shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for three,

    How much do we know about MH’s mother and her side of the family? And what about dear ole Grandma? Does anyone have any research on them?

    Thank you.

  2. Tracygirl says:

    Who is MH mom? do we know her name? I don’t think we have seen her at all.
    Judy Purk Lawless

    I think Judy’s middle name is Ann…. maybe.

  4. radiogirl says:

    I have heard mentioned that Pastor Lawless does not want to visit MH and I have heard he has been denied access to MH.Which of these is true?

    Also ,where was Pastor Lawless the day of Sandras abduction?

    On that day, he was denied access
    He was not in court Friday, and has been quoted he has no plans to visit Melissa in prison after stating that if she did this she should be punished.. Maybe that got back to her? I’m firm the delay in entering a plea was discussed with the DA in advance and is all about Melissa’s cooperation.

    Thank you, DoubleDecker!

    I wish I had more skills in that area
    and thank you, too, Tracy Girl
    for your vote of confidence.

    Blink I love your site. :)

    Re:303
    I have not been able to determine where Lane Lawless was on that day. We know her grandmother and dd was at home, but Grandpa? also, isn’t it strange MH mom has not come up? Where is she???? We see Aunt Joni and her dad, he grandma…

    Blink do you know if the jail house denied access due to a court order or what have you or do you think MH said no?

    Good Evening All,
    Looks like it has been another busy day.
    I happen to be in the real estate profession, so I looked in the California Real Estate licensing board and could find no current licensee under the name Chona Lawless.
    However, with the real estate market being in the toilet especially in CA. alot of agents are getting different jobs and letting their licenses go. I did not bother looking under a different name, due to the fact that on one of the posting it showed Chona Lawless an agent for Gold River ReMax. It would be against licensing law for her to advertise or list herself under any name other then the one that appears on her license.

    Agreed, but in my state, it should still show whether or not someone is licensed, but the status will be inactive, no?

    Doubledecker….WOW! You are a master at what you do!

    Have you happened to come across the birthdate of Melissa Huckaby’s daughter, Madison? All I’ve been able to find is Sept 2003.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi guys it’s Calimode I did post about Tim’s arrest. I didn’t read all the comments but Bink you’ve done great work. My husband knew Tim. But we didn’t know anything else about this whole thing. Very interesting stuff. Email me if you have any questions about Tim, my husband might be able to tell you more.

    TY Calimode, and may I say your a welcome addition to scared monkeys.. This man had international access. His “E” print is huge. What don’t we know already?

  10. Ralien 7 says:

    CA Realtors Association would probably not list her as inactive. Their only concern is dues paying memebers. But the CA dept of RE is another story – they would list active/inactive as long as fingerprints/testing/et. all was up to date. I will take a swing tonight.

    To back up, however, to post 303; I remember the Monday (maybe, Tueday?) after MH was arrested, Grandma Connie was quoted as saying something like “we all got to see her, we prayed, and she told us she was innocent.” It (the quote) ran in the Stockton Record. In any case – I assumed it meant the whole family visited her, until I read here and else where; Pastor Lawless was not granted access, and another place where he says he has not seen her since the arrest and does not plan to.

    Sounds like Grandma is putting a smiley face over the whole thing (and continues to do so) – while there is defintely something not right between MH and Pastor Lawless.

  11. sweetpea says:

    B-
    Went all the way to the Nationals and could not track a Chona Lawless.

    However, did find a Rodger LANE Lawless in Santa Cruz at Century 21 Award Real Estate, They have his picture on their site. I may be mistaken but I thought all of Pastor Lawless’s sons were also pastors.

    Check out MH’s Facebook photo. Looks like Chona Lawless in the photo with her.

    What photo of Chona are you comparing to this one?

    As I’ve looked at them more, I don’t think they are the same person.

    someone posted a link to classmates.com of chona and TL, but of course it is not there. Not sure if this is the same person as the pic that was on Classmates, but I found this on myspace.

    Also thank you for the post of the pic of Llorento, although I am missing the connection or was there one?

    are we all square that the PE on myspace and facebook account that I posted sometime back is the same guy as in the pic with MH before her myspace was changed??? Blink?? I would bet my paycheck.

    Chona is on facebook too.

  19. julieann says:

    I don’t think they look the same? Do you??

  20. Ralien 7 says:

    Blink – please edit as appropriate.

    As I thought, data for Chona Lawless is found on CA Dept of Real Estate. She is no longer a REALTOR (ie., paid association fees to belong to a local RE association), and neither a real estate agent (ie.,did not meet minimum educational requirements to maintain an active license).

    Having been in the industry for many years, a lot of folks take the simple test to get their license to sell their own, families, friends (or all of the above) real estate, then fail to continue to educate themselves and get out just as fast.

    Interesting – the same home address as posted above for TL and PE (the younger…)

    btw – the picture above with MH looks like the picture of CL posted above from her my space/facebook or whatever it was – sorry, new to this…

    RE transactions would be recorded at the Sacramento County Assessor’s office, or if she was handling family business then probably searchable on a public records db. In either case, out of my league. They would have had to occur before the license was suspended in June/07. Interesting, it was active for only 18 months.

  27. rebel says:

    So, asking how they’re supposedly related makes me a troll? Wow… It seems like a valid question based on the reported info of a “Huckaby relative” being involved. It seems that all the extensive genealogy research has established that this joker is from Northern California, & is related to his brother. How that is relevant to the original statement escapes me, but if I’m missing something, please let me know what I’m missing. But I don’t see any info that leads me to see that they are somehow related.

    Really the only reason I ever looked at this site was because I knew Maria Chavez about 15 years ago, she was a friend of my then-girlfriend. What happened to Sandra was a horrible tragedy, & I hope whoever did it dies a horrible death in return. I guess it bothers me that all the wild speculation & chasing wild geese might be distracting people from the real issue of bringing the killer to justice, whether it be MH or whoever.

    No, asking the same question that has been addressed over and over makes you a troll. I posted a tip from a source, the end. Would L O V E to here how you think this is distracting to Huckaby’s case in any way. An alternative thought might be shedding light on a virtual epidemic in that area, hello?

  28. notalemming says:

    I find all of these posts rather ludicrous from the armchair detectives. you CANNOT solve the “child-porn-rapist” conspiracy from the internet. You cannot assume that because 2 people have the same address listed that they live together OR that they have even ever lived at the same house. If I do a background search on myself it will list my former sister-in-law as having lived at my house… Nope, Never… she lives in another state. It is a very dangerous road to throw people’s names on here because you found them on some incorrect internet search.

    BTW, large groups of child rapists passing abducted children amongst themselves is an urban myth. There are organized child porn rings that pass around porn but many times these are not abducted children but children of the pornographers.

    Remember the McMartin case and all the hysteria behind it?

    There are no satanists sacrificing children either.

    Please stick with facts and reality. MH almost certainly did this and she did it alone. She is unusual in that she is a woman… but she sets fires…. she’s done this before….. she gets off on it. People, this isn’t the world you grew up in. Women are freer now to explore all the parts of their sexuality and depravity. they are even encouraged to do so.

    Thanks Blink for an intresting site.

  29. EyesWIDEOpen says:

    I don’t have the time to troll sites, but I also haven’t seen the connection trail laid out. I understand you all have apparently confirmed they are related, I would just like to see how (Lane’s brother’s son is TLs father kind of thing).

    You probably couldn’t convince me these people aren’t related, or that the charges against each aren’t somehow related. I understand the “legal” innocent until proven guilty – but we aren’t talking about innocence vs guilt here – we are talking about potential connections.

    If someone could, PLEASE, reiterate the “blood trail” for those of us who simply don’t have the time to pour over the (literally) hundreds of posts. This site has become my primary spot for finding/checking on updates to the various cases I am following – and I do not want to feel like a troll or hound for asking a question I haven’t seen the answer to (and I do try to find them).

    Maybe it would be possible to setup a sort of connections diagram? Does anyone have the ambition?

    TIA

    Post 328 Rebel: We are simply taking the initiative to search for information – since we are not the Police, FBI, NSA, CIA, or the Justice Department – we do not have total access to records. The only way we can find info is thru the internet and compare notes. I think the bloggers are doing an outstanding job. Each have a background and different experiences which give the site a broad spectrum – I love the Japanese interpretation !!! Some of these leads are dead ends – some are something to chew on. You must say the Timothy Lawless case and the MH are too close for comfort.

  31. asldka says:

    Dont know if this has been mentioned anywhere yet, but there are several people in the local area that are saying the reason the autopsy was sealed was because it shows that Sandra was raped post-mortem. I guess they can distinguish pre/post-mortem bruising. That’s where the public outrage would come in. Take it for what you will, but that’s the buzz.

  32. Marine Mama says:

    Hey all..

    Is there a link between Robert Roberson..in Houston,Tx who works with
    the probation officers..and the Ramirez dude..who is a probation officer in California?

  33. Sacsayhuan says:

    Plus I may add – nothing is going on in the media. The autopsy is sealed – probably the public will never see “how and when” Sandra died. If anything – I think the more people nationwide focusing and asking questions about this – the better. Looking for the “truth” and finding it won’t be easy.

  34. Sacsayhuan says:

    Post 332 – Comment by asldka —-

    I’m going to be a little obnoxious now – Not because of your post. Your post tells about the local attitude of the community – I understand. What makes me angry are the strategic maneuvers going on by the local politicians.

    So, to back up whatever the local elected politicians are doing in this case or not doing – the rumor campaign is to show the autopsy would be too gruesome for the people to handle ??? What could be more disgusting than what has happened ?

    I am sorry for the family – but this is a public issue – if Sandra was “raped post-mortem” – this would come out in the trial anyway. The major news media are not on a gag order, are they ? The defense attorney is a defense attorney – isn’t he ? The truth is the truth and it should come out in court. This may show how endangered the children species are and prevent other deaths in the future – and shut down anything going on under the table that could harm the young ones.

  35. cyntmac says:

    Post 329- this has nothing to do with exploring ones sexuality due to a freer society. You are out of your mind.
    There have been rings with abducted children but there have been many many more with relatives and runaways and kids in the system, etc. I don’t believe they are satanic cults- they are most often incest cults that over the generations bring in outsiders. They use blackmail to keep everyone involved quiet and can really excel at it. Lots of experience in anything makes you better over time. If you bring in just individuals that you have already comprimised in some way- the skys the limit as long as you don’t F up.
    Get a clue would ya?

    B –

    Small correction to an earlier post regarding location of 3532 Debina Way in Rancho Cordova (the Lawless address). According to Assessor info – 3532 is directly across the street – and has a large pool, spa and well done yards, front and back.

    Sorry, notalemming, but you are rather a lemming.
    My child was molested and sadistically abused at the McMartin preschool.
    Hysteria was and probably still is, the media.
    If everyone could quit speculating about so called satanist child murders and things they know nothing about maybe we could keep the element of hysteria out of this case. Bravo for the judge that put a gag order on the case.

    Let the investigators do their jobs and I bet you will see a lot more behind this case.

    Most-if not all, mass child abuse cases fail. Too bad for our children.
    The bizarre things that Melissa Huckabee is doing sounds like what a desperately abused person who never had the proper help would do out of…desperation.
    There is huge money in kiddie porn. It would make sense that there are powerful moneyd groups that want you to believe that this stuff does not happen-that small children are just liars.
    Mr. notalemming, please take a minute to research the group that espouses all of the “this is just hysteria” drivel. Once they went by the name of Victims of Child Abuse Legislation (VOCAL) Te founders were Ralph Underwager and his wife Holida Wakefield, admitted pedophiles. Now they have morphed into False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF).
    I also knew a families in Wenatchee who’s daughter manifested Multiple Personality as a result of the abuse she suffered in that case. That mess was never solved. Interesting that the Lawless family has ties to that area.
    We’ll see.

    asldka…no…I mentioned this previously. If it were POST-mortem the charge would be abuse of a corpse. It is not, it is rape.

    is there a cliff notes version of that family tree over at monkeys?

    Good Night! I’m getting dizzy trying follow along.

    I think it’s great, the detective work going on. It’s just a little information overload for me.

  42. Brenda in Virginia says:

    What I find interesting about the poster who mentioned “mass child porn rings and satanic cult murders are urban myths” (paraphrased)…I have this to say….isn’t ONE child going through this too much already? Whether one or one thousand, the same effort needs to go into stopping this horrific crime against the most innocent of our society and the faces of our future!

    Good thinking, Sacsayhuan.
    As much as politicians in Manhattan Beach try to ignore their history of child abuse, can many people NOT think about it when they go there to visit?
    Oh, about acquittals, do you really believe guilty people are never acquitted? Or innocent never convicted?

    One thing I will say to support JM, I have interviewed and researched exhaustively on some of the things y’all are bringing up ( I am being intentionally vague) the moment you put the word satanic or cult into an investigative situation everybody looks to see where the accusor is hiding their tin hat. If you do your research it can and does happen, just mo.

    Yes B, I know a person that blames everything on Satanic Cults. This person has no creditability anylonger – thank heaven ! JM nor notalemming believe in Satanic Cults – they say so in their statements! Introduction to Satanic Cults is a diversion tactic to cause problems that do not exist, taking the focus off of reality.

  45. Sacsayhuan says:

    More info on JM – I directed her to your site because the McMartin case was brought up. J is grounded and highly intelligent human being and she feels it would be a shame if this turned into another McMartin and she knows all about the McMartin case ! Go away “Satanic Cult” association.

  46. Tina says:

    Great work guys!

    I have been following BlinkonCrime for weeks, I come here and to SacaredMonkeys to see, what changes have happened, or to see what has been researched. WOW, I must say, I don’t know how you can follow such a twisted up family/famlies. Keep on “keeping up”. I look at it this way….when a friend says I am hitting the gym hard to lose weight and take care of myself, I tell them that if they don’t…who will?

    I have two little boys, and I know I will be keeping an extra eye on who and what’s going on, will I trust the baseball teams coach? I don’t know. Heck, can I trust “all” my family members? I don’t know again….but one damn thing I can do about it all, is keep my eyes, ears and senses ON! I have to say thank you to so many people who post here and on SM.com. I for one have learned alot over this case and all the research going into it. Glad to see some people aren’t just turning a blind eye to what happened.

    Blink, I bet your a pretty amazing person. As one would say, a great catch!

  47. svl says:

    Blink;

    I believe that I have uncovered a photo of MH’s girl, Madison with her Grandma, Connie Lawless. It had to be taken at the same time as the cell phone pic of MH that has been posted because the background is the EXACT same. Or has this already been uncovered?

    Also, I followed up on my post (#223)- I personally called the Sacramento County Jail but, they do not give out information on an inmates (TL) visitation log. Too bad because I think that who ever made that one visit right after he was arrested will help us fill in some pieces to the puzzle.

    lol, I called as well, I got the “this is not Florida” response. That’s ok, but your right. Can you photobucket?
    B

  48. svl says:

    Blink,
    B,

    Sorry, I can not photobucket. Edit as you need.

    Click on this myspace link for MH’s dad:
    http://www.myspace.com/88fingersdown

    Click on the pic of Connie Lawless holding the dark-headed little girl (she looks to be about 5 yo although she isn’t “sickly” looking as previously described). Notice the background in the pic, especially the Christmas Tree.

    Now, take a look at the MH cell phone photo.
