Jack McCullough 
Written by a man who wasn’t privy to the actual case, and who thought he could make a quick buck by hacking out a book about the case. The Ridulph’s never gave their blessing for this piece of shit, and Doty never interviewed anyone from the trial, nor did he interview any members of my family, or the cops. Garbage. But, Casey likes it because it favors Jack.
In the aftermath of how things have fallen out, I will say that I contacted the Ridulph family at the very beginning of my research and was told they were working with Charles Lochman and would not consent to be interviewed. I heard through conversations with other journalists that members of the Tessier family were either unwilling to speak with Journalists, committed to working only with Lochman, or asking for a fee to be interviewed. I don’t pay for interviews as that makes the person interviewed feel obligated to tell me what they think I wish to hear. I asked all the prosecutors for interviews, Victor Escarcida granted one and through him I attempted to arrange for interviews with Julie Trevarthen and Clay Campbell, but they kept backing out at the last minute. I interviewed Mike and Kathy Chapman, Thomas McCulloch, Crystal Harrolle, Jack McCullough, and members of his family–though not all of them would consent to be interviewed on record.
Not one of the people I interviewed convinced of Jack’s innocence. Not one.
It was the FBI Reports from their investigation in 1957-1958 that provided huge problems with the Prosecution’s case. Problems which Victor could not address, and had no real answers for. We now have information that points to serious misconduct in the investigation and prosecution of your brother. I know there is no love-loss between
I spent just over two years in the investigation and writing of Piggyback. Is that anyone’s definition of a quick buck?
Am I a hack? I have been published in magazines and other forums whose editors have earned and are worthy of the tremendous respect they receive in the industry. I teach writing and am praised and respected by my students.
My work speaks for itself and I am driven by curiosity to find real answers and integrity to write the truth of what I find, even when I don’t like it. That was true in this case. I wanted to write a simple history about the oldest cold case in American History ever to be tried in court. I expected to make very little from it, financially, but expected to have the satisfaction of recording a historical event of minor magnitude. That this project went beyond that was both unexpected and unwanted.
I knew I would take flak for the truths I wrote, but that is the price writers pay for following their craft. I accept that, as I accept all criticism. I weigh the value of any complaint or accusation, and keep anything worthy while discarding the rest.
My heart goes out to the Ridulph, Tessier, and McCullough families. They all have endured more misery than anyone should be forced to endure. That is the nature of tragedy. I did not intend to add to it. However, I am obligated to tell the truth as I find it, not as the Ridulphs or Tessiers want it to be. The truth is simply that Jack did not kidnap and kill Maria. That’s all I have to say.
Wrong. I spoke with the prosecutors. Doty never interviewed them. Nice try Janey or Casey. Doty wasn’t at the trial, and he is a hack writer looking to make a quick buck. That’s all. Both of you can fuck off with your stupidity.
Oh, my…He interviewed one person. Well, how about that. Of course, he never interviewed the Ridulphs, any of my family, the law enforcement people involved, nor any of the witnesses. He’s still an amateur hack writer, and certainly nowhere near the caliber of Charles Lachmann. While your here, Casey—How come you have no replies to any other questions I’ve posited on the other threads? Is it because you are beginning to realize what an idiot you are?
The anonymous reply sounds a lot like your lovely cheating girlfriend, Janey. Are you two back together, or is she still fucking someone else?
You’re such a chickenshit, Casey. You and Jack are well matched. He changes his story when confronted with facts, and you run and hide.
Oh, you must be Casey’s kid again. Sorry. I don’t argue with kids. Learn how to spell better than your father.
Casey, you’re even more of a chickenshit than even I believed. Either it’s your kid standing in for you, or it’s you pretending to be someone else. What a crock. The anonymous replies are so awful grammatically and spelling-wise that I tend to think it’s you, but it could be your kid. You’re a chickenshit. You and Jack, both.
I’m very well-spoken. I proved that in every interview. Janey proved she’s a lying, cheating, dishonest, narcissistic little twat. How’s that for well-spoken.
Oh, it’s Janey. Yeah. I really care what a cheating little slut who slept with her stepfather thinks about me.
I just love how you like to refer to my language as “crude and vulgar”, Janey, but you fuck around on your alleged husband, and hide the fact that you stepfather had sex with you, and you remain his willing slave. Yeah. I’m crude and vulgar. Sure.
Casey still hasn’t contradicted anything I’ve said. Chickenshit. Janey and Jack sure have you in bondage, don’t they?
Nice try, Janey. Sorry. Lies don’t contradict the truth that you fucked around on Casey, and you fucked your stepfather, the child killer. I win. You lose.
How come your mom won’t speak to you, Janey? Hmmm? What about Amy? Nobody hears a word from them about Jack or you. That’s so odd…
Janet you have no clue what happened in 1957. You want to know where I am, well I’m here standing by my husband. I don’t want to engage in these petty exchanges. My daughter’s life is none of your business and has nothing to do with this case.
Poor little Janey. Got her cheating little ass handed to her on Dr. Phil, so all she has is more bullshit.
The only accurate statement you’ve ever made is silence. Why don’t you keep it that way, because no one outside of Casey believes your bullshit. No one. You don’t fool anyone. You can’t reply to any of my questions because you know the truth—and you prefer to live a lie. You’re a loser, and you know it, and you will always be that way. Jack’s in prison. He’s not going to win his appeal. You’re a shitty little person. Casey is a shitty little person. We won. You lost.
Too bad I took a screenshot before you deleted all your comments, Janey.
Glad you have a screen shot of helpful tips and suggestions to improve your health. I should not have brought up your sexual relationship with your Father but I don’t feel bad or regret it. Many women deal with incestuous relationships by over eating and obesity and I should not have made light of your traumatic childhood . I hope some day you are able to reach a healthy mind, body, and spirit, until then keep up with the NA and AA
Your lies are catching up to you, Janey. Your life is catching up to you. It must be utter hell inside your head. I have no regrets helping to put Jack in prison. His real daughter died because of him. Did you know that? She was beautiful. Gorgeous. More beautiful than you could ever be. Know how he took her life? He molested her. She ended up concealing her pain with drugs, booze, and being with the wrong people. Both his real children suffered because of him. Christine was beautiful. Jack ruined her life. He ruined yours as well, but you hide behind narcissism trying to fool people about that relationship. But, it’s catching up to you. No amount of makeup or talk show clothing can hide your ugliness. The audience caught onto you right away. Hundreds of people have contacted all of us who were on the program to say how awful you appeared; that you tried to appear flippant, but came off as narcissistic, dishonest, and petty. You aren’t fooling anyone, Janey. Jack’s going to die in prison. You’ll die of your own sickness one day. Hopefully, your other family members can stay away from you and find some healing.
Janey, Casey why don’t you give up this stupid site defending your pedo, child-killer step father. Everyone knows he is guilty.
I am a ‘poster’ who has watch all of Jack’s interviews from CNN, 48 hours ect and I believe he is guilty. The investigator on the Dr Phil show one of his communications with Jack, Jack mentions he watched Maria play on the corner all the time and would just stay at the corner hiding away just watching her play on the corner and when he passed Maria on the street corner with his friends he would say how beautiful the little girl was.
I think Maria was a very adorable little girl, she fits the pedo dream boat. Just look at JonBenet Ramsey how many people love her. The perfect little girls.
Funny, ya I was wearing Dr. Phil nylons…haha you are such a joke. You are what is wrong with this country. You sit in your single wide, collecting your welfare check and food stamps, eating and being a drain on society. You give nothing back, just take. I was being generous with giving you the crutch or excusing your drug, alcohol, and obesity troubles on your sexual relationship with your Father but the reality is you made the choice. I am sure having a sexual relationship with your Father messed you up but at some point you have to take ownership of your failures and not look for someone to blame. I really hope you stop hiding behind your 400 excess weight and take control of what little life you have left. Trolling the Internet for social interactions is not a life, stuffing your face non-stop is false comfort, and you will never rise above your trailer park if your are not capable of taking responsibility for your actions.
Projection much? No matter how many times you post lies, Janey, it’s not going to change what happened to you, and your own unhappy, dishonest life. You can make up stories about me or anyone else until the moon falls out of the sky, but it’s not going to change anything about what Jack did to you, and how you willingly follow him. Every word you post is directed back at yourself. When you say these things, I know that the truth is slapping you upside the head, and you’re too terrified to admit it. Just the fact that you post lies about other people is proof of your own deception. Deception is all that you have. It’s all Jack has ever had. When confronted with the truth, both you and he go on the offensive and conjure up incredible tales about other people to make yourselves look better. It doesn’t work. People have figured you out, just like they figured out Jack. Nothing you say about me matters. If you think it’s bothering me, you’re wrong. Go ahead. Make up some more lies and post them. The more you lie, the more you prove how deceitful you are. I can visualize you hunkered down in the corner you’ve painted yourself into, flinging poo like an enraged baboon, in an effort to stave off the inevitable. Your life is catching up to you.
So, you are saying that Jean lied and you did not have a sexual relationship with your father…… ?
As usual, I am not making any thing up or posting lies and hate, I am quoting public documents. Your sister made public your sexual relationship with your father, not me. Just as you are the one that has posted you hope I die, name calling, threats against my children and much more. Sure, I poked fun at your size but you are huge and that is also a fact. You posted you were looking at my HOUSE on google maps and I looked up which trailer park you were living in. You think Maria’s murder and the trial is some personal win for you because you used a government agency as your own personal tool of vengeance as you attempted to do with me but using a tragedy, milking it for all it’s worth, and treating as personal victory is disgusting.
I get you feel you have to paint every single women that ever crossed Jack’s path as his victim but the reality of it is no one has come forward to corroborate your lies. Christine never once said Jack did anything to her and her drug problems were caused by her. She had an illness, Sean suffers from the same illness, does that mean Jack raped him as well….?
Your sister made some pretty serious claims against your father, either he was the child rapist your sister paints him as or he was a decent father and you should defend his name? Which is it Jan, is Jean telling the truth and your father was a monster or are you too much of a coward to stand up for the man that raised you…?
Keep posting more lies, Janey. You can’t even spell names correctly, let alone read what was written. Babies can’t have a sexual relationship, if you are referring to a part of Jeanne’s memoir where she mentioned my father touched me in a sexual way as an infant. But, in your incredibly sick mind, you somehow think that means having sex with my father. There’s another example of how your own deception shows. On the Dr. Phil Show, you wanted to argue about a young girl’s age who was molested by Jack—and Clay Campbell, Dr. Phil, and Julie Trevarthan all called you on that. As if a grown man with a badge and a kid of thirteen are somehow equal. That points to your own sickness. Christine did say that Jack abused her sexually. But, again—that doesn’t fit in with your narrative, so you go on the offensive and make up more lies. Still flinging poo. You tell so many lies it’s hard to keep them all straight, so you just pile on more lies in an effort to distract from your own deception. Straw man arguments and lies—It’s all you have. The facts are there, but you ignore them and continue to fling poo. The good guys won. The bad guys lost.
Jean mentions that all but your youngest sister was raped by your father all through out your childhood. I was not referring to when she told the story of your dad molesting you at the age of 1 in the living room. You are not Jean and I wouldn’t expect you to have clear memories of infancy like she does. However, she clearly states your father raped all but one of his daughters. So, either your dad was a child rapist or you are a coward and unwilling to stand up for a man that is not even alive to defend himself.
I understand that you need to paint me as the bad guy. I am not a drug addict, alcoholic, I have never committed a crime, I don’t live off the government, and try to treat people as they treat me. I am sure in your mind that makes me the “bad guy” . It’s obvious you do not have the morals or core values stand up for what you believe in so I would never expect you to understand .
I wish you all the best in your life, I hope you can put aside your hate, and work towards a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Holding on to your hate only impacts the hater and never even touches the target of your hate. Best of luck
You can’t even see your own contradictions. In the first paragraph, you fling poo and put a straw man argument in the last line. In the second paragraph, you attempt to paint yourself as a good person as opposed to this fictitious character you are trying to pretend is me. In the third paragraph, you try to sound nice and caring. Truly, you are a prime example deception.
Nope, I think you are a sad and bitter old women. Sure, at moments you piss me off but then I take a step back and realize how unhappy and miserable someone must be to be filled with such hate. I have made no threats against you as you have me, I never wished you would die as you have done, and I never once made up lies about you as you have done towards me. So, sure at times I flip from, “wow, Jan is a miserable fat cow” to “God, it must suck to be so miserable ” . In the end I just feel sorry for you. I have no idea how messed up you are from being raped by your dad (your sister publicly posted that, not me) and I have no idea how something like that would twist a person.
Sitting in front of your computer in your trailer is your life. I looked at the outrageous amounts of posts you do on any topic, I believe the term is troll. That is such an empty life, I do have pity for you but I wish you well because as a tax payer I am tired of supporting fat lazy people like you that live off of government hand outs. So, my well wishes have more to do with you being a leach on society than really giving a damn if it takes a crane to remove you from your trailer
cheers!
“Nope, I think you are a sad and bitter old women (sic).” Aside from the frequent typos and misspellings, this is a classic case of projection. “Sure, at moments you piss me off but then I take a step back and realize how unhappy and miserable someone must be to be filled with hate.” Sounds very much as if you are trying to hug yourself with that line. “I have made no threats against you as you have me, I never wished you would die as you have done, and I never once made up lies about you as you have done towards me.” Oh, you’re referring to the fact that I thought it would be a good idea to report you to the government department that takes care of children. Yeah. I did say that. Sure did. I’ll say it again. Someone should take your children away because you are sick, and they are in danger of becoming as sick as yourself. Where is the father of your children? Why isn’t he in the picture? If I were he, I’d be in court right now with transcripts of your interviews and comments, fighting to gain custody of those poor kids. You never once made up lies about me? Really. Explain the last paragraph of your post then.There’s an example right there. I have tons more of your lies about me, the prosecutors, the cops, Kathy Chapman, my family members; all saved in a file. You post and forget what you say.”So, sure at times I flip from, ‘wow, Jan is a miserable fat cow’ to ‘God, it must suck to be so miserable”. Uh huh. Well, that pretty much is self-explanatory. No comments from me needed. “In the end I just feel sorry for you.” No. You don’t. “I have no idea how messed up you are from being raped by your dad (your sister publicly posted that, not me) and I have no idea how something like that would twist a person.” Oh, I think you do know how something like that would twist a person. Only a twisted person like you would post stuff like this. “Sitting in front of your computer in your trailer is your life.” Gee. Another lie. How surprising. “I looked at the outrageous amounts of posts you do on any topic, I believe the term is troll.” More projection. “That is such an empty life, I do have pity for you but I wish you well because as a tax payer I am tired of supporting fat lazy people like you that live off of government hand outs.” This line whips back and forth so fast, you could get whiplash. You pity me but you don’t. You lie about my life, but you care. It’s a good example of your sickness. “So, my well wishes have more to do with you being a leach (sic) on society than really giving a damn if it takes a crane to remove you from your trailer. cheers!” And, you end on that happy note, full of hate and bile—but of course, YOU don’t hate, right? You’re such a nice, non-criminal type of person. Uh huh. What’s next?
Jan, you don’t know me, all you know is I don’t believe Jack killed Maria and that is what you think makes it okay to take kids from their happy stable lives….?
Just so you are really clear on this
I think folks like yourself that live off the government hand outs are pathetic and are what is wrong with this country.
Your sister posted publicly that your father raped you and your other sisters all through out your childhood. So, either your father is a rapists or he is not. Yet, you deny that your dad raped you, which would mean Jean lied and you are a coward and will not defend a man that raised you. I think that is pathetic and telling of the type of person you are.
Simple search shows tons of posts by you, Jack’s case is the only thing I post comments on because I actually have a life. You on the other hand apparently have plenty of free time while receiving your government hand outs and spend your day eating and posting stupid comments. Your size tells me you have zero self control and your HUGE amount of public posts tells me you have no life.
It is a fact that Mary testified to a very different version of Mom’s death bed confession. Again, that is public record, I know you were sitting in the hallway during the trial because that is also in the trial transcripts. I get that you cannot afford to purchase the transcripts but since I can I would be happy to put it in a PDF and send it to you. You can read for yourself where you were told to stay in the hallway because you might be called again to the stand and you can read Mary’s testimony about Mom’s deathbed confession that is WAY different then your soap opera sensational version.
At this point you should phone your local police department and let them know I have posted comments on a blog about you, we can see how far that gets you this time… Of course, I happen to know the guy that runs this blog so not too worried about that.
CHEERS!!
Nice try, Janey.
But Jan, you still have not told me what my real name is….you posted that Janey is not my name but won’t tell me what it is, my mom and I are so very curious what my real name is….
You were so excited about your lawsuit threats yesterday, I was really looking forward to hearing how little ol’ me negatively impacted you financially and all your emotional suffering you have gone through while making empty threats towards myself and my children.
You will just have to come up with some other way to use government agencies as your personal tool of vengeance against me, the first four turned out to be so funny, I cannot wait to hear what number 5 will be. You did mention you were going to continue cyber stalking me yesterday….?
When the going gets tough, find another way to post lies and stupidity.
So, you are refusing to explain why Mary has such a totally different version of the death bed confession.
You are refusing to comment on Jean’s claims that your father raped you and your sisters and that you and your other sisters do not back up Jean’s stories of sexual abuse. Jean paints your childhood as a horror show, Mom physically and emotionally abusing the kids and dad raping all the girls. No wonder you are such a mess….
You are refusing to comment on the fact that you spent the entire trial sitting in the hallway. Both the deathbed confession and you being told to sit in the hallway are all in the trial transcripts. I really would send those to you, I have your email address from when you were harassing Casey and making threats towards him and his children.
How about you just go ahead and list the lies I have told, then I will happily post the supporting documents to every single thing I have posted. You can than call me vile nasty names, post you hope I die AGAIN, and maybe post where you think I work. That was a lot of fun….
Cheers!!
So, you are refusing to explain where your children’s father is? So, you are refusing to explain your own hate? So, you are refusing to admit you lie? So, you are pretending to be someone else and then revealing that’s it’s actually you making the posts? So, this is all you have?
I Don’t really see how the father of my children has anything to do with the case but he is a good friend still, loves his kids, and is active in their lives.
Everything I have ever posted can be backed up with public documents. Except for your obesity but there is plenty of photos of you to back up that.
I can have casey go in and add my name to my posts here but no real point. You and Casey are the only ones reading it so what is the point. I could actually ask him to go in and rewrite any of YOUR posts, it’s his blog
You think Casey and I are the only ones reading it. Hah.
I answered your questions that have nothing to do with the case.
When did you “sober up?
Where you drunk and or high at the time of the dearh bed confession?
Why is Mary’s version of the death bed confession drastically different then yours?
How about you answer a couple questions that actually have something to do with the case
So, your mom doesn’t speak to you. What about your sister, Amy? What’s she think about all this? Has Casey forgiven you for cheating on him and filing for divorce a week after the show? You two were never legally married, were you? That’s another lie, right?
If you are so bothered by my name not being on my posts I will have casey add it.
Still wondering why you and Mary have such a drastically different version of mom’s death bed confession. Too bad you are not capable of explaining that.
Why did it take you 16 YEARS to come forward with your soap opera sensational version of mom’s deathbed confession?
Janey O’Connor
Oh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive. – Sir Walter Scott
Jan, what does any of what you just posted have to do with the case…?
If casey and I were never legally married why would I file for divorce? You might want to slow down and think before you post.
1. Why is your version of the death bed confession drastically different than Mary’s?
2. You stated on 48 hours “after I sobered up” you contacted police about your version of the death bed confession, when did you sober up and we’re you high during the death bed confession.
3. Why did it take 16 YEARS to come forward with your version of the death bed confession
4. Jean publicly states your father raped you and your sisters. If she is lying do you think that reflects her willingness to falsify rape claims. Do you think that might be why Jack was found not guilty of raping her
Oh, make something up, Janey. You’re good at it. Make up some answers and post them. You’re allergic to the truth, so it wouldn’t do you any good to get truthful answers. Post some more lies. Your questions are lies, so you should definitely make the answers match.
I will answer one statement: Casey claimed you filed for divorce one week after the show. That’s his assertion. Ask him about it. I don’t believe you both were ever married legally, but that’s what Casey says.
Not sure why I had hoped you would actually discuss anything that has to do with the case. You post long rambling posts filled with name calling, threats, and stupid crap that does not pertain to the case but refuse to even comment on the case, what a joke.
1. Why did you wait 16 YEARS to come forward with the death bed confession?
2. Why is the other witness (Mary Hunt) to mom’s death bed confession testimony drastically different than your version?
3. You stated that when you sobered up you reported the death bed confession to the police. Does that mean you were drunk and or high at the time and could that be the reason your version and Mary’s version are so very different.
If you would like the trail transcripts (we know you got the time to read it) I would be happy to email it to you.
Janey
Got ’em, but thanks anyway. Answer your own lies with your own lies. I’ll answer any question that isn’t based on fallacies. Meanwhile, you can listen to this:
It is a fact that Mary had a far different version of the confession, that is a fact and it is in the trial transcripts. When you deny obvious publicly posted facts you look like you are delusional or stupid.
It is a fact that the only verifiable time you contacted the police about Mom’s confession was 16 YEARS after she died.
It is a fact that on 48 hours you stated “when I sobered up” I reported the confession. So, logical question, were you high at the time.
No biggie, Jan, I know you cannot answer a single question because there is only one reason two people would have two very different versions of something, someone is lying…. There is only one reason you will not admit to when you “sobered up”, you were drunk and or high at the time of your mother’s death and even you realize that could impact every single thing you stated in court.
Janey
Or, here’s a great idea: Read “Footsteps In The Snow” when it comes out. You’ll find all the answers your little heart desires in it.
It is a fact that you couldn’t see truth if it smacked you in the face. Keep making up stories to bolster your sad, pathetic, narcissistic pack of lies.
