News & Events - September 2007

This happened in West Virginia, USA very recently and yesterday, wendsday 9/12th 2007 Megan Williams was still being treated for this in the hospital.



She was Tortured and Raped for a whole week, by Six White individuals, Three males and Three Females Between the ages of 20 and 49.




CNN normally does not reveal sexual a$$ault victims' names. But Williams, who is hospitalized, and her mother, Carmen Williams, wanted her identity revealed.

Police said Bobby Brewster raped Williams, forced her to lick blood and drink from a toilet, and told his mother to kill Williams if she tried to escape.
Authorities previously said Williams was also forced to eat rat and dog feces.

According to criminal complaints filed in the county, Williams was a$$aulted, stabbed in the left leg, choked with cords and beaten for at least a week. When she was found, big parts of her hair had also been torn off of her scalp.
Williams says that Alisha Burton 22 cut her ankle with a knife while saying, "That's what we do to ******* around here," police records show.


"I don't understand a human being doing another human being the way they did my daughter," Carmen Williams told The a$$ociated Press on Tuesday from her daughter's hospital room. "I didn't know there were people like that out here."

Deputies received a tip and Saturday visited a home owned by Frankie Brewster in Big Creek, West Virginia.
As the deputies spoke with a woman on the front porch, "a female inside the residence limped toward the door with her arms held out, saying 'Help me,' " according to a news release from the sheriff's department.
"It's something you'd expect to see in a horror movie, not in Logan County," Abraham said. "She was subjected to unendurable torture down there."

The six are charged with kidnapping, sexual a$$ault, malicious wounding and battery. If convicted of kidnapping, a suspect could face a sentence of up to life in prison. The penalty for first-degree sexual a$$ault is 15 to 35 years.
Abraham said he is seeking the maximum sentence on the kidnapping charges. In addition to the Brewsters, the suspects are Danny J. Combs, 20, of Harts, West Virginia; and George A. Messer, 27, Karen Burton, 46, and her daughter, Alisha Burton, 23, all of Chapmanville, West Virginia.
"They all have previous records and have been arrested numerous times," Sheriff W.E. Hunter said Tuesday. "They are familiar to law enforcement."
Frankie Brewster was charged with first-degree murder in 1994, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter in the death of an 84-year-old woman. She was released in 2000 after serving five years in prison, according to court records cited by the AP.
All of the six individuals that are involved in this case are accused of 108 different cases of crimes all combined.
All six were being held in lieu of $100,000 bail, and all requested court-appointed attorneys, the AP reported.
Investigators are still looking for two other people suspected of driving Williams to the home, according to the AP.

Carmen Williams had not reported her daughter missing, saying Megan Williams often disappeared for weeks at a time.

Carmen Williams said she is "horrified" by her daughter's injuries.
"She wakes up crying, and the first thing she hollers is 'Mommy,' " she said.

Im sorry, but I cant get it out of my head that they are somehow involved! I didnt feel like this about the others! ( I mean the people mentioned in my question),even the guilford 4 I believed were innocent and a terrible miscarriage of justice, but I cant get this feeling out of the pit of my stomach that the Mcganns are involved.
On the day madeline went missing I didnt know, but as time has gone on, and I am not fickle or just listening to media propoganda either way, I just have this horrible feeling!!!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Two men fatally shot a 21-year-old man during a suspected home-invasion, then shot his 7-month-old son in the head as he was strapped in a car seat outside the home, police said.
Sean Paul Aquitania drove with his son, Sean Paul Aquitania Jr., to a home on Friday to visit friends. He left the infant in the car and went to the front door. As two men answered, two other men ran up and forced their way inside,
A melee erupted, and Aquitania was shot at least twice in the upper body. The two suspects fled, stopping to shoot the infant.
The men whom Aquitania had gone to visit were questioned by detectives but not taken into custody, . They were initially cooperative, but detectives believe they know more than they are saying.
Investigators initially believed the infant was killed accidentally by a stray bullet, but later determined he was killed execution-style.
I am sorry, but these people need to be found and killed, Agree?

Why are people still less skeptical of the mainstream media?
isn't watching TV like volunteering to be brainwashed?

If OJ's sports memorabilia is turned over to the Brown/Goldman family as a result of their civil suit over Ron Goldman and Nicole Browns murder, what should they do with the items? I believe that they should publicly burn his hall of fame certificate and any other tangible trophies or awards he has ever received. ill buy that on Pay Per View. Does anyone else agree or have a better idea?

From CNN:
Simpson recently wrote a book originally titled "If I Did It." Simpson had a deal to publish the book, but it was canceled after a public outcry. A bankruptcy judge gave the book rights to the Goldmans.

The Goldmans renamed the book "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer." It hit bookstores Thursday, the same day of the alleged memorabilia

Will you buy this book?

Innocent until proven guilty is of course right and true.

I am genuinely interested to know if you have never formed an opinion on any other murder case over the years or whether you're sticking to your guns on this one for special reasons?

I am geniunely interested in your answers on this one.

PLEASE NO ABUSE!!!

I put:-

"All of it (it being the publicity) is resulting on concentrating on these people and the McCanns themselves (i.e. press is reporting about the PR and the McCanns rather than Maddy) AND losing site of the fact Maddy is missing, probably dead."

Apparently some people think that means I am saying McCanns have lost sight of Maddy being missing?

Instead of reading what you think you will read - try re-reading the sentences before firing off a smart alec answer please - not all of us sit in one camp or another - some of us can see beyond black and white.

Thinking about it - with people like this out there you can see how the media can whip them up into little camps in the first place.
