Waxahachie Sex Crime Ring | Big Name People, Media Hiding Crimes

There was a town where prominent people -- including the publisher of the Establishment newspaper -- covered up for some of the worst crimes involving children. No one believed the victims. The public rallied around these individuals who were prominent in the community, who ran the Boys/Girls Club, who knew U.S. presidents on a first name basis, who even sang the national anthem at the Dallas Republican Party convention. One man, a prominent lawyer and also a state lawmaker, took the allegations and investigated them, up until the entire operation came crashing down...and several people ended up dead, or in prison, or both.
That town was Omaha, Nebraska. That lawyer was John DeCamp. That infamous scandal was called "The Franklin Cover-Up." Link to the History of the Franklin Cover-Up: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_child_prostitution_ring_allegations

Now, in Waxahachie, Texas, we have a similar situation. There is a crime ring so big that it is being covered up by the big political Establishment newspaper (the Waxahachie Daily Light) and includes the most prominent individuals in the county, and in the community. Those in the know call it "the circle." Much like the circle that encompasses our county in the form of the old SuperCollider, this circle is a demonic, Satanic, from-the-depths-of-Hell sinister plot to cover up for the worst crimes against children since The Franklin Cover-Up.

My stories and investigations into the local Child Protective Services (CPS) ripping families apart are nothing compared to this...but those CPS stories on top of each other have stacked into one gigantic piece of this child sex ring pie. The other pieces include how the WDL is covering up for these crimes. The other piece is how the Sheriff's Office, the Waxahachie PD, and the biggest banker in the county is helping cover up for these crimes.

Judges, lawyers and other prominent individuals were busted by the FBI in the late 80s, early 90s for being implicated in drug-running operations. Not a word was reported, but everyone involved got away scot-free.
Wednesday, July 14: EllisCountyRadio.com
| Call-In Number: 646-478-5811 | Guest: Tamara Yarbrough | She will help expose the crimes against these children, and she will name names. Very prominent names.

Today, I had the pleasure to meet Tamara Yarbrough in Waxahachie, and came away sickened, but also full of confirmations as to why I am in Ellis County, and why The Ellis County Observer is located here, and why The Ellis County Press was originally started out to be placed here.

Tamara Yarbrough has a rap sheet. A fairly lengthy, controversial one. That is not an untrue statement.

But she has alleged, and I have assisted in linking, the worst crimes in our county, mostly occurring in Waxahachie. Within "the circle."

Why else would the WDL cover up for, say, the Dr. Chitale crimes? Chitale was a doctor in Ennis Regional Medical Center. He sedated patients as he molested them. This was covered up because at the time, Ennis Police were distracted by certain women-folk, including JoAnn Livingston of the WDL, who reportedly was screwing Lt. Ron Roark. This was kept hush-hush until the Dallas Morning News (excuse me, until I and The Dallas Morning News) blew a hole in the story. Livingston later apologized to Chitale's victims because she couldn't/wouldn't report on what was going on.

Why else would the WDL and law enforcement cover up for (Google the words in bold) Judge Al Scoggins and Karen Weaver, not only their affair, but Karen Weaver's child molestation against four of her grandchildren?

Why else would the WDL and law enforcement cover up for Sara Ruth Spector's CPS horror trail, and CPS offices in Waxahachie and Ennis snatching kids to put them with family members with long, lengthy drug abuses? Livingston and Spector are friends.

Why else would CPS lose a civil trial (jury trial) and then counter it with a district attorney-led criminal case, only to then be drowned again by a jury? Same family, two different venues and two similar outcomes: not guilty. Livingston and the prosecutors are best friends.

Why else would the Waxahachie PD allow their patrol supervisor, Lt. Billie Wiggins Pendleton, stay employed when she clearly had an affair with the former police chief Ted Garber and his daughter? She's an admitted psychopath, according to transcripts in the Robert Trevino Case.

There are so many other cases and incidents. One just needs to read this blog's archives and some archives of my stories in The Ellis County Press. Some homework:
Flashback: Al Scoggins & Karen Weaver Cover-Up

Flashback: Kevin's House Halfway House Cover-Up

Flashback: Don/Cindy Hellstern Cover-Up

Flashback: The Robert Trevino Case
So, back to Tamara Yarbrough...

She has four children, ages 23 to 11. She is married to Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough, who owns a roofing company and who is good friends with CNB Texas' Mark Singleton, a Waxahachie councilman. He also did work for the lady who owned Lynn's Check Cashing; He also knows and is friends with the Crownovers. He's friends with Joe Rust, the prominent real estate king. Rust even became a character witness for Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough during a divorce proceeding before Judge Al Scoggins. Kenneth Wayne wants to divorce Tamara for a few reasons...let's dive into those:
1) Judge Gene Calvert issued a protective order against Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough on behalf of the 11-year-old daughter, the only daughter between Kenneth Wayne and Tamara, in October 2009;

2) Kenneth Wayne filed for divorce shortly after that, and was, shockingly, given custody of the 11-year-old daughter per a CPS intervention;

3) Tamara, remember, has a rap sheet. Probation for 10 years, etc. Nothing in the order I read today bars her from seeing her daughter, but Kenneth Wayne has blocked all communication and visitation access to her daughter. I'm guessing those friends in high places helped Kenneth Wayne out. This is strictly conjecture, but, as history proves in this county, it is precisely the reason this stuff happens...

4) Calvert issued out of his Court at Law No. 2 the protective order because of physical and emotional abuse;

5) One day, before the divorce proceedings and the subsequent CPS intervention, the little 11-year-old daughter came to Tamara to tell her, "I have something I need to tell you." Before the child could repeat a word, Tamara took her to Waxahachie PD and wanted the 11-year-old to tell the police the allegations, so as to not make it look like she was coaching her child. WPD said they'd call the Gingerbread Advocacy Center, an organization that supposedly assists victims of child sex abuse. One look at their board of directors will show a who's who list of those who are (some, not all) helping perpetuating the cover up against the crimes against kids: CPS; the District Attorney; the WDL, just to name a few...

6) Tamara Yarbrough never received a call. But her daughter met with the Dunaway Elementary principal and guidance counselor one day, and told them the allegations. I asked Tamara if her daughter ever told her...and Tamara said she didn't want to know for fear others would think she coached her child. The Dunaway officials, God bless them, called CPS and made the allegations from Tamara's daughter a "Priority No. 1," which is ISD lingo for "we have some serious problems here...and we need an investigation pronto."

7) Tamara later said that her daughter's journal confirmed that something had happened, while not going into detail (the journal was dated when her 11-year-old daughter wrote it, she said.)

8) Tamara and Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough have been married for 13 years.

9) Back in 1999, Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough's then-16-year-old son Heath Yarbrough was sentenced to prison for raping Tamara's then-3-year-old son. Heath allegedly raped him anally. It was later alleged that Heath himself was molested as a child. Heath is now out of prison for raping the 3-year-old (who is now 23.) There were other allegations: Kenneth Wayne's son, Heath, had exposed himself to neighbor girls and also allegedly raped another boy.

10) Tamara's now-21-year-old daughter alleged that Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough raped her as well. The allegations came out of Fort Worth, where the 21-year-old daughter lived at the time. Tamara said she didn't believe her daughter for fear that her daughter was making it up because "she was mad at me." The allegations - two to be exact - were made, and the Waxahachie police reportedly arrested Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough. Remember those high places with friends? One of them happened to be a guy named Dusty Autrey, the owner (co?) of Triple A (AAA) Bail Bonds in Waxahachie. Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough was given a "walk-through" and arraigned without even being present before an unknown judge. Funny how things like that work...

11) The IRS letter sent to Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough's friends the Crownovers is a telling document...in it, the IRS says the Social Security number Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough uses is invalid, and has been. The IRS told Tamara Yarbrough, "I've never seen anything like this in my 30 years of working for the IRS. It was as if he was never born, never existed."

12) Tamara said her and Kenneth Wayne never had a bank account, but CNB Texas' Mark Singleton would -- with Kenneth Wayne's signature reportedly -- give him a "$1 million line of credit" --- all this, Tamara says, with no bank account.

13) KCK Roofing is located at 815 Cantrell Street south of downtown Waxahachie. It's now part of Brogdon Roofing. Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough is friends with a James Brogdon. James Brogdon is the grandfather of a Jessica Brogdon, who Tamara said was in bed with Kenneth Wayne one day as she walked in (this was when Jessica was about 13 or 14.)...Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough was "butt naked" with the young Jessica. Kenneth Wayne told her he was off his medications (had Jessica been my young daughter, Kenneth Wayne would have had two bullets in his head.) That might have explained why he was naked, but why was a young girl whose grandfather is now business partners with Yarbrough in his bed? Tamara Yarbrough said she told Cindy Brogdon, Jessica's mother. (Cindy is married to Cecil, who is also part of, or the sole owner of, Brogdon Roofing.)

14) The Case Numbers, for those interested in researching more, in both the Calvert protective order and the Scoggins divorce proceeding are: 79.619-D (Scoggins-divorce/CPS) and 7956CCL (Calvert-protective order.)

15) About Tamara Yarbrough's arrest rap sheet. Again, this is not to be covered up, or ignored. But Tamara Yarbrough said she has been put in jail for months at a time, or on weekends, or periods of time and not been given the reasons she was in jail. She's been told of court hearings that take place without her knowledge.
Sound familiar, John Margetis?

Sound familiar, Ellis County?

There's a sex crime ring in Ellis County, Texas, and more importantly, in Waxahachie. There's an even larger underground Satanic cult --- the same cult that was linked to the killing of an undercover MIdlothian police officer in 1987 --- operating.

We call these principalities and powers that we wage war against, and obviously, with one click of a mouse and the typing of a few words and names, one can find out that there is a sinister Satanic, demonic imaginary crime scene tape circulating Waxahachie.

And at the top of it all is a Franklin Cover-Up type of operation, with members in the most prominent positions of "our community."

I fully expect to be sued for this article that will hit my newspapers, but now the burden of proof is going to be on those alleged to have taken part in these crimes. Of course, I will issue any and all responses to these allegations made by Tamara Yarbrough. I have offered in the past whole pages and whole forums for those who disagree with what is written on this site to have their say.

But let's not hold any punches: there's a reason why law enforcement, CPS, the media has all conglomerated to cover up for the worst crimes against kids in this county.

Those character witnesses to Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough ------------- alleged to have sodomized and raped little kids, as well as appearing naked in bed with a little girl -------------------- is another Who's Who list. Joe Rust. Rocky Stones (though he did not show up.) There are others...including the now 21-year-old daughter who said, "Mom needs to get help."

After reading this, we all need help. And we all need protection. Because Satan just got outed, and his powers and principalities and his agents who are covering up for these crimes are about to get judged. When I started The Ellis County Observer in October 2005, I told friends of mine, "God is going to bring judgment on Waxahachie."

It Costs $300 to Put Banners Up @ Waxahachie Farmer's Market

Perfect example of what happens when cities and their authoritarian policies and economic central planning do...for example, in downtown Waxahachie's case, the vendors at some of the Farmer's Market stands must pay a ridiculous $150 fee to put up a banner, and then pay another $150 fee to take it down. The estimates I received from participants were from $125 to $150, but this is outrageous.

Since we have a new city council, I fully expect these guys to do the right thing and end this horrendous insulting banner fee.

Ferris | Mayor Accused of Violating Citizen's Constitutional Rights

Mayor Rick Barrett has some explaining to do...check this editorial out in The Ellis County Press: epress.elliscountypress.com/index.asp?Show=07/01/2010&Page=5#npTop





Also looks like the Ferris Fire Department is one gigantic abyss for taxpayer funds...man, looks like we need to start cutting questions into every city department and agency across the county...

Dallas' Trinity River Levee Rigging Will Destroy Eastern Ellis County

My friends, neighbors, opponents and other "leaders" (or so-called) in Ellis County need to take heed to what liberal Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (she just needs to resign now...time to get rid of her) just did with Dallas' Trinity River levee system: dallasobserver.com/2010-07-01/news/senator-kay-bailey-hutchison-took-a-meat-axe-to-federal-law-to-get-the-mayor-his-toll-road-but-did-she-even-think-about-the-consequences?src=newsletter

I have said this before on this very blog: what Dallas does upstream will have major impacts to Bristol, India and the eastern Ellis County line in the long run...this is outrageous what they are doing...their development north of us will flood homes and properties and create mass chaos if those $90 million bridges and their pipe-dreamt sailboats and park space around the sewage and body-filled Trinity have the effect I think they'll have...

Don't believe a word I say? Well ask Lancaster about Ten Mile Creek in DeSoto and how those developments upstream destroyed the houses and properties in Lancaster several years back...

If you guys aren't paying attention to Dallas right now, you folks need to...because I can only imagine what will happen if these levees break upstream, or if the massive development of the Trinity is carried out...

Red Oak ISD | Teacher Pay Raises in THIS Economy?

Waxahachie ISD kinda ticked off the process, but the economically brain-dead in Red Oak voted to give their employees a pay raise. Oh, no, Joey isn't for the teachers. Actually I am. I'm for every government employee learning about basic economics. This is a hugely disastrous example of how government can seemingly be the only industry in our land that doles out pay raises in the worst economic depression since The Depression.

How in the world can this go on any further? You people are economically retarded, those that won't call a spade a spade...regardless if there's money in the kitty for pay raises, giving them out in a Depression-like economy is the most ridiculous move one could make.

Only in government...

We'll see how long this lasts in the $95 million-and-counting Red Oak High School that taxpayers are on the hook for...it's pretty, yes, but all of these things will come home to roost in the form of more and more payments on debt.

See, if Red Oak ISD and other school districts had to compete in the real world on a free enterprise, capitalist system, the employees would have to actually show something in order to get pay raises. We wouldn't be spending either, we'd be cutting, cutting, cutting, cutting.

Run it like a business? Yeah right. Running it like government. Never fails. Never surprises me.

Ellis Central Appraisal District Salary Figures

Curious as to what our chief appraiser makes? What about her employees and staff? Those people who are responsible for determining valuations and the like for ECAD make quite a bit of money.

It's Happening | Oncor 'Line Fee' Added to Bills -- Cap-and-Trade Will Be Worse

So, those who continue to support the policies of this current administration are now going to dictate to the rest of Ellis County what will be common: more and more and more and more fees on utility bills, among other things. Oncor has hit people's bills with "line fees," according to several readers of The Palmer Post. I hope you folks really love your green sustainable living bullshit now...because it's obvious this gouging by government is resulting in these utility companies (who are half-ass regulated...not fully deregulated because Oncor still owns the lines) jacking up fees...as usual.

What's even more, churches, volunteer fire departments and non-profits are being hit with these fees more and more...

Bristol | County Regulations Prohibit Fire Station Getting Water

How ironic and disgusting this must be for those in the unincorporated area of Bristol, near the eastern Ellis County boundary...those in the Emergency Services District (rural fire district) who pay taxes to fund rural fire service cannot get a fire station because county regulations prohibit them from getting water...why are they prohibited, according to Bristol residents, from getting this water? Because the land a new fire station would sit on (or the current one) is not at least 1 acre in size, and therefore, cannot have a septic system.

Let the record show that Bristol resides within Precinct 2. Bill Dodson is the incumbent Republican facing Libertarian Daryl Ray Spence in the fall.

When county regulations prohibit public services necessities such as fire service, it's time to start taking politicians out of office...

Brazos River Authority Scandal | Darren Yancy Provides Details

This came from DarrenYancy.com, but the excerpt sheds light on the Brazos River Authority scandal that I keep pounding everyone publicly about...it's like there's this huge dart board here in Senate District 22 that everyone in the media -- TV, newspapers (other than mine), etc. have totally ignored.
From Darren Yancy's site:

Along the way I uncovered a scandal that involved a whole slew of people mainly from the chief county in SD22 – McLennan. The scandal involved the Brazos River Authority and its closure of a hydroelectric dam system at Possum Kingdom Lake in Palo Pinto, Texas. At the root of the scandal was Averitt, our Senator for the district and the Chair of the Texas Natural Resource Committee that oversees all lakes, rivers, and dams in Texas who sat by while the plant closure started killing off economic life in several SD22 counties. Another individual that kept coming into the scandal was current Brazos River Authority President AND SREC for District 22 Chris DeCluitt. DeCluitt also resides in McLennan County.

When I started to uncover the scandal, Averitt “suspended” his campaign and DeCluitt launched the “Re-Elect Kip” campaign to keep Averitt in so the seat remained in McLennan County. DeCluitt wanted the Senate seat through an Averitt in-session retirement and I screwed it up. The McLennan County Machine went into full swing and chewed me alive. Democrat Chet Edwards team called his rolls to get Dems to crossover vote for Averitt (we have open primaries in Texas). The strategy worked and I lost in spite of 25000 plus votes that would have won most primaries. So you begin to understand the full flavor of this county, former President George W Bush’s Crawford ranch is in McLennan County.

Why is Land Linked to Jim Pitts Lower in Appraised Value Than Others' Land?

State Rep. Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, is looking into an issue I e-mailed him about last week regarding some land that his sister-in-law, Ellen Zinn, owns throughout Ellis County. Zinn's land, or much of it, is listed under a Pitts entity. My source for the packed packet envelope full of documents, maps and other information reports that the Ellis Central Appraisal District said due to Zinn owning 3,000 or more acres in Ellis County, her appraised values were lower...read the bottom of this report for Chief Appraiser Kathy Rodrigue's response to that....


Ellen E. Zinn & Pitts 2007 Properties LTD
710 Sycamore
Waxahachie, TX 75165
Just an example of the loads of documents that were received in my Palmer mail box last week:
White Rock Road (Italy, Texas area)
Zinn: $825 (valuation) ---- two separate properties are both valued at this.

Her surrounding neighbors on the same road are: $1,260 (Slaroc); $1,560 (Dillworth); $4,200 (Bennett); $3,360 (Swaim); $1,755 (Adams); $2,720 (Howell); $1,792 (Woodall); $2,032 (Owens)







Here is the response from Ellis Central Appraisal District Kathy Rodrigue as to why these discrepancies exist on Pitts-linked land.
This response is in reply for your request for comment. One of the characteristic of a property is its size and when valuing properties similar sized properties should be valued similarly taking into consideration any other differences in characteristics. State law requires, in the Texas Property Tax Code cpa.state.tx.us/taxinfo/proptax/96-297-09.pdf that:

§ 23.01. Appraisals Generally

Text of section effective Jan. 1, 2010. See, also, text of § 23.01 effective until Jan. 1, 2010.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, all taxable property is appraised at its market value as of January 1.

(b) The market value of property shall be determined by the application of generally accepted appraisal methods and techniques. If the appraisal district determines the appraised value of a property using mass appraisal standards, the mass appraisal standards must comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. The same or similar appraisal methods and techniques shall be used in appraising the same or similar kinds of property. However, each property shall be appraised based upon the individual characteristics that affect the property’s market value, and all available evidence that is specific to the value of the property shall be taken into account in determining the property’s market value.

Therefore, similar sized properties with similar characteristics in similar market areas should be valued similarly. Comparing a 150 acre tract to a 3,000 acre tract would be inappropriate because the size characteristic is dissimilar.  Comparing a 150 acre tract to other like sized acreages would be appropriate and is in compliance with the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal Practices (USPAP). There is no favorable treatment for ownership, it is a matter of recognizing property characteristics and how they affect the property’s market value. Our policy and administrative decisions are to comply with state law and USPAP.

Oncor Drenched w/ 2,000 Angry Galaxy Drive-In Theatre Callers

Oncor Electric Delivery had a busy night Sunday after about 2,000 pissed-off customers at the Galaxy Drive-In Theatre near Ennis phoned in complaints that the power wasn't coming on. The Galaxy called Oncor at 6:30 p.m. to notify them of the power outage, but by the time 9 p.m rolled around on the busiest night of the year, still darkness.

Luckily for the Galaxy, I have some information that might help them and others who are faced with customer service representatives who are rude and threaten to "make sure you have no more power ever" if that particular customer service rep ("Sandra" was her name) received another call...

There are three call centers in DFW for Oncor: one in Las Colinas; one in Corinth and one in Waco. There was only one guy in the entire Oncor apparatus for Sunday night, and he was from McKinney. Calls for service are handled in two directions: west of Highway 360 and east of Highway 360. So the "D.O.C." for Ellis County is east of Highway 360...

And with only three call centers, it will be easier to find out who this Sandra lady was....

Oncor officials told The Ellis County Observer that the Galaxy should contact the Public Utility Commission and lodge a formal complaint against not only Oncor, but the customer service representative, mentioning the date, time, exact description of what happened, etc.
