this is my uncle and you listen up he did not commit homicide he died of heart failure so get your fax righti miss him
ReplyDeleteI just saw this due y to was searching for him. Could never see him doing harm to hhis self. What really happen?
DeleteThe Biggest Question I have here is..."IF" the autopsy came back as a "Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound...Why is His Nephew telling you He died from "Heart Failure"?
ReplyDeleteMost Important Whats the Truth? Whats being told to the Family? And Where's the Full Proof of His Autopsy?
I went threw something when I was 15. Larry was my Investigater along with Tommy Bryant. Know both. Larry told the Truth with My Investigation from the Very Beginning. I have Mad Respect for This Wonderful Man. I Believe He deserves Justice, and We also Deserve for the Truth to be known.
Tommy Bryant refused to comment on Larry Wands Homicide Investigation. I get it He Has The Right To Remain Silent. However Tommy Bryant was also doing some very crooked underhand stuff, and He also "Commit Suicide?"
With all due Respect I know a whole lot more about a whole lot more around Erath County among others, and if I must "Tell The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But The Truth So Help Me God" I know better, and so do MANY Others that remain silent from fear of sturring up the hornets nest.
Law Enforcement in General are put in place under oath to Tell The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But The Truth So Help You God. To Protect, and Serve Us. Who do We have to depend on if it's a double edged sword We can no longer Trust, and Often have to question?
