In Memory of Officer Davina Buff Jones, Brunswick, North Carolina

July 29, 1966 - October 22, 1999


Her family has a website
  • HERE

  • Initially, Davina's death was ruled suicide, and after years of struggle her parents, in coping with the suicide verdict and knowledge of altered, scrubbed crime scene evidence on Bald Head Island, were able to see the ruling changed to cause of death as, "unknown." But District Attorney Rex Gore, a public figure since the 1980's, would never accept anything other than suicide, and refused to reopen the case.

    The police dispatcher's taped comments regarding Davina:
    "I could hear her advise someone to put the gun down."

    Davina's last words taped by police recordings:
    "There ain't no reason to have a gun here on Bald Head Island.

    Okay?

    Come on, do us a favor and put down......"
    ––––––––
    Before now imprisoned Sheriff Ron Hewett's reign (1994-2008,) the sheriff was John Carr Davis, whose son-in-law was murdered. Before that, the sheriff was Herman Strong involved in the "Colcor" scandals.
    COLCOR: Brunswick County, North Carolina, 1983

    "...B-25 bombers landing in fields, dead bodies searched for in hog pits, fake kidnappings, Cuban smugglers, U-Haul trucks with 10,000 pounds of pot getting stuck in a ditch, fake drugs busts, and legislation enacted to make it illegal for the Federal Government to use money to influence a vote...."

    FBI Special Agent Robert Drdak was responsible for unraveling the web of deceit, drug crimes, and high level corruption in the Columbus/Brunswick, North Carolina areas, 1983. Among those involved in bribery, racketeering and drug smuggling was a police chief, sheriff, District Court Judge, and State Senator.
    Even then present District Attorney Rex Gore was involved in local politics.

    From 1976 until the late 1980's, former Governor Mike Easley, with homes at Southport and Bald Head Island was District Attorney for the 13th prosecutorial district, which encompasses Brunswick, Columbus and Bladen counties. Easley went on to become North Carolina's State Attorney General from 1992-2000, then Governor for two terms, until 2008.

    Although little remains on the internet regarding the Colcor scandals and investigations, former NC Governor Easley must have been involved in the investigations and court trials, among those involved:
    HERMAN STRONG, Brunswick Sheriff
    -numerous charges of conspiring to smuggle drugs, providing protection to drug smugglers, accepting bribes, and 2 incidents of smuggling marijuana and methaqualone tablets
    HOYAL "RED" VARNUM, Shallotte Police Chief
    -conspiring to possess with intent to distribute 1,100 to 1,400 pounds of marijuana
    STEVE VARNUM
    -past chairman Brunswick County Commissioners, involved with his brother Red Varnum
    L. HAROLD LOWERY, Police Chief, Lake Waccamaw
    -racketeering taking $1,650 bribe money
    EDWARD WALTON WILLIAMSON
    -payoff to send Star News reporter, Judith Tillman back to Alabama
    J. WILTON HUNT, District Court Judge
    -racketeering, interstate gambling
    G. RONALD TAYLOR, State Representative
    -burning 3 warehouses of a competitor in the farm implement business
    R.C. SOLES, State Senator
    -influence peddling, vote tampering and buying votes for DA Rex Gore
    (R.C.Soles is North Carolina's longest serving legislator, and was reelected to his 21st term, November 2008.)

    Much of this information was obtained from and more indepth information regarding Colcor can be found

    ––––––––––––
    It shouldn't be surprising Davina was aware of drug activity, even at Bald Head Island.


    Somewhere in the midst of correspondence with Senator Helms, I had contacted Mrs. Birdie Frink to ask her whether she'd received information I'd relayed the summer before, in 1998, to Brunswick authorities regarding the unsolved murder of her daughter. She said she hadn't received any new information from the police.

    A few months later, Officer Davina Jones was dead.


    From 1988 to 1991, I was a freelance amateur cartoonist with The Enquirer Journal newspaper, in the home county of the late Senator Jesse Helms. I felt fortunate that Ramie Barker, the editor, welcomed my amateurish cartoons, and so willingly published some which were quite daring.

    Ramie lost his job when the Democrats lost the county after having had control for more than 100 years, and I looked for other avenues to utilize my talents. An "Ivy-Leager" came down from up North to take Ramie's place, and surprisingly, staunch Republican, Ramie moved up into West Virginia to work for Democrat U.S. Senator Robert Byrd.

    Senator Helms was documented as enjoying the cartoons created of him, so he kept his favorites displayed on the walls of his office. I'm sure the lone cartoon I created of him (with the hot air balloon) wasn't one displayed.
    –––––––––––––––
    A political cartoonist once playfully described his profession as one of.... "an assassin, except we use pen and ink."

    Wouldn't Officer Davina Buff Jones have been fortunate to have met her final fate with a political cartoonist instead of the genuine assassin who took her life?

    Crime scene evidence was destroyed and Officer Davina Jone's blood was hastily washed away to make way for a wedding on the affluent island. Nearly seven years after the loss of this courageous officer, North Carolina lost a great talent, and native son. Doug Marlette was a tremendously gifted political cartoonist whose life was lost in a tragic truck accident. North Carolina has lost prematurely some very talented, and courageous citizens.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Marlette

    Like Davina, and miraculously coincidental, my "suicided" son as a toddler was was fondly nicknamed "Beany," too. How startling both these children were born so affectionately nick-named by family. Yet each was destined to bear a cruel-sham-labeling "suicide" ruling by questionable and contradictory police reporting. With insensate mishandling, and political distancing, authorities controlling outcomes of these investigations would cast shadows on these kid's memories in concealing and distorting facts even common sense would recognize as shady.

    And for those of us denied justice, who haven't the connections or means to challenge tightly-knit authorities, wealth, and well-established power–– the First Amendment is worth more than any politician, psychiatrist, court, detective, coroner, state employee, district attorney––or affluent island.

    What really matters to those who've loved and lost their children is the truth.

    It's as simple as that.

    Good morning, dear Michelle,

    I have read about this female police officer's case. It is shocking news, but not so shocking after all when we know that very often political murders are disguised as "suicide".

    "Something is foul in the state of Denmark", Hamlet said in Shakespeare's tragedy. Today something is foul in most of the states where organized gangstalking and harrassment are being practised.

    You may leave this comment on your blog, if you like, no need to protect me, because I have outed myself with my own blog in Germany as a Targeted Individual.

    Would you please be so kind to add my link to your blogroll ? I have done so with yours, too.

    Wishing you a peaceful Sunday,
    Eva

    Hello Eva,
    Thank you for your very kind comments.

    Officer Jones died in the same jurisdiction which handled Amy Frink's unsolved murder, and handled the information I gave them to help solve Amy's murder, in 1998.

    The Sheriff involved, Ron Hewett, was sent to federal prison late last year for 16 months. As best I can tell, his convictions had nothing to do with Officer Jones death or the incredible destruction of crime scene evidence which would have proven homicide beyond a shadow of a doubt.

    This is the way our justice system works. Sheriff Hewett will spend 16 months at the federal "detox" center, called "prison."

    Officer Jones family will never find relief, or justice, and the truth of what really happened to their daughter/sister will probably never be told.

    It will all be covered up and the North Carolina coastal tourism industry will continue to flourish.

    It's always, "all about money."

    Scroll down a post, you will see the note taken from a North Carolina man saying I should "get on with my life, with the warning that "'they' will kill you."

    He was urging me to stop searching for the truth regarding the death of my son. Apparently it was stirring up things in North Carolina.

    He said he was "with the prison system" and if so was an employee of the State of North Carolina.

    When I was being harassed and jailed in Georgia one employee there was from Alabama (newly planted) and didn't even know the street directions I requested in town.

    There was plenty of laughter among police when they put me in jail in Houston County, Georgia.

    I wondered if the planted Alabama officer carried the tale back to Alabama where they had just murdered my son a couple weeks before my arrest.

    Surely it's all connected now, as you can see: Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky. All four states have involved police, or police harassment and coverup.

    Maybe they are all in the illegal drug trades, like Brunswick authorities were in 1983.

    Again thank you for writing, and I've added your blog to my list, hoping American readers will realize this gang stalking is global, and can be politically motivated, and involve police harassment, arrest, and intimidation, as well.

    Best wishes,
    Michelle

    Sadly enough, dear Michelle, this is how the justice system works in all the NATO countries, too, which are allied to the United States.

    I am sure that your search for your murdered son has stirred up and will continue to stir up some dirt in North Carolina and the other Southern states you mention.

    I know for sure that this Organized Gang Stalking and Harassing is an international procedure, the Secret Services, police and military of the USA and all the NATO countries work with the same manual, they have the same procedures to the dot.

    This is what I also want to make clear in my forum, adding your link, that of Mark Rich, Kitty, Medawar, Peter Mooring: the USA, GB, Netherlands, Germany ... all are involved. One of the commenters in my forum is from Austria, same procedures there !

    Have a calm evening,
    Eva

    Eva,
    Again thank you for your comments.

    I'm hoping these criminal organizations which include dirty police and corrupt politicians can be eliminated.

    Ten years of enduring coercion, intimidation, death, and horrors can make a person lose faith in the integrity and good will of his country.

    Here, no matter where you look, you will find drugs. Officer Jones was onto drug activity on affluent Bald Head Island and even the Governor of North Carolina had a home there!

    I find myself wondering now if my Father, who so mysteriously died of a heart attack and so young, didn't refuse to use his military talents in flying cocaine planes.

    It would explain so many things, including the past ten years and mysterious death of his grandson.

    I realize now I shouldn't have created political cartoons against criminals, drugs and drug lords.

    Besides destroying countless lives, and banking the money, they apparently run this country.

    Dear Michelle,

    thank you for adding my link to your blogroll.

    I just finished translating another bit of Mark Rich's book, The Hidden Evil, and posted it:

    Mark Rich (8): Vandalismus und Töten von Haustieren

    Killing pets, a specialty !
    Could you please tell the German readers the story of your dogs being killed ? I know it is a gruesome story and will give you a heartache again - you needn' go into details and can make it short.

    My black cat was killed when I moved in here, I will tell that story, too.

    Chris, a young man in Hannover/Germany, got his three guinea pigs killed, one after the other. I will send him an email right away to ask him to tell that story.

    Kitty in Rochester/New York tells that her brother's cat was poisoned when he visited their father from Carolina ...

    So I want to do the same thing you are doing: I want to show that this is not what happens accidentally or just in one particular place. It happens in all the NATO Countries and the USA because it is one of the techniques in the International Handbook of Harassment and Torture.

    Thank you, my dear,
    Eva

    Dear Michelle,

    thank you very much for your report of how all of your show dogs got killed. You placed the comment under a different post (the top one, home page), but it does not matter, I translated it word by word.

    I inserted your dog collage under the actual post of "Vandalism/Killing Pets" and referred to your link in my blogroll.

    Thank you very much for cooperating, my dear.

    I have found that things get easier for myself since I have started the Forum. It is better not to be a passive "victim" but to get organized and do something.

    Wishing you a calm night,
    Eva

    Eva,

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation addresses stalking issues at its site.

    What is difficult to understand is what determines whether the F.B.I. will involve itself in certain crimes. They were involved in Sheriff Hewett's investigation, and they were also involved in the corruption in Brunswick County in 1982.

    The problem seems to be in organized criminal activity time passes so the entire network can be dismantled. Then a victim loses faith in the system and all else.

    In that time the victim can also lose his life, his finances, etc. But an undercover investigation is often ongoing.

    I don't believe we've heard the end of Officer Davina Jone's ruling, and I believe from personal experience that some remaining Brunswick County authorities should be removed from office and sent to prison––along with any co-conspirators outside Brunswick.

    Here are some links you might find useful that are within the search engines of the F.B.I.

    Note the last link is not "FBI" but addresses R.I.C.O. statutes which are special laws written to address the problems of organized criminal organizations.

    As always my best wishes are with you,
    Michelle

    This is why the drug war needs to be stopped!!! I've personally purchased pot from the Chief of Police son Rodney Gause 4oz for $300 which is a great deal. Cops always have the best drugs and the old DA Mike Easley got elected using drug money and the good ol boys system. Which spend your tax dollars on a $40 million improvements on the county jail $20 million on a court house and a new Tax building and helicopters. It's called revenue raising and the people hooked up in that town will never get into trouble. Because the people with the money and power will keep it that way. That's why if you go to court the DA gets to pick which judge you go in front of. Called judge shopping. NC is the only state to do this. So judge Warren and others can get there cut of the action as well. All the while Gov Mike Easley covers up for jailers in Brunswick Co. beating and killing Senca Vaughn and putting Shane Johnson in comma's and the Brunswick Beacon covering for them so as not to upset the cash cow of tourist spending money. Those beaches may say public but drive over the bridge at night and see if you don't get pulled (check out Damien Guarniere) It's a crooked system and as long as you give them money and let them take away your freedom because you gave up your liberty for a little security this is what will continue to happen.

    “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

    Benjamin Franklin quotes
