The recurring question is why were things handled the way that they were?
At the end of this blog, your feedback will be requested in the form of comments/reply as I see this as the only way we can have a discussion.
I am convinced that if Alec had been a senator’s son (reference to old song), things would have been handled completely differently. In light of the case being reopened I will tread very carefully for now on what is disclosed online. Just so you know, all, no matter what, will be disclosed by the time this is over for your review.
Certain people have floated a narrative of what has happened and now it is time for facts to be presented. As facts are revealed you will have to make your own decisions.
Once this re-investigation is over, my second freedom of information act request is already in the que waiting to be processed in addition to exactly what happens with the re-investigation. All will be displayed here for your assessment.
There are a couple of areas which I can safely disclose on here without the possibility of jeopardizing any part of the investigation. One is why this was not considered to fit the definition as laid out by the crimes against children section of the Arkansas State Police. This one we will get back to. For now let us focus on the follow up and deeper dive into “Life in someone else’s hands”.
There are several areas of “action” we could discuss. The one we will address specifically is known behavior and events of that night at the physical location of Alec’s death.
At the very least Alec’s death is a wrongful death. Below I will outline both the laws and support for that assertion:
- Proving negligence per se claim in a personal injury case usually means the plaintiff — along with his or her attorney, if retained — needs to establish the following:
- the defendant violated a law
- the intent of the law was the prevention of the injury that ended up occurring
- the injured patient (the plaintiff) is counted in the class of people the law intended to protect
It is unlawful for any person to sell an alcoholic beverage to a person under age 21 in exchange for money or other item of value. Arkansas Code Annotated 3-3-202
It is obvious from the police report that alcohol was supplied from a “bootlegger” for this approved party.
5-27-209. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
(a) A person commits the offense of contributing to the delinquency of a minor if, being an adult, the person knowingly aids, causes, or encourages a minor to:
(1) Do any act prohibited by law;
Okay, so come, reason with me….. It was stated in the police report that the alcohol involved was acquired from a “bootlegger”. Everyone on the property was an adult by the definition of Arkansas law, except Alec.
To go further, review of Police Reports acquired through a FOIA (Freedom of information act) request proves that this is an established behavior at this property making it a community risk.
I will not disclose all information out of respect but you can file your own FOIA request to gain the particular details if what I provide is not enough or if you doubt what is presented:
- 06/28/14 (SO14-1784) underage party with battery charges
- 04/18/15 (SO15-0733) underage drinking
- 09/19/15 (SO15-1763) Underage party with battery charges
- 10/30/15 (SO15-2016) Underage party with the death of my son Alec
They all have in common the following:
- the police reports verify that there was underage drinking
- No charges were ever filed
You could let your kids or your friends could be going to a place like this that has a clear history that is not known to you.
My question that I pose to you is this:
Why have no charges ever been filed against these people when this is a known, established behavior???
Charges should definitely be pressed against the person providing the alcohol. I have a question, as I know little too nothing about this case. I’ve known Mr. Jerry for 33+ years. How did Alec get a gun? My heart goes out to all of you 🙏🏻

Because if you are not prominent in the community , you really don’t matter. After all this is Southwest Arkansas. I love the people here but so many still have the servant master mentality.

I’ve always been told growing up if you run with dogs you will get fleas… the system failed. The people who attended know what happened. Most cases , teens get scared and don’t talk. Always remember where done in the dark will come to light. Prayers for you and family.
