May God comfort you in this horrible, tragic loss and may you be healed from your physical injuries. Justice will be served in the end if not before. Bless you and your entire family, as well as your husband's family.
I agree everyone needs to let the police do their job. I hope the wife is not involved in this whole thing. Whoever is involved will get what is coming to them "What goes around Comes around". Buzz was a good man and he will be deeply missed.
My heart lifts a little know that Mrs. Burousas has come home. May God be with you will you heal Physically and Metally. I know what it is like to loose your husband but never to loose him from this kind of tragedy!! Let's all bow our heads and pray for this loving faimly!!

God is with Teresa, her family and the Burousas family.
It is a time to think and pray for this family.
Thank you Mr. Walter Geiger for being a professional editor and writer. There is no reason and a shame for the remarks coming from the other site by it's two jealous cats attempting to control issues and hits on their defunked site.
I seen the same thing also, she looks fine to me
Channel 2 showed her and she looks fine... She also didn't look sad about her husband being killed. Something doesn't fit, you are right.
I agree with that. Information that we have been given is just odd. From an investigators point of view, it just dont add up. Maybe, the information is just bein given out with the incorrect wording, or order, or something, but it automatically sets off red flags. Sorry if that sounds heartless. Prayers will be there for the persons involved.
I was thinking the same thing. To be life flighted to Grady and be walking around your yard less than 24 hours later looking perfectly fine after a savage beating. ODD! Something is fishy.
You all sit here and speculate that something doesn't sound right. Have you ever thought that maybe things are being left out so that nosey gossiping people don't spread rumors which may prevent law enforcement from catching these idiots. Why don't all of you pay the family a little respect for god's sake? So what if you feel she wasn't "savagely" beaten....she lost her husband...is that not enough. Jeez people get a grip...don't you have something going on in your life you can speculate about. I read this paper everyday and I glance over these comments and it makes me sick to read what some of you write especially about something so tragic. Instead of saying "something doesn't sound right" maybe you should try saying "PCSO post pictures of these thugs all around so us as citizens can help catch them and put them away for what they have done to this family"...because from what I understand there are very large pictures posted at CAT of these guys. Some of you people need to realize that if this happened to one of your loved ones, you wouldn't want to read garbage like some of the comments under this article.
Caterpillar is not a police agency. Unless one of their employees witnessed the crime, how do they know who did it? If there was a witness, please, for everyone's sake, come forward. Unitl then all of you people with nothing better to do than sit on your computer and trash PCSO, get a life. Who do you call when the neighbor's dog gets into your prized gardens? PCSO! I don't understand why Teresa didn't call 911. If someone I didn't know attacked me and killed my husband, I would be on 911 screaming for them to catch these animals. I wouldn't call Daddy. He can't rally a whole force to try and catch killers before they got out of the county. Maybe if she had, they would have already caught them. Maybe she has something to hide. There was a similar "incident" in another state in the past. The wife hired hit men to kill her husband and they beat her up to make it look good. Since her father is a county commissioner maybe PCSO is handling this with the utmost care. They need the time to investigate this and find who actually did it. If this was not a "hit", why was he shot? They didn't beat her badly enough for her to even spend 24 hours in the hospital. They didn't know what time he got home unless someone told them. If they were temps at Caterpillar, they have been long gone and the shifts have changed due to downsizing. All you people need leave the PCSO to do their job and catch who did this awful thing.
Maybe you should do some investigating your self before you speculate that there are some very large pictures of these guys at CAT!! For your information.....There are "NO" large pictures of these thugs posted here at CAT!! I am an employee of CAT and you make me sick!! Don't talk about other's when you, in fact are doing the same thing!! Do me a favor.....Next time you walk into Church, walk out like you have been in Church!!
God bless this loving family and take all the pain away from them physically and mentally!! Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next time you go to church I hope you walk out with a sincere desire to be more Christ-like yourself. That would require you to not pass judgment on others.
So called Christians like you are what cause other people to not go to Church. I'd rather sit home and watch Joyce Meyer on TV than to pew sit with a bunch of self rightous hypocrits like you.
That is where you are wrong my dear friend....I am no hypocrite like you are...I was not judging anyone...Only pointing out that you was speculating as much as the other folks on here....but wait...You are so Christian like and you think you know how to act but yet you are judging me.....hummmmmmmm.......
I guess what they say is true.....the apple does not fall far from the tree....Just saying......
I am not your dear friend, I do not know you. At least I hope I don't know you. I just get tired of your rants on here, finger pointing at other posters then turning around and offering up a prayer. It just reeks of hypocrisy to me. Especially when you add "I hate you" to your rants.
Why not let the Professionals....(GBI) do the investigation. Pike county does not have the knowledge or the means to investigate a crime like this.
They will catch whoever is responsible and the should pay the ultimate price but I will bet a paycheck that it will not be pursued that way because it cost too much money for that kind of case.
Look for a plea because the DA will
FYI...my husband works at Cat and I can assure you that there are no pictures posted of these men at Cat. As a matter of fact, word is at Cat that things seem a little fishy. If the investigators know who these guys are they certainly aren't saying. My heart goes out to this family, but I have to agree with the others...things don't add up.
Snapped is a cable television program that documents murders.The victims are usually men who have been murdered by their wives. I believe it comes on Oxygen or WE, but I'm not positive.
I work at CAT and NO there aren't any pictures posted of anyone...we ALL wish we knew who was responsible because Buzz was a GREAT man who did not deserve this. May GOD bless all.
Well get this.... I saw a car that matched the description of the "white pontiac trans am" yesterday on my way home from work. So I called the PCSO and told them, but they didn't seem to care. They didn't even ask me any questions. She told me I would need to hang up and call 911 and get the county that I was in police out there to investigate! What the crap.... That to me seemed a little funny. Needless to say, I called and they said they would get someone out to check it out. I don't know if they did or didn't, but the car was gone this morning.
I just think if there was a murder and someone said they saw the car that matched the description, there would be a little more interest! Just a thought.....
Don't get me wrong, I have lived in Pike Co. all my life and PCSO has always done a good job at solving crimes. But I'm with the other people on this, something just doesn't seem right.
God bless the people involved in this. I hope whomever commited this awful crime is found.
Oddly enough, I too called 911 this morning after spotting a white trans-am cruising around near Strickland Road this morning. The windows were tinted very dark, so I couldn't tell who was in it.
The SO did respond, very quickly, but of course the car was gone.
in my opinion no one would be "life" flighted unless they were in critical condition with "life" threatning injuries. If she was fine 24 hours later, why was she life flighted? She could've taken a short ride to URMC. This all really seems fishy. If you have to be choppered into atlanta for medical attention, where do you find the time to call your father? 911 would've been my first call! The paper and news say a white trans am, i talked to a PCSO officer yesterday and he told me it was a white firebird! Get the facts right someone! how can the citizen help with this if the get-away car keeps changing!

Get your facts straight

A Firebird is the base model for a Trans Am so there isn't any real differance. Step back now and take a deep breath and get off the backs of those doing their job!
Buzz, you will be missed by alot of people here at CAT. I worked close to him and was just getting to know him. He was a very nice and polite man. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. For those guilty of this crime, I hope you pay dearly for taking this mans life.
Sheila, the people you rake across the coals have feelings just like Buzz's family. You tore Mindi and Mr. Williams to bits. You know their families may be reading and you could care less. You judge people before the courts ever get to them, before you have all the facts. Take a look in the mirror. It isn't too late for you to become a person of substance. You could offer sympathy, comfort, words of encouragement but you choose not to. You were not put on this earth to be hateful to others.
What Mr. Williams are you even talking about and who are you? Anonymous writers are like Dry Paint signs, they serve no real purpose, but good for an occasional laugh. If I am rude, I take the heat for it. You wimpy people hide under Anonymous umbrellas. I am a person of substance. I am not afraid to use my name. What are you afraid of? Sympathy for who, comfort to who, encourage what? I can't stand obama either in case you want to put him on this list you are creating.
I believe most of the people who won't use their names are afraid of the backlash of the rednecks that live in the county. . . .Or maybe afraid of being shot in their driveway. . .whether I am someone of substance or not is not for me to tell you nor do I have to prove it to you or anyone else, but I do have a family to protect from the likes of some of the crazy folks in this county.

You know what my Mommy always told me?? If you don't do stupid things or hang around with the wrong people then you don't have to worry about your name being dragged in the dirt.....
Everybody needs to realize that Jimmy has a lot of work to do on not only this case but many others. This man never sleeps when murders happen in Pike.
You all need to be thankful that you have a real sheriff instead of a Barney Fife like Thomaston and Griffin.
My prayers go out to the Burousas and Mangham families and I pray for a speedy capture of these cowardly thugs. Thank to all of the deputies in Pike and a great thank you to Jimmy for being the sheriff he is.
Fan of Jimmy Thomas - YES!!! If the wife is not guilty, Jimmy & the GBI will find out. If she is guilty, Jimmy will do his job and find a special cell to put her in.

Tired of the finger pointing
on
07/06/09 at 03:40 PM
You know it is really sad that all people has to do is sit at a computer and down and accuse someone of wrong doing.
All these people that are pointing fingers, do any of you all even know Teresa?
I remember when she worked at City Pharmacy and I honestly do not believe she is capable of hurting anyone or anything. Until you have been in her shoes you don't know what you would have done. You can say what you would have done but you don't know. I probably would have called my parents first also. That is natural I would guess.
I believe that suspects will be caught and I hope all of you that are pointing fingers eat your words.
There is only one judge and he is the one that counts, she does not have to answer to anyone else.
Teresa's lack of emotion could be due to medication. Doctor's have been known to prescribe medication after tragic events. She could also still be in shock. It sometimes takes time for reality to sink in.
Medication does not put everyone in that kind of state of mind when a tragedy happens. I also lost my husband 6 months ago and no kind of sedative affected me "at all". My body went completely numb and my emotions over road the medication.
I am not saying I do not believe or disbelieve in the events that have happened!! I am just one concerned person that lost a great friend!!
I will greatly miss Buzz...There is a dark cloud hanging over CAT...He was one of the nicest and kindest people I know. I will greatly miss his good mornings and always taking the time to speak to almost everyone. I think I speak for everyone that has worked with him that he will be missed dearly. I pray that whoever is behind this is caught.
this is really sad:( i really am starting to think that Teresa had something to do with this.....i'm just sayin, she was on the news WALKING HER DOG!!! NOT CRYING?? i'm sorry but if my husband just got killed i dont think that i would be in that state????
I bought the Griffin facility after the last lay-off, so now I can stay on the computer all I want. Aren't you happy about that? I just cannot decide which shade of pink I want to use. I am so tired of that old yellow. Thanks for being alert. Let me know if any of my employees are playing on the computer during working hours. OK?
You are an awesome individual. Your good looks are only exceeded by your exceptional intelligence and personality. Your sensitivity and empathy for others touches all the hearts of others. I am sure a seat in Heaven awaits you. I hope it is beside mine.
Sheila, you need to sale CAT and buy a personality with it. Are you sure that your not one of the ones that's suppose to be cleaning the bathrooms, and is sneaking around playing on the computer. My bathroom is nasty - I think you need to get off the computer and clean it.
Write back when you can spell anonymous without abbreviating it. Just like the little train that thought it could. Be positive. You can spell a big word. Don't let Mommy catch you on that computer again.
i have a question, do you really have a life i bet that you have to look up words so you sound really smart. most people dont have time to stay on the computer all day and night cause they have a life.i know why alot of people didnt like you at work.i promise the next time we have an adult party, ill be sure to invite you so you can have something else to do with your time.
SORRY I GOT OTHER THINGS TO DO AT WORK. THATS NOT MY JOB BUT WHEN YOU GET BACK TO WORK FROM YOUR OVER WEIGHT PROBLEMS WHEN WE WILL HAVE CLEAN BATHROOMS CAUSE THATS THE ONLY JOB THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO WITHOUT SOMEBODY TAKING YOU TO HR CAUSE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU.
I really did not think there was anyone as mean as you are in Zebulon? Who are you jealous of or mad at? It can't be me. I am fat, ugly, old and crippled. What can I do to make you feel better Honey?

If your bathroom is that nasty............why don't you clean it??
( WINK, WINK )
sheila i think you need to try and find a date to take you somewhere so you dont have to be on the computer all the time. thats if somebody will take you out.i wonder what k.N would say about you being on the computer looking at stuff you shouldn't. maybe i need to show him what they are paying you for.
I think that if Buzz was still here he would not want anyone in a big argument over this. He would want everyone to ban together and find out who did this awful act. He would not want all this ugly talk between the people in his community. Buzz never had an ugly word towards anyone. I think that the citizens of the community need to ban together for Buzz and put all this energy into catching the people that are behind this ugly crime. Buzz is a GREAT and kind man, we as his friends need to remember this. Lets keep everyone involved in this awful crime in our prayers. God will lead Jimmy Thomas to the killers. Prayer is a powerful thing so lets ban together and pray and you will be amazed at what will happen. God is in control, even in the tough times. Pray.
Sheila, you really need to get a life!! are you seriously on the computer 24/7??? omg! but yeah the dog may still need to **** but she shouldn't be outside playing with it!! i mean if she had really gotten "beat so badly" then how the hell is she doing that anyways?? stop being in denial ok!! face the facts there is a possibility that she may have did it! who are you anyways? what makes you think that you know everything and everyone??
Please quit reading my comments to this paper. Unless you are The Blog Police, shut up. If you got a problem with me, put your name out there and we will hash it out. I already told you I work 24/7 on the computer for PIRT. Prompt Idiot Response Team. You tie up alot of my time. I could be writing to smarter idiots.
SHEILA YOU SURE ARE FAST TO CALL SOMEONE A IDIOT LOOK IN THE MIRROR ARE YOU SURE PIRT DOESN'T MEAN (pathetic, inconsiderate, retarded, Tolley) AND INSTEAD OF A NAME IT BEING A DESCRIPTION. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK OR OINK WHICH EVER IT MIGHT BE. NOT AFRAID TO PUT MY NAME LETS GO.
I think it takes an idiot to read my comments. I love you!

People on this site seem to care more about what this Sheila Tolley has to say then what is really going on......I bet you people can't wait for her next post so you can jump right on it.
You guys sure are saving the tax payers dollars by trying her outside of court of the court system!!
sheila go fly a kite in a lightning storm. seriously if you dont think she is involved in this. your either best buddies in denial or a complete loser who watches soap operas all day eating ho hos and twinkies...
I have never met this lady in my life. I know Buzz from work and have only good things to say about him. It really ticks your kind off to hear anything good about someone, doesn't it? Pass the word to your buddies that Michael Jackson died so that you can have someone new to harass.
Now moonwalk on out of here.
I was just wondering that If you were attacked why anyone in there right mind would call there father? 3 digit 911 is alot faster to dial then 10 digits. and i am sure that the response time from concord which is 2miles is faster also. was that giving the people time to get away? and in reports that the wife know the one guys, why hasn't she said who the hell it is? as a person that lives not to far away from this awfull crime you would think that the wife would have the common sence to let the people of pike know who these people are or give a discription of them. makes alot of us think there wasn:t any robbers .ever time i go outside now i am extra alert.at nite when the neigbors dogs are barking your listening to the bark to hear if it any different. watching for strange cars on the road and listening for car doors to close in the yard. like alot of you had said.lock and load.so if there is not any robbers you need to TELL THE TRUTH. because every thing always comes out in the end.
everyone sure seems to know HOW to react when something this horrible happens. I hope and pray it was not a set up... but until the facts are proven maybe we should all stop throwing stones.
who's throwing stones it is commom thoughts. what would you have done.? are you looking for strange cars and strange people in your neighorhood?I don't throw stones I am just giving my thoughts on the matter.facts will prove something when someone who know something brags or talks to the wrong person and gets caught.an i sure hope it's soon.

I don't talk about people, I talk about the actions and reactions of people. You can rest assured that you do not know me. That is evident by your comments. Ignorant does not mean that you are stupid...it means that "one does not have all the facts." So in this case about Buzz...I am sure we are all IGNORANT! In fact, the fact that you spelled my name wrong in comment 24 does not necessarily make you stupid. You are probably just a real fast typist. I have a lot to say because I am so very, very intelligent. My classes start next month if you care to sign up. But I am not going to let you retake tests or change your grades to be higher no matter how much tax money we lose. Now go study for your entrance exam. Good Luck...happy trails to you until we meet again!
I just want to say, I love Sheila Tolley! I laugh every time I read a post by her.....Sheila, you have the best responses to these people. I am inspired and enlighted by your quick wit! Keep up the good work!
I appreciate that very much, kleb. Evidently many people hate me, I am glad I have you left with a positive comment. I cannot help but get tickled at some of these CAPITAL LETTER BLOGGERS. Evidently they think the volume actually increases when we read them. I have a book that was published and I wrote the entire publication in capital letters. It makes for easier reading for my old eyes. Bless their little hearts. They are alligators with the bite of mosquitoes. Thanks again kleb.
Since so many of you readers have already found Teresa guilty of Buzz's death and she is not even a suspect, can you solve this one for us. On July 16, 1984, Donna Ogletree Johnson was found brutally murdered. If we could have had the knowledge of the Pike County talent, so smart like Nostradamus, that we have today,this case would have been solved. I just know it. Sick'em...
You don't know for sure that Teresa Burrousas isn't a suspect. The PCSO just hasn't NAMED her a suspect. Donna Johnston's husband has been a suspect in her death for a long time, but that didn't become common knowledge until a while later. He hasn't been charged due to mistakes made during the initial investigation.
Look Columbo. You handle Donna Johnson's murder over in B'ville that is over 25 years old and let The Pike County Sheriff's Department handle Buzz's. OK?
Look Smart Ass, you brought up the Donna Johnson murder. I just thought I'd give you some information on that one. Chill out and take your medicine.....your posts leave no doubt that you need it.
So Donna's murderer walked because of investigation mistakes? OK? We will trust Sheriff Thomas on the Pike County murder then. Thanks for the info. Have a drink and settle down.
