RETURN 2 VENDOR: Walter E. Ellis
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Police department announce an arrest in the serial killings of nine women over 21 years. Investigators matched Walter E. Ellis, 49, with DNA found on each of the bodies of the nine women killed from 1986 to 2007.
Science and stubborn determination pays off.
“This case was solved with shoe leather and science,” Police Chief Edward A. Flynn told the news conference. “Continuing advances in DNA technology have enabled us to link these homicide cases, and it was good work pursuing numerous leads that led to the arrest of the suspect.”
According to CNN, the “Milwaukee Police Department’s Homicide Task Force Cold Case Unit poured through evidence that included more than 700 names contained in the nine homicide files, 15,000 sexual assault investigations spanning 23 years and 6,000 prostitution-related cases. They searched the state DNA databank of 125,000 people and a national databank of 6 million people.”
Should Ellis be found guilty after trial…
Return 2 Vendor: Phillip Garrido
Sadly, horrifically we are now learning that Jaycee Dugard was not the first victim of Phillip Garrido. For a disturbingly tragic yet fascinating report on the history of Garrido the sexual predator, see the story compiled and written by the talented Mallory Simon of CNN.
As this case further unfolds, it is nearly impossible to follow the trail and its facts without totally disgust.
Stealing people off the street, smuggling them to some seclude spot, sexually assaulting them and then shackling them in a shed?

After deliberating for nearly three hours, a Florida jury recommended the death penalty for Michael King, 38, a plumber who kidnapped, raped and murdered a police detective’s daughter. The jury’s unanimous, 12-0 decision was announced just one week after King was convicted of first-degree murder and related offenses in the January 17, 2008, death of Denise Lee, a 21-year-old mother of two boys.
The heartbreaking tape of Denise Lee’s frantic 911 call on her captor’s cell phone no doubt led the jury to its decision. In Florida, the jury “suggests” a verdict to the Judge. The court is expected to uphold the unanimous decision.
According to CNN, experts testified “that scans indicated that King’s brain was abnormally shaped, especially his frontal lobe: the center for logic, planning and reason. His IQ was described as about 76, in the low range. A person with an IQ of 70 is considered to be mentally retarded, according to testimony.”
James von Brunn, the 89-year-old man charged with murder in the shooting death of Stephen Tyrone Johns, a guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, was denied bail Wednesday. von Brunn, a self-proclaimed white supremacist, told U.S. District Judge Reginald Walton, ”I’m a United States citizen, and as a U.S. Naval officer, I swore to protect my country,” he claimed. “I take my vows very seriously” according to the report filed on CNN.
So, if his perceived sworn duty is to walk into a public place, open fire and recklessly endanger the lives of dozens and kill another human being, it’s time for him to GO. Qualify his mental status, provide him a fair trial, and if convicted, stamp him Return 2 Vendor.
In the opening months of the Return 2 Vendor portion of my website, I have received tremendous comment and feedback, both pro and con, about my position of defective minds being “returned” to their original factory. Death Penalty debaters, on both sides have made their positions clear to me.
As much as I humbly respect and bow to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, my sense of compassion is slightly different. A defective and tortured human mind should be retired, put out of its misery with all due speed. Not as a form of punishment or penalty, but as a plan to end its pain, torment and misery.
I know, I’m a horrible, heartless human being to those of you who disagree with me. Sometimes though, in certain cases…compassion is only compassion when it uses its teeth.
