This Murderer Needs a Friend

Case is serving a life sentence in Cameron for the 1997 murder of Anastasia WitbolsFeugen. But he has, for the most part, the average profile of any Hot Topic-wearing, Cure-loving goth kid. His MySpace page, titled Monochrome, indicates that he likes David Lynch films, listens to Skinny Puppy and reads Philip K. Dick. He must get cable TV in his cell, because he's a fan of The Colbert Report and Mythbusters, both shows that hit the airwaves after his May 2002 conviction.
It's Case's MySpace blog that makes his profile interesting.
Before his conviction, he posted what we described in our 2002 profile of Case as "a series of bizarre, Victorian-style letters to an imaginary 'Mr. White.'" It's easy to see his newest blog items as a follow-up. Since launching his MySpace profile in February, he's posted four entries that provide some insights into Case's prison life. Take the posting 'Lunch' for example. (Case seems to favor one-word titles.) Here, Case shuts up a couple of older cons who were joking about another convict serving life for murder:
"Stabbed her thirty, forty times, I think," adds Lee, looking wide-eyed through those Coke bottle glasses. He chuckles a little. My stomach turns.'"Well, I heard he shot her," Mack says.
"Yeah, well he admits to that," I answer, half in his defense. "He's just trying to get it out what she'd been doing to the kids."
The rest of the blog includes sprawling, melancholy descriptions of prison sites, sounds and smells: "Standing there like this, my cellmate silently breathing in his sleep a couple of feet away, I see the crystals at the crest of the drift one facet at a time as each momentarily casts the morning rays." Then there's memories of the days he haunted Kansas City coffee shops: "Oblivious, never recognizing the implications of that until the night she broke me over her knee like kindling." There's a certain detachment in the way these things are written, as if after almost five years in prison, Case identifies just as little with the fellow inmates as he did with most people when he was driving around with a chicken carcass impaled on the hood of his car. Maybe it's a case study of a man's removal from himself to survive the tragic injustice of his incarceration. Or he could just be a sociopath. - Peter Rugg
















This is ridiculous. You only know the aesthetic of Byron and know nothing about him personally, nor did you ask anyone of his friends or family anything about him. I also know that you sat through the Innocent Project Fundraiser and you go and do this to someone who is so obviously innocent. You also spoke briefly with Byron's mother and she gave you her number to contact her yet you didn't before you went off blogging things about Byron. I am one of Byron's MySpace friends and he has the right to post blogs and talk honestly about what he sees in prison just like you have the right to post this, but remember the key word here is honestly.... Who cares what music he listens to or movies he watches, it has nothing to do with anything. I am so sick of people using movies or music as tools to judge someone rather than talking to them first or atleast to people that they know. Shame on you.
Posted On: Monday, May. 21 2007 @ 10:54AMI am one of Byron's 32 MySpace friends; I also correspond with him. He is not the heathen you are attempting to paint him as. Perhaps you ought to reference the dictionary for the definition of sociopath.
so·ci·o·path [soh-see-uh-path, soh-shee-]
–noun Psychiatry.
a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.
n. One who is affected with a personality disorder marked by antisocial behavior.
n. A person affected with an antisocial personality disorder.
Posted On: Monday, May. 21 2007 @ 12:37PMBeing in the grips of subculture during youth does not a sociopath make, nor does a presumed lack of bonding between an innocent incarcerated man and his prison mates.
Dear Mr. Weasel O I mean Mr. Rugg you have proven that you are nothing more than a slimy journalist who writes for a free magazine. I am sure you are just trying to get ahead in your career but do you really think that preying on people who are fighting for freedom is the way you should go? What exactly were you doing at the innocence project fund raiser? Just looking for a juicy story??? DOUBLE shame on you. The purpose of his website and of his myspace page is to SPREAD THE WORD of his innocence, and that is exactly what Byron's friends and family plan on doing until real justice is served. no way would we allow some mindless journalist bring our spirits down. you have a right to your ignorance and byron's family and friends have the right to fight for his freedom
Posted On: Monday, May. 21 2007 @ 12:53PMNot only am I on Byron's friend list, but I am proud to be his friend in real life.
Byron Case is an amazingly talented, intelligent young man. He has certainly made a difference in my life. He has been a steadfast friend, he has encouraged me in my artistic endeavours, he has been more of a friend than I ever could have believed possible. He has done all of these things, and has asked for nothing in return but friendship. I feel very lucky to know him.
It is my honour and privilege to be his friend. He gave me a very special gift, and it would be impossible for me to ever repay him. He has a warm heart, and never fails to let that warmth show. In the time that I've known him, he has never failed to show his concern for my well-being. This is hardly the behaviour of a detached sociopath. To make the statements that Mr. Rugg made shows a lack of any real knowledge of Byron, or his personality.
It is deeply offensive when someone issues this sort of slam against a person that has no first-hand means of responding. Those of us that know Byron, however, do have the luxury of responding.
Mr. Rugg should feel deeply ashamed. Sadly, people like him seldom do.
Posted On: Monday, May. 21 2007 @ 12:58PMI would like to urge all those who are reading this post, and these comments, to visit "Free Byron Case." The address is www.freebyroncase.com This site will give you the facts of the case. Also, please do visit Byron's MySpace Page. If you actually read what is presented in these sites, you will come away with an accurate portrayal of a young man who was wrongfully imprisoned. Please don't take the gibbering of a third-rate "journalist" as fact.
Posted On: Monday, May. 21 2007 @ 1:43PMMr. (who are you anyways?? let me scroll back up to look... oh, uh, P. Rugg... nobody???) Rugg... I could only imagine that it is your own sociopathic tendencies that lead you to write articles such as this while acting like someone who actually cares. I'm an extreamly good friend of Byron's and know him very well. I am a proud friend of Byron's and DO trust him with MY life. Too bad your courage is so scarce that you are so afraid of a harmless young man, but we will see what we can do to get you some protection out here in this scary world if need be. If you were anyhting more than the third-rate "jounalist" that I hear that you are, you would probably be able to comprehend a story when you read one, meaning that Byron was not defending any murderers in his story at all. Notice the "my stomach turns" quote... He was defending the man against mindless GOSSIP when he was not around to defend himself and made a point that the man actually admitted to what he had done and there was no need to gossip behind his back like a little girl (like you are). So... here I am defending Byron against some mindless gossip as well. God, you remind me of some old, worn-out old woman... but I guess there are places for all typs of "writers" (or gossip columnists) out there. So you keep up the good work on what you do best: (my vocabulary fails me here... but "sucking" best describes it) sucking. Hope you enjoy all the attention your sociopathic ways have set you out to accomplish, babe. ~Jamie

Posted On: Monday, May. 21 2007 @ 11:55PMHaving read the first seven comments from friends of this true poet and convicted killer, Byron Case, I cannot help but wonder what kind of reaction the Pitch would have received from friends of Charlie Manson had it done a similar profile on his ennui while in prison.
These six people (one having written twice) are truly scary, speaking so caringly and lovingly about this convicted, cold-blooded killer as if he had taken a thorn from each one's paw. They all are proud to say they are friends of this guy. None of them knew his victim. None of them care about his victim, who was 18 when he took her life.
One of the posters wants us all to look at the web site specifically set up for this killer's defense, a site that contains partial truths and some outright whoppers.
Here is the other side of the coin: to learn the side of the victim, go to this site (http://www.stasia.org/case_against/index.html), and compare.
I knew Anastasia WitbolsFeugen when she was alive. I even knew Byron Case at that time, and I attended his trial, an advantage I have over most of the previous posters. If anything, Peter Rugg painted far too sympathetic a picture of this "man".
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 7:10AMI must first say that I am also a friend of Byrons. We can all see that this is a single person's opionion and it is an opionion that is not grounded in a lot of research. I think that this could have been a very strong article and I think that this is a very interesting topic.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 8:57AMI think that the author could have written an amazing piece, How many people on My Space are currently in prison or jail? Is this an isolated case? Does Byron or any inmate have the right to self expression still? The right to the creative process, and having the creative process be shared with the wider world? What happens to the concept of a justice system when those prison can reach a wider audience and can attempt to sway public opionion?
I really wish the blogs in general, (and I think that they will as readers increase and demand better quality) would attempt to find a balance between the personal and the journalistic nature of the media.
I think the comment posted May 22, 2007 7:10 AM shows a side of this issue that is not directly related to this article. This person, too cowardly to leave his name(as the "scary" supporters of Byron Case did), is confusing support for a wrongfully convicted man with approval for the crime that was committed. He has become wrapped up in his particular world view, and refuses to even consider the truth.
The comparison with Charles Manson is the sort of puerile nonsense that one generally expects to see from 5 year olds. Sadly, the First Amendment forces us to put up with kooks like this.
This "anonymous" person seems to think that attending the trial affords him some great insights into the character of Byron Case. This is wrong. Byron is an honourable, noble, caring, friendly, young man that fell victim to a corrupt state legal system.
Yes, I am PROUD to be Byron's friend. I believe in him, with no doubts or hesitations, 100%. I PROUDLY stand at his side, knowing that he is victim.

Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 9:43AMByron Case, when I met him, seemed a very charismatic young man, one who was capable of gaining and commanding blind loyalty from friends and family, and capable of making them believe anything. People are always looking for a leader of people. Sadly, sociopaths frequently don't make for good leaders. Charles Manson didn't; neither does Byron Case.
I could simply follow Don Buchwalter's comment with the remark "I rest my case", as he almost perfectly epitomizes that blind loyalty. He talks of others "refusing to even consider the truth", when he made up his mind before ever considering any evidence except what was spoon-fed him by Byron Case.
As for "cowardice" at not giving names, I live in Kansas City, where there is still the possibility of harassment. Don't think that's a possibility, Don? Ask your buddy about his old friends Peige and Allie. Neither lives in town anymore, and with reason.
And where do you live, Don? Pennsylvania, you say? Weeeeell, it's real brave of all of you MySpace friends to give your names as if you're all local.
Some posters here have argued about Byron Case's right to free expression. I'd like to argue in favor of Anastasia WitbolsFeugen's same rights, but she's dead, and Byron Case did it.
Mr. Buchwalter thinks the First Amendment "forces" him to put up with "kooks" like me. No, it is what allows a killer like Byron Case to continue to spout his lies.
Attending the trial gave me no insights into Case's personality; meeting him in person before the killing and knowing his victim DID give me insight, however. Attending the trial DOES give me a good idea of its fairness.
Byron case is a killer, a liar, and a sociopath, and his "friends" are fools.
I'm actually a bit sorry that this story was even printed, as it gives free publicity to a rightfully convicted killer. It's just giving another forum for his friends to use.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 10:25AMAbsolute and unquestioning loyalty is characteristic of solid foundations in meaningful relationships; perhaps 'Frank' has never had one.
My belief in Byron's innocence was developed through reading every available court document, statement, and police report available, prior to any direct correspondence with him.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 12:27PM"Sylvia" says that "[a]bsolute and unquestioning loyalty is characteristic of solid foundations in meaningful relationships".
Well, "Sylvia", that is also a defining characteristic of cults. Loyalty is indeed characteristic of a meaningful relationship, something I doubt you really have with Byron Case (who never had a meaningful relationship with anyone but himself), but unquestioning loyalty is what Manson got from his followers.
"Sylvia" says her "belief in Byron's innocence was developed through reading every available court document", etc.
"Available" is the key word in here. The documents on Case's website have been cherry-picked, are a fraction of what was out there, and many listed were totally irrelevant to the trial.
If Case and his friends really wanted to let you see everything, they would include a transcript of the trial, and you would see that the prosecution's eyewitness testimony was far from "highly questionable", and in fact was quite compelling; you would see that two defense witnesses (personal friends of the killer) got caught up during cross-examination and looked rather foolish; you would see that the prosecution built a strong case against Case, breaking down his alibi, and that most of Case's defense during the trial was little more "Screw 'reasonable doubt', I want you to prove it beyond absolute doubt!" and "Liar Liar, pants on fire!"
But you're not interested in that, are you? You have all the "facts" necessary, spoon-fed to you by Case & Co. And you also have that "meaningful relationship" with Byron Case.
Do you have any idea of how many women wrote to Ted Bundy when he was on Death Row and wanted to marry him? You're not just a fool, you're a pathetic fool.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 4:12PMTo "Frank:"
1. Where did you get your degree in Psychology? To accuse me of being some blindly loyal idiot, when you've never met me or spoken to me, must be the result of years of Psychological research.
2. Thanks for visiting my MySpace page! You mentioned that I lived in Pennsylvania, yet I never wrote that in the comments I posted. The only way you could have learned this fact is if you visited my page. Thanks for adding to my visitor count!
3. No one "spoon-feeds" me anything. I am aware of the facts of the case, and I find your arguments to be irrelevant, filled with supposition and innuendo, and based in fantasy.
4. Loyalty is not a failing. Perhaps you do not know this, but loyalty is the most important gift a person can give, or receive.
5. Where I live is immaterial. Harassment can occur by many means. When a person believes in something, he does not fear to leave his name.
6. And finally, "Frank," personal attacks against me do not frighten me, and will not dissuade me. I am resolute in my beliefs, and shall never abandon them. I do not retreat, no matter the reason. When a man must resort to this sort of attack, it proves how weak his case is.

Don,
As for (1), University of Kansas, although psych only was my minor. But it really does not take a psych degree to read you like a cheap novel, just a look at your MySpace site was enough. Also, I've been shown the emails you sent to his victim's site (now kids, can you all say "Inappropriate Behavior"?), and they told me as much as I would ever need to know about you by themselves.
(2), you're welcome, I guess. You are the most obvious "friend" of "Monochrome", naming your site after him. Do you win something for a high visitor count? I'll go again and hit "reload" if it helps.
(3)Okay, maybe he fed it to you through an enema tube, but you haven't addressed any arguments. You're discounting facts as "irrelevant". That's my objection. You accept only the World According to Case, in which evil ex-girlfriends, desperate Sheriff's Departments, and glory-hungry prosecutors all conspire to go after the Golden Boy. Man, talk about "fantasy".
(4) I have no problem with loyalty, in its proper place. What I see from you and too many others is blind, fanatical devotion.
(5) Calling me "coward" for not using my name when direct and indirect harassment from Byron Case's friends and family (which has happened on occasion to several besides myself) is simply hypocrisy on your part. Doing so from a comfortable distance just makes the name-calling even more hypocritical.
(6) Well, Don, I'm glad you're not frightened, as it was never my intent. All I meant to do was hold you up to others who read this as a target of ridicule, and I believe I've succeeded on that effort.
If you want to see your "arguments" rebutted, just go to http://www.stasia.org/case_against/ , where that has been done pretty well already. I'm just here for the entertainment.
I'm not "resorting" to any such attack, just putting in writing what is obvious to the rest of the world who reading Plog: that Byron Case is a killer who is doing much better than the girl he brutally murdered 10 years ago, and that his fans are pathetic fools.

Frank... you are an idiot. That's the entire problem. I've read the court transcripts... several times, and have seen every shred of "evidence" against Byron. He was railroaded... You even said it best. The prosecution KNEW what it needed for a conviction, and desperately NEEDED a conviction in this case since no one else was alive to prove otherwise. So they DID BUILD the case they needed and knew how to trip up any witnesses for Byron. Hell, prosecutors are TRAINED to be sociopaths. A person can SAY ANYTHING... even under oath... And that was done... now what I want you to do is show me another shred of evidence against Byron that is a visible fact and not just a statement out of a mouth... ...from Missouri by the way. ~Jamie

Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 8:41PMWho exactly are you covering for???
"you are an idiot. That's the entire problem."
Oh, so nice to hear "expert" opinion from another true believer, escpecially as to my intelligence. It has nothing to do with intelligence here, just perspective. You could have read a signed confession and you wouldn't have believed it. The evidence was compelling to a jury, and you still think it was bogus. Congratulations: you really are a True Believer.
I'm not going to argue the merits of Case's conviction here because (A) I wasn't on the jury and neither were you, (B) there really was a jury, approved by Case and his attorney, which found the prosecution testimony and evidence compelling and believable while disbeliving the defense, (C) the arguments are already well-presented at http://www.stasia.org/case_against/ and (D) the discussion here on this blog is not about the merits of the case (you have a web site that presents your "side"), but rather about how pathetic it is that so many otherwise intelligent people have been suckered into supporting a killer and to become losers themselves.
I'm not here to argue, I'm just here to laugh at the expense of all you whiny sychophants in the same manner that Byron Case used to laugh at Anastasia's family after the murder.
The jury made its call, I agree with their findings, and Judge Atwell made it clear that they had ample reason to do so with eyewitness testimony that matched the forensic evidence, and NO ALIBI. (see http://www.stasia.org/case_against/crimescene.html to see).
BTW, I didn't "say it best", I was just summarizing the claims from the BC website, which come down to nothing more than "we wuz railroaded". How many cons in prison will tell you they were "railroaded" because of evil prosecutors or cops, or because someone had it in for them? A substantial fraction, I'd guess. How many of them would you believe? That depends upon how many are as good-looking and as smooth-talking as Case.
There are over a dozen unsolved murder cases currently in Jackson County, Missouri at this moment, some of them many years old. There was no "desperation" here, except in Case's description. He knew he was a suspect from the day of the murder, and he now acts like this was such a shock.
"Hell, prosecutors are TRAINED to be sociopaths."
Now, THAT's an interesting theory. Why don't you suggest that Case use it in his next appeal? ALL prosecutors are evil, therefore all criminals are innocent. Shouldn't this be a line from "Sympathy for the Devil"?
"A person can SAY ANYTHING... even under oath... And that was done... "
You got that right. Byron Case lied his ass off in his efforts to save his ass. He'd lied so many times before that he thought it would work again this time. It didn't.
American Jurisprudence 1, Lying little shit, 0.
"now what I want you to do is show me another shred of evidence against Byron"
And now what I want you all to do is to go fuck yourselves. I've been reading and listening to Byron Case whine about how bad he had it since the week after Anastasia was murdered, because everybody was suspecting him, and Anastasia was such a good friend, and that we were all just being mean to him . . .
And now that he is a convicted murderer, he still whines, and now has a fucking Greek chorus behind him to help whine for him when he gets to tired.
Here is the bottom line: I don't got to show you no stinking evidence. The evidence was shown at trial, along with all his evidence and rebuttal, and he was fairly convicted. If you don't like the result, vote for a diffent god.
It is now HIS responsibility to try to overturn that conviction, and from what I heard from the family recently, his latest appeal won't go far.
I cannot actually speak for anyone in Anastasia's immediate family, but you've all provided me some entertainment today. Thanks.
Peter, I loved your story. Do it again some time. You're not making fun of the afflicted; you're making fun of the affliction instead.

Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 8:47PMFrank. You may draw all the conclusions you like about me, however misguided. I am not some lost soul, or some pathetic female vying for Byron's affections. I am merely a penpal, and would not even consider myself a friend of Byron's at this juncture. I have not discussed matters of the case with him. I drew my own conclusions about his case from the wealth of information available on the internet, including stasia.org, not exclusively from the website constructed by Byron's many supporters as you suggested.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 8:49PMDon, I know you are in denial about those emails you sent to Anastasia WitbolsFeugen's memorial website ( http://www.stasia.org ), so I had a copy sent me, and I'd like to share it with you (since you swear you never sent it, I'm not going to worry about privacy or copyright issues):

Talk about slander!
Byron Case is the greatest man I've ever met. I have no doubt that his wrongful conviction will be overturned.
It is unfortunate that Anastasia was murdered, but it is tragic that the wrong man is paying the price for that murder.
From: Don Buchwalter
22 Mar 2007
A certain website, run by anti-Byron fanatics, claims that the supporters of Byron Case refuse to discuss the issue of a supposed "tacit admission." I will discuss it. For a person in the midst of a police investigation to refuse to discuss said investigation with a third party is perfectly normal. In fact, any defense attorney would instruct his client to remain silent unless representation was present. To say "We shouldn't talk about this." is not an admission, tacit or otherwise. It is what any intelligent person would say.
What the anti-Byron fanatics fail to mention is that the phone conversation was a set-up. The state of Missouri's "witness" was obviously and blatantly attempting to goad Byron into saying something incriminating. When he did not, the state merely redefined the meaning of incriminating. They were desperate to make a conviction, and they were willing to do whatever it took to convict.
When a case that steals the life of an incredible young man is based only on the lies of one witness, and the states blatant redefining of the 5th Amendment , we all lose.

Your April 4th addition of a transcript of Byron's "tacit admission" proves nothing. A careful reading shows that he made_ no admission_, and that he was being goaded into making incriminating statements by a girl desperate to destroy him. It is sad that the Missouri courts had to throw out the law in order to convict an amazing man.
Any of this sound familiar? All three came with the same address, and with your name on them, and they sound like the same lunatic rantings from your MySpace site (really, everyone should go there and check it out. It's a hoot. We have a serious case of obsession here.) If it wasn't you, it was someone borrowing not only your email ID, but your writing "style".
And, oh yeah, we DID keep the original headers from the emails. They all came from you.
I saw you were already whining on your MySpace site about our earlier exchange, though you only posted your questions, and failed to post my answers, giving the impression that you were the last man standing.
And now you're whining about your email. Get a life, Don, get a life. MySpace is supposed to be a place to pick up chicks.
And BTW, Frank really is my name. I helped put the autobot together for the new website.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 9:04PMSomehow, I'm not surprised that this story took this spin. For those that are unfamiliar with the case, I encourage you to look at Byron's myspace and read the documentation on freebyroncase.com before drawing any final conclusions. There's a lot more to the story than what is presented here.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 9:05PMmost of these posts aren't even about the article! The point is whether prisoners should have MySpace access. Mr. Case may get cable, but I don't think he has computer access! Lots of prisoners have myspace pages run by supporters, and there should be no reason that their friends can't do these pages.

Don't get a heart attack. We are all at peace with ourselves to know that Byron IS INNOCENT.
Go wash you filthy mouth with soap. You poor smuck.
We are your entertainment, exactly, you have nothing better to do, no friends, no life.
Nothing but HATRED. Byron IS locked up, what else do YOU want? You lonely soul.
i've read dons blogs, and those emails came from those blogs. anyone could have sent them.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 9:19PM"anon." said,
"i've read dons blogs, and those emails came from those blogs. anyone could have sent them."
Not from his own email ID. The auto-bot sent back a message, based on what it found in the headers (checking for bogus ID's) to the sending ID, and he was the one who received it. Either he sent it, or someone used his computer and email account to send it.
Much as I've enjoyed teasing you (and most of you deserve a sharp whack across the head from your parents), I must take my leave. Your constant whining annoys me, but I've been used to reading Byron Case whining since late in 1997.
As for life, I can take a night off to take on this group once in awhile. Pissing off Byron Case and his friends is a hobby of some of us, and I rarely get to indulge, especially in such a concentrated dose.
Tim, you are correct that most of these posts (mine included) have strayed far from the actual topic. I will, however, say in my defense that I DID mention that the main point of the original blog was how incongruous is was to contrast Byron Case's crime to the sensitive soul his blog projects, with just a hint that there's something wrong about having a convicted murderer as a friend, and also the fact that Case's friends were the ones who highjacked the topic.
Mr. Rugg got attacked with such vitriol that I suspected that someone on MySpace sent a note out to everyone on the list and said, "let's show them how united we are and argue", and it all turned into one giant Group Whine.
I think the point's been made. The only people critical of the blog are either MySpace pathetiques or local True Believers (who remain anonymous), acting as if it's a broad cross-section of regular readers. I just wanted to make sure the voice of reason was heard. It was like trying to teach the proverbial pig to sing: it wastes your time and annoys the pig.
"Anonymous" (who identified themselves by their words as one of Case's True Believers) says "Go wash you filthy mouth with soap. You poor smuck."
The word, Ano, is "schmuck". I don't know what a "smuck" is. And go fuck yourself. I don't believe that I'm behaving any worse than, oh say, Byron Case did when he walked around Kansas City dressed as a priest wearing a button that said "I ass-raped your savior". The only difference is that he intended to indiscrimiately offend anyone who saw it; I'm targeting a specific group.
I'm at peace myself, and I have plenty of friends, all of them on the outside. I only wish Anastasia were still one of them; in that respect, I am a lonely soul, but I'll survive.
I know in my heart (and based upon the evidence presented) that Byron Case murdered Anastasia WitbolsFeugen with premeditation, that he would have killed again had he not been arrested and convicted, and I believe that he can have MySpace, he can have cable, he can get a college degree, he can father 12 children. But he'll never walk out a free man.
And I also believe that you are all pathetic, because you never saw his dark side, and don't believe it existed.
Good night to all, and get a life, all of you.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 22 2007 @ 9:55PMFrank, I don't really know who you are or where you come from... both must be nothing, but would you please stop acting like you are so sure of yourself and that you have it all together. Your attempts to assure us all otherwise are only proof that you are a very insecure individual who is easily lead by others. You say that you are at peace with yourself and that this is all for your entertainment... but you've been obviously obsessing with the idea of Byron's guilt for over 10 years now... according to your own blog posts. I understand your need for justice in this case as well. I don't mean to be condecending in calling you an idiot either. That fact is not your fault, but since we are trying to educate you to the facts... it then becomes your fault, as it is elementary logic that you refuse to yield to. You may not post another blog immediately, but I know for a fact that you will read this. You know it too. A person like you is so predictable... blindly following and never thinking for yourself. I see that you could not provide another shred of evidence like I asked of you and I thank you for that... THANK YOU for proving my point... No... you "don't got to do nuthin'"... and you can't provide the shred that I asked for. Really, Thank you. We will notify you the day that Byron walks out a free man. That will be the day that you eat every letter of every idiotic word that came out of your childish mind. Again, I know it's not your fault that you can't think for yourself at this point, but I assure you that there will come a time that you will be held accountable for your own thoughts... if only to yourself. (So, there's no need for you to defend yourself here.) I'll also have you know that my opinion in Byron's case IS, in fact, "expert". Thank you for acknowledging that fact... I do know him and his situation inside out. Also... I never said that prosecutors are evil. Just sociopaths like yourself. Being a sociopath does not entirely MEAN that one is evil. Only sociopathic. It works for prosecutors... just not for common people. And I think it is very strange how you say that you cannot speak directly for anyone in Anastasia's family, having this "intimate" knowledge that you do... but you can speak for Byron, his guilt, and for all of us pathetic losers as well?? Frank... if you were Byron, we would all be your supporters. Simple as that. Whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong. Byron's conviction is wrong and based on nothing... and deep down you do know that. ...a misguided young woman's testimony that was obviously lead by prosecution. I know how many times her story changed even if she doesn't. So if I were you, I'd stop laughing... because if things go like this, you could find yourself in the same situation as Byron. We all could. Simple as THAT.
Posted On: Wednesday, May. 23 2007 @ 1:18AMYup, this is pretty out of control. I remember reading those pages and pages of testimony from Kelly. And I remember the witness leading. I really wish I could watch it on film. It really does look obvious enough in print. After reading all the information, I find it hard to believe that the jury was unable to find reasonable doubt. I maintain that Byron is innocent and I believe that it very possible that Justin could have been the killer. It was a sad day that came to pass when the state of Missouri found a man guilty based on the "eye-witness testimony" of a crack addict with no corroborating evidence. None. Damn. What the hell ever happened to due process?
Posted On: Wednesday, May. 23 2007 @ 8:38PMFrank will not post on this blog again, and this will be my only post. Frank was a 2nd cousin of Anastasia WitbolsFeugen's, just a couple of years younger than she would have been now, and had a major crush on her when they were mid-teens. I was her godfather, and yes, I met Byron Case before Anastasia's murder, and have communicated with him on more than a few occasions before his arrest. He probably doesn't much like me, but I doubt he likes anyone from Anastasia's family. No matter.
I apologize in advance for the length of this. If you thought Frank was long-winded, I can beat him easily.
The story that started all this was, as I read it, about the fact that a convicted killer has a MySpace page. Simple enough. Kind of bizarre, considering much of the content of the page, but not all that unusual when you think of it -- I'm sure there are dozens of cases of the same on MySpace.
Prisons, even maximum security ones, hold many prisoners who will eventually return to the real world. I don't have trouble with giving them cable and health care, as I'd rather they be happy to rejoin society than be totally cheesed off at the world when that time comes, and if lifers get some of the same privileges, so be it. Deal with it.
Do I care that Byron Case has a MySpace page? No. Not at all. Do I think it's appropriate what he puts on it? Does it matter whether I do or not? That was a rhetorical question; don't bother answering.
Do I believe, as apparently Frank does, that you're all pathetic fools? I don't know your ages, your backgrounds, your individual stories, so the answer to that would be on a case to case basis. I _do_ think you're wrong in your beliefs, but then you think I am, so we're even on that score.
Do I believe Byron Case is a sociopath? Again, do you care what I believe?
Since most of this discussion has been _way_ off the topic of the original blog, I will now continue that trend.
I've maintained Anastasia's memorial for nine years and still do, but I now have a little help on things from Frank.
I don't necessarily approve of Frank's bombast, but I have to agree with some of his sentiments, but with some of my own comments. He called me to let me know what was going on last night, and I asked him to stop posting any further.
I set up the memorial website the month after Anastasia's murder, and it predates Case's arrest and conviction by 3 1/2 years. I put up the information about Byron Case ONLY in response to what we consider unwarranted attacks and unprovable claims from his web site. There are two sides to every argumnet, and this is ours.
After the arrest of Byron Case, we started getting anonymous messages on the memorial guestbook demanding -- yes, demanding -- that we provide proof of why this "young man" is guilty. The messages increased to the level of spam after his conviction, and also grew in their vitriol. Nearly all were anonymous.
I've also received angry and argumentative emails from Aaron Vermeullen and Anna Hunsicker, who apparently object to there being a different view than theirs. Disagree if you like, but the First Amendment applies to me just as much as to them.
For quite awhile after the arrest and conviction, we had only news stories about it, but we kept getting our guestbook spammed by Case's family and friends. I got argumentative letters from Aaron Vermeulen, who made wilder and wilder claims and threats about what he was going to put on HIS website, and I put up our response ONLY in response to his claims. I later started receiving angry, argumentative emails from Anna Hunsicker, who objected to my web site, and who also doesn't much like me. I have to admit I am tired of such attacks, and when Don Buchwalter sent his emails, we made use of Frank's autobot to let him know that there's a new sheriff in town, and that the spam will stop. Mr. Buchwalter's response was to deny he made any contact -- we looked at the headers of the emails, and they came from him on three different days -- and attack us for our "attack" against him. I looked up his MySpace site today, but apparently it's closed to anyone who is not a "friend", which to me would be a self-defeating act, if you're trying to get the word out.
No matter whether you believe Byron Case got a raw deal or what, I want you all to understand that sending emails and leaving messages in a guestbook trying to argue with the family of a murder victim on behalf of her convicted killer goes beyond simply inappropriate. It's just wrong. You have your web site, we have ours. Say what you want on yours, we'll say what we want on ours. If you don't like it, tough, because that's what you'd say to us were roles reversed. Case's argument is with the courts, NOT with the victim's family.
Someone here claimed to actually be an "expert" in this. If that is true, why is that person not working on Byron Case's legal team? And why would an "expert" pronounce that "Prosecutors are trained to be sociopaths"?
That same person demanded that he or she be shown "one shred of evidence" to prove Case's guilt. Here's where I'm almost in agreement with Frank, that there are some real fools here. No one has to show YOU any evidence. It was shown to a jury, and the jury decided Case's guilt. Both the presiding judge and the Appeals court agreed that a verdict could have gone any way, but the jury made its choices on who it would believe and who it would not.
Tell me, are you the same person who was demanding proof from us way back before the trial?
If Byron Case's conviction were so obviously wrong as you all feel, why hasn't the Innocence Project jumped right on board? Why have Case's first appeals all been procedural? If this were such an obvious case, he'd have drawn some REAL support, not just a couple websites and this relative handful of supporters.
Those were questions for you to answer for yourselves. I've heard more than enough over the last six years from supporters of Byron Case who are all so sure of his innocence and that I'm going to hell for my sins; I will not check back here after this, because I'm really not any more interested in your opinion than you are in mine.
Let's all just be honest on that count, OK?
Posted On: Wednesday, May. 23 2007 @ 10:27PMPatrick, although I still don't agree with you, you seem to be one of the few people against Case who has any sense. I'm pretty sure you'll check back on this blog anyways, but that's neither here nor there. I'll have you know there IS a huge team of people working on Byron's case... it's just not my place to tell you any details concerning it. And yes... I am in contact with them. You know a "jury" is made of of 12 common folk just like you and I. They are just as subject to mind-games of prosecutors as anyone else and are not fully trained in law before they sit on a jury. Most jury members are absolutely clueless about court procedure. I say prosecutors are trained sociopaths because they are. Trained to win their arguement at the expense of anyone and anything in their way. It is their only job: to convince you of their case, as a lawyer for the state. Which brings me to another point... I just wanted to be shown "a shred of evidence" against Byron besides what we'll call "testimony". There are no hard facts against him at all and you know it. I am fully aware that a jury convicted him. Based solely on this "testimony" alone. Juries have been swayed wrongly before. People have truely been wrongfully convicted of crimes they didn't commit... right? So it's not impossible for it to happen. Everyone knows this. The evidence in this case does NOT prove beyond a reasonable doubt at all, so even you must admit that there is at least a possibility (no matter how small you want to say it is...) of Byron's innocence. And if it's just about Byron having a MySpace page... you're right. Who gives a shit? I agree with you on that. Thanks. ~Jamie (...any typos should be blamed on tiredness...)

Posted On: Thursday, May. 24 2007 @ 1:49PMI am the uncle of Byron. I have been present in Byron's life throughout his youth. I have been quiet on this and would like to speak my peace. I also was at his 3-day murder trial. I was left with many questions unanswered. It was never proved who pulled the trigger! No confession was given! No DNA was admitted as evidence linking it to Byron! The public defender was inexperienced enough as to not being aggressive enough to seek the truth! That is for the victim and the accused! I do believe that the sole accuser who witnessed all that went down, according to her testimony, did nothing to warn the victim! She did not try to stop it at all. And if it went down as she claimed, held it from authorities for years. She claims Byron is the killer and she is walking Free! Convenient for both the Prosecuting department and the partner in crime,according to testimony! The question in the role of the boyfriend of the victim would be pondered! What role did he really have in this crime, according to this murder trial? I believe Byron's unique lifesyle in the eyes of others, is not grounds enough to convict him without prove that he actually cause the death of the victim. On this side of the spectrum, the accussed family and friends are seeking closure, so that this can finally be put to rest once and for all! My sympathy does go out to Family of Anastasia and to their lost of there love one! I could only imagine how horrible it is to lose my daughter. Unbearable! David
Posted On: Sunday, May. 27 2007 @ 9:05AMTo suggest, let alone claim, as Mr. Frank has done, that I have not wrestled with doubt is an insult to my intelligence. I have read the discovery and the trial transcript up and down, and in the past I was intimately familiar with many of the people involved in this case; I am not a blind follower of Byron. I have a baccalaureate degree in Political Science with a dual minor in Criminal Justice and History, I attended university on a full scholarship and graduated with honors, and I currently work as a 911 dispatcher and am applying to be a police officer. I have analyzed this case from the perspective of a friend, a student, and one who works in the Criminal Justice field, and to this day I still do not believe that my friend Byron killed my friend Stasia, and I also do not understand how the jury came to a guilty verdict. My father, who is a lieutenant and has over thirty-five years of experience on the police force, personally believes that Byron may have murdered Stasia, but does not understand how the jury ever found him guilty either, because he does not believe there was enough evidence to convict him. The fact is that, in general, I trust cops and I trust prosecutors, and I have faith in the Criminal Justice system. I believe that most people who are in jail are there because they are guilty, i.e. Mumia Abdul Jamal murdered Daniel Faulkner, and that those who are innocent shall avail themselves of the processes in place and achieve justice. This process is long and arduous, and what Byron needs most is the support of his friends and family. Contrary to The Pitch, Byron does not need another friend, but there is nothing wrong with courting open minds in the public and gaining additional support for his cause. This is the twenty-first century -- to not avail ourselves of every possible avenue for communication is insanity, even if it is the insidious teenybopper bandwagon that is MySpace.
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 29 2007 @ 3:48AMTo be honest, I am still surprised to this day that a man old enough to be my father can sport the most egregious bias while claiming to purport The Truth. I object to the view of Patrick Rock because it is wrong, and he cannot produce evidence that I stated he could not express his opinion. I also personally object to the man himself, because he is an arrogant, nasty liar who has never had any interest in promoting communication or cooperation between the websites, who continues to report unfactual items on the Internet, and who continues to attempt to defame my character simply because I diagree. The man likes to be mean for the sake of being mean, and to expect me to respect him after some of the things he has said to me is nothing short of insanity.
It is beyond me how anyone can trust a man to be honest in his opinion about the case when he cannot get even the most basic things right: he cannot or refuses to spell my name correctly (sometimes it is Ann, sometimes it is Huntsicker, sometimes it is Anna Hunsicker); insists that I set up freebyroncase.com with Aaron Vermeulen shortly after his sentencing when I was not originally involved; and insists that I am lying or exaggerating about having been one of Stasia's closest friends, even though as much is substantiated in the interviews with Francesca WitbolsFeugen and Betsy Owens -- and that is only the beginning!
I did not create freebyroncase.com; I merely re-designed it, re-organized it, and contributed by editing and adding information, as well as performing mundane tasks, such as scanning. Even though I have not been involved with the website for quite some time now, Patrick Rock continues to associate me with it, and, more specifically, continues to associate me with Aaraon Vermeulen. To this day he has produced no proof that Aaron Vermeulen or Evelyn Case spammed his guestbook, and to this day he insists on associating me with such shenanigans, even though they occurred before I ever signed on.
Patrick Rock forgets our first encounter, insisting that I beleagured him with unprovoked angry, argumentative e-mails from the beginning and that his replies were of the upmost professionalism. The fact is the first e-mail I ever sent him was a response to a statement on his website --
-- which refers to the photos of Stasia I had posted along with noting the fact that she had used drugs in the past (and as much can be substantiated in the interviews with Francesca WitbolsFeugen, Betsy Owens, and Tom Barnett).My response was as follows (and I re-post it here, because it is an accurate today and it was then):
Argumentative? Sure, but only insofar as he was to me/us on his website. Angry? Not quite.Our communications degenerated from this point on, and he subjected me to a number of nasty insults and epithets, and rarely substantiated his claims. After a while, I simply gave up, because the man was taxing my sanity. However, having read the discovery, none of this should not have surprised me since Sgt. Kilgore contacted him on 12-17-97 and included the following in his report:
How little things change. Posted On: Tuesday, May. 29 2007 @ 3:49AMI think Byron is actually lucky that his case is still making the papers. I may be too diplomatic here but just getting yourself out there might drum up support. So, Peter Rugg, whether misguided or right on the mark should be given his due for the publicity.
Posted On: Wednesday, May. 30 2007 @ 4:43PMOver the past year, I have spent many hours reading through both Anastasia’s and Bryon’s websites and can honestly say that I am not 100% convinced of Bryon’s guilt. There truly does seem to be many unanswered questions about just exactly what happened to Anastasia, some so serious that I don’t feel that I could have ever voted guilty as a jury member.
Regardless of what one may think about a person like Byron Case having his own on blog spot on MySpace (the original topic of this discussion), neither side of this issue, whether “pro” or “anti” Byron, does their argument any good by engaging in the sort of personal attacks I’ve read here.
Here is to hoping that both families involved in this horrible tragedy can find the truth, justice and peace that they deserve.

Posted On: Sunday, Jun. 3 2007 @ 8:47AMThere IS an unvarnished truth!!!!!
Posted On: Sunday, Jun. 3 2007 @ 8:47AMWell, Jamie, you were correct. Eventually, I checked back, but that was only because one of Anastasia’s sisters read this and decided that I’d been slandered and should respond. To make her happy, I will do so, though not with the vitriol she feels I should use. It will, however be long-winded – this IS, after all, a serious discussion – so apologies in advance for that. Before you go further, Jamie, it is not you who is accused of slandering me.
I’ve seen Byron Case’s latest appeal, and the response from the Attorney-General’s Office, and I doubt that it will do any better in the appeals court than it did in the local venue. IIRC, a person convicted of non-capital First Degree Murder has 10 years to appeal, and Byron Case was sentenced about five years ago. He’s halfway through his appeals. This is just another year gone.
It’s ironic the way you describe juries without taking into account that it works both ways, that the prosecution as well as the defense might try to play mind games with them. You say that prosecutors are “trained to win their argument at the expense of everyon and anything in their way” without acknowledging that whatever is true for a prosecutor is also true for a defense attorney.
I have the advantage over most of you, having met one of the jurors in the Case trial. A week or so after the trial, I was approached in a restaurant by an individual who recognized Anastasia’s portrait on a small medallion I wear, and they identified themselves. It is probably not fair that I got this information, but that is how it is. No laws were broken, no ethics or rules violated. This occurred after the conviction.
What I learned from the juror is that they DID believe Kelly Moffett’s testimony, especially that it matched forensic evidence. If Kelly had described Byron firing a .22 handgun at Anastasia, the jury would not have believed her, because forensic evidence indicated a higher caliber. The angle at which the bullet entered her skull made it tremendously more likely to have been a long-barrel weapon than a short one. Kelly DID NOT SEE THIS EVIDENCE before she testified, whether you believe it or not, and the fact that her description of the crime matched information that could only have been known by a witness was convincing to the jury.
The forensic evidence also made it clear that Anastasia had not struggled in any way with her killer, and the Medical Examiner knew from the position of her body that she had not even had time to throw her hands up in defense.
What that evidence told the jury – again, it matters not whether you believe it – is that Anastasia knew her killer. Described by both prosecution and defense as a feisty, combative person, she made no attempt to struggle or even turn and run. In other words, she was NOT killed by some random killer, which is a necessary part of Byron Case’s alibi. In fact, it would have taken so many wildly improbable events for her to end up in that cemetery from the place from which Case said she started, his alibi was simply disbelieved by the jury.
The juror also said that Case’s tacit admission was a key point, that without it the eyewitness testimony would not have stood by itself. You don’t think the taped conversation revealed anything. The jury listened to the tape, and heard both the prosecution’s take on it as well as the defense attorney and Byron Case himself, and they believed the prosecution.
You find the eyewitness to have been unreliable. You find the forensic evidence unconvincing. You have an entirely different read on what went on in the taped conversation. You want more evidence. I’m not surprised, but the court and jury already found sufficient evidence. I believe that you will ALWAYS want more evidence.
I asked earlier a rhetorical question as to why the Innocence Project hasn’t jumped on board this case. The simple answer is that it isn’t such a simple case of “railroading” as you paint. These people work with the guilty and innocent every day, and they aren’t helping here. Try to understand that your case is not as strong as you’d like to think it is, or there would have been help pouring in.
The main points made to discredit Kelly Moffett on the Case web site lack any documented proof. No testimony from old friends who knew her before she knew Case – or even WHILE she knew Case, or even AFTER the murder – to testify that she was a heavy drug user. The only word we have is Byron Case’s, and that’s not exactly a disinterested party. If Anna Hunsicker believes I should substantiate any claim should a viewer challenge it, her website has done a poor job of that itself.
When the jury learned that Byron Case had shared the pre-trial documents with defense witnesses – allowing them to know what everyone was likely to say, and tailor their testimony – jurors had no trouble believing that ALL of Byron Case’s witnesses were tainted in that way. It was a gross misstep by the defendant – NOT his attorney, but himself – that did the harm to him there. It put a big question in everyone’s mind about his honesty, and that of his witnesses.
And considering that one witness, a friend of Case’s, got busted for trying to implicate Justin Bruton in his testimony when he had never said a thing about it to police, 10 days after the murder, and THEN had to admit that he’d read a lot of the pre-trial documents, gave them good reason to doubt ALL defense testimony.
And for those of you who STILL think Justin Bruton should have been implicated, you need to read the website www.stasia.org/case_against/questions.html
I keep seeing things like “I’m not 100% sure of his guilt” or “can’t you admit there is at least a possibility”, when that doesn’t matter. The concept of “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” does not need 100%; that is not the way the law works. I really wonder if anyone really has read my web site when they ask a question like this, as we make that point as clear as we can on more than one occasion. To be honest, I had not completely made up my mind of his guilt until the trial, but I always believed 100% that he had guilty knowledge of it, that if he hadn’t pulled the trigger, then he was still protecting the one who had. But now, yes I am 100% certain of his guilt.
As for Case having a MySpace site, I don’t give a damn whether Byron Case has one or not, as long as he does not slander anyone in the process. Which leads to the next subject . . .
Posted On: Sunday, Jun. 3 2007 @ 11:46PMI offered a couple of years ago to dismantle my entire “Case Against Case” web site in exchange for the Case web site (A) taking down all documents and statements attacking Anastasia or her family, or from her family but not involved in the trial itself, such as references to insurance policies in an effort to case aspersions on her father; (B) removing attacks on others that make claims having nothing to do with the legal case or which cannot be documented. Anna Hunsicker refused to deal with me in good faith. I was willing to converse with her if we could do it civilly, but she tossed out a few gratuitous insults while cutting off contact. I’d share them, but she specifically made it clear that I could not do that.
I said that she didn’t like me much. I may have understated that a bit.
As you can tell, she and I go to opposite poles. Where I go for understatement, she goes for overstatement. I’m going to have to correct a few things here.
Contrary to her belief, I do not consider myself arrogant, nasty, or a liar, nor do anyone else who knows me personally. Well, maybe a bit arrogant; but I AM a pretty good programmer. But I do think that Anna has shown a casual acquaintance with the truth in many points of this matter.
If Anna is no longer associated with the website, that’s a surprise, because her name is still listed as owner, and whether or not she still keeps it up, she is responsible for its current shape, so I address my comments to that fact, and to the fact that she had it in her power to compromise but chose not to.
I take some umbrage at her angry claim as to my misspelling her name. Of course I misspelled it, and of course I did so deliberately. And of course she knows exactly why I did so. My name is Patrick, not “Pat”, and I have used my full name since before she was a zygote. She knew this, as she addressed most of her emails to me correctly, but kept referring to me as “Pat” on her website. I spelled her name “Ann” to get her attention. When she angrily wrote “Anna, NOT Ann”, I replied that I knew that already, but then she knew she was making a subtle insult at me. I’ll say now what I said then: Glass Houses. You cannot assume the moral high ground when you've already take the first shot. It’s just Kettle-Pot name-calling. If she’s going to demand professionalism and civility, she should have shown it first herself.
Was I being the “upmost” professional with Anna? Well, I’m never “professional” unless we’re talking about Java or C#. I’m a programmer, NOT a professional correspondent. I will say that I showed Anna a lot more civility than she has ever shown me. The truth is that I believe that she expected incivility from me, and saw it in everything I wrote, whether true or not, and responded in that attitude.
It also shows that she hasn’t looked at my web site close to a year now. If there’s a misspelling there, it is purely accidental. However, my name continues to be spelled incorrectly on her site.
Anna listed her entire CV in her first post, and says she analyzed this case carefully, but what she didn’t say is that her mind was made up long before that analysis began. It was made up before Byron Case was even charged with murder.
As for “attempting to defame” her character, I will point out that the attacks from the Case website against Anastasia and her family (which include me) were there BEFORE I put up my website. All I have put up about Ms. Hunsicker is as follows:
(A)that she authored the website; while Aaron Vermeullen put up some of the worst attacks himself when he first set up the site, Anna lateer claimed sole responsibility for the site and made changes herself, so I believe that I can safely call her the author, and at the point where I do, it is in reference to something that she did indeed write herself;
(B) that she did not attend the trial at all, which is an important point when noting the “points of contention”, that the two people who are most responsible for the website put up those “points” without having attended and having not yet read the transcript; I was making the point that these “points” were formulated without a careful review of the trial, yet they still stick to them as if they were handed down on stone tablets;
(C) that her claims of Kelly Moffett’s “heavy drug use” are baseless, as in being nothing but a case of he said/she said; to this date, she has yet to show the slightest proof of her claims, except her own word;
(D) that Anastasia said it was Anna who made an effort to reunite her and Case after a major split between the two; Anna says she doesn’t remember doing so, but I made it clear that it was what Anastasia had told ME. As far as me saying she was not Anastasia’s friend, I base that on two things. First, how many Anastasia’s friends stood with Byron Case? Anna and Tara McDowell, who were both more Byron Case’s friends than Anastasia’s. They took sides. I think she forfeited the right to call Anastasia a friend, especially after the attacks on Anastasia from the website.
Second, I used Anastasia’s diary for reference. Anastasia thought Anna insincere and a “drama queen”, and never forgave her for (in her words) “ruining” her plans to move out of her parents’ house before graduation.
I said those few things about Anna to make it clear that the people authoring the website were not experts in any manner, and were making most of their claims without any basis in fact, only belief. Despite Anna’s declaiming how she has carefully analyzed this case, most of what was put up there went up BEFORE she made any analysis.
As for that diary, Anastasia was brutally open and honest with it, never expecting anyone else to read it. She kept observations about those around her, secrets they had shared, drug buys that she knew being made, drugs her friends were abusing, who was screwing whom behind whose back, name it. Anna, if I had wanted to attack you, there were a couple of juicy pages from that diary that could have been used, and you couldn’t have done anything about it after the documents full of speculation that you have up. I chose not to because there was nothing to gain from it. I could have attacked Byron Case’s mother and father, just with what he put on one of his own websites before his arrest, and his remarks about them that Anastasia recorded in her diary. I did not, because there was nothing to gain by it.
I did not testify at trial, nor did either of Anastasia’s parents. The insurance policies taken out on Anastasia and her sisters are irrelevant to the case. Anastasia’s drug use was, which was influenced heavily by her relationship with Justin Bruton, was likewise irrelevant to Byron Case's legal case. They were all put up for a single purpose, to potentially embarrass or defame people who were not involved with the trial. Regardless of who chose what content to use on the web site, they are up there now by Anna’s power, and with no pertinent reason but to hurt others. You reap what you sow, and in this case, I would still owe you a few more hits.
I listed information about Case for the same reason an opposing attorney might: to impeach his character. His character IS a major consideration in the issue, and he’s no longer the defendant, but has been convicted. Before the murder, he had already been convicted of felony burglary. He was by his own admission a heavy cocaine user. At 18, he picked up a girlfriend who was four years underage and helped her run away and hide from her parents. Most of Anastasia’s friends in high school -- and I got this information directly from them long before Case's arrest -- considered him a creep because of his lying and backstabbing. This could not have been stated during trial, but that time is past. He’s been found guilty. Is this gratuitous? If I were doing it just to make fun of someone, yes. But Byron Case is a convicted killer, and there are people who want us to believe he is a misunderstood boy next door.
While she makes the claim that I put up “unfactual” items without proof, I sent her copies of Evelyn Case’s spamming of the website. She read the messages, and she can recognize the style, which was identical to the notes that Ms. Case left on the Case website, except they weren’t so angry. She keeps insisting that I blame her for every instance in which one or more of Byron Case’s supporters did something or attacked us, and says I’m being mean. She’s just being thin-skinned and obtuse. She says she asked me for proof; she never asked me anything except rhetorical questions, as in “have you no shame?” I have the emails also.
As a point of fact, Anna herself printed a speculation from Byron Case accusing Anastasia’s father of the crime, which could have left her open for a libel suit. She took it down quickly, but the fact she put such stuff up should give one pause about how carefully she considered anything, and how much right she has to be angry at anyone else.
I noticed that most of the other posters have now gone to using pseudonyms or just hiding in anonymity. One apparently doesn’t understand the distance between second cousins, or maybe doesn’t understand what constitutes “incest”. In any case, you again lose the moral high ground to complain about Frank’s tirades and then make gratuitous insults yourself. I think most of the anonymous writers are probably only one or two different people just trying to inflate their numbers. I’m guessing that Aaron Vermeullen may have made an appearance on one or two.

What you wrote is certainly true re the law and the concept of “reasonable doubt” and since you are referring to the words in my post, let me clarify my statement: When I wrote that I am not 100% sure of his guilt, what I meant was I personally would have had enough *reasonable doubt* to *not* to vote for a guilty conviction.
I base my statement on my reading of and interpretation of the evidence found on both the Anastasia and Byron Case websites.

...I seem to remember reading in the transcript (for one source) about how the forensic investigator (who was an intern filling in while the "main man" was away on vacation) was unable to even make a speculation as to what type of gun was used... so there was no official opinion: no official forensic evidence: no evidence... (except the "railroaded" (focused) confession made by Kelly after she'd made staments on three seperate occasions that three different guns were used... then chose to stick with the one she was told to !!BY WHOM!!?). And now it is impossible to go back and have a professional forensics investigator find out for sure, isn't it?
Posted On: Monday, Jun. 4 2007 @ 5:05PMI guess it doesn't matter though that Kelly's convicting statement was under oath, and the other conflicting statements weren't.
Seems to leave just a little itsy-bitsy piece of a reasonable doubt... which a jury is supposed to be convinced beyond.

You make a big deal of this, here and on your site. It's meaningless. If this was proof of murder, there'd hardly be any free people left.

Jamie, you have that garbled. Dr. Young, Jackson County Chief Medical Examiner, performed the autopsy on Anastasia, but was unavailable to testify at the trial. Dr. Chase Blanchard MD, who had given expert testimony in Jackson County trials before this one, reviewed the autopsy file, the investigator's report, a toxicology report, and photographs of the scene before tesitying. Her testimony, cross-examination, and redirect may be found on pages 763-799 of the trial transcript. While someone did indeed "fill in" for the "main man", it was at trial, and she was definitely NOT an intern.
If this is one of those things that convinced you of Case's innocence, then you'll have to reconsider . . . yeah, after five years, THAT's a real likelihood, right?
Mary Thompson challenged my description of Case's character and criminal history as "meaningless", as not being proof of murder. I did not claim it as proof of murder, Mary. I claimed it as evidence to impeach Mr. Case's character and believability. There is a difference. If you plan to challenge my words, please at least try to understand the point. If I'm unclear, I apologize, but I believe I made that point as clearly as I could.
Curt Rowlett clarified his earlier statement to say that he would not have had enough reasonable doubt to not vote for a conviction. Curt, I think understand what you tried to say, but it probably was that you would have had enough reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case to have voted for acquittal.
I respect your opinion, Curt, but again, you weren't at the trial, and reading parts of the transcript and a few cherry-picked documents is not the same thing as witnessing the testimony and personally viewing the evidence, as the jury did. From my notes of my conversation with the juror with whom I spoke, I can tell you that all jury ballots were unanimous, each vote. They did not do this lightly. They weighed the evidence, deliberated with each other, and then voted unanimously that Byron Case killed Anastasia WitbolsFeugen. They then deliberated further, and voted unanimously that he had killed her with premeditation, as they had to decide between First and Second Degree Murder. They then voted unanimously to find him guilty of Armed Criminal Action as well, though that was a foregone conclusion once the first "guilty" verdict was made.
"Anonymous" keeps posting the various Case websites, as if repeating themselves will make people who view this want to see it more than they did the first time they looked at these posts. I think your advertising bump is over, but it's either Aaron or Don just hiding again, and telling them that does no good. Well, they could save some time and trouble by putting them all on one post. I'm not sure, but this might have been what Frank was talking about when he used the word "pathetic". I'll have to ask him.
I can't keep doing this. It is tiring, and serves no real purpose. I am not going to convince any of you, and you will certainly not convince me.
Unless Anna comes back to toss out more vitriol, I probably won't comment again.
Posted On: Monday, Jun. 4 2007 @ 9:05PMThank God for small favors!!
Posted On: Monday, Jun. 4 2007 @ 11:56PMI'm working on a post... :0
Hope to hear from you soon "Pat Rock"
By the way I don't need to post "Anonymous"
Why...?
Because I'm not a fucking cunt, that's why!
Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers!
"Upon approaching the circle drive I observer Mr. Witbolsfeugen to be standing with his hands on his hips standing directly over the "exact location" where I had found Anastasia's body on 10-23-97. Mr. WitbolsFeugen was looking at the ground for approximately five seconds before turning around and seeing me. Upon seeing me he appeared startled and turned around walking very quickly towards my police vehicle with his left hand tucked firmly in his pocket. Mr. WitbolsFeugen approached me and asked "Am I close" referring to where the body was found. I again advised Mr. WitbolsFeugen that he should contact the detective unit for specific information. And he spontaneously stated " What are you guys doing following me. I'm not the bad guy. You guys should be out looking for the bad guy."
I then attempted to calm him down by advising him that we were there to check his well-being and that we planned to do all we could to bring closure to his grief. Mr. WitbolsFeugen then began advising the following information: At 2330 hrs, 10-22-97, he was looking for Anastasia when he stopped at the gate of Mount Washington Cemetery (where he had dropped her off at 1630 hrs, this date, with her friends). He stated that the gate was locked and pondered for a moment, hopping the fence, to go into the cemetery searching for his daughter because he sensed she was in real danger. At that time he advised he heard a loud gunshot, possibly from a large caliber rifle, and he immediately turned in the direction of the Cimarron Apartments, believing the noise came from that direction. Mr. WitbolsFeugen stated at that time he clapped his hands together and yelled "Boom" "There goes the neighborhood" Mr. WitbolsFeugen then stated "At that time I knew my daughter was dead" He stated he then began driving back and forth on Truman Road searching for his daughter but never checked Lincoln Cemetery."
"I observed Mr. WitbolsFeugen's demeanor to change when he began talking about the gunshot and described his actions upon hearing the gunshot. He appeared to switch from grieving parent to excited and colorful, describing in detail his emotion upon hearing the gunshot.
I then reassured Mr. WitbolsFeugen that we were doing everything to solve the case and advised him that he needed to contact the Sherrif's Department should he remember any further information par tined to the case. I then began leaving the area and observed him to walk away from the area where the body was located."
http://freebyroncase.com/documents/robertwitbolsfeugen/reports/epperson_report.pdf
Oh yea I almost forgot to mention...
Didn't Diane WitbolsFeugen drop off Anastasia at Mount Washington Cemetary? According to her statement she gave to the police on 10-23-97.
http://freebyroncase.com/documents/diane/statement01/diane_marshall_statement_01.pdf
So isn't that contradictory to Robert WitbolsFeugen's statement that he had dropped her off?
Amazing how Byron's "Court Appointed Attorney" failed to catch this. Simply amazing. I understand now why Anastasia's parents didn't testify at Byron's trial. It would have shown "reasonable doubt" with a shining fucking spot light. Funny how the court appoints the attorney for the defendant. I wonder whom Horton Lance, was actualy working for?
Food for thought. More soon I promise! :0 AV

I could not disagree with you more. I dare say anyone who wants to study this case at this point probably has better access to information than the jury seems to have been allowed to actually hear. And in my opinion, being at the trial means little as far as the historical court record, police reports and established facts of the case are concerned. Anyone can render an opinion based solely on those documents alone.
I must say at this point that I truly believe that both Anastasia’s and Byron’s websites have only limited amounts of usable information that is not skewed toward refuting accusations and counter-accusations leveled by one side of this dispute against the other. As such, both sides can be accused of “cherry picking” information to present to the public.
As such, I limited my reading primarily to the actual court documents and police reports because at least those appear to be less biased.
It is understandable that you have such strong feelings about this case given the amount of emotions you have invested in it. But in all honesty I must say to you that it is my opinion that because you are so emotionally involved in this, it colors your objectivity to a large degree. That fact alone would have disqualified you or any other family member from sitting on the jury.
As an independent “third party,” I feel that unlike someone with an emotional investment in the case, I can be put aside my subjective interpretations when reading the evidence, something that it always required of a good juror.
Thanks,
Curt Rowlett,

...that reminds me of the statement I wanted to make to Patrick about the court appointed "lawyer" of Byron's (when I was speaking about prosecutors being sociopaths). You're right Patrick. They could all be considered sociopaths if you wish. The court appointed "lawyers" are, however, the ones appointed to indigent people. They are not the seasoned veterans that prosecutors are. They are fresh out of law school usually and have little court room experience. This IS why they are where they are... to gain experience... or they wouldn't be there. They'd be in a law firm, or be prosecutors or judges. So, if you were really wondering about the answer to Aaron's question, Patrick, about who Horton Lance was working for... well. He works for the state of Missouri as a Pubic Defender (or "Pretender", we might say). Horton Lance draws his paycheck from the same source as the prosecutor does. Byron's defense lawyer works for the same entity that employs his "enemy".
Posted On: Wednesday, Jun. 6 2007 @ 12:43AMThe Two Wolves
“Words of Wisdom”
An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life.
He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me...it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied..... “The one you feed.”
Posted On: Wednesday, Jun. 6 2007 @ 12:45AMPlease forgive my comment from the other night. Patrick Rock really does bring out the worst in me. Plus I was drunk off my ass per usual. Just ask Anna. She knows what an alcoholic prick I can really be.
Evidently we all have inner demons to face.
Anyhoo...
I found this old e-mail that I had sent to "Patrick Rock" on
"Wednesday, June 02, 2004 12:22 AM"
Thought it might be of interest... Maybe...
It follows...
Hey.... last time I wrote you, I told you that I would never write you again. I just thought this might be of interest to you. I actually found this on the internet. Maybe you could add it to the rest of Anastasia's poems. I thought it was weird that it's not on her memorial website.
POEMS OF: Anastasia Elizabeth WitbolsFeugen (Victim of Murder)
Dreaming comes so easily
'Cause it's all that I've known
True love is a fairy tale
I'm damaged, so how would I know
I'm scared and I'm alone
I'm ashamed
And I need for you to know
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Healing comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Will anyone get close to me?
I'm damaged, as I'm sure you know
There's mending for my soul
An ending to this fear
Forgiveness for a woman who was stronger
I was just a little girl, but I can't go back
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Sounds post worthy to me......
Also might mention that on the Answering the "Unanswered" questions
QUESTION 22
22. Throughout the course of the Sheriff's Department investigation, Anastasia's father accused many people of having a hand in his daughter's murder. He even gave blatantly false information to investigators on several occasions. Why would the parent of a murdered child willfully mislead authorities?
Answer: This question was withdrawn when the questioner was asked to be more specific about what he considered "blatantly false information". This was one of the more slanderous accusations made outside of those leveled against Kelly Moffett. We were never informed of what this "blatantly false information" was, and have no idea of what that could be.
You now know that the blatantly false information is: ( and might want to post on your website now )
1. Who dropped off Anastasia at Mt. Washington Cemetery? Bob WitbolsFeugen or Diane Marshall?
Epperson Report Slide 2 where "Mr.WitbolsFeugen stated that he had dropped his daughter off at the West entrance to Mt. Washington Cemetery on Truman Rd, at 1630 hrs, 10-22-97, with her friends" v. Diane Marshall Statement 1 where WitbolsFeugen's wife, Diane Marshall, states in Slide 1, "She...requested...me to take her to Mt. Washington Cemetery;" Slide 2 where the interviewer asks, "Justin wasn't there when you dropped her off?" and Diane replies, "No he wasn't;" Slide 2 shows that Diane Marshall dropped Anastasia off.
2. Are we to believe that Bob WitbolsFeugen supposedly saw both of Byron's cars the night of the murder?
In an interview on 02-19-98 with Pat Rock, Robert WitbolsFeugen's friend and the webmaster of Anastasia's memorial website, Pat Rock stated to Sgt. Kilgore that he had taken photographs of Byron's car two or three weeks prior. "Mr. Rock stated when Mr. WitbolsFeugen saw the photographs 'bells and whistles' went off and Mr. WitbolsFeugen immediately remembered seeing this car on Truman Rd. the night of 10-22-97."
Supposedly WitbolsFeugen had seen Byron's white '90 Pontiac 6000LE on Truman Road that night (impossible, because it was at Burch Engine Service for a bad water pump at that time). See Report 09-10-98 and Report 092198. The work on Byron's car was completed 10-28-97 after having been there for a period. Whether or not Byron's car was in for repair is irrelevant anyway, since his accuser's "evidence" rests solely on Kelly's testimony, which states that they were all in Justin's car the night of the murder. He changed this story many times. Later versions mention a long procession of cars moving away from the direction of Lincoln Cemetery and Byron's red Merkur XR4Ti (which he didn't even own until July of '98) being one of them. He even went so far as to compile detailed lists of the cars' colors and license plate numbers, which he swore were accurate despite many months having passed since the night in question. There were more details added to the story as time went on, but he maintained that he saw Byron racing down the road "white as a sheet."
Refer to the various statements he made from 1998 onward for the myriad falsities Bob WitbolsFeugen attempted to mislead JCSD with. Of particular interest, see the 02.06.98 Report, 04.01.98 Report, ***07.08.98 Interview***, ***06.24.99 Interview***, and 11.24.99 Interview.
3. Where was Bob WitbolsFeugen on the night of the murder and at what times?
WitbolsFeugen also lied to police about when he got off work that night, first claiming that he was working until 9:00, then saying he was at a friend's house, then claimed to have been at a meeting after leaving work. Nothing we could find in the discovery mentions anything about his alibis having been investigated.
Food for thought..... sleep tight.... don't let the bed bugs bite.
As always, your drunk friend,
Aaron Vermeulen :)

Posted On: Wednesday, Jun. 6 2007 @ 10:25PMAll of that is fine. Except he admitted on the phone that he did it.
Posted On: Wednesday, Jun. 6 2007 @ 10:59PMWhat did Byron say again on the alleged taped confession between him and Kelly Moffett? I forget so easily. Alcohol is evidently killing my brain cells off in record numbers. :) AV
By the way I originally scanned Byron's latest appeal filed November 12th, 2006 by, Stephen M. Patton. It is not on the website yet. It is however 59.6 mb. I had accidentally scanned it in high resolution pdf format. It is forty-seven pages long. Anyone want a copy contact the webmaster at http://www.freebyroncase.com
And yes, please give "Pat Cock" (and his many aliases)a copy also. Thanks AV :0
Posted On: Thursday, Jun. 7 2007 @ 12:51AM1. Byron DID NOT make a confession. 2. To use that recording as evidence is a violation of the spirit of the Miranda Warning, and is thus a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
Kelly Moffett was acting as an agent of the police department. If the police can do an end-run around Miranda by using civilians as their interrogators, why even have Miranda?
The police department had no evidence against Byron, only the word of a self-proclaimed drug-addict. Despite the fact that certain people would have us believe that Kelly Moffett was a credible witness, the police obviously did not think so, or this recorded conversation never would have taken place. They knew, as we do, that a bus could have been driven through the holes in her story.
So let's tell it like it is: The police are pressured to bring in suspects. The courts are geared towards convictions, despite the claims of innocent until proven guilty. The law is incredibly complex, and jurors are driven more by the show that is put on by the prosecutor, than by knowledge. Judges, supposedly impartial, often give preference to prosecutors. Court appointed "defense" attorneys are often inexperienced and over-worked, and are rarely vested enough in any one case to care about it.
Is this justice?
Posted On: Thursday, Jun. 7 2007 @ 9:38AMExcerpt from Betsy Owen's statement to police taken on 11-7-97.....
http://freebyroncase.com/documents/betsyowens/betsy_owens.pdf
"Q. She did not believe in God?
A. Uh I attribute it to this one friend, Pat Rock, I checked his name on there, who is an atheist and had been kind of an unusal friend of the family, I did not approve of him. I'd been keeping the kids away from him. Bob hadn't been. It's like, one of the kids birthdays this week, and his brother told him to keep this guy away from the kids, well he was going to let them see him over at his house, he just can't, you know, Bob doesn't have the...
Q. Why would you not want...
A. Well because this guy, I would say is very angry at God because his mother died in a car accident when he was six years old, and so he did not have a mother, he had a step-mother and she was his step-mother for 40-50, 40 years, and only step-mother. But he would talk to the girls basically in terms of being against step-parents, you know, he would get them riled up and be angry at my husband, or Bob's wife, or that type of thing, he was just not healthy for them. I told one of my brothers I thought he was a latent pedophile. His brother is a convicted pedophile over in the state of Kansas."
Poor old Patrick Rock. :(
No wonder you fought so feverishly trying to get Anna and I to take down this "Police Interview" but yet claimed that we slandered the WitbolsFeugen family for leaving it up. Nice try jackass!
Is he still twitching? AV
Posted On: Thursday, Jun. 7 2007 @ 5:38PMNone of this matters now. His myspace page was deleted.
Posted On: Thursday, Jun. 7 2007 @ 5:48PMIt matters because Patrick Rock and Robert WitbolsFeugen were out falsifying evidence and misleading authorities from day one.
Plain and simple.
Why might you ask?...
TO SAVE THEIR OWN ASSES!
Byron will eventually be free.
It may take a while, but when that day comes....
Pat Rock and Robert WitbolsFeugen can take Byron's place.
Unfortunately when that time comes, I doubt anyone will care.
But I'll still be thinking of you guys!
Take care!

Another excerpt from Betsy Owen's (Anastasia's Mother)statement to police taken on 11-7-97.....
Thanks Betsy! How come you didn't testify at trial again?
"
Q. Would you be shocked or surprised if Bob had been abusing his children?
A. I'd be disappointed if the kids didn't tell me about it. The kids have been fairly well educated in school that this is something...
Q. But would it surprise you or shock you if he was? Just based on what you've told me today?
A. I don't know. Surprised, no.
Shocked, maybe yeah. Because that's you know, a higher degree of emotion. Part of me wonders well where was he when he was out looking for Anastasia, you know, what went on. But, you know, if she had been beaten to death I might have thought you know he might have had something to do with it"

I may try to set up another one. I'll build a new stand alone site on my own for him... shit, I'll buy a server if I have to at this point. No matter how long it takes... Byron will be free.

If anyone tries to convince you otherwise... please take a good look for yourself and make a rational decision based on what YOU think. Think for yourself. You'll convince yourself of Byron's innocence.
Thank you, and request to be added to the group.

Posted On: Sunday, Jun. 10 2007 @ 3:37AMI am hearing both sides here. I think this article was missing some things and some people who needed to be spoke with before it was written were not. I am an attorney who has read everything including the transcripts for this case. I am working on his appeal--one of many anyway. If anyone wants to speak with my office or wants to help get him out please let me know by sending me an e-mail or contacting me at juliej99@hotmail.com
Posted On: Sunday, Jun. 10 2007 @ 3:41PMI have rescanned Byron's latest appeal.

Unfortunately it will not by on freebyroncase for a couple of weeks.
But I have zipped it up and made room for it under my tripod account. Please feel free to download and read for yourself.

Byron was taken from us
Wrongful conviction is
kidnapping and torture
This can happen to anyone!

Let's try that again with the proper html:
The latest appeal is also available on Byron’s website.
Posted On: Wednesday, Jun. 13 2007 @ 12:27PMA few month after Byron pled guilty to stealing, Clay County reduced the crime from a class-C felony to a class-A misdemeanor.
Posted On: Thursday, Jun. 14 2007 @ 11:23AMUnder the influence of Coke one does STUPID things,his aunts house. She was not even going to press charges.
Do you think he went out one day, and said I want to do cocain? No SOMEONE had to turn him on to it.Peer pressure. Why didn't you stop him? So within that yr. he didn't just loose his friend Anastasia, (yes, they were friends) also Justin, and his father.
As far as Kelly is concerned. She lied to him and said her father was an alcoholic and she was scared of him. Byron felt sorry for her and told her she could hang with Justin and him.
Her parents ALLOWED them dating afterwards as long as she was brought home on her curfew. And she was. Byron was probably the best boyfriend that girl has ever had. He took her to her shrink back then and waited in the waitingroom etc etc
So if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Highschool dramas!!!!
Anastasia came from a disfunctional family, let's face it.
Let's let her rest in peace.

Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 5 2007 @ 5:42PMJustice was not served, Anastasia deserves justice. An innocent man is paying the price for a horrible monster's crime and it's just not right.
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 6 2007 @ 8:08AMIt would seem to me that Kelly Moffett lied under oath with an "if I can't have you, nobody can" motive. How many more times she could have changed her story and still been considered a credible witness? Maybe someday she will recant her testimony, but how "credible" would a retraction even be coming from her?
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 6 2007 @ 11:23AMExactly, but it so scary that her last testimony was even "credible". If she got away with lying on the stand (so far) how many more times do you think this scenario has happened in court? It sad to think that a hateful person/liar could get an innocent man convicted. How do we bring JUSTICE back in today's society? I believe in karma as much as I believe in Byron's innocence. Kelly will have her day.
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 6 2007 @ 1:06PMRobert WitbolsFeugen inserted himself into the murder investigation. He should have been a prime suspect.
Posted On: Friday, Sep. 7 2007 @ 5:41PMExactly!
"Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much."
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 8 2007 @ 7:17PMByron Case is the real pedophile. Kelly Moffet was only 14 years old when he began his "relationship" with her. If she was as unstable as he now claims, how can he justify the fact that he was involved with her? Pedophiles seek out vulnerable children to molest. Byron Case is no exception
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 20 2007 @ 9:41PMOk, Don, that's enough. Grow up, get a life, select a personality and stick with it.
Posted On: Friday, Sep. 21 2007 @ 12:30PMByron is not in prison for being a pedophile he is there because of a lying ex-girlfriend and a poor judicial system! FYI Kelly's parents knew their daughter was dating Byron and they did approve of it. Kelly was NOT molested.
MOLEST = To subject to unwanted or improper sexual activity.
Kelly was NOT subjected to UNWANTED sexual activity. Maybe you should think out what you write.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 22 2007 @ 7:52AMThe term pedophile is used to denote an adult who is sexually attracted to adolescents or youths below the local age of consent. Byron Case obviously has no regard for the law, as statutory rape is a crime whether the victim wants the contact or not. An underage person is legally incapable of giving consent. Those that say Kelly "wanted" it, are simply trying to excuse another of Byron's crimes.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 22 2007 @ 3:41PMIn NO way shape or form is Kelly a victim. It was her lies that caused Byron to be punished for a crime he did not commit. The fact that she was "underage" does not excuse the fact the she is responsible for an innocent man being labeled a murderer and being sentenced to LIFE in prison.
Posted On: Monday, Sep. 24 2007 @ 7:29AMI think Kelly is a victim. Byron was an adult. What kind of man sleeps with a 14 year old? A sick man. Of course, since Byron is also a cold blooded murderer, it is hardly a leap that he would break the law in other ways. You put underage in quotes. 14 is, in every state, underage.
Byron Case is NOT an innocent man. A jury, and two appeals, found that Kelly was telling the truth.
Byron Case will rot in prison. He deserves to. The sad thing is that he was not given the death penlty.
The supporters of Byron Case are so deluded that they will believe anything he says. Anyone that gets involved with him does so at their own risk
Can anyone say: "Ted Bundy?", or "Charles Manson?"
Byron Case is a killer, pure and simple.
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 26 2007 @ 9:55PMMy name is Sylvia. I think Byron is innocent because he told me that he loves me.
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 26 2007 @ 9:59PMVote for Robert WitbolsFeugen for Senator!
Yea, we definitely need a wife beating, child molesting murder in office. Like we need another cheating crooked son of a bitch in political office! Ouch! AV :0
Hey, Patrick Rock, stop posting under false aliases! Ouch again!

Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 27 2007 @ 1:38AMAlso I might add, if Kelly's parents, aka
(Legal guardians) were ok with Byron's "relationship with Kelly" then why would it matter if she was under age? Can you explain that to me? Ouch! It would appear to me that you are trying very hard to throw every stone that you have at us that you could, try and hide the truth. Ouch again! AV :0
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 27 2007 @ 1:56AMDear Mrs. Moffett
WHY?
You trusted Byron enough to let him drive your car, to look after your pet and your house while you were away, to use your ATM card, to spend time alone with your younger daughter, to take Kelly out countless times, without any supervision at all - AFTER Anastasia's murder.
If you thought there was anything suspicious about Byron, you wouldn't have put this level of confidence in him. So WHY LIE on the stand? To protect your daughter's sullied reputation?
PLEASE.
For Byron's sake, let's hear the TRUTH.
http://www.freebyroncase.com
To be an “activist” for something to which you are vehemently opposed is the mark of a deprived individual. Filling your free time with a repugnant campaign against a man already incarcerated, and who by your own words “will never be free,” is demonstrative of a hollow in your own life. Willfully choosing to invest time in endeavors saturated in negative sentiment will be to your own detriment. Your crusade isn’t going to elicit the desired affect.
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 27 2007 @ 11:01AMThe truth is known even by the posters of this blog who are aginst Byron Case.......
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 29 2007 @ 1:19AMI think that the poster posing as "Sylvia" is either another sylvia or an expression of people against Byron, who are COWARDS and can't post by there own name.... Byron case is INNOCENT and the truth will come out. I agree with - To the misguided anti-Byron fanatic(s) , Byron case is INNOCENT!!! There is a REAL killer out there and that's what you guys should be worried about, not an innocent man behind behind bars, but a real killer.... Out there who may have very well claimed another victim.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 29 2007 @ 1:33AMIt's spelled "against."
Find a hobby that impassions you, or an issue you feel positively about to advocate for. The void in your own life cannot be satiated by the sort of negativity you've consistently posted here. I'm sorry that your own life is so empty that you feel compelled to continually check on the progress of this post. If you believe Byron Case is guilty, and he will never be released, why exert the energy? Clearly, your life is lacking.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 29 2007 @ 10:53AMMania123 appeared to be posting in Byron's defense. It would seem that someone here is confused... Heh.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 29 2007 @ 4:59PM...and now we have someone forging my writing style to insult a fellow supporter. Genius.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 29 2007 @ 8:32PMThe truth is already known: Byron Case is a murderer. Obviously the deluded followers of Case have empty lives themselves. Why do you keep checking back? Also, the crusade does not have to elicit anything. Case is already in prison, and will never set foot in the free world again. I'm only here to spread the truth. For instance, if Byron Case is so honest and trustworthy, why does he have a fraudulent pen-pal ad up? He's nothing but a murdering liar.
Posted On: Sunday, Sep. 30 2007 @ 9:53PMYou are completely obsessed with Byron.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 1 2007 @ 10:13AMWagering a smear-campaign against a man already incarcerated is a waste of time and energy. Don't you have any friends, or a family of your own to concern yourself with? I check back here because I am a friend of Byron's. By your own logic, we're all helpless victims of Byron Case, anyway, so shouldn't you be pitying us instead of attacking us? The contradictions run deep in your arguments, and your insults are growing stale.
If that was your real photograph on your last MySpace page, I've seen a product advertised on television that might be able to help you with your unfortunate complexion. I'd be a social leper if my skin looked like that, too.
Get a life, a hobby, or just get out of the house every one in a while. This same old song-and-dance is tired.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 1 2007 @ 10:30AMCorrection - Get out of the house every ONCE in a while.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 1 2007 @ 10:31AMWOW! He sure loves to correct small words huh? Must make him feel smart. I think that he is just jealous that Byron has the love and support he lacks in his life. I mean come on guys he only has 2 myspace friends. I did see the picture up on the myspace page he has and I must say he does look like the cousin lover type (which as you may remember it was mentioned he had a crush on Anastasia). To the cousin lover I think you should avoid this site until you have something meaningful to say.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 1 2007 @ 2:16PMAlso, I'm sure we all have spell check so you don't have to take on that duty. Thanks anyway.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 1 2007 @ 2:27PMExcerpt from Robert WitbolsFeugen's statement to police investigator on 10-23-1997.
Q. What time did you get home last night?
A. I got home about quarter till nine (2045) … eight-thirty (8:30) , quarter till nine.
Q. Was your wife home then?
A. Yes.
Q. Did she talk to you about anything unusual that might have occurred?
A. Well, before I left work last night around six (6) o’clock, I called my wife to let her know that I would be later than normal because I was going to a meeting. Just wondering how everything was. Oh..earlier in the afternoon I’d spoken with her and she said that my oldest daughter Anastasia (victim) , that she had to drop her off at the Mt. Moriah cemetery.
Q. And what time was that sir?
A. About four-thirty (1630) .
*NOTE*
On the police report filed by Epperson, on 10-24-1997, Robert WitbolsFeugen clearily states:
"Mr. WitbolsFeugen then began advising the following information: At 2330 hrs, 10-22-97, he was looking for Anastasia when he stopped at the gate of Mount Washington Cemetery (where he had dropped her off at 1630 hrs, this date, with her friends)."
Please read the full report here!

These statements are just one day apart!
And these pigs can't catch a lie?
Robert WitbolsFeugen...
What a fucking liar! AV
Touché!
Posted On: Thursday, Oct. 4 2007 @ 12:53AMI didn't use my own picture. I used a photo of Byron, in chains, before a judge. I have no idea what myspace profile you are looking at.
I hear Byron has received conduct violations. At least my complaints have not been in vain. Hopefully, he will receive many more, and finally be forced to cease his dishonest penpal ads and his propagandistic myspace page.
I don't pity fools.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 29 2007 @ 10:20PMFrank, you are the fool and you should pity yourself. You think Byron is a murderer and that is your opinion but your sure do seem obsessed with him and with what's going on in his life, I can only wonder WHY? He is serving life in prison how is what he does any concern of yours? He currently belongs to the state of Missouri, so why are you poking around at his personal business? Are you that interested in him, or are you a sick pathetic creep who thinks he is a big man for causing trouble to a man who cannot defend himself? You are by far a poor pathetic reject. You need to read your facts, I think you need to reread some of the info posted above your comment there is also a link that has DOCUMENTS for you to view. Do your homework.
Posted On: Tuesday, Oct. 30 2007 @ 9:45AMO yea and you did have another picture on that weak myspace page. Not on the profile page but on your uploaded pictures. You had a grandpa sweater and I think maybe a scarf. Does that bring it back to you at all?
Posted On: Tuesday, Oct. 30 2007 @ 8:11PMI was a good friend of both Anastasia and Byron, not to mention Justin. I do not believe Byron killed her. I do believe more attention should have been paid to Justin's role while in court, instead of this theory of a madman killer running amok. The simple fact is he was emotionally and mentally disturbed, to the point where to this day I feel guilty for not trying to get him some help. I miss Ana still, as I miss Justin, and Byron. We did not lose one promising and very cared for friend all that time ago, we lost three. I think we have lost sight of that.
Posted On: Wednesday, Oct. 31 2007 @ 4:42PMI think free speech is just that- AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL, not just those we agree with.
I've won!
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 2 2007 @ 7:26PMWon @ what? What exactly did u win?
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 2 2007 @ 8:22PMI got Byron the extra punishment he deserves. My work has not been in vain. YAY!
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 2 2007 @ 9:58PMI've proven my point that yes you are in fact OBSESSED with Byron. Your life must really suck. It is a tragedy that Anastasia and lost her life at such a young age and I hope you get help in dealing with her loss cause you obviously need it. You have become obsessed with Byron and you really need to get help to move on. All other viewers please visit FREEBYRONCASE.COM. Form your own opinion but get the facts first.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 3 2007 @ 7:39AMThis has nothing to do with Anastasia. My crusade is simply a matter of thwarting Byron Case as much as I possibly can.
Posted On: Sunday, Nov. 4 2007 @ 3:27PMbut your obsession runs deep for what reason again?
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 5 2007 @ 12:52PMHmm the obsessed nut job is none other then Don who likes to harass Byrons mother with emails where he prides himself on being a nasty little troll, and why is he obsessed with going after Byron awwwe poor little thing has no life and feels unloved, he also likes to harass children. oh and yes Don you know who I am and my kids apologise for using big words during the last argument they had with you.
Posted On: Thursday, Nov. 22 2007 @ 11:07AMGuess its no fun for them having a battle of the wits with an unarmed person.
"The mob requires reg. doses of scandal,paranoia and delemma to alleviate the boredom of a meaningless existance. What begins as a seedling of reality germinates into a full-blown myth, which in turn picks up constituents along the way who confer substances to it".

Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 24 2007 @ 12:07PMAnton LeVey very appropriate Don.
Posted On: Sunday, Nov. 25 2007 @ 9:16AMAwww...Did Byron lose his internet presence? What a shame. Did the murderer finally get a little extra punishment? That's as sad as a bunch of Australian kids that are reduced to America bashing to try and make a point.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 26 2007 @ 9:18PMExtra punishment??????????? Byron Case is serving a LIFE SENTENCE, you pathetic fool. It would take a lonely, desperate idiot with no life to find humor in this. Byron Case was wrongfully convicted of murder and his life was taken away there is nothing funny about that. You are entitled to your opinion so keep displaying your jokes and obvious obsession, but just know that it won't make a difference in the # of supporters Byron has. To get some truth to all this please Visit FREEBYRONCASE.COM
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 27 2007 @ 1:05PMNow Now Don, you and I both know the Aussie kids didn't bash America. They were just concerned about a nation that will imprison an innocent person such as Byron, whilst allowing someone such as yourself who has obvious and serious mental health issues walk the streets a free man. but as I explained to them you are a prisoner to your own pathetic and pathological need for self gratification, the only way you can boost your own self esteem and self worth is by degrading others. By attacking those that are vulnerable you in return are give yourself a false sense of power.
have a nice day you insignificant, deplorable little cretin
Posted On: Wednesday, Nov. 28 2007 @ 8:13AMCyberstalkers target victims using search engines, online forums, bulletin and discussion boards, chat rooms, and more recently, through online communities such as MySpace, Facebook, Friendster and Indymedia, a media outlet known for self-publishing. They may engage in live chat harassment or flaming or they may send electronic viruses and unsolicited e-mails. Victims of cyberstalkers may not even know that they are being stalked. Cyberstalkers may research individuals to feed obsessions and curiosities that they possess. Conversely, the acts of cyberstalkers may become more intense, such as repeatedly instant messaging their targets. More commonly they will post defamatory or derogatory statements about their stalking target on web pages, message boards and in guest books designed to get a reaction or response from their victim, thereby initiating contact. In some cases, they have been known to create fake blogs in the name of the victim containing defamatory or pornographic content.
Psychopathic Personality Stalker:
Generally male
Absence of mental disorder
Targets familiar victims
Harassment may be anonymous
Usually some precipitating stressor
Love Obsessional: Most likely involving no prior relationship. The victims may become known through the media, or perhaps through the Internet. Love obsessional stalkers comprise the second largest group of approximately 43% (Geberth, 1992). A large number of these individuals may be suffering from a mental disorder such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. The most common type is the individual who pursues a celebrity, which may be more familiar as the "obsessed fan syndrome".
Posted On: Wednesday, Nov. 28 2007 @ 5:16PMByron Case is a murderer. His followers have attempted to show evidence which they claim casts doubt on his guilt, but all they have is wishful thinking and supposition.
1. A recent blog has listed a number of points which they claim is cause for doubt of Byron's guilt. One of those points, the death of Justin Buton, is typical of the Case camp. Byron's "alibi" is that Byron, Justin, and Kelly, drove away, leaving Anastasia to her fate. If this is true, Justin's death has no bearing on Byron's guilt or innocence. The Case camp can't have it both ways. Either the "alibi" protects them all, or it doesn't protect any of them.
2. The third-party that corroborated Byron's story actually described the car going in the opposite direction. Read the transcripts(which are not available on Byron's official site).
3. Byron and his followers make a big deal over the drug abuse of Kelly. They fail to mention that Byron himself was so addicted that he suffered frequent blackouts and one very serious instance of memory loss.
4. The Australian, who signs her name as "K" is named Kelly. Her site address is: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=29720547
She is as deluded as her idiot "kids".
5. The wikipedia article has no bearing. Perhaps copies of Byron's letters would show what he really said, and not what he came up with after the fact.
6. Byron will never get out of prison. Those wanton sluts that believe they will have some future relationship with him(such as marriage), should ready themselves for a very long, lonely existence. Your marriage will be nothing but smoke.

Prior relationship or not, stalking is still stalking.
Posted On: Thursday, Dec. 6 2007 @ 1:19PMWOW I guess that really shut the page up, Don you need to get a life. 9 hours, man what where you doing? I know there is alot good info on FREEBYRONCASE.COM but really, do you not have a job or a buddy to spend your time with?????
Posted On: Tuesday, Dec. 11 2007 @ 3:36PMA violent sociopath. A man with a previous felony conviction. A man addicted to drugs and violence. A man that murdered one person, and was indirectly responsible for the death of another. Let's not forget his taste for under-age girls (and those that look like under-age girls), and the fact that he ruined the life of one such girl. A man adept at writing fiction, and creating fictional accounts of his life.
Who is this vicious criminal? Byron Case. Thanks to the State of Missouri for putting this violent monster away. The citizens of Missouri can sleep soundly at night, knowing that this stealer of lives (and the innocence of young girls) is in prison forever.
Posted On: Wednesday, Dec. 19 2007 @ 10:11PMI doubt you are an HONEST citizen, You are an opinionated citizen same as the rest of us. You asked who is the vicious criminal? The answer is the state of Missouri for stealing Byron Case's freedom. You bring up his past as if you are some sort of saint. I doubt anyone on this blog can say they have not done things they regret today. Especially when they where young or younger. No one has said Byron was a saint, however, many believe in he is not Anastasia's murderer. Everyone has a past so any one using Byron's past as a logical reason for him to be 100% guilty is fully of SH*T! Take a look in the mirror what were you doing as a youngster? Have you ever experimented with illegal drugs????? In other words I sick of hearing these stereotypic idiots pointing their finger. My opinion is Byron Case is not a murderer. My opinion may not be the same as yours so if you do think Byron is really guilty give me some more reasons to back that up besides the same old song about him being a troubled young adult. Visit FREEBYRONCASE.COM to see what backs my opinion!
Posted On: Thursday, Dec. 20 2007 @ 2:38PMhere is an article I just found that maybe of interest
Posted On: Thursday, Dec. 20 2007 @ 7:16PM
lets see if the code works this time
Posted On: Thursday, Dec. 20 2007 @ 7:23PMMissouri DOC Bans Inmates from Seeking Pen-pals on the Web
I had the great fortune to speak with my friend Byron Case on the telephone the other day. Our conversation lasted for over an hour, and (though it may be a bit egocentric for me to say) I am pleased that I was able to give him a short respite from the horrific world that he is, for the moment, trapped in.
This conversation brought to mind the word "Escape". It is a small word, but it means so much. It can refer to a mental state, or a physical one. At the current time, Byron can only experience a mental escape. I consider it a great honour to correspond with him, a great honour to know that, for a brief moment, I have given him something to help take his mind off of his surroundings. I can say, in all honesty, that I receive far more from him, that I am getting the better part of the deal.
Our conversation also brought to mind the word "loyalty". Any great cause must have as its base the notion of loyalty. In this world, we can decide which causes to support. Some are more important than others, but all require a sense of loyalty. It is the loyal base, the core, that keeps a cause from dying. Loyalists never seek rewards, never ask for renumeration, because to do so would cheapen the very thing that any cause promotes. I must admit that I have, in fact, received a great reward from my association with Byron Case: Friendship. As far as I am concerned, I need no other reward.
Byron Case is my friend because of the things he gives of himself. He is my friend because accepts me for who I am. I consider myself rich beyond my dreams to have him as a friend.
He asks for nothing, and gives everything. This is true friendship.

Posted On: Monday, Dec. 31 2007 @ 1:32PMhe Fight to Free Byron Case Manifesto
INTRODUCTION
Byron Case was wrongfully convicted of murder in 2002.
He had no motive. There was no DNA evidence. No weapon was ever recovered. During his trial, the type of weapon was not conclusively established. In short, there is no conclusive evidence which links him to this crime. Byron was arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced, based upon the thrice changed testimony of one alleged "witness." Byron's only "crime" was that he knew the victim.
1. Byron Case is an innocent man. The penal system of this country was built to punish the guilty. Every innocent man that languishes in prison diminishes us all. To help Byron is a step towards helping all the imprisoned innocent.
2. Byron Case is a victim. Political pressure led to his arrest. His trial was a sham, built on supposition and innuendo. Pieces of evidence regarding the veracity of the statement made by the state's one "witness" were not made available to jurors. The big three questions were never answered: "Did the suspect have the means to commit the crime? Did he have something to gain? Did he have the opportunity to carry out the crime?"(I defy anyone to provide definitive answers to ANY of these questions) Is this how an impartial justice system operates?
3. Byron Case is a good man. Based on a number of factors(overwhelmed police, inept defense, the prosecutorial "win-at-all-costs" attitude, and a lying witness(that had been given immunity), Byron was convicted. His life was taken from him. He deserves so much more.
CONCLUSION
My primary purpose is to spread the word about Byron Case and his unjust imprisonment. My secondary purpose is to help keep Byron as comfortable as possible until the day comes when he is released. My tertiary purpose is to help shed light on the very real problem of wrongfully convicted and imprisoned citizens.
In short: Anything for Byron.
Posted On: Monday, Dec. 31 2007 @ 1:35PMhey morons,
You should read the trial transcripts, and then you would see the REAL Byron Case. It is no coincidence that Byron's official site does not offer these transcripts.
Ask yourself these questions:
Why does the so-called witness (Don Rand) say that the car was going in the opposite direction? He testified to this, and it is obvious that he was either mistaken, or he saw the wrong car. In either case, it invalidates what Byron said.
Justin Bruton would not commit suicide over the death of a soon-to-be-ex girlfriend. The most likely explanation is that Byron convinced him that this would be something simple. When Justin saw how horrible it was to murder another person, he was unable to handle it.
Why does court testimony show that Byron hated Anastasia? This is not conjecture. Testimony that is not available on his site shows that he hated her (his own friends testified to this fact).
Why do Case supporters overlook the fact that Byron was heavily involved in drugs? His supporters delight in portraying Kelly as a drug addict, but they never mention that he was also an addict.
Why do Byron supporters continue to cast doubt over Justin Bruton? Both Byron and Justin share the same alibi. If the "mysterious death" of Juston Bruton had anything to do with the case, it would totally throw Byron's story into doubt.
Posted On: Monday, Jan. 7 2008 @ 7:31PMYes, I said those things. I was not sure of his innocence from the beginning, but was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because of the things he said.
His mother sent me gifts, and he claimed that he had certain feelings that were later proven to be untrue.
I still have his letters, that state he had certain feelings, as well as his mother's e-mails. I have Evelyn Case, on tape. She made complaints to the police that a certain person is a pedophile). Byron himself made several comments abou friends of his who were willing to break the law on his behalf(Pablo, who stated that he was willing to spray-paint free byron case on public buildings).
Byron has stated that he was so influenced by drugs, that he was unable to remember the events of previous days. Does this make you feel good about supporting him?
Yes, I did write those words. I wrote them, however, before I had access to the actual trial transcripts.
Byron Case is a murderer. He will die in prison. His filthy slut girlfriend will never know a real relationship with him. His mother will will never see him free. Byron has no idea what he did when he got involved with a stupid, filthy, whore.

Posted On: Sunday, May. 18 2008 @ 9:52AMHaha... You have to love all the pathetic responses to this article. If you people really knew Byron you would know that he is VERY capable of murder. If Justin were here today I am sure that it would be his testimony you're slandering and not Kelly Moffett's. Its just sad to see how many people he has under is little intellegent mind fucks. Keep it in your trendy Westport coffee houses and out of the surviving families' lives. You people honestly make me laugh. Oh, and by the way, Kelly Moffett never took the reward money.. odd considering she was a crackhead (that could have bought a lot of crack). But life goes on. Oh, wait, no, not for Anastasia or Justin... hmmm... Smell ya' later!
Posted On: Thursday, Jun. 19 2008 @ 3:10PMYour sick you know that. We are basing our belief in Byron, because we know him. And after reading some of the police reports ( and I'm sure you have too! ) It is difficult to believe that Byron's defense didn't call Robert WitbolsFeugen, Diane Marshall, Betsy Owens, and Patrick Rock for their testimonies. You know what I'm saying??? :0
The truth will surface!
911 = INSIDE JOB
AV out!
Posted On: Monday, Jun. 23 2008 @ 9:32PMNo, Aaron, I don't know what you're saying, or at least what you think everyone will understand. Of course, most of us live in the real world.
I get a notification from a search engine every time a site with Anastasia's name updates. I've tried to ignore this one for a long time, but it's been more than a year now, and you have no more of a life than to spew on blog sites like this. It would be comically pathetic if it weren’t so sad. And I'd be more inclined to ignore it if you hadn't gone too far on "Thoughts.com", and revealed that you were still stalking Kelly Moffett.
You ramble and bluster all over the place, but never make a truly rational argument. I'm more convinced of Case's guilt by the Manson Family-like reactions from his supporters than I was after watching his trial.
Just WHY do you find it "difficult to believe" that the defense didn't call those people for their "testimonies"? FYI, the prosecution DID call Diane Marshall as a witness, and the defense cross-examined her. You'd know that if you hadn't gotten yourself ejected from the courtroom. What exactly did you think she would testify to? She testified about giving Anastasia a ride to the cemetery, and about how unusual that was, as Justin had always before come and picked her up at her house.
And no, no one except you seems to know or care why the defense would have called the victim's family to the stand when they could give no pertinent testimony. Maybe they could have called you up to the stand as well and asked about your criminal past, just to show what kind of pervs and criminal types Case associated with.
The prosecution didn't get to ask Case about his heavy cocaine use. Why? It wasn't pertinent. What pertinent information do you think the defense could bring up calling the victim's family to the stand? Betsey Owens’ police statement, the one that she never expected anyone would see? I kind of wish they had brought the lying bitch up. She'd have had to admit then and there that her statement was false, and you'd have nothing to masturbate to now.
And to repeat what I put up in the blog that your group took down, apparently embarrassed because they'd already revealed they'd been stalking Kelly Moffett, and I showed that you were still obsessed with Kelly and with Anastasia's family, sending out an email to your buddies with Rock's and Moffett's home and work addresses. You already admitted to wanting to stalk Kelly Moffett in 2002, talking about "digging up dirt" on her even then.
Why do you send out emails with addresses of people you hate, Aaron? There must be a reason, and I doubt it was to add them to Christmas card lists. I think you were hoping someone would harass them. You have a better (and rational) explanation? Didn’t think so. Loser.
What convicted Case was when the jury heard his admission on that tape. You want us to believe his BS story of Anastasia getting out of the car at that stop light, but his conversation with Moffett put that all to lie. If he'd been telling the truth, the jury would have heard him tell Kelly that she shouldn't make stuff up, that he didn't kill his friend, that he's still bothered by her death. What the jury DID hear was him talk about the police with Kelly, knowing exactly what she was talking about when she told him "We're both fucked". They heard him pointedly change the subject when she asked him why he killed Anastasia, and not because he thought she was crazy, but because he was uncomfortable talking about it. They heard him coach her on how to talk to the police and tell them she "can't remember things." They heard a guilty man who had no remorse for what he'd done.
I notice you never really argue the merits of the case any more. You make shit up, and you cherry pick small items you think will "prove" your assertions, when you either don't know that nearly all of those points were brought up during the trial testimony, or you're hoping that no one else will. You make attacks on people when you know it won't help Case's appeals. You bring up stuff that has already been shot down on appeal.
You hide on the internet and make accusations and claims you can't prove. You said you read "some of the police reports". This is the example of "cherry picking" that has been talked about. SOME police reports. You lie about the whole case: No reward was ever collected, even though you like to still call Moffett's testimony "possibly incentivized" Case was informed exactlyu what he was being arrested for and was read his rights before being taken away, though you write it up as if he was "disapeared" by the Secret Police. You've read SOME of the police reports? I've read ALL the trial testimony, having helped transcribe a large part of it.
It's been said you'd do anything for your friend Byron Case. I'm guessing that probably includes lying and attacking people just to hurt them. If Byron Case really believes that you’re helping him by slandering and stalking people, then he’s less intelligent than he’s usually given credit for.
Everyone knows that you’re incapable of answering this with anything but vitriol and more lies. I’m leaving this message as a permanent record (one that you can’t take down like you did with the “Thoughts” blog) so anyone who does read this can see what you really do to "support" your "friend".
BTW, I did pass on all the information from that "Thoughts.com" blog to Anastasia's family. I haven't talked to them as to whether they plan to pass it on to MODOC, but I'm hoping they do.
Get a life Aaron. Your current one sucks.

Wow! What a response. Ok I will start from the top....For the readers... I will never hide. I do not need to post anonymously. If my name is not next to my post, then you can rest assured that I did not post it. The deal with Thoughts.com, I had no affiliation with. I never even heard about it, until you mentioned it.
Funny how I post a paragraph and you respond with an essay. I have no life huh? Well I guess besides having a wife, two daughters of my own, one and three years old, a full time job, and going to school full time, I don't have much of a life after all. Thanks for pointing that out to me, friend. Other than that, I am a lonely loser without a life or purpose. :0
Kelly Moffett:
Hummm... Depends what you would consider stalking?
"We've" dug up some interesting "police reports" concerning Robert WitbolsFeugen, and Kelly Moffett. Looks like they have been quite busy in their, "most productive lives". Apparently Kelly, married a forty-five year old man, and had a kid with him. Received a police report concerning Kelly Moffett. Apparently she was arrested for domestic battery in 2004. Gotten divorced, and lost custody of her daughter, and back being a drug addicted, alcoholic whore bag. Robert WitbolsFeugen's police report, I am still waiting on. But from what I gather, it was a disorderly conduct charge, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer. Hard to imagine considering his abusive past. I wonder if it's too late to add wife beater, child molester, and murderer to his current charges. Humm.....
My Points.
#1 Was Byron Case standing over "THE EXACT LOCATION WHERE ANASTASIA'S BODY WAS RECOVERED THE FOLLING DAY? No, it was Robert WitbolsFeugen.
#2 Did Byron Case take out a second life insurance policy on Anastasia one week before her death? No it was her father, Robert WitbolsFeugen.
#3 Did Betsy Owens say to police investigators that if Anastasia had been beaten to death, that she would not have put it past Byron Case to have committed the murder himself? No it was Robert WitbolsFeugen.
#4 Did Byron Case purposely mislead police investigators? No it was Patrick Rock and Robert WitbolsFeugen.
#5 You fucking know it!
#6 I said God damn those hand picked cherries do taste bitter sweet, don't they?
More soon I promise!
I'm coming for your rotten soul.

Posted On: Tuesday, Jul. 1 2008 @ 11:53AMWasn't Kelly Moffet offered immunity from prosecution herself to testify against Byron?? I don't think they NEED to offer her the reward money when they are telling her to basically say what they want her to say on the stand, in order to convict SOMEONE or she would go to prison herself... that must have been reward enough for her.
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 2 2008 @ 2:29AMFrank Jung ... i think you might want to do a little more research on Byron's case and maybe figure out a little more for yourself .. you look like a big RETARD! .. I myself am friends with a friend of Byrons and obviously know more about what was acually testified than you .. example .. at the stoplight that you say Anastasia didnt get out of the vehicle at, the gas station attendant across the street from the stoplight testified to police that she got out of the car and started walking .. i believe the attendant said that he watched her walk all the way out of sight .. again, might want to do some research buddy!
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 2 2008 @ 2:57AMThe Pitch can't be trusted to get things right. One post they print twice, the next one they lose. I'm going to write another one this time, and try to catch up on the rest if this goes through.
"Beasley", whoever the hell you really are, let's see when a member of your family is brutally murdered, just how you define "obsessive". It's clear you don't have any idea of the difference between maintaining a memorial for a murdered loved one and trying to harm the family of a murder victim. Doofus.
Jamie, you once claimed you were an "expert" on this case, but it's clear that you're only an expert in the Byron Case version of it. Your personal stint in Missouri's penal system seems to have given you the viewpoint that there is no such thing as a fair trial. You make up accusations against police and prosecutors because you believe there are no guilty people in prison. Were YOU innocent? Did you get screwed by a vindictive witness, a corrupt police, a super-ambitious prosecutor, an easily fooled jury, an incompetent defense attorney, and/or a lazy judge? Or did you really do the B&E? Byron Case claims that all those things happened to him; he must be the unluckiest bastard in the world, or this must be one hell of a good fiction.
I know this is a difficult concept for you to deal with, given your perspective, but Moffett was not a jailhouse snitch. She came forward with her story. Had she remained silent, the police could and would have done nothing to her.
Kelly Moffett admitted to a drug counselor that she had witnessed a murder. When the counselor informed her that the police would have to be called, she panicked and blamed Justin Bruton. She had already admitted the truth to her parents (I should point out that she did so months before Byron Case left for St. Louis, and more than a year after they had broken up), but she panicked when she realized that she would also have to admit her own participation in the coverup. She got immunity for possible charges of Obstruction and Accessory, for having lied to and misled police backing up Case's alibi. You seem to think the police could have sent her to prison without her having come forward, but that only works when you deny reality.
Besides, you're now changing the official party line. You've all been crying for years that Moffett was seeking the reward and looking for revenge. Are you now disavowing that story, and going with the "she was forced into it by police threats" argument? I doubt it. Given the pattern of your group, one of you in another six months will start repeating the "reward" story again, as if it's a brand new unanswered question. Aaron has known the truth for almost six years, as well as the truth of the "insurance policy" story. He even apologized once for his "crazy accusations" regarding that story. God alone knows what happened to his brain cells.
Nicole, whoever the hell YOU are, it is YOU who need to do a little more research, and maybe take a course in writing clearly. I've read every pre-trial document released by the Prosecutor's office, and have read the entire trial transcript. You know a friend of Byron Case's, which does NOT make if "obvious" that you know jack, other than what Byron Case's friend has told you to believe.
Here's what Don Rand had to say about the woman he saw (page 993 of testimony):
"I watched her go all the way up to about Erotic City and about there is where I lose sight of people."
Erotic City is less than a block away from where the Amoco was. He didn't see her for long. He DID testify that the car was in the eastbound lane (another thing that Aaron knew years ago), facing the opposite direction that Case claims, and after Rand told the jury that he saw the woman arguing and saw her walking away upset, he had to admit under cross-examination that he had told police two days after the murder that he had NOT seen her arguing, and that he couldn't tell whether or not she was upset.
Rand described the woman as medium height (5'5" or 6"), where Anastasia was noticeably shorter at 5'2", something that would be obvious to him as close as he'd been. He also tried not to acknowledge that he'd had a long conversation with Tara McDowell (another Case witness) a few days after having talked to police, and that they'd talked specifically about what he saw, but McDowell had already been forced to admit it before he testified.
And Aaron still proves my earlier point. He will not answer any of the challenges made, like why he sent out that email with Moffett's and Rock's personal contact in it. We know why he did that: he was hoping someone might decide to harrass them. Come on, Aaron, answer the question: What's YOUR explanation? You all try to ignore the obvious facts of Byron Case's taped admission, and just make up recycled questions to distract yourselves from the fact that your Emperor has no clothes.
How many of you know why Byron Case had his name changed from Brook Case? According to his own former web site, he was sexually molested by a family friend and his parents did NOTHING about it. A few years after that, he was so messed up that they felt he needed a new identity. How fucked up is that, Evelyn?
After Aaron's email got circulated to Anastasia's family, we discussed filing a cease and desist order, and to that end hired a PI to find his address so such an order could be delivered, and there was a real surprise about this guy who claims to live in Shawnee Mission with his wife and two daughters. He's never voted, paid taxes, taken out a library card, enrolled in school, bought or rented a home, or conducted any normal human business from any address other than his parents' home. There is no marriage license or birth certificate with the name of Vermeulen in the last eight years within a six-county area. Either he's going to soon be on the top of Homeland Security's list of potential domestic terrorists, or he's just a pathetic loser who has to make up stories about himself.
Next post, I'll get into the stories that Case told his classmates at Lincoln Academy about his mother and father, which included both parents' sexual practices and his story of being deported from Australia.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jul. 8 2008 @ 4:21PMYou're investing time arguing about a case you feel has been justly closed. You're the real loser.
I wonder why you're the only one sticking up for Kelly Moffett? Probably because she's a drunk who doesn't keep friends for long. Her husband divorced her because she'd go on drug and alcohol binges and disappear for "days on end," according to public documentation. He has sole custody of their child. Still think she's an outstanding citizen?

It's clear that YOU don't understand the difference between maintaining a memorial for a murdered loved one and deliberately seeking to hurt the family of someone who is incarcerated. You're not hurting Byron with your attacks; he doesn't have internet access in prison, stupid. The only people you're hurting with your slanderous website are the people who care about him, MANY of whom don't engage you folks in the online mudslinging.
But arguing with you is pointless, isn't it? You'll just post another five-hundred-word rant here, reiterating the same attacks, calling the kettle black.
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 9 2008 @ 11:04AM"After Aaron's email got circulated to Anastasia's family, we discussed filing a cease and desist order, and to that end hired a PI to find his address so such an order could be delivered, and there was a real surprise about this guy who claims to live in Shawnee Mission with his wife and two daughters. He's never voted, paid taxes, taken out a library card, enrolled in school, bought or rented a home, or conducted any normal human business from any address other than his parents' home. There is no marriage license or birth certificate with the name of Vermeulen in the last eight years within a six-county area. Either he's going to soon be on the top of Homeland Security's list of potential domestic terrorists, or he's just a pathetic loser who has to make up stories about himself."
I read your comment about my husband stalking Kelly and now you have the nerve to admit you are stalking Aaron. Wow you are a wack job all the more reason I am glad to know your "PI" couldn't do his/her job. I don't need some pedophile lurking around our children. You don't need to see my daughters birth certificates or my marriage license either. Aaron has a life, looks like you need to get yourself one. Aaron never sent these emails you keep harping over so get over it. Here is a fair warning FUCK OFF! you will not change anyone's mind about Byron at all so don't bother spending countless hours typing here.
FREEBYRONCASE.COM An innocent man has been sentenced to LIFE in prison............
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 9 2008 @ 2:36PMCheers to you, Mrs. V. I was surprised to hear you and your kids were imaginary. Aaron must be really good with Photoshop. How does he pull off those real life sitings, though? Are you a hologram? Grin.
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 9 2008 @ 3:27PMThank you, Aaron, for showing that you DO use aliases to hide behind. You're using the same grammatical patterns and phraseology in all your identities. From now on, anyone using an alias will just be assumed to be you. Contrary to your brave talk, we know it was you who was posting under more than one alias on Thoughts.com. We got the source IPs, and there isn't anyone else from your group posting from KC.RR.
I just like to fight ignorance and lies, which you display in spades. You think you should be able to tell your lies and attack people with impunity, and then get mad when someone responds. Glass houses.
And since you fell for it so completely that first time, Aaron, you're guessing I'd do it twice. However, this time, I'm not playing that game with you. You've already revealed what you know, and just what kind of person you are.
YOUR side started it, and continues to deliberately try to hurt the family of a murder victim to this day. You attack the family of a murder victim while defending a convicted killer with misinformation that no one outside your own circle jerk would believe. And since you all insist on making most of your attacks anonymous(you hear that, Evelyn?) , we don't honestly know who is engaging in the mudslinging (and at least you have to admit that you're doing mudslinging; you've just been acting as if you were just "doing your duty"). So they're all guilty. And, may I ask, who in your group is an innocent bystander who has been "hurt" by us?
Didn't I just read you saying you thought Robert WitbolsFeugen was a murderer? Among the "proof" you offered was this gem:
Well, let's pull a direct quote from your email to Patrick Rock back on November 21, 2002, Aaron:
You knew ‘way back then that the insurance policy was a bogus issue. You knew ‘way back then that the reward was a bogus issue. You knew that Don Rand's testimony was a bogus issue. And you admitted as much at the time But you keep bringing it up like it's something you just discovered. You're either dishonest in that you try to get away with the same lies or you're stupid because you can't remember which arguments have been put to rest. You're not doing it because you believe it, you're doing it to deliberately hurt people.
On December 8, 2002, you said this:
And after you kept sending new loaded questions in each email and refused to answer a single one in return, you went silent, apparently when the questions from our side got too difficult to avoid, then reappeared a year later. You did say this:
Yeah, right. You're a liar, pure and simple. You never had an intention to do anything but hurt. You should be working for Karl Rove, because you've certainly adopted his methods.
Here's the really ironic thought: What makes you think you have the SAME Kelly Moffett? What makes you think that after having testified in a murder trial against a guy with such vindictive friends that she kept her maiden name? Wasn't it odd in that divorce announcement that it was the only instance where the wife didn't share her husband's last name? Ever check that out? Obviously not, as it's so much easier to make up shit without actually having researched it. That's your pattern, Aaron. You aren't trying to help Byron Case. You're just trying to hurt people. You don't want justice, you want revenge. We all remember what you had to say about that. And here comes the bad Karma, looking for you.
Well, fair's fair. You've been hogging the bandwidth so much, and besides, you can tell a lie in 10 words, and it might take me over 100 to rebut it.
Since I've already shown that you made one bogus point in your post, let's go to some of your "points" and see how bright you are.
Wow, you got me there. Wait, no, you don't. You're saying that the killer would return to the exact spot where he killed his victim the day after her body was discovered, just so the police could see him there? Man, why didn't the police see THAT one? Maybe it's because there were still police markers and spots where they had dug for evidence on the day after. Maybe it's because it would be difficult NOT to find the exact spot that next day. You really think that people are idiots, at least anyone who would believe something like that.
Yes, he did. He gave them false information about Justin Bruton, claiming that Justin had gotten rid of a gun just before the murder, when in fact he had no way of knowing that. He told police that Justin was talking about suicide on the night of the murder, but completely backed off of that claim during his testimony. His strategy was not to incriminate Bruton deliberately, but to provide enough doubt that police would just suspect Justin and not be able to close in on him. The best thing Justin did for Case was to die.
Did Robert WitbolsFeugen PURPOSELY mislead police? No. You keep making these claims, and Robert may have been crazy after his eldest daughter was murdered, but your accusation of "deliberate" is nothing but your opinion. Prove "deliberate", wanker.
You gotta wonder just what kind of mother Evelyn Case was, to have allowed her "precious little boy" to be homosexually molested by a family friend, and then do nothing about it. Must have fucked him up something fierce. According to his classmates at Lincoln, he really talked some trash about you, Evelyn. But you shouldn't really be upset, because he did that to a number of people when they weren't around, Anastasia included. I wonder where he learned that kind of behavior.
And Aaron, just WHY did you send out that email? You know the one. Won't defend that, will you? Won't even admit it now, according to your "wife". Sylvia already admitted receiving it; I have a copy of it; it has your roadrunner email ID on it. Sylvia tried to defend it by saying that no one did anything with it, as if that excuses your inexcusable behavior.
You'll just come back again with more ad hominem attacks and try to shout "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" Say hello to your "wife" and "kids" for all of us. I'll tell the PI that you're now cross-dressing (and calling yourself "Mrs. Vermeulen", after you'd identified your entire "family" by name earlier on MySpace) and that you called her a pedophile since it was she who investigated you. Honestly, do you seriously think ANYONE would believe there could be a woman anywhere in the world willing to breed with you?
For the record, you're not being stalked; we just asked her to find a current address so you could be served a cease and desist order if necessary for your stalking activities, and she was very surprised at what she found, or more accurately what she didn't find. You've been outed, Aaron, and you're still trying to bluff. You and I both know you're lying, but I guess you have to keep a good appearance for the rest of your FBC friends; you don't want them to think you're some weird guy who obsesses about Robert and Patrick the way you obviously do. So, you have some sort of fascination with middle-aged males, do you? God, you're sick. Your mother should come down to the basement and wash your mouth out with soap. Hell, she should have strangled you in the crib.
And since you think it's fair game to attack people who aren't even in this conversation, I should point out that, according to the stories that Byron Case told in high school, Evelyn Case is a real slut. And that's just what her son said about her. Again, glass houses. If you don't like this, then maybe you should reconsider your methods. As for me, I'm just tired of your lies and your hatred towards others, and I think it's now time to see whether those "others" you mention like getting "hurt" just because you feel the need to vent.
Ooh, now that was a real zinger. You won't change your mind about that fucking killer either, but you seem to find the "countless hours" typing here, even doing it under assumed aliases (five new ones in just a matter of a week), so don't bother being such a hypocrite and tell others what to do.
And while we're at it, tell us all about YOUR documented criminal record. Or shall I?
AARON VERMEULEN IS A SAD, SAD LONER WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD WHO STILL LIVES WITH HIS PARENTS, MAKES UP A FAMILY LIFE THAT NEVER EXISTED, TELLS LIES TO HELP HIS CONVICT FRIEND, AND OBSESSES ABOUT MIDDLE-AGED MEN. WHAT A MAROON.
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 9 2008 @ 4:06PMInternet harassment is now illegal in Missouri.
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 9 2008 @ 5:07PMAll of you people are fucking out to lunch, man!
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 9 2008 @ 8:49PMHa ha ha. You got me! You got the tater! Listen, anyone that knows me and is my friend, has been over to my residence and has met my family. I feel really bad for the absence of purpose in your life.
I'll dig deep and put together something special for you Mr. Rock.
More soon. Your friend,
Aaron Charles Vermeulen
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 9 2008 @ 10:12PMGet an eye full you dumb bastard!!!! My husband is not the liar you claim he is, No not even close. He is a wonderful father, provider, and yes HUSBAND, something you will never compare to in your pathedic life. Once again FUCK OFF! You need a hobby and you chose ranting in a free magazine's plog to fulfill that, but none the less don't fuck with my family. Get a good look at HAPPINESS cause it will be private soon.
Posted On: Thursday, Jul. 10 2008 @ 1:39AMFYI, Aaron, I don't live in Missouri, and neither do you. If you DID live in Missouri, where you say internet harassment is a crime, then Patrick Rock and Robert WitbolsFeugen would both have already had your wanker ass in jail and facing civil suit by now. You are the one engaging in harassment, not anyone else.
And BTW, slander and libel are crimes in EVERY state. If you were as brave as you claim, you wouldn't hide behind the internet with your false accusations. You'd put it out there with your signature on it and take your chances, but we all know that you're coward.
Your FBC wankfest has been made up almost entirely of cowards who hide behind anonymous sockpuppets. Actually, it's been mostly made up by you.
Your paranoia, thinking I'm Patrick (when he long ago gave up on engaging any of you) is no different than when you were posting behind sockpuppets on Thoughts.com. You've redefined the word "obsession" again to exclude your apparent need to stalk two middle-aged men and one 20-something woman.
Isn't it ironic that when one a member of the FBC Circle Jerk attacks the family of a murder victim while hiding behind a sockpuppet, you think it's amusing and for a good cause, but when someone from the victim's family, giving their name, does much less to you in response, you want to whine and call it harassment? Go find a lawyer, at least one who could use a laugh. And speaking of internet harassment . . .
Say, Aaron, does THIS look familiar to you?
The GIF file attached to your little love-letter was a scan of a hand-written piece of paper which had Patrick Rock's home phone number, along with the name of his company and its phone, cell phone, and his work email. It also contained Kelly Moffett's home address and phone number, along with her workplace info.
So the question remains, Aaron, WHY DID YOU SEND THIS OUT? What reason, other than wanting to incite harassment against these individuals, did you have?
You can deny it if you wish, but we both know it was from you, and we'll both know you're a liar. You won't admit to having done it because you can offer no rational reason for it.
And for someone as busy as you claim to be, you've been posting a buttload of sockppupets today and yesterday. You have a lot of imaginary friends, and even have to get your imaginary wife to defend you. Do you let "her" kiss your "kids" goodnight with that mouth of "hers"? Addressing "her" words to YOU, "You need a hobby and you chose ranting in a free magazine's plog to fulfill that."
You still haven't addressed any of the points I made about your (deliberately) faulty memory, so I'm going to assume you will admit by your silence that you withdraw your claim about Robert WitbolsFeugen's insurance policies. Even though you admitted six years ago that you understood that WitbolsFeugen had taken the policy out on his ENTIRE family, you left the insurance policies up on the site. The reason? Because you always intended to make the same claims again, hoping it would be forgotten.
This is no different than the denials and avoidance that you and others did on Thoughts.com. You all kept changing the subject, attacking me, doing everything EXCEPT address the issues. Why? Because you have no answer for them. Byron Case made a tacit admission of guilt on tape before his arrest, he told an investigator a year after the murder he "had better things to do" than talk to him, he made threats to sue Anastasia's family without grounds (hoping to bluff them), restisted arrest, and gave three variations of his alibi. When no one could answer those questions, you took down the entire blog to avoid letting others read the inconvenient questions that FBC couldn't answer. The difference here is that you can't take the comments down here. Anyone outside your own Wankfest will be able to read just how guilty Case is, and how you just can't explain the holes in his defense. They'll see what a complete loser you are, and how truly guilty Byron Case is.
I think I'll suggest to the family that they point MODOC to THIS blog, ESPECIALLY since you can't take back any of your statements, with the point that most of this is coming from that "social" group you guys have. Do you think any of your internet buddies on FBC will still talk to you when the MySpace group gets kicked off again, just because you can't keep it in your pants?
Posted On: Thursday, Jul. 10 2008 @ 8:36AMThe Missouri Department of Corrections has no business concerning themselves with the actions of private citizens in a public forum. Byron Case doesn't even read things like this, much less have any involvement, either directly or indirectly, with comments made. He's not some great puppet master orchestrating attacks from a correctional center. The fact of the matter is that he doesn't even like to discuss these things.
We "hide" behind aliases because your camp has proven itself to be both malicious and obsessive. Hiring a private investigator for the purpose of locating an address where papers can be served is superfluous and equivalent to stalking. How many people would want to volunteer any identification to you after you admit that you HIRED someone to stalk someone?
Posted On: Thursday, Jul. 10 2008 @ 1:12PMThanks again for using a sockpuppet, Aaron, and showing anyone who sees it your cowardice. You just can't defend yourself, so you create new diversions to further cloud the issue.
And you have NEVER addressed the issues I raised as to Byron Case's guilt, so we have to assume you're accepting them. You've been caught on several incorrect statements and outright lies. You won't address them. You just keep attacking me, hoping no one will remember that Byron Case is really guilty, that the proof is out there, and that you can't rebut it.
And Aaron/John, YOU are the ones with the guerilla tactics. Don Buchwalter is NOT a member of our "camp", just a defector from yours. Other than apologizing to the family for his earlier actions, he has had no contact with us. The truth is, you've all been hiding for a long time before Mr. Buchwalter defected, and a long time before I started calling you on your lies.
Serving legal papers is "stalking"??? Well, welcome to AaronWorld, everyone. A PI took all of 5 minutes to run your name through a police search (she got more information off his criminal record than anywhere else), and it took that much time just to confirm that you hadn't been missed somewhere when he only showed up at his parent's house. But when you've made up such a fake life for yourself, have a real possibility of being directly responsible for your friends' little "social" group being taken down, AND you've spent so much time denying reality, yeah, I guess you can redefine a well-understood legal principal to say that you DON'T stalk but that everyone who doesn't like you DOES stalk.
Stalk you? Don't need to. I live more than a state apart from you, and you still live with your parents. And about a year ago, the FBC web site USED to ask for money, for legal advice, AND . . . wait for it . . . A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR!! For what purpose was YOUR side wanting a P.I.? Don't worry, we ALL know, though I'll bet you weren't worried about already being stalked by someone like Aaron.
You're all hypocrites. You were going to use a P.I. for the same reason you do anything, to hurt people. You're not trying to uncover evidence that will exonerate Case, you just want to harm others.
Just remember, YOU started it. I have copies of all of those crazy emails you wrote to Patrick, making wild accusations, apologizing and then having a nutty again within the same message. We have a history of all the threats you've made, and a list of the people you've stated you hate. We have the complete canon of wild ramblings that Evelyn Case used to anonymously vandalize our guest book. We know it was her who anonymously called police to make accusations against Patrick.
Man, if we ever stooped to YOUR level of attacks, you'd REALLY be crying.
When you can explain rationally why you sent out the email with Patrick's address, only THEN will you be able to discuss "stalking" without everyone laughing at you. Glass houses, asshole. You're nothing but a hypocrite. All you're able to do now is hide behind sockpuppets and accuse me of being a big meanie. I have shown you that we have the proof of your incitement to harass, and you just keep changing the subject when we all know you're lying. As your friend Byron about how well that kind of tactic worked for him.
Posted On: Thursday, Jul. 10 2008 @ 6:26PMFKJ: You do your cause absolutely no good by coming on this forum and acting a like an obsessed crazy person, spewing venom and personally attacking anyone and everyone that you can.
Is this how you have chosen to honor Anastasia? By focusing on your hate?
If so, you have some serious issues.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jul. 15 2008 @ 8:27AMOoh, you got me. Wait, no, you missed again.
Okay, but why are you describing Aaron? He's the one obsessing on Patrick Rock, Robert WitbolsFeugen, and Kelly Moffett, and has been doing so for over six years now. Aaron is the crazy one who makes up stories about his own life.
That's Aaron again, who has actually used the word "hate" to describe his feelings toward those people, and to myself as well. I've only gone after two people, both of whom have constantly soiled themselves with hateful attacks against Anastasia's family, and my "venom" against Aaron has been to bust him on his lies. My "venom" against Evelyn Case (who has never had the courage to put her name to a single slander of hers) has only been to repeat stories that her son told about her. Either Evelyn's a slut and a truly bad parent, or Byron was lying through his teeth. Which is it?
Is THIS how you defend Byron Case, by slanderously attacking others? You're all hypocrites.
Anastasia's 29th birthday should have been yesterday, and not a single one of you has the moral right to speak of "honoring" Anastasia.
As for "hate", see the above. You guys already tried this kind of crap on Thoughts.com, trying to claim that Anastasia wouldn't want me to do this. Well, my response, to quote "Mrs. Vermeulen" (I honestly thought that was referring to Aaron's mother when I first saw it), Fuck off. None of you knew her, none of you know what would be in her heart, none of you have even read the letter she wrote two days before her murder that said specifically "Byron can go fuck himself for all I care". As is stated on our website,
she still speaks for us all.
The hatred that has spewed from the FBC group has gone unabated for six years, and this whining that it does now is just proof that they can dish it out, but they can't take it. I have a lot more things I can say about both Aaron and Evelyn, but I made the point so that they know what the golden rule is. THEY'VE been doing to others (and have been lying while at it), so they shouldn't feel so surprised that others might do to them. The other point I made is the one that you're all still afraid to address.
ONE MORE TIME: All you can do is attack, and there's no one listening except yourselves. What you fail to do is honestly defend against the charges raised.
Case made a tacit confession that helped convict him.
Don Rand saw nothing that helped Byron Case's alibi.
When Aaron casts suspicion on Robert WitbolsFeugen, he is just making shit up, deliberately misinterpreting information to assert his "theory", and is using arguments he plainly knows to be false.
Every time you try to change the subject, you are in effect admitting you can't answer the charges, and that the charges are true.
BTW, Aaron, WHY did you send out that email with Rock's and Moffett's personal contact information on it? I say it was an attempt at harassment. What's your excuse? What's that? Silence? "We shouldn't talk about this"? That's a familiar response.
I don't hate any of you, not even Aaron, who's too pathetic to hate. I do, however think that you are all fools and/or liars.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jul. 15 2008 @ 3:10PMWorking on a post. Didn't want to write something down in a hurry. Wanted to be tactful and show a little more compassion and sympathy. On my upcoming post I will discuss several things, including my reasoning for my e-mail, which was in fact 98% true.
In the mean time, I will share
this letter that Byron sent me six years ago, before I started researching the case for myself. Do your own research!
AV out. :)
September 17th, 2002
Dear Aaron,
Oh man, you would have to ask me for specifics about the Sheriff's Department investigation! It's cool, though; I needed to get back into that pile of paperwork for a little refresher course, anyway.
The report I mentioned in which Robert WitbolsFeugen made his weird appearance in Lincoln cemetery was written by Deputy David Epperson (the officer who originally found Anastasia' S body) and is dated October 24th, 1997. In it, Epperson writes that he and Deputies Montgomery and Ebert went to Lincoln Cemetery. He writes: "Upon approaching the circle drive I observed Mr. WitbolsFeugen to be standing with his hands on his hips standing directly over the exact location where I had found Anastasials body on 10-23-97. Mr. WitbolsFeugen was looking at the ground for approximately five seconds before turning around and seeing me. Upon seeing me he appeared startled and turned around walking very quickly towards my police vehicle with his left hand tucked firmly in his pocket. Mr. WitbolsFeugen approached me and asked “Am I close?” referring to where the body was found. I again advised Mr. WitbolsFeugen that he should contact the detective unit for specific information and he spontaneously stated ‘what are you guys doing following me? 1’m not the bad guy. You guys should be out looking for the bad guy!’ I then attempted to calm him down by advising him that we were there to check his closure to his grief."
This same report makes mention of Robert w.’ s claim that he was in the vicinity at about 11: 30 on the evening of the 22nd when he heard a gunshot. The report reads: "I observed Mr. WitbolsFeugen's demeanor change when he began talking about the gunshot and describe his actions upon hearing [it]. He appeared to switch from grieving parent to excited and colorful, describing in detail his emotion upon hearing the gunshot."
The life insurance policies Robert W. had on Anastasia both named him as sole beneficiary and were through Cuna Insurance Company (a $20,000 policy taken out in February of 1992) and J.e. Penny Insurance Company (a $12,000 policy taken out on 10-20-97). I'm not entirely sure if the Penny’s policy paid out or not because, around July of '98, WitbolsFeugen filed a complaint with the company. A Penny's representative told Sergeant Killgore (who was in charge of the investigation) that the only reason they hadn't paid the death benefit was because WitbolsFeugen refused to sign their Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement forms. Whatever the hell this was all about, I have no idea.
As far as WitbolsFeugen giving false information goes, there were so many instances of this, I don't know where to begin. The most obvious and blatant example of this was his story about: having seen my white '90 Pontiac 6000LE on Truman Road that night (impossible, because it was at Burch Engine Service for a bad water pump at that time). He changed this story many times. Later versions mention a long procession of cars moving away from the direction of Lincoln Cemetery and my red Merkur XR4Ti (which I didn't even own until July of ’98) being one of them. He even went so far as to compile detailed lists of the cars’ colors and license plate numbers, which he swore were accurate despite ten months having passed since the night in question. There were more details added to the story as time went on, but he maintained that he saw me racing down the road “white as a sheet".
WitbolsFeugen also lied to police about when he got off work that night, first claiming that he was working until 9:00, then saying he was at a friend's house, then claimed to have been at a meeting after leaving work. I don't know that his alibis were ever actually investigated. There's nothing in the discovery about it, anyway.
Sigh. I think that covers all your questions from that last letter. As always, let me know if you've got more. For right now I'm going to end so I can get this out in the morning mail. More soon, I promise.
Byron
Posted On: Thursday, Jul. 17 2008 @ 9:35PMAaron, I'm all for "tactful" and "compassionate" if you're game to try it. However, I really DO expect a rational explanation for your having sent out that email last year. Since you refrained from name-calling in your last post, I will also.
We already have the letter you quoted from Byron Case. You sent it to Patrick in 2002, among the emails you sent out. It quotes the police report that you already mentioned in your other post. Again, on the day that report was made, it was absolutely obvious where Anastasia's body had fallen (I've seen photos that Robert shot of the area from that day), though perhaps not the exact angle, and her father was in an understandably agitated state. It should also be noted that the officer who made that report (Epperson) later testified for the prosecution in Case's trial. The only cross-examination he got was whether or not he could tell if the act "was committed by a stranger or an acquaintance of the victim". He had an opportunity to ask about Robert WitbolsFeugen and did not.
And before you fall back on the tired old "incompetent lawyer" argument, it should be noted that Byron Case has already run that appeal through the courts and didn't blame his attorney for that "mistake". You have to expect that he had a hand in his own defense strategy, since he had him offer evidence of the distance from the Amoco to Inland Drive, when that never came up in court otherwise. In addition, Case already lost his appeal on "Ineffective Counsel", an appellate court having ruled against him in February and the Missouri Supreme Court refused to consider it in May, so his arguments about an "incompetent lawyer" are over and done with as far as appeals go. If you're trying to free your guy from prison, arguing issues that the court has already ruled upon (and which cannot be used any further as a basis for appeal) is a waste of time.
You seem to be depending a lot on the idea that if there's not a document declaring Robert WitbolsFeugen innocent, he must still be under suspicion. In debate, that is called an "argument from ignorance" (argumentum ad ignorantiam): if you cannot prove me wrong, then I must be right, regardless of whether I have any evidence myself.
It doesn't work that way. Cops don't make reports saying "I have checked this suspect out and he/she is clean". As many times as Robert WitbolsFeugen requested interviews with Sgt. Kilgore, and as hostile as they had been toward each other, if he had been considered even the slightest bit suspect, Kilgore would have run him down with a tank and grilled him at least one time when he had the opportunity. He didn't do so.
You keep wanting to cast aspersions, but you could call Sgt. Kilgore at the Sheriff's Department today and ask him whether or not he suspected Robert. You don't do that. It seems you'd rather keep false suspicion alive than have it confirmed or refuted. You're more interested in the issue than its resolution.
As for the insurance policy, Case wrote his letter to you BEFORE you wrote your letter to Patrick apologizing for having put up such "crazy questions". I am assuming that this issue is closed for good now, and that you understand that Robert took policies out on his entire family, NOT just Anastasia.
And I asked earlier for you to show DELIBERATE intent to mislead on Robert's part, as opposed to a distraught father battling with a frustratingly slow police investigation, and I've seen nothing there.
I've answered your latest issues, and I'm still waiting for you to respond to the issue of the tacit admission, with something other than what the jury already heard and rejected.
We did, and I do not consider a letter from the convicted killer trying to cast aspersions and suspicion upon others in the case for which he was convicted to be much research in itself.
Take your time if you wish, I'm busy with other stuff for the weekend and the next day or two afterward.
Posted On: Friday, Jul. 18 2008 @ 10:40AMFJK... FKJ?? Anyway, Yes... I was snitched on by a guy. He had once been a really good friend, but he wanted to get to my girlfriend, and took me out by telling the cops about burglaries we had done together. Yep... did 'em all. The prosecutor was fair, and the judge was just. I was guilty and plead so as well... I knew it was wrong also!! Imagine that. I just did dumb stuff when I was young and got a 14 year prison sentance out of stealing about 3,000 dollars. Seemd fair to the state of Missouri... I did my time for my wrongs against society, and a professional board of people who work for the state of Missouri deemed my time fair and just and decided to release me back out into society. I'm sorry they didn't contact you regarding this, but hey, you are of little matter to anyone anyways, right? So, nowadays I work and earn everything I have and have a real appreciation for life and not wasting it... sound like you could learn a thing or two from a "stint". I doubt you have the depth of character to hack it in a place like that though, so you might be better off. All that time spent with Byron however, living in a cell with him 24 hours a day... well, I did get to read a lot you know, the state is required to furnish any and all evidence against an accused TO the accused. A lot of discussions. Strange thing is, I've spent a lot of time with murderers and such... but I can say I was never in fear of Byron Case at any moment, ever. He's not a murderer... doesn't have it in him.
Posted On: Thursday, Aug. 7 2008 @ 10:36PMJamie,
It's the latter. Frank K. Jung. BTW, Jung was Anastasia's maternal grandfather's name as well. We're all distantly related to the psychiatrist Carl Jung.
I did not mention your criminal past to embarrass you, so the confession was not really necessary. I apologize if it came over that way. Besides, I already knew your record. I brought it up because Byron Case wants us all to believe that he is a victim of (1) a vindictive and pathological liar of an eyewitness, (2) corrupt police, (3) a ruthlessly ambitious prosecutor, (4) an easily misled jury, (5) an incompetent defense attorney, and (6) a lazy and indifferent judge, and I asked you (in so many words) as someone with that kind of experience, whether you honestly believe from all your experiences that every single one of those misfortunes happened to him, as it requires all six for him to be as lily-white innocent as you believe and still be convicted, according to his official story.
You're probably right, I lack so much "depth of character" that I've never gotten in trouble with the law outside of a traffic ticket. At the same age where you were doing all your self-described "dumb stuff", and Byron Case was doing cocaine and playing video games with friends, I was working my way through college, earning a Bachelors and Masters . . . sorry that I'm so comparatively shallow. I now work in a private criminalistics lab. And just as you do, I work hard and I earned everything I own. And having seen so many lives destroyed or damaged by crime, I have an acute appreciation for life, just as you do, if for different reasons.
Now, if we're finished trading insults, let's actually discuss the case.
In the course of this forum you stated that I seem to remember reading in the transcript (for one source) about how the forensic investigator (who was an intern filling in while the "main man" was away on vacation) (June 4, 2007), when the "main man" (Jackson County Medical Examiner) DID perform the autopsy, while the DEPUTY Jackson County Medical Examiner testified when he was unavailable, and contrary to your belief from your reading, no "intern" was involved. For all that reading and discussion, your interpretations are selective, almost as if you read and interpreted things through the filter of Byron Case. I don't think you're now capable of removing the filter to view the evidence without the bias of your friendship.
One of your last comment involved your personal (and IMO baseless) speculation that Kelly Moffett could have been threatened by prosecutors to get her to testify, which is a change from the original party line of "she did it for the money" or "she did it for revenge". This is the second reason I mentioned your time in the pen; my job sometimes requires working closely with ex-cons, and while I have no problem with guys (and women) who have served their time, owned up to their mistakes, and are now on the straight and narrow, I have noted that many if not most of them casually accept the concept that ANY con who makes such a claim is to automatically be believed. But stories like that involve snitches with prior records trying to avoid hard time. Kelly Moffett had no prior record, and had been the one to approach the Prosecutor's office. And besides, you've deviating from Official Party Line. Most ex-cons who have done hard time also claim to have a sixth sense for telling whether someone is lying or not, yet in practice have no such ability. They make mistakes and trust the wrong people as much as anyone without prison time, if not more.
And I'm sure that it's possible he doesn't "have it in him". . . at least not now. I'm sure he didn't have it in him byt the time he was arrested in 2001, having gotten his desire to kill out in 1997. You didn't meet Case until he had a reason to appear benign and harmless, when he needed help from all. You make a poor character reference, if only because you never saw the arrogance and general manipulativeness of the cocaine-using high school dropout when he hung around Kansas City's coffeehouses. The third reason I brought up your background is that I have never met a single person who admitted to a crime who believed they would or could get caught for their crime at the time they committed it. This goes from shoplifting all the way up to murder. Byron Case, whether or not he ever admits to the murder, did not believe he'd be caught for it. That's why he was so uncomfortable talking directly about the murder to Kelly Moffett on that tape, yet had no problem a minute later advising her to tell police that she "couldn't remember" if they asked her any hard questions. "Doesn't have it in him"? Well, you weren't crowding out his time with his best friend (a best friend who occasionally bought him drugs and gave him a place to crash) as Anastasia did, you didn't see through and challenge his bullshit the way Anastasia did, and he was living in a tightly controlled and monitored world with consequences for his actions when you knew him, something that was not true when he killed Anastasia. There are at least two Byron Cases here (probably more): the one who lived off of friends and family, told lies about himself and his family, and thought himself immune to the consequences of his actions, and the one who got caught. That second one still tells lies, but he's more careful about them.
And this note to all: I really am not attmpting to change your mind. If you believe this, you believe it, and no amount of counter argument will sway you. But if you all plan to go on a public board like this and repeat false and/or unverifiable claims, I will challenge them. If you keep bringing up arguments that you wouldn't dare use in court for lack of evidence (or for the equally important reason that the court has already considered the argument and disagreed), I will challenge that. If you try to answer reasonable arguments with personal attacks, remember that it is a double-edged sword, and you may cut yourselves if you draw it again.
I'm still waiting for Aaron to return and "explain" the email he passed around to members of FBC with Rock's and Moffett's personal contact information, to explain how it was anything but an incitement to harass them, and exactly how he thought such an action would help Byron Case's claims of innocence. I'm also waiting for him to explain his "98% true" claim that he made at that time.
I'm also still waiting for the FBC site to explain how Byron Case could have been arrested and not told why without a Miranda objection being raised at his trial. I'm waiting for them to explain exactly which "prosecution witnesses" Kelly Moffett's testimony was at odds with, and exactly which of the "very laws of physics" did her testimony defy. I'm still waiting for them to prove that Don Rand saw anything that "vouched for Byron case's innocence" without having to stretch the laws of physics themselves.
You can make all the unverifiable and false claims you want on behalf of Byron Case, but they ARE lies, and you all know it. And if you know they're lies, then you know he's guilty.
Posted On: Friday, Aug. 8 2008 @ 11:25AMFKJ .. ok .. first of all i think the only reason you are on here is (1) you dont have a happy life ( that shit is obvious) go get layed or something ..(2) i seriously think you are on here to confuse everyone into beleiveing your story .. "you cherry pick small items you think will "prove" your assertions" -FKJ .. you talk about yourself and don't even realize it.
Posted On: Wednesday, Aug. 13 2008 @ 10:52PM"Nicole", if you're going to be a sockpuppet for Aaron, at least you could try to sound different than him. Instead of addressing the issues, you simply attack those who disagree with your view of reality. Are you all sure you're not the Bush Administration?
The Don Rand "third party" is an example of cherry picking, as it's obvious from both his statements to police and his cross-examination that he did not see anyone arguing or looking upset, and it's also obvious that he saw an eastbound vehicle on the south side of the road and not a westbound one on the north side. By carefully avoiding that, and going only with his discredited direct testimony (the stuff that he had to admit on cross was false), you cherry-picked that information.
By ignoring Byron Case's tacit admission, you cling to the claim that Kelly Moffett's testimony was the only thing used to convict Case. That is cherry-picking.
You keep claiming that Kelly Moffett was an "embittered ex-girlfriend" who would put herself through the hell of testifying in a murder trial just as "revenge" for Case breaking up with her, yet ignore the fact that Moffett broke up with Case (not the other way around), and that it was nearly two years before she talked to prosecutors. By carefully misstating the facts, you make it sound like it all happened in a period of weeks. Cherry picking.
By ignoring Byron Case's August 1998 phone conversation with the detective, the one in which he refused to come in for an interview and said he "had better things to do", you claim that Case had no idea he was a suspect and that he cooperated with police.
Even though you already knew the facts of Robert WitbolsFeugen's life insurance policies (took them out on his entire family, and only when a salesman called), you still present it like important evidence. The only evidence it presents is to show just how far you will go to misinterpret facts to your own advantage. Cherry picking.
By putting on the FBC website an absolutely false statement about Case's arrest, you make it sound like he was "disappeared" by the Secret Police, that he was "dragged from his bed" and that his pleas of "why?" were met with silence. The fact was (according to official reports that he did not challenge in court) that Police came to his house wearing uniforms that could not be mistaken. Case saw them, turned, ran, and tried to barricade himself in his bedroom. He was subdued, handcuffed, informed that he was under arrest for the murder of Anastasia WitbolsFeugen, and read his rights. Your story is not even cherry picking, it's just making shit up.
And "Nicole", just in case you're not Aaron and are just another pathetic sycophant of Case's, my advice is to look in a mirror before you throw stones. I don't expect you to "beleive" my "story", as (A) mine is not the "story" here; I'm just rebutting the falsehoods put out by Aaron and the FBC circle jerk, and (B) you are nothing but a True Believer, and you will believe black is white no matter what proof otherwise is shown you. I wouldn't try to make you believe anything else any more than I'd try to convert a Jehovah's Witness. Just isn't worth expending the breath.
And I'm comfortable with my life and my career, and I don't hide my name, unlike those of you who have to hide your identities behind aliases and sockpuppets. I'm just not comfortable with ignorant people insulting Anastasia's memory by telling so many lies to make her killer seem "innocent". This blog's original writer was correct: Byron Case is a sociopath.
I'm not trying to convince YOU, I'm putting this out to protect any innocent bystanders who might stumble across this and actually believe the paranoiac rants of a convicted murderer's fan club if there was no rebuttal.
Aaron and Evelyn made a point of slandering people with false information, so I responded with facts about them and about their boy, facts that they are not comfortable with. They put up claims about the murder and investigation, I put up facts to rebut those claims.
Got anything constructive to add to the debate? Something other than mindless attacks? No? Then you're just wasting bandwidth, which is what you seem to do best.

Whose face got blown off with gun
Her creepy cousin went nuts
Posted On: Thursday, Aug. 14 2008 @ 4:03PMAnd now to get his rocks off
He uses the Plog as a soapbox
Jamie, I thought I'd give it a day to see if you or anyone else from FBC wanted to distance yourself from "Uncle" here, but it's apparent that you do not or cannot. I'm guessing this clown thought it would be hilarious to turn your regular "ring and run" game into something even more juvenile, insulting the memory of a murder victim and anyone associated with her. He/she must have expected to enrage me, but has failed in that attempt. "uncle" only serves to confirm what I've said all along about the majority of this group: they are pathetic.
The fact that no one on your side has ever repudiated such actions just paints you with the same brush that "uncle" uses. It's infantile, and it does nothing to help the object of your concern.
I will not try to match "uncle"'s attempts at bad poetry, but instead inject a taste of reality: Byron Case has already failed in his first two appeals, and they were his big guns. He might be able to concoct another one or two appeals, but they will be increasingly desperate and will be proportionately bigger failures. Byron Case will spend the rest of his life in prison, and he will die within those walls. If any of you believed differently, you wouldn't waste your time on activities like "uncle" has. The fact that any of you resort to such childish behavior shows how hopeless your cause is.
And he deserves to be there. You keep harping on what they didn't produce at his trial, but won't own up to what they DID produce: in effect, he confessed to the murder in his conversation with Kelly Moffett by his specific refusal to talk about it.
Jamie, while I disagree with your perspective, I respect your right to have it. However, if you cast your lot with creeps like "Uncle" here (and you are known by the company you keep), then I have no respect for you at all.
Posted On: Friday, Aug. 15 2008 @ 4:58PMFrank K. Jung, please try to get over it already. Go out someplace. Have a drink. Have sex. Read a book. Join a social group. Do something, anything outside of obsessing over a girl who has been dead for years and the man who is now in prison for life for her murder.
Everything is as you want it now. Just take a deep breath. Let go. There is more to life than just going on and on about something that you have no control over anymore. The people that you hate on here are not going to give you the sort of peace that you are seeking, that is for sure. All you are doing is feeding your own hate and theirs. Can't you see that you are not going to change anyone's mind or that neither are they going to change yours?
Let go.
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 4 2008 @ 3:37PMFirst, please understand that you are no "friend" of mine, and that I seek no peace or solace from any of you. As I said in my last post (and as you apparently failed to understand then), I'm not trying to convince any of you; I'm posting rebuttals so that any person who stumbles on this site and sees all the lies written in the name of B. Case can see the other side as well. You don't like me here because you don't like to see any evidence that refutes your claims.
When you have lost a loved one to a violent crime, then and ONLY then are you qualified to give such advice as you so condescendingly offer to me.
Hey, let's try this:
Byron Case is in prison for life without any chance of parole. He will never get out. He will die behind those walls. Get over it. Take a deep breath and let it go. There is more to life than obsessing on some jailbird who's been there for seven years now and will be till he dies. There's more to life than spewing hatred towards the family of his victim and towards the witness who turned in the killer. Just let it go.
Now, read that last paragraph again a few times. Didn't that feel condescending to you? It's exactly how anything you say comes out to me. You want to argue that Case is alive and Anastasia is not? He killed her, so yes we still have a bit of a grudge about that. You want to argue that Case is innocent? No he is not. He has not proven that to any appeals court, and your "evidence" has not moved that debate any further.
I hate to have to repeat this point again, but apparently you all are slow learners.
I came on to this blog because I was sick and tired of Aaron Vermeulen sending out his threats that he was going to produce some "real dirt" on people, accusing Anastasia's family of things he could not prove, and laughing like a nasty little boy. When he sent out an email to his friends on FBC with Patrick Rock's and Kelly Moffett's personal contact info with an implied invitation to all to harass them, I've called him on that a number of times and he has never yet had the guts to explain it, or even apologize for it. In his last post here, he said he'd explain his letter, but that was in mid-July. He's been in hiding since.
We are fully aware that the anonymous attacks against Patrick and against Anastasia's father are "courtesy" of Evelyn Case, who continues to stalk Robert WitbolsFeugen to this day. Several months ago, she called Robert's house to ask his wife if they were divorcing. She was apparently disappointed at the negative reply, but it didn't stop her from ranting for over 20 minutes about her darling boy. They recorded part of the conversation and reported it to the Victim's Liaison with the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office. She tried to call the police anonymously and accuse Patrick of molestation. We all know it was you, Evelyn, and you're more likely a molester than Patrick. You let your son be molested and never dealt with it.
I don't monitor this blog, but my search engine keeps pulling it up whenever someone posts some new, obsessive comment. The search engine just reports when any site containing Anastasia's name gets updated, and there are over 200 comments on this blog, the vast majority of them vicious attacks from you people.
I do not obsess about Anastasia. I help Patrick maintain her memorial in order to keep alive the memory of a good person who died long before her time. What's your excuse? You believe Case is innocent? Then prove it, dammit. Show me proof consistent with the facts already known. Show me that Justin Bruton killed Anastasia in a scenario that matches evidence. Aaron claims Robert WitbolsFeugen did it, but cannot present a scenario in which he COULD have done so.
Case has already been convicted and has lost two (actually three) appeals, and his web site has never bothered to tell you that bad news (hard to raise funds when there's no appeal; guess he's just using the money for cigarettes and pay per view now). This case is past the time of trying to reintroduce old issues that were taken care and disposed of in pre-trial, trial, or appeal. If you have nothing new, then you have nothing at all.
And so, "A Friend", I don't hate anyone on here, I just don't respect anyone here. I disrespect Aaron because he's spread so many lies and exaggerations, and seems to enjoy the masturbatory schadenfreude he gets from attacking others in his obscene game of ring and run. I disrespect Evelyn Case because of all her anonymous spamming of our memorial site's guest book, the fact that she cannot admit the shitty job she did creating that monster. I have no respect for the rest of you because you're all so willing to accept and believe Case's lies, so much that you completely ignore any evidence that disagrees with those lies.
If you'd like me to "let go", here's the way: take your whiny complaints about what a raw deal Byron Case got onto your Facebook site, or just put new posts in the FBC guestbook, or JUST TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE PRIVATE. If you want to make public comments on a space like this, where everyone has the opportunity to reply, I promise I will reply. Otherwise, fuck off.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 6 2008 @ 11:05PMFrank K. Jung, so full of hate, so unable to find some useful outlet for his anger. Hate is a terrible thing and will ultimately consume you. Stop hating and learn to let go.
Posted On: Monday, Sep. 8 2008 @ 5:16PMI agree. All Frank Jung does is come on here and tell people who don't agree with him to fuck off. Some spokesperson for the memory of a murder victim! He reminds me of John Mark Byers (the stepfather of victim Christopher Byers in the West Memphis Three case).
Posted On: Friday, Sep. 12 2008 @ 8:31AMFrom here on out, you are not "A Friend" or "Anonymous", but "A Coward" or "A Total Wanker". You who play this high-school game of ring and run, anonymously hiding behind your sockpuppets, are all cowards. I will not answer any of you directly, but I will continue to respond to your obsessions. You never actually defend your beliefs here, you just try to change the subject. As long as you are still here, I'll come back.
As far as your "advice" to "stop hating and let it go", you should direct that advice at Aaron Vermeullen and Evelyn Case. Evelyn still stalks the father of her son's victim, and Aaron tries to incite harassment against members of the victim's family.
Here are some questions for you:
If Byron Case had been such a totally innocent man:
(1) Why has he consistently tried to hide the fact that he knew all along that he was a suspect?
(2) Why did he refuse to come in to speak to police when asked in 1998, telling them that he had "more important things to do"?
(3) Why did he resist arrest? And why does his web site lie about his arrest?
(4) Why, when directly asked why he killed Anastasia, did Case change the subject instead of responding with a denial? Why, after changing the subject, did he continue to advise Kelly Moffett to deal with police by saying "I don't remember"?
If Byron Case was such a good friend to Anastasia:
(5) Why would Anastasia, two nights before her murder, send a letter to Justin Bruton with the specific phrase that "Byron can go fuck himself"?
(6) Why did Byron Case complain that, because of Anastasia, he was able to spend less time with Justin?
(7) Why did Case, only weeks before the murder, leave such a vicious message on his pager, a message that even one of his defense witnesses admitted was out of line?
Here are seven questions. My guess is that you won't come up with a reasonable, rational, or believable answer to a single one. The pattern so far has been to avoid the question entirely by attacking the questioner, by changing the subject, or by otherwise parsing words and playing games with the answer. Is Karl Rove writing your material?
I put these up here to document for all the fact that it is the Byron Case side who has been so obsessive and full of hate all along, and that it is the Byron Case side that cannot answer direct questions honestly or rationally.
Here's a bonus eighth question:
(8) Why did Aaron Vermeulen send out an unsolicited email to members of the FBC group with personal contact information on Kelly Moffett and Patrick Rock, other than for the sole purpose of attempting to instigate harassment against them and/or their families? Aaron promised to answer that one almost two months ago, but has so far avoided it. The act itself, attacking a member of the victim's family, seems itself to be an act of obsession.
You are all cowards. Obsessive, immature, hateful cowards at that. I don't hate you, I just don't respect you.
Posted On: Friday, Sep. 12 2008 @ 9:42AMFrank Jung, I don't support Byron Case. But I do think that you do your cause a severe and major disservice by posting such personal attacks against people on this message board. You come off as exactly what I suspect you are: a man who is simply full of hate and using this as an outlet for that hate. Let go, dude or in the alternative, at least shut the fuck up for awhile.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 13 2008 @ 10:22AMAnd again, they cannot answer any questions, they dodge the issues, all they do is attack the questioner.
"A Friend" is Aaron Vermeulen, again hiding behind anonymous sockpuppets and pretending to be multiple individuals. In politics, it's called a "concern troll". He is accusing me of making "personal attacks" against "people on this message board", which is to say he can dish it out but can't take it.
The Hate was started by the FBC group. The FBC group is the one whose attacks against members of the victim's family were baseless and slanderous. The FBC group engaged in deliberate acts of stalking and attempts at harassment. The FBC group has made their attacks anonymous, claiming a fear of the very kinds of attacks in which they've engaged. They've shown themselves to be universally cowardly, and when truthful responses were made against them they retreated and now are begging me to stop, while accusing me of having all their own evil motives.
Karma really is a bitch, isn't it Aaron? It's come back to bite you squarely in the ass.
I still have eight questions out there. No one wants to answer them, but only to attack me. What does that say for them? It says they know that they are wrong and that the only thing they can do to mask it is to attack me and run from the issues. Yeah, Karl Rove MUST be a Byron Case supporter.
Posted On: Saturday, Sep. 13 2008 @ 12:33PMI am not Aaron Vermeulen. I am just a reader of this blog who is interested in both sides of the story. So far, neither side has convinced me of anything outside of the fact that BOTH sides hate each other. Since you are the most vocal on here, I singled you out for being the most obvious hater.
Posted On: Monday, Sep. 15 2008 @ 10:31AM1) You can't be a suspect without any evidence against you. If the police believed Byron Case was a suspect, why couldn't they have made an arrest before Kelly Moffett came forward?
2) He had already told them everything he knew by 1998.
3) Had he actually resisted arrested, he would have been charged with that as well. He closed his bedroom door because he was frightened. Robert WitbolsFeugen might know something about resisting arrest, though.
4) The telephone recording isn't something I am prepared to defend at this point.
5) I'll answer your question with a question: If they weren't good friends, why did Anastasia send an email to Byron a month prior to her murder pleading with him for advice, saying he was the only person she could talk to?
6) Provide documentation of this.
7) Because Anastasia was obsessed with Justin Bruton and paged Byron Case often attempting to track Justin down. That would irritate just about anyone.
8) You already know the answer to that one.
Posted On: Monday, Sep. 15 2008 @ 10:54AM"A Wanker" has stated that he is not Aaron Vermeulen, but he still uses the same tactics, calling me "full of hate" and telling me to "let it go", without making any effort to tell anyone else the same, and doing so behind an alias. If this were truly a disinterested third party, he'd have no fear of putting his name on his posts, as I have. Instead, he uses a sockpuppet, and his first post was an attack. What were the odds?
People on my side, who have taken little or no part in this discussion, have been attacked and libeled as pedophiles and killers; I've just reported the true facts about two of the main attackers. Since "A Wanker" has now decided to answer my questions, it is painfully obvious who he was all along. Nice try, Aaron. Actually that's not true; pathetic try, Aaron.
(1) Why has Byron Case consistently tried to hide the fact that he knew all along that he was a suspect?
The "reply":
Case was a suspect all along because he was one of the last three people to have been seen with Anastasia, and his alibi was suspicious. The police already knew that Anastasia had neither struggled with nor run from an assailant, and his alibi would have required such actions. If you disagree, please come up with a believable scenario which does not violate the known forensic evidence.
That, plus Case admitted to Anastasia's family in an email that he knew he was a suspect, and he admitted during his own testimony in court that he knew he was a suspect. For reference please go here (http://www.stasia.org/case_against/correspondence_19980502_bcc2pfr.html) and here (http://www.stasia.org/case_against/transcript_case_b.html#suspect).
However, "suspect" and "defendant" are not the same thing, and a prosecution required more evidence to present to a jury. That evidence came from Kelly Moffett's eyewitness statement, and from Case's own tacit confession.
As far as why did police not arrest him, that answer was contained in the Appellate Court rejection of his first appeal. Case argued that police should not have gotten the taped conversation between him and Moffett, as they had probable cause to arrest him when Moffett came forward. The Court's reply was that "Case might be right that the police had probable cause to arrest him in September 2000. But, there 'is no constitutional right to be arrested,' and the police 'are under no constitutional duty to call a halt to a criminal investigation the moment they have the minimum evidence to establish probable cause.'
(2) Why did Case refuse to come in to speak to police when asked in 1998, telling them that he had "more important things to do"?
The "reply":
And that was HIS call to make? The police asked him to come in multiple times, and he refused. Either he was the most arrogant asshole to ever be innocent, or he was avoiding having to answer the same questions again and risk tripping up.
(3) Why did Case resist arrest? And why does his web site lie about his arrest?
The "reply":
Police testimony during the trial was that he resisted arrest. There is no grey area here. This attempt at rewriting history is again pathetic. Yeah, they had him for Murder One and Armed Criminal Action; why not slap a 30-day sentence for Resisting as well? Yeah, right.
Why was he "frightened" of police, who were easy to recognize and were identifying themselves? Because they were there to arrest him for murder. Any normal (i.e., innocent) person would have stood there and raised their hands, and hoped for an explanation.The description on the web site is a plain lie, probably told by Case himself. You know he was not "dragged from his bed" because he ran from the living room into his bedroom and was busy trying to push his door closed when they subdued him. He was informed as soon as he was handcuffed on what charges he was being arrested, and he was informed of his Miranda rights. He asked no questions of the officers; one of the officers said he bawled like a baby while being taken away.
Gotcha Aaron! God, you are such a wanker. You claim you're just a third party, but you couldn't resist standing up and exposing yourself, could you? Yeah, WitbolsFeugen has been a political activist since Anastasia's murder and has pissed off several members of the legislature. They had him arrested for "resisting arrest"; what crime was he resisting being arrested for? "Disorderly conduct"; when was he doing this "disorderly conduct"? While they were arresting him. It's a vicious circle: can't have done the first crime without the second, and can't have done the second crime without the first. This was a political arrest to shut a critic down.But you know all about that Aaron. I've seen a few of your rants on politics, some of which are well thought out. You hate the Republicans, but you use their tactics here, always trying to misdirect. Why is that?
(4) Why, when directly asked why he killed Anastasia, did Case change the subject instead of responding with a denial? Why, after changing the subject, did he continue to advise Kelly Moffett to deal with police by saying "I don't remember"?
And an honest reply:
Waiting for your buddy Byron to give you his "explanation"? Well, he didn't come up with one at trial, for all the months of preparation he had.
What you have never understood (or at least have never admitted to) is that it was never and issue of what the Prosecution didn't have against him ("No DNA!" "No weapon!" "No motive that we believe!"), but what it DID have against him, and his own words were among the most damning evidence they had.
She asked him, "[W]hy, seriously, why did you have to kill her?" He gave her silence.
She asked again, "[E]xplain to me as to why you actually felt the need to kill her," and he gave her silence again.
When she said, "I mean, was there, seriously, any reason to all of this?", his reply was "We shouldn't talk about this."
A moment later, he told her that he had "immunity" (a concept he was quite mistaken about), and then told her "I told my lawyer flat out that I didn’t -- I wasn’t going to remember things. Told the cops that, too. I was, like, 'I can’t remember things'," and then advised her to do the same whenever she spoke to them.
These were the words the jury heard, and these words more than anything else convicted him. He had numerous opportunities to protest, to tell her she was crazy for accusing him, and it was already known during his trial that he knew at the time that he was a suspect (why else would they have called Kelly in for questioning as often as they did?), and the rationalizations just do not work.
(5) Why would Anastasia, two nights before her murder, send a letter to Justin Bruton with the specific phrase that "Byron can go fuck himself"?
The "reply":
Provide your documentation for this claim, proving that such an email actually came from Anastasia, just as I showed the path from which your "Surprise from FBC" email sprang. I've never seen this email. Case made no effort to introduce it at trial to show that they were good friends, and I suspect it's just another manufactured after the fact item.
And you still did not answer my question. Why did Anastasia write her letter only two nights before her murder, making no effort to keep it from Case's eyes, if they were such "good friends"? You can read the letter in its entirety here: "http://www.stasia.org/case_against/letterfromAnastasia.html".
(6) Why did Byron Case complain that, because of Anastasia, he was able to spend less time with Justin?
Testimony of Evelyn Case, State v. Case. It's on our web site. Byron Case was questioned about that during his own cross-examination, and he could not contradict his mother's testimony.
(7) Why did Case, only weeks before the murder, leave such a vicious message on his pager, a message that even one of his defense witnesses admitted was out of line?
The actual message was "Leave a message unless this is Anastasia. Nobody is going to bother to call you back," a message that even his defense witness, Tara McDowell, admitted in testimony that she felt was far over the line and simply mean. Case used a similar defense in his testimony, but this is not the kind of message you leave for a "good friend", especially a message that all your other friends to hear.
(8) Why did Aaron Vermeulen send out an unsolicited email to members of the FBC group with personal contact information other than for the sole purpose of attempting to instigate harassment against them and/or their families?
The "reply":
So, the answer is that you are an arrogant asshole and that you really were trying to incite harassment in a pathetic attempt at "revenge", and you now refuse to address it now because you're such a coward.
Some more:
(9) Aaron, why did you consider those times of consuming quantities of cocaine with Byron and then playing video games to be the "good old days"? Evelyn Case (on this forum, 6/14/07) blamed his cocaine use on having been "turned on to it" by someone. Was it you? Or did he get you interested in it?
(10) Evelyn also (in that same post) still insists that her son's felony conviction for stealing was reduced to a misdemeanor. This is untrue; he was identified during his trial (years after that conviction) as a prior felony offender, while he was in the courtroom, and he made no effort to argue the point. Did he forget? Is Evelyn just hallucinating? Or did Byron Case just lie to his friends and family, telling them he'd gotten it reduced?
Posted On: Monday, Sep. 15 2008 @ 5:33PMHere's a followup on my statements and questions from yesterday:
First, we all know it's you, Aaron, behind the "A Friend" and even the "Anonymous" posts of the last week. You tried to pretend that you were just someone who was reading the posts from a neutral standpoint, going so far as to say you didn't support Byron Case. But all through it, you were a partisan in his cause, and when you took a dig at Robert WitbolsFeugen, you left absolutely no doubt as to your identity.
Be honest for a change, Aaron. You've been lying about so many things throughout this, and you're not particularly good at it; you keep getting caught in your lies, and you look worse each time. Jamie has been the only poster here other than you and me for the last couple of months, and you're the only one hiding behind an alias. Just stop it. I won't respect you less for 'fessing up. I really can't respect you much less than I already do.
As for the questions and current responses:
(1) You are attempting to redefine "suspect" as a legal concept by asserting that police would have to arrest him if he were a suspect; this is not true. Police usually make arrests only when they believe they've gathered enough evidence to bring it to trial. As long as both Byron Case and Kelly Moffett stuck to the same story, police had little to go on other than the flimsiness of their alibi.
You know the alibi, the one that required Anastasia to have been inexplicably lost, to have obliviously wandered the wrong direction uphill on an unmarked cemetery road, and to have found just at that time a waiting killer, a killer who did not want to rob or sexually assault his victim, and even didn't want to let his victim know he was there. Forensic evidence showed no sign of struggle, and even showed that Anastasia had been surprised by her killer, that she hadn't even bothered to look around or behind her until the last second of her life. You've obviously never walked through a cemetery at dark if you believe all that was possible.
(2) Byron Case was recorded on tape telling Kelly Moffett that he made it clear to police that he just "couldn't remember things". The fact that police wanted him to come in again, and were so interested in talking to him that they granted him limited immunity (a promise they would not use anything from that specific interview against him) in order to get him in. As he was being asked in August 1998 to come in, you can see the arrogance in his reply, saying "I have more important things to do with my time than, you know, run around in circles" in his refusal. The FBC web site does not have that conversation among its documents; when they say they want people to have all the facts and make up their own minds, I think they're not as interested as they claim to be.Assuming for sake of argument that Case's alibi was actually true, then his attitude of non-cooperation with police, given that he was one of the last people seen with Anastasia, comes off as someone who didn't give a shit about his so-called "close friend".
(3) When KCMO Police Detective Albert DeValkenaere testified about the arrest of Byron Case, he did not say that Case resisted arrest, he merely described the arrest, and told how Case had turned and run from him and other officers, and had closed and tried to lock his bedroom door before being subdued and arrested. He let the jury fill in the blanks, but the conclusion was obvious. As for him crying, we got that after the trial from a different officer.Please don't play semantics with the issue. There is no doubt that he fled from officers and tried to lock his bedroom door in one desperate attempt to elude arrest. The question is "Why did he do it". Your response (ignoring the claim that he really didn't resist) is that he "was frightened". Granted that he was probably scared shitless by what was happening, but if he were innocent, turning and running would be the absolute last thing he would want to do, as that exact action has gotten more than one suspect shot. It had only been a couple of days since he'd refused to answer Kelly Moffett's question, "Why did you have to kill her?", and he ran because he knew exactly why they were there: to arrest him for the murder of Anastasia WitbolsFeugen.
(4) Again, when you make your claims on the FBC site about no DNA evidence, etc., it is what you don't say that tells the most about you. You don't talk about the implied confession that was audiotaped.The jury never got to see how arrogantly Case behaved toward Anastasia's family, making bogus threats of lawsuits, harassing one of Anastasia's best friends because she had told police about an overheard conversation in 1997 that implicated Case in the murder (just ask Tara McDowell about that one). They didn't need to see that; they got nearly the full flavor of Byron Case from that conversation.
(5) Two nights before Case killed Anastasia, she wrote a letter to Justin in a Word document venting her spleen at Justin, and at Byron Case. Case claimed in his July '99 interview to have never seen the letter before, but since he spent the night before the murder at Justin's home, it's not a really credible claim.And again, as for your claim of Anastasia's email, you'd have to produce that email with all headers visible to prove that it came from her. Even assuming it to be real, you seem to believe that everything written was absolutely honest, and that a person as vain as Byron Case would not respond to empty flattery. Of course he would do so, and Anastasia was actually brighter than case was. Please produce that email with its headers, as well as Case's reply (also with headers) to show that this was an exchange between true friends.
I'm not holding my breath.
(6) So many of you have said you've read the entire transcript of the trial, yet you never remember these things. We actually have that particular question to Case annotated on our transcript. Since you've already read the whole thing at least once, I leave it to you to do the rest of the work on it.
(7) When Case was exchanging emails with Anastasia's family in the months following the murder, he would alternate between calling her a close friend and then telling how annoying she was. I have close friends who can be obsessive about such things (and I note that your side is real big on the word "obsessive", despite it being Evelyn Case who used to vandalize out guestbook), but I dealt with them (if they were friends) in a much different manner, and I know of no true friend who ever treated another in as shitty a way as Byron Case treated Anastasia.
(8) Honest thought is that I know you never believed that we would get a copy of your email; you sent it out to members of FBC and never expected to be ratted out. It matters not; you did it, and your motives were malicious, and it is more telling that none of your friends called you out for it. It's not just that you were an asshole for doing it, it's that the rest of the FBC group were all assholes for implicitly approving of your behavior. (9) I don't need an answer to this one, but please do not try to deny your and Byron Case's heavy cocaine use; we have some documentation on that one, from a source you would never expect.
(10) As of yesterday when I checked (just to be certain), Byron Case STILL has a Felony Stealing conviction on his criminal record. It was NEVER reduced to a misdemeanor. No matter what Evelyn Case believes, her son is once, twice, three times a felon (Stealing, Murder One, ACA). Knowing some of her other statements, I believe that Byron Case still can't tell the truth about himself, and none of you are willing to challenge him on a lie. Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 16 2008 @ 5:26PMFrank Jung, you say "A Friend" should have no fear of putting his name on his posts, as you have."
I think that the fact that you are extremely angry is quite obvious to anyone who reads your daily rantings and ravings on here. (I can imagine spittle flying off your lips if you were speaking).
So that you would think it odd that someone would not want to post using their real name is completely laughable!
I mean, come on, would you want someone as angry and obsessed as you are to know who you are and where you live? No thanks. I'm not ready to give some obsessed mad man any excuse to come after me.
And you scare me, dude. Get help before you end up in prison for something violent that you do.
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 17 2008 @ 4:07PMPoor, pathetic, cowardly Aaron Vermeulen is at it again, avoiding the issues and going on attack just to change the subject. As it is and always shall be.
Aaron, the guy who tried to incite harassment against a person who was an eyewitness in the trial of one of his favorite buddies, thinks HE has reason to be "afraid" of me.
Let me ask you this, Aaron. Do you think I would want someone as obsessed and as angry as YOU to know where I live?
QUESTION 11: What happened to your MySpace "community"? You know, the one to whose members you sent that "Surprise" email with the incitement to harass?
QUESTION 12: The FBC site STILL has the false statement about "a third party witness whose statement the day after the murder took place vouched for Byron Case's innocence" when we already know that Don Rand (the "third party" in question) testified that the car he saw was eastbound (heading toward Anastasia's home) when Case claimed that they were all heading the opposite direction. We also know that Don Rand at first testified on direct that the woman had been arguing and looked upset, but on cross-examination had to admit that he had not seen anything of the sort, that he had already told police that he could not tell whether or not the woman was upset, and that he hadn't seen her in any sort of argument. The question: Why does the FBC web site still put out this direct lie? It's almost like Sarah Palin and the Bridge to Nowhere. Why to you still continue to lie?
Byron Case lost his last appeal, and has none currently working, yet that information has never been posted on the FBC web site. Why not? Why can they not admit how poorly he's done with his appeals, and admit that all donations are currently going toward buying cigarettes?
You say I'm full of hate, but hatred has been your hallmark, hatred of Kelly Moffett and of several members of the victim's family, even hatred for the victim. You use the word "obsessed" a lot to describe everyone with whom you disagree, but what does it say about you when, SIX YEARS after your friend's conviction, you try to harass his victim's godfather? What does it say when YOU were the one thrown out of Byron Case's trial for trying to intimidate a witness on the stand?
It says that you are one sick fuck, Aaron. No one would even know your name except for the obsessive way you attack any who disagree with you. Get help. Get it now. Don't rely on your "wife" for help, because "she" is in your imagination.
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 17 2008 @ 11:48PMWow. Frank needs to get a life.
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 18 2008 @ 2:22PMI have a life, Aaron. As I mentioned before, I work for a private criminalistics lab. You're the one living with your parents at 30 and creating an imaginary wife and children.
And still, you can't offer legitimate or rational answers to the questions about Case's alleged innocence.
You know, the saddest thing about you, Aaron, is that you are and always have been Case's clueless dupe. He planned to be at your house when his friend Abraham would page him, so he could show you his best stricken, shocked look when he revealed to you that his "friend" had just been found dead. He drove over to your house that day IN THE CAR YOU KEEP CLAIMING WAS IN THE SHOP. He spent the night at his father's house, a 5-minute drive from your house, so he could get there in time for his buddy to page him.
He had Kelly tell her mother the "Anastasia got out of the car and walked home" alibi the night before, just as he fed it to his mother later the same night. He's said over and over again that "no one considered her behavior unusual", yet they both managed to make special note of it to their mothers. And he made sure someone credulous was there to witness his "shock" when he "first" heard the "news".
God, Aaron, you should have been a Bush supporter. You have such a capacity for belief that flies in the face of the facts.
BTW, there ARE now some viewers of this site. I clued some of my co-workers in on this, and they think you'd be hilarious if you weren't serious about yourself. One of them thought you'd fit the profile of a Manson Family member, with your single-minded, almost religious faith in your guy.
Again, now, WHY did you send that email with the personal contact info? Was it to plan birthday parties for its subjects? Was it to include them in your circle? Were you just doing a lot of coke that night, and forgot yourself? Or did you have criminal intent to incite harassment?
And now that the FBC Circle Jerk has expired, to any of its members still communicate with you, knowing that YOUR behavior helped shut it down?
Karma really is a bitch, and it's already taken a bite out of you, Aaron.
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 18 2008 @ 5:07PMNot a Friend: Frank has a life. It involves posting her daily about how much he hates certain people. So there, chew on that!
Posted On: Thursday, Sep. 18 2008 @ 6:06PMI'm just going to have to set the search engine to check weekly. Aaron just can't leave it alone. And he just thinks it so clever when he uses sockpuppets and denies that it's him. Aaron, don't you think you should be at least posting from a different IP address, where it's less simple to trace you? Yes, I have that capacity, and have been able to identify you for some time now.
Write all you want this weekend, Aaron. We know you won't use your real name, and that no one else is posting, and we know you can't actually write anything of substance, that all you can do is shout "Nyah nyah" and "Sez you". You will not defend Case's innocence anymore because you cannot, and bullshit is the only weapon you have left. Sling away.
Aaron, I will now assume that the fact that you made one feeble effort to answer my questions and have gone back to attacking me anonymously means that you have no answer for any of the questions and that you have conceded the points.
Byron Case made a tacit admission of murder, and you have made a tacit admission that you can't really answer the questions, and can no longer defend him.
So the facts as tacitly agreed upon so far:
1 & 2. Case knew from the start that he was a suspect. He prepared himself for his interview with police, and steadfastly refused to talk to them again face to face until they offered him limited immunity, a condition that he later misinterpreted as his "get out of jail free" card, thinking it was a blanket immunity for any statement he made. He rehearsed Kelly Moffett for each interview she did, but stayed away from them himself. The reason he avoided talking to police was that he was afraid of being tripped up if he had to answer the questions too many times.
3. Byron Case resisted arrest because he knew the jig was up when he saw the police and he panicked. He had lied for so long about his having murdered Anastasia that he had lost the ability to admit to it.
4. When directly accused of murder by someone who was with him on the night of the murder, Case clammed up and then simply tried to change the subject. He already had been talking about the fact police wanted to talk to Kelly Moffett, and after changing the subject away from his own guilt, he started advising her how to avoid telling the truth to police. There is only one conclusion to explain his behavior, the same conclusion the jury came to: he murdered Anastasia WitbolsFeugen in cold blood, after cool reflection.
5. Anastasia and Case had been friends at several points of their acquaintance, but by summer/autumn of 1997, they disliked each other strongly. Anastasia resented Case stirring up problems between her and Justin, and Case resented the demands she made on Justin's time. Case had put out an insult on his pager announcement to her, one that actually offended some mutual friends, and two nights before the murder, Anastasia had left word with Justin that "Byron can go fuck himself". A witness from the night of the murder, Dawn Wright, testified that she had seen Anastasia angrily arguing with Case ("the guy in the long black trench coat"). They were NOT friends at the time he killed her.
6 & 7. Evelyn Case testified (page 877) that her son had complained frequently how little he saw of Justin because of his relationship with Anastasia (this while testifying on his behalf), and Case could not deny that he had made such complaints. As already shown in Anastasia's letter to Justin, Case had interfered in their relationship.
8. Aaron is an asshole who has consistently hidden behind the internet to make libelous accusations, and has on a number of occasions threatened to "dig up dirt" on a variety of persons. He has stalked Kelly Moffett practically ever since Case was convicted, but has never found anything except that she has been pretty messed up ever since that day she witnessed Anastasia's murder. Aaron probably can't pronounce "Schadenfreude", much less define it, but it's one of his defining characteristics. He's a bully, and like all bullies is a base coward and only attacks when he can duck behind his sockpuppet identity. He has few if any friends, and is fiercely loyal to Byron Case because Case has made him believe that they're true friends. Case has little respect for Aaron's intellect; he was a good person to hang out and do drugs with, and has blind loyalty befitting a fanatic from any cult, and Case used Aaron as part of his manufactured alibi, and Aaron can't admit that now, not even to himself.
Aaron sent out his now-infamous email to others on the FBC site because he thought it would be "fun" if he could get anyone to make crank calls or commit vandalism or any kind of harassment. He never expected it would be passed to one of the objects of his hatred and obsession. If he thought that it might come back to bite him, he would have chickened out.
He has done everything he can to avoid talking about it, even after having promised to respond back in July. He never will respond, because he's too cowardly to admit to criminal actions, he can't rationalize it as any sort of innocent prank, and he's too cowardly to simply 'fess up and apologize. He still hides behind sockpuppets because he can't resurface as himself without explaining why he's afraid to answer for his assholiness.
9. Yes, Aaron and Byron Case used to think it fun to ingest cocaine and then play video games with each other. We have that on good authority, Aaron: we have it in your own words to a friend to whom you had no reason to exaggerate.
10. When Evelyn Case claimed her son's first felony conviction was reduced to a misdemeanor, she was apparently going on his telling. When she testified that Kelly Moffett had told Case that her father was a violent alchoholic, it was Case himself who made the story up for her consumption. Byron Case told lies to his mother to suit his needs, and she bought every single one of them. She helped enable his lifestyle, including being able to kill another human being.
11. The MySpace "community" is now defunct for at least the third time since this article was originally posted. I had nothing directly to do with that, but a communication from one of Anastasia's sisters informs me that MySpace was itself starting to crack down on such sites, and this one had been noted. I have no idea whether Aaron's earlier legally questionable actions had any influence, but it could not have helped.
12. The FBC website has a number of demonstrable lies on it, only one of which is the "third party witness" bullshit. They're even lying about what they do with the money.
Everybody knows who you are, Aaron. Everybody knows WHAT you are. If I had even the least bit of respect for you, perhaps I'd hate you, but no, you are the one filled with hate; you are the one hiding behind aliases and avoiding directly addressing the issues. How does that feel?
You'll be back, because just like any other exhibitionist, you'll want to jump out from behind the bushes and expose yourself. I just wish you were a bit more creative.
Posted On: Friday, Sep. 19 2008 @ 12:17AMFrank, can you also set your search engine to notify you every time that I scratch my balls? Seriously, you don't think that you are angry and obsessed? You should see yourself the way outsiders see you. And you have ZERO proof that I am this Aaron character outside of your own narrow-minded insistance that I am.
I am not Aaron and I do not support either side of this argument. I am just a guy who stumbled onto this page, started reading, and was amazed by how angry this Frank character is! I mean seriously, it is just simply incredible.
Niether side of this argument does anything to further their cause, I can tell you that!
And "Frank" is the worst of the lot.
Posted On: Monday, Sep. 22 2008 @ 8:19AMgot an ulcer yet?
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 23 2008 @ 8:49AMGod, sometimes I hate it when I'm right. Yep, Aaron is back, and all he could do was play with himself in front of us all. He has nothing substantive to offer.
This is the best you can do?
"A Friend" proved he was Aaron when, after claiming not to be a supporter of Byron Case, he started (badly) defending Case in one of his "replies" (9/15), and made the confimation absolute by taking a shot at Robert WitbolsFeugen, something that is 100% Aaron and nothing but Aaron. It helps the identification that "A Friend" throws exactly the same kind of temper tantrum that Aaron does in his named posts. All that plus the fact that "A Friend" has frequently posted here from the same IP address that "Aaron Vermeulen" uses. God, you're stupid, Aaron. Don't you think some of these things can be traced?
You're doing this because you can't come back as Aaron. "Aaron" dropped out rather unceremoniously back in July after having been stuck for an answer about his attempts at internet harassment. You'd think that being outed for lies about your personal life would be enough, but it took having to own up to possibly felonious acts that scared off his only true ID. But you just can't stay away, can you Aaron?
Bottom line is that Byron Case really did murder Anastasia WitbolsFeugen and is rightfully doing a life sentence in a max security prison for his crime.
Bottom line is that he will be there FOR THE REST OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE.
Bottom line is that the evidence supports his conviction.
Bottom line is that Aaron is a pathetic wanker who has no real life, and that his attempts at using sockpuppets and not get caught has degenerated into an ugly clusterfuck.
Bottom line is that Aaron CANNOT make a legitimate, rational, and believable answer ANY of the questions I've posted.
Update for ya, Aaron, since you're so obsessed with Robert WitbolsFeugen: I heard from one of his daughters this week, and learned Jackson County has decided to postpone his "trial" till after the election, and word is that they will not pick it up any time soon, having such a weak-ass case against him. Sorry to disappoint you. Wait, no, I'm actually laughing at your disappointment.
Get help soon, Aaron, before you hurt someone.
You know, I miss arguing with Jamie. His arguments were only marginally better than yours (I'd hope he's still a bit embarrassed about his "depth of character" remark), but he at least didn't start his arguments from some fantasy world. He just believed that "prosecutors are trained to be sociopaths" and that a public defender draws "his paycheck from the same source as the prosecutor does" (an attitude and belief that are drawn from his own past), but he had less of the stink of True Believer than you do.
I note that, possibly in response to my statements here, the FBC website has now announced that the MySpace circle jerk has been closed by its administrator, so as to work on "other promotional endeavors". Nice save effort, Sylvia. If you really want to get anywhere, you should remove all the taint that the association with Aaron still leaves on the site. But of course, there wouldn't be much left afterward.
Posted On: Friday, Sep. 26 2008 @ 12:43PMSomeone at my office noticed this while I was posting at lunch and mentioned this. I'd missed it:
After going to the Plog via its regular means, we were unable to pull up any posting that was originally written in May 2007, at least not without knowing what we were looking for. It just does not happen by accident.
So tell us, "A Friend", just how did you manage to stumble onto this? What were you searching for to land here?
Take your time, Aaron. I'm sure you'll come up with an excuse almost as brilliant and convincing as your explanation of the "FBC Surprise" email. Oh, wait, you never HAVE come up with an explanation there, which is probably what will happen here.
Everybody knows who you are, Aaron. We all know WHAT you are as well. You're a troll. An obsessive, pathetic troll. the truly sad thing is that it's probably all to which you can aspire.
Fuck off, troll.
Posted On: Friday, Sep. 26 2008 @ 4:11PMFor the record, I just want everyone to know that I really don't think that Byron Case is guilty and that I now believe that he should be released from prison.
Also, I would like to publically apologize to anyone who has read my words on here whom I may have offended. Thank you.

Posted On: Friday, Sep. 26 2008 @ 10:09PMFrank asked: "So tell us, "A Friend", just how did you manage to stumble onto this? What were you searching for to land here?"
I was searching for your mailing address. I wanted to send you the phone number for a good therapist who can help you deal with your hate issues.
I was also searching for a way to understand why people like you are so filled with hate. I'd ask you, but all you would do is accuse me of being some guy named Aaron, the second greatest object of your hate outside of Byron Case.
Who else is on your hate list?
Posted On: Friday, Sep. 26 2008 @ 10:16PMOh, boy, you're REALLY being a funny, creative troll, aren't you, Aaron, posting fraudulent messages under someone else's name? Well, no, you're not. You're still just dropping your pants and playing with yourself in front of anyone you can find nearby. Maybe it comes from living behind a cemetery.
Everyone knows that it is you, Aaron. As you continue to lie about it, you STILL know you're a liar. You can't come back with your own name, because you'd have to admit your cowardice of hiding behind sockpuppets all this time. God, what a wanker. I just don't know for sure whether it's because you are just a coward, or because you're a pathological liar.
And you still can't answer the questions. You left the question about Case's tacit admission of murder with the reply that it "isn't something I'm prepared to defend at this point". Well, when will you be able to respond?
The responses you DID make to other questions were pretty much non-answers that avoided the issue or attempted misdirection. Two questions: 1. Were you on Sarah Palin's debate prep team? 2. Are you ever going to attempt to make a real answer to them, or can we all assume that you've acknowledged Case's guilt by your failure to respond?
And exactly how are you "proving" Byron Case's "innocence" with trolling behavior? How does this inability to admit the truth of your own behavior give you the least credibility if you were to actually make an argument?
Now, just to state the bloody obvious here, the "Frank K. Jung" posts on 9/26 after 10 PM were made by the same worthless piece of crud who has posted here under the monikers "A Friend", "Not Your Friend", “Anonymous” (at least since June), "Frank’s Mom", "FYI,FKJ", "Uncle David", "Nicole", "John Smith", "Hehe", "Beasley", "Dear Idiot", "Mrs. Vermeulen", and of course, "Aaron Vermeulen". Most of those rants were posted from Aaron's parents' attic on Berry, where he has lived his entire adult life and has obsessively stalked people for the last six years.
I've said this before, Aaron, the first time I responded to you: Get a life. Your current one sucks.
Byron Case is guilty, and will remain in prison for the rest of his and your lives, and I wish him a long, long life. How's THAT feel, Aaron?
Posted On: Sunday, Oct. 5 2008 @ 11:26PMDude how long has it been since my last post? Seriously? Wow! You are truly a work of art. I started a post and have since put it on the back burner from months ago. I will put it all together over the next couple of weeks. Please feel free to rant daily until then! :0 By the way how is Robert WitbolsFeugen's police charges coming along? Isn't he due back at court on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2008 at Location:DIVISION 28 Jackson - Independence 9:00am. Tell him I send my blessing. Karma follows us all, no mater who we are, or how powerful and exalted we have become. :)

You should know all about Karma, Aaron. Just ask your "wife" and "A Friend" about it. Trash talking while hiding behind sockpuppets and stalking people you've never met is the way to prove your friend's "innocence", right? You've been hiding behind aliases for the last three months, and have yet to honor your promise in your last signed post to explain your reasoning for your email last year trying to incite harassment against others. We're still waiting for that, and you've had all that time as well to come up with an alibi for the tacit admission that got Case convicted.
But instead of playing games with you, I'm just going to give you something from our FAQ.
What were the details of Byron Case's alibi?
Byron Case and his supporters have long maintained that he was always consistent with his alibi of the night of the murder. This is not entirely true, as there were significant variations between what he on some important details.
The Basic Story
The basics of Case's alibi are that he, Justin Bruton, and Kelly Moffett picked up Anastasia at the Dairy Queen at Highway 24 and Brookside in Independence, Missouri, a little before 7 PM on October 22, 1997, much later than had been planned. There are differences and inconsistencies in events and intentions before that, but this discussion is about the alibi regarding what Case claimed transpired between then and her alleged exit from Justin's car.
According to Case's most basic alibi, they picked Anastasia up at the Dairy Queen, drove into Mt. Washington Cemetery, stopped briefly at the William Rockhill Nelson Mausoleum, then left the cemetery when spotted by the caretaker; they exited the cemetery, drove south along its eastern wall, and turned west on Truman Road. At the stoplight near Truman and I-435, Anastasia became angry with Justin, got out of the car, announced she was walking home, and proceeded to walk east on Truman Road. Bruton, Case, and Moffett then drove back to Justin's condo, while Anastasia's actions remain a mystery.
Inconsistencies
In Case's first statement to police on October 24, 1997, he mentioned that after picking up Anastasia, they decided to "follow through with the original plan" and return to the original meeting spot, which was the Nelson Mausoleum in Mt. Washington Cemetery; when he told Anastasia's family about the same event via email, he described it as if they had been "looking for a place to park the car". In his second police interview on July 29, 1999, he described the drive to the Nelson as if they simply drove around and decided at the spur of the moment to stop there.
In Case's first interview with police on October 24, 1997, he told police that Anastasia got out of Justin Bruton's car at the traffic light at Truman Road and I-435 after announcing she was going to do so, that she and Justin argued about her leaving, that she slammed his door closed and walked off, and that neither he nor Justin nor Kelly Moffett considered it unusual, as she had walked out of Justin's condo during arguments many times before. When he described this to Anastasia's family two months later, he changed his story to say that "none of us expected her to get out of the car". Less than a week after that, he added the detail of Justin telling Anastasia he didn't really love her being the remark that set her off. In his second interview with police, 21 months after the murder, he added details of Anastasia's and Justin's conversation that he didn't seem to remember two days after the event. In his testimony at trial, he left out the detail of Justin and Anastasia arguing briefly once she got out of the car.
Also of interest is the testimony of John Bruton, Justin Bruton's step-father. Mr. Bruton testified that Case told him that the drive had been the result of a "double date", and that Anastasia had exited the car at a stop sign. While Bruton's testimony can be regarded as second-hand, it is significant that a friend of Case's, Allie Conrad, came forward to the family in late 1998 to tell them that Case had talked to her the day after the murder and told her that Anastasia had exited Justin's car at the stop sign at Blue Ridge and Truman Road, near the entrance of Lincoln Cemetery, not a dissimilar story to the one Case had told Bruton. Allie's place in this murder investigation is told elsewhere.
Problems with Veracity
One of the key components of Case's alibi was that Anastasia's alleged behavior (angrily storming away from Justin's car and attempting to walk home along a dangerous part of town) was "not unusual behavior," trying to equate it to times Anastasia had walked out of Justin's condo in the Plaza and walked around the block a few times to cool off. Anastasia's family considered this description to have been extremely inconsistent with her normal behavior from the very start, and Case once tried to justify his claim by telling the family via email that "Justin and Stasia argued a lot, but never as fiercely as they did that night". A major part of his alibi required that Anastasia be so upset as to take actions categorically at odds with her personality and previous behavior. Case only attempted to redefine such actions as being "normal" for Anastasia.
Case's alibi also required by its nature that Anastasia was murdered at Lincoln Cemetery by a complete stranger, a scenario of which has already been disposed. Forensic evidence made it clear that Anastasia had not been abducted, that she had not struggled with an assailant, and had not even tried to shield herself from the fatal shot; along with other clues, and the extreme unlikeliness of an assailant lying in wait at that time and place, made the scenario difficult if not impossible to believe.
The jury did not find Byron Case's alibi believable.

Posted On: Tuesday, Oct. 21 2008 @ 5:39PMByron needs a new trial. Being convicted solely on the testimony of a drunken crack head is just plain wrong, and scary, too.
We should all be scared to death if that is what it takes to send someone to prison for the rest of their life.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 27 2008 @ 7:11PMAt first glance it appears that Byron was convicted largely on the testimony of a single witness. However, there is one rather glaring problem that really stands out, the so-called "tacit admission" of guilt by Byron.
When asked by Kelley Moffett during a taped telephone conversation, " Why did you have to kill her? . . . Could you explain that to me? . . . I mean if you could seriously explain to me as to why you actually felt the need to kill her, then that would really help me feel better about the whole fucking thing," Bryon didn't say, "Look, you are nuts. You know I didn't kill her. Why are you saying this? Go away and leave me alone, I'm sick" or something to that effect. Instead, he rather cryptically replied, "We shouldn't talk about this."
It really bothers me that Byron didn't say something more forceful to Kelley if he was in fact innocent, regardless if he was suffering from a high fever from strep throat. I know that even if I was on my death bed, I could muster up the strength to forcefully deny an accusation of murder from someone. That he didn't do that is very troubling.
And when Kelly asked Byron what she should tell the police, who were questioning her about the murder, Byron said to her, "I mean the only advice that I can give is start everything with 'I think,' or 'the best I can remember is' . . . there."
If the story of what happened to Anastasia occurred the way that Byron has always said it did, then why didn't Bryon simply tell Kelley to just tell the police the truth?
I'm sorry, but it really appears to even the casual observer that something is not quite right with that whole picture. "We shouldn't talk about this" sounds like a person who may have been smart enough to know that the conversation was possibly being recorded.
Posted On: Wednesday, Nov. 12 2008 @ 12:35PMSorry I've been gone for so long, as we have an election recount going on up here. I knew there were comments (search engine still works), but I've had some higher priorities.
I expected I'd find a couple more goofy comments from another Aaron sockpuppet or three. Imagine my surprise to find only one Aaron sockpuppet, and one in support.
Guys, is it one of you from work? If so, no fair, I can do this myself, though I will say your comments were on the mark.
If it's not a coworker of mine, it's definitely not family, as we almost never refer to Case as "Byron", but by his last name; he's done nothing to earn the respect of being called anything else. Perhaps I should just refer to him as "Inmate 328416". No, I won't, but I don't call him by his first name. I call my friends by their first names, and he is definitely not that.
One correction:
"regardless if he was suffering from a high fever from strep throat"
Case was suffering from a low-grade fever (101 F), not a "high fever", as he claimed. His doctor's evaluation shows that, and you can tell from the tape of his conversation with Kelly Moffett that he was not delerious and had not just woken up. He was sick, no doubt, but delerious? Just another lie/exaggeration by B.C. Case.
As for Vermeulen's (yeah, I'll stop calling HIM by his first name as well; from now on, he's the Wanker) "gothical" post, it's the same old argument, misstatement, and slander as before. Kelly Moffett was neither drunk nor a crack head on the night she witnessed Anastasia's murder; she was neither drunk nor a crack head when she testified in court about that night. And Case was not convicted "solely" on that basis. There was the matter of a bad and unbelievable alibi, and oh yeah, that tacit confession.
You always seem to forget that, don't you, Wanker? Case in effect confessed to the crime, and his alibi violated all logic. Next thing, you'll be going back to Don Rand. How'd that work out for you last time?

Posted On: Monday, Dec. 8 2008 @ 11:59AMThis reads like a tabloid.
The truth is still the truth, and nothing has changed.
Frank
Posted On: Monday, Dec. 8 2008 @ 12:11PMwhen EXACTLY did you meet this leader in person?
Yes, the truth is still the truth.
It is true that when Byron Case was directly accused by Kelly Moffett of Anastasia's murder, he went silent and changed the subject, after which he coached her on how to avoid admitting anything to police. The truth is that this is NOT the behavior of an innocent man.
It is true that Kelly Moffett was sober when she witnessed Byron Case shoot Anastasia WitbolsFeugen. It is also true that Moffett was sober when she testified to that fact in court on April 29, 2002. And the truth is still the truth.
It is true that Kelly Moffett broke up with Byron Case in December 1998 or January '99. Case did not break up with her, and the breakup was more than a year and a half before she named him as the killer. The characterization of Kelly Moffett as an "embittered ex-girlfriend" is a fable.
It is true that Byron Case knew from the start that he was a suspect in the murder of Anastasia WitbolsFeugen. He admitted this to her family, and he admitted the same under oath in court. It is true that he did everything he could to avoid talking to the police after having given them his first statement. It is true that he was rude and boorish with Anastasia's family in the months following the murder.
It is true that Don Rand, called by the defense as a witness and STILL touted by Case apologists, did not see Justin Bruton's car. It is true that he saw a car on the opposite side of the road and heading in the opposite direction that Bruton's car would have been going. It is true that he told investigators that he could not tell at all whether the woman he saw getting out of that car was upset in any way. It is true that his testimony did nothing to help Case's defense. It is true that Case and his supporters are fully aware of these facts, yet continue to perpetrate the lie.
It is true that Byron Case was convicted by a jury of his peers based upon (1) Kelly Moffett's eyewitness testimony, (2) his own tacit admission of the murder, and (3) his lack of a believable alibi. It is true that his performance on the stand, as well of those of at least three of his friends, was viewed suspiciously by jurors, and that those factors added to their certainty of his guilt.
It is true that Aaron Vermuelen liked to brag to friends about the "good old days" with Byron Case, when they would snort cocaine and play video games. It is true that Byron Case had a worse drug habit and more mental health issues BEFORE Anastasia's murder than Kelly Moffett did AFTER the murder.
It's true that Evelyn Case had no idea during the summer of '97 whether her son was living with her or staying for weeks at a time at Jutin's. It is true that she accepted as gospel everything he told her. It is true that Evelyn Case is now reduced to slandering and stalking people who lost a loved one to her son's actions. It is true that her concept of the "truth" is what her son says is the truth.
It is true that Byron Case murdered Anastasia WitbolsFeugen without conscience, and that he manipulated his girlfriend to lie on his behalf. It is true that Byron Case is in prison for life, and that his appeals with the best chance of success have already been reviewed and rejected by the courts. It is true that he will die behind bars. It is true that he deserves his fate. And that truth is still the truth.
And BTW, Evelyn (and yes, we know those last two posts were yours), I don't answer questions for someone too cowardly to identify themselves. Enough with this "Anonymous" crap. And that's more truth than you can handle, lady.
Posted On: Tuesday, Dec. 9 2008 @ 5:42PMI came upon this rather bizzare site during a web search for items pertaining to my now deceased daughter. It is, to an outsider, a rather strange and sad place to visit. Way too much arguing, accusations and, quite frankly, silliness about something that has been decided a decade ago and, if revisited, will be decided by a court of law and not arguments on a blog.
Posted On: Thursday, Jan. 15 2009 @ 4:29PMBTW, I am not really interested in the case and have no opinions as to it's eventual outcome.
