I don't know Kay, Karis's son has been on medication for epilepsy since he was 15, taking a handful of pills daily but still managed to function. Not sure what Bo was taking but would like to think if the boys were given pills to take it would have been more than one pill and certainly they would have remembered taking it - if it was crushed up in drink then surely it would have tasted funny and/or it probably would have made them sick. Funny how, 38 years later, we still try to come up with reason why they don't talk/know anything. Ricky should have been questioned as much as Justin about what happened - if not by LE by family.
Sheila always said that her family didn't talk about it and that's very understandable to a point, but for 3 years Tina was still missing. A year after the murders Don and Nancy wrote a letter to the editor in the FRB about how they did not want the murders to become a political issue in the local sheriff's race. I don't want to judge their actions but its hard for me to swallow that Tina had been missing for a year when they wrote the letter yet there was never one plea for anyone with information to please come forward.
28 April 1982 FRB:
MURDERS SHOULDN'T BE POLITICAL Editor: On last Wednesday's People's Dialogue, sheriff's candidate Chesley Pence made what we consider to be an irresponsible statement to the public concerning the investigation of the Keddie murders. The Keddie murders cannot, in any way, shape or form, be considered a political issue at this time. Sheriff Shanks and Investigator Brubaker cannot make any comments on the case without jeopardizing the investigative process of this open case. We have been personally assured by both Mr. Shanks and Mr. Brubaker, and since his appearance on People's Dialogue, by Mr. Pence, that they sincerely do not consider this to be a political issue and we are confident that they will not allow it to become an issue to be missued by the public for political gain. We recognize, support, and symphathize with the community's concern about the yet unsolved Keddie murders. The person or persons who killed Sue and Johnny Sharp and Dana Wingate and are responsible for Tina Sharp's disapearance invaded the lives of the entire community. But, as the immediate family of the Sharp's we wish to make it publicly known that we will not allow a few select people in the community for any reason, and expecially not for politically motivated reasons, to drag out and abuse our pain, our grief, and our hope that these criminals may yet still be stopped from committing another such heinous crime and be brought to justice. Further, our family is satisfied with the on-going investigation of the death of Sue and Johnny Sharp.
Don and Nancy Davis Quincy
