Saber Tooth Road is below Titlow, not Hoopa.

When I saw he was picked up in Blue Lake, I knew it was at the casino, what a great big dump that place has taken on Blue Lake.
I see chp in the pic oh and he is a sarge he should be looking for marci kitchen. Funny how Hansen do sent say who the suspect or suspects are.
If you feel they’re not doing their job, you are free to try yourself, seeing you have nothing better to do.
You’re damn right they’re not doing their job! What’s it been, a month and a half?
You know I was reading an update about person responsible for catastrophic Valley fire and I was thinking how this guy was more likely go to jail for faulty wiring than Marci Kitchen.
Amen
