Clover1 thank you so much for the link. I'm truly sorry Mr. Titus has passed away. I enjoyed talking with him for over two years.
Hello Sunshine 50
Last week as I searched to find out some information in Pecos, I found this link. And over the past several days have scanned through every posting and thread. I have been deeply sorry for what happened to Patty and Mattie and have heard about this for a long time. I did not realize that there was this support that you had and it was “alive” daily, still to this degree. I know that this changed you and your family’s life forever. There IS justice and it may not be visible on this earth to YOU but it is there. People like that do not have peace.
When I put the “40 year old case” in the paper, it was out of honor to my dad, Charles Titus. I know that he passed with this still in his thoughts. He had a heart for this case as I think you probably must have known if you had the 2 years of contact with him. This happened at the beginning of his Law Enforcement career and he talked about it even towards the end. My conclusion is that there was corruption but you know that there has to be the EVIDENCE to prove it. With evidence covered up and destroyed that is why it is thought to be unsolvable as we see it. If somehow by the pure grace of God HE reveals it, then justice can be served on this earth. But woe to these people on judgment day. Some may think that Daddy was a part of this cover up and woe to them as well simply because they have spent some unnecessary time in their heads chasing those rabbits. I see how speculation and deception can really take off.
I wish I knew about this while he was still alive because I could have simply asked him the questions that everyone has. I regret that I did not ask more questions and take more interest in his line of work. We built our relationship on other things outside of his law enforcement. He knew that I did not like to know all of the “stuff.”
Thank you Fish1966 for your sympathy. I receive that. When I got the call from the Pecos Police Department, I was in Dallas working. I quickly packed and within the hour drove back home where my husband was ready to head to Pecos. It was a long haul and we went straight to the funeral home where the gracious people met us. I did not realize all that would be involved along with the fact that I had to write the obituary and meet a deadline since the paper only comes out of Tues and Thursday. But, I began putting thoughts together trying to remember things about daddy to best describe him. (I wished I’d listened more, I wish I’d paid attention more, I wished I’d ask more questions and cared more bout the answers… this all went through my mind and it was too late.) It was just ME to try and gather thoughts about his life. I ended with that statement. Perhaps I should have worded it differently but I did not know what I know now about these threads and postings. Please do not waste any time speculating about what the family meant by putting that or if he wrote his own obituary. I was the family. I put that. It was me, not him. The news of loosing him hit me hard and I was doing what I needed to do to make everything special and honorable to him and best describe his life, his heart and his interest. That’s it, that’s all.
This case touched everyone and still does as you well know. Although I did not know much details like I know now, and I regret that, because he could have explained it to me. I just kept my distance from any details of his work. But I do know, he had a heart for those little girls. I see how speculation can chase those rabbits that are not even there. One person said that they went to the site recently and took his dogs and there were not any rabbits. I thought right; there are not rabbits and some needs to stop chasing phantom rabbits. There is TRUTH and my prayer is nothing but support for you that you will continue in the peace and life that Gods pure grace has for us on this earth. TRUTH does reign.
I wondered if I would contact you…. but here ya go. I chose this time since this has been so out in the open with such slander towards my dad. Let’s say I just had enough. He was a good man with a good heart for justice. Law Enforcement was his life. I deeply regret the loss of your sister and her friend. Words can not even describe the detestable act of taking precious lives.
God Bless you Sunshine 50. I am not sure I can read much more on your link simply because of the slander of my dad but I want you to know that I send blessing and peace to you and to the ones that are truly your support. May God show you the ones to lean on and the ones to ignore, don’t chase their rabbits. It will just wear you out.
