Read the part where it says...."They were chasing him with a gun."

~snipped from the above article:
The Gaddys said their son heard the fatal gunshots but did not witness the shooting, the newspaper reported.

The couple also said they fear that vigilantes might hurt him.

“They’ve already chased him with guns,” David Gaddy told the paper. “Until they catch who really did this, Mike is in danger.”

David Gaddy said his son is mentally retarded and no longer associates with Dailey.


But it doesnt say WHO was chasing him with guns. Vigilantes... that means that ANYONE could be accusing this guy and threatening to punish him. That is supposed to be left for the law to take care of. Vigilantes scare me to death! Another reason to be careful! There are IDIOTS in the world! yikes! I dont see anything in the PO that mentions Mike Gaddy's name, and it is filed in the wrong county.... unless they were in Oklahoma County and someone threatened him there.
 
Who is John Ebert? Sorry if I am not grasping everything. I am at work / lunch hour and trying to read all the info. What was the link?

Personally, I dont think he is anyone who has anything to do with any of this. Apparently the name Gaddy was run on court records, and there was a filing by a Gaddy in Oklahoma County against this man. Oklahoma County is about an hour drive west of the Weleetka area. So unless anyone can for sure make a connection, I think it was just another name brought in from sleuthing, but I dont believe it is connected. I would be glad to admit I am wrong if anyone has any concrete reason to believe this Gaddy is the same Gaddy. THEY live in Okmulgee County... in the Bryant area.
 
Tulsa~
Thank-you for the information.
You are awesome for keeping this info. up to date.
The article does say that they cant confirm this is the same two that failed to come in for questioning. So I wonder if those 2 are still out there and this is another 2? I bet it is the same 2. Seems like alot of people may have knew more than we thought, maybe?

I hope things are gonna open up and that this makes a true case against a real killer(s)!

PS. sry again for sounding tough... please dont be afraid to post. I just wanted to be careful HOW we say things. Like I said, I was asked to say this, by some concerned locals.
 
Thank the Lord they have them in custody! Hopefully they will have information. I wonder why they wouldnt appear and had to be arrested? We will all be on pins and needles waiting for the release of these names!

Thanks for that information, Tulsa!
Read again.........



Three men who have come under suspicion in the fatal shootings near Weleetka testified Wednesday before a state grand jury.
Two other witnesses failed to appear. The grand jury’s judge ordered them arrested.
 
"A man and woman believed to be witnesses in the fatal shootings of two Weleetka girls arrived at the Oklahoma County Courthouse at 11:30 a.m.

Wearing shackles, the pair was escorted under guard to the second day of multicounty grand jury proceedings on the case."
 
I'm not upset with anyone. But I will tell you all, that I have been asked to be spokesperson, by several locals who refuse to post. These locals are NOT suspects, but they are living with the reprocussions of all the talk about people on here, who have been drug though the mud. There have been innocents who have been deeply hurt by some of the accusations. All I am saying is that through our sleuthing, lets try to show a little dignity and not say things that hurt the innocent. So who are the innocent and who are the guilty? We dont know...and that is what makes this all so difficult. I understand that sleuthing means speculation. Sigh, I am not sure how to put all this into words, other than to say, lets not jump to conclusions and say the wrong thing. Does that make sense? Maybe it would be kinder to say, "what if" instead of appearing to point fingers and make people look so bad.
Remember, I say this as someone who is near to the people who are in the community.
I know everyone has an opinion..... lets just be careful. ok?
(I say this with a soft voice and hope people can understand what I am trying to say)
Frog, I say this with all due respect.

Because you have chosen to speak for some you've spoken to speak for has no bearing on what posters who are members here post.

When something comes out in the Media regarding this case, we, the Members here at WS are going to discuss it, dissect it, and give our opinions.

Continue posting you and your friends opinions, all thoughts on this case are welcome, but please, if you will, don't chastise posters personally for posting their information.

I think I already gave my apologies(more than once) if I sounded gruff.
 
and again.... sry... didnt mean to sound gruff just then. I stated then and am now, I speak with a soft voice.

snipped from above article and boldedby me

Two other witnesses, whose names were not available, were ordered to appear before the grand jury Wednesday but failed to do so. The judge overseeing the proceeding ordered their arrests, but it is unclear if the two suspected witnesses Thursday were the same witnesses.

Wondering how many witnesses there could be! Wowwy!
 
The Oklahoman reports three men who have come under suspicion for the murders went before the grand jury in Okfuskee County this week. Eighteen-year old Dustyn Dailey spent two hours answering questions. Daily is currently in the Okmulgee County jail on second degree burglary charges.

Also testifying were 19-year old Mike Gaddy and 30-year old Tony Kelough.

Gaddy's parents told the newspaper, their son was at a friend's house and heard the shootings, but did not witness it. They also say their son is mentally challenged.

Kelough told the newspaper he had nothing to do with the shootings.

I honestly don't understand what you mean, Frog. We did not create the media news which lists these three guys. I haven't seen anyone say a specific person or persons are guilty of this crime, proof positive, since learning this news but only that we hope the GJ investigation being held now will ascertain facts that may move this case along to a justifiable conclusion.

And how do we know who the innocent ones are in this case? I sure have no knowledge one way or the other.

I don't post on Topix but I do read often and it seems according to them..that many of the locals are also saying many unkind and scurrilous things about other people in their community. So imo, it isn't just "here." That is why I dont post there because of the continous mud throwing.

I don't mean to be arbitrary but I just don't understand your stance on this when it is breaking news of sorts. You are right we speculate because no one knows at this time who the killer(s) are but when the media says three guys are under suspicion in the Weleetka slayings I don't think we can just dismiss that and not debate those possibilities. JMO tho.

How many times have we read that someone believes PP is guilty of doing this? Too many to count but even though I don't agree with that, I do know that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and speculation is what we do until we are convinced who the real killer or killers are.:confused:

JMO tho.
 
This will be interesting to learn of their names, and if we've ever discussed them here. Hopefully, that info. will be released soon.

It is sure odd that they would risk arrest by not appearing under subpoena to a GJ.

imoo
 
Hmmm...did you guys already know about these three? I thought the name Kelough was quite interesting.
Yep, we knew :). I posted in the Links thread that bit, and then todays update about them bringing in a guy and a gal.
 
Hmmmm...not finding anything on them. Glad they have this handed over the GJ tho. Gives me a glimmer of hope.
