Amanda Thacker - Missing

Onalaska Texas December 8th 2015

Foul Play Is Suspected. Lets find and bring Amanda home.

In The Minds Of Killers

Doing time like I did in my past. It brought me close to some of the most sick killers and criminals out there. I played chess and dominoes with these guys, ate with them, and learned some things about them. 

What I know doesnt come form a book or any kind of mystery novel. It comes from living it. 

As morbid as this sounds, death fascinates me and the minds of killers do as well. Talking with them, writing them, I can connect with them because I was there where they are at.  I know how to talk the talk and walk the walk. They dont scare me. Why? Because I am not on the menu. I am a "neutral " zone for them. I dont judge them and they know that. Communicating with them is tricky because they are very moody. But deep down they have a conscience that wants to do the right thing. That evil part however is their boss though. That evil part is where they are in denial. They wont talk to the cops generally. But, catch them at their "human" moment and they will tell you about themselves or the story behind the crime for which they have committed. 

The first killer I ever associated with was Henry Lee Lucas. I was doing time in TDC and at the Walls unit in Huntsville and ran into him in the library. I was like 18 or 19 years old and he looked at me like I was on the lunch menu. I had a brief talk with him about why he was in there. He actually believed what he did was not wrong but it seemed like he was more sorry about being caught. He wanted to continue his hunting boys but he knew he couldn't anymore. Standing at the counter he was standing next to me. When I was about to leave he slapped me on the ass and I turned and hit him in the head with a hardcover book. He kinda got the hint that I was not on the menu. 

I met Jimmy Lee Smith when I had to do six months in Los Angeles County Jail. He was one of the Onion Field Killers accused of killing a cop. He was in there on a parole violation. He told me the cops came to his place and found cocaine in his medicine cabinet. He insisted it was a setup. But when I asked him about the cop killing he was still in denial and basically said he had to do what had to be done.  But he labeled his partner as the trigger man.

Johnny Holmes the porn star. I met him first in the visiting room at the LA County jail. he was a cool guy. We talked briefly a few times about Texas and all that and the fact he was legally married to several women and not to say anything. We could only talk briefly because he was housed in the "High Power" unit of the jail. (High Profile Cases) But I worked in the visiting room and would talk to the girls that came to visit him.  He told me the cops had him in there because he wouldnt talk about the Wonderland Murders. He told me he was there but he was too stoned to remember exactly what happened.  He did say that there was a lot of blood and it freaked him out. He was a very cordial and respectful guy and liked to talk. He was in a cell by himself so he appreciated conversation. He took his secret to the grave after he died from AIDS. But from what little he was able to tell me, I knew he was involved in those murders but still in denial, He knew they would never convict him for it.

Peggy Jean Keener: PJ was a pretty socialite that I dated a few times that lived in Friendswood Texas. Very intelligent and very lonely. Her and I met online on an adult BBS called Playline Magazine. She went by the nickname "The Black Widow" so that sparked my interest believe it or not.

One day, one of her friends called me. I think she was jealous. But she told me to talk to PJ and ask her exactly how she broke up with her last boyfriend. So I called PJ and asked her, she began to cry and asked me to come over. Over coffee she told me how her ex would beat her up and force sex on her. That he was cheating on her with a stripper. So she said she told her neighbor that she wanted to borrow their gun for a Possum or Raccoon she wanted to kill that was in the house. She then told me she waited fro him to come over. He said that he began the same routine so she shot him in the head, chest and nuts. Then she drug his body into the back yard and buried him under a compost pile. After she told me that I told her, "PJ maybe its best we just be friends".  She told me she was out on bond.  One of her so called friends told the DA that she had been dating me. They sent an investigator to my place who took me to the DA. When questioned I absolutely refused to testify against her. When she told me the judge would hold me in contempt, I told them I needed a vacation anyway, go for it. It was then when the DA said "I wish I had Friends like you". I never was called to testify and PJ got 25 years for that.

Ana Trujillo (Ana Fox)  Known as the Stiletto killer her and I were very close. When I knew her about two years before she killed her boyfriend with a shoe, she was a beauty. But drinking and doing "cush" made her old real fast. Her and I were intimate, deep conversations about voodoo and the occult, about spirits and ghosts. Her and I spent a lot of time together. I was a neutral zone for her as well. She knew she was safe with me and I wasn't scared of her.  She was smart, very smart, but when she drank she was mean. She would come downstairs in one of her moods and I would chill her out, get her smiling again. She knew she could relax around me. Her and I gave massages to each other. I would draw her a hot bath, light candles and well things got interesting. But the point I am trying to make is that she and PJ had never shown any aggression towards me because they knew that I cared. That I did not judge them. They were in their "safe zone" with me.

Writing and talking to killers have led me to this. Inside every single one of us is a potential killer. It is true. Anyone can be driven to kill. Whether out of anger, hate or even love. Of course psychological issues play a big part. But I have discovered over the years of knowing the ones I know that there is a conscience there. Deep down they know what they did was wrong but the evil part sometimes over rules the human part. Then they are drawn to killing. Any one of us has the potential or the abilities to be a murderer or serial killer. Serial killers want to be caught. That is the tiny bit of "human" wanting that which is inside them. When they are caught they need to be locked up, they need to be out of society because more in likely they will do it again and again. 

In closing I just want to say I learned alot from these people I've had in my life. That is why I am good at what I do.  I can communicate with them, get them to let their guard down and tell me their story. Serial killers HATE women. The only time they want a female pen pal is to get them to send money. It s a little game they have. 

Thanks for your time

Jim

Found The Letter

Ok dig this. Going through the letters of Stallings, Bell, and Lavergne I found the copy of the handwritten letter I wrote Reece back on December 15th of last year.  I believe this was copied because it was the first letter I wrote Reece.

Here's what it said:

12-15-15

William,

I hope my letter finds you well. You dont know me but I have been writing several guys who claimed to have killed some girls. Look bro, I'm not a cop, as a matter of fact I've done time a few times. I dont work for cops and not a PI, just a regular schmuck trying to help the families get some closure.

William, I dont care how or why you did it, that really doesn't matter to me. What if this was your kid bro?

I dont mean any disrespect but you need to man up, none of this punk shit. You know bro that you aint getting out and so be a man and let the families have some closure. As an excon, I wanna show these idiots that not all of us are low lifes.

Take Care, and hopefully I'll hear from you soon.

JC

PS. Mark Stallings wrote me and told me about his deal with some girls too.

This is the letter word for word. A month later he is in Galveston County custody confessing. Just like Stallings, I think he trying to clear his conscience.

It certainly wasn't law enforcement, how many years did they have this case?  19 years?  

Thanks to everyone who has supported me and emailed me. This includes emails from friends and family members of victims. 

I shared the letters with law enforcement without even getting a thanks or kiss my grits. You can rest assure that wont happen again without a backup plan. I am currently writing a couple more guys who are suspect in a  couple missing girls. This will be kept to myself and revealed to a member of the press first.  The families of the victims can thank LEOS for that.

A Coincidence?

Police will never admit it, but don't you find it a coincidence that after I wrote William Reece back on December 15th to man up suddenly he has a change of heart. DO you find it a coincidence that Mark Stallings confessed on camera to the murder of Jane Doe in the fields? Stallings also admitted in a previous letter to killing April Eaves and Benna Bowen that cops ignore. 

Of course the LEOS are gonna take all the credit for fine police work that took 19 friggin years...really? Who is stupid enough to believe that it was police work? If you do, I have some ocean front property to sell you in Arizona. 

I told Reece in a letter back on December 15th to "man up", to quit being a punk and let the families have closure.  Same thing I did with Stallings and the same I've done with a couple others. Makes me want to give up on all this shit when law enforcement and media plays their little games. Those that know what I have been doing the last two and a half years are high fiving me which is ok. But no credit should be given to any law enforcement agency for these cases being closed. What took them 19 years, only took me a matter of a few months. Imagine that.....Will there be more? I havent decided yet. Media wants to interview a writer who makes money selling books who had know idea that serial killers dont like women! But she wants to sell books so go figure. I hope that what I did played some part into getting into Recce's head and convince him and Stallings to do the right thing. Law enforcement and media wont put that out there though.

I may take down this blog and forget all this stuff. Not so much as a thank from anyone really. And a note to the members of the media...you're kissing up to the wrong ones.
BTW, I am writing a couple more guys, rest assure that any information I get will NOT be revealed. Family members can thank law enforcement for that...LOL

Jessica Cain - RIP

Police have confirmed the bones found were that of Jessica. I pray the family can now have some sort of closure. Here is a link to the story.

Jessica Cain's Body Confirmed

Now lets see what kind of "deal" they made with William Reece.

Printer Ink Donations?

If anyone wants to donate printer ink it would very much be appreciated. I have an HP Office Jet 6100.

Let me know if you can help. My email is researchtexas@comcast.net

According to news sources the remains found in Brazoria County are indeed the remains of Kelli Cox, the girl missing from Denton, Texas. William Reece lead investigators to the remains. Tee remains found earlier have still not been officially identified yet but they are believed to be the remains of Jessica Cain. RIP Kelli....

Another Reporter

I talked to another reporter today on the phone about Mark Stallings and the two girls found dead in Fort Bend County. Mark Stallings claimed to have killed them and the Janet Doe in League City. 

Former Sheriff and Texas Ranger Milton Wright even was quoted in the paper that Stallings knew too many details not to have been there. 

I see all the attention being given to the good girls like Jessica Cain and Kelli Cox. But just because April and Benna and Janet Doe chose a different lifestyle, doesn't mean they are less important.  They are still someone's sister and someone's daughter. But law enforcement treats them like misdemeanors, like they are disposable girls. To me that is not right. 

You see it happening everyday, girls getting murdered or abducted. Sure the news may say a known girl who was a hooker or drug addict was found dead, but you NEVER hear about how they are pursuing the case. I think you can figure out why.

I talked to a mother of one of the victims of Stallings, she confirmed that the DA in Fort Bend county talked to her years ago and he told her since Stallings was in for life there is no need to pursue a trial. Really????

I urge everyone who reads this blog, if you have any degree of intelligence or compassion, to push this issue with local media, email the Fort Bend County DA to treat these girls as human beings.  YOU NEED TO GET INVOLVED!!!

This is very difficult to do this by myself. Alot of people read my blog then go back to their own little lives and stop caring. 

Law enforcement today want the case practically handed to them. Not many of them actually do what a good detective is supposed to do. Most importantly these arrogant District Attorney's have their "discretion" to prosecute a case. They take into consideration the cost of a trial which in April and Benna's case would cost money. In the words of an FBI agent looking into the case, ......"these girls were prostitutes......thats just the way it is". 

One of them was just 19 years old...would you like it if they thought that way about your kid if she wasnt popular like these other good girls? Wake you asses up people. Instead of driving by an accident to look at it...DO SOMETHING TO HELP! 

I made this a while back for the victims. The crosses you see are where the found the bodies of Laura Miller, Heidi Fye, Jane and Janet Doe. 
The others pictured in the video are victims as well. I am not a professional editor or anything but I wanted to put this together for the girls. 

Jim

I went out there about a year ago and filmed this. You can sense the evil here. There are spirits here, you can feel them. And I honestly believe that there are more victims there as well. One day, law enforcement will take me serious, they will quit trying to be heros and take a hard look at this place again. 

What I find sad, is that there are girls that came from broken homes, that turned to drugs and prostitution. Does that make them less important? Not to me it doesnt. These girls deserve the same justice as those with good families. Why does law enforcement treat these girls murders as misdemeanor murders? I didnt know that the saying "to protect and serve" only meant for those with money.

Something Interesting To Note

Interesting huh?

People Seeking Credit

I noticed seeing a lot of experts and "writers" on TV about how these serial killers are. Pleasssssse. They are getting free publicity for their book, they are making money. A few are claiming to know them etc...blah blah blah. Surely the media and public aren't fooled by this.

I like the way Ms. Casey is saying she knows more than me because she wrote a book. I got news for you, I did time with these people. They hate women! LOL. 

I'd like to ask these "experts".  How much time did you do in prison with these guys? Do you actually think they would tell you the truth. Stallings mentions Casey in a couple of his letters and he cant stand her. He told me she got his statements all wrong and twisted his words around to make it look more dramatic. LOL

I am not doing this for money unlike these "experts" who are plugging their books.

Please people, don't fall for this. 

I don't have a college degree in writing or anything. All I can tell is that I know about psycho killers, not just from doing time with them, but I dated two women who murdered their boyfriends. 

Just wanted to add this little update for you all.
