There may be a wider coverup going on here. Thomas Arleon Kinsley, also facing child sex charges, supposedly committed suicide by hanging himself with a bedsheet in his cell on Jun 20th, which was three days before Massey. Kinsley died in the Edgecombe County Detention Center, just outside Tarboro, NC. Harold Massey owned three funeral homes in Jackson, Aulander, and Roanoke Rapids, which are all about a half-hour drive from Tarboro. He lived in Halifax, which is even closer.

Kinsley goes by "Thom Kinsley" on Twitter and Facebook, but there's nothing on Facebook and next to nothing on Twitter. He was a machinist, married twice, five kids in total, and so far nothing connects him to Massey. But the timing and geographical closeness are suspicious.

Question: Are these two photos of the same person? http://nsor.tbi.tn.gov/showimg.ashx?8Qhqy9bZWa/vl13tBSZrbw== and http://manage.directorsadvantage.net/image.php//uploads/jerry1.jpg?height=264&width=176&image=/uploads/jerry1.jpg

Jerry Dixon was convicted of raping a child in Tennesse in 2004 but could have moved to North Carolina when released from prison. Don't know how long he was incarcerated. In NC, you're eligible to petition for removal from requirement for SO registration in 10 years. http://legalbeagle.com/6540705-north-sex-offender-registry-laws.html But what if your new boss is buds with the sheriff?

I'm 95% convinced it's the same guy.

Why do all the staff pictures look like someone took a picture of another picture for the website? These photos are likely not current pics.

Wow, he looks sleazy AF.

Taking him out serves two major purposes:

  1. Stops the investigation.
  2. Sends a message to anyone else that if they step out of line in any way (including being "sloppy") they will die.

"Sheriff Tripp posted on Facebook that he offered his “sincere condolences to the Massey family on Harold’s passing. I have been lifelong friends with this family,” he said."

Did the Sheriff offer any sympathy to Massey's victims or did he share them?

SoldierofLight

And what's behind that message? He could have just stayed silent but he's blasting it out there that he was aligned with the guy and his family. I wonder if the guy's family are actually running things and the sheriff works for them. There is clearly so much more going on behind the scenes than what we're being told.

Laskar

Agreed.

It seems like the usual "we have so much power that we can throw this in your face and you can't do anything about it".

SoldierofLight

My thinking too. They've been doing this for so long they think the good ole days will last forever.

"Charges against Massey will be dismissed once the district attorney’s office receives the official copy of his death certificate, which is North Carolina law." How convenient it is for Sheriff Tripp to no longer have to pursue any further investigation that might have been embarrassing to the Sheriff and perhaps other "upstanding" townsfolk.

"Sheriff Tripp posted on Facebook that he offered his “sincere condolences to the Massey family on Harold’s passing. I have been lifelong friends with this family,” he said."" What about the victims?

Littleredcorvette

So, if I wanted to "start over," all I would need to do is make friends with local law enforcement and coroner (or pay them), die from a health problem, get a death certificate issued, be "cremated" and boom. Instant start all over card.

No jail for you. You go straight to hell.

OK. everyone involved around that business should be investigated. Also, higher ups, including Sheriff Wes Trip. Something smells rotten.

Funeral home:

A place to purchase coffins with no questions asked. 🤔

A place to cremate bodies 🤔🤔

A way to bury bodies without anyone being the wiser 😳

Factfinder2

I think funeral homes, especially in areas frequented by elites and other pizzagate types, should be an active area of inquiry for us. As you say, so easy to do away with the evidence.

Factfinder2

Here are the remaining staff members of Massey Funeral Homes: http://www.haroldmasseyfuneralhome.com/our-staff Have to wonder how much some or all of them know about the points you're making.

Someone I respect very much told me to read everything even though it may upset me and then use it like a weapon (Foucalt) So I am going to talk about something that is already making me cry. When those children were raped by him and others were the always alive? This is something that we must talk about. Were children abused and then buried there or cremated? How can we find this out. Have any come forward, are there missing children we can connect any of them to? Yes what you mention is all very important. And it is also even more sad when children are involved. @SeanBox

The sherriff was lifelong friends with the kid fucker... Seems like a clue.
