Interesting conversation between the Meeks. Hammer? Basement?
LaRonda: Well, they could have checked the evidence out a little bit further instead of stopping and right when Marty said the shoes came from, the shoes that they found in his stove were, had blood on them so he burnt them, so he burnt them and the blood was rabbit blood because he had went out hunting and skinned rabbit. They didn’t even test the shoes. They didn’t find, they didn’t look for anything----- (interrupted by Walter Meeks)
Walter: When you find the hammer and stuff down below in the basement—
Glenna: I can’t understand why that wasn’t (unintelligible)
Walter: To me, that’s only common.
Glenna: Why wasn’t that—(interrupted again by Walter)
Walter: To me it don’t make no sense why they didn’t do it.
Glenna: Maybe they didn’t go down in the basement or something, but I don’t understand that either, but, why didn’t they, the evidence was there, why didn’t they do something with it?

I assumed they were talking about Marty and Marilyn's basement? The Meeks were a great source of info right down to the blood on Sue's car. Ha!

I recall in May 2016 (after 28 made the trip to Quincy) Meanie posted on her forum that there was no blood on Sue's car. So I guess that was just one of many rumors that went around.
Thanks Raemen and JPT for informing us of Glenna Meeks passing. Seems she was well thought of by those who knew her.

www.plumasnews.com/life-tributes-for-the-week-of-7-11-18/Glenna Jewell Meeks On Nov. 29, 1932, a miracle happened. Glenna Jewell Blanton was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She is now known as Glenna “Nina” Meeks. She started her beautiful journey of memory making. She grew up not with a privileged life but love was in abundance to share. As a young adult she traveled across the United States with her sister, Bobby. She started her large family of seven children and took pride in teaching them how to be good, loving, responsible people. She grew with her children. In 1979 she moved her family to the beautiful community of Quincy. This became their forever home. Her home was always booming with family and children’s friends. She adored tending to all of them. She grew again as a grandmother, then great-grandmother. Her life’s motto was, “we are making memories.” As her children grew older she returned to school at Feather River College and received her Associate of Arts degree in 1984, the day after her oldest son graduated high school. Her children and grandchildren are very proud of her. She enjoyed camping, gold mining, gardening, fishing, gardening, crafts and anything outdoors. As an elderly woman she lived and took care of her older sister Bobby, in Quincy. She loved her family, church and Plumas County. She will always be remembered as Nina, Grandma, GG and mom by many. She will be missed by all the people she touched with her loving heart and hands. She was the matriarch to her family; she was loved by all of Quincy. Glenna Meeks was called by God on June 24, 2018, at the age of 85. She is survived by seven children, 18 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. She is in a better place and home is where your heart is; she is home.

What a strange obituary. It fails to list her parents, predeceased siblings, spouse. For all the praise it gives Glenna about her seven children, it fails to list them by name as her surviving family members. As a genealogist, I will tell you that this is a unique obituary. Should we assume she was on the outs with her children? Should we assume they are all so shady they didn't want their names published?
A lot of info was omitted to leave a glowing review of the life of Glenna Meeks.

I agree Cam, but then again I'm from down south where we list everybody we can think of right down to a special pet.
Here is the obituary for the father of the Meeks children (at least 5 of them anyway) but I think that Glenna's two older daughters are listed in this also.
Charlie Albert Meeks age 79, of Archer City, Texas passed away Tuesday, April 10, 2012, in Hospice of Wichita Falls.
Graveside services were held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 14, 2012, in St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery in Shelbina, Missouri, with Rev. Gene Plumlee officiating. Visitation was held at the Greening-Eagan-Hayes Funeral Home in Shelbina, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 14.
Charlie was born June 16, 1932 in Grandview, Arkansas, to Hal Meeks, Sr. and Ruth Marie French Meeks.
During the Korean War, Charlie proudly served his country in the United States Army. He was self-employed throughout his life and was known as a "jack of all trades." He had been retired for over thirty years.
Survivors include four daughters, Charlene, Ranie, Darlene and Larhonda; four sons, Wade, Charles, Richard and Walter; three step-children, Randy, Tanna and Donna; one brother, Bob Meeks and wife, Wanda; one sister, Bonnie Plumlee and husband, Gene; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, relative and many friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to your local hospice.

From the Feather River Bulletin, November 23, 1981. Glenna Meeks gives some insight into how she came to live in Quincy. Interesting comments. Does anyone know if she was enrolled at the college with Sue Sharp, or did she enroll after?

Can you believe she was camping in the woods with all those kids for 3 months? I think the sister she mentions in the article is Phillips mom, Barbara. Don't know if Sue went to FRB in 1981 or if Glenna was going before 1981 so not sure if they were enrolled at the same time.
Newspaper.com, Been Verified, and Ancestry have been an unbelievable source of info for us and is the only way we really know the people on the PON list and their connection to each other. Having access to these sites gives us a true understanding and appreciation of what the dispatcher (in a deleted scene from the documentary) said she believed to be the reason the case was not solved.

Mama Meeks was a single parent since 1968? ? That was a tad unusual in those days. It was still tough for a single mother to get any kind of job, and in Plumas County, there were very, very few jobs for anyone. She thought her kids would get in LESS trouble in Quincy than in Phoenix??? Name three kids in that town who DIDN'T get into trouble. Hell, name three ADULTS in that county who weren't up to no good. Richard got a 13-year-old pregnant in Quincy. How much trouble did they get into in Phoenix? Now, so far as "We just drove around the country until we found a nice town" is pure horse hockey. She moved her kids from Wichita Falls TX to Quincy CA. That is NOT a coincidence. But now I'm really, really curious about why Phoenix. She apparently lived there from 1968ish to 1978ish, apparently with a man she never married...this "Jim the Ex..." And then NO man in Quincy. And how DID she support all those kids? Know who else "lived" just outside Phoenix for a time between 1968 and 1978? David Craig McNarie and family. Luke AFB. Fighter pilot training. Just like Wichita Falls TX. He was living near there again after he left "Hollywood," until recently (at least.) One of the very few people he seemed to get along with was Mama Meeks. And McNarie himself says his family used to go camping in Plumas County when they lived in Idaho (another Air Force Base.)

Here's an article from the Feather River Bulletin, Feb 2, 1978. Front page coverage for Gamberg and Stoy conducting a drug bust on the Quincy arcade. Is that Avery Schreiber? Nope, it's Gamberg!
