    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Break in at Carolina Reptile Exchange (Bruce Eisenmanns store)

Kerry S. Bragg

Telephone and address are listed w/ information.


There you go Brian - please let us know what you find out.

Beth,
Sure, leave it up to me! LOL

I will give it a shot, I really am an easy guy to talk to....just a matter of whether or not he gives me a shot.

I would not want to 'drill' him, just hear what he says. It is easier to understand peoples words when you hear their voice as apposed to reading their words.

I have to take my dog to the Vet. tomorrow (my other breeding project. Doing the blood work to see when she is ovulating). When i get back I will give it a shot. I am not going to harrass him by any means so if he hangs up on me, I will just leave it at that.
 
Like I said in my previous posts. I hope Kerry does prove us wrong about his identity. At least then we will know we are dealing with more than one person, which would confirm my gut feeling that this whole thing is actually a conspiracy. Until then however, I will just refer to them as one. It's easier to keep track of them that way:D Even if he is not one of the several personalities that are Bruce, we know exactly what he is. Even he admited to having a "defective character." Now, I have done things in my past that I am not proud of, but I wouldnt refer to those things as part of my character. You live, and you learn. Appearently Kerry has not yet learned (or even lived for that matter, that we know of anyway) as he affirms what we allready know. That his character sucks!!! So, if Kerry ever decides to keep his word and post his I.D. we really wont be any better off. Unless he decides to come clean and answer ALL of the questions that have been posted here. In which case I will be the first to give him some credit for heading in the right direction. Until then, I'm not holding my breath.

Michael
 
I stand correctd, the detective on this case ( as well as others involving Bruce ) is John Martin, Sharon is his secretary.

Harry, the one that came back from the dead, has comporium dsl connection.

Noah also has comporium dsl connection.

dsl = not always the same IP number.

The ads on Kingsnake are posted with AOL
AOL = harder to trace than dsl


Someone else besides dead harry and the pretend store owner noah are posting the ads.

Unless of course they happen to have aol as well as their DSL.



Kerry Bragg where did you go?
You had all this information, yet you were just some guy who sold snakes to Bruce everyonce in a while. Now you realize you have talked too much given too much information and have gone into hiding.

You said you would post your license as soon as this certain other person did the same. Well they posted theirs.....where is yours?
 
Bruce DOES have a laptop at the store in Ft Mill.
He keeps it powered up in his office.
I have NO idea what ISP he has there though.
 
more questions

Heres a look at one those balls, someone tell me that this snake is of breeding size, And I'm sure the one to tell me will be burce/noah/kerry, either way it'll be a big man on the other end of the wire

Valueable information or not... That's some pretty blatant anonymous posting.

Since the information is of value, is important... Why not add your name and make it legitimate?
 
I feel that Kerry is a little more involved than we know of at this point.
He sells/delivers snakes to Bruce.
He does live within a short distance to a local pet store. ( may very well be affiliated with the store in Mt Holly in some way)
He is at Bruces shop often enough to be there just AFTER the break-in and speak with the police.

An old movie cliche that does sometimes happen in real life, is that the criminal returns to the scene of the crime.

Maybe he did the break-in, maybe he is holding the animals for Bruce or is involved in any number of ways with the happenings of the break-in and possibly some of the scams from the recent past in Harrys name.

Either way, many things do seem to be too odd when it comes to this person.
 
Well I guarantee you that in this case the person comes back to the 'scene of the crime'.

I do not feel they were actually stolen. I do not doubt they are gone form the store, but like I have brought up before, what would be the motive/s for doing all this? Why would someone say their animals were stolen if they really weren't? What would there be to gain unless you were trying to get someone in trouble OR trying to collect insurance money.

How many people are in a couple hour distance (driving) in that area that know about these kind of snakes.......referring to the existance in general and what they would be worth. The list of 'suspects' in the area that would have knowledge has to be rather small. If people have purchased 'hets' that have been chipped I am sure these animals are too. They would not be tough to identify if the authorities searched local (generally speaking) snake keepers and found pieds and albino retics.

Hell, on a national scale, the number of people that have these in their collection is rather small. Especially Pieds. There just aren't that many produced each year and the numbers in existance is grealtly smaller than that of other snakes that people collect/breed.
 
I agree with you ReticEd. Kerry knows way too much and his stories dont add up. Insurance fraud sounds more plausable at this point.

I remember Bruce's black impala - is he still with the oriental lady?

Anyhow - the authorities need to look at Bruce's criminal record and see if there is indeed insurance, which I suspect there was.

Bruce, we all know you are reading this - be a man and respond to all of this!

Has anyone called the Kerry Bragg person that was listed in NC yet?

Beth
 
I am walking out the door right now to take my dog to the Vet. I will give it a shot when I get back in a couple hours (calling Kerry).
Why don't those involved in this thread send me an email. Needs nothing in it, just want to gather email addy's...........I will expalin why when I get back.
Talk soon!
 
Just a quick question - would everyone think it would be safe to assume that Kerry is a male and not a female? Beth

Yup. The telephone listing is for a Kerry and Debera Bragg.
 
Insurance fruad

I may have come into this thread a little late but i own a retail reptile shop that was burglerized and high end snakes were stolen and can answer any ?`s anyone has on the subject. Also i`m new to posting here and would prefer if you email me directly as i do not check this site daily.
Thanks......Rick [email protected]
p.s. I`m a real person. L.O.L
 
I do not have allot to say at this point, but this.
There is NO DOUBT in my mind that Kerry is a REAL person. In respect of the TOS and Webslave I cannot go here and post what we talked about. I HAVE talked to him and like I said, there is NO DOUBT that Kerry exists (for those that were wondering, Kerry is a man not a woman). I have to call him back in a few and I would like him to come here on the BOI and post what he has told me. Nothing to exciting, but again, he is NOT Bruce.
