Mullendore Murder Case

[Teresa]

Is he your friend?
 
My gosh Ta Ta.. you told us "3" times that he was your friend...

jeeeseeeee~~  like ...ahhhh.... we are now convinced that he is "your friend".
*Rolling my eyes and mumbling**
Like I needed to hear that over and over in one little post....~~sighhhhhh

[Janet Harrington]

You are just toooooooo funny.  I was being so careful to not use his name.  I didn't realize that I had said "friend" so many times.  Of course, I don't have very many "friends" so that might be why I used that word so much.  I just like the sound of it.  Friend.  Friend.  Friend.  Friend.  Friend.  hahahahahahahahaha

[M-Mullendore]

I hope that at some point you ladies can move past the bliss of ignorance that seems to bestow this topic and think about how hard it is to be a Mullendore. I'm in constant turmoil with my family over this horribly tragic event that devastated us. Every where you go you are recognized for a crime scene and not the good you do... Our family raises large sums of money every year for credible foundations like Breast cancer, children’s cancer and leukemia awareness. But on your forum you fail to mention that. I hope that you enjoy your vacation by selling the Mullendore Murder book! If you look closer you would see that the book is filed in the fiction category of the library. Mr. Whitney was unable to put any credit to his story; it was all half- truths, assumptions, and hearsay. I know that I personally fear for my children’s safety every second of every hour of every day!  How would you like having threats made upon your children? Or people threaten your family by stealing or robbing you for memorabilia? I understand that it is a big mystery for Oklahoma and Kansas to be solved! Have you ever thought maybe we would like that as well? Press, trespassers, or helicopter news crews looking for something shatter every anniversary. Should we be able to celebrate number 3's life not be haunted by his Extreme untimely demise? Or have the snickers and whispered innuendo going on as you try to enjoy your family in public? Please know that we are human beings and that this hurts us to. But fueling the media frenzy does not help anybody! And most of all it will not bring #3 back.

            Thank You,

            Megan

Let me assure you, M, that I do not immediately associate the Mullendore name with sensationalism or whatever.  I associate it with a nice, quiet ranch in the northwest part of Elk County and with a person or persons by that name that lived in Howard and I believe was a lawyer.  I don't remember ever actually meeting that person, but I have heard a lot about him.

And in the case of a murder such as your family experienced, the family is not to blame and shouldn't have to be reminded of it every time they turn around.  I do not and will not read any books, fact or fiction based on such an incident.  I have not read the book based on the Clutter family, will not read anything written about BTK and have no interest in any one's version of the Mullendore mystery.  I am happy to exist in my self-imposed fantasy land where all is right with the world and wish that others would let the bad stuff die, also.

And, thank you, M, for letting us know how bad it is for the family.  We seldom get the family's side of it.

I hope that my opinion doesn't offend anyone, but that is the way I feel.  Let the past go.  Let Marilyn Monroe die.  Give us some happy things to think about.

please explain to me why only the "gorrie" side of life is all that seems to be news?  There are so many nice things happening in this world, but you don't hear about those (except in our hometown newspaper, and thank you for that)  I got to where I didn't turn the tv on during the arrest and conviction of, and I hate to use this name, BTK.  Even CNN, FOX, every channel.  How horrible for the families of the victims.  Those people are still victims, as is M.  Trouble is, every year on the "anniversary" of these tragedies, the news media with bring all this back up and keep it going.  I'm with Wilma, let Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, AND BTK die.  Move on, people.  AND movies?  to quote the Statler Bros.... Whatever happened to Randolph Scott....

[Wilma]

You can still find him on one of the channels that carries old westerns.  But we sure don't hear anything about his life after movies, when he died, what he died of or maybe he is still alive.  We don't get a recap of John Wayne on his death anniversary, either.  Nothing spectacular about his death, was there?

[Diane Amberg]

  I know nothing about any Mullendores, but I do know that Randolph Scott was once married to a Newark woman for a time, she lived not far from me. She died a number of years ago, he did too.

I GUESS  I AM THE ONE YOU SHOULD BE MAD AT.
I'M THE ONE THAT SUGGESTED IT NOT BECAUSE IT WAS A MURDER MYSTERY, BUT BECAUSE OF ITS CONNECTION TO HOWARD AND ALL THE THINGS IN IT ABOUT SOUTHEAST KANSAS.   AT THE TIME NOEL WAS MY DAD'S LAWYER.   
MY GRANDFATHER, JAMES  CRISMAS WENT DOWN TO OKLAHOMA  FOR THE RUN.
I AM SORRY IF HAS CAUSED YOU PAIN.

MAYBE WE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT YOUR CHARITY WORK IF YOU HAD GIVEN BACK TO
THE COM.THAT YOUR FAMILY CAME FROM.
