We have learned that an arrest has been made in the case of Andy's murder. The police told Patti yesterday that an arrest was expected at any time, then we saw David at noon today and he told us a man was taken into custody late in the afternoon.
Our Jackson County Sheriff's dept. and the OSBI (Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation) worked together to solve the crime, and did an excellent job.
The man arrested has confessed, and is charged with 1 count of first degree murder, and 1 count of armed robbery. He is a former town cop (not our town) who was fired for misconduct on the job, being too physically and verbally abusive to anyone he happened to stop or have legal contact with.
We will be attending memorial services tomorrow morning, burial in the afternoon.
Andy was one of the good guys. He looked like an aging hippy, with a beard and old clothes, but he was good-hearted. He had very little of this world's goods because he gave nearly everything he owned away. All one had to do was ask, or sometimes not even that. Both Patti's kids loved their Uncle Andy. He will be missed.
Blessings to all my family. Hug your loved ones, you don't know how long you will have them.
