Sheriff Larry Waller has issued a press release regarding the unexplained death of Donna E. Giroux.

The release, issued 32 hours after the body was found, also seemingly addresses an open records request filed with the sheriff's office Monday regarding four unexplained deaths by The Herald-Gazette.

I'm sure Sheriff Waller knows the importance of "open records request."
It was ahh..ahh..uh considerate of him to put out a Press Release.
Didn't Waller file requests while he was temporarily "vote challenged"?

Why do you think they call it dope, DOPE?

If you know Joe Buice.....please email me at [email protected] and update me on your family. Remember Camp Meetings at The Church of the Nazarene? Thanks....Sheila Tolley (Gail's sister)

''Speculation is never appropriate in any investigation and regardless of the rumors that are being circulated; it is reckless to guess in such a serious matter. ''

Funny how he did this himself with the first 2 deaths. It's written here on the site somewhere.

Im surprised no one seems to think the deaths are due to the terrible food being served in Lamar County...I mean what is it going to take for us to get something decent around here???

In other words: Don't pay attention to anything the local coroner says after "I poked it, and yup, it was dead."

"If there is concern by a few people over “bad dope” being distributed in Lamar County use common sense and DON”T USE ANY DOPE. Drug dealers are predators who would start any of our children on dope just to assure themselves a market."

Well, thanks very much Captain Obvious! Or should be Sheriff Obvious?

Maybe your department might spend just a little less time on I-75 and Hwy 36 and more chasing actual criminals such as you describe above?

First we have people breaking into homes and they were caught elsewhere. Now we have "predator drug dealers" in operation and all we get are "press releases"?

Elections have consequences.

Man, I am so tired of seeing this. Hey Mr. Ignorant, how about you actually open your eyes to whats going on in Lamar instead of assuming that all Lamar County deputies are sitting on I-75 and 36. It is so disrespectful to the deputies to ASSume that they dont do their jobs. Every county has a specialized team like ICE or VIPER (which VIPER was created under Buice to do the same thing Waller's ICE team is doing now) that is devoted to traffic and drug interdiction.

How about you get out of your small little world and realize that these deputies work 12 hour shifts. So out of that 12 hours if they want to sit on Hwy 36 for 15-30 minutes who cares! Let them do their job. When you have only two-three deputies covering 184.8 square miles, stuff is going to happen no matter what they are doing.

It must be nice to be in such a small and insignificant state of mind.

I agree completely with the press release. To speculate on a cause would be wrong. Are we so desperate for news here that the HG (Walter) would be snarky about a the Sheriffs reticence with information regarding these deaths? Perhaps you should become acquaited with the term ongoing investigation. For that matter, how can the Sheriff release information that he does not have yet, such as complete autopsy reports. Its not like there is a serial killer on the loose, and normal law abiding Lamar County citizens have anything to fear. I dont think that the 40 something set need to sit at home in fear that they will be found dead in bed because the Sheriff did or did not reveal information about this death. I dont even think it takes a higher education to come to a likely conclusion as to the cause of death of these people. So unless you this is something you have a problem with, then I'm not sure why you are in such a hurry for this information that you (Walter) would ask for tips from readers? That is an invite for every crackpot and idiot to respond with rumors and false information. Almost anyone with information that is relevant and important to this investigation would realize that the people to call are at the LCSO, not the HG.

The HG quoted the Sheriff and coroner. That is what a unbiased well-educated news reporter does. There were drugs found at the first case, and the coroner thinks they are drug related. That's enough for people to worry about killing themselves from drugs. If this was a prominent local successful community leader the drug statements would have appeared on both local Internet newspapers. What is more important that nobody is mentioning is why one person died and the second was helped back to bed to die there and why the scene and evidence was not secured. Maybe the SO is now so much smarter than the CO they ruled it natural causes. After campaigning about botched investigations of the last Sheriff and lack of cooperation the present one ought to do a press release on that topic. Looks like he didn't cooperate with the coroner.

#8.1 anonymous on 10/27/09 at 09:50 AM

BUT, what we don't know is if what that said is what was written!!!

Wow...campaigning so early? It will do no good.

#10 wally on 10/27/09 at 08:22 AM

issues like this are what got waller voted out the last time when he pitched his little hissy fits that cost the county what little respect it had.folks be carefull what you wish for because you just might get it.
one day maybe this county will move into the 2000's with the rest of the world.

#10.1 Anonymous on 10/27/09 at 11:53 AM

Issues like this, like what...the ones you are making up. For crying out loud, do you not have anything better to do then to keep bringing up hissy fits that happen over four years ago. GET A LIFE!

#10.1.1 wacker T on 10/27/09 at 02:10 PM

as long as the people of lamar county have to live with a sheriff that pitched a crybaby pouty fit and made the whole county look like a backwoods bunch of silly hicks(and by the way ITS STILL TALKED ABOUT often)the people will remember the way it used to be and wonder just why half of the people of this county were so stupid to relect this guy.but then again when you look at it,over half the counrty was F'd up enough to elect the goofball they did for president

#11 Anonymous on 10/27/09 at 10:55 AM

shut up about the election. NEWSFLASH.....it is OVER. It ended in November, and wont be back around until 2012. Cry and whine then. Until then, SHUT UP about the election, I dont care if you voted for Waller or Buice, can it about both of them.

#12 Anonymous on 10/27/09 at 11:20 AM

It's good to see deputies making their own decisions like they were five years ago. Sheriff has to sleep sometime and what the hell does the coroner we had the last 30 years know about things like this anyway. Ignore him and cooperate with other counties instead.

You wish...

There is not a chance of anyone "shutting up" about the quality (..or lack of) of performance by this elected official.

Read that again.

There is NOT A CHANCE.

As the days and weeks of the term of Waller continue to pass, and his pathetic job performance continues, you can depend on comment to posted here about it.

#13.1 Anonymous on 10/28/09 at 08:27 AM

I am still waiting on an actual fact based account of why you say that he is failing? You're pulling stuff out of the air, twisting it and still have not made a point.
I have replied to you several times and my post have not been displayed, even though they were factual about past administrations. Maybe it was just a computer glitch or maybe because I was discussing a FORMER elected official...who knows...who cares. Election time is several years away. We all may be dead and gone by the.

#1.1 Sheila Tolley on 10/27/09 at 10:34 AM wants a Buice Family update.

I'm sorry Ms. Tolley. I am not acquainted with that fine Buice family.
In case you may be interested, I proudly submit this Buick Family info.

Old Roadmaster Buick is buried in Pike County at the Buick Park Avenue Cemetery located on the grounds of our Buick Grand National Estate.

LeSabre Buick and Invicta Buick are living in the Buick Century subdivison near Williamson. It's the high priced area off Hwy 362 that has a large flag stone entrance shaped like a big Buick hood ornament with flower pots reminiscent of those shiny 1950 Buick hubcaps.

Carmen Electra Buick is doing well since she divorced that big blonde headed black bi-sexual basketball bouncer, Biggis Rodman.
Cousin Skylark Buick wrote that she is an "exotic dancer" at the Reno Mustang Ranch. Skylark would be good at that job because she was never horizontally challenged during her many activites.

The newest members of our family, Lucerne Buick, LaCrosse Buick and Moses P. Buick were taken out of their Lamar County public schools and are being home schooled by our sweet spinster aunt, Miss Regal Buick.

I know you are spell bound by receiving this exciting Buick family info and there are trunk loads of old Buick history that I can share at another time. But, right now this Buick is late. I'll jump into my Buick convertible and speed on down to cousin Bud Moore Buick and meet Rendevous Buick.

Regards,
Joe Buick
aka: Big Ol' Buick

LOL BEST. COMMENT. EVER.

#14.2 Sheila Tolley on 10/28/09 at 09:12 AM

I am telling Ma that Joe Buick kidnapped my brother Cal and she will be real mad. My sweet brother Cal was made to write that note because Buick cannot spell. Buick sounds like someone throwing up after a hangover. You just gotta say it slow and open your mouth at the end try it....
NOW throw up. I am going to tell Ma you been drinking. That is actually why buicks have those little holes in the sides.......to eliminate the smell. Now, what did you do with my brother........you weasel. Moses is gone too so he will witness against you. He will say anything Cal tells him to say. They are tight. Kidnapper Joe....ask Cal did he fed Timey and Miss Alma.

The family should sue them for helping the lady with numb legs back into bed and for not posting someone there while they got that warrant Waller and team always huffed and chuffed at Buice about. We might have two less deaths and the evidence on hand. Lets see how they CYA about this mess. Maybe the coroner should run the SO and someone else should go back to Milner.

#16 Anonymous on 10/27/09 at 01:46 PM

Wow you sure do have a lot of information...or think you do anyway. Why do you think the deputies make their own decision? Oh never-mind, just because LW doesnt stand behind them while they piss to make sure they don't dribble on themselves makes you think that...lol...Oh and warrants...at least they KNOW that they have to have warrants.

#17 Anonymous on 10/27/09 at 04:19 PM

Looks like the coroner is the smart one in all of this. maybe he should run for Sheriff

#17.1 Linda Walker on 10/27/09 at 06:36 PM

Mr. Anon Y. Mous ..Please tell us you aren't going to run. Having Obama in office along with you or Buice would be more than any one person could take.

#17.1.1 Anonymous on 10/27/09 at 06:55 PM

Is that the best you can come up with to explain why the SO would allow people into a crime scene or put a lady to bed who dies a little bit later? It's because of Obama?

#17.1.1.1 Linda Walker on 10/28/09 at 08:27 AM

Mr. Anon Y. Mouse -- "is that the best I can come up with?" No, the best is, were you there? Do you know if any of this garbage you people are spouting is true?" I would assume no to both. Fact is, this garbage just gives you and some others a reason to paint an ugly picture.

#17.1.1.1.1 Linda Gotohell on 10/28/09 at 09:13 AM

"Mr. Anon Y Mous" was just as lame the first time you did it as it was this second time you used it. Is that the best you can come up with?

#17.1.1.1.1.1 Linda Walker on 10/28/09 at 01:09 PM

Thanks Linda "Gotohell". Your reservation is confirmed.

#17.1.1.2 Sheila Tolley on 10/28/09 at 09:00 AM

Get a name and get off Linda Walker! She is my email pen pal. Anonymous names are like "Dry Paint" signs: Serve no purpose and not worth worrying about.

maybe someone needs to talk to john, him and the emts was the one that was there... right...

#19 Anonymous on 10/28/09 at 01:30 AM

think about it people. the emts were dealing with a cardiac arrest. they didn't help anyone back into bed. someone got their story mixed up before they spoke. use a little common sense people. ask someone who was there. you can learn alot and not spread rumors that hurt the innocent. she was asked of she wanted help and she refused. her fault, deal with it.

#19.1 Anonymous on 10/28/09 at 08:20 AM

Since you seem to know so much, did they secure the scene or watch the scene to prevent hiding the dope or did they let it vanish?

#19.1.1 Anonymous on 10/28/09 at 09:11 AM

It wasnt a crime scene. Thats the point. The initial call the woman was in cardiac arrest and was still alive when she left the house (according to press releases). If police/EMT were to treat every medical emergency call as a crime scene you'd have to hire 30+ more officers/EMTs just to handle the call volume. It didnt turn into a crime scene until the second person was found dead at the house.

#19.1.1.1 Anonymous on 10/28/09 at 06:16 PM

So you are saying after the second woman dies it turned into a crime scene, and that is when the coroner saw the dope and jar of magical water? Did they secure it then?

#19.1.1.1.1 Anonymous on 10/29/09 at 08:36 AM

I guess the silence answers the question.

#19.2 chris on 10/29/09 at 10:01 AM

if she denied medical treatment i want to see the form you have to sign in order to do so.and if you were really there at the time i would like to speak to you!

#19.2.1 Anonymous on 11/02/09 at 02:36 PM

If there was only one patient (the one that was in cardiac arrest) why would anyone else have to sign anything. If you were as smart as you think you are, you would understand the laws concerning medical scenes. One patient. That's all there was. Everyone else said they were fine. I guess she lied. Because of that, she died. Get over it. Her fault.

#19.2.1.1 chris on 11/04/09 at 08:50 AM

how unsensitive can u possilbly be? the emts said she refused treatment. and by law THERE IS A FORM U HAVE TO SIGN DENYING TREATMENT. THEY ASSUMED DRUGS AND DIDNT CARE. ALOT LIKE THESE OTHER 2 BIT TOWNS! SHE WAS A MOTHER A SISTER AND WAS TRULY THE BESTEST FRIEND YOU COULD EVER ASK FOR. SHE WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE SHIRT OFF HER BACK IF YOU NEEDED IT. SO GET A LIFE AND STOP TALKING BAD ABOUT PPL YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT! HAVE SOME COMPASSION FOR HER KIDS!WHO STILL LIVE IN THAT GOD FORSAKEN TOWN!

#20 Anonymous on 10/28/09 at 06:06 PM

I would like to know what the NTF is doing for Barnesville/Lamar County??? Sounds like to me that these people are getting paid for nothing. Maybe they should spend some time in this area and get the streets cleaned up....starting with the obvious drug dealing on mill street.

#21 rtvols on 10/29/09 at 09:46 AM

where is Howard road.
