Homeless fearful after bodies of four found in manholes
POSTED: 7:26 a.m. EST, January 17, 2007
SOUTH BEND, Indiana (AP) -- William Abrams never felt in danger sleeping on his bedroll in hidden alleyways or along one of the city's viaducts. That all changed last week.

The discovery of the bodies of two homeless men in a manhole south of downtown on January 9 made Abrams uneasy. The discovery three days later of two more dead homeless men in a manhole less than a block away scared him and others living on the city's streets.

"We don't know why these deaths took place. We don't know what was behind it," said Abrams, who worked as a semitrailer driver until problems with alcohol and drugs sent him to the streets seven months ago. "We don't know whether it was random or a serial killer.

"So, yeah, it is something to be aware of when you're walking past a corner somebody can hide at or even up under the viaduct. Just trying to be out at night is a fear right now."

Investigators don't believe the deaths are the work of a random serial killer and are working under the assumption someone had a motive to kill the four men, police Capt. Phil Trent said.

All four died of blunt force trauma, and Trent said there is little doubt they are related. "It's just too coincidental for it to be anything else," he said.

Trent said all four men were known to collect scrap metal from vacant buildings and elsewhere to sell -- a subculture fueled by high aluminum and copper prices across the country.

But homeless people in the city say that doesn't make them feel any safer.

"The deaths definitely makes you more wary of what is going on," said James Harris as he stood with his belongings Tuesday outside the Hope Rescue Mission. "I worry about that every day."

The four deaths come as a shock in a city that had 11 homicides last year, Trent said.

He said after the bodies of Michael Nolen Jr., 40, and Michael Lawson, 56, were found on January 9, investigators knew Brian G. Talboom, 51, was missing. The bodies of Talboom and Jason Coates, 29, were found three days later. No other reports of missing homeless people have been filed, Trent said.

To try to calm fears at the Center for the Homeless, where all four men had stayed, officials had a police officer speak to residents about safety, said Steve Camilleri, the center's executive director.

Heh, that's kinda sexy.

Orgazmo · 01-17-2007, 01:07 PM

Ya, they broke in with that a week ago or so when I was back in Warsaw. It's pretty intense stuff. I was kinda pulling for them to find some more bodies by now, though.

DJ FC · 01-17-2007, 01:53 PM

Wonder why nobody picked up the story until this morning?

Ugly Bastard · 01-17-2007, 02:49 PM

It was in the Houston Chronicle last Friday.

Repugnant Abomination · 01-17-2007, 05:28 PM

I thought this was about Bend, Oregon. Now I don't care.

Orgazmo · 01-17-2007, 06:12 PM

If you don't care about men being killed for no reason...then just fuck you. Go get a soul, shitbag.

Cousins live near there, it blows.

Actually Bend, Oregon is among the leading real estate growth locations in the US. It lead all housing markets with a 30% gain from Dec 2005 through Dec 2006. The outdoor activities and proximity to major airports and cities makes it one of the most sought after places to live in America.

Actually it's in reference to cigs, which are refered to as fags in England. If you weren't such an uncultured swine you might have known that.

Orgazmo · 01-19-2007, 10:40 PM

I thought it was in reference to your habit of fucking dudes.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - A suspect has confessed that he and another man killed four other homeless men in a dispute over scrap metal, and then hid their bodies in manholes, police said.

ADVERTISEMENT

Daniel J. Sharp, 56, broke down during a police interview on Friday ahead of a lie-detector test and admitted that he was involved in the slayings, said Tim Corbett, commander of the St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit.

Sharp and Randy Lee Reeder, 50, were in police custody on Sunday, two days after they were arrested in the December beating deaths of Michael "Shan" Nolen Jr., 40; Michael Lawson, 56; Jason Coates, 29; and Brian G. Talboom, 51.

Sharp and Reeder had been charged with four counts of murder each.

According to a police affidavit, Sharp told investigators that he and Reeder planned and carried out the killings sometime between Dec. 18 and 21 because they suspected the four victims had stolen scrap metal that he and Reeder had collected to sell for salvage.

Sharp was to be arraigned Monday in St. Joseph Superior Court. Reeder was arrested in nearby Berrien County, Mich., and was awaiting extradition proceedings.

Sharp did not have an attorney ahead of Monday's arraignment, according to officials at the St. Joseph County jail. Police in Niles, Mich., said Sunday they didn't know if Reeder had an attorney.

Dumbshit, you never have to take lie detector tests, as they are bullshit.
