Maybe a rolling road block????
They got her, supposedly a tweaker who shot her own dad while trying to steal his guns…
Brutal. Meth is death!
Marshall Lane. not Marshal Lane..
Thank you. I checked and you were right. I corrected it.
Kim- you dome great job- thanks.
Wow! That’s a lot of action for ol’ Burnt Ranch. Car accidents were the most exciting happenings there while I was growing up. I hope the victim survives this ordeal.
Not another Jeep Cherokee
They will sell a jeep to anyone these days sheesh!
If any of you knew about all the abuse Kristi suffered at the hands of her father you may think a lil differently. A black cloud follows her and more so if she is using. She has a big heart and always willing to help anyone at anytime. I love Kristi and will be praying for her and her babies.
Bull crap, she didn’t suffer anything from him. She’s just a tweaked out piece of crap [edit]
she was abused by her father her entire life. you might have a new opinion after the facts come out.
This is absolutely sick. Kristi was NOT abused by her father her whole life. The David McCoy I know is not capable of being the kind of monster you two people are describing. Maybe if you knew the David I’ve known for over 50 years, you’d realize that the girl has issues. David tried to help her but meth and whatever other drugs she has used throughout her life has destroyed the person she was. David and Missy (and Danielle) were our closest neighbors up South Fork in Salyer, but Kristi and her brother were raised by David’s mother, who tried her hardest to help her grandchildren but when you’re a drug addict, it’s hard to break away from it. Addicts will say anything to get sympathy, manipulate the system, and I am speaking from experience. I have a 43 year old daughter who used the same story, but said her adoptive brother molested her for 4 years, and that’s why the court should be lenient with her. Her own attorney told me that frankly, the judge was not going to fall for her sob story again, after she shot a man over drugs in Stockton. She has spent most of her adult life in and out of prison, and she always plays the “I was sexually abused” card whenever she gets caught. My daughter is quite a manipulator with men, especially correctional officers and police officers. Drug addiction is a sickness, and Kristi is sick, period. If she is so far gone that she shot her father, she needs to be locked up for good. Anyone who knows David well, also knows Kristi, and knows the hell she’s put her entire family through, including her grandmother, Mary, who was a great friend of mine. Once it was said, Kristi has had to maintain the lie, and embellish it, to gain sympathy. She needs help, and David, being a Christian, will again forgive her, if he survives this, but she needs to be in a locked facility, where she can be drug-free for the rest of her life. She was a sweet girl, but drugs have ruined her, and it is not her father’s fault. My heart goes out to David’s wonderful daughter, Danielle, who he raised himself, and his son, Stoney, who was also raised by their grandmother, Mary. It’s too bad that her father is being judged here by what Kristi maintains happened to her, without any proof, and without taking into consideration what kind of person she has shown herself to be. Any daughter mad at her father could make the same accusation, and there is no way a man/father/brother/ cousin can defend himself against something like that. David is such a great dad, as his other daughter, Danielle can testify to. She is a pleasure to know, and anyone that knows them can see that the father-daughter bond is very strong. Of course, Danielle doesn’t use drugs and has no need to be manipulative. She is her father’s daughter, through and through. It is sad that Kristi has ruined her life, and put her grandmother through hell when she started her acting up. I’m glad Mary and Syl aren’t alive to see what has become of her. There is a bible quote “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” Something along those lines, and it is so appropriate here.
You are 100% correct on David McCoy, There is not a mean bone in him!
Closest Neighbor, thank you for that. I too have known Dave for many years. He worked with my husband in Korbel way back when. He is a sweet and wonderful man. It’s sad that things like this happen. I hope and pray that he’ll be ok thru this. I also hope that Kristi can finally get the help she needs. It’s an awful road to continue down.
