The murders in Smyrna
People lives cut short by brainless wonders ( Helen here's terminology )
Remembering the innocent victims!
Smyrna has had it's issues and rather then learn from the past , the town police have gotten a little lazy .

| The NAPA store used to be a meat market, and originally it was a Western Auto. Real nice man named Hughs owned it. My first BB gun and my first .410 shotgun came from there, along with a truck full of bicycle parts. That's going back into the early-mid 60's. What brought this topic back to the top?

| What other explanation is there? And, even if the mayor wanted to do the right thing with him, it has been shown many times that she has very little power and nearly no influence on this council. I was speaking collectively of the council, not pointing a finger at one person. Why do you think I was speaking only of her?

| "If the town people find out that he is being investigated and the council did nothing, there will be h@*$ to pay. Maybe nobody really cares, just noise on this blog." There are a lot of people in this town who DO know, but can do nothing but complain to a town council who will do nothing! That's the whole problem. It all falls on deaf, or scared, ears. The chief and lieutenant of Milton werre suspended with pay a month or more ago pending some sort of investigation. They are still not back to work, or at least nothing has been in the paper about it recently. Hell to pay how? Who's going to do anything if the council won't? This type crap drags the whole town down further than it already is. This town is a laughing stock in way more ways than just one!

If there is an ongoing investigation by the AG of any Town employee, the Mayor and Council would be prohibited from discussing it. Scared?? I don't think so. You obviously don't know the Mayor.
If there is an investigation ongoing against Dickie, the Town Council does not need to say anything, just put him on leave or something, just like other officers and chiefs were put on when AG office was investigating them. It does not matter if the anything happens. If the unknown allegation is found to be untrue, he is back to work. He does not lose any money, because he continues to be paid. That is what makes me think that there is no investigation, if there is, the council has the obligation to protect the citizens and put him on leave. If the town people find out that he is being investigated and the council did nothing, there will be h@*$ to pay. Maybe nobody really cares, just noise on this blog.

That is a most interesting viewpoint. It will also be interesting if it proves to be true.

| I also don't think there is an AG investigation in progess in Smyrna, and if there is, it will probably have the same result as the AG investigation into Mayor Schaeffer about 4 years ago - No action taken.

| Another Opinion - What makes you so sure there is no active or ongoing investigation by the AG? Do you have inside information or are you just guessing? You may be very wrong!

There is no active and ongoing investigation of any town employee by the AG's office. The mayor is afraid of the police chief, as well as the town manager, but I don't know why. Here is a possibility however remote. The late J Edgar Hoover (first director and head of the FBI) had a secret file on every member of the Congress and more. Even presidents feared him. When you have them by the ...ahem..."stones", their hearts and minds will follow. Knowledge is power.

| If everyone knows, why hasn’t the town council done something about it? Does Dickie have that much power? Do not say they are scared, I read in the paper that several police officers and even a Chief was on some type of leave while they were being investigated by the AG. Past posts and rumors has it that he will not leave by retiring, the AG has other plans.

santa --- nice job - you are the first that I've seen post a remark about Dickie and Shelly although everyone seems to know about them. what concerns me is his 2-3 x per day visits to her place during working hours. Doesnt he have anything else to do? Is this how we spend Smyrna tax dollars?
Expect him to retire soon.

Two homicides in seven years? Whoo Whoo. Call in the reinforcements. Maybe Dickie Doo-less Baldwin will then get the council to give him a 12 million dollar station. Given how suseptible and gullible they all are, he'll have that in no time. But me thinks, better things are coming for Dickie. AG and all.. *BROAD GRIN* being investigated by the attorney general's lead investigators and all, one would think that Dickiedoo would have a lot more to contend with than Shelly. OOps. Did I let that one slip? Hey: public official and all. All's fair in love and war.

| Not that it really matters but the young girl who was murdered by her husband when she was only a few weeks away from having her child...well the baby was not found in a trash can. They tried to convict him of murdering 2 people. You might have meant the baby was a separate case. I think it was just wanted to be clear on that. She was a friend of mine. RIP Steph...

Well as the day has went on we have heard of more crimes then what we thought. How about the guy that killed his wife and unborn child over money for Crack that lived on Commerce Street.Then they found the baby in a trash can at the car wash.My grand pop said it was a black man that got killed in front of the fire house name Tinker or Tinkie.
And he also said the murder in Clayton was the worst crime in Clayton's history and should had been charged for two murders.

| What I can't get over is that no one has mentioned Amanda's murder. That murder shook the town to it core. It happened in the mid 80s. She was a young girl that was found murdered in the creek behind the development on Glenwood. That kid that killed her was in jail for a couple of years, let out on a technicallity (lawyer waited until he was almost 18 so they were unable to retry him), he has later, raped & beaten other children & I believe is now in jail for the rest of his life in NC.

| That's right. In the 80's there was the 80 year old woman who was murdered as she lay in bed by her deaf/blind husband by Frank Whalen. She lived in Clayton on Bassett Street, I think. There was also a young girl who was a university student who was found murdered in Blackbird forrest. Then there was the purported prostitute who lived at the colonial hotel who was murdered. I think Mark Mood was arrested in connection with that murder but was not actually tried or found guilty. I can't remember if they ever caught who did that murder. There was a murder not far from the Wayside in a few years back also. I think my dad said that there may have been one or two other murders many years back. Smyrna, like other towns and cities, is not immune to crime. We can't actually blame it on the transplants who have moved here as most of the other murders were home grown.

| I don't know where you've been but Smyrna has had a number of murders since the one in the 80's. At least 4 or 5.

Well the crime has hit Smyrna it is hard to believe that Smyrna had a homicide.The last one I can remember in Smyrna was the early 80's a black man was found dead in front of the Smyrna Fire House. It is going to turn to a bad a town, like others we see on the news. Last week it was Dover they had a man shoot to death right in front of the well know drug house and no one seen or heard anything. We have always said that Lincon Street was a bad place I don't even to the Salvation Army anymore because of the drug dealers that hang out their we were contacted by a man to buy drugs he was in his fifties I bet.And yet we never see any patrol on that street.
It is a shame now a young boy only 18 will spend the rest of his life in jail.They need to do a criminal back ground on the pair of them to see who the real trouble maker was !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
