3 months ago I posted a writeup about Robbin Slaughter, a 37-year-old man who vanished without a trace while walking to a convenience store in Owensboro, KY in 1993—NAMUS has forwarded my potential match with the Cleveland John Doe to law enforcement for DNA comparison!
Hi everyone! I was inspired by u/TheBonesofAutumn to post an update on Robbin Lewis Slaughter's case (original post included below) which I did a write-up on a few months ago. I had identified a set of remains from a male homicide victim found in a chimney in Cleveland as a potential match for Robbin and submitted the match to NAMUS for consideration. A few days ago, I received an email from the program officer letting me know that he will be forwarding the match to both law enforcement agencies for a potential DNA comparison! Also, I am currently working on an extensive write-up of the case of Toni Danieelle Clark which has been nearly 3 years in the making (I've interviewed her family and friends as well as the law enforcement officers originally assigned to her case over the past few months in addition to FOIA requests) so stay tuned! My goal is to submit it to a newspaper as a long-form investigative journalism piece but I will post it on here regardless (totally a shot in the dark, but if anyone here has experience pitching articles, I'd love to speak with you!). "A sweet and lovable person" Robbin Lewis Slaughter was born to Dorothy ‘Dot’ Slaughter and William J. Slaughter in Owensboro, KY in the predominately black West End neighborhood. By all accounts, Slaughter––who was 36-years-old at the time of his disappearance––was a bit of a homebody. He kept his social circle small and rarely ventured outside the 5 or 6 places he frequented in town. He didn’t drive and usually got around town on foot––even his workplace was 1.3 miles (less than a 30-minute walk) from his home. He didn’t drink, gamble, or go out on the town. Slaughter’s coworkers at the Owensboro Public Works Department described the 16-year-veteran clean-up crew member as a diligent and hard worker who was never late or missed a day of work. Rudd Slaughter, Robbin’s older brother, was also employed by the department as a sanitation truck driver and the pair would sometimes work together. “He’s a good worker. He’s very dependable,” said Cissy Gregson, director of Owensboro’s sanitation department. “He’s easygoing. He wouldn’t get in a confrontation with anybody.” Slaughter was extraordinarily close with his family. “Even though he was grown, he lived with my mom until a couple of months before he was married,” Slaughter’s sister Kitty Board said. Dot even had power of attorney over her son’s finances up until he married Lucinda. “He was a sweet and lovable person, but he needed looking after,” Board said. Robbin Slaughter married his childhood friend Lucinda in 1991 after a whirlwind romance. The pair went out a few times when Lucinda was 15, although the two didn’t begin dating seriously until 12 years later when they reconnected at church. After Lucinda was critically injured in a car accident in 1990, Robbin visited her regularly during the two months she was in the hospital. Lucinda says Robbin’s frequent visits convinced her of his caring nature and she started to see him as a potential father figure for her two daughters. Robbin’s family was skeptical of his budding romance and felt the couple was moving too fast. Both Slaughter’s brother and mother said they noticed a change in his behavior after the marriage. He used to like to listen to music and sports but “he cut back when he got married” according to Rudd. “He changed,” his brother recalled. “He wouldn’t come out as often. He settled down, just went to work and church.” Slaughter’s mother reported that after his marriage to Lucinda, he didn’t visit as often (he used to visit her once a month). His sister said that even after the marriage her family never accepted her brother’s wife and stepdaughters, and that there was a mutual agreement that “we don’t question each other’s lives." Lucinda herself readily admitted that Slaughter’s family didn’t get along with her, although she claims that she reconciled with Slaughter’s mother in the years following Robbin’s disappearance. Slaughter was the polar opposite of someone who would run away to start a new life. "He never went on any trips without family," said Slaughter's sister, Kitty Board. “He didn't stay away from home.... He never ventured out of his comfort zone. If you would say, 'Where's Robbin?' there were five or six places he could be." Timeline –– (Google Map of important locations) When Slaughter vanished on the evening of Saturday, November 14, 1993 it was a shock. “He’d not been out of state and very seldom out of town,” Board said. “He’s not the type of person who would plan to leave.” Slaughter’s wife Lucinda told police that that evening, at around 9pm, her husband left their home at 2714 West 10th Street to walk to Franey’s Food Mart which was a trip he made frequently. It was an unseasonably warm day for mid-November, with a high near 75 degrees. At night, however, the temperature dropped as a line of evening thunderstorms moved through the area so Slaughter chose to put his gray and blue sweater on over his athletic shirt. He was also wearing a pair of blue jeans and white tennis shoes. Lucinda said that Slaughter let her know that he would be back in around 40 to 45 minutes. She told police that her husband was not distraught when he left the house and did not notice anything strange about his behavior. The convenience store was less than a 15-minute walk from Slaughter’s home so it made a perfect destination for an evening walk. Of the two possible routes he could have taken, both went through quiet, tree-lined streets dotted with small single-family homes. Franey’s is located at the intersection of Cravens Avenue and Carter Road on the far west end of town. The southwest corner of this intersection marks the beginning of a vast expanse of farmland and open fields. On this night, however, Slaughter never made it inside the store. The next morning at around 9 or 9:30am Lucinda Slaughter knocked on Board’s door, inquiring as to whether Board had seen her brother. When Board said that she hadn’t, Slaughter reported her husband missing. Being a small, locally-owned chain, the cashier at Franey’s was familiar with Slaughter as he was a regular customer. Connie Carlisle, the cashier working on the night of Slaughter’s disappearance, told police that Slaughter never entered the store that evening, something which a review of surveillance footage from inside the store confirmed. One witness placed him in the parking lot at Franey’s but this report was never confirmed. “A (teen-age) boy talked with him in the parking lot, but he (Slaughter) never came in,” Carlisle later told a reporter. According to Carlisle, Slaughter and this boy “were friends.” The police apparently talked to the teenager Slaughter was last seen with but the boy denied talking with Slaughter and said he had only seen him in the parking lot. His mother and siblings quickly cast doubt on the idea that Slaughter chose to disappear––he was extremely close with his family and would never abandon them. Sgt. Michael Walker of the Owensboro Police Department’s criminal investigations bureau concurred with the family’s assessment, stating that “there were no extraordinary circumstances that stood out as to why he would fit the profile of someone who would want to get away from it all.” The police did not find anything in Slaughter’s background that indicated he had any reason to disappear. "He had family here," Sgt. Walker said. "There were no significant issues he was facing that would prompt him to take off without a word to anyone." Slaughter did not have any financial troubles or known enemies that might have led him to abandon his quiet life in Owensboro. Both Lucinda and Slaughter’s family said that he was happy in the marriage and that he cared deeply for his stepdaughters. Even if Slaughter wanted to leave Owensboro and start a new life elsewhere, he would need to either get a ride from someone or take public transportation because he didn’t have a car. A year and a half before Slaughter’s disappearance a new bus terminal opened at 1216 E. 2nd Street with daily service to Evansville and Henderson. The terminal is just over a 3 mile walk from the Franey’s Food Mart where Slaughter was last seen and would take him roughly an hour to travel there on foot. Besides, a number of Slaughter’s relatives lived close by. At the same time, there was no evidence a crime had taken place. Yet police see no other possibility aside from foul play. “They should have done this years ago”: Investigating (and excluding) Lucinda as a suspect The police investigation quickly hit a dead end in 1993, which is perhaps partially due to a number of problems impacting the department. Chief Ulysses Embry, a 40-year veteran of the Owensboro Police Department, retired in May of 1992 and left the department in need of new leadership. Tensions between the Police Department and City Hall reached a fever pitch in 1993 when disgruntled patrol officers with the Fraternal Order of Police organized a Back the Blue campaign. The department had also recently hired a number of new officers, most of whom were young and inexperienced. “The police department has got some young boys,” Embry told reporters in 1993. “These boys mean well, but they will learn that they have got the responsibility of their job.” The police were slow to investigate Slaughter's disappearance initially and none of the news reports mentions a search being conducted for him. The extent of the police investigation in 1993 appears to have consisted of two 'witness' interviews (the clerk and the teenage boy) and a review of surveillance footage from Franey's. It wasn't until 2002 that police are known to have conducted a physical search for Slaughter. Two searches of Lucinda Calhoun’s (she remarried in the years following Robbin's disappearance) former property at 2714 W. 10th Street were conducted in 2002 and a portion of the property was excavated after cadaver dogs alerted to the location. A separate portion of the adjoining backyard of 2710 W. 10th Street, Lucinda's mother's house, was also excavated. Officers originally identified Lucinda as a possible suspect in the early weeks of Slaughter’s disappearance based on rumors that she had harmed her husband. Lt. Ken Bennett declined to disclose how authorities obtained the new information but said that “it’s more detailed [...] than the earlier rumors." Lucinda gave police permission to search and excavate the backyard, but on the second day of the search police returned with a search warrant for the home on the property because they expected to conduct a “much more elaborate” search. [Photos of the search] Authorities dug two holes on Lucinda’s property––one 6-feet deep by 10-feet wide portion was excavated along the back fence with a second 3-feet deep by 3-feet wide excavation site in the center of the backyard. Before dawn on the second day of the search, detectives used Luminol inside the home to search for blood and seized a handful of items––including a door––for additional testing. “They said they would do this quietly, and they’re here at church time,” Lucinda told reporters during the search. “They should have done this nine years ago.” After the searches of Lucinda’s property came up empty in 2002, police officially classified Slaughter’s disappearance as a cold case. Lt. Bennett told the media at the time that the case would remain cold until new information surfaces. In the meantime, Lt. Bennett said that the Owensboro Police would continue to treat Slaughter’s disappearance as a noncriminal missing person case. Lucinda accused the police of harassment, claiming that they unfairly targeted her as a suspect in her husband’s disappearance. Members of the St. Louis-based Universal African People’s Organization joined Lucinda’s family and friends in gathering in front of Lucinda’s former home to provide moral support and call attention to what they described as "police harassment." Representatives of the group later met with Mayor Waymond Morris and Owensboro Police Chief John Kazlauskas. Morris told the media that he had a “very cordial conversation” with the group, although he dismissed the accusations of harassment as unfounded. “I just listened to what they said, and I told them I’d look into it,” Morris recalled. “They said they wanted me to look into possible harassment. I think they feel like that maybe on several different occasions the police department has been overaggressive in searching.” Police excluded Lucinda as a suspect in her husband's disappearance after the search in 2002. She has always maintained her innocence and continues to search for answers in his case. Racism While researching this case, I came across an online forum page for Owensboro where residents apparently discuss community issues (in reality it seems to be used to gossip/harass people). One of the posts, created a month ago, concerns Robbin’s nephew who still lives in the town and reads:
“I wonder if that loud mouth n***** still works at Hunter Douglas, I quit because I got sick of listening to his loud mouth, he is one worthless n*****!!!”
Obviously this is an anonymous comment posted online so it has to be taken with a grain of salt but the fact that the poster uses the n-word (which appears uncensored in the original post) is noteworthy. While Robbin’s social circle was small, the Slaughter family was well-known in Owensboro. Kitty Board was (and still is) heavily involved in the West End community and openly spoke out against the gun violence plaguing the neighborhood. In fact, Board was quoted extensively in the local newspaper four months prior to her brother's disappearance in an article about illegal firearms. The Owensboro police have also been accused of racial profiling and police brutality. The town has quite the storied legacy when it comes to questionable law enforcement tactics. In 1968, after a young black man named Jerry Brown was shot and killed at a local white-owned nightclub, protests broke out in “the Negro West End” of the city. 20 people were arrested. Then Mayor Irvin Terrill pledged to “dissolve the militant influence” which he claimed was behind the violent outbreak, namely, the “Negro gangs.” Police Chief Vernie Bidwell doubled down on the mayor’s threat, warning that the police were “tired” of being cursed by “young punks” and would crack down. Mayor Waymond Morris came under fire in 2000 for his lackluster response to protests over the fatal shooting of Tyrone Clayton Jr. Clayton was shot twice by Owensboro Police Officer Lorhn Frazier after he was pulled over for reckless driving. The Mayor sent a letter to NAACP attorney Evan Taylor to inform the group that he would no longer be meeting with them at city hall. Accidental death? There are hundreds of acres of farmland just 100 feet from the convenience store which one could ostensibly get lost in easily especially at night. The issue with this theory is that Slaughter disappeared in mid-November, which is after fall planting season. The fact that the field would have been recently plowed coupled with the flat terrain of the area would make it exceedingly difficult for someone to get lost. Satellite images show a small retention pond on this nearby farm located roughly 730 feet from intersection near Franey’s which could most easily be reached by walking parallel to the rear of the houses on Carter Road. The pond is bound by fields on three sides so it is possible that Slaughter wasn’t able to see it if he was walking in the dark. From what I was able to find out, the catch basin was created in 1987 by the local government to reduce flash flooding on Carter Road, so it would have been there at the time of Slaughter’s disappearance. Most retention ponds have a depth of 4-6 feet so if the water level was high, Slaughter (who was 5’ 7”) may not have been able to stand. If Slaughter didn’t know how to swim, it’s possible that he fell in and struggled to get his bearings on the thick layer of sediment on the bottom of the pond and drowned. Since his lungs would have filled with water, his body would have sunk to the bottom of the pond and subsequently covered by sediment. Retention ponds are typically dredged every 5-10 years, however, so if Slaughter’s body was there, I would assume that some of his remains would have been discovered. Also, because the retention pond appears to be owned by the city itself, they presumably would be able to search it without a warrant. Questions I honestly have nothing but questions about this case.
Did police ever search the area around Franey's food mart? From what I can tell, they only searched Lucinda's property. If they didn't search the area––why not? Did the police take the case seriously from the beginning?
Given the fact that Slaughter's mother had power of attorney over his finances until he was in his 30s and he didn't drive, it seems highly unlikely that he could have disappeared on his own (although he has no motive to run away). The only scenario in which a voluntary disappearance makes sense to me is if Slaughter met someone and the two planned on starting a new life together somewhere else. But who?
As far as I know, Lucinda was eliminated as a suspect after the searches in 2002 leaving the police with zero other leads. Was this a random crime of opportunity and Slaughter just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? Could he have seen something he shouldn't have and been kidnapped and killed in retaliation?
There are no unidentified persons on NAMUS matching Slaughter's description except one. In 1999, a furnace installer in Cleveland was attempting to clear a blockage in the chimney when he discovered what appeared to be human remains. The partial remains were later identified as those of a black male, age 37-47 (Slaughter disappeared nine days before his 37th birthday), who died "by violence of undetermined origin." The unidentified man was 5'7" (same height) and had died sometime between 1900 and 1999. Hereis a side-by-side comparison of the two. The only things that don't line up are the location and the clothing found on the body. John Doe was found in a chimney in Cleveland, OH––a 7-hour drive from Owensboro, KY. Slaughter didn't drive and he had never left the state so if this were him, he must have been taken to Cleveland alive and then killed at some point (but why drive someone 7 hours away?). John Doe's clothing also doesn't match the description of when Slaughter was last seen, although if he was taken so far away he might have changed clothes. EDIT: Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to read about this case and for kind words––Robbin's disappearance is very confusing and troubling (as well as basically unreported outside of Owensboro) so I'm happy that more people can learn about his story! EDIT 2: I submitted Robbin as a potential match for the Cleveland John Doe and will post an update if I hear back. EDIT 3 (11/3): The NAMUS regional program officer just responded to my submission of a potential match and it has been forwarded to both investigating agencies for future DNA comparison of Robbin and the Cleveland John Doe.

I've been doing woodworking via Etsy for about 8 years now, mostly tables and chairs shipped to customers around the country, by just me, out of my home shop and the paltry profit thus far has been some extra walkin' around money. I recently finished a large job and have a decent bit of capital, to the point where I can finally pull the trigger on focusing my woodshop to fabricating and selling a singular, expensive item (as opposed to a variety of items with varying costs). The profit (if I actually sell one) would be significant. It's a gamble, but I'm putting the profit I've made thus far into this idea and once released into the market I'll know if it's a viable idea. I will continue to work my regular full-time day job. My question here stems from the fact that if my product fails in the customers home (which is highly unlikely, but plan for the worst, right?) the potential for damage to the home would be great. I will be getting business insurance, full stop. I know there's a lot of folks here that are very pro LLC, but would the liability garnered from an LLC be worth the extra cost of registering, reregistering, tax attorney, accountant, paying for a resident agent, and whatever other costs pop up? I'd prefer to just open a separate personal bank account for my "business", have payments directed there from my online sales, and just pay income tax on any profits and get good business insurance for liability. What's wrong with that method? Why complicate things with an LLC? Thanks for the help!

These guys are stellar! TEKK closed at $10.30 today. Still cheap! If you don't like to read... you don't like to make money!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Davey — Chief Executive Officer and Director Mr. Davey has over 25 years of experience within the digital media, sports, entertainment, leisure and gaming ecosystems, as well as experience in the public sector. He is an experienced public company executive officer and board member. He has served in executive management positions across the gaming technology arena. Over the course of Mr. Davey’s career, he oversaw more than ten mergers and acquisitions and over $1.2 billion in debt and equity capital raised to support the companies he has led. Most recently, Mr. Davey was Chief Executive Officer of SG Digital, the Digital Division of Scientific Games Corp. (“Scientific Games”) (Nasdaq: SGMS). SG Digital was established following the purchase by Scientific Games of NYX Gaming Group Limited (“NYX”) (formerly TSXV: NYX), where Mr. Davey served as Chief Executive Officer and Director. The NYX acquisition provided Scientific Games with a vehicle to significantly accelerate the scale and breadth of its existing digital gaming business, including the strategic expansion into sports betting. In his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of NYX, Mr. Davey developed and implemented a corporate strategy that generated strong revenue growth. Mr. Davey shaped company strategy to focus on digital gaming supplier platforms and content that provided various gaming operators with the underlying gaming and sports betting systems for their online gaming business. In 2014, Mr. Davey oversaw the initial public offering of NYX, and his experience in the digital media, sports, entertainment, leisure and gaming industries helped NYX recognize momentum as a public company. After the public offering, from 2014 to 2018, Mr. Davey oversaw seven acquisitions which helped establish NYX as one of the fastest growing global B2B real-money digital gaming and sports betting platforms. These acquisitions included: • OpenBet: In 2016, NYX completed the $385 million acquisition of OpenBet. This was one of the more complex and transformative acquisitions that Mr. Davey oversaw at NYX. Through securing co-investments from William Hill (LSE: WMH), Sky Betting & Gaming and The Stars Group (formerly Nasdaq: TSG, TSX: TSGI), Mr. Davey was able to get the acquisition from Vitruvian Partners completed successfully, winning the deal against much larger and well capitalized competitors. By combining two established and proven B2B betting and gaming suppliers, NYX was well positioned to provide customers with exciting player-driven solutions across all major product verticals and distribution channels. This allowed NYX to become the leading B2B omni-channel sportsbook platform in the market and the supplier to over 300 gaming operators globally with an extensive library of desktop and mobile game titles, including more than 700 on NYX platforms and more than 2,000 on the OpenBet platform. • Cryptologic/Chartwell: In 2015, NYX completed the $119 million acquisition of Cryptologic and Chartwell. The acquisition provided NYX with more than 400 titles of additional leading gaming content, a broader customer base, and direct exposure to PokerStars and Intercasino, part of the Gamesys Group (LSE: GYS) — two of the world’s largest online casino offerings. • OnGame: In 2014, NYX completed the distressed acquisition of OnGame, a premier poker content, platform and service provider. This acquisition provided NYX with one of the best poker products in the industry, access to several regulated jurisdictions, and a valuable talent pool that was instrumental in the growth of NYX. The addition of OnGame further established a path for NYX to continue its growth in both European and U.S. markets. These acquisitions, together with meaningful organic growth, increased NYX’s revenue from $24 million in 2014 to $184 million annualized in 2017. During that time, Mr. Davey helped build NYX to have over 200 customers in the global gaming industry and a team of 1,000 employees. Mr. Davey’s success at NYX ultimately led to its sale to Scientific Games for $631 million in 2018. Mr. Davey joined Next Gen Gaming, the predecessor to NYX, in 2000 as the Vice President of Technology, was appointed as Executive Director in 2003 and named Chief Executive Officer in 2005. Prior to that, he was the Senior Consultant for Access Systems, a company that specializes in the provision of back-end software for licensed online casinos. Prior to joining Access, Mr. Davey worked for the Northern Territory Government specializing in matters pertaining to the internet and e-commerce along with roles in the Department of Racing and Gaming. Mr. Davey received a Bachelor of Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Northern Territory University, Australia (also known as Charles Darwin University). Robin Chhabra — President Mr. Chhabra has been at the forefront of corporate acquisition activity within the digital gaming landscape for over a decade. His prior experience includes leading corporate strategy, M&A, and business development at two of the global leaders in the digital gaming industry, The Stars Group (“TSG”) and William Hill, and a leading supplier, Inspired Gaming Group (Nasdaq: INSE). Mr. Chhabra served on the Group Executive Committees of each of these companies. From 2017 to May 2020, Mr. Chhabra served as Chief Corporate Development Officer at TSG and, from 2019 to August 2020, he also served as the Chief Executive Officer of Fox Bet, a leading U.S. online gaming business which is the product of a landmark partnership between TSG and FOX Sports, a transaction which he led. During that period, Mr. Chhabra led several transactions which transformed TSG into the largest publicly listed online gambling operator in the world by both revenue and market capitalization and one of the most diversified from a product and geographic perspective with revenues of over $2.5 billion. Mr. Chhabra’s M&A experience is extensive and covers multiple global geographies across the digital gaming value chain and includes the following: • TSG/Flutter Entertainment Merger: In 2019, Mr. Chhabra led the TSG M&A team that was responsible for TSG’s $12.2 billion merger with Flutter Entertainment (LSE: FLTR). The merger between TSG and Flutter Entertainment is the largest transaction in the digital gaming industry to date. The combination created the largest publicly listed online gaming company with approximately 13 million active customers and leading product offerings, which include sports betting, online casino, fantasy sports and poker. The combined entity includes some of the world’s most iconic digital gaming brands such as Fanduel, Fox Bet, Sky Bet, PaddyPower, Betfair, PokerStars and SportsBet. TSG/Flutter Entertainment is one of the most geographically diverse digital gaming and media companies with leading positions in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany and Georgia. • TSG/Sky Betting and Gaming (“SBG”): In 2018, Mr. Chhabra led the acquisition of SBG from CVC Capital Partners and Sky plc, Europe’s largest media company, in a transaction valued at $4.7 billion. At the time of the acquisition SBG was the largest mobile gambling operator in the United Kingdom and one of the fastest growing of the major operators having doubled its online market share in three years. The acquisition of SBG provided TSG with (a) greater revenue diversification, significantly enhanced expertise and exposure to sports betting just ahead of the judicial overturn of The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) by the U.S. Supreme Court, (b) a leading position within the United Kingdom, the world’s largest regulated online gaming market, (c) improved products and technology as a result of the addition of SBG’s innovative casino and sports book offerings and a portfolio of popular mobile apps, and (d) expertise in deeply integrating sports betting with leading sports media companies, positioning TSG to create more engaging content, deliver faster growth and decrease customer acquisition costs. • William Hill (LSE: WMH): At William Hill, from 2010 to 2017, Mr. Chhabra served as Group Director of Strategy and Corporate Development where he led several transactions which contributed to William Hill’s transformation from a land-based gambling operator in the United Kingdom to a leading online-led international business. Mr. Chhabra led William Hill’s entry into the U.S. sports betting and online lottery markets with the acquisition of four businesses, including the simultaneous acquisitions of three U.S. sportsbooks, Cal Neva, American Wagering and Brandywine Bookmaking, in 2011 for an aggregate purchase price of $55 million. These businesses ultimately led William Hill to achieve a leading position in the U.S. sports betting market with a market share of 24% in 2019. Additionally, Mr. Chhabra played a key role in structuring William Hill’s successful joint venture with PlayTech Plc (LSE: PTEC) in 2008. The combined entity created one of the largest online gambling businesses in Europe at the time of its formation and led to William Hill’s buyout of Playtech’s interest for $637 million in 2013. Prior to the transaction, William Hill had struggled in its attempt to establish a strong online gaming platform and a meaningful presence outside the United Kingdom. Mr. Chhabra has also successfully completed four transactions worth over $1.2 billion in Australia, the world’s second largest regulated online gambling market, and various partnerships in Asia. Additionally, he completed several technology and media related transactions, including William Hill’s investment in NYX, where he worked with Mr. Davey on NYX’s transformational acquisition of OpenBet. Prior to working in the gaming sector, Mr. Chhabra was an equities analyst and a management consultant. Mr. Chhabra received a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

From February to August 2019, he served as Trustee and Interim-Chief Executive Officer of Ocean Casino Resort (“Ocean”) (formerly Revel Casino, which had a construction cost of $2.4 billion) in Atlantic City, where he successfully led the management team through an ownership change and operational turnaround effort.

In 2010, Mr. Bailey bought Resorts Atlantic City (“Resorts”) and initiated a comprehensive renovation which allowed for the property to be rebranded and repositioned. In 2012, Mr. Bailey signed an agreement with Mohegan Sun to manage the day-to-day operations of the casino. In addition to Mohegan Sun’s operational expertise and ability to reduce costs via economies of scale, Resorts gained access to their robust customer database. Soon thereafter, Mr. Bailey and his team focused on bringing online gaming to the property. In 2015, Resorts established a platform to engage in online gaming by partnering with PokerStars, now part of the $24 billion Flutter Entertainment, PLC (LSE: FLTR), to operate an online poker room in Atlantic City. In 2018, Resorts announced deals with DraftKings and SBTech to open a sportsbook on-property and online.

Nazi's, Utah's $200B Mormonism, the USA's Bush family of US Presidents and Governors Links 32 US States Secretly Allowing Shill Corporations To Provide the Illusion of State Supervision For Thousands of "Certain" Attorneys.
***TL;DR***"A lie told long enough becomes the truth." -Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda. Links connecting Nazis, Utah's Mormonism and all Bush family US President's and Governors. (1)(2)(3) This all leads to one of the greatest ongoing deceptions in US History. Decades of financial genocide among tens of thousands of vulnerable Americans has been the result. It should be obvious "who" is controlling this money, now one of the worlds largest secret fortunes. Although this deception is centered in Utah, where it was discovered, the list of 32 other US States this is happening in can be found in this wikipedia listing. Scroll down about halfway to "Mandatory, integrated or unified bar associations" and you'll see the list of other states in that paragraph. ***Summary***" In Utah, there are about 6,500 State licensed attorneys. They are secretly allowed to target Utahans in more than a dozen ways and collect a fortune from every one. This is true because complaints about Utah attorneys are secretly handled by a deceptive private corporation that is also secretly funded by the attorneys. It is an incredulous, closed-loop-cycle of insidious deception that has been secretly perpetuated by Utah attorneys, attorneys who become judges, Utah law schools, professors and Utah politicians for decades. In Utah this deceptive, shill organization's name is still allowed to be "The Utah State Bar" giving people the idea that The Utah State Bar's day-to-day operations are funded by the State of Utah when it is not. This also means that there is also no "State Funded" office for victims of these attorneys to call to for help. As the years go by, thousands upon thousands of victims of these attorneys have no idea that they are being patronized, groomed and manipulated by a murderous, self-serving, narcissistic, sociopath, imposter person posing as a Utah attorney. Because of the devastation this brings to thousands of victims each year, it is a modern day financial genocide where even a victim's suicide means another fortune for the Utah "attorney". (It's horrifying to consider that this allowed deception may be the unconscionable reason Utah is also home to the worst rates of suicide in the Nation). Even though there are thousands of victims every year, Utah's politicians, Utah's courts, Utah's locally represented Federal offices of the FBI, the FTC, the US Attorney and Utah's greater law community also continue to look the other way. It is a cultural epidemic. Get in the game. Spread the word any way you can. Don't let Utah's Frankenstein legal illusions and monsters target you or a loved one any more. For a more detailed look into all this and the list of secret ways these deranged people are targeting their victims, read on. ***Decades of Law Fraud In 32 US States Finally Exposed"*** About five years ago, I learned that Utah, as a whole, is secretly home to the worst rates in the Nation for suicide, child abuse, financial fraud and bankruptcy (1)(2). About four years ago I learned that the State's politicians refuse to allow audit's of billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars spent (or hidden away) in incredulous ways. About three years ago I learned that Utah's politicians, judges, attorneys and law schools are desperately hiding decades of insidious law fraud (and the fortunes it generates for them). As a whole, Utah's citizens are strong, brave, trusting, giving, talented and creative people. However, the collective imagination of millions Utahans also makes them vulnerable to exploitation, corruption and fraud by morally bankrupt people (and those they control). Perhaps parts of this sometimes selective, culturally rewarding but sometimes self-destructive collective imagination is why so much has been hidden here for so long? After three and a half unpredictable years of watching and listening, in no uncertain way and with proof of everything, I can publicly share with you now that this insidious Utah law fraud began decades ago when lawmakers, who were also attorneys, for their own purposes, secretly allowed a private corporation to have a very deceptive name in providing the illusion of "State Supervision" by the "State of Utah" for Utah attorneys. Simultaneously, a second-hand consequence of this shameful deception is that there is NO official "State of Utah" department for victims of Utah's self-serving attorneys to call to for help. Today, Utah's 6,500 attorneys secretly know all of this and they are able to target innocent Utahans from all walks of life and collect one fortune after another in the process. This is all secretly, shamefully accomplished under that decades old deception, publicly perpetuated into your home, your life and your profession, by greedy cowards under the unconscionably false banner allowed to be known as "The Utah State Bar." It is critical to note that not only is "The Utah State Bar" a private corporation secretly allowed to pose as a "State Office," it is also funded by the same 6,500 Utah attorneys it provides the illusion of supervision for. This includes it's pay roll. In case you don't see the conflict of interest here this is the epitome of the phrase "the inmates are running the asylum". This is also why victim's complaints about Utah's 6,500 attorneys to "The Utah State Bar" are purposely dead-ended in an unpredictable nightmare for the victim. First, the victim who dares file a complaint against a "Utah attorney" will be ignored for several months. Eventually they will be notified that complaint was "unofficial". That means the Utah attorney was simply notified of the existence of a complaint. To make the complaint "official", the victim is told they need to get the complaint notarized then refile the complaint with a different person at "The Utah State Bar". If a victim dares do that, several more months will pass before the victim is told that the attorney was notified of the "content" of the complaint (making the complaint "official" as they term it) but that if the victim wants to pursue the complaint beyond that the victim needs to find another Utah attorney to sue the original Utah attorney in another deceptive Utah courtroom. A victim who dares to do that would also be risking another unpredictable pending "legal" matter at the hands of yet another "self-supervised" attorney and that would also take several years and cost tens of thousands of dollars (all while their original legal matter was allowed to worsen in unconscionable ways). However, if that victim dares to risk all this and years later is able to fund the case going all the way to "The Utah Supreme Court" the victim should know that the Justices of "The Utah Supreme Court" have demonstrated that they too will secretly look the other way and allow the attorney to keep pursuing victims and pocketing one fortune after another in the process. It gets worse. The following is a list of ways Utah's attorneys, judges and the rest of Utah's deceptive legal system are targeting thousands of Utah victims from all walks of life every year:
Because of an attorney's unique position and relationship to a "client" in Utah, the attorney can secretly groom the client in many ways to make simple cases go on for years and years at unconscionable costs. These are cases that should have been settled in a simple mediation session on Day 1. The attorneys do this with several insidious goals in mind.
When the person is a homeowner or a landowner, it's not uncommon to see attorney fees reach hundreds of thousands of dollars with no end in sight for years and no progress in the case. This is because the attorneys secretly know they can put a lien on the person's home or land, force the sale of it and collect on the falsely inflated amount.
If a "client" dies (or commits suicide) the attorneys can collect on an additional false fortune. They can do this by adding tens of thousands of dollars (or more) to the dead persons bill. The the person's surviving children and family can't do anything about it.
If you are aware of a case that involves a homeowner or a landowner and it's gone on for years, it's highly likely the attorneys are colluding with each other to drag the case on until the person dies (or commits suicide). In Utah, you don't have to look far to find a simple case that has been dragged on for 5-10 years or longer by the attorneys for this insidious purpose. In fact, you don't have to look far to find a Utah attorney who seems to groom "clients" to commit suicide.
In addition to the deception perpetuated under the lies of "The Utah State Bar", the justices of "The Utah Supreme Court" have demonstrated that they too are aware of these secret tactics and that they will continue to support Utah attorneys in engaging in them. (Yes I, Mike D. Jarman, a Utahan, am openly accusing "The Utah Supreme Court" of these critical deceptions.)
In artificially extending cases to collect unconscionable fortunes, Utah attorneys regularly collude with crooked judges, mediators, custody evaluators, the "Division of Child and Family Services", the "Office of Recovery Services", the "Utah Department of Human Services" and other services that appear to be "neutral". This is because it's simply a pay-to-play scheme. Whoever is willing to pay (or use a credit card, month-after-month, year-after-year) gets the result no matter how irrational or dangerous it seems.
Because Utah judges were once attorneys too and they had the same thing done for them they play along. This includes purposely giving irrational rulings in cases (and waiting months or years to do so) so that the case can be dragged on for years more with the appearance of appeals. Grooming by the attorney's plays a critical role in this too. Remember, the entire deceptive system exists to see to it that above all the attorneys can get paid for as long as possible or until the person dies or commits suicide. When you understand this, you will find answers to all the questions you may have about why a case has gone on for so long, so irrationally, so dangerously, so blatantly, so unconsionably.
Utah attorneys can pose as collection agents. They can solicit businesses or people in doing this. This means anyone the attorney can get the business or person to claim owes them money the attorney can then employ the deceptive system to harass the innocent person while adding thousands in fees to the original false amount (no matter how small the original false amount may have been or even if the persons credit card company already made a decision against the business and in favor of the innocent person and refunded the person). Because these deceptive "collection attorneys" generate so many false cases for Utah's deceptive courts and those cases generate revenue in expensive courthouse fees the court often awards collection attorneys whatever they demand, without a hearing or trial for the innocent person. Tragically, this deception allows attorneys to further molest a persons life because the false collection filing by the attorney hi-jacks the person's credit report for years and prevents the person from getting a job, buying a work vehicle or buying a home. The attorney's know this and because of these long term effects, many victims simply end up just paying the thousands of dollars in extortion fees to the attorney. Utah attorneys engage in thousands of these "collection" cases each year.
Utah attorneys can demand thousands of dollars in upfront payments disguised as "retainer fees" then never even call the person back. In fact, many attorneys will wait weeks or months then call the client back demanding thousands more for a "different course of action". Thousands of victims every year fall for it. Because this tactic is so rampant and easy for Utah attorneys to get away with, there are victims who have had more than one Utah attorney to this to them in the same year.
If a rape victim calls a Utah attorney to file a "protective order" against the rapist the attorney can demand $5,000, $10,000 or whatever the fearful woman will pay to fill out the form even though she could have done it for free online in less than an hour if someone had told her. It's unbearable to wonder how many rapes, murders and other violent crimes in Utah communities could have been prevented at the hands of a Utah attorney but weren't because exploiting a victim of rape out of thousands of dollars was more important to the "attorney".
Utah attorneys are allowed to be alcoholics, drug addicts, porn addicts, gambling addicts and worse without any supervision or accountability whatsoever. If an attorney needs an extra $10,000 a month to fund their addiction (or latest escapade) all they have to do is add it to random client(s) bills and the clients won't even know.
Utah attorneys are allowed to use other loopholes created and hidden by a deceptive courthouse department known as "The Utah Administrative Office of the Court". One loophole allows attorneys to further groom their "clients" and collude with judges and other parties as it doesn't require "proof of delivery" for certain, critical documents. Another loophole allows the attorneys to bill their client's extra hours of "wait" time without the client knowing what is really happening. It does this by mass-booking multiple cases all at the same time even though other courtrooms sit empty. This deception allows judges to secretly control what attorneys and law firms collect on millions of dollars a year in artificially extended "wait" times as they allow the attorneys they favor to "wait" the longest while billing hundreds of dollars an hour. It's not uncommon for an attorney or law firm to bill multiple clients each hundreds of dollars an hour for the same "wait" time. Remember, judges were once attorneys too and had the same thing done for them so they play along to take care of their own for reasons we can only imagine.
It's common for Utah attorneys to register a different business name to operate under every few years or to self-righteously cite "the Bar", "an oath", a "Code of Ethics" or the "direction of the Utah Supreme Court" as a way to skirt questioning them about any of this. In reality, these are just more tactics to keep up the false image that Utah attorneys are "Ambassadors of the law". In fact, Utah attorneys are Utah's worst deceivers of "the law" because they are the only ones who hide behind it while targeting innocent Utahans from all walks of life.
To avoid being exposed and feigning ignorance to any and all evidence presented, many Utah attorneys will try to claim that the "Utah Supreme Court" supervises The "Utah State Bar". Regardless of what deceptive language "Utah State Bar" tries to hide behind to imply that it is "directed" by the Utah Supreme Court, in reality, no Justices of the (incompetent or corrupt) "Utah Supreme Court" supervise "The Utah State Bar's" actions from day-to-day. In fact, undeniable proof exists that the "Utah Supreme Court" is well aware of all these loopholes, knows attorneys who abuse them to unheard of levels and that it continues to look the other way. On top of this, Utah's elected politicians including Governor Gary Herbert, Lieutenant Governor and Governor Elect Spencer Cox, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, other elected officials, appointed officials (judges), the Utah offices of the FBI, the FTC, the US Attorney's Office, the Utah Association of Realtors, Senator Mitt Romney, Senator Mike Lee, the Utah Judicial Conduct Commission, the Utah Judiciary and even other past and present prominent leaders including one who was a Justice on "The Utah Supreme Court" for four years and others have also demonstrated in no uncertain way that these deceptions will continue to be allowed. Perhaps this is because once this is exposed the State of Utah is likely to be on the hook for untold fortunes in damages and losses to hundreds of thousands of Utah victims (and their surviving children and families over the past several decades? (It has to do with the State of Utah simultaneously creating and breaking a critical fiduciary duty to the State's citizens.)
As these loopholes continue to be exposed, in addition to the integrity of all of the State of Utah's political, legal, municipal, educational and media offices being compromised by perpetuating the lie of "The Utah State Bar" the integrity of the University of Utah's SJ Quinney College of Law as well as BYU's J Rueben Clark Law School has also been compromised. For their critical actions in perpetuating this deception for so many years, it seems these "law schools" should be shuttered for a period of time until solutions (and there are many) are implemented. Perhaps five years ought to be long enough? Even worse, the integrity of "Utah Law" has been further compromised by Utah being the first state to waive the (now token) "Bar Exam" for attorneys.
Because all of Utah's political, legal, municipal, educational and media offices are controlled by certain culturally-influential but clearly ecclesiastically-bankrupt members of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" perhaps the President of the United States (whoever that is) should implement the Federal Insurrection Act of 1807 and immediately occupy Utah until solutions to this insidious corruption can be implemented free of individually shameful members of one collectively proud organization?
In 1933 a peculiar component of Mormonism openly endorsed early Nazism. Perhaps what we have seen with "Utah Law Fraud" over the past several decades has more to do with that endorsement of that shameful component than we dare imagine? (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)
If you're wondering how all this is possible remember "A lie told long enough becomes the truth" and in Utah, millions of people have collectively been told these lies for decades. If you are a victim of any of these deceptive hounds-of-hell, know that just by staying alive you are beating the devil at his own game. Remember, no matter how prominent they are or what their religious affiliation may seem to be, crooked politicians, leaders, attorneys and judges will do anything to provoke a reaction out of you so that they can use that to condemn you (or throw you in jail and permanently silence you). So be smart as you individually and collectively look for your own ways to raise awareness about this.

When 45 minutes becomes 26 years: How did Robbin Lewis Slaughter––a 36-year-old man who lived a private life and rarely left his hometown of Owensboro, KY––vanish without a trace while walking to a convenience store 5 blocks away?
This is an extremely bizarre missing persons case which I’m surprised hasn’t been covered before on this sub. Unfortunately there is very little media coverage available freely online and the media coverage the case did receive was exclusively from the local newspaper. I discovered that I can essentially make the articles available if I paid for the Newspapers.com Publisher Edition and 'clipped' them (clipped articles are public). You should be able to click on the link and it will take you to a scan of the original news source but if this doesn't work please comment and let me know! "A sweet and lovable person" Robbin Lewis Slaughter was born to Dorothy ‘Dot’ Slaughter and William J. Slaughter in Owensboro, KY in the predominately black West End neighborhood. By all accounts, Slaughter––who was 36-years-old at the time of his disappearance––was a bit of a homebody. He kept his social circle small and rarely ventured outside the 5 or 6 places he frequented in town. He didn’t drive and usually got around town on foot––even his workplace was 1.3 miles (less than a 30-minute walk) from his home. He didn’t drink, gamble, or go out on the town. Slaughter’s coworkers at the Owensboro Public Works Department described the 16-year-veteran clean-up crew member as a diligent and hard worker who was never late or missed a day of work. Rudd Slaughter, Robbin’s older brother, was also employed by the department as a sanitation truck driver and the pair would sometimes work together. “He’s a good worker. He’s very dependable,” said Cissy Gregson, director of Owensboro’s sanitation department. “He’s easygoing. He wouldn’t get in a confrontation with anybody.” Slaughter was extraordinarily close with his family. “Even though he was grown, he lived with my mom until a couple of months before he was married,” Slaughter’s sister Kitty Board said. Dot even had power of attorney over her son’s finances up until he married Lucinda. “He was a sweet and lovable person, but he needed looking after,” Board said. Robbin Slaughter married his childhood friend Lucinda in 1991 after a whirlwind romance. The pair went out a few times when Lucinda was 15, although the two didn’t begin dating seriously until 12 years later when they reconnected at church. After Lucinda was critically injured in a car accident in 1990, Robbin visited her regularly during the two months she was in the hospital. Lucinda says Robbin’s frequent visits convinced her of his caring nature and she started to see him as a potential father figure for her two daughters. Robbin’s family was skeptical of his budding romance and felt the couple was moving too fast. Both Slaughter’s brother and mother said they noticed a change in his behavior after the marriage. He used to like to listen to music and sports but “he cut back when he got married” according to Rudd. “He changed,” his brother recalled. “He wouldn’t come out as often. He settled down, just went to work and church.” Slaughter’s mother reported that after his marriage to Lucinda, he didn’t visit as often (he used to visit her once a month). His sister said that even after the marriage her family never accepted her brother’s wife and stepdaughters, and that there was a mutual agreement that “we don’t question each other’s lives." Lucinda herself readily admitted that Slaughter’s family didn’t get along with her, although she claims that she reconciled with Slaughter’s mother in the years following Robbin’s disappearance. Slaughter was the polar opposite of someone who would run away to start a new life. "He never went on any trips without family," said Slaughter's sister, Kitty Board. “He didn't stay away from home.... He never ventured out of his comfort zone. If you would say, 'Where's Robbin?' there were five or six places he could be." Timeline –– (Google Map of important locations) When Slaughter vanished on the evening of Saturday, November 14, 1993 it was a shock. “He’d not been out of state and very seldom out of town,” Board said. “He’s not the type of person who would plan to leave.” Slaughter’s wife Lucinda told police that that evening, at around 9pm, her husband left their home at 2714 West 10th Street to walk to Franey’s Food Mart which was a trip he made frequently. It was an unseasonably warm day for mid-November, with a high near 75 degrees. At night, however, the temperature dropped as a line of evening thunderstorms moved through the area so Slaughter chose to put his gray and blue sweater on over his athletic shirt. He was also wearing a pair of blue jeans and white tennis shoes. Lucinda said that Slaughter let her know that he would be back in around 40 to 45 minutes. She told police that her husband was not distraught when he left the house and did not notice anything strange about his behavior. The convenience store was less than a 15-minute walk from Slaughter’s home so it made a perfect destination for an evening walk. Of the two possible routes he could have taken, both went through quiet, tree-lined streets dotted with small single-family homes. Franey’s is located at the intersection of Cravens Avenue and Carter Road on the far west end of town. The southwest corner of this intersection marks the beginning of a vast expanse of farmland and open fields. On this night, however, Slaughter never made it inside the store. The next morning at around 9 or 9:30am Lucinda Slaughter knocked on Board’s door, inquiring as to whether Board had seen her brother. When Board said that she hadn’t, Slaughter reported her husband missing. Being a small, locally-owned chain, the cashier at Franey’s was familiar with Slaughter as he was a regular customer. Connie Carlisle, the cashier working on the night of Slaughter’s disappearance, told police that Slaughter never entered the store that evening, something which a review of surveillance footage from inside the store confirmed. One witness placed him in the parking lot at Franey’s but this report was never confirmed. “A (teen-age) boy talked with him in the parking lot, but he (Slaughter) never came in,” Carlisle later told a reporter. According to Carlisle, Slaughter and this boy “were friends.” The police apparently talked to the teenager Slaughter was last seen with but the boy denied talking with Slaughter and said he had only seen him in the parking lot. His mother and siblings quickly cast doubt on the idea that Slaughter chose to disappear––he was extremely close with his family and would never abandon them. Sgt. Michael Walker of the Owensboro Police Department’s criminal investigations bureau concurred with the family’s assessment, stating that “there were no extraordinary circumstances that stood out as to why he would fit the profile of someone who would want to get away from it all.” The police did not find anything in Slaughter’s background that indicated he had any reason to disappear. "He had family here," Sgt. Walker said. "There were no significant issues he was facing that would prompt him to take off without a word to anyone." Slaughter did not have any financial troubles or known enemies that might have led him to abandon his quiet life in Owensboro. Both Lucinda and Slaughter’s family said that he was happy in the marriage and that he cared deeply for his stepdaughters. Even if Slaughter wanted to leave Owensboro and start a new life elsewhere, he would need to either get a ride from someone or take public transportation because he didn’t have a car. A year and a half before Slaughter’s disappearance a new bus terminal opened at 1216 E. 2nd Street with daily service to Evansville and Henderson. The terminal is just over a 3 mile walk from the Franey’s Food Mart where Slaughter was last seen and would take him roughly an hour to travel there on foot. Besides, a number of Slaughter’s relatives lived close by. At the same time, there was no evidence a crime had taken place. Yet police see no other possibility aside from foul play. “They should have done this years ago”: Investigating (and excluding) Lucinda as a suspect The police investigation quickly hit a dead end in 1993, which is perhaps partially due to a number of problems impacting the department. Chief Ulysses Embry, a 40-year veteran of the Owensboro Police Department, retired in May of 1992 and left the department in need of new leadership. Tensions between the Police Department and City Hall reached a fever pitch in 1993 when disgruntled patrol officers with the Fraternal Order of Police organized a Back the Blue campaign. The department had also recently hired a number of new officers, most of whom were young and inexperienced. “The police department has got some young boys,” Embry told reporters in 1993. “These boys mean well, but they will learn that they have got the responsibility of their job.” The police were slow to investigate Slaughter's disappearance initially and none of the news reports mentions a search being conducted for him. The extent of the police investigation in 1993 appears to have consisted of two 'witness' interviews (the clerk and the teenage boy) and a review of surveillance footage from Franey's. It wasn't until 2002 that police are known to have conducted a physical search for Slaughter. Two searches of Lucinda Calhoun’s (she remarried in the years following Robbin's disappearance) former property at 2714 W. 10th Street were conducted in 2002 and a portion of the property was excavated after cadaver dogs alerted to the location. A separate portion of the adjoining backyard of 2710 W. 10th Street, Lucinda's mother's house, was also excavated. Officers originally identified Lucinda as a possible suspect in the early weeks of Slaughter’s disappearance based on rumors that she had harmed her husband. Lt. Ken Bennett declined to disclose how authorities obtained the new information but said that “it’s more detailed [...] than the earlier rumors." Lucinda gave police permission to search and excavate the backyard, but on the second day of the search police returned with a search warrant for the home on the property because they expected to conduct a “much more elaborate” search. [Photos of the search] Authorities dug two holes on Lucinda’s property––one 6-feet deep by 10-feet wide portion was excavated along the back fence with a second 3-feet deep by 3-feet wide excavation site in the center of the backyard. Before dawn on the second day of the search, detectives used Luminol inside the home to search for blood and seized a handful of items––including a door––for additional testing. “They said they would do this quietly, and they’re here at church time,” Lucinda told reporters during the search. “They should have done this nine years ago.” After the searches of Lucinda’s property came up empty in 2002, police officially classified Slaughter’s disappearance as a cold case. Lt. Bennett told the media at the time that the case would remain cold until new information surfaces. In the meantime, Lt. Bennett said that the Owensboro Police would continue to treat Slaughter’s disappearance as a noncriminal missing person case. Lucinda accused the police of harassment, claiming that they unfairly targeted her as a suspect in her husband’s disappearance. Members of the St. Louis-based Universal African People’s Organization joined Lucinda’s family and friends in gathering in front of Lucinda’s former home to provide moral support and call attention to what they described as "police harassment." Representatives of the group later met with Mayor Waymond Morris and Owensboro Police Chief John Kazlauskas. Morris told the media that he had a “very cordial conversation” with the group, although he dismissed the accusations of harassment as unfounded. “I just listened to what they said, and I told them I’d look into it,” Morris recalled. “They said they wanted me to look into possible harassment. I think they feel like that maybe on several different occasions the police department has been overaggressive in searching.” Police excluded Lucinda as a suspect in her husband's disappearance after the search in 2002. She has always maintained her innocence and continues to search for answers in his case. Racism While researching this case, I came across an online forum page for Owensboro where residents apparently discuss community issues (in reality it seems to be used to gossip/harass people). One of the posts, created a month ago, concerns Robbin’s nephew who still lives in the town and reads:
“I wonder if that loud mouth n***** still works at Hunter Douglas, I quit because I got sick of listening to his loud mouth, he is one worthless n*****!!!”
Obviously this is an anonymous comment posted online so it has to be taken with a grain of salt but the fact that the poster uses the n-word (which appears uncensored in the original post) is noteworthy. While Robbin’s social circle was small, the Slaughter family was well-known in Owensboro. Kitty Board was (and still is) heavily involved in the West End community and openly spoke out against the gun violence plaguing the neighborhood. In fact, Board was quoted extensively in the local newspaper four months prior to her brother's disappearance in an article about illegal firearms. The Owensboro police have also been accused of racial profiling and police brutality. The town has quite the storied legacy when it comes to questionable law enforcement tactics. In 1968, after a young black man named Jerry Brown was shot and killed at a local white-owned nightclub, protests broke out in “the Negro West End” of the city. 20 people were arrested. Then Mayor Irvin Terrill pledged to “dissolve the militant influence” which he claimed was behind the violent outbreak, namely, the “Negro gangs.” Police Chief Vernie Bidwell doubled down on the mayor’s threat, warning that the police were “tired” of being cursed by “young punks” and would crack down. Mayor Waymond Morris came under fire in 2000 for his lackluster response to protests over the fatal shooting of Tyrone Clayton Jr. Clayton was shot twice by Owensboro Police Officer Lorhn Frazier after he was pulled over for reckless driving. The Mayor sent a letter to NAACP attorney Evan Taylor to inform the group that he would no longer be meeting with them at city hall. Accidental death? There are hundreds of acres of farmland just 100 feet from the convenience store which one could ostensibly get lost in easily especially at night. The issue with this theory is that Slaughter disappeared in mid-November, which is after fall planting season. The fact that the field would have been recently plowed coupled with the flat terrain of the area would make it exceedingly difficult for someone to get lost. Satellite images show a small retention pond on this nearby farm located roughly 730 feet from intersection near Franey’s which could most easily be reached by walking parallel to the rear of the houses on Carter Road. The pond is bound by fields on three sides so it is possible that Slaughter wasn’t able to see it if he was walking in the dark. From what I was able to find out, the catch basin was created in 1987 by the local government to reduce flash flooding on Carter Road, so it would have been there at the time of Slaughter’s disappearance. Most retention ponds have a depth of 4-6 feet so if the water level was high, Slaughter (who was 5’ 7”) may not have been able to stand. If Slaughter didn’t know how to swim, it’s possible that he fell in and struggled to get his bearings on the thick layer of sediment on the bottom of the pond and drowned. Since his lungs would have filled with water, his body would have sunk to the bottom of the pond and subsequently covered by sediment. Retention ponds are typically dredged every 5-10 years, however, so if Slaughter’s body was there, I would assume that some of his remains would have been discovered. Also, because the retention pond appears to be owned by the city itself, they presumably would be able to search it without a warrant. Questions I honestly have nothing but questions about this case.
Did police ever search the area around Franey's food mart? From what I can tell, they only searched Lucinda's property. If they didn't search the area––why not? Did the police take the case seriously from the beginning?
Given the fact that Slaughter's mother had power of attorney over his finances until he was in his 30s and he didn't drive, it seems highly unlikely that he could have disappeared on his own (although he has no motive to run away). The only scenario in which a voluntary disappearance makes sense to me is if Slaughter met someone and the two planned on starting a new life together somewhere else. But who?
As far as I know, Lucinda was eliminated as a suspect after the searches in 2002 leaving the police with zero other leads. Was this a random crime of opportunity and Slaughter just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? Could he have seen something he shouldn't have and been kidnapped and killed in retaliation?
There are no unidentified persons on NAMUS matching Slaughter's description except one. In 1999, a furnace installer in Cleveland was attempting to clear a blockage in the chimney when he discovered what appeared to be human remains. The partial remains were later identified as those of a black male, age 37-47 (Slaughter disappeared nine days before his 37th birthday), who died "by violence of undetermined origin." The unidentified man was 5'7" (same height) and had died sometime between 1900 and 1999. Hereis a side-by-side comparison of the two. The only things that don't line up are the location and the clothing found on the body. John Doe was found in a chimney in Cleveland, OH––a 7-hour drive from Owensboro, KY. Slaughter didn't drive and he had never left the state so if this were him, he must have been taken to Cleveland alive and then killed at some point (but why drive someone 7 hours away?). John Doe's clothing also doesn't match the description of when Slaughter was last seen, although if he was taken so far away he might have changed clothes. EDIT: Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to read about this case and for kind words––Robbin's disappearance is very confusing and troubling (as well as basically unreported outside of Owensboro) so I'm happy that more people can learn about his story! EDIT 2: I submitted Robbin as a potential match for the Cleveland John Doe and will post an update if I hear back. EDIT 3 (11/3): The NAMUS regional program officer just responded to my submission of a potential match and it has been forwarded to both investigating agencies for future DNA comparison of Robbin and the Cleveland John Doe.

32 US States secretly allow shill corporations to provide the illusion of "State" supervision for thousands of attorneys. Modern-day financial genocide upon innocent victims with high rates of lucrative suicide is the result. Time for the U.S. President to enact the "Insurrection Act of 1807".
***TL:DR: "A lie told long enough becomes the truth." -Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda (1)(2)(3)*** ***Summary: In Utah, there are 6,500 State licensed attorneys. Many of them are secretly allowed to be murderous, self-serving, narcissistic sociopaths. That may sound unbelievable but this is TRUE because complaints about Utah attorneys are secretly handled by a deceptive private corporation that is also secretly funded by the attorneys. It is an incredulous, closed-loop-cycle of insidious deception that has been secretly perpetuated by Utah attorneys, attorneys who become judges, Utah law schools, professors and Utah politicians for decades. Because of this, thousands of Utah attorneys can secretly target innocent people from all walks of life for many, many years and quietly collect a fortune from everyone. There are more than a dozen secret ways Utah attorneys do this. Even though there are thousands of victims every year, Utah's politicians, Utah's courts and Utah's locally represented Federal offices of the FBI, the FTC and the US Attorney continue to ignore reports revealing it. At all levels, they will continue to look the other way because once it is exposed, the State of Utah will be on the hook for immeasurable fortunes in loss of life and damages to thousands upon thousands of Utah victims over the past several decades. If proper solutions are not implemented, acknowledging it could literally bankrupt the State of Utah (even with it's billions in hidden taxpayer dollars). Although the corruption in Utah is the most rampant for many reasons, 32 other US jurisdictions also secretly have shill "State Bar Associations" that provide the illusion of "State" supervision for their State licensed "attorneys". If this were revealed without proper solutions in place, the financial effect on these 32 states could impact the US economy in unimaginable ways. Perhaps now you see why it is and always will be kept "secret". Many of Utah's 6,500 attorneys secretly know all this and continue to freely perpetuate it without consequence or reprimand and gain one fortune after another in the process while their innocent, targeted victims have no idea why all the destruction and molesting continues to happen to them. Because of the devastation it brings to each Utah victim's life, it is a modern day financial genocide where a targeted victim's potential suicide inevitably plays an additional, insidious, financial role for the attorneys. It's horrifying to consider that this allowed, unconscionable deception may be the reason Utah is also home to the worst rates of suicide in the Nation. If all this is alarming to you, please, read on. The wikilink of the 32 other U.S. States can be found by skipping to the end.*** "Utah Law Fraud" About five years ago, I learned that Utah, as a whole, is secretly home to the worst rates in the Nation for suicide, child abuse, financial fraud and bankruptcy (1)(2). About four years ago I learned that the State's politicians refuse to allow audit's of billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars spent (or hidden away) in incredulous ways. About three years ago I learned that Utah's politicians, judges, attorneys and law schools are desperately hiding decades of insidious law fraud (and the fortunes it generates for them). As a whole, Utah's citizens are strong, brave, trusting, giving, talented and creative people. However, the collective imagination of millions Utahans also makes them vulnerable to exploitation, corruption and fraud by morally bankrupt people (and those they control). Perhaps parts of this sometimes selective, culturally rewarding but sometimes self-destructive collective imagination is why so much has been hidden here for so long? After three and a half unpredictable years of watching and listening, in no uncertain way and with proof of everything, I can publicly share with you now that this insidious Utah law fraud began decades ago when lawmakers, who were also attorneys, for their own purposes, secretly allowed a private corporation to have a very deceptive name in providing the illusion of "State Supervision" by the "State of Utah" for Utah attorneys. Simultaneously, a second-hand consequence of this shameful deception is that there is NO official "State of Utah" department for victims of Utah's self-serving attorneys to call to for help. Today, Utah's 6,500 attorneys secretly know all of this and they are able to target innocent Utahans from all walks of life and collect one fortune after another in the process. This is all secretly, shamefully accomplished under that decades old deception, publicly perpetuated into your home, your life and your profession, by greedy cowards under the unconscionably false banner allowed to be known as "The Utah State Bar." It is critical to note that not only is "The Utah State Bar" a private corporation secretly allowed to pose as a "State Office," it is also funded by the same 6,500 Utah attorneys it provides the illusion of supervision for. This includes it's pay roll. In case you don't see the conflict of interest here this is the epitome of the phrase "the inmates are running the asylum". This is also why victim's complaints about Utah's 6,500 attorneys to "The Utah State Bar" are purposely dead-ended in an unpredictable nightmare for the victim. First, the victim who dares file a complaint against a "Utah attorney" will be ignored for several months. Eventually they will be notified that complaint was "unofficial". That means the Utah attorney was simply notified of the existence of a complaint. To make the complaint "official", the victim is told they need to get the complaint notarized then refile the complaint with a different person at "The Utah State Bar". If a victim dares do that, several more months will pass before the victim is told that the attorney was notified of the "content" of the complaint (making the complaint "official" as they term it) but that if the victim wants to pursue the complaint beyond that the victim needs to find another Utah attorney to sue the original Utah attorney in another deceptive Utah courtroom. A victim who dares to do that would also be risking another unpredictable pending "legal" matter at the hands of yet another "self-supervised" attorney and that would also take several years and cost tens of thousands of dollars (all while their original legal matter was allowed to worsen in unconscionable ways). However, if that victim dares to risk all this and years later is able to fund the case going all the way to "The Utah Supreme Court" the victim should know that the Justices of "The Utah Supreme Court" have demonstrated that they too will secretly look the other way and allow the attorney to keep pursuing victims and pocketing one fortune after another in the process. It gets worse. The following is a list of ways Utah's attorneys, judges and the rest of Utah's deceptive legal system are targeting thousands of Utah victims from all walks of life every year:
Because of an attorney's unique position and relationship to a "client" in Utah, the attorney can secretly groom the client in many ways to make simple cases go on for years and years at unconscionable costs. These are cases that should have been settled in a simple mediation session on Day 1. The attorneys do this with several insidious goals in mind.
When the person is a homeowner or a landowner, it's not uncommon to see attorney fees reach hundreds of thousands of dollars with no end in sight for years and no progress in the case. This is because the attorneys secretly know they can put a lien on the person's home or land, force the sale of it and collect on the falsely inflated amount.
If a "client" dies (or commits suicide) the attorneys can collect on an additional false fortune. They can do this by adding tens of thousands of dollars (or more) to the dead persons bill. The the person's surviving children and family can't do anything about it.
If you are aware of a case that involves a homeowner or a landowner and it's gone on for years, it's highly likely the attorneys are colluding with each other to drag the case on until the person dies (or commits suicide). In Utah, you don't have to look far to find a simple case that has been dragged on for 5-10 years or longer by the attorneys for this insidious purpose. In fact, you don't have to look far to find a Utah attorney who seems to groom "clients" to commit suicide.
In addition to the deception perpetuated under the lies of "The Utah State Bar", the justices of "The Utah Supreme Court" have demonstrated that they too are aware of these secret tactics and that they will continue to support Utah attorneys in engaging in them. (Yes I, Mike D. Jarman, a Utahan, am openly accusing "The Utah Supreme Court" of these critical deceptions.)
In artificially extending cases to collect unconscionable fortunes, Utah attorneys regularly collude with crooked judges, mediators, custody evaluators, the "Division of Child and Family Services", the "Office of Recovery Services", the "Utah Department of Human Services" and other services that appear to be "neutral". This is because it's simply a pay-to-play scheme. Whoever is willing to pay (or use a credit card, month-after-month, year-after-year) gets the result no matter how irrational or dangerous it seems.
Because Utah judges were once attorneys too and they had the same thing done for them they play along. This includes purposely giving irrational rulings in cases (and waiting months or years to do so) so that the case can be dragged on for years more with the appearance of appeals. Grooming by the attorney's plays a critical role in this too. Remember, the entire deceptive system exists to see to it that above all the attorneys can get paid for as long as possible or until the person dies or commits suicide. When you understand this, you will find answers to all the questions you may have about why a case has gone on for so long, so irrationally, so dangerously, so blatantly, so unconsionably.
Utah attorneys can pose as collection agents. They can solicit businesses or people in doing this. This means anyone the attorney can get the business or person to claim owes them money the attorney can then employ the deceptive system to harass the innocent person while adding thousands in fees to the original false amount (no matter how small the original false amount may have been or even if the persons credit card company already made a decision against the business and in favor of the innocent person and refunded the person). Because these deceptive "collection attorneys" generate so many false cases for Utah's deceptive courts and those cases generate revenue in expensive courthouse fees the court often awards collection attorneys whatever they demand, without a hearing or trial for the innocent person. Tragically, this deception allows attorneys to further molest a persons life because the false collection filing by the attorney hi-jacks the person's credit report for years and prevents the person from getting a job, buying a work vehicle or buying a home. The attorney's know this and because of these long term effects, many victims simply end up just paying the thousands of dollars in extortion fees to the attorney. Utah attorneys engage in thousands of these "collection" cases each year.
Utah attorneys can demand thousands of dollars in upfront payments disguised as "retainer fees" then never even call the person back. In fact, many attorneys will wait weeks or months then call the client back demanding thousands more for a "different course of action". Thousands of victims every year fall for it. Because this tactic is so rampant and easy for Utah attorneys to get away with, there are victims who have had more than one Utah attorney to this to them in the same year.
If a rape victim calls a Utah attorney to file a "protective order" against the rapist the attorney can demand $5,000, $10,000 or whatever the fearful woman will pay to fill out the form even though she could have done it for free online in less than an hour if someone had told her. It's unbearable to wonder how many rapes, murders and other violent crimes in Utah communities could have been prevented at the hands of a Utah attorney but weren't because exploiting a victim of rape out of thousands of dollars was more important to the "attorney".
Utah attorneys are allowed to be alcoholics, drug addicts, porn addicts, gambling addicts and worse without any supervision or accountability whatsoever. If an attorney needs an extra $10,000 a month to fund their addiction (or latest escapade) all they have to do is add it to random client(s) bills and the clients won't even know.
Utah attorneys are allowed to use other loopholes created and hidden by a deceptive courthouse department known as "The Utah Administrative Office of the Court". One loophole allows attorneys to further groom their "clients" and collude with judges and other parties as it doesn't require "proof of delivery" for certain, critical documents. Another loophole allows the attorneys to bill their client's extra hours of "wait" time without the client knowing what is really happening. It does this by mass-booking multiple cases all at the same time even though other courtrooms sit empty. This deception allows judges to secretly control what attorneys and law firms collect on millions of dollars a year in artificially extended "wait" times as they allow the attorneys they favor to "wait" the longest while billing hundreds of dollars an hour. It's not uncommon for an attorney or law firm to bill multiple clients each hundreds of dollars an hour for the same "wait" time. Remember, judges were once attorneys too and had the same thing done for them so they play along to take care of their own for reasons we can only imagine.
It's common for Utah attorneys to register a different business name to operate under every few years or to self-righteously cite "the Bar", "an oath", a "Code of Ethics" or the "direction of the Utah Supreme Court" as a way to skirt questioning them about any of this. In reality, these are just more tactics to keep up the false image that Utah attorneys are "Ambassadors of the law". In fact, Utah attorneys are Utah's worst deceivers of "the law" because they are the only ones who hide behind it while targeting innocent Utahans from all walks of life.
To avoid being exposed and feigning ignorance to any and all evidence presented, many Utah attorneys will try to claim that the "Utah Supreme Court" supervises The "Utah State Bar". Regardless of what deceptive language "Utah State Bar" tries to hide behind to imply that it is "directed" by the Utah Supreme Court, in reality, no Justices of the (incompetent or corrupt) "Utah Supreme Court" supervise "The Utah State Bar's" actions from day-to-day. In fact, undeniable proof exists that the "Utah Supreme Court" is well aware of all these loopholes, knows attorneys who abuse them to unheard of levels and that it continues to look the other way. On top of this, Utah's elected politicians including Governor Gary Herbert, Lieutenant Governor and Governor Elect Spencer Cox, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, other elected officials, appointed officials (judges), the Utah offices of the FBI, the FTC, the US Attorney's Office, the Utah Association of Realtors, Senator Mitt Romney, Senator Mike Lee, the Utah Judicial Conduct Commission, the Utah Judiciary and even other past and present prominent leaders including one who was a Justice on "The Utah Supreme Court" for four years and others have also demonstrated in no uncertain way that these deceptions will continue to be allowed. Perhaps this is because once this is exposed the State of Utah is likely to be on the hook for untold fortunes in damages and losses to hundreds of thousands of Utah victims (and their surviving children and families over the past several decades? (It has to do with the State of Utah simultaneously creating and breaking a critical fiduciary duty to the State's citizens.)
As these loopholes continue to be exposed, in addition to the integrity of all of the State of Utah's political, legal, municipal, educational and media offices being compromised by perpetuating the lie of "The Utah State Bar" the integrity of the University of Utah's SJ Quinney College of Law as well as BYU's J Rueben Clark Law School has also been compromised. For their critical actions in perpetuating this deception for so many years, it seems these "law schools" should be shuttered for a period of time until solutions (and there are many) are implemented. Perhaps five years ought to be long enough? Even worse, the integrity of "Utah Law" has been further compromised by Utah being the first state to waive the (now token) "Bar Exam" for attorneys.
Because all of Utah's political, legal, municipal, educational and media offices are controlled by certain culturally-influential but clearly ecclesiastically-bankrupt members of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" perhaps the President of the United States (whoever that is) should implement the Federal Insurrection Act of 1807 and immediately occupy Utah until solutions to this insidious corruption can be implemented free of individually shameful members of one collectively proud organization?
In 1933 a peculiar component of Mormonism openly endorsed early Nazism. Perhaps what we have seen with "Utah Law Fraud" over the past several decades has more to do with that endorsement of that shameful component than we dare imagine? (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)
If you're wondering how all this is possible remember "A lie told long enough becomes the truth" and in Utah, millions of people have collectively been told these lies for decades. If you are a victim of any of these deceptive hounds-of-hell, know that just by staying alive you are beating the devil at his own game. Remember, no matter how prominent they are or what their religious affiliation may seem to be, crooked politicians, leaders, attorneys and judges will do anything to provoke a reaction out of you so that they can use that to condemn you (or throw you in jail and permanently silence you). So be smart as you individually and collectively look for your own ways to raise awareness about this.
