I was online the other day and I saw the E-mail post my wife had made and some of your chat group's responses. The last I heard Elk County was in Kansas. My father, E.C. Mullendore III was murdered in Oklahoma! Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that a long way from Elk County, Ks. Discussing the history of Elk county and remembering the pertinate facts of your county's progression through the ages should be your focus. I will be the first one to agree that my ancestors made real and important contributions to your community. They were all, to a fault, friends of mankind and did their best to help, both on a personal level as well as performing their civic responsibilities, and duties. I understand that public curiosity is tweaked every now and again. But to keep something alive with this incessant drama only hurts the innocent victims of the crime. I could not possibly expect you people to understand. What happened to my family is an ongoing, never ending litany of questions about who, what, when, where, & why! People such as yourselves perpetuate this drama with your little chat groups. I have been trying to put this behind me for decades! As long as there are people such as yourselves, the tragic drama will continue to effect my family and me. I am in the ranching industry; I am lucky enough to hear daily reminders of my family from my business associates across the United States. Those reminders are always positive, talking about honesty, fairplay, and the highest degree of integrity. Those are qualities to be remembered! However, it only takes one scatter-brained sensationalist, who is making asinine comments or asking rude questions to ruin a perfectly beautiful God given day! As far as I'm concerned people such as yourselves, who continue to sensationalize my Father's Murder, don't deserve to draw a breath of air much less continue to perpetuate a chapter of history with half truths, supposition, and innuendo! Since one of your little group brought up the question of local donations. I think raising money for Children's Cancer, and Breast Cancer, research along with a host of other worthy causes is certainly more important than another statue in your park for the pigeons to paint. So tell me, when was the last time you raised over 200K for any worthy causes? As far as I am concerned there was a reason my side of the family left that part of Kansas in the first place and then never looked back!

That's Number IV for any of you people that may have any Questions!
 

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,
