Dec 6, 2007 at 12:00 pm -All that was in the newspaper was the report that Colleen is filing for divorce. Said that she was the sole source of income for the family and that she holds him responsible for what happened to Rowan while she was in his care. Then just recapped what we already know.
On a personal side, my mom ate breakfast with Poncho this morning. That is Chris’ adopted dad. He said that Chris called him from jail and is now saying that he did not kill Rowan, and wanted to borrow the money from Poncho to hire a lawyer because he thinks that a regular lawyer will do more for him than a court appointed one. Poncho told him that he could forget it, that he had helped him all these years and now that he had done this he was on his own. Chris said it was all David that did it all. So he is trying to lie his way out of this, and thinking everyone will believe him. Also, Chris’ real dad came up from Arkansas to visit him and then asked Poncho for money to get back home. Poncho told him to forget that too. But mom said that Poncho is going out to take care of the goats. He also said that the police and FBI have finished processing the camper and said that in 30 days they will release it to Poncho to do with as he wishes, he is going to call the fire department to stand by while he burns it to the ground.

Dec 6, 2007 at 12:57 pm -Thanks for the new info Bexter - you are really physically close to this case.
I’m just curious, but does Colleen have any family left at her home?
I hope Poncho lets Janice or another sibling of Rowan’s light the fire that burns that sucker to the ground! And for Chris and David to start blaming each other is normal legal warfare. They play so many games before it actually goes to trial.
So Chris’s real Dad is a loser also! I feel bad for Chris’s adopted parents, no one should have to suffer at their children’s expense.

Dec 6, 2007 at 2:39 pm -Good for Poncho!!!!!!!!! What you told us Bexter makes me feel SO good! I cannot stand when parents sit by and defend their adult children, no matter what wicked things they do. I feel SO bad for the people out there who try to open their hearts and adopt children, only to get their heart broken because it ends up being too late to rehabilitate them. I think this makes many people afraid to adopt, but I hope it doesnt stop them, many of these children CAN be rehabilitated. Poor Poncho, god bless him. How painful it must be to have raised someone like Chris. Please tell your mom that next time she sees him to tell him that even people who dont know him admire he and his wife greatly, and that they are in our prayers.

Dec 6, 2007 at 9:04 pm -That’s a great idea Rosie! It’d be cool if Colleen and any immediate family still in the area had the opportunity to light it up and burn it down. Invite the whole town!
The murder confessions are strange. Each confesses a single handed murder. I’m not sure I buy that this was done for the purpose of ‘casting a shadow of doubt’ regarding legal defense. I assume they wouldn’t have thoght of that. But on the other hand, I don’t know what the fuck happened.
I’d really hoped that eventually a fairly consistent story would come out of these two, at least enough to suggest we’d get some idea of the essential truth. It doesn’t look good that way now, unless David tells the same story.
I assume there’s concrete evidence of the rape at Chris’s trailer, jiving with the original timeline testimonies of David, his mom, and Chris.
I wish these two would tell there lawyers to go to hell, and plead guilty, and tell what happened. Though false confessions are apparently a reality in some cases, its obvious to me these guys confessed for a reason. I’m sure when they did it they knew they would be headed into the bowels of ‘the legal system’. But I wonder if the original motivations for the confessions are forgotten or altered with the influence of the legal defense.

Dec 6, 2007 at 10:04 pm -Now perhaps Chris and David are such idiots that they each think they killed her…David thinks he killed her in the bedroom, and Chris thinks he killed her outside before putting her into David’s mom’s car..and they may both be right because they both strangled her.

Dec 6, 2007 at 11:43 pm -Rosie, I live in Wheaton, where the murder took place. Chris’ adopted mother died a few weeks before the murder. And because none of her kids were checking on her she laid in the house dead for three days before church people found her. Thats what a loving son he is. I think Chris was older when they adopted him, not sure how old tho. His dad was no good and I think his real mom died and thats how they ended up adopting him. Mom said that Chris never was any good, was always starting fires and stuff. Always in trouble. Poncho didnt want to adopt him after the trial time was over because of it but Betty insisted, and always defended him when he did wrong. I am glad for her sake that she is not alive to see what has happened. Poncho has natural kids and they have also washed their hands of Chris and told Poncho that they would not support Chris thru this and they did not want Poncho going to visit him, or giving him money or anything else but Poncho said he had already decided that. He did go to the preliminary hearing right after the arrest but said that hurt so bad he didnt figure he would go back for anything else. I dont think he has any contact with Colleen or any of the others.
As far as Colleen goes, I think she is in the house alone, as both older girls are gone and I dont think the boys live there either but not sure. I heard that she was about to lose the house and was talking about moving to Exeter to be closer for the legal stuff. But that is just a rumor, so I dont know if its valid or not.
Pablo, from what I was told they found evidence that things were burned so I dont know what all evidence might have been burned. But I am sure Chris isnt smart enough to destroy all evidence. So not sure what they have.

Dec 7, 2007 at 12:06 pm -Thanks for all the info Bexter! I can’t imagine living near all of this, I imagine there are a lot of rumors and gossip.
I imagine once they are indicted, case presented to the Grand Jury, the prosecutor/D.A. will announce if he is seeking the death penalty and if he is they will both probably choose to plead guilty in exchange for life sentences rather than take a chance on getting death. It could be within the next year or a couple of years from now. The legal system takes so long. But if it does go to trial it should be an interesting one. Have you heard when the case is going to the Grand Jury?

Dec 7, 2007 at 12:12 pm -My thanks to Bexter as well. Now the finger pointing between defendants begins. There is just no way out for these 2, if they had brains which clearly they don’t, they’d try to get the death penalty off the table. Aw well, as the song says, the world is full of stupid people. Let em fry!

Dec 8, 2007 at 3:22 pm -I have been debating this for awhile now, but until a new thread is opened regarding the trials of David and Chris, I am going to post some rumors that have been floating around in regards to this incident. I have spoken with Janice and let her know what I was going to do. Obviously, for legal reasons, she cannot confirm any of this. Also, remember, this is all RUMOR.
There are a few more that relate to Colleen, but they are more gossip orientated and just expand more on the lifestyle rumors that have already been talked about. Again, these are just rumors, but I wanted to get them out there for possible discussion or at the very least so we can see what turns out to be true or not.

Now that I see all these new facts, the rage I felt at the beginning that was starting to die down feels FRESH and NEW.
I would love nothing better than to take a knife to those fuckers myself. And I hope that if what was said about Myrna Spears is true, they put her away for good.

Dec 8, 2007 at 5:28 pm -Fuck Morbid, please let us know if any of this turns up to be factual. What Chris “might” have done to that child is despicable. I just figured he ripped her upon penile insertion. I don’t know man, folks seem to be all charged up over the Megan suicide and Lori…and I am thinking what the fuck? If anyone deserves hatred and anger shot at them it’s these two sick motherfuckers, Chris and David. Every time I come here and look at Chris’ picture, it really fucks with me. He has this look like he is proud of himself, like he thinks he’s got a great cock, and like he is badder than bad. I look at him, and think of Rowan, and then my own daughter, it is times like these that I question my own morality. I want to be non-violent, but no I can’t here. I’m fucked up, surely, because part of me is so curious as to WHY? I want to ask him so bad, “WHY, why the fuck would you do this? What was going through your mind? What fucked you up so goddamn bad? Do you even realize what a sick motherfucking thing you did?”

Dec 8, 2007 at 5:34 pm -Remember that these are just rumors. I was just put into a strange place as I didn’t want to knowingly hurt anyone directly related to the incident, but on the other hand, the entire purpose of this site is discussing crime events, even if that includes rumors surrounding events. I also didn’t want to get anyone into any trouble.
So, if anyone is reading this who may ever inquire, all of these rumors I posted were gathered from the internet or speculations by me and were not ever given to me by anyone directly. Period.

Whe was supposedly his friend, why would he destroy her child in such a horrible way? Ugh. I don’t think I actually *want* to understand, either.

What happened to this child is pure evil. I am sick at my stomach. Yes I know this is just rumors. But with the nature of this case, I don’t doubt it. Chris is a BIG dude. I hope they get ass raped by a baseball bat.
Thanks Morbid, it was driving me crazy to know what you was hiding.

What I will say is that I was not the only one who has heard that this actually did happen.

These animals whether they get death or life, will be segregated from the general population. They will have their civil rights protected. Poor Rowan did not have that luxury.

Dec 8, 2007 at 10:08 pm -well, the rumors Morbid posted are in line with what the coroner said that she would have bled to death from her injuries had she not been strangled. Not sure about the bedsheet part of it, wonder why he would have taken it unless he thought to wrap her up in it to bring her home before they ended up killing her. I dont know, that is pretty horrific but I have heard cases where they cut the girls opening bigger to rape her. Thats the bad part about computers, everyone talks about everything so that the good people are informed but the assholes get more ideas about how to do things.

Dec 9, 2007 at 12:53 am -Janice also sent me a MySpace message, asking for help finding a charity in the Missouri area for children who are victims of crime, or abuse. Does anyone know of any that I can give her? Or how she could start one? She is really such a sweet person, she has been so understanding of all of us, even after seeing the things we were posting, and to continue to talk to us and answer our questions (honestly too, I may add, I noticed that none of her answers seemed to paint her mother in a more innocent light, which makes me feel that she is not lying to protect her)
Also, guys, that whole “cutting to fit” thing strikes me as false, just a feeling I have. These guys are sick, no doubt, but that is something that I dont really think fits with this crime. I cant really put into words what I’m thinking, but I really have a feeling that it’s just a rumor. Thanks Morbid for telling us though, it was eating me up knowing that you knew something we didnt!

Dec 9, 2007 at 12:57 am -BTW, the myrna spears truck thing, BINGO! Something has bothered me all along about the fact that she drove to his house at 100am to let him borrow her car, and then just chilled there the whole night. I mean, I know some mothers can be pushovers, but to do all that jsut so her son could go out??? Strikes me as very odd. But, him calling her for help, her offering the truck to use to hide Rowan, now THAT makes sense.

Dec 9, 2007 at 1:04 am -I’m sure you guys will think its just as dumb as my other group does, but Myrna Spears has tons of garnishments listed for thousands of dollars in medical bills. Hospitals,in my experience,do not garnish you if you are making some type of payment. To me, her lifestyle that she raised him in is take what you want or need,worry about the consequences later. It TOTALLY is the same thing. Not defending anyone here, but that is total lowlife to be garnished not once,but three times for the same thing. David also has one for a hospital-I am guessing for his child.

Dec 9, 2007 at 5:05 am -good for poncho! I think that would be a good place to have candlelite virgil when he burns that camper.
I agree with Barbara Chris is a BIG dude - ball bat would be suitable !
A Blanket would of been a better choice as it was October if David planned on bringing her home with him. This may of started shortly after Colleen left for work and there was evidence on the sheet and felt he needed to dispose of it. (David may have not left her alone at home at all that part could be all untrue) I did read somewhere the item that was burned was the curtain cord. I was unware if Rowan had been found with any clothing on her. I can clearly see tho that the sheet would of flew off as she was being dropped into the cave - then authorities found her naked on the ledge.
I can’t think like these monsters - so I may never be able to understand cutting her to fit it in while she was alive. Men usually refrain from intercourse during a regular menstral cycle. No where does it say she was gagged. Could it be they strangled her at colleens. Decided Chris would take her to the camper until they came up with a plan how to cover up what they just did. plan to take second car so David could get back before Colleen got home - then realized his gas tank was low - no gas stations near by or all were closed since it was after 10 or 11 by then. thats when he called him mom to use her car desperate to catch up with Chris. Once Myrna said ok she was coming he could of calmed down enough to seem normal enough. Once he got there and seen Chris on top (Chris having cut her before David arrived) he too decided to have one less go at it hisself.
I never believed the video - news media stated they struggled her outside grabbing a cord like the one the goats were tied with out of the pick up truck. If she had been stark naked - surely not after all that she would be conscience standing or walking kinda hard to carry a child and struggle at the same time I would think.
so in my opinion colleen put her to bed, went to work the monsters went in her room and started molesting her she looks up and david strangled her.
I am wondering if this was done to rowan as a vedetta toward colleen for something she had said or done or she rejected having sex earlier before going to work.
I am curious what colleen’s opinion is. ((Morbid)) have you asked Janice my question has Colleen visited David or been speaking with him on the phone any at all?
I just can’t imagine sitting back and not storming to Myrna or the jail to get answers why why why
blame game : Chris is still responsible for dropping Rowna into the cave - David’s brother said in the video - David was too overweight unable to carry her due to shortness of breath.
As far as Myrna goes - No way could she have known it would ever be this bad. Who would. If she knew that Rowan wasn’t there she would of had him drop her back at her house then to hang out at Colleens. how far apart is Myrna and Colleens?
I wished they could give her a lie detacter test - so how is the community treating her ((bexter)) anything like Lori Drew ? I am shocked we are not seeing her on the news like drew peterson fighting them off her lawn.
(elle) how do you find out about a person garnishments ?
I thought for sure they do send hospital and doctor bills to collection agency and apply for garishments - seems like if you don’t apply for financial aid withoin the hosp or make arrangements to pay something monthly they garish wages. Not that I believe Myrna holds a job or does she too work at walmart - i kinda remember reading that too somewhere.

Dec 9, 2007 at 9:44 am -I am saying thank-you to Morbid for staying true to your site and not patronizing us by with holding what might be ugly or controversial. I am devastated for anyone who loved Rowan who may be aware of these rumors. I hope Janice does know the facts, and knowing them either gives her strength or peace when she comes across this kind of discussion.
that being said for me, clearly there are some unusual disturbing details that are not out in the mainstream just from the information I have read on here regarding how LE are reacting to this case. While I would like to agree with solange, I have a sinking feeling that something awful like what Morbid posted is possible. Chris had all the time in the world once he brought Rowan back to his trailer. Really both of them did-since we still don’t know when she was actually killed, just the period of time that Chris and David were out at the bars and when David says he arrived home or Myrna says when he did. We know for sure David was there when Colleen got home from work. Oh the poor, poor baby. I don’t know how they are going to make it to trial and why this hasn’t inspired a lynching, although I am not suggesting or recommending one.
