By the way, if you look at the aerial view of that address using Google maps, it looks a little creepy. Nice neighborhood, but that one has a dirt backyard and a car parked in the side yard.

ok I give up, I have spent a half hour looking for a pic of Jessie Llorento…. can’t find it. Every article I read has NO pic. please give link, you have me curious to see the pic since you said you might want to compare.
So, from the last several dozen posts – What has caught my eye is: one of MH’s friends on Space was Chona Lawless, elsewhere I have read that Timothy & Chona were divorced. And, we are seeing some other photo(s)connection between MH and a Mr. P Espinosa – who happens to have the same address as Timothy Lawless?
Are these the connections being made here? It would seem it a circle of friends where at least two of them have similar hobbies.
Wow!
You guys are awesome!
But, isn’t it Sinclair that has the thick mustache?
If Sinclair was MH’s boyfriend, they would all know each other, right?
I think I’m missing something…
Where’s a picture of the caretaker?
Is he the one that ties everything up, leaving MH to die from swallowed razor blades and, if she lives, sworn to secrecy?
Blink:
Can you speculate for me, please. Opinion only?
Cheryl-Here is the link for Jesse Llorente III, he is on the 2nd picture.http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090320/A_NEWS02/903200319/-1/A_NEWS0802
This is all in the silicone valley, right?
IMO there is a connection to JBR somehow.
The Facebook guy does seem to resemble the guy in the photo with Melissa Huckaby. However, both the photo from her MySpace site and the Facebook photo are small. I’d have to see much larger photos to be sure.
I’m not convinced that the guy on Facebook is the parole officer. The surname Espinosa is too common to say that comfortably. He also looks too young.
Heavens! 203 comments, is that some kind of record??
Please don’t ever stop digging for the truth. Thank’s for all you do, Blink!
PS; not only is Blink a woman, she is s drop dead gorgeous blonde!!
Lol, my dear friend LJ, check is in the mail..
B
Never mind, I found it…
Thick mustache… again.
Grandpa, too.
But, which one was being interviewed
the day before the witness came forward?
If it weren’t taken already, I’d call myself confused.

Yes, the man in the picture on MH’s myspace (before someone changed it to “courtney”) is the same man on my space listed as Phil Espinosa, there are links above. And someone discovered that PE and TL play(ed) on the same softball team, Gayle Manufacturing or something like that. There is a team pic someone posted the link to and it clearly has a pic of TL, however, PE doesn’t appear to be in the pic.
Post 171 & 181: “Which Espinosa lives there? Or are they one in the same?”
I think these are two different Phil Espinosa’s. The Phil Espinosa having the same address as T Lawless is 40 years old – The Phil Espinosa who is in the softball team photo with Lawless must be the 40 year old probation officer. And another mystery – which one of the players in the photo is Espinosa ? There is a younger man sitting down on the right – but he looks heavier than the younger Espinosa with MH & Facebook. T Lawless is 44 years old.
The younger Espinosa (according to photos) has a connection with MH and possibly Lawless thru his x wife. Right now – who knows for certain ? WE will find out in the courts ! But, I must say we are gathering interesting information and putting people together !
Wow, nothing on the “Sharphomes”. That looks like a joke, not a name.
That house was sold on September 8. 2008:

Here is the house. What’s with the dirt backyard and all the cars?

Nice digging on here Lobo, but just an fyi, Google imagery can be up to 2.5 years old in some places. Im not really sure why but not all areas of the country are imaged frequently.
B
Couple more things. Timothy’s ex’s maiden name was Rodwell, from Tacoma, WA. She was formerly married to Troy Neasbitt, who is a cop in Texas.
What about the two men with the last name of Lawless who are registered Megan’s Law sex offenders? Both have committed acts against children. Are they relatives?

Click on name/more information and then the “offense” tab.
Dear svl…when you mentioned a possible sting operation, that struck a cord along with the other poster(s) who feel PE appears “too young” to be a parole/probation officer. Not so. One officer I worked with went to FBI as a parole officer when he was in his late 20′s. Also, we had (although most of the department wasn’t allowed to know who they were) adult officers not from the area who stood in as high school students and literally attended as if they were students to perform sting operations on high school drug use/sales….so…if PE is a parole officer, he could just appear younger than he is.
Also, yes, it is clear MH had consciously worked to position herself to appear an upstanding citizen best she could in Tracy, and sadly it prevented a more thorough investigation sooner by local authorties who I can promise you are wishing they had realized what the facts really were!!!
I’m new to these crime blogs. I got interested in the Melissa Huckaby case because it was so unusual and found my way here.
On the way here I ran into websleuths. I read quite a bit over there about this case and I was surprised at how people were rushing to string MH up without a trial and be done with it. Talking about how someone else (like the grandfather) might be involved seems to be a no-no over there.
They claim to be victim’s advocates but that doesn’t seem like advocacy to me. People who truly care about justice want to turn over EVERY stone. There are too many strange things about this case to just end it with MH.
Plus, they actually have a list of banned websites to which people aren’t supposed to link. That kind of censorship is very silly. What are they afraid of?
Another thing that is freaky is the name “Next Opportunity, Inc.” Opportunity for what? Doesn’t have much of a religious ring to it, does it?
Blink
I asked you in previous post if you had any control over all the pop ups on this site?
nope, is the short answer. you have your phishing filter on?
B
Blink, as for the Google imagery update schedules…I asked about that once to someone and was told how and when to update is determined (at least how it was in 2000-2002). Depends on how many “hits” an area gets when it comes to searching. In a big city like L.A. for instance, there are hits ALL the time all over town for this imagery, so that data is collected and known to be an area needing an update. Where I live in the boonies, I know for a fact the house photo I see is at LEAST 6 yrs old because it still shows a dirt driveway and we’ve now paved it.
I can look to my sister’s house in Tampa and it is clear those photos are very, recent. Kinda scary because also…depending on how often these images are updated, the more updated the more CLEAR the image and I can literally see the shingles on their house, which I’m not so thrilled about, you know?
Good morning All,
I may have missed this before but, does anyone know who visited TL in jail? If you notice on the Sacramento County Inmate sheet for TL that Blink has posted, it states that TL had one (1) visit during the week he was arrested.
Blink: is that info public record or could a person call an obtain that info?
Wouldn’t we all like to know who that visitor was??
Every state is different , not sure. My first thought was his Public defender, I think I saw that somewhere, but it does not hurt to call the jail and ask. In most states visits from your lawyer do not get logged publicly or count towards your allotted visits.
Good Morning All-
I am somewhat confused myself now. If indeed PE shared an address with TL and the two played together on a baseball team. That makes a connection between the two. I think that many here, myself included feel that PE age 40 is to old to be the guy on facebook, therefore not the guy in the picture. So where is the connection to MH? (I am referring to PE not TL)
OK, thank you. Yes have my pop blocker set on high.
Brenda, Good points!
Sacsayhuan, how do you know MH and young PE are connected through Chona Lawless? I didn’t catch that in what I read.
Also as far as the “Sharphomes”, I found they came up when I plugged the Rancho address in to whitepages.com as last name “Sharp”.

In El Dorado A Brad Sharp owned 50 acres of land he was trying to sell at 5001 Vintage Trail. That’s all I could find.
I don’t think PE is too young to be a Parole Officer. I think there may be two different PE’s being discussed here. Although the two could be related.
PE Facebook CSU Fullerton (400 miles from Tracy) and PE 40 year old resident of TL’s home. A Phil Espinosa who is 40 years old states on linkedin he is a parole officer that graduated Sacramento in 1995 and works for El Dorado, 20 minutes from Folsom.

Tams in Post 169 posted this pic of A Phil Espinosa in front of an El Dorado Sheriff Car as a possible parole officer.

The PE on FB I am unclear on his connection with MH. The FB Pic of CSU Fullerton Espinosa is here:
http://www.facebook.com/people/Philip-Espinosa/1356296112
and
http://www.myspace.com/philthrill140
This PE CSU student is studying criminology but there’s no way he graduated in 1995 from Sacramento. He was only 11 years old then.
Post 178 TracyMom, I do note the connection that this young PE is from BREA, graduated HS in 2001. Melissa graduated in 1999 from a high school near young PE.
Does someone know something about this young man being friends with MH?
Post 221 – Good Morning
Many feel like the photo in Facebook and other sites being PE looks likes the guy standing with MH at the bar in Blink’s (See MH myspace photo) http://blinkoncrime.com/2009/04/11/sandra-cantu-murder-melissa-huckaby-arrested/
Hey Guys-
Just wanted to say JmBrdy gave me some info that I am running down, if it is verifiable, I will post. However, great job sleuthing on here you guys.

Softball team history: http://gaylemfgsoftball.com/archivedpressreleases.aspx
November 2, 2007 – League officials name Phil Espinosa 2007 regular season batting champion, with .667 avg.
October 26, 2007 – Phil Espinosa led the team with .718 on base pct.
October 10, 2007 – Phil Espinosa will be excused from the first game of this weeks double header. He has been experiencing increasing arthritis and needs to be limited to one game until he can fully recover. The team doctor has cleared him for the second game this evening, but further evaluation will be needed for the remainder of the season.
September 13, 2007 – Phil Espinosa and Chris Norton will be absent from tonights game, both players are taking vacation time to get their game back on track.
July 27, 2007 – After meeting with team officials Phil Espinosa cleared up would be rumors about his retirement. It appears that his agent has misrepresented him to league officials and will be reprimanded for his conduct. Espinosa has no intention of retiring and is looking for a strong push in his free agent campaign.
July 20, 2007 – Associated Press reports that Espinosa’s agent Derek Hall met with team officials today to discuss Julio Franco Espinosa’s return to the team. The conditions of his return have not been dislcosed, however it has been revealed that Espinosa has requested further absence from future games. Team officials are reportedly considering shopping the free agent market for a replacement.
June 8, 2007 – The game’s MVP goes to Tim Lawless for his near flawless batting performance and defense. Great job Tim! The associated press has reported that Phil Espinosa was the prime candidate for the game’s MVP, but was over shadowed by an error in right center.
Could PE the parole Officer and PE MH’s friend be father and son? If the younger one graduated in 2001, that would make him around 25 years old and if the other PE is the same age as TL it could be possible.
WE love you Blink!

What does Fred Williams rap sheet look like? Is there a link to view it?
Thanks…radiogirl
I’d also like to get clear on the Elder Tuck (appears to be around 60ish years old from website photo).And a man by the same name and a pastor I believe,that was arrested for child abuse in Canada?
Are these men related?Didn’t Elder Tuck sign Lane Lawless’ website guest book?
For supposedly innocent people,the Lawless’ sure have a lot of sex offenders in and around their family.
Oookkaaayy,
I’ve tried following the discussion, and I think you all have figured that there are two PEs? Am I correct? The older is the one listing the same address as TL?
Did posters ever have a name on the man next to MH? If not, what are the odds that he happened to have been outed in a random search of PE’s related to TL’s address?!??
Am I lost on the younger PE? Help!
Post 225 — Sorry, when I copied and pasted – failed to leave a space between Sharp and home (address) – combining Sharphome. Thanks for correcting the situation.
Reading “great job Tim!” #228 makes me want to vomit…..

Okay similar questions are being asked – I think we have some tenuous links between a circle of friends along the following lines:
TL was married and now divorced to Chona Lawless – CL appeared on MH’s My space as a “friend”. In addition, there was/is (?) a picture(s) of a youngish hispanic man with MH who appears to show up in a picture with TL and is listed as having the same address as TL. The confusion stems from probably picking up another PE, not related, along the way.
A real estate what Ralien? Agent?
B
Have I got this right folks? You all are amazing picking up these odd bits and putting them together.
One other thing-not sure if relevant – but I googled Chona Lawless and found she was/is a real estate in the Rancho Cordova.
In addition to sharing the same address – TL and PE played softball together – Whew! Tenuous, but scary, nonetheless.
has anyone seen Fred Williams rap sheet?
Re: Post #237 from Sacsayhaun:
I posted the link in Post #169 – it is linked to pictures found on a professional photographer’s website (Peter Anderson Photography). The pics are from an Oak Ridge High (in Folsom) football game; the specific one called out is of probation officer Phil Espinosa & another El Dorado County LE officer who attended the game. I was certainly in no way trying to ‘steal’ Mr. Anderson’s work – just wanted a visual reference to show everyone here that the Phil Espinosa who shares a Folsom address with Lawless is 40-ish. . . perhaps his photos are copyrighted, thus the ‘Fraud’ warning you are getting? When I open it up I do not get that. . .
Tam’s your ok- looks to be a system thing, you provided the link so no issue if they are on the web
B
Yes, real estate agent. I searched the office web site where she was listed as having worked and could not find her. Agents are very mobile, however.
Did she have a resume out there or something?
B
I fished around but couldnt find anything else, but I’m sure someone else, with more time, might have better luck. RE agents love to market – so I am sure its out there.
So it’s FOR Sure that Chona is listed as a friend on MH’s myspace? Link please…if one still exists.
Don’t see a resumé… just this but you don’t know for sure it’s the same person.

Tams – Post 169 – Please do not think I was jumping on you – I just didn’t understand why I could not get the link up. After Blink posted 241 – he’s right it’s my System thing. I just installed an updated version of Norton Anti Virus 2009 – and am working out the kinks.
After Blink’s post – I just by passed Norton – and it came up !!! Thank you so much for the photo !!! Now I can find Phil Espinosa in the Softball team photo !!! I apologize for any misunderstanding.
According to the following website: http://antichildporn.org/org_board.html, there is a “Tim Lawless” associated with ANTICHILDPORNORG!
“ACPO would like to Announce Homayra Sellier on board the BOD and Thank Tim Lawless.
Tim Lawless has been with ACPO from the beginning of our mission. We all; the BOD (Board of Directors), and Natasha would like to thank
Tim for doing so much for our organization. Without Tim Lawless we wouldn’t have grown this far. Tim has been advising us and Natasha for four years. He is now turning his seat over to Homayra and moving to the advisory board, where he is best suited.
Again we all at ACPO give Tim Lawless ‘Shouts out’ for all his hard work and love of ACPO.
Thank You Tim, and welcome aboard Homayra.”
Blink, could you contact them to determine if this is the same TL who was arrested recently? (Contact info listed on website.) What a blow to the organization if the “Tim Lawless who has been helping the antiporn organization for the last four+ years” is also the same TL accused of being a child molester/rapist.
By the way, I commend all of the work you do on this site. WS does not hold a candle to you.
okay B – you’ve got my spidey senses going off – I’ll bite – why are you interested? You pick your spots carefully and for good reason – so???
Lol, and we just met, I guess Im not very smoothe.
Nothing I can post, in the tadpole phase and looking like a dead end.
