Former Sugars Girl Heads to Prison
This board has been rather dead of late. Wonder if QCMasterMonger went to Rockford with Brenda?
This happened a few weeks ago. Kind of a shame these girls seem to have a knack of picking loser boyfriends. Not sure why.
The mother of a man fatally stabbed by Megan Price described a Scott County jury’s verdict of voluntary manslaughter against her as a mixed blessing.
Lucille Bea, whose son, Allen Johnson, 34, was killed Jan. 5 at his Davenport duplex, said she hoped the jury would find Price guilty of second-degree murder. Instead, the jury returned the verdict on the lesser charge Wednesday after three hours of deliberation.
Megan Price, 21, of 3232 Davenport, was originally charged with voluntary manslaughter. Claiming self-defense, she decided to go to trial rather than plead guilty to the original charge. At that point, prosecutors upped the charge to second-degree murder when the case went to trial the first time in May.
“I’m happy for the verdict because she took my son’s life,” Bea said. “We kind of figured it was guilty.
“We were hoping for second-degree murder. When they said voluntary manslaughter, my heart dropped.”
Price and Johnson dated for nearly a year. They argued earlier in the night and were arguing in an upstairs bedroom when the stabbing occurred, according to testimony. Price’s mother and sister testified to incidents of domestic violence during the relationship that preceded the fatal stabbing.
It was the second trial for second-degree murder for Price. The first trial ended with a hung jury after deliberating for parts of three days in May.
Taken into custody following the verdict Wednesday, Price is scheduled for sentencing Sept. 6.
She faces a 10-year sentence with no mandatory minimum sentence. If she had been convicted of second-degree murder, she would have faced a 50-year sentence with a mandatory 35-year minimum sentence.
“It is a victory, but not the victory we wanted,” defense attorney Dave Treimer said. “If ever there was a case where a woman defended herself, it was this.”
He intends to appeal the verdict based on testimony on battered women syndrome being disallowed in the trial.
Scott County Attorney Mike Walton was pleased that the jury reached a verdict, saying the crime fit both charges. Voluntary manslaughter is a lesser charge included in second-degree murder.
The voluntary manslaughter charge is a crime committed in “the heat of passion,” Walton said, while second-degree murder includes “malice aforethought.”
“I think malice aforethought was the tough part of the case,” Walton said.
The case involved testimony of domestic abuse. Price admitted to police she stabbed Johnson at his duplex on South Elmwood Avenue during an argument after several months of physical violence.
A recording of the 911 call Price made after the stabbing, sobbing hysterically as she waited for help, was played for the jury. Her video-recorded statement was also shown to the jury. She admitted to stabbing Johnson when she thought he was going to hit her. She also asked about his welfare during the interview.
“Even if a woman is being abused, is it reasonable to kill the abuser?” Walton said. “I said no, and I think the jury said no.”
Along with her video-recorded statement she made to a Davenport police detective, Price testified in the first trial. She didn’t testify in the second trial. Treimer couldn’t say what the difference was for the jury.
“We’ve done it both ways and didn’t get a verdict in the first,” he said. “She was eloquent in her interview with police.”
Then-Scott County Attorney Bill Davis prosecuted the first trial that resulted in the hung jury. Davis watched closing arguments Wednesday
How NOT to Get Lucky in the QC
A Florida man was jailed over the weekend for allegedly exposing himself and attempting to solicit sex from a waitress at a Bettendorf restaurant.
Steven Bryant Smith, 54, of Clearwater, Fla., was charged in Scott County Court with misdemeanor public intoxication and prostitution. He's scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 29.
According to an affidavit filed in Scott County District Court, on Friday, Mr. Smith asked the front-desk clerk at the Holiday Inn to call an escort service and get him a woman for $200.
On Saturday, police were called Bennigan's restaurant - adjacent to the Holiday Inn at 909 Middle Road - shortly before 10:30 p.m. after a waitress allegedly saw Mr. Smith with his pants undone and exposing himself, the affidavit states.
Although Mr. Smith said nothing to the initial waitress, he offered another waitress $200 to go to the hotel with him to "get naked," the affidavit states.
Police say the man appeared drunk and had a blood-alcohol content of 0.14.
Mr. Smith was taken to Scott County Jail. He went before a judge Sunday, where he was appointed a lawyer. He remained in jail late Monday on $2,000 bond.
Police Still Looking for Killer
Figured they would have given up onthis one by now. Some real sick bastarrd was responsible for this one and I think I actaully befriended Angie last year. Nice older woman.
Angela Marie Hennes went missing for 10 days in January. Her body then turned up in a farm field off Seven Sisters Road, in rural Scott County. Face down in the fetal position, her body had been badly burned.
Toxicology reports show she had no drugs or alcohol in her system. The last anyone saw her was when she was leaving her apartment on an unusually warm January day.*
Did anyone see anything? Scott County Sheriff’s investigators are asking, as they slowly, maddeningly piece together evidence that will one day reveal a killer.
“We haven’t given up,” Sheriff’s Capt. LeRoy Kunde said.
New information comes in daily, Kunde said. But what is really needed is a witness to blow the case open, someone who may have seen the
41-year-old Davenport mother of two sons at some point between Jan. 3 and Jan. 13, 2007.
In the hopes of sparking a memory, the Scott County Sheriff’s Department released more information about the case this month.
According to investigators:
Hennes had a troubled past that included drug problems and engaging in prostitution to help pay for the habit.
She could often be seen walking along 4th, 3rd and 2nd streets between her residence at the Ledo Apartments, 411 W. 4th Street, and Myrtle Street. Often, her boyfriend could be seen walking with her or on the other side of the street.
But there was much more to her as a person, Kunde said.
“She got caught up in a bad lifestyle,” he said. “But everyone who knew her, everyone we’ve talked to, has described her as cordial, polite, likeable.”
It is evident, he said, that Hennes had the capacity to have done much more with her life.
Sheriff’s Maj. Mike Brown said that Hennes’ burned body was found about 4 p.m. Jan. 13 in the 15000 block of 100th Avenue, also known as Seven Sisters Road. A vehicle’s tire tracks were also discovered.
Before it was blocked off, he said, the area was sometimes used by prostitutes and their customers.
“The pathologist said she had been dead two maybe three days at most,” Brown said. “But she had been missing for 10 days. What we want to know is what she was doing and who she was with those other seven or eight days.”
He added that Hennes’ cell phone went off the day she disappeared, which was Jan. 3.
Gerald Bolt, the farmer who discovered Hennes’ body on his property, estimated at that time that he had last checked his property on Jan. 10, a Wednesday.
“Her boyfriend said he last saw her about 9 p.m. or so,” Kunde said. “He said she was heading to the grocery store. He thinks he may have seen her get in a vehicle later.”
Jan. 3, a Wednesday, was a warm day for the month with the high reaching 50 degrees. The low was 31 degrees. The next day, Thursday, was even warmer with the mercury hitting 52 degrees.
It was unusually warm the next week with highs mostly in the 40s and 50s. It wasn’t until the day her body was found that the high temperature remained below freezing. Yet, there had been traces of snow on several of those days.
For a time, investigators were concerned she had been killed by someone just passing through, possibly a long-haul truck driver.
“But those were not 18-wheel tracks we found,” Brown said. “I don’t think you could get an 18-wheeler in there and then get it out again.”
Besides, he said, something that big on that road would have looked out of place.
“The big questions are: Where was she those other seven or eight days,” he said. “Who was she with? Where were they all that time? What were they doing? And did anybody see them?”
If she was not being held against her will, then did she know her killer? Did she trust him? And why was she killed?
The Sheriff’s Department has not released the cause of death. As Brown explained, they want to be able to hold something back so that “wannabes” can be weeded out when they call, and they do. They also want to be able to verify any information that may be given to them by the killer when, not if, he is caught.
Hennes’ family
Hennes leaves behind family in the area. One of her sons, Matthew William Hennes, 24, lives in Davenport, and her other son, Daniel Jacob Priester, age 9, is being raised by his father Daniel Priester of Bettendorf, according to Scott County court records.
She is also survived by her parents, William and Linda Hennes, of Davenport; brother, Jeff Hennes; grandmother, Doris Ricketts; and many aunts, uncles and cousins, according to an obituary previously published in the Quad-City Times.
The obituary also stated Hennes was born Nov. 4, 1965, in Omaha, Neb., attended Davenport Catholic and public schools and graduated from high school in 1985. She went on to attend Scott Community College.
Hennes’ family has declined to comment on the case.
Sheriff’s investigators, with help from Davenport and Rock Island police, have questioned many people on both sides of the Mississippi River. But they have not been able to zero in on one suspect.
A dangerous profession
Those who engage in prostitution or pick prostitutes up for sex are taking a huge risk, said Davenport police Capt. David Struckman.
Calling it a “profession of desperation,” Struckman said that prostitution is often used to pay for a drug habit.***
“But it’s dangerous because most of the time you don’t know who you’re dealing with,” he said. “The prostitute doesn’t know who’s buying her services; and the person buying the services doesn’t know the medical or criminal history of the person they’ve picked up.”
Will the person paying for services get rolled, or will he pay for only so much and take advantage of the girl and demand more and do more, Struckman asked.
And then there is the chance of contracting a disease that can be carried to others.
It is not a victimless crime, Struckman added.
“If you take it at prima facie value, a man has paid a woman for a sex act,” he said. “It’s an agreement between two people for consensual sex. That’s one thing.
“But think about all the ramifications. What is she using the money for? What crimes might be involved around it? There could be a pimp somewhere, which is another crime. It just gets deeper and deeper and deeper.”

FIGHTING CRIME IN DOWNTOWN DAVENPORT
Security cameras are being set up around a 15-block area of the central city. Police patrol cars have the capability to tie into the cameras and record videos of crimes occurring.
That project is continuing, said interim Police Chief Don Schaeffer, adding that the cameras are being placed on public and not private property.
Former Police Chief Mike Bladel, who helped spearhead the use of cameras, said it would have been nice had they been set up earlier.
“Our personnel are aware of the issues,” Bladel said, adding that the department has been able to continue the focus to reduce street and vice crime in the downtown area.
Davenport police have fought the drug and prostitution culture in the downtown area over the years.
For the past several months, officers have been targeting the downtown area, and it has made a noticeable difference, officials said.
SEVEN SISTERS ROAD REMAINS CLOSED
A portion of Seven Sisters Road, where Angela Hennes’ dead body was found in January, remains closed to public access.
The Scott County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution to downgrade to “C” status part of the road, also called 100th Avenue, in March. Gates and no trespassing signs have since been put up on the road between Telegraph Road and West Locust Street.
A farmer found the burned remains of Hennes’ body in a field off the one-lane road, just outside Davenport city limits.
Area farmers complained to the county board that for years the stretch of road attracted “people and their girlfriends” as well as garbage and other unwanted items.
$5,000 REWARD
There remains a $5,000 reward for anyone with information that leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever killed Angela Marie Hennes.
Anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, should call, Scott County Sheriff’s Maj. Mike Brown said, adding that what may seem unimportant may be the clue that breaks the case.
Anyone with information should call the Scott County Sheriff’s Department at (563) 326-8628 or Crime Stoppers of the Quad-Cities at (309) 762-9500.
Davenport Prostitute Murdered
Davenport police are investigating the suspicious death of a Davenport woman and say she may have been the victim of a homicide.
Agnes McFedries Kennedy, 51, of Davenport, was found about 8:30 p.m. Saturday December 22 lying unresponsive in the alley in the 1800 block between West 7th and West 8th streets, Davenport. A couple returning to a residence near the scene discovered the body, police said.
Kennedy was unresponsive when emergency personnel arrived. She was transported to Genesis Medical Center, West Central Park, where she was pronounced dead.
"Due to the suspicious nature of the death and many unanswered questions, the death is being investigated as a homicide," Davenport police Capt. David Struckman said in a press release Sunday, Dec. 23. An autopsy was conducted Monday in Ankeney, Iowa, but results weren't immediately available.
We are in the process of gathering physical evidence, interviewing associates of the victim to determine her activities (Saturday) and attempting to contact any other persons who might have knowledge regarding the events that resulted in the death of (Kennedy), Struckman said.
Kennedy, the daughter of well-known Quad-Cities auctioneer Scotty McFedries, had numerous minor brushes with the law over the past few decades.
She had been found guilty of such charges as driving while barred, theft, failure to maintain control, speeding, registration violation, prostitution, driving with a suspended license, harassing a public official, operating a vehicle while her license was suspended and failure to maintain a safety belt.
"We know of her past. That has a lot to do with who she hangs out with," police Capt. David Struckman said Monday. "We have a person of interest we're looking for, but that's all he is right now, a person of interest."
Agnes McFedries Kennedy was known as "Aggy" to those who knew her while serving time in the Scott County jail.
"She was in there for different reasons including prostitution and stuff but she was really a sweet lady" said Misty Siek a former inmate. According to Siek, Kennedy was a prostitute to make her living.
"She was always careful tried to be safe andI know it's not the best thing to do to get money but she said she wasalways careful."
Siek was shocked when she heard the news that the body of the lady she first made friends with while in jail was discovered in an alley laying in the snow Saturday night.
Did she ever say anybody wanted to hurt her?
"No not really, she did say she had a couple of John's that were pretty rough with her" responded Siek.
"She doesn't live in that end of town where her body was found I don't think. She had the wrong idea of how to get money butI don't think anybody deserves to die like that."
In February 2005, the gentle-natured and soft-spoken Ms. Kennedy was interviewed by a reporter with The Dispatch and The Rock Island Argus about her life as a prostitute. The article used a pseudonym for Ms. Kennedy.
At 26, with three kids and a minimum-wage job, she couldn't pay her bills and Ms. Kennedy said she made the ultimate moral compromise. She went from working as a junior high school teacher's aide to working in a so-called "massage parlor" that in fact was a front for prostitution.
For the next 20-plus years, the life of prostitution came with a price. Though she eventually married, it didn't last. Some of her children, now grown, hated her, she said.
In the 1980s Ms. Kennedy was married for a time, but she continued to work until 4 a.m. at a massage parlor while her husband played Mr. Mom. "That didn't last long," she said.
And she'd been in jail numerous times for strings of prostitution arrests. The latest came in June 2006. She served 30 days in jail. Her longest sentence was two years in jail for prison.
"The social ramification of my behavior has been devastating to my family," she said in the interview. "If I would have known full circle what I know now, I would have stayed at my nasty minimum-wage job. I can't make yesterday better. I can't change it."
Ms. Kennedy believed prostitution was a victimless crime. "If you eliminate prostitution, you put a lot of people in harm's way because there is no place for people who are sexually frustrated to turn," she said.
Following the interview nearly two years ago, Ms. Kennedy said she'd continue to be a prostitute "until men don't find me attractive anymore."
Anyone with information on the death is asked to call the Davenport Police Department at (563) 326-7979 or Crime Stoppers of the Quad Cities at (309) 762-9500.
There was no picture in any of the news stories. There was an older woman I saw out many times who was not to my liking so I never picked her up. This may have been her.
Officials reluctant to link deaths of 2 prostitutes
Two known prostitutes have been killed in Davenport in less than a year, prompting some to believe a serial killer is stalking those who walk the streets. It also gives the police the chance to take a break from their regualr activities and pursue a real criminal, or criminals as the case may be.
Authorities are reluctant to make such a judgment, though, considering the dangerous lives of prostitutes. "Right now, there is no indication the two (slayings) are related," Maj. Mike Brown of the Scott County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. "It's a high-risk lifestyle," Scott County Attorney Mike Walton said. "If someone has contact with many strangers, there's always potential for danger."
On Saturday, the body of Agnes McFedries Kennedy, a self-described lifelong prostitute, was found in an alley along the 1800 block of West 7th Street.
Davenport police Capt. David Struckman said the 51-year-old's death was being investigated as a homicide, because of its suspicious nature and many unanswered questions. No new information was released Wednesday in the case.
The badly burned body of Angela Marie Hennes, 41, was found in an isolated farm field in the 15000 block of 100th Avenue on Jan. 13. She had been strangled. Her death remains unsolved, with a $5,000 reward being offered for information in the case. Her friends said that sometimes Ms. Hennes worked as a prostitute -- statements confirmed by her three arrests for prostitution.
In both cases, police are working to establish where the women were and whom they were with before they died. That can be difficult, because it wasn't uncommon for both women to go for a period of time without contacting friends or family because of their lifestyles, Mr. Walton said.
In Ms. Hennes' case, police are looking to fill the gap of time from Jan. 3 until she was found 10 days later. "That 10-day span hurt our investigation," Maj. Brown said. "We're still needing leads from the public." Maj. Brown said investigators believe Ms. Hennes' prostituting had "a strong connection" to her death.
Both women served time in jail for prostitution and other offenses.
In Davenport, when police conduct stings, it's not uncommon for women arrested for prostitution also to be carrying crack pipes. It's the combination of drug use and constant contact with strangers that leaves prostitutes vulnerable, Mr. Walton said.
"Getting in and out of cars with men they don't know to do drugs or have sex leaves them in a situation most people are never in," he said.
In an interview with a reporter for The Dispatch and The Rock Island Argus in February 2005, Ms. Kennedy -- who was identified by a pseudonym in the story -- said there aren't any safety nets protecting prostitutes. She said she had been seriously hurt three times in her then 22-year career as a prostitute.
"I guess I look pretty confident because most of the time people won't mess with me," she said.
She said it scared her to know some people think one less hooker is a good thing. "Nobody wants to be a missing (prostitute) that no one misses at all," she said.
Mr. Walton he was unsure if Ms. Hennes' and Ms. Kennedy's deaths were related, but that the cases would be compared for similarities, including the manner of death or any unusual aspects of the crimes.
"Obviously, that's something that would be looked into," he said. "At this point, it's premature to say because these two women were murdered that it was a serial killer."
Prostitutes are considered the most at-risk targets of serial killers.
In May 2006, Larry Bright, 39, pleaded guilty to seven counts of first-degree murder and one count of drug-induced homicide in Peoria County. He confessed to killing eight women who engaged in drug use and prostitution during a 15-month period in 2003 and 2004. He has been sentenced to life without parole.
In recent years, Washington, Florida and British Columbia have also had a series of murders of prostitutes.
Maj. Brown said after consulting with profilers with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, local authorities don't believe Ms. Hennes was killed by a serial killer, although they didn't rule it out.
He said Wednesday he doesn't believe the deaths of Ms. Hennes and Ms. Kennedy are related.
Anyone with information in either case is urged to call the Davenport Police Department at (563) 326-7979, the Scott County Sheriff's Office at (563) 326-8628, or Crime Stoppers of the Quad Cities at (309) 762-9500.
Ho ho hum, as usual the eyes in the back of my head called this one right.
Police execute search warrants in Davenport homicide
Tuesday, January 08, 2008
Detectives investigating the killing of Agnes McFedries Kennedy have searched at least three residences and two cars, seizing drugs, clothing and a variety of other items that may give them clues about her death, documents filed in Scott County District Court reveal.
No one has been charged with the death of McFedries Kennedy, 51, who was found dead Dec. 22 in an alley in the 1800 block between West 7th and 8th streets in Davenport. Police believe, according to the search warrant documents, that her death happened elsewhere.
“It is apparent her body was moved,” the search warrant for her apartment states.
The searches included an alleged crack house a block away from where McFedries Kennedy was found, a building she was known to frequent, documents state. The house, at 1831 W. 6th St., is being purchased on contract by Jesse James Stewart, 57.
Stewart was arrested after a search warrant was served at the home a week after McFedries Kennedy’s death. The subsequent search revealed 78 grams of crack cocaine there. Stewart is charged with drug possession and keeping a drug house, according to court documents.
He was charged in July with domestic abuse alleging that he strangled and threw a woman to the ground, but those charges were dropped.
A Ford Taurus registered to the Temple of Truth and Wisdom at that address, 1831 W. 6th St., also was searched. Police seized jumper cables, a seat belt cover, roll-on deodorant, an empty cigarette box and several cigarette butts from the car, court records show.
The search of an apartment at 801 W. 15th St., which McFedries Kennedy shared with William Morgan, gleaned a light blue towel from the kitchen, some crack cocaine paraphernalia, a white leather coat that belonged to McFedries Kennedy, a purse and a sock from a kitchen freezer, court documents state.
A search of an apartment at 1002 Ash St. yielded a navy pea coat, a cell phone, black flip-flops and a can containing drug paraphernalia. Police searched the apartment after investigators “learned that the last person who talked to Kennedy on the phone, approximately 45 minutes to an hour before she was killed, said she was leaving at that moment with a man by the name of Kenny (Kenneth Odom),” according to court records.
Three people also stated that they saw a person matching Odom’s description in the area at the time McFedries Kennedy’s body was found, court documents state.
Odom is being held in the Scott County Jail on charges of first-degree theft. Police say he admitted stealing $70,000 over two years from a 79-year-old person he had befriended.
Police also searched a 1996 Cadillac owned by William Wade Taylor and borrowed by Steven Hernandez and Mirranda Kirkpatrick, a friend of McFedries Kennedy. Officers removed nothing from the car.
Got in the saddle today and discovered what the horse had for lunch.
Had my first little bit of fun for 2008 today. Met Amy down by the liquor store today. Took her to an indoor spot to spread out a bit and get some serious throat drilling accomplished. Had a nice time till I hit the bell in the back of her throat and she tossed her egg salad up. Yuk, didn't finish but really enjoyed her a bunch, personality and willingness is A++++. She is a cute blond I will throat again when I see her, in fact my dick tingles a bit from wanting to do it again. She is 22, auburn hair, a crackhead and reasonable. A Fun time and boy am I ready to see what was for dinner if I could find her on the way home tonite.
On a different note, did a little sniffing around on who killed these gals. Guess the word on the street for Aggie is, she was frequently a punching bag for her dope dealing ex. looks like they pretty much have it locked in on him.
On the other gal that I always wanted to try and never got a chance this is a little more creepy. Silence of the Lambs Creepy in fact, we got a real sicko that likes to tie them up and torture them a bit. I will expand on later a bit if the papers don't bust the story first. I am feeling a bit like Agent Starling and want to check this out more. If I disappear please look for me in the old and creepy warehouse under the bridge. Rope, lots of rope plays a sick part in this freaks mode of operation..............t-t-t-t-t-t-taaaaaaahhh t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-taaaaahhh
Say, I am think of buying my first Pickup Truck. I never had one and am sick of asking people to move this and that. How are they for getting truck head in? I am partial to F150's also, I want to feel like a workin man!!!!
Cops Show Lttle Progress in Real Police Work
As*one unsolved Davenport murder turned one year old over the weekend, investigators met to see if there are any links to another recent homicide.
The burned body of Angela Hennes was found January 13th, 2007 by a farmer in his field in rural Scott County.
Last month, another Davenport woman, 51-year old Agnes McFedries Kennedy,*turned up dead in an alley.
On Monday, investigators from Scott County and the city of Davenport met for the first time to talk about the two cases, to compare notes. One obvious common denominator in the two killings, both women worked as prostitutes in Davenport. But authorities say not to read too much into the joint meeting, that it is a standard move.
''I'm not implying there is (a link),'' said Capt. Leroy Kunde of the Scott County Sheriff's Department. ''But obviously we exchange notes and information to see if there is.''
On Sunday, the Hennes murder turned one year old and for now, investigators say the case is cold. ''We just need that one little break, that one individual that may know something'', Capt.*Kunde said Monday.
It's not for lack of trying. Investigators have tracked dozens and dozens of leads, travelled out of state, conducted ''hundreds'' of interview to try and find her killer.
''One of the problems is we believe that she was not murdered there, so the major crime scene is somewhere else, but...there were clues there'', Capt. Kunde said.
A 5-thousand dollar reward remains on the table for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer. The investigation has been scaled back the past year however, from an initial three investigators to one.
Capt. Kunde says the case is still a priority for the Sheriff's Department. ''Everybody has her picture hanging by thier desk, a reminder every morning. This was* a person, who deserved better. We haven't given up''.
