Christopher Ireland. I know this person. I've been feeling sad about it all day since I accidentally discovered the story. I've had a strange day today. While walking my dogs at the park this morning I had three interesting things happen. First I found a cell phone at the park. It was dead. I put it in my pocket. I continued walking. On the sidewalk I saw some graffiti. It said something about R.I.P. Austin. I continued my walk and came to see next to the sidewalk a memorial with candles, photos, a skateboard words written on it from a friend of his, cards etc., you know. There was a laminated sheet with photos of two 18 year olds. With there names and the date of the death. I memorized one of the names of the boys, Austin Colby Mitchell. So I went home and did some research and found out that these two 18 year old best friends for there entire life had died in a car accident on 12/5/15. I read about them. They had died at around 2:00 am. All that the story said was that they believe that the boys were driving at a high rate of speed and lost control of the car and crashed into a pole. The two boys were found dead. There was a third in the car in critical condition. I believe he survived.
So I was reading that story online. I believe it was maybe a Huntington Beach local news site. Anyway right next to this story was the story of Christopher Ireland. I had not heard of the story yet. I first saw the name Christopher Ireland in the story. I knew the name. I read the story and it shocked me. I became saddened. I just couldn't believe it.
All through the day I guess I can say it has sorted haunted me. What I mean is, every few minutes it comes to my head, all day.What I feel so bad about is that I have seen him in his relationship with his little boy. I have a son about his son's age. I believe he is about 11 years old. They had what I think was a beautiful relationship. It hurts me to know the effect that his father's decision is going to have on him. I'm so sad for that boy. He will never be able to play with his dad again. I even feel for Christopher Ireland. He will never be able to play with his beautiful child again. His decision has devastated his son. He has devastated the women's families and friends.
I know people think that he is a monster and I guess he is, but I'm telling you he had a great father son relationship from what I saw. He was a loving father. This part of his life was normal. His relationship with his son. I'll even say better than normal. He obviously has a sick side too. I know that this guy is feeling horrible pain about the loss of his son. It kills me that this boy is having to deal with this. He will never be the same beautiful boy that he was.
Well those were the three interesting things that happened to me today on this strange day. It feels like for some reason, God, wanted for me to know about this situation, because like I said, I only found this story on accident. I am only an acquaintance of this man. Which is a whole other story in itself but I don't feel I should get to personal about it, so I won't. I did try to text his phone to reach out to whoever may receive the text to offer my support to their son. But for some reason his phone was blocking messages. I may actually call the number and see if maybe his wife answers. I know this probably seems strange since I have already stated that I thought that her interview was odd. Just because I thought her statements seemed odd doesn't mean that she is lying though. She could just be in shock and acting what appears to be strange.
So again, the "strange day", I found the phone, the boys killed in the car accident, lead me to the story of this horrible murder.
I brought the phone home with me. I assumed it was dead and broken but my charger fit it so I charged. It worked. So in trying to figure out the mystery of this phone I came to realize that this phone belonged to a drug dealer. There was also a single photo in the gallery. A selfie. Her name is Julie. From the messages with her contacts I figured out that she seemed to be some kind of I think almost a possibly smalltime drug trader. I should say that I know she was a small time drug trader, the homeless part I'm pretty sure about.
A Strange Day. Has anybody ever heard the song, A Strange Day, by The Cure. It's actually one of my all time favorites. It is beautiful. One that probably not to many of you have heard. [video=youtube;c4mym0EFKM8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4mym0EFKM8[/video]
This strange day is what brought me to sign up at this site. A Strange Day.
