I woke up this morning with Chelsea on my mind, just like you did! I woke up pissed off at the system and at that monster. To say the “system failed” is an understatement. The system didn’t even attempt to work.
The punk ass animal hurt a 13 year old in 2000 and was released one year early and nobody was ever told. That son of a bitch was able to roam around our streets and children and loved ones for 5 years as if he was a good hard working law abiding citizen, but in reality he was a predator watching and wanting to take the freedom away from beautiful people that were smaller than him. That son of a fucking bitch!
I’m mad at him and I question the people who are getting paid to monitor and check on these predators. Isn’t any one of these parole or probation officers or counselors doing their job? Forgive me, for not being aware of who in reality is suppose to watch over a known high priority sex offender, but I’m not quite sure anyone is assigned to that.
That animal most likely attacked a person in December at the same location and that mother fucker most likely took Amber Dubois in Escondido. I hope Chelsea and all that has been happening leads us to Amber Dubois.
The picture above is from today’s North County Times. It’s my search team from yesterday being briefed on what to do and what we were looking for. Yesterday morning, while those divers and FBI agents were searching inch by inch over Lake Hodges, they sent us west of Deer Springs off the 15 in that heavy terrain you see off the freeway. The lead person was telling us that they were concentrating a lot over a certain area of Lake Hodges, but because that animal lived near Deer Springs in 2008, they sent us to look around there as well.
Someone on my team asked the man in the picture above, what exactly are we looking for and he said and I will always remember, “We are looking for a live body everyone, when you see Chelsea and she is moving, you go help her and hold her and call out and if you see her and she’s obviously not moving, you just scream your name and stop and don’t go any further.” I’m still crying just remembering that.
We searched 300-500 feet deep in the brush you see off the freeway and we saw things that you just never imagined that was dumped there, from old rusted cars to kitchen appliances left there decades ago. We stopped and headed back to camp where we were greeted by Chelsea’s dad. He was walking around the headquarters and the parking lot hugging people and thanking people for going out and searching for his daughter. He would put his arms around 3-4 people at a time and listen to instructions and then go group to group and hug more people.
I noticed volunteers many feet away from him staring at him and breaking down over the pain you know he was feeling. I was one of those people many feet away and then as he got closer to me, I put out my hand and I shook his hand and all I could say was, “I love you!” and he smiled and went in to hug me and we hugged and he said a few words to me.
Chelsea’s dad does have his angel back home now. Home is heaven and he is hurting along with his wife and family and friends. I just know he will be back strong and determined to be at that courtroom everyday to “fry that son of a bitch!”
Chelsea’s dad is mad at the system and we should be too. He will lead us and we will know who we call on and who we vote for and who we make accountable to make the changes in the laws so this won’t ever happen again.
Chelsea is a beautiful girl. She’s a straight ”A” student and she helps others all the time and is a strong athlete and musician. It’s time to celebrate her life and remember her and smile and never forget.
I say we all go to Poway High’s graduation in May or June and we all stand and cheer forever and ever when they call Chelsea King’s name.
I can feel Chelsea and I can hear her tell us not to stop searching for Amber Dubois. She’s not going towards that light until Amber is found. I just know it. God bless that sweet girl.
I’m so mad right now and I wish the stories you hear about prison are true. I hope somehow that monster slips through the cracks of “protective custody” and has to deal with the mainline of a state prison and I just know, someone with a daughter the same age as Chelsea and Amber will kick the living shit out of that thing.
God bless Chelsea and her family and friends. Please remember Amber!

I couldn’t sleep last night, I keep checking on my two little girls…..You have expressed my ANGER, FRUSTRATION, and also my HEARTBREAK. This situation is horrible….BUT I feel that it should have not happeneded had our law makers given a crap abour our children! THank you for saying what you did! We must fight to lock up this predators and keep them away forever! God Bless Chelsea and Amber!
This animal and others like him. First offense – IF they are let out of prison – tattoo the forhead with CHILD SEX OFFENDER – also the tops of each hand ( I’d rather have them chopped off) make their families responsible.for watching them and reporting suspecious activity. I’d prefer they never see the light of day. Let the drug users out and keep those freaks forever in our prisons. No print media, no television, no radio, NO COMPUTeRS! No re-living, no gloating over the horror they rendered. Isolation from the outside.totally and completly alone, forever until they decend into the darkness of hell for eternity. There is NO forgivness for what they do.
Tommy, I went to sleep so sad last night after seeing the news about finding Chelsea’s body on-line. (I have been calling my daughter to check on her) I have since relocated from San Diego and lived close to Rancho Bernardo and the surround area back to my home state of Wisconsin. I have followed the story. I have a beautiful daughter back in San Diego and remember all the times she would tell me about cars pulling up to her with guys whistling, making comments etc. She would be walking home from the grocery store that was only a few blocks away, walking to school (her dad lived close to the school, I had to drive my kids from where I lived so they didn’t walk when they were with me) walking home from school or just doing errands around town. I didn’t like her being home alone at times. I didn’t like her out at night hanging out with friends. I was constantly worrying…I still worry and I have good reason to. You never know who is lurking and grossly admiring from afar. As much as I don’t want to blast hatefully out loud, I am inside. I just don’t understand the system. I don’t understand attorneys who can justify defending known criminals and guilty ones at that! Is it for the money? Is it for the challenge? Is it really because they feel someone has been wronged? I will never understand how they can sleep at night and look at themselves in the morning. Especially the people involved in the prior Gardner cases. The girl who got away in December is lucky. But what is upsetting is they treated it as a robbery. Was she suppose to wait until it got further before it was a sexual assault? Or how about the couple who saw a suspicious man in the park while they were walking their dog and they contacted the police? Here we have community citizens trying to keep the area safe and report something suspicious and not much was done. Why can’t the police follow up with us once a report has been filed to let us know if anything has come of it? (I had a situation that was very upsetting to me, following an impaired driver for over 13 miles where this man almost was hit, he almost hit people, stopped in traffic, swerving and I reported it to the police and not one officer came from three different departments of the sheriff, and two different jurisdictions because of where it happened, communication and the lack of making it a priority (my cousin Alan Calvillo (41) and his 11 yr old son Bailey were killed by a 21 year old drunk driver on February 7, 2009 on their way to a Milwaukee Bucks game, so I am a little sensitive to people on the road) One department didn’t even pass it along to the Sheriff’s department like they said would. It never was followed up on. This happened here in Wisconsin, so no followup with me on what happened in the end…I searched the newspaper the next day to see if there was any auto accidents, someone hit or arrests) Although this is about something totally different, it is related to how police handle calls from the citizens from the community. I think about the couple that reported a suspicious man in the park. What they must be thinking today knowing that possibly the same person they saw in the park was Gardner. Even if it wasn’t Gardner…could it have been someone like Gardner lurking? Out of this tragedy I hope Chelsea shines the light on Amber DuBois and we find her and others like her so parents can have some closure. I know there will NEVER be closure on the violent loss of a child. I pray that out of all this tragedy that laws change and it will take the voices of the victims families and the community/state to be heard and it is time we are heard. Tommy, you just said what many of us are thinking and feeling. My prayers to the King family and the DuBois family and the community of San Diego as they start the healing process.
Death is too kind for monsters like him, I pray that for every minute he tortured and raped, he is tortured and raped. I hate our legal system, I hate that monsters like him are ever let out of institutions. I say we form a group and stand in front of the person/ peoples office that are responsible for letting that monster and monsters like him loose. Chelsea is ok now, but there are 1000s of children that are not. lets not let this happen again, lets band together before a search for another missing child, and get these predators off our streets NOW!
God bless the King family.
Tommy,
You have expressed my feelings EXACTLY. Now how do we mobilize to make certain this never happens again. You have the forum, I’ll assist in any way I can. You got thousands to create a human flag for love of our service men and women. Will they do it again for our children? Let’s send the message to our law makers.
when this bastard was prosecuted for the assault on the 12 year old Paul Pfingst and the san diego prosecutors office gave him a lesser sentence, through a plea bargin,than the psychiatrist who examined him recommended. this happens everyday and these monsters are all around the county, state, and nation. until pressure is put on the court system from everyday citizens to change the way these people are handled once they are identified this will happen again and again. these bastards are broken and they cannot be fixed. they must be kept away from our children. If you want to do something to remember chelsea you must become proactive in changing the way these sick sons of bitches are handled. the state of california is releasing prisoners everyday because of overcrowding and budget concerns and this must stop.I sit here writing this trough tears for someone i don’t even know, but as a parent i anguish whenever i hear about someone who didn’t deserve to die in this way. god bless chelsea and her family for they will always be a part of our lives forever. please, please get involved in changing the system so none of us will have to ask for volunteers to find our kids.
I stand right next to you Tommy with everything you have said…
Gob bless the King Family during this very difficult time.
Tommy, Your anger is so justified. We all need to turn that energy
into doing something to save the next child. One comfort I have
found is just listening to Christina Aguilera (Hope For Haiti Now)
YouTube song LIFT ME UP. Somehow it reflects on this trauma. Tomorrow
will make us stronger to make up for the terrible wrong Chelsea
suffered. We will all make a difference very soon. MMc
Tommy-
I agree with everything you said. It is very difficult for me watch what my daughter and her friends deal with this. I don’t know what to do or say to help them, because I am having a hard time dealing with this terrible tragedy that could have been avoided. My family has spent many hours in that same park. The kids have all run around there and Poway with freedom. Now I don’t want them to even cross the street alone! How do we get past this? My heart breaks every time I think of the Chelsea and her family.
God Bless the King Family!!
