JUSTICE BE DONE

OCTOBER 30, 2010

Right, wrong or indifferent the DeKalb Police Department and I am sure many other agencies apparently solved the Toni Keller murder. The information surrounding this case was slow in coming out and did not always seem to make sense but they got their man. William P. Curl, 34, was arrested in Louisiana for multiple counts of murder, sexual assault, obstruction of justice, car theft and arson. He could face the death penalty since two of the murder charges re death penalty eligible. The murder occurred during the sexual assault. The obstruction charge is for lying to police and leaving the State. The car theft charge is foe taking his mother’s car without her permission. He drove to Mexico and then back to the United States before being found in Covington, Louisiana.

I could not locate a William P. Curl or a Billy Curl on Facebook or Twitter. I didn’t bother looking on LinkedIn, he doesn’t fit the profile.

Good job Chief Feithen and everyone that helped. The community will sleep better and feel safer about sending our children trick-or-treating tomorrow.

Speaking of monsters.

It’s almost here, Halloween that is. With it comes an old song most of us has heard before. “Monster Mash" is a 1962 novelty song and the best-known song by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. The song was released as a single on Gary S. Paxton's Garpax Records label in August 1962 along with a full-length LP called The Original Monster Mash, which contained several other monster-themed tunes. The "Monster Mash" single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on October 20 of that year, just in time for Halloween. It is the only song to reach number one with the word “electrodes” in it. It has been a perennial holiday favorite ever since. "The Crypt-Kickers". was a five member group that recorded the song with “Boris” Pickett. One of the Crypt-Kickers was Leon Russell.

It appears a terrorist organization has planned and conducted a run through of a multi pronged terror attack. The success or failure of the exercise is hard to determine. We are not going to be given all the facts. So we don’t know if an intelligence agency discovered the plan, if someone found a suspicious device that helped uncover the plan or if an agency received a tip, anonymous or otherwise. It is hard to brand this an intelligence success. At least one device made it onto a plane. Had it been a bomb and it was built properly, it would have exploded.

Officially, the most popular name in England is Oliver, knocking Jack out of first place, If, however, you count the several different ways of spelling Muhamet as one name, it would be in first place. The British should be concerned about this. King Muhammed doesn’t sound good.

The richest man in India is moving into his one billion dollar home shortly, after several delays. A billion dollars just doesn’t get you what it used to.
