[UPDATE Wednesday] Missing Woman Located in Salmon Creek; Believed to Be Associated With Sunday Burglary, Says Sheriff’s Office
Crop of one photo of Heather Taylor shared widely on Facebook as family and friends worried about her safety.
This afternoon, Lt Sam Williams of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Heather Taylor who was reported missing was located in the Salmon Creek area. Taylor’s photo was widely shared yesterday and today as family and friends were concerned that she was outside in the rain and cold for an extended period of time without contacting them.
Another photo cropped from social media that was widely circulated as family and friends sought the missing woman.
Williams said Taylor is believed to have been involved in a burglary that occurred in watershed early Sunday.
Taylor was located in an empty yurt not far from where another suspect was taken into custody on Sunday.

“[Heather Taylor] is thought to be the female who was involved in the incident…though the other involved parties deny that,” Williams said in an email earlier today.
UPDATE Wednesday: Williams told us that Heather Taylor “was cited and released.”

Okay she was located. A little info on if she was arrested would be helpful!
Law enforcement can’t say if she is arrested or not until she has been booked in jail. I have to wait for that.

/Snark/ I think what Guest meant was “thanks Kym for providing this service to the community, I know you always get us all the info you have, as soon as possible”
✔️
Right on Kym.
Wed. update says “cited and released”
She has a lifelong association with some VERY shady people. To my personal knowledge.
It seems as if a lot of people up in that part of the world have lifelong associations with some VERY shady people.
So what does that have to do with anything?
regardless of the lack of DNA testing abilities, thanks for the huge response as these tweaks are currently and will continue to be the biggest problem in this and neighboring counties.
I’d rather have a TV stolen then be hit by a drunk driver. I’d rather have my truck stolen than be rapped or work a whole summer and get ripped off by my boss. That may be the biggest issue to you but not everyone. Until there is Free rehab and great mental health care for all then I can’t really judge an addict and petty thief.
Yeah, or people could respect themselves and others more. Society is raising entitled monsters. Even the junkies think they are entitled to everything! Try working for yours!
Amen!! Everyone wants something for free. They all wanna cry victim. So sad.
So I bet you’re okay with wasting billions dollars a year on war and bailing out Wall Street with our taxes. But we can’t use those taxes back on ourselves, our society, and our infrastructure. Cause that would be socialism which would be bad. Socialism is only for the rich while the rest of the people can pull themselves up by the bootstraps. /s
It’s nonsensical to equate objecting to thieves who blame everyone else for what evil they do to bailing out Wall Street or wasting money on war. In fact it is the knee jerk reaction of all socialists- they announce that anyone who objects to their harebrained schemes must be evil because they object to helping poor people when what the real objections are about is the socialist’s schemes create more problems than they solve. In fact, although they keep renaming their theories each time they fail as if that will finally get the same ideas to work, these schemes always involve taking from those who produce and giving it to those who don’t produce yet fully expecting that those who produce will keep working away, producing ever more while gaining nothing. Silly ideas that no amount of good intentions validate.
Let’s hear a novella explanation on the merits of giving the rich the biggest tax break in history, exploding the deficit.
I know I’m really really happy that the rich are getting a tax break on their private aircraft repairs.
The Conservative talking points that you regurgitate all the time are hollow. Empty.
Tax laws are written to be followed by everyone. Anyone can write off expenses if the criteria is met. Every one has the opportunity to be/get rich, whether from hard work, investment, invention or winning the lottery. People that are already rich do a lot of investing and many have a business (or many businesses) that employ people. Many rich people support their community and fund research and hospitals etc etc etc. Many middle class people have hobby business and wrote off tons of “Marginal” things…so if a rich person has a private jet and uses it for business…then why should they not write that off? I guess I just don’t see your logic. He also gave everyone else a tax break.
Dean Baker and Evan Butcher did a rough calculation showing that if Amazon had always been required to collect sales taxes, it would have collected a total of $20.4 billion in sales taxes from its founding in 1994 through 2015, which is more than twice its lifetime profits of around $9.1 billion.
But wait — there’s more tax avoidance!
Amazon barely pays any federal income tax at all. Part of that is its strategy to avoid booking any profits for years, preferring to invest everything back into the business. But part of Amazon’s low tax rate is the result of aggressive tax planning.

Actually, there are more ways to make money.
Amazons Alexa uses Wikipedia, which is a free service, for the answers to a majority of users questions.
How much does Jeff Bezos or Amazon pay Wiki for this? $0.00
Wiki is in need of donations, fyi.
https://slate.com/technology/2018/10/amazon-echo-wikipedia-wikimedia-donation.html
By 2021 Alexa will be a $18-$19 billion-dollar industry for Amazon.
https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/amazon-stock-price-alexa-19-billion-business-rbc-says-2018-12-1027829391
There are a lot of ways to take or “make” money.
And the tax code and system are flawed.
That’s $20 billion not taken from the People and wasted by the bureacracies. It sounds like a win. More government does not default to good government. .. quite to the contrary.
Sigh.
Meanwhile you collectively want Hunter Biden investigated for making .01% of what Bezos has kept from being properly taxed.
I love the consistency.
Is your goal to have no roads, schools, police or fire services?
That’s 20 billion that will wind up sitting in an off-shore tax haven, having been extracted from the American people.
Sigh.
I’ve never said anything about Hunter Biden.
We have roads, schools, police and some of us have fire “services”. Funding even. The ever growing bureacracies just want more and more for less and less ‘”services”.
Amazon and Bezo’s didn’t take $20 billion they just didn’t transfer other people’s money to the government. I know they collect sales tax from me.
I know you didn’t say anything right now about Hunter.
But I highly doubt you would clarify and state that you “don’t want the Biden/Barisma investigated”.
Nonetheless, I figure we (Americans) have tens of billions of tax revenue not being distributed.
The red states need that tax-revenue-money, man!

Ullr,
Looking into Amazon as the example, which it has been for a couple years.
Amazon disclosed new details about its U.S. taxes for 2019 in public financial documentsand a blog post Friday morning, saying its federal income tax expense for the year was more than $1 billion, in addition to more than $2 billion in other types of federal taxes.
The disclosures appear designed to push back against assertions from politicians and researchers that Amazon does not pay any federal income tax. However, the federal income tax is still a small fraction of the company’s profits, representing about 6 percent of the $14.5 billion in operating income that Amazon reported Thursday in its year-end financial report.
https://www.geekwire.com/2020/amazon-reveals-new-details-federal-tax-bill-shot-across-bow-critics/
If Amazon pays about 6%, that seems a bit short of common rates, as mentioned in an article that I do think you would enjoy.
Now, it could be the opinion of some politicians that, even at 67.9% and 28.3%, the top quintile and top 1% aren’t paying enough. That’s fine—they can think that if they like and feel free to campaign as such. But to call that “unfair” you’d have to have a pretty odd definition of “fair.” Or be a politician. Either/or. Or both.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/larahoffmans/2012/07/31/tax-rates-and-the-great-fairness-debate/#2ec2b506bfd1
That article has some very interesting points, such as:
In 1946, the highest-bracket rate was cut to 86.45% from 94%—and tax receipts were 17.7% of GDP. In 1952, the highest rate was back at 92%, and tax receipts were 19% of GDP. In 1962, the top rate was 91% and receipts were 17.6% of GDP. Two years later, the rate was cut again to 77%—and receipts were 17.6% of GDP. Identical.
In 1982, the top rate was slashed—slashed I tell you—to 50%. And tax receipts were 19.2% of GDP. (Tax receipts were higher at a 50% top rate than any time during the post-WWII era of 80% and 90% tax rates.) The top rate was cut to 38.5% in 1987 then 28% in 1988, and tax receipts were 18.4% and 18.2% of GDP.
Hands down, the highest tax receipts in the post-WWII era were in 1998, 1999 and 2000—at 19.9%, 19.8% and 20.6%—when the top rate was 39.6%
Sounds like you are just pissed you don’t have a airplane.
Now as for bailing out Wall Street I can’t agree with that . Wall Street should be torn down and buried used as a nuclear waste storage site. Wall Street is exactly what is wrong with not just America but the world.
Spending money on the military is a must. Just look at it like buying a fire truck before there is a fire, there will be wars just as there will be fires and if we have any chance of keeping what few freedoms we have left we must spend money on military and ensure our service men and women have the best we can give them both in training and equipment period.
Nope! Just tired of entitled individuals who think it’s okay to take whatever they want whenever they want it!!!!! Lock them up! They will detox over time whether they want to or not!!! So sick of wasting resources on people who in my opinion don’t deserve them!!!! ?
The world is what it is, not what you think it should or could be. The fact is there are a lot of drug addicts in this country. Drug addicts are sick, and the are often petty criminals. Throwing them in prison has been about as successful as trickle down economics and Great Society programs. We need a new approach. Based on the sad reality and the current knowledge of experts in the field of substance abuse. Some combination of detention, treatment, and supervised probation. Along with follow up to help them stay clean. If they revert, it’s back to detention. And enough funding to make the program successful. Every addict who gets off drugs is a life saved.
Incarceration doesn’t work. We can’t spend money on ourselves to help the least among us with our taxes but we sure can bail out the rich and continue on wars for decades which would pay for everybody’s health care including mental health. But no we have a system that is ran by for-profit insurance and an oligarchy that continues to put the rest of the people in debt. On top of that if you do your research you would understand that the war on drugs has been undertaken by covert three-letter agencies to pay for shadow wars. Further, evidence from Portugal shows that if drugs are decriminalized and society provides mental health services along with withdrawal services then crime as well as drug use goes down. But as long as we continue to allow an oligarchy of rich people to rule us and decide that we’re going to bail them out as well as bomb a bunch of poor people so they can gain resource control then we the little people will have to put up with crime, being put into debt for medical care, and not really being represented.
Medicinal that includes personal choices right ?
You want free medical care but don’t want to be told what to do. If we have to pay to birth your children pay to feed them pay to house them pay to teach them, well than I say we should get to decide who gets to breed and who doesn’t . I mean if we are all stuck paying for your night of drunk fun we should at least get something.
What it does do is give society a brief break on being ripped off by these addicts and thieves. Lock them up!!! Honest lives matter
Hmm… Isn’t detention very similar to “throwing them in prison?” The level of bureaucracy needed to keep check on the infinite variety of ways that humans can screw up would be huge. Not to mention that drug counselors and medical providers, while noble in their intentions, demand to get paid like everyone else. In fact the American court system would guarantee that the few drones who don’t screw up yet have to hear how evil they are for expecting to use their own earning for their own wants would have no defense.
We have people suing in court for everything. In fact the earliest formal experience I ever had to save a person from themselves involved trying to get a town drunk into treatment before he died. I was pulling into a slot in a crowded parking lot and hit the brakes just before I ran over him passed out between two parked cars. I had had contact with him on the streets previously. He was a cheerful drunk but he was going to die. I contacted social services and they started proceeding to get him under county conservatorship. I provided a statement to the court about what I had seen over the years. The court ordered a conservatorship to manage his funds ( he has some monthly income) in order to get him a place to live. He filed an appeal, got a court appointed lawyer, who obtained a new court paid for psychological evaluation that found him not incompetent. He won his appeal, regained access to his money, became constantly drunk again (he had only been sober for the evaluation because the conservator was using his money for housing and food,) and was dead from exposure the next month.
Also illuminating was that, while he was a very cheerful drunk, he was the nastiest aggressive bastard when forced to be sober. It was the first experience in reality but there were a number more in the following years. Nothing is as simple as it seems to those who believe in the simple fix.
So you are right that the world is what it is but not about what it is.
What makes you think they want to change J? Are you going to make them sober? Are you going to give them money so they stop stealing for a living? Having mercy on career criminals is the problem in this state. Leave your door unlocked and TV unplugged j, a tweeker scumbag is in need of another dope sack. I know plenty of people who are addicts and do t want to change. The world is only making it easier for them, why change? Work is tough. Got to get up on time, pay taxes, be responsible and a good parent. Living off of others hard work is easy! If it’s straight up stealing or government subsidies, it’s easy! Fuk work and fuk whatever you have. It’s mine, and there ain’t a dam thing you can do about it!
>Banjo Music Intensifies!<….
Young & beautiful and this is the best she can do?? Damn the older dudes who ensnare young women with heavy drugs.
It’s heartbreaking!
What about the women that ensnare men into doing their bidding…
Women run the men like a puppet show.
Little boy sitting in the corner and cry, big man come and ask him why,
He said “I can’t do what the big boys do”, the man sat down and he cried too.
Ever since the world began women been imitating the ways of men
I blame the Apple (which probably was a fig and not and apple). Woman have always been irresistible but an apple. Plus the saying “if it’s to good to be true it probably isn’t” wasn’t developed yet. I blame God for not properly training Adam but I probably wouldn’t be here if the bastard didn’t take a bite, so, there’s that.
‘You are here my son because I ate the legallettuce, we were all out of figs and apples that fateful day!’
There’s more to beauty than physical appearance. This woman is almost certainly not a beautiful person. The evidence suggests she is actually a really ugly human being.
Sometimes bad things happen to shitty people and they deserve even worse than they get.
Can’t find any fuc*s to give if she was out in the weather overnight…
Were they trying to rip off Joy Call’s home?
From what I understand, the ‘accused thieves’ were discovered, chased and caught in another region of Salmon Creek. Maybe others know if they were near Joy’s before or if they had designs on doing something that low down. (Seems nothing is low enough for these dudes).
Yes. It would be a good thing if she was cold and miserable for a while. Since that’s the only punishment she will probably get for stealing another’s belongings and trying to burn their home down. Burn the home to destroy fingerprints I suppose?
Or that there was a robbery.
They were fairly far from Joy’s home.
I find it interesting that this incident is being referred to as a “Rip Off” instead of A” Burglary”. Didn’t see where
cannabis was even mentioned. This fact seems to speak to a interesting issue regarding peoples assumtions of
So Hummers.
Cannabis is Legal.
Right
I thought I might have heard one of the places was an indoor grow. Apparently it was permitted. To what extent I don’t know. I doubt the place had a state permit, which means they are operating illegally and the cops just let them go. Gotta love Humboldt!
They are talking about removing “pay for bail”, and instead, letting people out on there own recognizance. I can’t wait! People like Wade shouldn’t be running around free. That boy is lucky to be alive with as many people as he has fucked over in this county. And as for this female. How can she not be arrested already? She evaded police and trespassed, possibly broke into the home she was in when they found her. They say crime doesn’t pay, but it sure looks like they get away with so much shit!
That’s not what the removal of pay bail means at all. Quite the opposite actually. Not sure about this woman but it would likely mean that someone like Wade Harris would have no bail option due to his obvious threat to the community, no more heroin dealers getting bailed out and disappearing, no more broke folks losing their job and housing because they got caught with pills and couldn’t bail out
Thats the intention, but how’s it going to work. Theres not enough space to hold everyone, so People will be or’d by their “threat to the community” level. But given the charges given to the two men when they have the track record they do, we winder how the assessment will be made.
On a side note, itneresting to see affluent salmon creek get treated much like rancho rednecks by honsals team…. those charges say to me, ‘you people live outside the law, so we dont care. You figure this out.’
Actually the presumption would be that a person should be released unless clear evidence of a public danger exists. A judge determines that. Given the history of brain dead judges in Humboldt I’d speculate that most defendants would be released almost immediately on a promise to appear… people you or I know to be risks to the public don’t often present that way in a court hearing.
Not exactly the hole she deserved to stay in!
I think as a community it would be good to be informed as to when these people like Wade Harris or other thieves, are having their trials or bail hearings so the community can engage. We are having an epidemic of these low lives and we should see to it that the justice system works to protect people in the hills who are less protected by law enforcement. These people need to go away and leave our communities in peace.
It’s called progressiveness.
This kind of “judicial reform” (sic) is in the agenda country wide if democrats take over. We are experiencing it first hand with folks like wade and his crew, and there ain’t a dam thing you can do about but lock your sh!t up and live in fear of it being stolen by force from lowlife drug addicts. Isn’t the poster child of progression in this country great! Me personally, I’m fed up with it. Young drug addicts living off of government subsidies wander my neighborhood flipping door handles, stealing mail, burglarizing homes when people are off to work and stealing whatever is not tied down day n night. Every week . If you do something about , you go to jail because of violence. When has thievery been accepted into any society? Well it has here in California.This is only the beginning of what liberals will be bringing to the table. Accept it, because it’s only going to get worse.
“laws and rules without punishment are only guidelines for manipulation.” We are being manipulated.
Yawn…
Conservatives are much too busy trying to cut Social Security, any social service, control women’s bodies, protect the most corrupt *President in history, gerrymander and cheat, lie and balloon our deficit to unbelievable proportions. Let’s not ever forget that obscene TAX break for the rich,. They’ve got no time for dealing with criminality in America while they are working double overtime shielding the biggest criminal of all. Get real.
Blaming Democrats for everything wrong makes you look dumb. Like Trump.
Hmmmm who wrote and passed the laws that enable and allow this? .But than you go and blame Republicans and conservatives! Nice come back! I think I need a vacation, my days are spent thinking of ways to dispose of body’s….. not healthy for the mind. Oh well, have a nice day yeah sure.
Government, you know, reaganism has had 4 decades of testing. In case you didn’t notice it has failed.
Time for a new plan stan. Lets go back to taxing the rich, shall we?
Meanwhile reaganism made mud holes out of millions of lives and thousands of communities. You should be holding someone accountable besides only the victims.
the victims are the taxpayers and working class, not thieving junkies.
A democrat run state for more than a decade and there defense on its inability to improve is blaming Reagan in the 1980s. Wow. Goes to show that no matter how bad the liberal/democrats run a state/country into the ground they will always have someone to blame. Watch when they win the 2020 election and nothing improves for the better…..blame trump. Always a scapegoat. Children’s games. Point the finger at some else for your own ineptness. Lmao
Exactly so!!!!
SO what problems does helping people create? Lower healthcare costs? Higher standards of living? Longer lifespans? How is war profiteering not evil? Who produces value in our economy? Workers and consumers do., CEOs and shareholders suck the value out of the economy. It is very typical of capitalists to demonize helping people which hurts their opportunities to exploit the less fortunate. But Venezuela, blah, blah, blah! But Norway, Sweden, and Finland!
But look a little more closely-
“Take the Danes, for instance. True, they claim to be the happiest people in the world, but why no mention of the fact they are second only to Iceland when it comes to consuming anti- depressants? And Sweden? If, as a headline in this paper once claimed, it is “the most successful society the world has ever seen”, why aren’t more of you dreaming of “a little place” in Umeå?”
“Finland ranks third in global gun ownership behind only America and Yemen; has the highest murder rate in western Europe, double that of the UK; and by far the highest suicide rate in the Nordic countries.”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/27/scandinavian-miracle-brutal-truth-denmark-norway-sweden
The delusion that the Nordic countries are ecologically sound little pieces of paradise only comes from reading American socialists groups who are in love with their own ignorance. Talk about cherry picking nonsense. Like everywhere else they made choices based on the rush of wealth created by Baltic oil that are not so self sustaining as the American press would have it.
Please Guest, you are the master of cherry picking links that bolster your “views”. Accusing others of the same gave me the biggest laugh.
Denmark has the lowest crime rate in the world.
Murders in 2018;
Finland- 85
Norway- 25
United States- 16,214
Refuting YOUR cherry picking long-winded comments with multiple cherry picked articles are just a google search away.
Seriously, no one wants to read a novella every time you comment. Condense it a little, your comments are more like lectures.
There are many reasons for antidepressant consumption. It is not always because antidepressant users are sad about their countries politics.
Citing antidepressant use doesn’t prove anything
Wrong.
Anti-depressants are mind altering substances, especially when ingested in association with a “legal” amount of alcohol. That’s one of the largest gripes about our elected leaders over 45 years old.
Which way do you want to go? up or down?
There’s no good reason for anti-depressants. It has become a drug dependency of millions of Americans.
Oh no shit. You really didn’t address what I said, you’re arguing a point I didn’t make, but do dribble on…
I read your posts Guest. It’s not your fault people don’t have comprehension skills past a couple sentences..
This is a “comment” thread. No one else writes over 300 words here PLUS multiple cherry picked links to push an opinion except Guest. Guest feels obligated to beat us over the head and lecture.
There’s comments and there’s novellas. I’m not here to read novellas, especially when it can be condensed.
Longer life spans ……. just what the planet needs more people living on it consuming resources ……..
Crime has decreased…
Well what we call a crime certainly has. But do people here feel more secure with the reality?
…… yes dan, when you decriminalize crime it decreases. I know what else is decreasing, working class citizens of California.
For sure. When the numbers don’t get counted the way that serves your agenda … change the rules do a recount.
I’m very liberal on most stuff.. but I hate thieving drug addict so much it makes me angry. It’s not a left right issue! I do hate the ‘let’s be nice to the homeless and rehabilitate the drug addicts’ attitude of the left, and I think we need much tougher stance on these issues, as a left leaning state.
But it was the people of the state who voted in prop 47, not the politicians. I think that was a big mistake.
And Cheese, I hear you man but you shouldn’t talk about burying bodies on a public forum, for obvious reasons!
This went from a “Missing Woman” post to a “Watch Out For This POS Thief” post.
the thing that bothers me most about this recent incident is that the thieves deliberately left that lit propane torch burning the wood on the deck..How heartless do you have to be to not only rob someone but then try to burn their house down…? I hope it will be held as another count against them when they have their day in court…And I can already hear some people laughing at my naivete but isn’t there a limit to what people can do to each other around here and still get away with it?
Arson is not on the list of charges.
Ya I’m with u in this if it was summer they coulda burned out all of salmon creek homesteads. Wades been here since late 90s claiming to be a gangster whatever the ex said about him not being like this before is bullshit if that’s the same Evans I went to school with he’s changed a lot . If law enforcement doesn’t do anything it’s gonna get worse the more desperate they get every time they get out there starting over stealing a car to go rob again ,fuckin cowards
So SHE is safe, but the rest of us are not?
Hope she gets her life straightened out, and never sees these shit head men again…
worlds tiniest violins for thieves in the triangle… maybe try working, or at least growing something.
I’m sorry for their bad deeds, and they all need to be held accountable. I know Heather, she’s a nice girl that has been doing well. Sadly, it seems like she got off track. I’m glad she’s ok, and hopefully she makes better decisions .
She has nice teeth in the Facebook photos. If they are still in her head they probably won’t be for long, hanging out with present company.
Heather is a drug addict not good person and where did her bestie the other loser involved female go in all this and not be mentioned or known about at all?
While your talking shit an want to slander someone under a fake ass name. What is your real name. Goes for the rest of you shit talkers. I bet people had to put their real names on her when they comment. Their would be half the shit talking going on
Check out Facebook.
shame shame, shame alll of them,,,,,,off with their heads
Lock your doors. They’ll be coming to a neighborhood near you soon.
Heather is a good person . !! Had helped many in the community while working for Waterfront. PLEASE dont judge her. ..You DONT know what DEMONS shes fighting. .ADDICTION is a life time battle. ..I PRAY that if she relapsed she will get help. ..She didn’t hurt anyone..
Property crimes aren’t ok either. ..But a persons life is much more important than any TV ..or whatever it is that was taken. …the Sheriff isn’t even sure if She was there and everyone wants blood. .
San Fran or kc today?
Property crimes do hurt people. It affects their feelings of safety and being violated emotionally. DRUG addiction and substance abuse disorder is a serious medical problem and should be addressed . She needs inpatient treatment. Not all drug addicts rob and terrorize the community.
wow
