Jerry and Lisa Damron’s Extraordinary Adventure
July 12, 2009 by thinkgoat
Wythe County, VA – After a long and boring day in the town of Taylorsville, North Carolina, Jerry Wayne and his lovely wife Lisa Church Damron must have looked at each other, smiled that sheepish grin, and immediately knew what they needed to do. Things like that happen when you’ve been with someone for a while, you just know what the other is thinking by the look in their eyes. It’s like a light bulb burns out in someone’s brain and the only other one to notice is the significant other who hears the “pop” and smells the faint burning. I was touched to read this story of the closeness of Jerry and Lisa – who decided to take to the highway because their 7 children were gone and they had nothing better to do. There were only a couple of things they needed for their journey, some liquor and that gal they just shot.
Woot! On the road. It’s easy to pick up and do what you want when you don’t have your 7 children to worry about. Well, 6 at present. Last year Jerry and Lisa piled them all in the van and papa, being all drunk and shit, introduced the van to a tree resulting in the death of one child, 8 years old. Being that North Carolina authorities frowned upon that, the rest of the children were removed from the house, he was charged death by a vehicle, DWI and careless and reckless driving. I’m sure glad he was out, able to grieve the loss of his son, and up to performing more antics.
Not learning too many lessons about being drunk and taking to the highway, this grieving set of parents set their sights on West Virginia, which by my calculations (and a little help from GoogleGoogle
) was going to be about a 5.5 hour road trip. It’s merely speculation, but I imagine given the fact they were intoxicated and hopefully a little gun shy, the first leg of their journey went without a hitch. That fell apart after a couple hours on the road when they crossed into Virginia. Pulled over for speeding and erratic driving, the sheriff’s deputy smelled alcohol and guess what? Yep. No one was fit to drive that vehicle. It was upon prepping that van for towing that the deputies noticed a red and brown stain on the backseat and what is something that may be related to those stains? Yep, that body wrapped in a blanket and laying back in the cargo area. Even better, they remembered to bring along the guns. My hero of the story, Wythe County Sheriff Douglas King said, “They were in Wythe County no more than five minutes. They came to the wrong place. You’re drunk, speeding and you’ve got a dead body in the back of your van. That’s certainly not rocket science.” How true Sheriff King, how true.
The body was identified as Kelly Ross Lynette Cully and according to a statement by Lisa Damron, Ms. Cully had been dropped off at their house in Taylorsville. Lisa went outside when Kelly and Jerry started arguing and pushing each other. She heard three and four shots from a gun. Once inside, Jerry turned to her and said Kelly was dead and they needed to get rid of the body in West Virginia. (*shrugs shoulders*) They wrapped her body in a blanket, plopped her into their 2002 Ford Windstar and headed North. While authorities searched the Damron’s house, they found blood stains throughout the house and took samples from the rug, the walls, the ceiling, and the furniture. They also removed a couple safes from the house but the contents have not been released.
The Damron’s are being held in Virginia where they’re having to face the charges incurred in that state before they’re extradited back to North Carolina. As you can imagine, the list of charges probably gave the Wythe County deputies writer’s cramp. They are as follows: (for both) felony transporting a dead body with malicious intent to prevent detection of an unlawful act, (for Jerry) possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, three charges of having a concealed weapon, and a count of felony assault on a police officer that occurred while he was being jailed. Lisa Damron was also charged with DUI and reckless driving. In North Carolina, they dynamic duo is facing first-degree murder charges.

well they are they bottom of the barrel. Where they just far out there that they did not consider a long drive drunk and with a body was a less than smart move?

Hilarious write up, TG! This story is a present that keeps on giving.
Lisa Damon just keeps standin’ by her man, even after he killed her child and lost her access to the rest of her children she’s gonna just stick by his side as he continues to drink and drive.
Hell, what’s the occasional murder when you’ve got true love like these kids? They’re like Sunny and Cher before the divorce. If these two crazy kids can’t make it, can any love survive?

Don’t speed through VA people, they seriously have cops sitting five miles apart throughout the whole state and they don’t allow radar detectors! It’s really annoying and yes this story is bizarre!

Great write up Thinkgoat. You certainly have a great way with words and always keep me amused (if not horrifed) at the same time!
What a bizarre story too. RIP Kelly. Sorry you got mixed up with these crazies…
