A 76-year-old Warren County woman died Friday in a house fire that was the culmination of a day of terror for her and her husband, authorities said.

When firefighters arrived in the Wildwood neighborhood along Lake Gaston, they discovered a deadly crime scene. 2

"We're a small community, and for this to happen in this kind of town is unheard of," business owner Pete Richardson said.

Police said the intruders also stole the family's car, a gray Mercedes, which has not been found.

Police have not yet released suspect descriptions.

"There's a mix of sadness and concern with little information on the men who did this. Police have not yet released suspect descriptions. "

Finally, the police mentioned: " The sheriff said only that the suspects are believed to be two black males, but they both had their faces covered during the crime." (This sentence has been recently scrubbed from both articles. )

At least there is no crime spree of White people being burned alive by blacks-- if there were, we would have heard about that. Right?

Ebony and Ivory my ass.

At least with newspapers, you can’t edit articles instantly. Today, a phone call, and information can be disappeared on the net. Apparently, they’re worried this info will get out, otherwise no reason to be so tight-lipped. Reminds me of the muslim rape epidemic in the UK they don’t talk about for fear of being called racists. Same here in the US.

There’s not a death sentence barbaric enough to suit the vermin who commit outrages such as this.

[goldendelicious]

at least the police are being helpful by giving out lots of information about the perps to help the community and get these guys stopped. Oh wait, they’re not. Never mind.

[I want the USA back]

Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically assault Whites.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

That part of North Carolina is deceptively rural and bucolic. The feral tribesman of Warren and neighboring counties are as brutal and evil as any you will meet in the ghettos of the worst cities. You better be armed because it's like South Africa, and the sheriff won't be of any use until after the fact.

This is why everyone needs to have at least one gun.

The closest I have ever come to having to use a firearm to defend my self was at a gas station in Roanoke Rapids NC...I had my hand on my pocket carry and was ready .... my “get off my lawn look” was enough to make the Amish youth think twice and go in another direction

Another example of why institutions that have ATMs need to build an optional distress code into PINS so people being forced to make withdrawals can summon 911

[Grampa Dave]

In the past decade plus in Californicator Land, when terrible crimes are committed with zero public description of the perps.

It is a safe bet that they are probably illegals from a country south of here or another minority born in America preying on white victims.

[KC_Conspirator]

Yes, again, behold that authorities have no released descriptions of the suspects.

He was/is a minister.

Warren County Sheriff Johnny Williams said that the home of John and Nancy Alford at 119 Mulberry Court was involved in the incident, which was reported around 10:30 a.m.

John Alford is the pastor of Sanford Memorial Baptist Church in Brodnax, Virginia, the Concord Baptist Association said.

The couple arrived home around 9 a.m. and found two burglars inside, Williams told WNCN.

Nancy Alford was then forced to drive to a nearby bank and ordered to withdraw about $1,000, officials said.

The couple was then placed inside the home, which was set on fire. John Alford was beaten by the thieves but managed to escape, however, he was unable to rescue his wife, who died, Williams said.

John Alford was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Letter to church members:

Dear Pastors and Association Members,
It is with deepest sympathy we make this post. The home of Rev. John Alford, pastor of Sanford Memorial Baptist Church, Brodnax, VA was broken into this morning, and John and his wife, Nancy, were victimized. Their home was set on fire.

John was airlifted to UNC-Chapel Hill. According to Warren County EMS, John sustained inhalation burns in his lungs, and 2nd degree burns to his face, hands and arms. Nancy did not survive. Please pray for John, their family, and his church family.

Their nephew said “Uncle John” and “Aunt Nancy” had lived on the Lake Gaston lot for nearly 40 years. He said he spent his childhood summers at the house, which was on the line between Littleton in North Carolina and Henrico in Virginia. 6

The community remained in shock Saturday.

“We’re a small community, and for this to happen in this kind of town is unheard of,” business owner Pete Richardson said.

Sheriff Johnny Williams said two masked intruders burst into a home on Mulberry Court in Littleton Friday morning and kidnapped Nancy Alford.

One of the intruders drove her to a State Employees’ Credit Union branch in Roanoke Rapids and forced her to withdraw money from an ATM, while the second intruder stayed in the home with her husband, John Alford, Williams said.

WNCN reported that police have not released suspect descriptions, and that the State Bureau of Investigation and the State Highway Patrol are assisting in the investigation. The sheriff said only that the suspects are believed to be two black males, but they both had their faces covered during the crime.

Neither Sheriff Williams nor NC Highway Patrol responded to requests for information at time of publishing.

Be armed at all times!

Satan is in charge of this world presently.

[goldendelicious]

imagine if White men were running around setting black people on fire- think it would be censored local news? It would be THE story on every channel and on every page. There would be marches. Oprah would give a speech.

Update from this morning. Still no description...

Church service honors minister injured, wife killed in Lake Gaston murder, arson

FWIW, I think no description could mean a lot of things.

[Qiviut]

They caught the murderers. Found the car yesterday. Here’s a link:

A few details from the article:

According to Ninth District Prosecuting Attorney Mike Waters, a state trooper arrested Kevin Munn yesterday in an undisclosed location in Warren County.

According to Roanoke Rapids Police Department Chief Chuck Hasty, the department received information that Lester Kearney was in a particular area near Walgreens on Highway 158 at about 12:30 p.m. The department and the SBI observed Kearney and moved in. According to Hasty he was safely brought into custody.

[Ninth District Prosecuting Attorney Mike ] Waters, while he said he could not disclose anything involving the evidence against Kearney and Munn did remark that he does not believe this robbery was random. He said he thinks the suspects knew of the couple.

He said Nancy’s vehicle was recovered in Haywood County and it had been burned.

He disclosed that the fire set at the couple’s home has been determined to be incendiary in nature and also said there is no evidence that the incident was gang related.
