I'm confused. You're not saying OJ was INNOCENT, are you?

Nope.

For whatever it's worth, Max Call's book largely plays down the indications that Lucas was a sexual deviant, even throughout the time Lucas was in the cult. You get the impression from the book that Toole came on to Lucas but Lucas rejected him, and was adamant he would never see Toole sexually. The book also makes it seem like the 12 to 15-year-old Becky Powell was a promiscuous temptress who came on to Lucas, with her as the dominant one in the "relationship" and him going along. You often see the "she came on to me!" nonsense when pedophiles try to defend their actions. Also in the book, it is claimed that Lucas left his family on the East Coast after being falsely accused of molesting underage girl relatives of his, but I'm not so sure the accusations were really false. At least one of the early crimes in his spree actually was kidnapping underage girls. These self-serving narrative elements that play down Lucas's possible bisexuality and evident pedophilia seem more likely, in my view, to have come from Lucas and simply not been questioned by Call.

The closure of the Adam Walsh case with Toole as the perpetrator does leave a lot to be desired. Arthur Jay Harris dug up several witnesses who were adamant that Jeffrey Dahmer, who lived in the area at the time, was the likely assailant they saw. But even more interesting, as I pointed out in my OP on this thread, is that there are several indications Toole and Dahmer may have been members of the same cult who were in on the crime together. And if Adam's kidnapping was a Hand of Death crime, that raises questions about whether it might have been contracted. A little upthread, I posted a snippet from Harris's book about how John Walsh's boss John Monahan was connected to a major drug smuggling network. John Walsh also talked in his book about how upset he was that the police wouldn't categorically deny rumors of a tie between him and the mob. From p.284 of Tears of Rage: From Grieving Father to Crusader for Justice : the Untold Story of the Adam Walsh Case by John Walsh (1997):


All of that, combined with John Walsh's complete acceptance of the dubious case closure with Toole and refusal to sanction a DNA test with the man (A.W.) claiming to be Adam, does make me wonder if he doesn't want the whole truth of the case to emerge.

Unfortunately, the original is blurry and illegible.  Including an excellent post made by Meanie in 2016. Her transcription includes the residents on the Keddie roster, some additional residents of the dorms & WP trailers, plus any corresponding information relating to each person:

Tina's teacher -Joel Lipsey: the full report - 5 pages
by jhancock » Sat Feb 05, 2011 6:34 pm

In Cabin 28: The Keddie Murders Part II, there is a brief mention of Tina's teacher; one woman in the documentary expresses her belief that this teacher was connected to her disappearance in some way. Here is the case file that will supplement that interview in full.

Joel W. L. was interviewed at the Plumas Co. Sheriff's Office on 9-24-81 by Special Agents Bradley and Crim. Joel related the following:

He heard from another teacher on the day of the Keddie murders that Tina Sharp was killed. He came to Quincy to check and talked with someone in the sheriff's office and then he joined the search because he was brand new on the search team and thought he could be helpful if Tina was around because he was one of her teachers and she might respond better to him.

He came to the PCSO about 4-6 weeks after the incident and talked to Ken Shanks about Marilyn S. and her kids. MArilyn told him she thought her husband, Marde S., had made statements about hating kids and that he did not like women. Marilyn told him she has seen some bloody clothing shortly after the murders.

He is a special education teacher and Tina was in his class part time. Tina was in the fifth grade during the 1980-81 school year. He works with slower children and teaches remedial reading, math, etc. Tina was in the fourth grade when she started attending his class. He had Tina three hours a day.

He said Tina made specific references to her home life. He never remembers Tina speaking of her father. Tina was very concerned about her older sister Sheila when Sheila went to Oregon.

Tina did not seem like an unhappy child. Her clothing was not the best. In his opinion Tina was underdeveloped in her social skills compared to her peers.

At one time Tina said her mother's new boyfriend, named Joe, was coming around a lot and this excited Tina because she thought her mom might get married.

Tina was very affectionate and liked to sit on his lap and hug him. He said this was not unusual and other children do the same thing also.

He said Glenna Sue Sharp was very quiet and talked very little when she attended conferences.

Tina had learning problems and didn't act like she was as mature as most 12 year olds. Tina was street-wise and knew how to take care of herself. She was exposed to her older brother and her older sister who had been pregnant. Regarding her physical maturity, Tina was 12 going on 10. She was small for her age. Tina was open and a very hard worker. He couldn't give her enough work to do. Tina rarely mentioned her home life. He doesn't think Tina was trying to reach out to anyone. The family group seemed to be pretty cohesive.

The last time he saw Tina was the Friday before Easter vacation when she was playing handball. Tina seemed happy, no different than any other day. She gave him a hug and then went back to her class.

He saw nothing in his observations of Tina to base an opinion on whether she was sexually promiscuous or not. He wouldn't say it was impossible she could be because of her exposure to her family and the Meeks family. He saw her one cold fall evening dancing in the Pioneer Bowl parking lot with Walter M. Tina was closer to the Meeks kids than any other kids at school. Tina liked to go to Spanish Falls with her brothers and friends.

He doesn't feel Tina could be a participant in the crimes.

He said his former teacher's aide, Gretchen H., might have information that could be helpful to the investigation. He showed agents pictures he had taken of Tina. He said he takes candid shots of the children and then they use the pictures in Mother's Day, Christmas cards, etc.

On the night of the homicide he was out with Tanya H., dropped her off (at her house between 11 and midnight); he then returned to his home and went to bed.
