Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I think FACTS would be more valuable at this point.

My advise is let this go for now. I have made some phone calls today, and looked into this. If what I have been told is true, as to why the argument started in the first place, then no one in their right might would post in an open forum as to what started it. I believe in time it will come out, but as of now, I don't think it would be appropriate for someone to post about how it all started. If I were Tom, I would have sought legal council first thing this morning. I really don't think Tom will post about this any time soon. It's a tragic situation to say the least. So, if you don't know what happened, I would hope that you will refrain from all the guessing, and speculation, it really isn't helping anything. I wish everyone involved the best.

Request for privacy from Crutchfield family

This morning I spoke with a very worn out Michele Crutchfield. While the events are still being straightened out with the occurance at the Farm, Michele asked that we pass along this message to the entire reptile community.
Quote:
We want to thank everyone for their concern and kind words during this hard time for our family. What we ask now is that everyone takes a step back and allows our family the time to grieve and heal. No matter what occurred yesterday at the farm, Bruce Stephenson was a wonderful family friend and we need time to ourselves to handle this tragedy. We ask that our reptile community gives our family the chance to heal without additional stress. Within a few days we will have more, but right now, please respect our privacy.

As we said before, our thoughts here at kingsnake are with The Crutchfield and Stephenson Families.

I don't know either person in this tragedy. But both families will be in my prayers.

Homicide investigations are almost ALWAYS opened in the case of a death like this--especially when there is a gun involved. It doesn't matter if it is obviously self inflicted, they have to open the investigation to prove that there wasn't a homicide. I truly hope that this investigation goes well and that there are no more complications for the families involved! This was a terrible thing to happen!
Until it has been proven to be a suicide or otherwise all they can say is that a death occured. Unfortunately the media likes to run with this sort of story, so I hope it doesn't get too popular for everyone's sake.
