Becky the Crimebuster!
|
|
|
| Or Becky the one who stumbles onto trouble, one or the other...
I let the dogs out today. Gracie and Grizzly declined to come home. Boy that
makes me mad! I walked up my driveway where I could see all the way to the
road, prolly 1000 feet. I saw a dog walk from one side of the driveway to
the other, so I went home and got my truck to go look for her. Got to the
end of the driveway. Looked across the road (to the place where the robbers
hid when my kids were robbed). There was something on the ground. OMG she's
been hit!
Got closer and it was a duffle bag. Pretty new looking. Hmm. Looked to my
right and there were like a jillion CDs spilled all over the ditch. Looked
up in a tree, there's an earpiece from a cell phone. I called the cops. Then
I looked around more. Six bags, total, full of stuff. Mostly CDs, some
clothing. A nice pool cue stick in a case. A CD player. I looked in one of
the smaller bags and saw tools. Burglary tools? Yikes. Took my hands with
their attendant prints OFF the merchandise.
Waited for the deputy. She got there and we went to looking around. I looked
past her back, and there was a license plate in the bushes. She went and got
that (a brand-new one, expiration date January 2006) and called it in. Other
stuff was clothing, tools, and a bag full of $$! Mostly quarters, but a roll
of paper money too. Then, the kicker. Made my hair stand up on end. An
investigator's leather wallet like they wear on a chain around their
necks.With a badge in it. It only said "Arkansas Deputy" rather than
"Pulaski County Deputy" but OMG, it would be plenty to get you where you
wanted to go. "Ma'am, could you step out of the car" or "Ma'am, we need to
search your house" It looked very real.
I called my son to tell him about all the excitement and he said, "well,
then, you may find this interesting. The coroner's truck is out on the
freeway. There's a dead body."
My overactive imagination went to work right then and I don't wanna be a
crimebuster any more!
Of interest is that I told this deputy about what had happened with my kids,
told her that I wanted to know WHO that guy was and WHY he was untouchable.
She told me who I need to call, somebody who will make them sit up and take
notice, and we're going to do it. She agreed with me that the so-called
"investigation" was shamefully mishandled.
So we shall see.

rag mag with stories in it.
Boy am I glad, though, to hear this investigator is helping you with
other case. As I said to you before, something stinks to high heaven
here and I hope this will get to the bottom of it.

Well, if she puts out a series based in Arkansas, I hope she finds
someone who can actually DO an Arkansas accent. I'm not a native
Mainer, but hearing Tom Bosley TRY to put one on is like nails on a
chalkboard.

| All I can say is this just confirms my staunch belief I will never settle
into a small southern town. Thank you very much. Quite frankly any small
town. You're safer in a big city. The corruption and cover up in small
towns is a lot worse!!! The fact this guy is still out and about means he
knows something about someone or knows someone. It is just not right.

Ooooh, one of my pet peeves. Very very few people can accurately do a
southern accent. "In the Heat of the Night" was one of the worst offenders,
Carroll O'Connor excepted. However, Jodie Foster sure nailed West Virginia
in "The Silence of the Lambs."

Most small towns, southern are not, really are like Derry or Castle Rock in
the Stephen King novels, hopefully except for the monsters.

I think she was one of the few who got a Southern accent right! I hate to
see "southern" movies where they can't even get close to the accent. What
they think sounds southern sounds nothing like a true southern accent.

You really thought so? I sure didn't think she sounded like folks from
these parts. Her accent sounded more like "acting" than "natural" to me.

Where are you from, Karen? I'm from southern West Virginia, pretty close to
where her character was supposed to be from, and it sounded dead on to me.
Accents do vary widely in a small area around here, though. I'm an hour and
a half northeast now in the Roanoke area, and of course people here sound
nothing like people there. Last year I was an hour and a half west in far
Southwest Virginia, and those people had yet a third sound.

I hope the info you were given about the investigation into your kids'
robbery pans out. I think "shamefully mishandled" is putting it much
too kindly.

| But Little Rock is a HUGE city. I am on the outskirts, yes, but we're a
really large town. I can't ever remember the population but I think it's
close to half a million.

My dad's side of the family is from Michigan and I have had quite a few
friends from various places up north. After being around any of them for a
period of time, my southern drawl starts turning northward.

We have an awful problem with it here too. They had a huge write-up in the
newspaper (Sunday maybe) about how much more the inmates are costing
taxpayers in dental care due to meth mouth. Just about every night there
is something on the news about busting meth labs - surprisingly many right
in the next neighborhood, one in the storage facility out the back of our
neighborhood (which is right by the train tracks AND they were doing road
construction and jackhammering up the road right next to it - wonder what
brain child thought _that_ would be a good place for a meth lab???) and the
newest thing is the portable meth labs - again, what idiot thinks that
putting all that stuff in a large trailer and pulling it behind your car is
a good idea??? I always worry about those types of trailers now (they are
like horse trailers but totally enclosed - big as them or even smaller ones
but you can stand up in them) - one little fender bender and we'd be blown
to smithereens.

Actually, it's not that hard to come up with a lot of possible ways
she could have ended up like that without her death being at the
hands of another person.

Since my Mom grew up in Maine and I was constantly exposed to her voice,
it usually only takes about two or three sentences while conversing with
a Mainer for me to sound like a old clamdiggah.

Hotel rooms were the "big thing" here a year or two ago. They were busting
those like crazy, so they went on to storage facilities and now trailers
that they pull behind their cars. Scary.

Becky,
You got it. There was a show on PBS sometime in the past month that I think
was called, "Do You Speak American?" and it discussed the accents in
various parts of the country. It pointed out that the Midwest accent was
known as "Normal" and was how broadcasters were taught to speak.
So now whenever Marina is kidding me about something, I remind her that I'M
the one with the normal accent and not her with her trace of New England
accent:-)

My state's right next door--Kentucky (Louisville). It's not the WV accent
I'm talking about, though. I remember thinking when I watched that movie
that *her* attempt at the accent didn't seem "natural" to me.
> Accents do vary widely in a small area around here, though. I'm an hour
and
I was talking more along the lines of how *she* delivered it than the
accents of the natives to the region. It just sounded "forced" to me, if
you know what I mean. IOW, I could tell that the accent she was using was
not her own natural way of speaking.

How did I miss the dead-body story? I remember hearing about the chase
between your kids and the robbers, but I sure didn't hear about a dead body!

Ohhhhh, okay. She was talking about the body in the truck on the freeway.
I thought she meant she'd found a dead body on her property. Duh.
Thanks!

| The dead body was a mere coincidence (not in MY mind at the time, LOL). They
picked up a dead body pretty close to my house, if one were a crow and were
flying, which wouldn't apply to one who had to drive on the freeways and
roads. This happened at the same time I found somebody's dumped cache of
stolen stuff.

| Did you ever find out what the cache of goodies and money was all about?
If they can't connect it with a crime or a legitimate owner, you can
claim it (as the finder) in many jurisdictions by filling out the right
paperwork with the police and waiting for a period of time.
