Mike Easley: North Carolina's problems bigger than Hollywood?


The phone bill below proves the portion of my story of having phoned Brunswick authorities, 1998, giving them information to help solve the murder of Amy Frink. Three months later, according to online newspapers* the murder was solved, and two men were arrested, in Ocala Florida and New Jersey.

In 1992, when the Brunswick Beacon newspaper arrived at our Matthews, NC home I had given my son the tragic news about Amy. He'd been with her not long before her gruesome murder had been recorded in the news. It wasn't until 1998 he was willing to talk about what had happened the night he'd been with her, who he believed had killed her and why. He was very afraid, and had kept the information to himself for six years because the man he said he believed killed her was involved in cocaine and drugs.

A few months after making the call to Brunswick, my own son died under similar circumstances as Amy. Both were last known calling from a phone booth. Their vehicles were found abandoned, both crossed state lines, both suffered gruesome, bloody deaths. And in neither case did the mother identify the child's body. I sensed the same organization who arranged Frink's murder, also arranged the death of my own son for having involved myself with Brunswick, NC authorities.


The newspaper I'd cartooned with once, the Brunswick Beacon, had requested help from the public who might have any information to help solve the case.
Later I'd read how similar the Frink murder was to the Crystal Todd murder, the same famous Horry County detective was on both "True Crime" worthy events. Todd's murder details made it to primetime TV. Amy's didn't. Her mother, Birdie Frink, friend of Rex Gore, the local District Attorney, became a busy North Carolina crime victim's advocate.

What's going on there? According to the article below they arranged fake kidnappings, and fake drug busts with Hollywood precision. It's almost unbelievable this could happen in the USA but it seems this area has a special link to Hollywood type productions.
NC Beaches: history of corruption, drugs the article mentions several names, and details...
".....Whatever it is that is brewing up in the Federal Courthouse in Raleigh can't possibly equal the exciting Hollywood-like events from 1982-83. 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. Apparently Columbus County owes it's liquor by the drink to an undercover agent spreading around money....."

Even the presently incarcerated area Sheriff Ron Hewett has his own "Hollywood" event on Youtube. After reading about young sheriff Ron Hewett of Brunswick County, NC being imprisoned, even having covered up crimes, one had to wonder what was going on in that area. It was his office I'd contacted in 1998 along with the office of Rex Gore and the newspaper regarding Amy's murder.

A story of fallen police officer, Davina Buff Jones at Bald Head Island was enough to make a person suspicious because Governor Easley and family were invested in the Bald Head area. But then, online accounts of the area's drug history were accounted for in an online blog which cause concern for the good citizens of the state of North Carolina. Many politicians still active in the area are referenced in the story.

Were accounts true that Judge William Gore of the Brunswick area was involved with illegal poker gambling machines? Was it true that Governor Mike Easley appointed Judge Gore to head North Carolina's Division of Motor Vehicles? Was it true that District Attorney Rex Gore required phone calls regarding "green money" cash bail? Was the Gore family totally corrupted with an ongoing hold on a community of coastal North Carolina people living in fear?

I received a threat to stop asking questions. It came from North Carolina and prison system worker, the person said. Ongoing ten years I've lived in survival mode, and total fear for my life because whatever is in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky involving my son's murder, and Amy Frink's murder is all connected. Is it the mafia, dirty politics, or both?
And is it a safe area to visit or write about?

*Online Newspaper accounts indicate Amy Frink died in 1994. She was originally reported, by the Brunswick Beacon Newspaper, beckoning help in solving her murder, to have died in 1992 not long after the Crystal Todd murder.

I have reason to question the authenticity and purpose of these online publications. They also indicate her murderers were found 3 months after my phone calls to Brunswick authorities. In speaking with Mrs. Frink, Amy's mother Spring, 1999, I was told she had no knowledge of the information I'd given Brunswick authorities the previous year regarding Amy's murder. I was also told Amy's murder had not been solved.

So how could the suspects have been arrested in 1998, when in 1999, Amy's mother knew nothing about it? And how could North Carolina release a murderer who stabbed, robbed, raped a young girl and ran over her with her own pickup truck - after just nine years? If this is how the North Carolina justice system works, nobody is safe.

(Now to find THAT phone bill... will take a little more time.)

Helping police solve a murder in North Carolina was followed ongoing ten year nightmare of false arrests, police intimidation and harassment, dead animals, a dead son, sabotaged property, stalking by gangs, lost assets, murdered animals, and horror spanning states including Georgia, Kentucky, and Alabama. I was betrayed by attorneys and ignored or harassed by police. The driving force of hate against was powerful and wealthy according to one attorney, Gatewood Galbraith, saying "There's too much money against you."
After my son gave the description of the man he believed was the killer, it took a week to decide to contact authorities regarding Amy Frink's murder. I figured I could quietly make the call, anonymously and give them the information without becoming involved. There was enough information they could drive locally to this man's home. I was so sorry for the family and her mother particularly. I had a daughter myself. It must be horrible to not know who killed a child.

It was the biggest mistake of my life. And when I contacted Ms. Frink in 1999, the murder had not been solved, she had not received the information I'd given police in April 1998, and she had little to no sympathy for me, or the loss of my son. She never called with any kind of thanks or condolences, but later in a phone conversation I initiated, 2001, cautioned me not to mention drugs in any discussion with police. "The police around here have big mouths."
"If you can't trust your local police, then you have more problems than you can imagine," was my response.
I was very naive at that time.

This is the last picture I have of my son, compliments of Baldwin County, Alabama sheriff's department.
My show dogs, when I refused to sell them, Kentucky gangs decided I wouldn't have them, either. Kentucky gangs are known for removing the larynx of Rottweilers to silence their barking capacity them for the drug lords, and in feeding dogs gun powder as pups to make them extremely aggressive and mean.
This is Kentucky's welcome wagon, dead dogs, dead deer strewn across my driveway, and sabotage to my home and property. "You ought to be glad you ain't been burned out," said one local. And another, "That's what Daddy and them did to folks they didn't want around here." Take care in signing a Kentucky land contract. It could be an extortion plot with more people than the seller involved.
Another true story for another time.
