The kings man imdb

So two months ago, I made this post about getting blindsided by my then-CTO at the startup I was working at. Thought I would provide an update, since the story ended up having a happy ending, as well as some lessons I learned along the way.
The job search took about a month, and early on I got a reaaaaaalllly lowball offer for 91k base (no I'm not joking, this is why I usually ignore CO-based companies, their pay is trash), which was very tempting to take. Ultimately I passed on it and ended up getting an offer as a data engineer at a fast-growing, tech-focused F500 company with 115k base, 10% bonus, and 30k RSUs vested evenly over 3 years for about 135k TC. Not too far off what I was making, and in all fairness, this company will probably accelerate my career trajectory so much more than another no name startup that will almost certainly fail within a couple years.
For those of you job hunting right now due to layoffs, or otherwise, here's what I learned. The reality is that most companies are behaving like absolute trash right now, because they can afford to, which is taking the form of offering contract only or making very low offers. The interviewing bar seems to be very high right now too. I did about 60 or so LC problems, which still didn't seem like enough, but the problem is they always seem to give you a problem that's dissimilar from what you've already worked on. I get that we're supposed to work on patterns, not problems, but when it's a pattern you haven't worked on yet or aren't strong in eh....best I can offer is to just grind more problems. Plenty of good advice in this subreddit about that.
As far as the job hunting itself goes, contract or not, I followed up on any reasonable outreach. Recruiters were typical recruiters, so expect a lot of ghosting, no surprise there. I marked myself as open to work, and made a post about being laid off, and surprisingly got a decent amount of direct recruiter contacts via DMs which were much higher quality. I think this is going to be very dependent on your network, and the size of it, but if you don't have a lot of connections on LinkedIn this may be one of those instances where it will pay off later because more people saw, shared, and commented on my looking for work post than they otherwise would have if I had a smaller network. Cold applications were almost completely worthless. I don't think anything material about my job search would have changed if I didn't make any cold applications, and just waited for recruiters to DM me, which is nuts but oh well.
I also was able to successfully file for unemployment, since the startup couldn't prove they fired me for cause which in CO if you're fired for cause then you can't get unemployment, which isn't particularly shocking since they just made up a reason to get rid of me. Surprisingly, unemployment didn't even ding me for turning down the job offer, since it was so much lower than what market rate was. However, I did get denied for my final week of being unemployed, because apparently even if you accept a job offer and you're just waiting to start, you can't get unemployment if you didn't make work search activities like applying to jobs. So keep that in mind if you're trying to maintain unemployment. Granted, this is for CO, but even if you're in another state I'd just apply to a few jobs each week while waiting to start just in case. This may be the only use for cold applications since they're an easy way to report work search activities.
Lastly for career stuff in general...this sub, Blind, etc. really preaches job hopping for more pay. While I appreciate that, and I still am in a better position than I was staying at my first company making 85k as a mid level developer, man it's been a stressful ride. I would definitely not move right now for money, and in general, I would balance job hopping for more pay vs. the stress / hassle of interviews and then maybe having your offer rescinded, getting laid off, etc. in your first week or getting the manager from hell. I definitely would never, ever, EVER consider startups. Even if you can jump for a huge TC bump, like 30%+, I would balance that against whether you're happy in your current role and whether you need the money. 30% more at 85k is life changing whereas at 150k you may not care that much unless you live in a very expensive area.
If you're looking right now, wish you the best of luck, and hang in there. If you're not getting some recruiter DMs, try the open to work banner or making a post. If you're not getting a lot of phone screens and/or interviews after DMs, grow suspicious of your resume, and see what you can do about improving it. There's a light at the end of the tunnel!

I have known this girl since we were both very young. We lived in apartments next to each other. I would always be in her backyard eating her food or hanging out. It started off fine. Normal friend stuff. She would start getting bossy, played rap music all the time that I didn't like, tried to get me to kiss her once, would be kind of rude if she didn't get her way. I don't really remember exactly how good of friends we were since it was a while ago. It would flip between us having fun and it being ruined by her attitude. Fast forward and I move away. No support. She used my facebook to flirt with random guys and her mom calls me. I don't know the password. We hung out a bit back at where I used to live. I couldn't make new friends at my old school. She was all I had and she knew this. She would steal my money. Ignore me to talk to her boyfriend. Pretend I wasn't talking and wasn't there to text her boyfriend. I was never important unless I had money or something to offer her. She moves a block away from me after a few months because of her parents wanting a safer place to live. She starts to steal, lie, ignore me even more to text her boyfriend. Use me for my moms car to go to malls to buy stuff. She would make me pay for a lot. She would steal stuff from malls and try to put things in my backpack at other stores. Only would steal for herself, her actual friends or her boyfriend, never for me. Lied to me on the Fourth of July after making me buy fireworks saying she went to her families. She was at her house the entire time with her boyfriend, my parents saw while driving past. Lied to her parents saying I couldn't come. Made me come over after saying she came back because she wanted to blow off the fireworks I bought. Because she was out of them. A lot of stuff like this happening. Lying, knowing she was all I had and I wouldn't leave. I cut her off with no explanation January 2021 after a pretty bad mental meltdown. She kept texting and calling but I would ignore. I changed my mind and decided to be friends with her again somewhere around March of 2022. It got worse again. Fine at first. Made me drive her and her boyfriend around, kept stealing money from me, used me as a personal uber because only I could drive. I'm 18. She's 20. Turning 21 this year. No job. Never had one. Depends on her parents. Dropped out in 3rd grade to take care of her special needs sister. Dropped out of online school again because she was lazy. Has her I.D. that's it. Steals her parents jewelry to sell for money. Bought her boyfriend a car with that money. Brags about her man but she cheats on him. Stole 500 dollars once and counting from me and my parents when money was out and we weren't looking. Makes me give her my bag to "hold" so she can potentially steal my money in it. (Successfully done too many times) I know no one can "make me" but she was all I had and I was naive and didn't want to think my only friend sucked. I don't know how to drop her. But I know I have to. I have no other friends. (Dropped or dropped me, I have social anxiety and its difficult to meet new people) I'm ready to reset my life and I don't see her in it.

I have 3 classes at Kings on Tuesdays spanning from 8:30 in the morning to 9:30 at night, 8 hours in total. I am not going to make it through without a nap or 2 but I live way too far away from Kings to go back and forth in the ~2 hours I have between each class. Are there any places to crash? Any indiscrete couches? Or should I try to seriously rework my schedule.

Give it up for the duo runners: Swiftalu and Sparkle, with couch co: Ryziken and Theeonlyjuan, with host: Nichole Goodnight!
Man! What a race! Neck and neck, barely 1 battle length between the runners most of the run.
Another game I grew up playing and was an honor to watch live.
Sweet poem read outs, lovely reasons behind all the little time saves and wonderful overall atmosphere!
AND WE HIT 1 MILLION DURING THE RUN - Aswell as many incentives!!!!!
Well. Onwards and upwards to 1.5M and the next game!

Rukarath was one of only a few thousand left.
Though the galaxy at large made overtures of how the Andaran genocide was horrible, how his people did not deserve to be slaughtered, how there must be something that can be done.
Little attention was brought to the fact that many of these fair-weather allies refused to release their Andaran slaves out of the kindness of their own hearts, so that his people could rebuild and repopulate. Little attention was kept on how refugees were turned away, because they didn't want overpopulation, they didn't want people who might be unwilling to assimilate into their society.
Their planet taken, overrun by their aggressors who continue to flaunt their victory, their ships badly damaged and barely capable of sustaining so many people... If it weren't for the Humans, the history of his people would have ended in tragedy, burned away by the fires of war.
Sanctuary Cities were established, starting with temporary prefabricated housing and cheap, mass-produced bedding, clothing that- no matter how large it was made, was still too tight to be worn. Gardens replete with food that was just barely enough to feed everyone with rationing.
It was still far more than any other had given, and it was explicitly stated, written in contract, that this aid was given freely, with no expectation of reciprocation, no debt.
But beyond this, they would have to work, to pay for their own needs, or accept the charity of those who wanted to do more.
The Andarans were a proud species who were well-known for being capable of working for days on end without needing sleep- though they would need to sleep at least an entire day, depending on how overworked they were.
Nobody took advantage of this quirk in their biology to force them to work entire days at a time- there were labor laws, of course, and there was a set amount of time they could work. It was still far better than their brethren in bondage got.
Rukarath was not able to work most jobs, due to his PTSD. Not wanting to be a burden, he desperately searched for something- anything- that would allow him to support his people- even the most meager of work would suffice.
His heart sank when he saw the advertisement, but he knew it was his only option on such short notice.
The zoo was full of Humans, among which were non-Human tourists wanting to see Terran animals from the safety of the outside of the enclosure. He was given free admission- just this once- because he had inquired regarding their advertisement, he had a right to know what he was getting into.
The Alien Fauna exhibit was divided by a wall, only a few visitors were allowed at a time. Rukarath was allowed entry with no fuss, aside from an irate Human who loudly asked why he was given special treatment.
He ignored them, and simply observed the enclosures.
There were sapients inside, their habitats effectively being housing equivalent to what was expected on their planet, with appropriate flora. He observed a Tuvati in the process of undergoing spiritual cleansing, undoubtedly a fascinating sight to those ignorant of their ways.
In a way, it was upsetting. To be displayed so openly to the public, barely allowed privacy for spiritual peace.
He wasn't certain if he wanted to go through with this, but he knew it was his only option.
He hadn't noticed the visitor section had emptied, hadn't really registered the passage of time as he stared into each enclosure. It was only a voice, speaking his mother tongue in a halting manner, that caught his attention.
<'You must be', taajan.> Rukarath answered. It was a male Human, tall for his species, but still shorter than he.
"Apologies, I don't often have opportunities to speak Adata." The Human attempted a respectful bow, but it was sloppy. Rukarath responded in kind with a more fluid and graceful movement.
"Who are you to know me, taajan?" He asked.
"I'm Seymour Anderson, my parents called me Ajantar." The Human replied. Rukarath understood. It wasn't common for other species to be adopted by non-members, it explained Ajantar's halting fluency, and lack of practice.
It was entirely likely he volunteered to meet with him.
"Allow me to correct a grave dishonor, kuujan Ajantar." The way the Human smiled indicated he preferred his Andaran name.
"There is no dishonor." Ajantar answered. "I understand you're here regarding the position." Rukarath nodded grimly. "You don't want to do it, yet honor dictates you must." Rukarath nodded. "I understand. I do not want to subject you to anything that is unpleasant, kuujan. Honor dictates that I must."
It was heartening to have understanding in his situation. He simply gave him a slight dip of the head in acknowledgement.
"The contract we have with our enclosure employees and fairly straightforward, but I'll go over the most important details." Ajantar spoke. "You are here of your free will, and are allowed to leave at any time of your free will. While giving a two weeks notice is preferred for quitting, you are under no obligation to do so. You are free to retreat to a more private area if you are overwhelmed, you will be provided what comforts we can, and you are more than welcome to bring with you anything that allows for that. And most importantly, you have the right to refuse service to any visitors for any reason."
This last tidbit startled Rukarath. "Yet the Tuvati was undergoing spiritual cleansing before us, is that not a breach of their privacy?" He asked.
"Avathan has expressed he wishes to do so, to teach us that- though it may seem strange to us- it is a deeply religious and spiritual act, and he has on more than one occasion spoken to our guests about it." Ajantar replied. "It is understood our visitors are not allowed to harass our enclosure employees, and that doing so will result not only in immediate removal from the premises of the zoo, but they will be banned."
This made Rukarath less concerned. "I understand the pay is double the galactic standard." He said.
"Of course, you're being displayed in front of hundreds of people wanting to gawk at something they've never seen before. Even then, that's only the starting fee. Some of our enclosure employees work here full time, using this as their primary residence simply because the payment is enough to support their family elsewhere. You're guaranteed full medical coverage- both physical and mental- culturally appropriate food is provided at the appropriate meal times, and family is more than welcome to visit for free- whether that's in the enclosure, or as guests. We can go over the finer details, kuujan, over a cup of rugata, if you are comfortable with this."
Rukarath nodded. He would do anything if it meant ensuring his people were taken care of, and though this man was another species, he was no less family.
Honor dictated he would be cared for.

I guess this has been discussed many times here since its a classic. I rewatched it recently and was able see beyond the people involved, more about the big picture, what this meant for the whole industry. What are your thoughts?

WARNING: MENTIONS OF R*PE.
TL;DR - My abusive mother threatens my fiancé for a crime he didn't commit because I wouldn't tell her which hotel we were staying at, in fear that either she or the police would arrive at our hotel room.
To start off, I (18 m) and my fiancé (20 m) had planned a weekend together. We were going to a brand new hotel in town, and planned on it being exclusively a "fun" weekend, if you catch my drift. (I swear that detail is important). My fiancé lives about 6 hours away from me in another state, so he had flown here just for this trip. So as I'm leaving my mother's home, I tell her that I'm leaving, and the conversation goes something like this.
Op: Hey mom, I'm leaving. I'll be back on Monday. M: Oh? Where are you going? Op: To a hotel with (fiancé) M: Which hotel? Op: Why do you want to know? M: Because I want to check on you. Op: I'm not telling you where I'm going. I'm 18.
She then proceeded to get angry with me and yelled at me how she's worried about me since I won't tell her where I'm going. She then threatens to call the police (which is common practice when she doesn't get her way).
(This is all word for word) M: Fine. I'm calling the police! Op: For what?!? M: gets inches away from my face, with an evil smirk For statutory r*pe.
My jaw dropped. I immediately yelled back that she was going to make a false police report on him, MY FIANCÉ, for a crime he didn't commit. She then goes on to explain that I lied about his age before, and that she's "extremely concerned" for me. Me and my fiancé had been dating for almost 2 years at that point, and if she was really concerned, she would have called the police on him already. Also the "lie" that I told her about was that he was turning 19 when he was actually turning 20. He's 2 years older than me and we met when I was 16 and he was 19 (which i turned 17 seven days after we started dating. And since we were an online couple for the first 4 months, nothing happened). The fun times we had were all legal in my state, since the age of consent is 16, and he had to be 4 years older than me for it to be even considered r*pe. I tripled checked the laws. What we had done was legal. And I told her the truth once she actually met him for the first time (4 months after dating). I had lied because she thinks that everyone on the internet is an old man trying to get in your pants. She wasn't "concerned". She just wanted to know where I was so she could stalk me. Or worse, call the police on him. So I left before I could tell her where we were going and told my fiancé right away. The whole trip was almost ruined because my fiancé's mom was begging me to convince my fiancé to come back home because this charge would ruin his life. He didn't do anything, but his mom is convinced that he is a pedo, or I guess is somehow guilty? (It's really funny coming from someone who's married to someone 20 years older than her. Same story with my mom. And here they are, complaining about a 2 year difference.) After he had gone back to the state he was living in, he texted my mom and told her that if a false police report was filed, he would take everything from her in court. Ever since then, she's been saying that he "threatened" her, which is fucking rich coming from her. I just can't wait to go no-contact. She's made my life miserable, and this situation just pushed me over the edge. Now he's not allowed in her house, so he can't help me move my things. And I've never dropped the subject with her. I don't mention it all the time, but when I did this most recent time, she said "You must have told (fiancé) an exaggerated story. I never said those things to you." Well, I was furious, and that conversation ended quickly. I'm someone who can remember song lyrics after listening to it once. I can remember EXACTLY what she said. Word for word. And that's exactly what I told my fiancé. She just doesn't want to take responsibility and is acting like the victim in all this. I mean hell, I'm not going to ask her which hotel SHE'S staying at with her husband. It's none of my business. And if she was really worried about my safety, she could've just told me and I would've told her which hotel. But she just wanted to keep an eye on me. It's creepy.

Building a character and torn between different levels of flavor and effectiveness!
Setting: West Marches PbP server, so wide variety of party compositions. Got a friend that I’m bringing into the server, though, and they want to try and group up as much as possible. They’re playing a genie warlock eldritch blaster with high DEX and CHA, probably single class, so I figured I’d try to at least compliment that character a bit.
I rolled decent stats: 18, 15, 15, 12, 11, 8. I think some sort of melee frontliner would compliment the warlock nicely. Probably avoiding paladin to spread stat strengths around between the two of us.
Build Ideas! ~Barbarian/Rogue multiclass. Beast and Soulknife sounds really fun. Seems pretty tough and useful outside of combat. Almost like a Wolverine/Psylocke/Spider-Man hybrid. Bear Totem would be a lot more survivable though, especially at higher levels. Magical weapons also seem like they get straight up better as characters advance (better hit/dmg bonuses and sometimes even additional effects). The server is fairly liberal with magic items but strictly avoids homebrew stuff, so I’m concerned that relying on claws/psi blades would eventually feel bad.
~Melee Cleric of some kind. I’ve only played a Light Cleric before, but Spirit Guardians seems potent for someone hanging out in the thick of it. No idea how to optimize them for melee though and not sure about out of combat utility.
~Fighter: I’m already playing a Rune Knight and an Echo Knight in other games/servers, so I was avoiding doubling up on those subclasses. Unpopular opinion maybe, but I didn’t find Battle Master all that much fun so I’m not keen on trying it again. Maybe in a steady group where I could better plan maneuvers. Maybe a Samurai or Eldritch Knight though? I’ve always thought of Samurai as a better archer than melee and EK as tanky but awkward with cantrips vs attacks, but I’m open to suggestions!
~Druid: Moon maybe? Never played a Druid and they don’t seem built for frontlines. But again, feel free to enlighten me!
~Monk: Seems a bit too fragile and I’m not a huge fan how disjointed most builds seem. Counter points welcome!
~Artificer: Done a lot of reading about Armorer and Battle Smith. I tend to go in circles and not know how I want to build them. Seems Battle Smith would actually be a stronger archer than GWM user, and I can’t decide if Armorer would be fun or frustrating.
~Honorable mention to Blood Hunter. They’re allowed on the server but anytime I start to read up on them, I struggle to have any sort of vision of how to play them. I’ve seen archer builds recommended, which doesn’t fit what I’m going for.
So yeah, thanks for reading this far! Thoughts/advice/personal experiences are all welcome and appreciated!
TL;DR - trying to build a melee frontliner that’s not charisma based, useful outside of combat, but struggling. Races flexible, decent rolled stats (can possibly start with a 20!)

That sticks on filthy deeds.

im trying to pick up another gacha to alternate b/w honkai star rail cuz theres just no content til next patch. wanna no-life something for the weekend.

​

So, in the purple tape where Amanda is reciting the words the director told her to say; I know people know already but people assume that when she says “bye yell”, “pie man” and “baa lamb” are names of demons names Bael, Paimon and Balam. I wondered if you type any of their names in any possible text box where you have to answer questions it might do something? Maybe when Amanda asks if who can help us (I forgot exactly what happened) maybe type in the demons names? I’d really appreciate if someone tests this and comes back to see if anythings happens since I don’t have the game myself. Much appreciated!

Posted this in the Zelda forum, but figured it would be appropriate here too so, here we go..
So I (25f) just moved into my boyfriend’s (31m) apartment in January and brought my switch over bc we are both Zelda fanatics and he wanted to play BOTW which I was cool with because it was my all time favorite game, and I love watching game play just as much as actually playing. All was good… until… they released TOTK.
He works during the day and I’m a streamer so I work at night, but I’m spending my days running our errands so I don’t have much time to play during the day.
But man when I tell you…. TOTK absolutely SHITS on BOTW. In the beginning I was only letting myself play for 2 hours before he got home from work then I would cook dinner.
That slowly crept into me playing more after he went to bed. Then i started playing after dinner while he was watching tv, i would bring the console out on the porch so we could still spend physical time together. Then it crept into me playing on the tv in a different room completely neglecting him. When I tell you, there is absolutely NO sense of time when playing this game. It just basically doesn’t exist. I feel like I’m on it 45 minutes then boom - it’s 5 am. I basically am getting in bed when he’s getting up to go to work. I just downloaded it last week and I’ve already logged 50 freaking HOURS!
This happened three nights in a row, and it’s starting to be a problem obviously… but last night was the last straw. As he was going to bed he told me it was time to get off and I should go to bed, he tried to physically grab my controller and I YANKED IT OUT OF HIS HAND LIKE A CRACKHEAD. It’s getting so bad I’m also not streaming hardly at all and I’ve been canceling all of my plans with friends, family, etc.
I kept playing that night until 1 am when my TV started tilting off the mount. I’ll try and paint a picture here, but there’s like a big glass tv stand under the Tv that’s also mounted to the wall that’s a fire place and holds our consoles.
Anyways, I’m pretty short so I had to put my knee up on it to tilt the TV back and the whole glass stand fell off the wall and SHATTERED ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!! ALL BC I COULDNT GET OFF THE GAME.
Obviously he heard this loud ass bang and came out and just laughed at me (like when you’re so angry you just laugh instead of scream) and told me to leave (I have a 2nd apartment in the same building where I do my streaming) so I went down there and was freaking out.
So what do I do? It’s 2 am, I refuse to leave that mess just sitting there for me to wake up and see and be reminded of my severe TOTK addiction. So naturally, I call my usual handyman and shockingly he answers!!! It’s 2 am! He said he can be there in 30 minutes.
I meet him in the parking garage and he brought this huge truck with a trailer of tools hitched up and it was a nightmare getting him to park!!! Finally we get up to the sh*tshow of destruction apartment and… boom.. he locked me out…
So I have to start banging on the door waking this poor man up AGAIN and he answers the door NAKED AND SEES ME STANDING THERE WITH A RANDOM GUY AND A TOOL BOX AT 3 am!!!!!!
He just looks at me shakes his head let’s us in and goes to bed. I tell handyman we gotta be quick and quiet but this has to fixed asap. he started to fix it but begins DRILLING IT INTO THE WALL WHICH IS THE WALL CONNECTED TO THE BED ROOM (what a nightmare)
Obviously bf is beyond pissed. Whatever, tv stand fireplace thing is fixed. But guess what I decide to do? Take my switch and KEEP PLAYING IN THE CLOSET. I black out at some point, probably around 5 am,with no recollection of anything after I got in the closet, sprawled out on the carpet floor, controller STILL IN MY HAND and a side of ranch and a quesadilla in the other. I crawl into our bed and woke up at around 10:30 am.
I start looking for my switch. I look in the closet, the bedroom, the living room, ….. it’s no where.
I go down to our second apartment where my boyfriend is working, we both use it for work, thinking maybe I brought it down there? Nope.
I sit down look him in the eyes and go “where’s the switch”he just smiles…. And says “you know where it is :)”
Then it dawned on me. “You put it in your f*cking safe didnt you”
“Yup :)”
I LOSE MY MINDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
Like I know I was getting realllly addicted, but I’m mostly pissed bc ATLEAST LET ME BEAT THE GAME AND I PROMISE ILL NEVER PLAY IT AGAIN. The thing about these Zelda games is is that they’re really never over lol. When will I be getting back you ask? We may never know…
I know it’s probably for my own good and the good of our relationship, but I’m so pissed right now I can’t hardly speak to him I wanna cry and scream and I feel like I’m going through withdrawals. I love him but I also want to unalive him and myself.
If you care about anything good in this world, don’t download TOTK because you WILL care about Hyrule more.
TLDR: TIFU by letting my severe Zelda addiction making me broke financially, romantically, and physically (broke our tv console stand). Bf locked it in his safe and now I’m grieving and depressed. play at your own risk….

Hey mama hive!
I am officially 38+1 weeks! Little man is scheduled arrive June 15th, although I wouldn’t be mad if he came a bit sooner…he is large and very much in charge these days. 🤣
I’ve had a lot of symptoms of “lightening”…including lower back pain, hip pain, increased discharge, and the ever-so-lovely lightening crotch. However my belly is still sitting high and little man’s feet are firmly tangling themselves in my right rib as we speak!
If you have (and I know everyone is different)…what week did your belly drop? What symptoms did you have preceding lightening OR after? If you have had your wee one…how long before labor did lightening occur?
Thanks in advance!!😁

But I mean all of his aliases, (MF DOOM, Viktor Vaughn, Zev Love X, King Geedorah, Etc) and why do you think that is, I had this conversation with my friends in class and we all came to the conclusion it was The mouse and The Mask, because of how little we hear it get talked about, but most if not all of the albums tracks are amazing, anyways give me your reasoning and what you think it is.

Nestled in northern Lawrence County, Indiana, just six miles from Bedford, lies Ramsey Ridge Road. Just under three miles in length, the rural pathway once referred to as “Skin Ridge'' winds through the sparsely populated area’s dense woods atop a hill overlooking Little Salt Creek and nearby Bartlettsville. In the 1970’s, two completely unrelated deaths occurred within the confines of a modest green house that once stood along the ridge. Referred to by locals as “The Mysteries of Skin Ridge,” this is the story of the unusual deaths of Dennis McArthur, and Gerry Lee.
Dennis McArthur
On April 11, 1976, 44-year-old Pearl McArthur returned home after a lengthy stay at Madison State Hospital. Pearl, who would later be diagnosed with schizophrenia, had committed herself to the hospital in early December, leaving her 18-year-old son, Dennis, to care for the house in her absence. Accompanied by her 23-year-old daughter, April, who lived in nearby Bedford with her husband Gary, Pearl made her way inside the small two-story farmhouse.
Inside, Pearl and April found the home in complete disarray. Trash laid strewed about, lamps and furniture were overturned, and the stove was caved in, its exhaust pipe torn from the wall. It was unusually cold inside as though no heat had been recently used, and a strange smell permeated the air.
Alarmed, Pearl and April began to frantically search for Dennis. As they made their way over to a small couch located in a bedroom on the second floor, they noticed a pile of blankets lying on the sofa. As Pearl peeled back the layer of quilts, she was met with a horrific scene; Dennis’s decomposed body lay beneath the bedding. They immediately summoned police.
Dennis was found in a fetal position on the couch, facing inwards. Although covered by quilts, he was nude from the waist down. The coroner estimated he had died one to two months prior, however the cold weather had, in part, delayed the decomposition process making it difficult to give an exact time of death. During an autopsy, it was discovered that Dennis was severely emaciated, to the point of starvation. No evidence of external or internal injuries were found.
Police discovered several bottles of pills in the home; vitamins used for energy, an antidepressant, and a drug used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. All of the pills were prescribed to Pearl, and were still relatively full. A toxicology test was conducted and proved negative, however the state pathologist who performed the test admitted that the test was incapable of detecting substances such as LSD. He also explained due to the amount of time that had passed since his death, the tests might not be one hundred percent accurate. Dennis’ cause of death was listed as malnutrition and exposure.
Investigators found several clues at the scene that struck them as odd. Although the cabin appeared ransacked, nothing seemed to be missing, including a small amount of money that was found within the disheveled home. Along with money, a small amount of, now spoiled, food was found in the cabinets and refrigerator. An upstairs window was found to be broken from the inside. Also upstairs, investigators discovered several large pools of blood, including one beside the couch where Dennis’ body was found. They also found blood on the backside of the couch, on a rug, and on the kitchen door frame, along with splatter on a wall. Testing confirmed the blood to be human.
Dennis was well known to both police and the county’s social workers. His mother, Pearl, was frequently in and out of mental institutions leaving Dennis and his two siblings to fend for themselves. The children’s father, Walter, had abandoned the family and moved to Georgia years prior. In 1972, Dennis was arrested for theft and truancy. That same year, he was expelled from school and never returned.
He was again arrested in 1973, this time for driving without a license, fleeing from police, possession of alcohol, and curfew violation. After his release, Dennis was sent to live with a man named Al Hagopian, a case worker for the Youth Services Bureau. Al was quoted as saying; “Finding him a place to stay was hard. The house where he had been staying was pretty grubby, and the state thought he was too young to live alone. His mother was in and out of hospitals a lot and he worried about her constantly. He didn’t want to return home, but said he had to go back to help care for his mother.”
Al discovered that Dennis “read and wrote backwards,” and was “practically illiterate.” After reviewing Dennis’ school records, he found multiple instances where teachers labeled Dennis as having disciplinary problems when it came to schoolwork, however not once did they mention he had a clear learning disability. Al further explained that attempts to secure employment for Dennis were nearly never successful. Aside from being unable to read or write, he had no vehicle. He also had no stable address or phone number and was oftentimes dirty and dressed in near rags.
Dennis’ unfair hand he had been dealt did not stop him from trying to act like an average kid most of the time, Al added. He explained that Dennis had an interest in cars, enjoyed hanging out with his friends, and was always chasing girls. He had also told Al he wanted to someday save up enough money for a new guitar, as he loved to play music. Al admitted that Dennis was also into the “street scene” and had dabbled in drugs and alcohol. Dennis returned home after two months of living with Al.
In 1974, after another arrest and his subsequent release from a youth detention center, Dennis went to live with his father for a short time. Dennis’ arrest had made headlines when it was learned the young man had been kept with adult men for a long period before being transferred to the youth detention center. Dennis and Walter reportedly couldn’t get along, however, and Dennis ran away to Florida. He lived there for a few months, washing cars to make money, before returning to the home on Ramsey Ridge in Indiana in 1975. He was again arrested, this time in Bloomington, Indiana for carrying a concealed weapon, alcohol consumption, and curfew violation. At the time of Dennis’ death, the charges against him were still pending.
According to his sister, April, she had gone to visit Dennis at the home on Ramsey Ridge on Christmas Eve. April said Dennis was sitting on the couch, playing his guitar. He also showed her a new rug he had purchased for the home. According to her, he seemed his usual self and the home was clean. April offered him some money, however Dennis refused claiming he had enough to get by.
Lucy Lively, an aunt of Dennis’ who lived “within hollering distance,” claimed she entered the home on February 1st to turn off a lamp that had been left burning. While she did not see Dennis, she claimed the home's interior was in normal order. Joe McArthur, Dennis’ paternal grandfather who also lived nearby, said it was not unusual for Dennis to disappear for long periods, so he thought nothing of the youths' absence as of late.
When Walter, Dennis’ father, was informed of his son's death, he informed police that Dennis, along with two male friends, had come to visit him in Georgia in mid December. He gave a description of the two teens and told police they had been introduced to him as “John Boy'' and “Blonde John.”
Police were able to track down “Blonde John” who was identified as 18-year-old John Fonk of Bloomington, Indiana. John told investigators that he and Dennis had driven to Florida together in October, not December, as Walter had stated. John explained they had stopped by Walter’s home in Georgia on their way back home. He was confident in the date as he had joined the Air Force in December. He also explained that “John Boy” had been a hitchhiker they had picked up along the way. According to John, “John Boy” rode back to Indiana with the pair, but he had not seen him, or Dennis since. He described him as being in his mid 20’s. After learning of the discrepancy in Walter’s story, police again tried to contact him, however phone calls and letters went unanswered. Unfortunately, they were never able to identify “John Boy.”
Further questioning of social services showed that Pearl had filled several grocery orders provided by state services, however the orders ceased when she had been again hospitalized. Eventually the Lawrence County Welfare Office had taken control and promised to look in on Dennis, however they could provide no evidence they had followed up on the case. They suggested that Dennis, overwhelmed with his impoverished lifestyle, had simply starved himself to the point of being comatose, before succumbing to the harsh cold of winter. They were quoted as saying “We were aware of him of course, but he never came to us. We don’t go looking for people if they don’t come to us for help. Now if he had, we would have done something.”
The local sheriff as well as members of Dennis’ family were unsatisfied with Dennis’ listed cause of death and continued to pursue the investigation for several months. Unfortunately due to a lack of funds, more elaborate tests that may have presented some clue as to how Dennis died could not be conducted. Sheriff Robbins was quoted as saying, “This is a very disturbing mystery, because even if someone confessed to killing him, I doubt we would have the evidence to prove it. But it sure is hard to believe he could kill himself like that, by just laying down and dying. We aren’t closing the case, it will remain open. But until we have something more to go on, there’s not much more we can do at this point.”
Dennis was laid to rest at Heltonville’s Gilgal Cemetery. Few attended the modest closed casket funeral and subsequent burial. One journalist gave a last description of Dennis’ final resting place,
“The dogwood trees are in full bloom on the hillsides of Gilgal Cemetery, and though Dennis’ body now rests peacefully beneath a carpet of fallen petals, his soul will surely never rest until the reasons behind his death are discovered.”
Pearl, Dennis’ mother, passed away in 2000 at the age of 67. Walter, Dennis’ father, died in 1988. His sister, April, passed away suddenly in 2006 at the age of 53. Dennis also had an older brother, Gordon, who passed away in 1994 at the age of 42.
Gerry Lee
On the evening of May 28, 1978, police were again summoned to the little green house on Ramsey Ridge. The home was now occupied by 27-year-old Gerry Lee, a divorced self employed carpenter, and his roommate, 25-year-old Michael Davis. When police arrived, Michael informed them that Gerry had committed suicide.
Gerry was found hanging from a maple tree located 20 feet from the home's front porch. The rope had been tied off to a branch approximately 10 feet above the ground and fashioned into a noose. His feet were found to be touching the ground, and his knees were bent. Blood was discovered on Gerry’s hands and pants, despite having suffered no visible wounds. An autopsy would reveal that Gerry had died of asphyxiation as a result of a fracture to his cricoid cartilage located at the base of his larynx. The coroner stated this was not an injury normally associated with suicidal hangings, but instead blunt force trauma to the throat. Inside, more blood was found on a television set, the phone, and on the kitchen floor. A window on the home's back door had been broken from the outside, leaving shards of glass lying on the kitchen floor.
When questioned, Michael gave an explanation for the unusual findings. He claimed that he, Gerry, and two other friends, Mike Oakly and Roberta Chandler, had spent the day in nearby Bedford before the foursome returned to the home on Ramsey Ridge. There, Michael told police that he and Gerry got into a “friendly scuffle” that resulted in Michael falling into the window in the kitchen. He suffered a deep laceration to his forehead that left him bleeding profusely.
According to Michael, Roberta and Mike accompanied him to seek medical treatment in Bedford, while Gerry stayed behind at home. Michael returned home alone from the hospital, having left Roberta and Mike in town. It was then he discovered Gerry’s body and summoned police. He added that that evening Gerry had threatened to shoot himself multiple times with one of the loaded guns kept in the home.
When Roberta and Mike were taken in for questioning, they gave similar accounts of the night's events. Both were released. Aside from having a visible wound, medical staff confirmed Michael had been to the hospital that evening, having sought treatment for a laceration to his forehead.
Still, both the prosecutor and the county coroner stated they were not entirely satisfied with a verdict of suicide. The coroner stated “Some things have not fallen into place like they should with a suicide case. Although it looks as though it could be a suicide, there are so many angles that do not fit in with the suicide verdict.” The prosecutor agreed, “I’m not satisfied with how the investigation was handled,” he said, “and there are still a lot of unanswered questions. Several months later, Gerry’s case was brought before a grand jury who ultimately returned a verdict of “probable suicide.”
Gerry was laid to rest in Bedford’s Breckenridge Cemetery. Despite his death being declared a suicide, many locals, including Gerry’s friends and neighbors, continued to believe that something more sinister may have happened that evening, and the suicide was in fact staged. The community’s more superstitious elders shared a similar belief, however adding that a “strange ethereal force” inhabited the room where Gerry once slept, and where two years prior the body of Dennis had been discovered.
Whatever your opinion may be, it seems for some the books will never fully be closed on “The Mysteries of Skin Ridge.”
