There’s substantial entomological evidence in the Donna Marie Ogletree Johnson murder case that leads one to at least consider the fact she wasn’t killed by person or persons unknown. It’s the same information that contradicts statements and alibis of several people questioned during the original investigation in the weeks and months after the murder and put the previous assumptions that Donna Johnson was killed between 2-4 p.m. on July 16 into the “doubtful” category.
Crime evidence expert says Johnson case has solution
Then Lamar County Sheriff Joe Buice and investigator Steve Burge were undoubtedly disturbed – and rightfully so – when this data was presented to the GBI and prosecutors at a meeting in December 2005 and it failed to lead to an indictment.
It’s at this point when an outside investigator – such as me – has to ask why. It’s a legal fact circumstantial evidence makes up the majority of the evidence presented at trial, so why didn’t District Attorney Richard Milam step up to the plate?

the reason waller got re-elected was Joe was getting to close to the good 'ol boys and folks got scared.
cue the waller is great stories in 3..2..1
(Many people out in Newspaperland are saying, "Here is that Bitch again"...how right you are!)
Think about this Murderer....It isn't even over when you die.
Yes, Joe Buice and Steve Burge deserve SO MUCH CREDIT for this evidence.
Yep, money talks and OLD MONEY talks really loud.
Question: Why did the ambulance stop at the courthouse first?
Answer: To remove any evidence that was left behind by the murderer(s).
And then God replied: My evidence will come later, oh dumb ones. For my bugs are smarter than all murderers in the world. They shall be discovered due to my plan by Joe Buice.
Joe, Joe...he's our man.........If he can't do it.....Joe and Steve can.
Once upon a time a mighty rain began falling. One of God's best Christian followers noticed the water had reached the level of his front porch, his steps already underwater. A small rescue boat drifted by and asked the man to get on board for his safety.
The man replied, "No thanks, my life is in God's hands. He will save me."
The rain continued to fall. It rained so much that the man was forced to climb atop his house to avoid drowning. Another, bigger boat came to offer the gentleman their life-saving services. He again refused, making it clear that God would be his rock in the storm.
Eventually, the man was forced to climb the tallest tree he could find to avoid the deep flood waters. A helicopter flew overhead and told the man to grab the rope so he could be pulled to safety. He again denied the request, stating that God would save him.
When the man opened his eyes, he saw God. He asked, "God, why did you forsake me?"
God replied, "I didn't. I sent you two boats and a helicopter."
And so.....it appears that God has some help here on earth doesn't it?
My sister told me once, "this Donna story just will not die." She is right.
God's boats and helicopters never quit.
Don't rock God's boat. Help row.
At least they have learned to properly spell my name.
Little YaYas like you are just so easy. Your comments are fodder for my reference book of worthless drivel.
