Ray’s Mom

Seven years ago today Raymond Marc Zachry was discovered by a neighbor , unresponsive

Raymond Marc Zachry in happier days.

It has been seven years since I received that dreaded phone call

telling me my son, Raymond Marc Zachry was dead.

His widow, Darlene Miller Zachry (they had been married 18 months) had little information, and in these past seven years has refused to cooperate, refused to disclose her whereabouts, refused to talk to Ray’s family – share information how, why, when did he get so much poison into his system?  Where did the barium poison come from?

Darlene Miller Zachry served 25 days in jail in Montgomery County PA after being convicted of forgery, perjury and a long list of other felonies against her late husband and his family.  But, remained silent when asked about the circumstances of his death.  She is now enjoying life in a style she had never experienced prior to meeting Ray Zachry.

Raymond Marc Zachry received a death sentence in return for his generosity to loving care of her and her family.

Today, we remember Ray.

Homicide by poisoning…the data

Homicide by Poisoning
Finnberg, Amanda MD*; Junuzovic, Mensura MD*; Dragovic, Ljubisa MD†; Ortiz-Reyes, Ruben MD†; Hamel, Marianne MD, PhD‡; Davis, Joseph MD, PhD§; Eriksson, Anders MD, PhD*

Abstract: By studying the number and method of homicidal poisoning in Miami-Dade County, Florida; New York City, NY; Oakland County, Michigan; and Sweden, we have confirmed that this is an infrequently established crime.

Several difficulties come with the detection of homicidal poisonings. Presenting symptoms and signs are often misdiagnosed as natural disease, especially if the crime is committed in a hospital environment, suggesting that an unknown number of homicides go undetected.

In the reported cases analyzed, the lethal agent of choice has changed over the years. In earlier years, traditional poisons such as arsenic, cyanide, and parathion were frequently used. Such poisonings are nowadays rare, and instead, narcotics are more commonly detected in victims of this crime.

Having researched death by poison since the death of my son, Raymond Zachry in 2007, there is a similarity in many cases where the cause of death is listed as heart attack, arrhythmia or disrrhythmia by the coroner or medical examiner. Ignoring the underlying symptoms of poisoning, unfamiliarity with symptoms that mimic heart attack has allowed many homicides to go undetected as the authors of the above data include in their paper.

During the six years since Ray Zachry’s death many other poisoning cases have surfaced and like Zachry’s it has remained secret even when families offer evidence and proof otherwise. Only when independent oversight boards review death certificates for incorrect cause of death analysis and other mistakes will the homicide by poisoning become recognized on sudden, unattended death cases.

Ex-attorney for county linked with forged wills (NC)

Ex-attorney for county linked with forged wills (NC).

LUMBERTON — A Superior Court judge this week ruled that two wills naming former Robeson County Attorney Hal Kinlaw as executor were forgeries.

Judge Mary Ann Tally, during a hearing in Robeson County Superior Court, ruled in favor of petitions submitted by Jessie McFadyen Tolar, of Red Springs, requesting that the wills of her mother, Louise B. McFadyen, and father, Robert Lewis McFayden, be “removed and set aside” and authentic wills be substituted in their place.

The Robesonian has been told that Kinlaw as well as his late father had business relationships for many years with Lewis McFayden. According to the petition filed by Tolar, Kinlaw resigned as executor of both of her late parents wills on March 26, 2013.

The petition to the court said that on the same day Kinlaw resigned as executor of the estates, Tolar was appointed administrator of her parents’ estates and executor of their wills. After her appointment, according to the petitions, she discovered that Louise McFadyen’s 2009 will naming Kinlaw executor was “in fact a forgery and never executed by the decedent.” She also found the 2005 will of Lewis McFadyen to be a forgery.

According to the petitions, Kinlaw would not have received anything of value in either of the forged wills.

A court official confirmed that the action taken Monday did not include any criminal charges. It was unclear Friday, however, if further action will be taken in criminal court. An assistant to Tolar’s attorney, Hilton T. Hutchens Jr. of Fayetteville, told The Robesonian that Hutchens would “not make any comment at this time.”

Raymond Marc Zachry, the subject of this blog is an example of a forged will that was filed for probate in Montgomery County Pennsylvania .

The widow Darlene Miller Zachry, conspired with her sister Annetta Frackman and friends Lisa and William “Bill” Werneke to compose the document they called a will and file it for probate to acquire his assets that were located in Conowingo, Maryland and Souderton, Pennsylvania.
Ray’s mother, author of this blog and his sister Katharine Mackie paid fees and expenses that totaled over $70,000 to prove the will a forgery. (Documents are available to view at the website http://www.denied-justice.com

The sudden, unattended death of Raymond Marc Zachry has never been investigated even though his blood toxicology from two Pennsylvania laboratories contain huge quantities of two lethal chemicals.

Our anniversary today

We have been sharing news and comment with the WordPress family for three years. Thank you for your interest, follows and comments, likes. You have been with us through court trials, successes and disappointments; your continued presence and prayers have been a source of strength through the difficulties and victories.

My goal has been to offer support to other families experiencing similar tragedy and the frustration that comes from uncooperative elected and/or appointed officials and nowhere to turn for information and support. The goal is becoming a reality. Very soon our alliance of families will be ready to tackle the outdated system of unqualified coroners, untrained first responders who ignore families, require that they spend their life savings just to obtain documents that are and should be public information. To require that all family members, parents and siblings are included in the investigation of sudden, unattended death; not just the spouse.

Thank you, and God bless.

Former coroner, Jay Dix’s ruling on ’97 death disputed in court petition

Faulty science and incorrect medical examiner and/or coroner diagnosis of cause of death have a long history.  Innocent people have been sentenced – guilty gone free due to their lack of experience or knowledge of death investigations.  We have documented here many cases of medical examiners and coroners who have NO medical qualification, and only a high school education.

Experts: Case of burned Texas boy problematic

A shocking case and possibly the person who burned this youngster 13 years ago may never be tried.

CONROE, Texas (AP) – Now that prosecutors have persuaded a judge that a Texas man accused of setting an 8-year-old boy on fire as a teenager can be tried as an adult for murder, securing a conviction in a case where the victim died 13 years after the attack could prove difficult, legal experts say.

Don Willburn Collins was 13 when Robert Middleton was attacked in 1998 on his eighth birthday, near the younger boy’s home in Splendora, about 35 miles northeast of Houston. Middleton was burned across 99 percent of his body and endured years of physical therapy before he died in 2011 from skin cancer blamed on his burns.

Will his perpetrator of the heinous crime be prosecuted as an adult now 13 years later?  Read more by following this link.

Ray’s birthday today

Today Ray would be celebrating his 54th birthday. Instead he is deceased, his voice silenced by some unknown method, death investigators still refuse to acknowledge or search for the source of the lethal chemical that caused his untimely death 7 years ago in Souderton, PA.

Even though the rules for investigation of a sudden, unattended death are clear and published for anyone to research and furnished to all law enforcement organizations – these rules were not followed, the coroner refuses to cooperate. Unfortunately, coroners/medical examiners make their own rules, have no qualifications and no oversight without the permission of guess who? The coroner.

This must change. A patchwork of unqualified people acting as coroner, testifying in homicide cases, and conducting autopsies, does this give reason to think about all the wrongful deaths that are never examined or investigated?

A Mother’s Love explained in poetry

A MOTHER’S LOVE
Helen Steiner Rice

A Mother’s love is something

that no one can explain,

It is made of deep devotion

and of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish

and enduring come what may

For nothing can destroy it

or take that love away . . .

It is patient and forgiving

when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or falters

even though the heart is breaking . . .

It believes beyond believing

when the world around condemns,

And it glows with all the beauty

of the rarest, brightest gems . . .

It is far beyond defining,

it defies all explanation,

And it still remains a secret

like the mysteries of creation . . .

A many splendored miracle

man cannot understand

And another wondrous evidence

of God’s tender guiding hand.

How many more deaths from heavy metal chemicals

Guidelines for safe school chemistry laboratories

Guidelines for safe school chemistry laboratories

Death from heavy metals; a reality.

Today we remember our loving son, Raymond Marc Zachry, not because of another outstanding accomplishment – rather it is the six-year anniversary of his sudden, unattended death.

Six years; and only denial from the coroner who claims he died from a heart attack…with 1950 mcg/L of barium in his blood toxicology.  Enough, says toxicologist Dr. Woody Hartgrove, to have rapidly caused his death.  It would cause his heart to stop…paralyze his limbs… and reduce the available potassium to cause his heart to stop according to Center for Disease Control material safety data report.  The amount was nearly equal to the amount Marie Robard, a student in Texas, took from her high school chemical laboratory to poison her father.

Montgomery County Pennsylvania does not find it important enough to investigate the source of the lethal, heavy metal that caused Raymond Zachry’s death.

Heavy metal contamination found in Florida soil, as reported in Miami Herald.

Miami Herald reported this story of a contaminated site that was being closed to residents due to several hazardous chemicals found in the soil.  Barium was included in  that sampling.

City, county to meet over soil samples around contaminated site

By Jenny Staletovich

Last month, the city and the county’s Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) widened testing sparked by the discovery of lead, barium and other toxic metals more than two years ago at the site of the city’s fire training facility at 3425 Jefferson St. in Coconut Grove.

 Barium

Barium is a metal used in oil and gas industries and to make paint, bricks, ceramics, glass and rubber. It poses risks to the cardiovascular system, digestive tract and reproductive health.

Warning signs, fencing and rangers keep visitors away due to the hazardous chemicals found on the site, according to the article…

Montgomery County Pennsylvania – does not care where this chemical came from, how it caused one residents death, and the possibility that it could cause more unsuspecting citizens death.

Shameful neglect, disregard for environmental hazards, Pennsylvania, could be the next Miami, Florida disaster.
