Blacksburg social activists listed as missing following suspected arson

The fire's cause had not yet been determined in what police are calling "a very vague crime scene."

PEARISBURG - Giles County sheriff's investigators are looking for two Blacksburg social activists who haven't been seen since Thursday morning, when a cabin in Newport that was home to one of them was destroyed by fire.

Sue Daniels, 44, who lived in the cabin, and her friend, Niklan Jones-Lezama, 40, have been listed in a national database of missing people, said Lt. Willie Lucas of the Giles County Sheriff's Office. Newport firefighters were called to Daniels' cabin on Spruce Run Road outside Newport about 7:20 a.m. Thursday. Firefighters found what turned out to be an animal's remains, probably a stray dog, in the rubble and called investigators, Lucas said.

Interesting story. With those first time voters, it's good to keep them in the game, and on our side.

My county threw out the 'who has the most campaign signs' theory.

4 years ago there were allot of Gore signs but I knew we would win.

This year there were SKerry signs, and bumper stickers EVERYWHERE. I was a little concerned. We still won by 36 points lol.

Her Cabin was near Newport. No electricity either.

Perhaps the effectiveness of the sign, was the placement and coloring of the sign: flat against the barn, away from our house, in John Deere green/yellow .

So was the fire caused by an unattended lamp after they died?

[AppyPappy]

No. He killed her and set fire to the house. Then he killed himself

As you know, I'm in the area, also, and haven't heard anything about it, either. But I haven't had time to read a paper or watch the news in the past couple of days. Howdy, neighbors.

Always good to see another good FR here from our neck of the woods....the woods part is literal! lol

I've often wondered how many FReepers were from around here.

[GummyIII]

I do believe there are right many around here! LOL...woods is very literal, eh? I've been outside enjoying some of that and cleaning up some branches, etc. in my yard from such. Snow tomorrow, reckon?

[KoRn]

They are talkin' light snow 1 inch or less...that means 3 feet. The storm is along the coast going north so who knows. If is comes close we get hammered, if it stays back we are ok.

"I've been outside enjoying some of that and cleaning up some branches"

Great day outside to do that, I thought about some mountain climbing, or hiking, awesome day for it!

[GummyIII]

My feller went hunting....it's a good day for that, too!

[KoRn]

By "yer feller" I assume you are referring to your son?!?

[GummyIII]

No, I have two daughters, no sons. I'm referring to my sweetheart. (I'm female...did the handle throw you?)

[KoRn]

Yeah lol it sure did. Seemed like a screen name a guy would have....../blushes

[KoRn]

Also, the people around here who say "feller" tend to be men.

[GummyIII]

Well, there's a long story to that handle...lol! I've had it since 1996, so am reluctant to part with it. I've used it on here since 1998.

[KoRn]

Wow I've only been around here for a few months, on 911 this year actually. I think I dropped by after the Buckethead Rathergate scandal. Haven't left since lol.

[AppyPappy]

There are a few more in Roanoke as well.

"There are a few more in Roanoke as well."
