Census worker hanged with 'fed' on body

This story is not fully understood yet, but it could be bad:

The FBI is investigating the hanging death of a U.S. Census worker near a Kentucky cemetery, and a law enforcement official told The Associated Press the word 'fed" was scrawled on the dead man's chest.

The body of Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census field worker and occasional teacher, was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky. The Census has suspended door-to-door interviews in rural Clay County, where the body was found, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Investigators are still trying to determine whether the death was a killing or a suicide, and if a killing, whether the motive was related to his government job or to anti-government sentiment.

It's possible that the man committed suicide, but unlikely, given his profile.

Two other non-political possibilities: Maybe he was mixed up in something he shouldn't have been. Or maybe he stumbled across a local's pot patch or still while doing his census job.

The last, and most troubling possibility is that he was murdered for being a tentacle of ZOG and the Socialist Conspiracy. What do Orgahs think?

I blame the 24 hour news cycle.

He was obviously a tentacle of ZOG threatening to undermine the powerful land of the free, America.

Granpappy used to shoot at the census man to. Glad to see this is coming back en vouge

Assuming this is some anti goverment murder I hope 'the fed' hits him with everything they have... screw these whacko conspiracy nuts...

My guess:

Kentucky + National Forest + Dead Government Dude = Pot farm.

Oh for crying out loud.

Finally someone rebels against the oppressive government, and he's hanged?!??!

What happened to the guns?? They haven't been taken yet! America, where are your grapes??

:yes:

I hear growing pot in National Forests is becoming quite a problem.

Edit: Here's an even more relevant link.

The remote and rugged terrain, including the 700,000 acres of the Daniel Boone National Forest, is a pot-grower's paradise — its perfect soil and climate give it a key place in America's "Marijuana Belt."

It's called the Bluegrass state for a reason. ~;)

If it is the Klan the real scary part is they spelled Fed correctly.

Definitely doesn't sound like suicide ...

Bill Sparkman, the Census worker found dead in Kentucky recently was not found hanging from a tree, according to an FBI spokesman. Rather, David Beyer told TPMmuckraker, Sparkman's feet were planted on the ground. A rope around Sparkman's neck was attached to a tree.

A fine cell and possibly the hangmans noose waits for the man who did that very sad indeed

Oh my, people really think that this is an anti-government conspiracy/murder? :no: Bet your behind that you will find out that it had nothing to do with it (or worse, someone did that to draw suspision of themselves for the murder).

Doubt it, why leave someone hanging in the open when the last you can use is attention.

Maybe it is like the Da Vinci code. He got shot/wounded serverely, so in his final moments, he wrote who did it "Fed" and hung himself up for attention then did a draconian code in sticks and leaves on the floor, starting a quest to find the lost moderator and a evil plot to force a storm in Tosa's teacup.

Do we all really have to make jokes about this tis a bit tasteless someone is dead

Hmm you are right gonna contact Tosa, hang on brb

No but man is still dead and the first few comments in the thread are jokey in nature.

I know that none of the members are really going out of there way to be insensitive but this is the internet and not a private room where we might understand the context of the statement.

Anyways its early days in this incident the police are still looking at it are they not it might turn out to be murder or a case of sucide so probably best to err on the side of caution with this one at least thats what I think

Wasn't Fred

oh geez. you ppl need to lighten up. for real.

New details:

A part-time census worker found hanging in a rural Kentucky cemetery was naked, gagged and had his hands and feet bound with duct tape, said an Ohio man who discovered the body two weeks ago. The word "fed" was written in felt-tip pen on 51-year-old Bill Sparkman's chest, but authorities have released very few other details in the case, such as whether they think it was an accident, suicide or homicide.

Hmm. Accident and suicide seem ... shall we say ... unlikely. Hard to kill yourself when your hands and feet are bound with duct tape. Not saying it's impossible. Maybe some exceptionally clever person can figure out how to kill himself with a rope around his neck while his feet are on the ground and his extremities are duct taped. I guess it could happen.

Maybe he is a thoughtful murderer and gives his victims a last meal.

Was he a Conservative MP by any chance?

Was his liver eaten with a nice chianti? Then we could easily figure out the killer.

Did not have his hands and feet bound. That tends to make solo auto-asphyxiation a difficult process.

Go up onto a tree branch, tie the noose, duct tape yourself, arrange the rope so that it goes from being tied on the same branch you're standing on over a higher branch so that when you jump off you'll be off the ground, but select the branch that the rope goes over so that it will eventually break under the weight and you'll drop to the ground.

Only a Texan.

It's amazing that basically everyone of Lemur's posts are discussing the possibility of this being a suicide.

Ok everybody figured it out by now, but was it the butler, and did he use a chandalier.

Well, it looks like we can put this one to rest. It was suicide.

He apparently arranged the scene to look like a murder because his family wouldn't be eligible for life insurance if he killed himself.

Quote:

---

Authorities said Sparkman alone manipulated the scene to conceal a suicide. Police said he had talked with others about ending his life, though authorities did not say specifically who in a news release.

Sparkman had recently taken out two life insurance policies that would not pay out for suicide, authorities said. If Sparkman had been killed on the job, his family also would have been be eligible for up to $10,000 in death gratuity payments from the government.

And now you know why. It was always a possibility.

On a forum near you, revenge of the nerco'd thread.

It ain't necromancy if there's new, relevant info, as Xiahou demonstrates.

Why would'nt he bind his hands and feet? what was he thinking? It isn't that hard. Maybe he wanted to keep one foot in the door.

He killed himself, so its open season on the moron. I bet he was hoping President Hopey Changey would give him one of those shiney American Freedom Medals postumously. Too bad this psuedo-jesus of the Left turned out to be a regular old insurance fraud whacko teaching our children!!! God, I love the public school system. Of course, I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for all the liberal talk show hosts, media whores, or celebu-tards to come out and apologise to the folks they accused of this "crime". :laugh4:

Hey did Nancy Grace cover it?

The funniest part is that he thought he had cancer. And didn't. It's almost enough to make me believe there is a Satan.

Agreed, that is kind of over the top, but I believe his point is that everyone in the media was pointing figures at conservatives (so were some people on this forum) when they had absolutely no idea at all, and AGAIN ended up falsely accusing innocent people.

DevDave is the exception to the rule. He cannot "burn out" or fade -- he is legion.

I have said throughout this thread that it was a suicide!! :smug:

If the group was actually anal retentive, then it would be likely that they would double check, Dave. That's an inconsistency in your post.

That is what Dave is saying... that with this group they will double check because they are anal retentive. There and I said that with clenched cheeks. ~;)

Indeed. And that is why you are eligible for a special federal support programme, where we protect you from beastly people who want to be unkind and make unthinking jokes at your expense. It's only a few hundred thousand dollars to fund, and comes with preferential treatment, your own vocabulary, and an Obama Loves Me lapel pin.

:wink:
