    This is an urgent plea for help from Prairie Lady; these are her posts: [copied] I JUST got off the phone with my neice. It seems my sister (her mother) is missing since yesterday between 3pm and 4:40pm yesterday from the SouthCarolina area. She headed north as far as we can track, but then nothing. This is TOTALLY uncharacteristic of her. We need to know if she is on her own willingly making decisions, or if she has been abducted and is in need of help.

    Update: For those who remember, there is news regarding Fulks and Basham.

    Outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) wrote a scathing tweet about President Joe Biden after he granted clemency to 37 prisoners on federal death row who received life sentences without the potential for parole. He called it “horribly misguided and insulting,” especially regarding the two men convicted of murdering a student at Marshall University. The Democrat-turned-Independent said he felt a moral obligation to speak out against the outgoing president on behalf of the parents of Samantha Burns, a 19-year-old girl who was killed in November 2002. However, her remains were never found. Manchin said her family wrote letters to Biden pleading...

Federal juries convicted Chadrick Fulks and Branden Basham of murder though her body has never been found. Both men were sentenced to death. Allegations in Barry Donovan's lawsuit include that Wal-Mart failed to adequately monitor and control its premises....
