Web (under construction)
I have writers block, it been a while since I tried to write. It’s been about 15 years since I’ve had dreams that my homework wasn’t done and the teacher called on me. I especially dreaded speech class it was bad enough to have to write stuff but then to stand up and have to read it in front of everyone. I couldn’t have predicted writing this blog but strangely I find that I getting some closure from it. I am humbled by the responses from people on the web. I wrote Willie Piper and sent him a copy of Dave’s book. He is the son of Gerald Burton’s sister Rita. He was the one who called the Montana Police when his mom told him about the confession. I haven’t heard anything yet; I think Rita didn’t want him to tell anyone she might have just wanted to tell someone after all that time. I wanted to talk with Willie because I think Rita was too close to Gerald and wants to protect him.
I am going to focus my search on the deathbed confession for a while. It’s too bizarre for it not to be Dave who was killed with my sister calling the Billing police asking about cold cases at the same time as the clerk had the confession on her desk. It now looks like Dave worked only in Northeast Wyoming after he left and not in Denver as we had previously thought. Dave’s friend Mike B. was holding money for him in Chico MT for a truck he had sold for him. So after working in Wyoming if he would have gotten back on interstate 90 and headed towards Chico that would have put him in Billings MT.
I’ve a self imposed time limit on finding Dave of 1-1-2020. I think it will help keep me focused on solving the puzzle knowing there is a time limit. If you’re losing in the third period you need to skate harder and take more risks. I’m speculating that in five years if I know only what I know now I would have to assume that Dave was killed by Russell Plum as in the confession. Knowing anything is better than not knowing, even bad news. A circumstantial theory based on information is better than random theorys. If this goes unresolved the only thing I would need to is accept the unknown.
I would like to find out some information about Maverick before moving on to Roundup. I struck out with Senator Franken’s office and now it’s time for a Hail Mary. I’m going to try a freedom of information request for the name of the corporate officers of Maverick Inc. I’m not sure what information that the act was meant for. I am an officer in a corporation and I know that you can get My Name and address from the state of MN. I would think the IRS might release this if the State of Wyoming has no record of Maverick. We will see what this will get me, maybe audited?
My thought was to send some brochures to the bars and churches around Roundup with a photo and the reward on it. I don’t think Dave would have been in too many churches then but I would guess that some of the older people in the churches now might have spent some time in the bars back then. A friend of mine, Don, worked for Chevron in Roundup Mt in 1980. He remembered this guy in the bar from a big ranch in the area who was a cross dresser and caused a lot of fights. I’m hoping that someone will remember talking to a writer.
I’m wondering what Russell Plum’s reaction if any, will be if he sees this site. I wonder what his wife knows? Im not sure the best way to proceed so I‘m just thinking out loud here. On the radio there was a piece on workplace creativity and they were talking about drinking at work. Their conclusion was that some alcohol helped creativity but was detrimental to solving complex problems. For disclosure purposes I have had 2 shots of Jack Daniels that someone left at the cabin. It helps you not to think too much about the facts and think about your thoughts. One fantasy I have is that Russell is sick and dying like Gerald was and wants to clear his conscience. Maybe I should reach out to Russell now but as the alcohol wears off I think that the logical thing to do is to wait until later in the game.
