Stephen Marshall

UPDATE:

Yes, I know most of you are here looking for his blog. And guess what? I know the address of it. Yep, that's right. I know the link you are looking for. Sadly, I can not give you the link... instead I can only tell you that T.O. Crime is sure to have it, links to that site below.

Stephen Marshall's action are difficult to understand. No one seems to be able to say for certain what caused him to drive from his home in Nova Scotia to Maine and fatally shoot two of the States registered sex offenders.

Police say Stephen Marshall of Nova Scotia, Canada, looked up 34 sex offenders on the state's online registry before showing up at the homes of Joseph Gray, 57, of Milo, and William Elliott, 24, of Corinth, and shooting them with a .45-caliber handgun. Marshall took guns and a truck from his father in Houlton before going to the victims' homes, authorities said. Continue reading


Marshall, who shot and killed himself when confronted by police appears to have left few clues as to why he choose the two sex offenders, or why he targeted sex offenders from Maine at all.



Amazingly, I only learned about this crime while reading T.O. Crime, by Harding. He's our Canadian watchdog, keeping a keen eye out on the crimes of in the great North. Harding has done an excellent job writing this one up, and I hope you take the time to go over and read the information he has provided on his post Hunting Perverts. And for a good read of Canadian news coverage of the story, check out this link.

Boy, has this one opened a can of worms! There seems to be a pretty broad and somewhat explosive discussion going on about public access to sex offender registries. I find it remarkable though, that most of what I find in the media is in the Canadian press. I'm shocked that there is not a larger discussion in the U.S.

Is it out there and I'm just missing it? Or, maybe it's not as big an issue as I think?

Perplexed,
Harding

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Linsi E. Light

When it came on the news last night, there was very little information. Even today, although there is more coming out- there still is a rather chilling "quietness" in the details of the case. You must understand, my home town is rather small. Murders front page news. So when the second murder of the year was shuffled into the mid section of the paper this morning, without so much as a name for the victim, it seemed- well it seemed odd. It wasn't until this evening that one (out of two) local TV news stations picked it up enough for it to hit their website. What I have been able to compile so far, is that at some time last night, Lima Police received a call about a gun being shot. They arrived at 1212 Bellefontaine Ave, on the east side of Lima to find a 19 year old OSU student dead. The young woman would be identified as Linsi E. Light, a first year OSU Lima student from Montpelier Ohio , a small Ohio town with just over 4,000 residents. She apparently had been shot in th...
