Hey Warren, MN...where would be a good place for us to get together?

The tale of Two Rhondas. I'll be honest. That is a title I never thought I'd ever write. But, it's true crime...so..

A few weeks go, I learned of a mother who had a daughter who lived with a guy who Kevin Skjerven swapped his truck out for...and they other guy worked on his truck that was covered in mud.

Now, the Rhonda who is the mother of the woman dating the guy who fixed the truck thought her daughter, Angie, cut Skjerven's hair shortly after. However, today I spoke with a different Rhonda who was a student at the college in Thief River Falls...and says she cut his hair and turned it over to the local law enforcement.

Two Rhondas. No *&it.

Either way, Skjerven seems to have cut his hair shortly after giving Voni Safranski a ride home that night...but she never made it.

For the record, I just emailed former prosecutor Mark Hammer of St. Louis. I asked him how John Woodward became Jeff R*&^*&((. Just putting this here in case som**hing happens.

Found the original letter from polygrapher David Knefelcamp to attorney Jan Tarvestad. The prosecution tried claiming Jan wasn't doing legit legal work for John. BTW, he passed the damn polygraph. I've even seen where others claim it was inconclusive.

BTW, John asked for a polygraph multiple times after they arrested him in 2010...and they refused to provide one.

Hot off the presses. Just received these. The incident report alleging what he did is near the end of the file. He has a way of getting people into his car...then going on a detour. Sound familiar? (Safranski case)

I visited Minneapolis today and saw John Woodward. He gave me an entire box of things to look through. Here's what it looks like when the Dakota County Drug Task Force searches your home looking for two ounces of m**h that doesn't exist.

Does anyone in the Warren, MN area know when the west half of the beet dump was developed into the current form? In 1991, that run is not there. In 2003, it is there. Anyone know when the western side of it was installed?

This ring vanished with Veronica Safranski in 1996. It was a prize awarded to her from her from Mary Kay cosmetics. Likely someone has one like it...or a color photograph of one. Please pass this along...we'd like a clear, color picture of a ring like this.
