My wife told me today about a 13-year-old girl stabbed to death by a 30-year-old "homeless" convicted sex offender just a couple of miles from where I live in the Hazel Dell neighborhood of Vancouver, Washington (just across the Columbia River from Portland, Ore.). <BR/><BR/>A news story at one of the local TV stations says the guy was a "level 3" sex offender, "a classification that indicates a high probability of repeat sexual offenses, according to the state of Oregon."<BR/><BR/>If that isn't enough to boil one's blood, consider the following statement from the same story:<BR/><BR/><I>Neighbors expressed frustration with the condition of the area where she was found. Police said Sanford was one of several transient sex offenders living in the area.</I><BR/><BR/>While googling for more information, I learned that there had been another stabbing a couple of miles south of there also committed by a "homeless" person just a few days earlier (Jan. 29), though this did not result in a fatality. Cops seek one "Randall Leroy,"shown in an accompanying mugshot as a mean looking redneck with a sort of Mohawk hairdo. <BR/><BR/>When I read the first "hobo" story here a couple of days ago I thought the problem might be slightly exaggerated, as plausible as I found it. Now it seems terribly understated. <BR/><BR/>I have two little kids and just discussed with my wife the need to put up a fence. <BR/><BR/>FYI, I e-mailed Kathy Shaidle about this one. <BR/><BR/>-Idler<BR/><BR/>PS. Had problem with story URLs: <BR/><BR/>In case the following links don't work, for verification purposes, the murderer's name is Darrin Eugene Sanford; his victim was Alycia Nipp.<BR/><BR/>http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_022209_news_body_of_13yo_found.400c913c.ht<BR/><BR/>http://www.kptv.com/fox12smostwanted/18594308/detail.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-86782770351539701092009-02-21T00:18:00.000-05:002009-02-21T00:18:00.000-05:00The Canadian Hobo menace is seriously under report...The Canadian Hobo menace is seriously under reported.
