Does anyone else think it’s kind of strange that so many of the players are either related to or someone married someone’s brother or sister , or cousin, or hell maybe they even have married their grandmothers up there !
We have Greg Norgard who was dating Kim at the time of her death – NOW married to Kim’s best friend (although that is an argument some would make today, since Billie Norgard has never stuck up for Kim – better yet she is on Sissy and Maude’s FB page)
Then you have Ed Vandovers sister married Alex Trottier and remember Alex Trottier fathered Sissy’s daughter (can you imagine ANYONE sleeping with Sissy?)
Of course we have Rose Failing married to Denver Atkinson. Remember the girls supposedly went to Rose Failing’s house to wash the blood off of them after they murdered Kim. Then Denver Atkinson is none other than Sissy’s brother.
This becomes a guessing game of who’s on first, trying to keep them all straight.
Poplar who killed Kim?

Still…..no one has ever questioned Steve Gray Hawk about his involvement the night of Kim’s murder. He was called out to investigate the screams at the park June 16, 1979 at 12:38 a.m. where’s his police report? Screams were heard and a police spot light was seen as testified to in August 2011 and Maude Gray Hawk in her 2007 AG statement she states she saw a cop in the park; verified by FBI statements in July 1979 identifying Susie Kirn’s vehicle in the park, but she was never persued as a suspect; though she admits to being in the park and the light hit her vehicle….Susie Kirn was there with Steve Schagunn; they both admit it! Last but not least how could Maude Gray Hawk have known it was a cop in the park where Kim was murdered when it was dark outside she would have had to have been close enough to know it was a cop; her father! And…..the cover-up began!
There will be a rally for Barry Beach on August 17th from 1:00 to 3:00pm at the Great Falls Civic Center.
I watched the updated Dateline this last Friday night and was shocked. I had been following Barry’s case since I saw the first Dateline broadcast. This was the first I had heard that Barry was forced to return to prison. I am a retired New York State Police investigator who became extremely involved with the successful effort to free Marty Tankleff (see http://www.martytankleff.org) here in Suffolk County, NY. There are amazing parallels between Marty’s and Barry’s cases including a false confession. I do not have money to contribute at this time but I would like to advocate for Barry in any way that I can. I have written to governor, AG and parole/probation board at the addresses provided here. I plan to write to the local Montana publications you have listed here. I have shared information about Barry on Facebook and LinkedIn. As a former detective and someone very familiar with formal politics, I understand exactly the type of political quicksand in which Barry is trapped. I am impressed with Barry’s faith and tenacity. It has to be somewhat heartening to him that he has developed an ever growing legion of supporters.
Mr. Olson, thank you for your continued support of Barry Beach. Far more important than donations are the articulate & professional opinions of individuals such as yourself. Together, we hope to make a difference and await Barry’s eventual freedom. We will let you know when we have specific projects to work on Barry’s behalf. Thanks again.
Its a wonder why all these peoples lives are riddled with drugs and alcohol I couldn’t look in the mirror either. Lies and deceit all their life. RIP Bob, Mike, Albert and Dana Kirn. Your deaths will not be in vain.
For those of you in Poplar who know the Truth and won’t speak up Shame !on You . . . Rose Failing, Roberta and Ramona Jackson, Patty Grayhawk, Connie Ferguson . . . . The list goes on.
As for the rest of them that were involved, we all have grandbabies we want to live for doesn’t Barry deserve to have grandchildren too. You had enough time with yours give him a chance too?
Ed Van Dover lives in grand junction Colorado. His mother Beverly even knows he was part of this crime. How can she live with herself knowing her son should be where Barry is? One of the Trottier brothers have even said Ed knows and should confess if and before he.dies.
After seeing the show last night, I was mortified that a man spent 29 years in jail for a murder that the state of Montana did not prove without a reasonable doubt. It’s shameful. All circumstances are different, that confession should not be the only evidence, specially if the confession was not even accurate. Barry was young and stupid for confessing he did something if he did not, he spent 29 years for that mistake. Those officials are arrogant, they made a mistake and they are still covering up their screw-up.
Thank God for programs like Dateline…they can reach a lot of people. Barry needs to be free…hes served enough time…what this is doing to the love between a mother and a son…I hope whoever is guilty..and Marc Racicot remembers the look in Barrys mothers eyes..and are haunted by it….how can they sleep at night???? God keep Barry and his Mom in good health until they are togther again…And please God..let it happen soon…
Absolutely — we should all be very thankful for Dateline and programs like it!
I wonder if Marc Rocicot, Jay Via and Dean Mahlum watched this latest episode of Dateline. Shame on them for hiding the truth!
Seems like Dateline did a better job with this episode exposing the serious inconsistencies and major corruption. Jay Via looked very guilty
Thank God for MFJ and Centurian Ministries for defending Barry Beach, an innocent man. Dateline has also done a fantastic job of getting this travesty of justice some recognition. my heart is sick for Barry and his family and supporters. I don’t know how the players on the “other” side of this story can sleep at night. Wrongful conviction! Coerced confession that does not match the crime scene. Wake up Montana Justice Department.
Wow! That’s an inedible story. I’ve watched a lot of Dateline shows, but I’ve never heard such a compelling case for a man’s innocence. Seems like there is no doubt that he did not kill that young girl. what is wrong with the Montana justice system?
Im from Texas, can I sign the petition?
yes
Please do
Yes. I’m from Washington state and I signed it. There was even a signature from Greece!
Please feel free to sign the petition wherever you are from. Every name helps!
It is truly shameful what happened to that man. I’m going to write to the Department of Justice and the president as well as the Montana Board of Pardons and Parole. How disgusting and sad.
Centurion Ministries and Montanans For Justice are seeking the help of Barry Beach supporters, concerned individuals and anyone who can help Barry return to his rightful freedom. This request is made as of August 2, 2013 and remains in force until August 30, 2013. Here is how you can help:
How You Can Help Barry Return to His Rightful Freedom
Write a letter addressed to the Montana Board of Pardons and Parole:
1002 Hollenbeck Road
Deer Lodge, MT 59722
1. Briefly explain who you are and why you are interested. We ask that you not write form letters.
2. Ask the board to consider commutation of Barry’s sentence (commutation is a reduction of sentence, not a pardon)
3. Express your thoughts on why Barry’s sentence should be commuted
4. Express your thoughts on Barry’s suitability for life in the community
5. Please send your letter by August 30th
IMPORTANT: Mail your letter to Barry’s attorney
(NOT the MT Board of Pardons and Parole):
Peter Camiel
In Re: Barry Beach
710 Cherry Street
Seattle, WA 98104
What exactly should we say in these letters?
Please express your own thoughts as to why Barry’s sentence should be commuted. We don’t feel that the BOPP is interested in hearing the same thing over and over, which is why we ask that you not send form letters. Instead, introduce yourself and speak your mind about why Barry should be free. We urge you to keep your letters brief and on topic and remind you to please mail them to Barry’s attorney at the address listed above.
Joanne Jackson is guilty !!! She doesn’t even look them in the eyes when she lies about being home by 11pm. Throw the key away on her!
why the hell hasn’t stevie grayhawk ever been prosecuted or even investigated for kicking in the judges door and then evidence came up missing ~~ is it because the tribal cops can do whatever they want and get away with it?? grayhawk’s daughter should be in prison and so should her daddy for violating the law when he was a cop ~~ FBI should do something about this one and put that man behind bars for taking evidence that would have proved Barry innocent and Maude guilty!!
Steve GH did not kick in the judges door, it was at the city police dept. And just because he is tribal, at the time he was working for the city police dept. If you want to complain, get your facts right!
Are you somehow trying to say that Steve Grayhawk did not break into the evidence room claiming that he thought it was the restroom? This has been documented numerous times and this is the first I have ever heard a claim that he didn’t do it. What facts are you referring to in order to come to this conclusion?
it’s in the court documents that Stevie Greyhawk broke into the judges chanbers and then evidence came up missing .. where do you get your info??? . .. could it be his bloody handprint on the truck? I don’t doubt that in the least or he knows who’s handprint they forgot to wipe up!!!
************** BREAKING NEWS ****************
Dateline NBC will be airing the new Barry Beach episode on August 2, 2013 at 8:00pm MST. Please be sure to tune in. This episode will be different from the previous 2 episodes that have aired since 2008. As with many, MFJ looks forward to seeing what Dateline has to share about this strange case.
