ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!

#2 Anonymous on 07/31/09 at 03:55 PM

I am not the least bit surprised.

#2.1 JM on 07/31/09 at 07:24 PM

It's a tragedy all around. The right
circumstances can produce some horrible results. I just feel sorry for her father
who has already experienced a great loss.
Prayers are with them all.

#2.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 08/01/09 at 09:19 AM

I feel sorry for his father who has experienced a tremendous loss.

#2.1.2 anonymous on 08/01/09 at 10:45 AM

You feel sorry for her father? You have got to be kidding. Who do you think helped her cover this up? He has kept her away from everybody. If I were the DA, I would proscecute him for obstruction, if not as an accessory. I wouldn't care who he was. It is about time for the "good ol' boy system" in Pike County stops. This is the 21st century and Pike County is not the rural, ignorant county that it was in the past. Thank you PCSO for all your good work. I had full confidence in you.

#2.1.2.1 Annonymous on 08/01/09 at 06:19 PM

Proscecute him? I got 20 bucks that says they'll never convict her.Your wrong the good ole boy system is hard at work anyone can be arrested but convicting them seems to be a problem in Pike County.
They have a suspected murderer that been in jail for 5 years because he will not agree to a plea.
You need to rethink where you put your confidence and hire folk that are not afraid to take things to court and proscecute to the fullextent of the law instead of lets make a deal and the DA playing Montey Hall.

#2.1.2.2 Sheila Tolley on 08/02/09 at 04:05 PM

My comment says, HIS father.

#3 O.B. on 07/31/09 at 04:29 PM

Knew it all along. She went to Grady, then was in a hospital for mental treatment...hmmmm.

Either way, divorce or murder, you still have to have a lawyer; but a divorce is a easier and cost a lot less.

#4 anonymous on 07/31/09 at 04:31 PM

If Mangham helped her cover this up, he is in a boatload of trouble.

#5 Anonymous on 07/31/09 at 05:00 PM

"Deflated and despondent" ...Come on news people, we don't need any added dramatization.

#6 anonymous on 07/31/09 at 05:51 PM

How can a woman stand at the end of her drive and blast her husband to bits? Messy. I just don't see how anyone could do that. Multiple shots....she must have been really angry.

#6.1 O.B. on 07/31/09 at 06:29 PM

The crime scene could have staged as #4 above has also come to a conclusion.

Before this arrest was made and most of the people that post on the blog knew this was going to happen but we didn't know how soon; some of the people had posted that they hope she hadn't embarassed her family and got her father into any type of trouble..

We just won't know until the trial or plea bargain.

#6.2 Anonymous on 07/31/09 at 10:02 PM

And then went to the funnel! Cold blooded

#7 anonymous on 07/31/09 at 06:23 PM

It ticks me off that the whole county was in fear of two brutes that never existed. It's not right that the sheriff's office let us all live in fear.

#7.1 Cmon' now on 08/01/09 at 12:17 AM

do you really think anyone was stupid enough to be on the lookout and in fear of their safety because they believed the two guys in the trans am story...I dont think so...

#8 WT on 07/31/09 at 06:32 PM

Well we all need to realizse that we do not know all circumstances or what lead up to this disaster. Its a tragedy anyway you look at it.

#9 anon on 07/31/09 at 06:34 PM

Who are we to judge. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. I do not condone murder, but I do believe that people in some circumstances can do things under duress that they may not do otherwise. I have known Teresa for many years, she is a kind and generous woman. This behavior is totally uncharacteristic for her, I would have never imagined such. I am so sorry for her, her family and Jimmy's family for this tragic event.

#9.1 Are you Kidding? on 08/01/09 at 06:15 AM

She must have put on a good show for you because she is a b****. She is the type that its all about me. Even at her mom's funeral, she was a good 6 feet away from her mom. She is the type of person who likes rubbing elbows with those people she considers "higher" class.

#9.1.1 LCSMITH on 08/03/09 at 11:47 AM

How well do you know her, her family, or anything about this case? Who are you and who died and made you GOD? Is this all you have to do? Judge people? I feel sorry for people like you; people who talk about things they know nothing about. Why can't you keep your horrible comments to yourself? Talk like this not only hurts the people being talked about but our entire community; knowing we have people of this mentality. May God have mercy on you; for these words you will also be judged.

#9.1.1.1 Anonymous on 08/05/09 at 04:11 PM

Hello, but it sounds like you are judging too

#9.1.1.2 Get over it! on 08/15/09 at 07:18 PM

If you don't want to read it don't come to this website.

#9.2 Pike Native on 08/01/09 at 08:58 AM

Kind and generous people don't kill their spouse when they come home from work. Other than self-defense in response to an imminent threat to one's life, there are no "circumstances" which justify the taking of another person's life. If she is found guilty, she should be punished to the full extent of the law- regardless of how "kind" she might be.

#9.3 relieved on 08/01/09 at 11:11 AM

I'm glad she was not "kind and generous" to me...

#9.4 Nosey Neighbor on 08/01/09 at 10:26 PM

Possibly, a jury of her peers. The insane don't know the difference between wrong and right. She knew it was wrong or she wouldn't have lied to cover it.

#9.5 Anonymous on 08/03/09 at 09:10 AM

I have known Buzz for 34 years and it was not in his character to do anything that deserved MURDER!!!! I don't feel sorry for her, she is a KILLER!!!!

#10 anonymous on 07/31/09 at 06:35 PM

not angry GREEDY!!!!!!!

#11 anonymous on 07/31/09 at 07:17 PM

I hope they fry her. How in the world could someone do that to such a nice and humble person? And I hope there's an investigation into any conspiracy to cover up what was done and anyone else that may have partaken in that. Anyone that calls their father instead of calling the police when "supposedly" they'd been attacked---------come on that has cover up written all over it.

#11.1 Anonymous on 07/31/09 at 09:36 PM

Amen to that!!

#12 AMAZING on 07/31/09 at 07:21 PM

I HAVE HEARD SHE WAS BEATEN OFTEN.. I DONT KNOW BUT, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO END THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR. I FEEL FOR MR. DOUG. HE IS A TRUELY GOOD MAN, AND I HATE SHE IS PUTTING HER FATHER THROUGH THIS.

#12.1 Anonymous on 07/31/09 at 09:29 PM

Are you crazy...Buzz would not have hurt a fly. Unfortunately you must not have known him.

#12.2 Marsha Lassiter on 08/01/09 at 04:13 PM

If she were beaten, why did she stay with Buzz so long? She could have left anytime without popping caps in the man. She had lots of good friends she could have gone to for help. There is no good excuse for this murder and now she must face the consequences of her alleged actions.

#12.3 Granny on 08/01/09 at 04:21 PM

She didn't have to shoot the man. She could have left.

#12.4 James Byron on 08/02/09 at 08:29 PM

Buzz didnt beat anybody. He was the kindest person you could meet. She might have lied about that, like everything else. She was only interested in his house and insurance.

#13 about time on 07/31/09 at 07:38 PM

Now all of you who were downing the PCSO, what you got to say now? I knew Jimmy Thomas and his fine young deputies would arrest the real man(in this case it was really a woman)with blue eyes,a black man(neither one existed)when they got all there ducks in a row.
Shame on you Teresa for telling such a story in order to try and save yourself.
I don't think DADDY will be able to save you from this one. I hope the family of Buzz will have some closure,but I really don't think they will,knowing that Teresa was selfish in taking the life of their son.
God Bless Buzz's family and may Buzz rest in peace.

#13.1 Anonymous on 07/31/09 at 08:44 PM

exactly, if memory serves me right the pcso has solved all of the murders that have occured in this county for the past what four or five years? yet people continue to talk trash about them and complain that they can not do their jobs. Seems to me that they are doing a pretty good job.

#13.1.1 Anonymous on 08/01/09 at 06:32 PM

how many murders have there been in Pike County?

#13.2 Ditto on 07/31/09 at 08:57 PM

Amen - You said that right!!

#14 Red on 07/31/09 at 07:49 PM

I am not at all surprised. I just wish she would have chosen divorce over death. I would like to think that her father did not cover for her. Being a parent myself I know he has been through hell with all this. But if she is responsible for her husbands death then she needs to be punished accordingly. I was beginning to think it was gonna be swept under the rug.

#15 anon on 07/31/09 at 07:55 PM

Beaten give me a break. She is evil & greedy. Generous...what a joke. Did she work...no GREEDY....

#15.1 Shame on you lowlights on 07/31/09 at 08:28 PM

You do not know everything that is going on. Let the process of law carry on. You sound like a lynch mob or old biddies in Salem looking for a witch. Give Teresa, her father and her mind some slack and time. No matter the outcome, tonight she sits all alone in a hell cell, tonight her father sits running all the events through his mind. He is a father and she is his daughter.

#15.1.1 Shame?? on 07/31/09 at 08:53 PM

She better be concerned over more than a "hell cell". Bible says thou shall not kill. Sounds like the cell she is in tonight is just the beginning of her adventures.

#15.1.1.1 Ridiculous on 08/01/09 at 07:21 AM

I would'nt be sitting here talking about what the bible says because if you read it yourself you would know that the only one to judge someone is GOD himself. I think the word for people like you is hypocrit.

#15.1.1.1.1 info on 08/01/09 at 10:56 PM

hate to say it but, if God was the only one to judge then everyone would kill someone before they were judged. that is what the judicial system is for. judges and jurors judge. it seems that God sits back and allows things like this to happen as some sort of sick game...I am sick of people saying that God does not put more on us than we can handle.. I refuse to be a pawn in some sick supernatural game that I have no control over...I say kill her back...

#15.1.1.1.1.1 Ridiculous on 08/03/09 at 05:01 PM

Sounds to me like you did not understand. Let me put it clear, yes people here on earth can and do judge others... BUT that doesn't mean it is right. What right is it of yours to judge her or what happened.. was it any of your business? And I work within the legal system so I think I know what Judges are for... But the last time I checked people blogging on this site about her and what happened don't have a black robe or the authority to say if she is or isn't guilty. Most of these comments on here are ridiculous and lack intelligence. If this was someone in your family or close to you, you'd probably think different. But hey I guess that's why there are people like you in the world... so we can have examples to fit the definition of ignorance.

#15.1.1.1.1.1.1 Anonymous on 08/05/09 at 07:38 PM

And you point would be?????????? Everyone judges or is judged everyday. You can blow smoke all you want about you don't judge, but you do. Are you friends with everyone? From your attitude it doesn't sound like it. If you let these posts get you that worked up, you shouldn't be reading them.

#16 anonymous on 07/31/09 at 09:09 PM

If Teresa was beaten very often, why didn't she call the police for a report. Oh-that's
right she doesn't know how to dial 911.
I'm sorry I don't believe she was beaten, this was not only a very sweet man, but a very small
man. If anything, she was probably beating on him. I hope all the truth comes out. And I hope her dad didn't cover up for her. She should be ashamed to blame two Caterpillar employees with this crime.Rest in Peace Buzz.
We will always miss you.

#16.1 Get off it! on 07/31/09 at 09:28 PM

Buzz was a small man?
So is Charles Manson.
You are a real Dick Tracy.

I knew it was shady!!! I hope she pays dearly!!! Apparently she doesn't believe in GOD!!! The dad should be ashamed too!!! He had to cover up!!! If she didn't want Buzz she should have divorced him!! He was a good man!!! We miss at Caterpillar!!!!

#20 citizen on 07/31/09 at 09:33 PM

This is so sad. I knew it was going to come down to this, it was obvious. I feel so sorry for Mr. Mangham and Buzz's family. I can't believe she would put them through something like this. Of course she deserves to be punished weather it be prision or the lethal injection, but her dad and buzz's family don't deserve this. How could she be so selfish? I hope her mom in heaven can't see all that's going on in her life or I'm sure she is shedding tears. I will be praying for both families.

#21 Donna Reeves on 07/31/09 at 09:44 PM

I knew why she was life flighted. It would show if she shot him or not! Why it took so long is also explainable. They wanted all the eveidence they could obtain for a conviction. Don't thank the Pike County Sheriff's Office, Thank the GBI.

I made a mistake and went to the sheriff with eveidence and ask for help.

Believe what you want to!

#22 PrivateOne on 07/31/09 at 10:15 PM

Well, it's not exactly rocket science... But, as they began to seriously close in on her sorry, pathetic self, she takes a vacation -- to the looney bin -- and now, she has the possibility of pleading "insane". Boy, sounds like they had mega planning for this tragic event. Too bad we don't have... eye for an eye... she needs to be greatly punished for what she's done; but ya know, the real punishment will come.

#22.1 JM on 08/01/09 at 08:42 AM

You PEOPLE STOP IT!!!!!
UNLESS YOU WALK IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES, YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES ON OR WHAT YOU WOULD DO
IN THEIR CIRCUMSTANCE. PRAYERS GO OUT TO HER,
DOUG, AND BUZZ'S FAMILY. THEY ALL SUFFER.

#22.1.1 Shoes? on 08/01/09 at 12:44 PM

No, others have not walked in her shoes, but does it justify killing someone? She apparently was not in danger if he was at the end of the driveway coming home from when it happened and she is in the front yard down a long drive way. If there were beating going on, then why not leave while he is at work? She could have stayed at her dad's until she could get on her feet. But, no she did not choose that, she chose to take his life. So, if she did do it, then it would be safe to say she was being selfish and not a nice person.

Also, if you know so much about walking in her shoes why don't you share?

#22.1.2 A TIP FOR JM on 08/01/09 at 04:36 PM

#22.2 Hmmmm.. on 08/01/09 at 09:15 AM

Could it be that the trip to the looney bin was part of a proactive strategy in preparation for an insanity plea? Doesn't she have a relative who is a very prominent local criminal defense attorney?

i went to school with Buzz. he was a nice man.but lets wait to pass judgement. you can t always judge a book by its cover.july 16 42 years ago.i married one of the sweetest men on earth to every one else.behind closed doors he turned into a wife beater and a rapest.many times i wished him dead. but i chose divorce.it took me MANY years to get over this abuse.he has been married 9 times and has treated all 9 just like he treated me. one wife did shoot him once but not in the right place@@@@@@@@

#28 CRAZY WOMAN on 08/01/09 at 09:29 AM

Noone ever knows what goes on behind closed doors...but we all know that God does not give us more pain than one can handle. Even if she were being beaten or abused or whatever, she could have gotten out without taken a mans life; a son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin. It was all the DEVIL!!! Why do you date someone for 20 yrs. get married for 2 then kill him??!! I hope she is punished to the fullest. If she is CRAZY, which we all know she is, she will probably kill herself. I just hope she is tortured in jail before she gets off too easy.

#28.1 Not crazy on 08/01/09 at 11:43 AM

were you at shella tolley? you sure had alot to say when this story broke. you had comments that people of pike didn't know what they talkin about. you bad mouth people and called them rotten names. 90% of the comments were true SHE DID IT. so there stick that in your computer and stuffit. Oh ya and another thing rumors say DOUG turned the gun in. so he must have had it all this time, so he knew to and had the weapon THEY NEED TO SEND HIM TO JAIL TO.He IS NOT any better then anyone eles.if they get out of this pike needs help.bond hell no.

#36.1 Sheila Tolley on 08/02/09 at 04:26 PM

If someone bothered me as much as I, EVIDENTLY, bother you.....I believe I would have enough self-control not to read my comments. Are you tall enough to reach the keyboard? If so, scroll past anything that has Sheila Tolley as the writer. If not, call your Mama and ask her to give you a booster chair so you can reach that scroll button. But to answer your silly a$$ questions, the only thing that I see missing in all these entertaining comments is the word "ALLEDGELY."

#36.2 Me on 08/03/09 at 06:39 AM

Im so glad there are other people that understand where im coming from. Sheila has pretty much said that Theresa is innocent and anyone who doesn't believe that is stupid. Well, all i have to say is whose looking dumb now. Yep Sheila, its you. Guess you don't know everything!

#36.2.1 Sheila Tolley on 08/03/09 at 03:39 PM

Sheila has not pretty much said that anyone is innocent. Put down that joint and read all this again when your mind is clear. I said, "I do not know Teresa." I said, " Buzz is one of the most polite and hardest working people that I have ever met." You do not need to try and read between lines on my comments, sweetheart........I make them perfectly clear. As it stands now, A good friend of mine, a son, a brother...and a damn good employee for Caterpillar is dead. His wife is allegedly guilty of the murder. Not guilty, allegedly guilty. Is that simple enough for you. No, I have never claimed to know everything. But I do know my name. Are you ashamed of yours? Or just afraid to let people know who you are?

#37 anon on 08/02/09 at 02:24 PM

He did not beat her or ever lay a hand on her. Ask her dad. She was after A SUGAR DADDY & UNTIL the money was starting to slow down all was fine. Insurance?????

#38 Anonymous on 08/02/09 at 02:40 PM

If your child, eventhough they were grown, did anything....even murder, you would do anything in your power to protect them (that's the love of a parent). Whatever Mr. Doug did he did out of love for his daughter. I'm not saying it's right but he only wanted to protect his child. You folks need to think long and hard about how you would handle your child in the same situation. I have 2 children and I'll always love them no matter what they do....give Mr. Doug a break, he's a father and he got caught up in a terrible situation. My prayers go out to the Mangham family and to the Buzz's family!

#38.1 Grand Pooba on 08/02/09 at 04:16 PM

To a degree your right. A parent for the most part loves their children regardless. I have two as well, yet I will not engage in direct involvement of say "murder". But, under certian situations I may turn a deaf ear. I have a brother that is a mercenary (works for Blackwater) & I would never say or talk about his actions. If Mr. M crossed the line to protect his daughter, then he should resign.

#38.1.1 anonymous on 08/03/09 at 05:59 AM

Does your brother work out at Centerfield?

#38.1.2 Blackwater on 08/03/09 at 10:19 AM

Oh Grand Pooba the Black water community would like to thank you for your information on a mercenary, one shot one kill. You are a true dumb arse that could open the door to much grief, torture and death to others. You are the type of bragger individual that puts Blackwater in harms way. Thank GOD you are not my sister.

#38.1.2.1 Grand Pooba on 08/03/09 at 05:08 PM

This isn't about Blackwater, Teresa B acted as a merc. That's what I was trying to convey. Coldblooded and acted as if nothing happened.
As far as my bro, Blackwater is a awsome company with professional ex-military men/women. The same ones that helped maintained your freedom . They aren't thug/killers as you may think. Now Tereas acted as a thug!!! Clayton County style....

Now come back with something useful!

#38.1.2.1.1 Freedom on 08/04/09 at 06:14 AM

Grand Sis Pooba,
I helped maintain your freedom so you may post crap. Is that "something useful" for your "awsome" BS? I'm sure you make your "bro" proud.

#40 Anonymous on 08/03/09 at 10:30 AM

As far as Teresa goes. I worked with her briefly at State Farm and I viewed her as an unfeeling self-absorbed person who on the outside looked organized perfection but on the inside was holding in emotions of extreme anger that was smoldering waiting to erupt. She was the kind of person that wanted the world to perceive her as sweet, under control, and together. But was in fact, anything but. You have to look deeper into the homelife that helped to create her! From what she told me, her father was anything but sweet!

All of these comments are entertaining however nothing has been reported about motive or whether Mr. Mangham was involved in any way so everything at this point is speculative. I think that rather than assume she is greedy or selfish or whatever and/or Mr. Mangham is involved we need to wait until the facts are revealed. Two families have been devasted over this incident; there is no need to hurt them any further by name calling or finger pointing. Jimmy Thomas and the sheriff's department are good at what they do and all will be revealed in accordance with what is best for them and their case. Until then...patience is the order of the day.

Why wait for judgement on Doug. He lied to me about the vote on the gas line and I bet the biffy that he has lied to cover up for her. All my trust for him is gone and he needs to be gone. Let the powers to be appoint us another comm until one is elected.

I didn't agree with the "electric chair" however, I think it should be brought back in this case!!! She is a cold hearted killer!! A BEAST!!

Did't someone say she lived with him for a while before he took over his parents care and assets? When did she marry him and how long were they married?

Who? Donna?

#47 anonymous on 08/04/09 at 08:59 AM

I know about abuse myself, and you never get over it,,(NEVER) but taking another life is not abuse it is MURDER and that is another Matter...But if I for one minute thought I needed to defend myself that is another matter also...we don't really know the truth only two people do and one is dead.....

your ignorant morons if you think buzz abused her.....look at her dear father if you want to find the source of the abuse. keep living in your caves if you want too....just dont cry when the bear comes home and kills you.

Mr. Doug is a very good & kind man who I know personally is going through pure hell right now! What gives you the right to judge him, Buzz or Mrs. Burousus? He is supporting his daughter because that is what we as parents do. If she is guilty or not is not our decision to make. Just keep all these families in your prayers. Mr. Doug please keep your head up and remember who your true friends are in times like these. Believe that your burdens will be lifted when the truth comes out. God will ease the pain that you and the rest of the family has suffered in the past month. I still feel blessed to have been given the chance to know you. You are a very special person and I hope you realize how many people do support and love you no matter what the outcome!

My heart also aches for the family. I can't fathom how this happened, but I understand how a parent would want to protect a child. It's just what you do. I wish everybody would at least consider the possibility that mental illness is a factor here, rather than immediately deciding it was a set up for defense purposes. Look at your own extended families. Can you honestly say mental illness hasn't affected your family in some way or fashion? I know it has mine. Obviously I don't have a clue what really happened, but let's let our judicial system work. It may be our last vestige of the Constitution, the way things are going in Washington!

It's time for Doug to go. I don't trust him after he lied about the gas line vote and now his cover up for his daughter. He knew where the gun was hidden. I think he is to involved trying to help his daughter and not taking care of or having Pike county business on the front of his plate. Be gone and let someone else lead Pike, putting Pike first. I hear that some Pike business has not been taken care of due to all this.

#50.1 What a crybaby? on 08/12/09 at 10:39 PM

Do you have a family "Dave"? assuming that is your real name (not). Family, regardless of your occupation, comes first!!!!

#51 charles schwable on 08/21/09 at 04:45 AM

there's alot of interesting and disturbing comments,but, everybody's comment mean nothing as god looks at our life as filfthy rags,so it doesn't matter what you say judging teresa or her family or buzz's,god's judgement you all can't handle!!!!!,so, think what you say.

#52 Nene on 08/21/09 at 08:10 AM

I really hope nothing ever happens and that one of yalls children screw up someday... Good Lord there is not any evidence that Doug has done anything illegal..The man has lived 77 years above the law and yall are going to crucify because of something his daughter allegedly did. If you have a problem with his pipeline vote post it on that thread, this is an entirely different thread. He is not responsible for his adult childs behaviour, but I would be disappointed if he suddenly stopped being her father, no matter what she did. It will all come out in the wash anyway.
