YES’M
B

I will continue to pray that your exhaustive efforts will meet ultimate convictions in every way possible. Part of me believes that perhaps Christine’s precious life met an end to expose the evil and rid this community from the devil itself. Her sacrifice cannot be in vain.

~Love~

You know what, I agree with you. This young lady had a very special purpose and we intend for her legacy to reflect that.

I reviewed Christine’s case on a few other blogs. One in particular (I’m sure you know) is bashing Christine and her family. They have gone so far as to say that Christine was having sexual relations with Justin, who would have been a minor (my instincts tell me that is a bold faced lie from hell). The comments are posted by ‘anonymous’. It didn’t occur to me until now that it could be Joyce. Is she being looked at or questioned by LE in any of this?

I TIA. Please forgive me if I crossed any lines. The thought of Christine and her family’s names being crucified because of heartless souls enrages me to the edge of heaven. These rumors need to be quashed by the fist of God.

Christine, her family, and yours truly have been maligned horribly because of the issues raised by her story.

Christine was not involved with anyone on that farm and yes, I would presume Joyce will be speaking with LE if she has not already.

Oh dear God, I can’t imagine anyone being able to write something as horrific as this. My stomach is in knots right now. I pray Christine’s soul is at rest. Her children. I’m sorry. I have never read anything like his in my life.

I will not stop praying until she is found! Her children need a place to visit her and grieve.

…and if Joyce is behind any of this. I hope she and Levi NEVER see these beautiful babies again.

Chrisine, I pray you are safe in the grace and ever lasting love of our King’s arms.

Ragdoll-
Thank you for reading about out dear Christine.

There are recent developments in this case I would L O V E to share publicly.

However, we are interested in it’s resolution and not pats on the back and so I will simply say:

For the first time since we began work on Christine Sheddy’s case, I have every confidence that we will find out what happened to her, and that the responsible parties will be brought to justice.

I guess if he meant “sponge” as in mopping up the mess there in the end, maybe he was correct. In the end, her death is going to result in doing just that. I daresay Mr. McDermott will not be heading to “The Hill”.

I have not read anything on this thread since we were on the road last month somewhere around comment 92. There is a whole lot of ground that was covered and a lot that needs to be covered.

Homegrown has been a poster on the Tattler for years and means well. HG seemed to be looking for answers or clarification on mistakes like $24 million in grant money going to the FCVFD. heck if they had that much money the new fire house would be gold plated. They raised most of the money themselves, Boss Hogg (Russ Blake) got them a grant for a couple hundred thousand and they owe something on the building. i am not sure how much.

Scrap metal ain’t nothing but hard work and that is something that Tweakers usually avoid like the cops. The roof material is sometimes called “tin” but its really low grade galvanized steel that pays the least amount of money for the most work to get it out. There might be a couple hundred dollars worth of copper wire. The fans have “dirty copper” windings in the motors but again lots of work to get the clean copper out of them. Not enough money in the scrap metal to provide a financial motive to any logical person.

CORRUPTION

The city of Pocomoke City Maryland is one of the most openly corrupt municipal governments in America.

City Manager “Boss Hogg” Russ Blake is the longest sitting City Manager at 34-years in US history.

Boss Hogg runs the city with an iron fist and is accountable to nobody except the city council. The elections for city council are rigged as the last one where my wife ran is proof of with the ballot box stuffing done in the open. The ballots are numbered and not secret so Boss Hogg and his henchmen know who voted for whom.

States Attorney Joel Todd did nothing about the vote rigging and ballot box stuffing other than to write a flowery report/ the past election was the third election in ten years that has been investigated by the States Attorney or grand jury, no arrests, no convictions, nobody will testify they are all afraid of Boss Hogg.

Pocomoke is home to one of Maryland’s most notorious open air drug markets. The profits are rumored to flow up to city hall because the drug market is reportedly operated by one of the city councilman’s family.

The Pocomoke City Police Dept protects the drug dealers. Xtraham used to tell anyone who would listen that he was arrested for having junk cars in his backyard because he allowed the Sheriff’s Dept video tape drug dealers from his home. A PCPD officer jumped in on the raid from that investigation at the last minute, created a technical reason for a Nolle Prosce in that case.

Councilman Honiss Cane, who is illegally retaining his council seat after moving out of his district in November 2007, bailed out 11 of the people arrested. The 12th could not be bailed out because of a parole violation. All charges were dropped and Xtraham was arrested while trying to move one of his vehicles so the tow truck would not tear up his yard. He was convicted of obstructing and hindering a police officer, whom he now lauds on his website and claims are his friends.

Pocomoke Mayor / initial lead detective in the Christine Sheddy case was recorded on the steps of City Hall laughing about witnessing City Manger “Boss Hogg” Russ Blake destroy public government documents while they were under an active MPAI (FOIA) request. The recording was sent to the Maryland Attorney General and States Attorney Joel Todd within 24-hours of being made, asking for them to investigate destruction of public documents.

Result: Billy Burke was arrested and charged with felony wiretapping, my house was raided by 7 police officers who seized 5 computers, my cell phone, several digital cameras, and a digital video camera that had only been used to film the opening of the absentee ballots Boss Hogg used to stuff the ballot box with 2-days earlier.

The problems in Pocomoke begin and end at City Hall with City Manger “Boss Hogg” Russ Blake.

There was a fire in the past year where a municipal building was burnt that contained maintenance equipment and “some older computers” and a few file cabinets. The older computers contained city financial records and contracting records that could possibly convict Boss Hogg for crimes against the citizens.

The City of Pocomoke sold 3 square blocks of prime downtown waterfront property for $750,000 at the peak of the real estate bubble. The buyer is a Maryland LLC whose members are rumored to include former and sitting city council members. Maryland corporate law does not allow LLC members identities to be disclosed and the city did not ask who really owned the company. The project being built there originally had a $40 to $50 million dollar built out value when completed.

The land was worth about $2 to $3 million at the time and never should have been sold in a private back room deal.

A minor note on the land deal, all of it was seized from private citizens by “Boss Hogg” after being condemned as unsafe by the City’s unlicensed building inspector.

City Councilman Honiss Cane sold the development group the lone building in the center of one block on a 30′ X 70′ lot for a reputed $250,000.00

Why would a group who paid $750,000 for 3 square blocks pay a crooked city councilman 1/4 million for a 30′ X 70′ parcel?

Corruption in Pocomoke is so out in the open even the children know about it.

Several years ago the Police Dept got a grant for an Easter Egg hunt with bikes and prizes. The eggs with prizes were in the city tennis court so access could be controlled. The Chief of Polices grandson was allowed to go in first & alone where he made a beeline to the egg with the “grand prize” Councilman Cane’s grandson was allowed in 2nd. Every child in town witnessed this then they were allowed in to pick up the candy and smaller prizes.

That was the same year the Chief “won” the $10,000 grand prize from the Chamber of Commerce.

Is anyone starting to get the picture about the open corruption in Pocomoke City?

The last Chief of Police copped a plea bargain after being investigated by the Grand Jury, was sentenced to 30-days and only had to do weekends. He is now the equivalent of Mayor in Princess Anne, MD the next town up the road.

Under Chief Whites reign, that was under Boss Hoggs direct supervision the PCPD used federal grant money to train for drug interdiction on Interstate 13. The PCPD would “profile” drug runners on this Florida to New York corridor, pull them over and find a trunk load of cocaine, guns and money. The drugs would be seized and the dealer / mule run out of town (or buried in the woods as many suspect) without being arrested.

The confiscated drugs would then be cut and broken into the smallest possible retail quantities, then sold in the open air drug market at full retail prices.

A pretty darned profitable operation if you ask me. No cost for product, no worry about getting busted and its all sold in the smallest quantity for the highest price.

Mike McDermott led the raid on Pocomoke City Hall after this had all been presented to the Grand Jury. He told me that City Manger “Boss Hogg” Russ Blake was one vote away from being indicted and he was not even being investigated.

The Chief copped a plea, had to do weekends.

The officer who was fired sued the city and reportedly won $250,000 cash settlement.

The only man whom the Pocomoke Police Dept reported to (as they still do) is City Manager “Boss Hogg” Russ Blake. Boss Hogg is still in office.

The cop who led the raid on City Hall, is now the Mayor who told us and Christine’s mother “…she is a sponge on society…” is now running for the Maryland State assembly.

We have contacted the FBI, DOJ, Attorney General, States attorney and when I finally get solid evidence and hand it over. BAM I am arrested for felony charges and have over $20,000 worth of electronics and software seized.

Does anyone wonder why nobody in Pocomoke wants to speak out?

Does anyone wonder why Xtraham changed his tune and is now claiming to be “Pro Pocomoke Law Enforcement” while slamming people he used to support?

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

The pressure has to be kept up and people need to do whatever they can to keep Christine’s case in the spotlight.

I don’t know how the open corruption in Pocomoke is connected to Christine Sheddy’s murder but Boss Hoggs henchmen are working to discredit Blink and anyone who is digging too deep like it’s their job.

It’s Pocomoke…

Yep.
Billy, funny thing is, they are not even good at that. Anyone can say whatever they wish in make believe.
What I know, and what you know, is Christine Sheddy, mom to 3, lost her life on the Byrd Road Farm on the eve of November 12, 2007. No amount of wagging the dog will change that. I look forward to justice for Christine, her children, and her family.
