According to the post by BHG & CBS Atlanta the woman who actually claimed the reward was Sherry Hayes not Deborah Flynt Pippin. So which is correct because I'm unsure how the co-defendant in this case could possibly ever claim the reward.

Does it really matter? She is dead.

#1.1.1 Family Friend on 01/24/11 at 12:46 PM

Please let's not be rude here. She has a family that are distraught. She may have had some issues, but she was still a human with a fabulous family. She went astray and needed help!!

Same Kevin Pippin arrested 12/28 for aggravated battery, obstructing or hindering a 911 call, false imprisonment, two counts family violence battery, two counts terroristic threats and acts and aggravated assault?

#2.1 pool on 01/23/11 at 08:55 PM

yep, sounds a little fishy to me

#3 Valerie Hill on 01/23/11 at 10:34 PM

Before this community starts coming to crazy conclusions about what happened, trust me, you don't have all the facts.

#3.1 Anonymous on 01/24/11 at 04:05 PM

Thank you Valerie and Family Friend for your support. As a member of the family I can say that most people who comment here don't know anywhere near all the facts. But it is a free country and people are allowed to express their opinions...no matter how uneducated and rude they may be.
To anonymous #6---we have established that he was in jail. Are you insinuating that just because he was in jail that he still had something to do with her death? Like I have already said...most commenting here don't know the facts involved. The autopsy should clear all of that up. Maybe until then people should refrain from casting stones. But...people will be people and talk about things they don't know anything about. It's sad really...that people get such enjoyment making rude comments on the troubles of others. Just remember....those who choose to be rude/derogatory/smug at the troubles of others....it could be your name or family member's name in the paper one day, no one is above it. And how will you feel at that time when others leave ugly comments directed at you or your loved ones?

I am the daughter of the 4th person who died from "unexplained" causes in October of 2009, and would LOVE to speak with someone who knows about this case. And believe me, I know all about people jumping to conclusions:(

I don't think any one is insinuating or jumping to conclusions on anything.

I do believe if this were my family member that was found dead I wouldn't want any one cleared or even assumed cleared until the autopsy & investigation were complete.

Are his parents still on that cruise?

What does that matter?

Uhmm no... I just think it means he was in jail.

lets see how quick the good ol boys cover this one up.

Is she the one that Kevin assualted??

#8.1 someone on 01/26/11 at 08:33 AM

Yes, she is the one that Kevin beat the crap out of. No the parents are no longer on a cruise, the mother in law is the one who "found" her deceased on the floor. Her body is at the crime lab. Something sounds very odd with the whole situation.

#8.1.1 Debbie's Sister on 01/26/11 at 03:49 PM

No one knows the story!! Its like anything the Pippins do it gets covered up. Her immediate family will not be told of the exact happenings and is not allowed to have anything to do with a memorial for her. She has a son that needs closure and how can he get this?? Everything is a hush hush secret! Hmmm? We are horrified and cannot believe we will never see her again. And Kevin her so called husband should stay locked up for the beatings he did to our sister. No man should put his hands on any woman for any reason!! So I guess we are suppose to turn our heads and think nothing has happened to our sister???

#8.1.1.1 Just saying on 01/28/11 at 05:28 PM

My sympathy goes out to the loved ones. Just remember anyone can have a memorial service. All you need is a location, could even be a park. Please give the son some closure as best you can.

#8.1.2 Anonymous on 01/26/11 at 04:08 PM

How do you know it was the mother in law who found her? That is not even mentioned here.

#8.1.2.1 anon on 01/26/11 at 06:14 PM

Buy a copy of the Herald Gazette and check out page 3A. It states in the paper, her mother-in-law Geraldine Pippin found her inside the residence at 410 Forsyth-Yatesville. You need to read the full story in the paper.

#9 anon on 01/26/11 at 07:34 PM

Does this mean there is no case against Kevin Pippin, being the victim is deceased?

#10 Anonymous on 01/26/11 at 08:39 PM

If she died due to a delayed reaction to the beating Kevin could still be on the hook. Bleeding in the brain can be a slow killer.

#11 the truth on 01/27/11 at 07:05 AM

people this is lamar county!!!Rember Donna Johnson--Ann Morgan?its all in who you know.

Man, You have some mean people in Lamar County!
I was gonna come down and eat some catfish at country kitchen, but them catfish may eat me!

I wish you could eat at Country Kitchen, it closed back in December.

#13.2 Anonymous on 01/28/11 at 01:40 PM

Well Bubba---I doubt that Lamar County has the corner on "Mean people"...they are every where. And....Country Kitchen is no longer open so you will have to get your catfish elsewhere.

I guess you could say Deborah
*puts sunglasses*
Barked up the wrong tree.

Lol.

#14.1 friend of debbies on 01/30/11 at 08:11 PM

TO Anonymous #14-- seriously you come on here when someone has lost their life and you make rude comments of she must have barked up the wrong tree and then you state LOL? Let's reverse this and put the shoe on your foot. What if that was your sister, or Mother, friend or cousin . Would you want someone making the same comments about them? I don't think so. You obviously didnt know Debbie , for that fact many of those who have posted something on here probably didn't. You anonymous 14 just like drama. Debbie may have had some issues but she was a warm, loving person. She loved her family and her friends. For those who want to keep everything closed off from her biological family you are so very wrong for this. They deserve to be a part of her memorial as much as you do. Her siblings and her son have that wright. I hope you can live with yourself for not allowing this to happen. Rest in peace Debbie... God knows the hell you went thru here on earth..... love you and we will miss you

#15 Bubba on 01/29/11 at 01:26 AM

I guess I will settle for some prime rib at Past Times, I bet you have the men in black and that sheriff hang out around that place. I like that atmoshere and they have a pretty lady that wears glasses that is a waitress, I think her mama owns that place. Yep, she gives me extra fries and tells calls me "honey".

#16 Debbies Sis on 01/30/11 at 02:01 AM

Honestly some of you people do not make any sense and are rude. And no she didn't bark up the wrong tree. Her unexpected death will not be forgotten and pushed under the paper work. This matter will go beyond Lamar County to find out just what happened because the stories of the mom in law doesn't not match up. This seems like one crooked little town that our sister had decided to make a home. And from alot of the people that do make comments on here..they feel the same way. We will find out what happened.

#16.1 Anonymous on 01/31/11 at 06:47 AM

i so hope you do because certian people have been getting away with all kinds of stuff in lamar county for a long long time.like someone posted earlier remember Donna Johnson and Ann morgan!!!

#17 curious on 01/31/11 at 04:58 PM

Anyone heard anything else? Does the crime lab have any results yet?

#18 Family friend. on 02/01/11 at 12:07 AM

To #16 & 17.. Undoubtly it is a secret they will not say anything.. says it will take up to 3 to 6 months to find out anything. And we did read the posts on Donna and Ann. Just how much does this town rake under the covers? Ga does have a new Gov. now so we shall see how this goes. Start at the top and roll it on down. Thanks to Friend of Debbies.. Her family should not be shut out ..especially her son.

#18.1 Anonymous on 02/02/11 at 11:43 AM

sad to say ,but this too will be hushed up.as long as the mindless voters of this county remain to scared to stand on their own feet,have the guts to vote out the good ol boys,this county will remain in the dark ages with the same folks pulling the strings of everyday life in lamar county.

#19 Pamela on 02/11/11 at 03:38 PM

I just have to say that I am saddened at the loss of Debbies life. She was truely a special person that had lost her way.... I wish her peace in the road to come for her, and sympathy to the family and friends that have lost her.... Regardless of why....

#20 Debbie's sis on 02/13/11 at 11:03 PM

You would think that all that has happened at this house that Kevin is the main that is suffering?? Come on!! Why should our family care how he feels after getting all the calls from Debbie of what he had done to her. If ya'll only knew!! Still no word on the autopsy!! Its amazing how long this takes!! Debbies death will not be forgotten and we would love to say thank you to the Pippins family for keeping us away from any kind of closure on our sister. Especially her son! For you wanting to handle everything.. and we have no say so.. why hasn't her CREMATION not been taken care of yet. She always said she was ever into getting cremated..Hmmm??

#20.1 Anonymous on 02/14/11 at 11:48 AM

Dont let it die! dont let the good ol boys get away with it any longer!!! Debbie's sis you keep at it.dont ever stop!!!!hound them all the way to HELL!!!they cant cover this one up

#20.2 NOT Shelia Tolley on 02/14/11 at 12:12 PM

I hope they do not allow her body to be cremated since she was involved as a main witness in a criminal case. It would be a shame.

#21 S. Rogers, East Tennessee on 02/19/11 at 08:17 AM

Prior to 2001 when I left Lamar County forever, I left with nothing but the utmost respect for our then-tax commissioner, Geraldine Pippin. When I learned of last year's incident involving the police k9 dog that'd been killed, I called Geraldine and offered my sincerest condolences regarding the situation that she and her family were involved in. To now learn of even more drama unfolding in her family, it makes my heart break for her, her family, and what they are going through. I don't know any of the details surrounding any of the incidences, so I therefore will not pass judgment on either side - From an outsider looking in, I see nothing but a sad situation all the way around, and my heart breaks not only for Geraldine, but also for the family of the deceased lady.

We all are guilty of viewing certain political figures whom we like with jaded glasses - seeing only the good that lies within them. When, the truth is that nobody on either side really knows how that person is within the confines of their own home, how they act toward their loved ones, or anything else about them for that matter.

However, I do find it more productive to talk about these certain individuals while I'm on my knees in prayer, as opposed to pretending as though I know all of the details, and proceed to act as judge, jury, and executioner on a public forum. This form of conversation with my Lord doesn't just benefit me, nor limited to just me - it would serve us all well, and our country a world of good if more folks did the same thing.

I loved your response until I got to the last paragraph.

You better keep an eye on that pride before it gets out of hand.

#22 Debs sis on 02/22/11 at 09:45 PM

How is this.. this paper seems to print what it wants. Its oh the pity of Geraldine and her family. Extremely crooked deal.. Debbie's family is left out here with no information at all still. So come on..

#23 Debbies sister on 03/06/11 at 03:45 PM

Today our sister would have been 41 years old. I so hope that her husband that beat the living crap out of her took time today and thought of her. We know she is in a better place than what she was in. We love you DEBBIE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WE MISS YOU!

#23.1 Debbies true love on 03/25/11 at 02:51 PM

You have a lot of nerve talking about how you loved your sister Pam. You and Mike and Teresa had nothing to do with Debbie. She tried to make amends with you and come live with you, but you shut her out of your lifes. You people make me sick. I know you were all beaten and molested by your father. I am sorry for that, nobody deserves that to happen in their lifes. But i want you to know that Debbie hated and had no respect for any of you. The only thing she loved and cared about were her son and me. I am sorry for your loss but know she is in a better place. P.S. Pam take your bipolar medicine, maybe Debbie would still be alive if she did not have such a horrible family.

#23.1.1 Her sis on 03/30/11 at 08:39 AM

Kevin or ur mom whoever decided to comment.. get your story straight. You know nothing of us and Bi-polar. You make me laugh. Who's the one running around beating the hell out of my sis..constantly putting her in the hospital?? Who has been the one in & out of rehab?? Who is the one that tried to beat the crap out of her son..should I go on? She was scared of you & wouldn't leave because she thought you would hunt her down & kill her. I've got the text messages saved. Who do you think she called to vent when all the crap happened. You will burn in hell for the crap you have done to my sis and when I spoke to my sis before she died..yes (if she hated me sooo much) why would she call. check her phones hun..your mom has them!!

#23.1.1.1 family observer on 03/30/11 at 09:30 PM

Lets get the facts straight Pam. Kevin and Debbie both had a lot of problems. I know for a fact that they loved one another no matter what you and your messed up family say. Did Debbie tell you all the times she stole, lied, abused drugs and alchol and slapped her son in the face. Kevin never laid a hand on her son. Get your facts straight before you start running off at the mouth. I guess you forgot about the time Kevin and his sister performed CPR on her when she overdosed on alchol on feb 2010. What about the 4 to 5 months she spent in rehab and Kevin taking her to AA. And yes hun your sister did hate you. You will be the one who burns in hell for shutting your sister out of your life when she needed help. You are one of the biggest DRAMA QUEENS i have ever heard in my life.

#23.1.1.1.1 Debs sis on 03/30/11 at 11:03 PM

Not a drama queen..I will not sit here and let you tell me what our family did to her..You don't know us..You just listened to the pity she put out to keep your attention. We all tried to help her..and she threw it all away when she met up with him. How in the world do you see them loving each other when he would put her in the hospital?? And for duct taping her wrists together so he could beat the s**t out of her..gauging her eyes with his fingers..(why do you think he stayed in jail that long this past time?) if I was so hated..how would I know these things? And yes her son & she said that Kevin chased him into the closet trying to get at him because he snapped. All of this is petty now and I will not waste my time or stress on what you people think. We know the truth

#23.1.1.1.2 Friend of Debbie's Family on 03/31/11 at 12:37 PM

Family Observer, thank you for pointing out a lot more of the crap Debbie did the short time she was with the Pippins. You really helped paint a much clearer picture of why the family came to the point of where they had enough of Debbie's BS. I don't think a drug using, alcohol abusing woman who wouldn't/couldn't hold down a job is good example or someone you want around your children much less in your house alone when you are at work. As screwed up as Debbie was, does not mean that her family (blood family) did not love her any less. There is a thing called tough love. I personally know that her two sisters and brother all cared for her, but could not continue financing nor supporting her when she wasn't trying to get better. There is no doubt in any of our minds that the only reason she entered rehab was for a place to stay. Any mother that uses her son as a means to guilt someone into giving her a place to stay is a screwed up mom. Both Debbie's sisters offered to take her son, but Debbie wouldn't do that unless she got to come live with them too. She was a user. The circumstances around her death are still unknown to her biological family. All they have been told is things didn't look right. I guess that means possible foul play. I guess only time will tell.

#23.1.2 Debbie's Sister-In-Law on 03/30/11 at 08:45 AM

First off, don't say anything about Mike. You have never seen nor spoken to him. Mike and his sisters did what they could to help Debbie. She did NOT love you, she was scared to death of you. Just days prior to her death, she was talking to her family about getting away. She was tired of the beatings she suffered at your hands, and tired of the death threats. We all know that Debbie had some issues, including past addictions, and if you truly loved her, you would of tried to save her from that. I do agree on one thing, and that would be that she is in a better place. Any place that doesn't include you, or your family, has got to be better. I take comfort in the fact that her son will never have to see what you had done to his mother.

#23.1.3 Friend of Debbie's Family on 03/30/11 at 12:14 PM

Debbies true love, LMAO. Dude you were nothing but a place to stay. You knew Debbie maybe 2 of her nearly 40 years on this earth. From what I know of the family Debbie did in fact live with her brother for a time while she was getting on her feet. Then she lived with her youngest sister on multiple occasions while she "got on her feet", and also lived with her oldest sister while she "got on her feet". Looks like she finally found a place to stay as long as she was "off her feet". Didn't you in fact meet Debbie while she was in rehab? Debbie's family all loved her and did what they could for her on multiple occasions. The sad hard truth is Debbie didn't want help. She wanted to abuse substances and sit on her butt. Each of Debbie's sisters have young kids as well as her brother. Do you think any of them would risk something happening to their children by allowing Debbie and all her mess to come stay with them again? Especially after she married a man from rehab that beat her and attacked her son? Honestly, you think you can talk down on her brother and sisters and pretend they cared nothing for their sister. The sad reality is that Debbie put herself in the place. No one is to blame but herself. She had plenty of opportunities to make something of herself but she chose not to.

Domestic violence calls are one of the most dangerous call a law enforcement officer can answer because of the emotion involved.

Domestic Violence is a serious offense and I hope judges and prosecutors stop taking it so lightly.

It5 doesn't matter how drug addicted or crazy someone is, no one has a right to lay a hand on them unless it is for self defense.

I hope this man pays for the crimes he has committed against this woman.
