I have been totally a bystander and have been reading the posts on the trial etc. I live very close to the home of the straubs. I forgot who the mocker was that mentioned to be careful at gas pumps. My niece was robbed at gun point last year when she was pumping gas on Lewis Avenue. I grew up in a rough area when I was young, so street smarts are there and I am always aware of my surroundings. My father was involved with organized crime way back when, he is no longer living. Choose a different path for myself than my surroundings. This case has been all consuming and I appreciate all the great work everyone has put in on the other posts. Like the old godfather movie saying. . "it's the price you pay for the life you choose". Sad, but very true. I hope and pray that the other's that are out there that were involved are found out. Such a disturbing case and I cannot fathom being a parent to find my child and his girlfriend in that manner. Well just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and hard work. I will continue to read where I left off in the other forum. XO and cheers! Time to get back to work.
Fascinating post and welcome to Mock! What kind of organized crime did they have way back when? was it whiskey running? drugs? did they murder people? what a story! I admire you for choosing a different path.
