Ken Dickerson

Ken Dickerson being a negro on the lam. Back in 1992 in Bridgeport Connecticut, He stabbed his girlfriend to death. Then he stabbed her daughter in the arm and shot the daughters boyfriend in the head. The daughter and boyfriend survived the attack. But Dickerson's black ass is no where to be found. Dickerson is a career criminal steaming back from 1974 with charges of theft, drug possession typical groid skills on his resume. He also assaulted a police officer. Because we all know the po po be racist against a brutha who DINDU NUFFIN.
If Dickerson is alive he would be in his 50s. Odds are he got capped or is in jail somewhere. TNB always prevails in the Negro.

Elmer Crawford

Elmer Crawford

Being away from home for almost the last 2 months working 16 hour days has not given me much time to write on the blog lately. On my way home last night I decided to stop in at the pub and have a quick pint. I got to talking with this guy from Australia and we started talking about TV shows we like Forensic Files, Solved, Wicked Attraction and then John List came up. Now living in Canada even though I am familiar with American crimes and guys who are on the run for killing their families IE Bradford Bishop, William Fisher, and the captured John List. Buddy there asked me if I ever heard of an Australian man by the name of Elmer Crawford. I told him no and he told me to google him and I did. It made me realise how ignorant I have been and focused on mainly stories from the US and Canada. I imagine a lot of ID junkies in Canada and the US have not either. So I decided to scour the net to find out what I can about him. There is a lot and if this piece of shit is still alive he needs to be brought to justice.

Loch Ard Gorge
Port Campbell, Australia

The Crime: On July 2nd, 1970 a car with 4 bodies inside was discovered at the bottom of a cliff a at Loch Ard Gorge which is located at Port Campbell, Victoria, Australia. The bodies inside were those of 4 of the 5 members of the Crawford family. Mother Terese (who was pregnant) and the children Kathryn 13, James 8, and Karen 6. It was later determined that they were murdered by their father Elmer. The way of the murder was cruel and sick. Elmer who was not an electrician but had some general knowledge due to his job at a raceway.
It is determined that Elmer had murdered his family in their home by beating them with a hammer and electrocuting his wife with alligator clips. His goal was to make it look like a murder suicide so he could claim insurance money he would receive if his whole family died. He basically wanted it to look like his wife went nuts and beat the children and drove off the cliff.
Initially it is believed that Elmer Crawford wanted the car to crash into the water so the bodies wouldn't be found and it would be easier to collect the insurance money. He could of just said his wife ran off at first and then collected the new wills they both wrote up. But when he pushed the family's FE Holden vehicle off the cliff late at night it didn't quite make it. instead it was sitting at a ledge overlooking the sea. That put a damper in his plans and instead of cleaning up the evidence and going with his story, he had to bail.
When the police realised the vehicle was registered to Elmer they actually went to his house the next day. The police not knowing the vehicle had bodies inside left after no one answered the door.

Crawford's Whereabouts and Sightings: In 2010 detectives thought they had located Elmer Crawford. A man who passed away in San Angelo, Texas was found with multiple fake Ids resembled Crawford. But after a DNA test was given it was proved not to be him.
I find this one a little bull shit but you never know. In 1994 a former associate of Crawford's claimed to have seen him in Perth, Australia. The associate claimed that Crawford did not recognise him and told him that he was there on Vacation from New Zealand. I think it is fake because would this associate not at least put in the effort to find out where he was staying and or where in New Zealand he lived.

Crawford age enhanced.

My Thoughts: I agree with this one post I read one blogger write the sack of shit is either dead or will never be caught. I look at how List got caught and gives you a glimmer of hope but this is the oldest one out there. I don't think Bishop will be caught either. I do how ever believe if he is alive Robert Fisher will be caught.

Tidbits

Elmer Crawford had been stealing supplies from his work, The Victoria Racing Club for years up to $3,000 worth
If Crawford was alive today he would be 83 years old.

William Bradford Bishop

William Bradford Bishop

In Bethesda, Maryland on March 10th, 1976 a neighbours of the Bishops notified police that they haven;t heard or seen the Bishop family in about 3 weeks. The neighbour who had a key to their home met with the officer. The officer went to enter the home and noticed blood drops on the front door. When the officer entered the home he seen blood all over the floor and walls of the home. The children's rooms were covered with blood from ceiling to floor. It didn't take police too long to figure out where the Bishop family was.

On March 2nd, 1976 a Forrest ranger just south of Columbia, North Carolina spotted a fire. After the fire was put out he found 5 bodies in there. Later they were determined to be the Bishops. Bishops wife Annette 37, his sons William jr 14, Brenton 10, Geoffrey 5, and his mother Lobelia 68. Along with the bodies the ranger found a gas can, pitchfork, and a shovel. The shovel was later proven to be purchased by Bishop at a hardware store called Poch's where he also purchased the pitchfork.

Police believe that the fact that Bishop didn't get a promotion at work was a major factor into the murders. Also some people have said that he felt tied down with family life and wanted to life free many also said he preferred solitude.. Police believe he fled with the family dog after ditching the station wagon.

On April 10th, 2014 Bishop became the 502nd fugitive to be placed on the FBI's 10 most wanted list which is a little surprising it took that long as William Fisher was on there before him.

About William Bradford Bishop: Bishop was born August 1st, 1936 in Pasadena, California. He had a BS in history and American studies from Yale and a MA in International studies and Italian from Middlebury College. He also studied African Studies at UCLA. He spent four years in the army and is fluent in 5 languages English, French, Italian, Serbo-Croat, and Spanish.

He then worked for the US State department and worked for the US foreign service department spending alot of time overseas.

Bishop also suffered from depression and insomnia and took the drug Serax.

Pictured above is Bishop's mother and his wife and 3 boys on the right

The Murders: Bishop told a secretary at work that he wasn't feeling well and left work early. It is then believed that he drove to the bank and withdrew several hundred dollars. He then went to a Sears and bought a hammer and a gas can. He then went to a hardware store and bought a shovel and a pitchfork before returning home at about 7;30 pm.

Police believe he killed his wife first and then his mother.He then went and killed his sons while they were asleep. Everyone was believed to have been killed with a blunt instrument probably the hammer.

Bishop then loaded the bodies into the family station wagon and drove 6 hours away near Columbia, North Carolina. When there he dug a shallow hole threw the bodies in there poured gasoline on them and then set them on fire.

On March 18th the station wagon was found abandoned in Elkmont, Tennessee. Inside the car was dog biscuits, a bloody blanket, a shotgun, an axe, and a spare tire well in the trunk full of blood. A witness said the vehicle had been there since at least March 7th.

Whereabouts: If Bishop is even still alive he is almost certainly in Europe. Authorities strongly believe that he could be in Italy. He would be 77 years old today.

Sightings:

In 1979 an old co worker of Bishop's claimed he spotted Bishop in a bathroom in Sorento, Italy
In 1978 a Swedish woman who knew Bishop from working with him in Ethiopia claimed that she spotted him twice in Stockholm.
In 1994 neighbours of Bishops claimed that they spotted him on a train platform in Basel, Switzerland.

Other Notables:

On the day of the murders Bishop was spotted buying tennis shoes at a store in Jacksonville, North Carolina with his dog and a dark skin woman. But there is no solid proof of this.
In 2011, WUSA aired a story there were reports he died in Hong Kong and then in France, but police used fingerprints to confirm those reports were false.
On October 9, 2014, the body of an unidentified man who resembled Bishop and was killed in a hit-and-run walking along an Alabama highway in 1981 was exhumed by the FBI in Scotsboro to have its DNA, teeth and fingerprints compared to Bishop's. The DNA test indicated it was not Bishop's body
Investigators discovered Bishops diary where he wrote about wanting to become free and self-sufficient.

Final thoughts: I truly believe Bishop is alive and living a different live in Europe that is my opinion. Back in 1976 sneaking away was alot easier than it is today. But at the same time I read some guys theory on a forum that maybe it was meant to look like he did it. He did work for the government maybe the CIA whacked his family and then killed him right after and leads us on a long goose chase. Whatever happens if he is guilty he is probably the fugitive I want to see caught the most out of anyone and I hope I get to see it when he is alive still and not dead.
