I am very sorry for the loss of your good friend. I have lost several friends and a couple more are now critical. I never had to suffer with them though. That compounds the pain way more than simply hearing about it. It is heartbreaking just to read your comments. God Bless you both and may you cherish her friendship until you see her again.

I forgot to post the YouTube video…

This YouTube channel from Nate the Lawyer says almost exactly what I said. They were engaged. To have enough to prove he didn’t have consent by her death, you would have to prove that he knew she was dead. He goes a little farther and findssome stupid clerical errors by the FBI. Basically they indicted him on one charge but put different charge on the warrant. It would be like me doing a probable cause affidavit that you shoplifted something at Walmart (Theft) but then wrote assault on the warrant. There are two crimes listed in the section on credit cards under federal law. One is to use the card or the number without consent. The other is that you use fraud or forgery to fake the card like maybe he tried to transfer it in his name. They indicted him on the one but wrote the warrant on the other. Will that clerical error invalidate the warrant? If they arrest him on a warrant that is later found to be insufficient or wrong, that would throw out any confession or any evidence they gathered after making the arrest. That seems pretty sloppy by the FBI. I think they need to get the judge to remove the warrant and simply re-issue it under the correct charge for the indictment but who knows, maybe they will uphold it like it is. But Nate did this video two hours ago. Maybe he was reading my comments from yesterday… 😂😂😂

I know you’re a member of the other sports website that I belong to and they have a memorial page.

It is called a pretext stop or fishing expedition. The police can make a lawful detention or arrest but are not really looking for the reason of the detention or arrest. A police officer stops you at 2 AM with your license plate light out. Are you intoxicated? Do you have warrants? Does something in your car make it appear that you were committing a crime? Or perhaps the officer is really concerned about your license plate light out and the safety hazard you are creating….. Of course we will never know but there might be enough information for an arrest warrant for murder right now. Remember a warrant just needs probable cause (which is defined as, would a reasonable person believe, knowing what the officer knows) and nowhere near proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Even if they have enough information to technically get a valid warrant for murder, do you want to tip your hand or rush to do something that may be called into question later (was the probable cause for murder valid?) when you now have a legal felony on him? I would not read too much into a credit card warrant instead of a murder warrant at this point. It may be absolutely true that they don’t have enough for murder… but maybe…..

A means to legally get him in handcuffs? Even the article says, “while this warrant allows law enforcement to arrest….”. I think this is to change him from a missing person to a wanted felon. Remember that Timothy McVeigh who blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City was arrested for a license plate violation. Like always, every state and federal laws are different. It does not say who’s credit card he used so it could be a legitimate theft. It can also belong to Gabby and in Texas it would be almost a meaningless charge. It is not against the law to use someone else’s debit or credit card. It is against the law to use it without consent. This guy was engaged to Gabby. They probably swapped credit cards several times. There is almost no way they could prove without her statement that he did not have consent to use it. They would have to almost prove murder first and if they prove that, why worry about a credit card charge? Again, it is probably a felony charge meaning that if he is arrested anywhere, he can be extradited across state lines. It is a police tactic and a means to an end, in my opinion.

And you can thank the Democrats for that. When Bush first entered office one of his first big goals was to make a percentage of Social Security an actual 401(k) type savings account. The plan was to continue normal Social Security for those already on it but the new people coming in would have a percentage set aside into a traditional account that belonged to the pression. After all it was your money being put into it with matching funds from your employer. The Democrats convinced everyone that Bush was trying to take money from them. He is going to starve old people. In fact he would have been giving money because everybody knows that a private type investment account is worth way more than a pennies if you get back on Social Security. If I had a true 401(k) type account of everything I and my employers put into Social Security in my name since I was 17 years old, almost 50 years ago, how much would I have in my account? I can guarantee it would be several times $2300 a month I draw now.

The problem with this story as with almost all of them, it came from the news media. It more than likely came from a press release by the police who released practically nothing any more. Why was the father not armed? The truth is, he might have been. Maybe the father showed up with a handgun but the guy turned and charged the juvenile and the father couldn’t shoot the suspect in the back, fearing hitting his son. That is one of just many “what ifs” but we have no clue what happened. When we say something like, well if I had been there….. In fact what you thought you would do may have been exactly what the father did. The media does not investigate anything, they don’t ask pertinent questions and even though a story might be several paragraphs long, it’s basically just a synopsis. When I was on patrol 25 years ago, if I showed up at a major crime scene there might be literally five reporters in my face asking me detailed questions about what happened. Sometimes I would release information and sometimes not but they were there digging. Now a patrol officer can be on the job for five years and show up at a major crime scene and never see a reporter. In fact most have never even spoken with one or had a question asked, even if the officer was not going to answer. The truth is there is almost no more news reporting. Most new stories are done strictly from police news releases, of which I have written many. I have seen several news stories in print and television media where the report was just copied and pasted from my news release. This is kind of an odd story and it would really be interesting to know what really happened, but we will probably never find out.

I don’t remember about Central‘s first year but they certainly could have been. I think Westbrook won the state championship in their first year of existence after starting their history by losing the first two or three ball games. The a couple of years later I think French won the state championship in their last year of existence. Maybe in the 84 or 85 school year. I think it was a 21 to 21 tie but back then they just called you co-champions. So if my fading memory is correct, Westbrook won the state championship in their first year and French won the state championship in the last year. The mergers did not happen all in the same year. I think first Beaumont high and Charlton Pollard high combined into both names, Beaumont Charlton Pollard or BCP. Then they took in French (86 maybe?) and became Central? Anyway, Beaumont had a pretty good run of teams in the mid 80s with two state championships and interestingly between the first and last years of two schools. If my memory….

I graduated in 1974. Those district where static for a few realignments. It sure made it easy. I “think” back then they had 8 man, B and then 1A-4A as six classifications. The 4A was the largest. At some point they move the B to 1A so that all 11 man football was at least an A. Then again they bumped everybody one and it became 1A-6A. I kind of want to think there was an eight man and a six man football back then. It is since been dropped to just six man. But that was almost 50 years ago and it’s stretching my memory.

4A was (equivalent to 6A now) biggest schools, no matter how big they got. Yes all classes have a cut off and it usually grows. At that time all six schools in Beaumont were in the highest classification available in Texas. Again going by memory when I graduated… 21-4A Beaumont Royal Purples South Park Greenies Hebert Panthers Forest Park Trojans Charlton Pollard Bulldogs French Buffaloes 22-4A Port Arthur Thomas Jefferson Yellow Jackets Port Arthur Abraham Lincoln Bumblebees Vidor Pirates Orange Lutcher Stark Tigers Nederland Bulldogs Port Neches-Groves Indians Which was always the end bi-district match.

I think Beaumont had six 4A (now 6A) high schools. Their entire six team district was within the city limits. If I remember correctly: Beaumont French Charlton Pollard South Park Hebert Forest Park
