(May 4) -- Maryland police have arrested a fourth person in connection with the killing of Brian Betts, a popular Washington public school principal, and say the suspects had contact with him on a sex chat line shortly before he died.

WTOP reported this morning that Deontra Gray, 18, has been charged with Betts' murder and that robbery was the motive. Police on Monday also charged Alante Saunders and Sharif Tau Lancaster, both 18, with murder.

Artura Otey Williams, 46, Lancaster's mother, was taken into custody Monday and charged with two counts of credit card misuse described by police as being "in relation to the Betts homicide," The Washington Post reported. Surveillance video captured Williams using one of Betts' credit cards at a supermarket in Silver Spring, Md., less than two miles from his home, police said.

Police say Betts didn't appear to have had any relationship with the suspects before arranging to talk to them on the phone line and that he may have been set up as a robbery target, according to the Post.

25 feet of rope just won't do the job...

4 perps times 25 feet of rope = 100 feet of rope.

That's the ticket!

No, it’s gotta be Amish. Clearly, the media is trying to hide that connection.

Deontra Gray, 18, Alante Saunders and Sharif Tau Lancaster, both 18 and Artura Otey Williams, 46

Militant Amish? Mennonites? TeaPartyers? Hillbillies? Rednecks?
For some reason I just don't think so.

Wanna bet they really ARE trying to hide something else?

Stay with me here. First, according to this article:

http://tinyurl.com/36bafmd

he was on an internet sex chat with them just before getting killed.

He is a UNCG (University of North Carolina at Greensboro) alum. UNCG is well known for having one of the biggest homosexual populations among it’s student population in the nation. It is referred to locally as UNC-GAY because of it’s large number of gay students. He was also a cheerleader, which is a group at UNCG that is known to be made up of a majority of gays year in and year out.

So, here we have what we have to assume is a SINGLE male edumikator surfing a sex chat room and getting whacked (no pun intended) by those he likely was trying to hook up with. Now, they probably did set him up, but knew guys like that were easy targets.

Now, think the press will delve into his sexual preference or ask WHY someone who is a principal of a school would be surfing sex chat rooms in his spare time?

Nah. I didn’t think so.

I wondered about that myself. It seems like they’re overlooking the obvious here.

When I first heard about his murder, that was the first scenario I thought of.

I knew when I saw the guys picture a couple weeks back that this would be sex related.

Brian Betts, a popular...

Of course he was gay. They used the code word for it (popular).

On the Office, Michael was talking about the most popular teacher he had. Everybody loved him. The teacher even "hooked" up with one of the students...then 12 others also came forward....really ruined his 8th grade year.

Good Gawd: I saw those names and thought they were women.

With names like that no wonder they are killers. That’s worse than Johnny Cash and a boy named Sue.

They seem pretty typical of Washington yout’s.
