FROM Murt: "A reply to the comments MS.Bekki made.
I read Kari's articles both here and the one afterword and find that Bekki made some statements that need to be corrected.
First, the Caretaker letter. There is not nor was there ever an FBI investigation of that letter. The primary agency in charge of the investigation was the Leesburg City Police department and NOT the FBI. Anyone is welcome to call the Ocala, Fl. Office which is the field office for the Leesburg area.
The PM's were public for over a YEAR, first appearing on Monoxide's blog and Beaconhell.com less than 24 hours after they were made public.
Second. The comment made in regards to my not properly completing the paperwork for the bench is incorrect.
The permission to place the bench in the park was denied by a committee that oversees the program and held a meeting when the subject came up.
They were afraid of the Anthony's and felt that having a bench for Caylee was too much of a hot potato for them to allow.
I only found out about the denial when I went to John's office to check on the progress of getting the plack for the bench.
John expressed suprised as he felt that there should have been no problem getting the bench placed.
The denial came after Sherri, the person who took the funds for the bench, already deposited them in the city's account thus making it impossible to refund everyone's checks or money orders.
I went into the room and made the announcement that the bench permit had been denied and that I would write refund checks for the refunds to everyone.
Those who had made the donations had a chat and collectively decided that I should donate the funds to the Cummings family to aid in the search for Heiligh Cummings who has just went missing.
The one exception to this wish was Cubbiesmom who asked that her donation be given to someone she knows who rescues dogs.
I contacted the Victim's advocate, and employee of the Sumter County Sheriff's Department. She in turn contacted the Cummings family who decided the donation should go to TES to aid in their search efforts.
The donation was then made on behalf of the room and that was the end of the matter.
MURT"
Thanks for that Murt, with respect to little Caylee's Memorial Bench, here is what I looked up from the comments left on that SunSentinel article posted on Floriduh by Liz Doup on November 19, 2009 @ 8:26 AM:
"Murt i hope that document drop to Conway in re: to your threats, chat, and request for donations for a Caylee bench at Mt. Dora, has caused you some discomfort. Reading the new chat in your Internet room appears that maybe someone contacted you about your scams. Keep giving it out and we'll keep sending it to the proper authorities.

AND THIS ONE:
"As expected, Mt. Dora won't allow Murt to put up the bench. While he claims there was a "mass campaign" against him as the reason, in truth, they stopped the memorail bench program some time ago. All the money was returned. To Murt.

NO JOOTA, I personally spoke with John who was over-seeing the Bench Project there at Mount Dora Park back in August while I was in Florida and I was advised that the Board had unanimously voted against OUR Memorial Bench for little Caylee -- do you wonder why -- let's all ask "popcorn" OR maybe we can all flood Brad Conway's office with letters of inquiry as to WHY his clients George and Cindy Anthony (the loving grandparents of little Caylee) would be so spiteful as to STOP a Memorial Bench being placed at Mount Dora Park for their precious granddaughter Caylee Marie Anthony. Joota's comment above as quoted really does make the people running City Hall there at Mount Dora look incompetent, seeing that John had taken Murt out to show him the possible spots where such a Memorial Bench could be placed at the Park and he showed Murt plans plus advised Murt how the funds should be sent in order to pay the requisite fee THEN they accepted the donation checks from Murt, deposited the said checks AND THEN after all of that the Memorial Bench for little Caylee Marie was voted against unanimously by the Board -- does that sound like how such a program is run by any City Hall anywhere in a 1st world country? I hardly doubt it IMO.
