Both WKYT and the Associated Press (AP) are reporting that officials investigating the September death of census worker Bill Sparkman now say that foul play is unlikely.
From the AP, "There were no defensive wounds on Sparkman's body, and while his hands were bound with duct-tape, they were still somewhat mobile, suggesting he could have manipulated the rope, the officials said."
Jerry Weaver, the Fairfield, OH man who found the body, disagrees. Mr. Weaver said that "There's no doubt." that Mr. Sparkman was murdered.
This new tack does corroborate earlier reports that Sparkman was found hanged, yet still in contact with the ground.
The yet unexplained death has fueled heated argument across the political and social spectrum. Allegations have ranged from charges of anti-government inflammation, targeted at the hyper conservative "Tea-Party" component of the Republican party, to notions that he accidentally discovered an illegal drug operation.
Homicide or not, Sparkman's death and recent events at Ft. Hood, Orlando, and closer to home in Campbellsville, KY are alarming evidence of the ongoing tensions of extensive years of war and the still struggling economy.
Nothing adds up right. Even if he did kill himself, why wear a "fed" sign? To out himself assome CIA agent type? And if so, see, we're still not getting the full story. Maybe it's just another autoerotic asphyxiator.

ReplyDeletenow I'm waiting on the apologies for depicting southeast kentucky as a land of anti-government, racist, birther savages. I'm not holding my breath though.
