What happened to the girl who was involved?
She was cleared of suspicion.
what about Amanda Weist? Isn’t she still a suspect?
No. In an interview with the Mendocino Voice http://www.mendovoice.com/2016/11/2nd-suspect-arrested-in-laytonville-murder-gary-fitzgerald-in-custody-for-settler-homicide/ Lt. Barney said she had been cleared of suspicion.
Cricket they know!!!churp
Soooooo great, I’m looking forward to the last pos being found!!!!!!!!
100 lb × say 1200= 120000÷6=20000.
Dame got waked over 20 grand.
Over in the night…. hoppin, hoppin…. crickets in the night. Look out! Splattums
How did all of these people decide to become murdered for so little money? they must have had other motivations. Maybe the grower was not paying them.
They say over 100 lbs , meaning much more got taken.
At the time of the murder -robbery ,pounds were pretty much worthless hardly any buyers during harvest time .I expect they made almost nothing. depute over payment,Hard to pay trimmers when you cant sell your product ,most trimmers understand .Some of the new trimmers don’t understand how it works.
seems now days trimmers think its all about them .They show up no food or beer , no scissors bad work ethic wana trim all night sleep all day lazy losers.Some good ones hard to find.even the good one don’t know how to clean up after themselves think its everyone else s job to pick up after them.wana recycle and save the planet but put everything in one can for someone else to sort through their nasty recycling.
Sounds like you have a shitty eye for laborers. Being a friend of both the killers and grower here, I can say that the whole story has not been told.
