L is for LSD & Other Drugs

The arcade seems to me like a major hub. And I wasn't the only one suprised it stayed open so late. Edward Beckley owned it and Kathy Beckley managed it?! Your killing me! Wonder if the boys stopped by there that night

Wouldn’t you think if he was already scheduled to be moved from the Dorris home that they wouldn’t have let him continue to roam the streets like an adult?

Nobody is to blame for their deaths but the killers - but the Dorris’s were letting Dana roam the streets just like Sue was letting Johnny. As has already been mentioned, we had Lucy S who was said to be some kind of counselor to Dana (?) taking them to a MV party and his PO witnessed him hitchhiking around 8:00pm on a Saturday night and didnt even stop to question his assigned delinquent to ask who he was with or if he needed a ride home.

Kathy B. didnt mind confronting Alyssa over a locket but she wasn’t busting down the door of the Pcso to tell them she arraigned their ride home, and Cruzita didnt mind spreading the rumor of Marty and Sue but couldn’t waste her breath to tell the truth about the ride.

Why won’t someone finally step forward with the truth because somebody knows what happened

That’s exactly what I’m saying - why wasn’t he really being accounted for since he was having to be moved to a more “secure” home.
And surely this security issue was addressed in the reports??

That’s how it seems to me JR - Dana’s move was for personal security.

If either or both were narcs who would have been responsible for asking them to do that and would the entire PCSO have known they were informants - would seem kinda risky for more people to know - even if they were LE they’re still human and still talk.

I’m really interested in this drug angle - and so many people right down to Doug Thomas thinking that was the motive.

The only thing in DT’s “no secret” files that made reference to a specific officer was - “Forcino retired”. Did he think Forcino retired because of the stress of knowing something?

An informant program involving juveniles that got juveniles killed? That's one hell of a black eye

The truth is neither of the boys may have been narcs - but somebody could have thought that they were.  

Here's DT's list. I don't know what it meant to him but here's my take: 1. He had lived Cabin 28 at some point (maybe he wondered if the killers thought he still lived there) 2. Forcino retired (maybe he wondered or knew he retired because of this case) 3. Mollaths daughter murdered (maybe he wondered if there was a connection) 4. Thought body was Jeff (I've heard many LE who have children often say that they think of their own children when going to a crime scene where a child/teen is a victim - so surely no different for DT - or he seriously thought the body on the floor was his son)

Wondered those same things and tried to look into it a little bit. The 1974 FRB article announcing him joining PCSO said:


The way "Juveniles" is capitalized. It doesn't "youths" or "children".  The article makes it sound like his teaching was LE based. That's my take on it at least & its interesting.  Will see what else comes up.
