding area is in a sad, sad state of being controled.
    Example: Trooper Mcknight, shooting that man in Napavine………….”WTF” ARE BELLY CLUBS FOR, AND DO THEY NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A TAZER. i BELIEVE THAT 15 TO 20 FEET AWAY A TAZER HITS ITS TARGET. EVER HEAR OF KNEE CAPS, IM THINKIN THAT, THAT WOULD HAVE STOPPED THAT MAN. “WOW” IF NO ONE FINDS THE OUT A LINE, PARANOIA, OR JUST PLAIN ANGRY STRESSED OFFICER WITH THIS WHOLE INCIDENT, THEN THERE IS A BIGGER, BIGGER PROBLEM THEN I THINK. CUZ THERE IS NOTHING FRIENDLY ABOUT FRIENDLY FIRE AND ITS NOT OK.

  5. KPALMESE says:

    Yeah i am a ticking time bomb.Esc. when it comes to people like you.For one you are in no position to tell me that i am a waste of time you don’t even f—–ing know me .I’m sure in the hell glad that i don’t even know you i would be ashamed.

  6. star says:

    yah they shouldnt be sellin the shit anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. George says:

    Yes we will, Sarah.

  8. Sarah says:

    My mom goes to court and we will see what happens.

  9. storm says:

    Listen people a Rat is a Rat….. Linda M rat belongs in traps……. Denise is just trying to get on with her life……Shannon you still need to learn too use a shovel………….Storm

  10. George says:

    Janet, I AM unbiased in this case (and in most cases), wishing to see the facts as presented BY BOTH SIDES in order to make my judgement. If the case has already been judged, then one pretty much has to deal with that. This case has not been judged yet, at least not by me. I’m waiting to see what becomes of it…

    And hopefully the government (law enforcement, prosecuting attorneys, etc…) are indeed being fair. As it stands right now, well, the evidence points in one direction, but there may just possibly be something that we aren’t being told that changes everything….

    And you ARE correct, in that if the government gets it in their mind to put someone away (or to do anything…), unless you speak up, they won’t listen. If you DO speak up and they STILL don’t listen, then the only thing that CAN be done is to remove those officials who will not listen… either through elections, or through revolution.

    Unless you just let government grow and grow, at which point you have lost, no matter what.

  11. Janet Trine says:

    George, you seem to be very un-biased, and posess alot of common sense. I agree with you, but, I hope that the government is using fair play in their actions. Otherwise, none of what anyone has to say will matter. Just like I basically was stating earlier to Sarah. And also like I said, if theyre not, whats anyone gonna be able to do about it? Good luck trying!

  12. VHamilton says:

    You read what I wrote? I said nothing about the government being on any ones side. I said that if the PEOPLE stick together, THE PEOPLE! Not the People and Government! D.ASS………….No need to name call. For real. Unless something I said hit a nerve. If so I am sorry but, I do not apologize. This world is DOWN enough as it is without people of your sort telling others “it’ll never work”

    “UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL”

    and, its MY TIME, if I want to waiste it on a BAND WAGON, I WILL. That would be none of your concern, nor worry. Thank You very much.
    Put some bitterness behind you, and route for some new blood or help with some new tactics. “UNITE, DONT DIVIDE.”

  13. Janet Trine says:

    KPALMESE…You sound like a freaking time bomb. I could not even make myself read all the crap you got going on here.
    Your a waste of time, I read the comments that are made by the people who make sense. You are sure not one of them.
    Why dont you just take up latchhook or something your mind can handle a little better.

  14. Janet Trine says:

    To VHamilton…Well then honey, you just stick together with your people and you fight this shit we call our local government ok? You fight for justice and for whats right!!
    Believe me, there is no yellow belly in me, I aint the one! I am down for whats right, and Ive fought, and fought, and proved my case. Not just once, not twice, and not just three different times. And I wasnt fighting for myself, I was fighting for others whose backs were against the wall, who had no one on their side!
    The facts came out, I proved what the truth was, and guess what? It didnt matter. Who ya gonna go to then? There is no one. Do you wanna know why you dumb ass? Well do some research and get off the band wagon cause your wasting precious fucking time and energy first of all!
    There is no government agency to go to that will care. They will stick up for each other, they will act as if your not there. With all your facts, your stone cold proof, with all this that you put your heart and soul into to help some poor soul who is chewed up by our fucking government, you will see no justice!!
    So Quit wasting your time on your band wagon, first of all. Second, did you even see what I wrote? Good luck to you…your a dumb shit and I can see your gonna need lots of it!

  15. THE jake dunaway says:

    i would just like to say….things are not always what they appear to be…..PERIOD!!!!! e.g. ostriches can’t fly

  16. George says:

    Yes, you also have enablers (who may also be in denial). And yes, people of all walks of life have all sorts of skeletons buried in the closets (I keep mine buried in the back yard). So not everyone is completely innocent, everyone having done something bad at one time or another.

    As for the brutal slayings in Salkum and what they have to do with this particular case, the only connections are one person who survived being executed, and drugs. Did any of those people who were killed deserve it? I’m willing to bet the answer is a resounding “NO!”, but it happened anyways. They have the suspects in jail, and their time before a jury will begin shortly. Then there is the question of drugs.

    If you go to any major city, and far too often even in small towns, drugs are becoming more and more prevalent. Just look at jail rosters, and you will see that a majority of the people are there for drugs, whether it be for use, delivery, manufacture, whatever. Lots of counties also have programs (like Lewis Co., with “Drug Court”) that try to help people get away from drugs.

    These programs, while very well intended, fail more often than they succeed. It’s not because the people are weak, but because of the stranglehold that drugs can have on people. Sure, they might complete the program and have their charges either reduced or dropped, but greater than 50% of the people who “graduate” from the program re-offend.

    Sadly, far too many people who are on drugs, or who deal drugs (or both), they have family members who are enablers. They are in denial that their loved one could be dealing or using. That is how strong drugs can be. It’s not just the users and dealers that pay for it, but it is also their family members. It is their friends. It is their associates and co-workers.

    This case has not been before a judge and jury yet for adjudication, so the people involved, while they are accused of delivering drugs, they are still innocent, as they have not been proven to be guilty. Did they, indeed, do what they are accused of? We’ll know soon enough…..

  17. VHamilton says:

    The Great Has Spoken……………..Thank You

  18. the great says:

    some got lucky some didnt some have choices and some dont for resons that may or may not be in the hand of change so dont blame and hate but be there for the ones you love and love is uncondistionall ps i dont spell well and i dont care

  19. VHamilton says:

    Janet Trine
    i believe that if and when the people stick together, they too can WIN. The problem are people like you who talk all that but when threatened or “Bribed” you turn COWARD. A Yelly-Belly. Unless you are going to stand by what you say. I say Shut-up then.
    Stand back in the shadows while they eventually take your life, and tell you when to PISS>NOT ME; THANK YOU.
    THEY HAVE ALREADY BURNED MY FAMILY OUT. THEN THE PROSECUTOR DECLINED A CHARGE OF “2 COUNTS OF FIRST DEGREE ARSON” ON THE ARSONIST. WITH EYE WITNESSES AND 6 STATEMENTS………………..WHERE IN THE FUCK IS THE JUSTICE IN THAT? IF PEOPLE STOP FIGHTING FOR WHAT THEY KNOW IS RIGHT. JUST BECAUSE OTHERS SAY WE CANT WIN. WELL THEN, WE ALL ARE ALREADY DEAD!

  20. VHamilton says:

    Thomasena,
    you obviously have no clue what so ever about the judicial system, DO YOU?
    Everyone knows, that all peoples who alledgedly break a Law, are granted a Bail. Unless the Crime is Haneous.
    So might I suggest before you embarrass yourself further, STUDY UP ON CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, WAC, and maybe an RCW or 2. Even the UNIFIED COMMERCIAL CODES are very informational.
    Then feel free to SPOUT OFF!

  21. VHamilton says:

    AND GEORGE,
    ALONG WITH DENIAL, ALSO IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOVED ONE WHO ENABLES, AND WHO INEVIDABLY DENIES IT.

  22. VHamilton says:

    SO MUCH HEAR-SAY IN THIS ALL TOO BITTER WORLD OF
    “COPS AND ROBBERS” “COPS ARE ROBBERS”
    FUNNY HOW ROLES CHANGE!
    ISN’T IT?

  23. VHamilton says:

    Hey George,
    I think too if you are proper enough to comment on some body elses punctuation you would be smart enough to take note of the time elapsed between charges, between each past charge up to now. That is a major consideration when it all comes down to it. Usually when a person falls back on something already experienced good or bad, there is or has been some sort of dramatic change, or traumatic events in thier lives that the comfort zone of the person falls back on. FOR INSTANCE DRUG USE. REMEMBER; WE ALL HAVE SKELETONS BURIED. JUST CAUSE THE ONE WITH THE SHOVEL HASN’T MADE IT TO YOUR YARD YET DOESN’T MAKE IT OKAY FOR YOU TO JUDGE. WHEN THAT SHOVEL COMES AROUND, YOU TOO WILL BE A NOBODY BUT TO POINT THE FINGER AT, WHISPER ABOUT AND RIDICULE.
    MY VERY WISE GRANDMOTHER ALWAYS SAID…”WATCH WHAT YOU SAY” or “WISH FOR” “NEVER LEAVE A LOVE ONE IN ANGER” and “CHANGE YOUR UNDERWEAR DAILY” CAUSE YOU JUST NEVER KNOW 🙂 (GOD REST HER SOUL)

  24. VHamilton says:

    You people I find humorous! Most of you are so Brain Washed by our Law Enforcement that you wont even wait to hear the other side of the story. In MY OPINION, the News Paper is also a wonderful Brain Washing Tool. Not to mention……the reporter writes what information the police departments give them to write, except when they go to court. Then they fabricate their own stories. IN MY OPINION; They ALL LIE! I too was in the court room that day for these two womans charges. AND, NOT ONE TIME DID THE JUDGE OR PRACTICING PROSECUTOR SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE TWO OF THEM BEING THIS BIGGEST DRUG DEALERS IN THE COUNTY. Why? because THAT INFORMATION COMES FROM THE POLICE FORCE. IT IS AN ASSUMPTION. ITS WHAT THEY WANT THE PUBLIC TO THINK. THEN THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIER CORRUPT POLITICS, THIER MONEY LAUNDERING, THIER EMBESSLEMENTS, AND THE PEOPLE WONT LOOK AT THIER LIVES AS CLOSELY……AND THE PEOPLE WONT QUESTION THIER JOB PERFORMANCES. Thier lazyness to perform thier own job duties has become more of a job then they bargained for. I have to then ask; wonder which Drug Addicted Informant was hasseled, for false or half assed information they used this time? and I also have to wonder as to which 4th Amendment Rights were trampled on this time?
    Really, what is right with any Law, that gives the enforcer the power to over-look one illegal act in trade for another? As a matter a fact, I believe that it is Ilegal for a Officer of the Law in any line of that field of work to watch a crime be commited. I believe that letting them walk in trade for information is also against the Law. (well I suppose its not when in thier report, the whole truth is not told). The Law Enforcers of this county have forgotten thier CODE of ETHICS. IF, there is even a Code left! Then again I forget that on the police force vehicles it NO LONGER READS………”TO PROTECT AND TO SERVE.” Washinton State and Lewis County has quickly become a Police State. The Communisum it displays and the Conduct they display should be very alarming to the people of the community. Not to mention a embarrassment, for the Community as a Whole.
    AND, What in the Hell Does The Salkum Murders have to do with this Case? NOT A F”ING THING. MORE GOSSIP FOR YOU BRAIN WASHED, BORED, THINKING YOUR ALL GOD FEARING PEOPLE TO OOH AND AWH ABOUT………..PPPPPLEEEEASE……. SAVE IT FOR YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY. AND STOP JUDGING OTHERS JUST BECAUSE YOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS SAY SO……I MEAN REALLY, WOULD YOU LET A CHILD MOLESTER BABY SIT YOUR CHILD? A BURGLAR WATCH YOUR HOUSE WHILE ON VACATION? THEN ASK YOURSELVES, HOW DID WE LET THE ONES WHO ARE MORE CORRUPT THEN SOME TRUE CRIMINALS, BE IN CHARGE OF OUR SAFETY??????? THE FIELD OF PROTECTION IS NO LONGER PART OF THAT JOB DESCRIPTION. LOOK AT IT AS “FRIENDLY FIRE” RIGHT?……….WHATEVER! EXACTLY HOW FRIENDLY IS THAT? KILLING YOUR OWN PEOPLES IN A WAR. “WHATEVER” I DON’T BUY/BYE/BY ANY OF IT. WHY WOULD YOU, WHO THINK YOU ARE SMARTER, BRIGHTER, BETTER(hahaha) LET THEM GET OVER ON YOU?
    ITS SAD BUT VERY TRUE, INTELLIGENCE COMES WITH NO COMMON SENSE. LIKE AN ITEM THAT IS $$$PRICELESS$$$ YOU THINK YOU GOT IT ALL . but try to sell that Priceless item……….IT IS USELESS! If everyone is afraid to put a price on it then how is it to benefit any one? You can think that you are smart as hell, but without that everyday “dah” common sense with life, im sorry but you are dummer than a box of rocks that didnt sell when Pet Rocks were Popular.
    IN MY OPINION 🙂

  25. Jess says:

    You know what sarah I’m sorry that this happened and it turned out the way it did but I believe after hearing the prosecutors and police I know what your mom could have done to save them.And if anyone deserved to be the survivor it should have been my brother he was the only truely innocent one there..And I know the truth too

  26. George says:

    YTSRIHT, the link is on the right side of the screen: “check superior court cases….” If you just take the time to learn how to use the website, you can find if anyone has had a court case in the past 20+ years. You will also find how those cases are adjudicated (one person from this article had once case, the other had two).

    Sarah, just because a person is dealing drugs, that doesn’t mean they are going to have cars and houses and riches galore. A vast majority of drug dealers are also users themselves. Just because someone tested clean in a drug test does NOT mean they aren’t a user.

    The current case, however, has not been adjudicated as of yet, so your mother IS innocent, up to and until she is proven guilty. Yes, I know you hate the cops for arresting your mother, and all the lies they are spreading, but what if they aren’t lies?

    You must remember that drugs are extremely powerful. The draw they have is almost overwhelming for some people, no matter how hard they try. But drug use doesn’t only affect those who take drugs, it also affect family members, especially those who don’t use, and never have used. One of those affects is DENIAL.

    So, IS your mother guilty of what she is charged with? WE (by “we” I mean EVERY person looking at this, including you…) don’t know, as she has not been convicted or acquitted of any of the recent charges.

    Then, and ONLY then, will the truth be known.

  27. Sarah says:

    I lived there with my mom and my step-dad and step-brother till one month before the shooting. I talked to my mom after she got out of jail, and they tested her and guess what?! SHE WAS CLEAN. No drugs or anything in her system. Yes my mom has made her mistakes, but she has also paid her time. If there was any drugs in that house, I would have known about it, cuz I was there in that house and seen EVERYTHING with my own eyes. The police were after my mom from a couple years ago, they suspected that she was doing drugs, but she didnt. I know what my mom was like when she was doing meth, but she has changed. My mom has NOT used meth since she got out of jail for the first time. Don’t you think that if my mom was selling drugs right now then she would have a house, and a car? She doesn’t have either, she has to stay with friends and ask other people to take her places. She doesn’t have money to pay her cell phone most the time. I know the truth, and most of you don’t, so you can keep saying what you want, but in the end I KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS.

  28. YTSRIHT says:

    “FREE THE BIG DADDY’S” That is my positive affirmation of the day. Good night haters

  29. YTSRIHT says:

    Sarah, You dont need to listen to any of us, you just need to know whats in your heart and your moms heart and that is all you need because until the “ALLEGED” have their day in court , many people will feel the need to slam, ram and jam B.S onto public forums just like this and all the while have no clue what is really going on and yet they still feel compelled to add more confusion and stories with no factual basis whatsoever and it may be for good reasons in their eyes or it might be to be spiteful and uncaring like I suspect they are trying to be. And guess what…. I was once told…..well okay, more thasn once, that drug addiction is a disease. So people of the public forum with so much to say, do you find yourself treating people with cancer, heart disease or any disease, like you do a drug addicts or even alleged drug addicts. I bet you dont. Im not saying either person is an addict or dealer or has cancer for that matter, I’am just sick of everybody always contradicting everything, for example, the law, themselves, and the hype this case is getting. Both ALLEGED women never even compared to the R. Russell golf ball sized package of meth shoved up his backside, but yet they are getting more negative hype than his case ever did. Makes no sense. As for these women being big daddy drug dealers makes me laugh and also makes me scared at the same time because you have to realize that even though it couldn’t be further from the truth, the cops that arrested them and said they were the “BIG ONES” are the very cops that are supposed to be protecting the community. Im pissed and ashamed to say my tax dollars help pay their wages. What a waste.

  30. YTSRIHT says:

    George where do i look to see these court records with evidence of prior drug issues for the alleged.

  31. YTSRIHT says:

    Karen, I think you misread Janets comment. If you read it again you will see that she actually is on Sarah’s side. When she said “Give Up” I think she meant give up on thinking you will get very far even when you take the high road because it all boils down to whatever the govt., local agencies and so on want, is what they will get because they are corrupt. The message is actually just what sarah needs to read from people. People who understand what she is going through and have been through it themselves. I know you you just misread it and you have her back too so you go girl.

  32. George says:

    For one thing, if Sarah has information that would prove that her mother is not involved in any way with drugs, then we would like to see it, as that would completely repudiate anything that the media is telling us. By remaining silent, the ONLY thing we have to go on is what the media reports, or what law enforcement and the prosecutors release to the public. So far, most, if not all, of that information points to someone who is allegedly a player in the use, sale, and distribution of illegal narcotics (I say “alleged” since she has only been charged, not convicted.)

    However, if one does some basic research, you CAN find records showing that the two persons arrested in conjunction with the methamphetamine case have had their time in court before, for drugs, and for the crimes that drugs bring about. So, we also have THAT to go by.

    And so, I once again implore Sarah to give us proof that her mother is not involved in the current case, so we have something else to go with here. Otherwise, her silence shows that she has nothing.

    I won’t say anything about the poor spelling and improper grammar…

  33. KPALMESE says:

    ok for one there is nothing for sarah to prove except for what everyone automatically assumes. there was never any thing found in the salkum home. the only thing about drugs list is what the police believe alleged drug debt gone bad .I’m not sticking up for anyone but look act the facts. everyone has taking this statment and made there own theorys or what ever to make this poor girl have to plead not only her innocence but her mothers. It’s out right look act the facts only.they never said they found drugs bags money any amount, or anything to do with drugs read the courts papers . As a matter of fact there is one thing that is believed to be true is about Sr. being blackmailed. HEY EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO KEEP PURSICUTEING THIS GIRL. GET YOUR BIFOCALS OUT OR WHAT EVER IS NECCESSSERY GO BACK AND READ UNSEALED DOCUMENTS FROM SEPT 6 AND READ IT ALL ……. THEN LOOK UP THE WORD EXTORTION IF YOU NEED ………..NOW LEAVE THIS GIRL ALONE AND THE REST OF HER FAMILY SHE DON’T NEED TO TELL ANY OF YOU ANY THING ABSOULUTEY NOTHING. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SHUT YOUR MOUTHES AND READ IT YOURSELFAND IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO DO THIS. THEN SHUT UP AND QUIT SMEARING SARAH ALL OVER WHAT YOU THINK .BEFORE YOU POST TO THIS GO BACK AND READ THE ABOVE MENTION ARTICLE….IF IT ALL LEADS BACK TO MEDIA COMMENT ON IT ALL U WANT BUT YOU HAVE TO READ IT FIRST….HELLO IT TELLS WHAT EVER YOU ARE DEMANING SARAH TO TELL. IF YOU DO THAT MAYBE YOU’LL HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS ACTUALLY THE ISSUE.IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME THAT YOUR TRYING TO FORCE SARAH INTO ADMITTING WHAT YOU ALL SAY WAS GOING ON OR WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW . JUST READ THE ARTICLE FOLKS WHICH IS FROM DET.BRUCE KIMSEY. THEN YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWERS YOU KNOW NOW …………..SIMPLE

  34. George says:

    Sarah, if you know a truth to be different than what is being reported here, then perhaps you might enlighten us. By NOT telling the truth, then you are feeding into the machine (as Janet says). So, we’ll be waiting to hear what you say to be the truth.

  35. KPALMESE says:

    LET THE GIRL STICK UP FOR HER MOTHER. SHE HAS THAT RIGHT IT’S THE ONLY THING SHE’S GOT LEFT THINK ABOUT IT

  36. KPALMESE says:

    OH and by the way Thomasena. Thats because the the alleged big time distribor.

    Miss janet how dare you tell a young girl who is doing what is right to stick up for her mother TO GIVE IT UP .For one lady i’ve been on both sides of the fence more than once .But i’ve finallygot on the one thats suppose to be right in societies eye’s any way. Do you have any duaghters if you do i’m embarresedfor them. For two Denise has never been pointed at until the shootings labeled alleged drug debt.I hope you never make a mistake here or there and get labeled and the only person u end up have is your very own daughter and someone like you comes along and tells her to JUST GIVE IT UP!! I THINK YOU NEED TO GET IN TO COUNSELING OR SOME SORT OF HELP TO TELLING A VERY NEW MOTHER WHOSE LIFE HAS BEEN TORN APART AND TO HAVE PEOPLE LIKE YOU.i dont’ know if you kneew any of them Did you.if so probably from the past well. Since your lacking sense of some sort.People Change over time. And thats Excatly it if any of you people knew them is has and was based on there past.The cops didn’t seem to say that they found any drugs in there salkum home did they.No so you are going by what the papers say.Which like i said i’ve on both sides deeper than you’ll ever ever know.You don’t even know what they did day to day.They where some of my very close close friends as a matter of fact a person couldn’t get any better no matter what.I don’t give a d— what any body does or what people say they know whats going onif all you know why was’nt anything done.Cause the guilt only lies in eyes of judgemental and a disraceful people like you {?} and a persons past. There are places for bad people and everybody making all so bad wheres the facts ?? there are not any except for 3 dead bodies and a shreddof a sliver of something people call a familySo you owe that girl a apology that for sure and then some.

    Sarah, if the truth is so important, then why arent you letting it be known? Spread the word so that the people of this county will see it! Unless, of course, you are afraid of retribution!
    That is why the local government, almost all the agencies, and mostly law enforcement, get away with whatever they want! They back each other up! Then, if your bold enough to try to take it to a higher power, ha, give it up! Its a big dead end!
    When you face that dead end it puts you back, face to face, with the corrupt powers that you are trying to expose. And that, is where it will end. They win, they will always win!
    Check the internet, it is full of people just like me, who all, at the end, will tell you to stop. Dont push it any further, there is no retribution for the evilness of our government! It is deep and it is scary! The government of the entire country is littered with enough corrupt people to keep citizens like us subdued!
    And at that I will stop! I can not say anymore! Sarah, I am behind you. So I want to tell you to not agonize over what is happening. Sad to say, accept it, and go on as best as possible. Theres no fighting, its futile. If you value your freedom or your life, let it be, like I have done.

    No one here has the right to judge my mothee or what she has been through. You only know the stories that the media prints out an embeds in your head. I know what happen and why MY family got shot, and the news papers are lying about it.

    Id just like to throw my comment out there about Denise, she gets busted and then I look this morning and shes out of jail. She must have snitched alot of people because she surely didnt spend the time that she should have. BIG DRUG DEALER AND THEY LET HER OUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????? I have children for gods sake why are you letting people break the law and then letting them get away with it? Something isnt right in the county!!!

    The one who allegedly killed the three isn’t getting what is deserved (the death penalty). His accomplice isn’t either.

    The ones in THIS case, well, apparently, the one didn’t learn her lesson after surviving the attempt to execute her, and the other ones, well, they’ll get what they got coming….

    Justice is slowly being served all will get what they know is coming to them..
