GUILTY WA - Ben Eastman, 16, raped and murdered, Lewis County, 23 Jun 2018

I hope this is admissible if not admin my apologies.
This is off topic in this thread. However it is an ‘Unlawful Detainer Action” (Eviction) that was filed against Kindra Marquez on June 14, 2018, in the Lewis County Court. Here is the link for the case. Just enter her name.

@Sanz - if you can still "Edit," my only suggestion is that you refer to her in this post as Kindra Adamson AKA Kindra Marquez. There may be more of these AKA's pending. -- IMO, it certainly explains bail situation.

Thanks for the tip @Seattle1. I was able to edit that. I was reading the article you posted on the death penalty. They sure have gone up and down with that.

Political campaign ads are heavy this evening and one was quoting the DP House vote so I looked it up and thought to share it here.

Thanks for the link @Knox. I am searching State records involving myself because I’ve got all accurate search data. And the link is sending me to WA ST courts, and all the different County offices within WA ST. Is there a trick to it?

She has 6. I went through FB a while ago and figured out the baby daddies but unfortunately I can't remember which kids went with which baby daddy and I don't want to give misinformation. I do clearly remember that Benny's father was a violent felon that has done prison time.

The Apple didn't fall far.

Tiny Washington town holds memorial held for teen homicide victim
7/9/18

RANDLE, Wash. - Hundreds of people filled the White Pass Jr. Sr. High School gym. The Timberwolves' bleachers held community members and a makeshift center section of folding chairs held the family members of Ben Eastman III.

Randle is a town of less than 3,000 people in east Lewis County. The combined junior and senior high school has less than 250 students and Eastman's sophomore class had only 32 students in it.

The details of Eastman's death - in which two suspects have been charged with murder - would be gruesome no matter where it took place, but in a community as small as this one, no one feels emotionally distant from the tragedy.

I heard the School principal (Chris Shumaker) do this radio interview where he again elaborated on Ben Eastman's character saying he really liked sticking up for his friends when caught in shenanigans (that Ben was able to sidestep and not get caught). "Ben tried very hard to plea deal consequences his friends earned," and when not successful would say he too deserved detention. "He was a good kid."

Like many small, rural towns, Lewis County has a "police blotter" -- a couple sentences about a crime or arrest.

In the comment section, it's the first time I've seen anything written about either of the alleged murders, by a local. Specifically about Jonathon, one commented that he employed him a short time,let him go, but "He seemed to be an OK person." Others express how terrible they feel for the Grandparent's (Adamson?), and can't fathom what they are going through. I believe JA likely has strong family presence in Randle area, and Benny more so in Benton, County (about 150 miles from Randle). Does anybody know where Mother Kindra hails from?

 

[Seattle1]

When I read the headline today about the young kid dragged from the bodega in the Bronx, It dawned on me that this horrific crime against a childhood friend might just be gang related. Between the Nortenos and Surenos (esp Benton County where Benito could have ties), there's at least 27. I understand earning these stripes will follow you to prison where you will be top dog. Also, if you are in fear for your life, would this make you protect your sons and fiance?

New York City police say the 12 gang members accused in the June 20 slaying of Bronx teen Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz believed he was in a rival gang — and did not think the 15-year-old had appeared in a sexual video with one of the alleged assailants’ relatives.

On May 1, 2015 (probably about the time JA attained age 18), Jonathon Robert Thompson legally changed his name to Jonathon Robert Adamson. (Also, I'm assuming that Adamson is Mother Kindra's maiden name)...

Yes Kindras maiden name is Adamson. Jonathon has an older brother JT. It’s exciting to see your posts.

Unforgivable and the brothers are too depraved to be returned to society.


In my opinion......

 

[Sanz]

I thought it was kind of unusual that there wasn’t any type of press coverage on Ben’s Memorial Service on August 4th.

 

[Niner]

Okay - Washington State seems to have change the method in how you can search, now there is a fee, or at least what I can find....

 

[Niner]

@Seattle1 - can I rely on you to get me the next court date for Kindra? I go to the one I have bookmarked, but it has completed changed.... I can't look any of them now.
TIA!

I'll see what I can find. I do know she never made bail!

Hmm...Hundreds attended Ben's Memorial held at the School on July 9, (post #187). Perhaps this was a private service? Do you have more details?
