Jolie, I am so terribly sorry for your losses... It is horrible that we live in an age where people think that its ok to take another's life just to "get street cred" its flat out BS if you ask me.... (even if thats not the case, what gave them the right to take Tyler's life?)

As far as the woman killed by her (?) car, it amazes me how oblivious people can be when it comes to others. The deputy should have/could have made sure that she was out of the way, let her know that she could look for her phone AFTER the car was out of the ditch. If you ask me, the deputy dropped the ball on his duties at that moment. (JMHO)

Barrie was looking for her cell phone after the crash - there is NO indications that she was on the phone while driving. She had used the phone to call 911 after the crash and had placed the phone on the car, when tow truck driver lifted the car up, the phone slid off and she reportedly told the deputy that she was afraid that it was under the car. He told her to wait and then walked away to look at traffic or something. Barrie wanted to look for her new phone. I have been in a wreck and insisted - to the point of being lead to the patrol car an told to sit in the backseat - on picking up the debris in the road - so Mark could "fix" the car ... People are not always thinking straight after being in an accident. It was tragic... and stupid .. and oh so preventable. The tow truck driver AND the cop should have made SURE they KNEW where everyone was BEFORE yanking that car up out of the ditch. They are "blaming" the victim because she was "wearing dark clothes" and they didn't see her. ????

The case for Tyler remains open. We are taking turns calling the DA's office so that they realise there is ALOT of interest and we will not "go away", nor will we allow this to be swept away. I have assurances that there are FED's involved, and that it is being pursued if quietly.

Thank you for your kind thoughts and continued prayers.

We have a Memorial for Tyler this afternoon. To date there have been three arrests in this case; one of them was 14, one was 17 and the other 20. The 17 year old was killed while in Parish Prison - the word "snitch" writen in blood across his face. All three have extensive and gang-related rap sheets. They wanted Tyler "working" for them... he wanted a job at McDonalds so he could save for a car.

The coroner was up for re election two weeks... he is GONE.


It has been a rough year at our high school. We lost a 16 year old to an asthma attack, another to a drowning at a popular swimming hole, and two more to car accidents. We had a funeral for Tyler Luke yesterday, 16 years old died in a "weather related single car wreck" last week.
