WHO HAVE YOU

BEEN TALKING TO?

   

    I feel extremely sorry for Becky - I think she may be mentally ill. I could go on and on about how her family says how crazy she is and her family says this and her family says that about her…

Posted by “vicky” on the Lancaster Talkback forum yesterday on a thread about LIPNews.

    Before I make my regular post today, I wanted to address this piece of garbage.  Let’s examine this in detail.  What members of my family does this person know? 

    My brother, Tom, whom I haven’t seen in over five years, and who criminally molested his younger brother and molested his foster brother, is in Botswana, Africa and has been for several years.  Is he the one telling you I’m crazy?

    His twin, Emily, I haven’t seen in over six years since the Thanksgiving my memories came back.  She lives in Vermont.  She has known Tom is a pedophile for years and knew about his molesting Steve - but never told the rest of the family.  Is that who you’ve been talking to?

    My brother, Steve, who was criminally molested by Tom when he was 13, lives in Massachusetts and I haven’t seen him in over six years.  One of the last times I spoke to him was on a conference call with all of my brothers and sisters.  My mother had been “ill” for all most nine weeks (long story) and my father was not letting her talk to her children and wasn’t giving out any information.  Steve (who hadn't seen my parents in over three years) said he would drive the eight hours to their house unannounced so he could find out what was going on and personally check on our mother’s health.  The question was raised that my father might block the door and not let him in and what would he do?  Steve said my father was old and he was stronger and he would push my father out of the way.  Does that sound like a normal family to you?  Is that who you’ve been talking to?

    Quyen, my “foster” brother lives in Virginia and I haven’t seen him in over six years since the Thanksgiving my memories returned.  My parents sponsored him as a Vietnamese refugee when he was in his teens.  He was also molested by Tom.  He's lived a heterosexual lifestyle since.  Is that who you’ve been talking to?

    My sister, Anne, lives in Minnesota and has modeled herself after my mother.  She has the most contact and has visited Lancaster many times recently to see my parents.   She is also the only sibling I have had contact with in years and I have seen her several times and she did me a huge favor.  I also wrote about her on my site (click here for “A JOURNEY OF PAIN”).  Is that who you’ve been talking to?

    Have you been talking to my cousin Phil who lives in Lancaster?  He is the son of my father’s brother who also taught at F&M his whole life.  Phil's sister, June, said her father molested her and she committed suicide several years ago.  Her father was known in family circles to have a huge pornography collection – and numerous affairs.  Is that who you’ve been talking to?

    He’s the only “close” relative I have in Lancaster except my parents.  Is that who you’ve been talking to?  How do the (fraudulent) anthropologist and the Radcliffe graduate explain what went on in their family?  By saying I am mentally ill?  And that explains the whole thing?

    I figure, Vicky, you are a complete fraud who wants attention or you are an incest loving Lancaster Quaker.  Have some guts, "vicky," and tell us who you’ve been talking to.

A CHANGE OF PACE

   

    I received the below email at 3:33 pm today.  Thank you so much.  Everyone who comes to my site immediately sees the link to the incest story above.  It will never come down.  Look at what sexual abuse did to a ten-year old girl (see "CALL THE DA" immediately below on this site).

    I've had several grueling days, but have much more time in the next week and I will pick up on the Roseboro case and much more beginning tomorrow.  The subject of, and the book, “A Murder in Paradise,” has been raised on several threads on DenverPaOnline.com (click here).  I will have something to say about that this week as well.  Thank you again to the emailer for writing.

 

Becky,
    I took some time and read through some of your site, but concentrated most on your story of incest. I can't say how touched I was and I am so sorry you have gone through this. I don't recall any incest in my family but I am a survivor of being with a man with severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I survived six years of abuse. I slowly lost my self esteem, my power, my self-trust. When you wrote about having to validate what is normal with your therapist, it brought tears to my eyes. The world I was living in was so dysfunctional I had to write it all down and then bounce it off of others to make sure I wasn't crazy in how I felt about it.
    My experience in no way is as deep and hurtful as yours. But I have to send you my utmost respect. You've done what you need to do to let the dirty secret see the light of day. And you've endured people disregarding you.  After all, "They'll never believe you." The wrong ones never will, Becky. And the right ones will never let you fall.
    I've been thinking about you and your experience all day and just had to say this to you. Some of us "get it". Keep going, and keep healing.
Hugs

CALL THE DA!

    I am in the process of contacting every major news station. Please do the same.

Posted on the Lancaster Talkback forum today under the article “When children face charges,” (click here),

    Please do the same.  Contact everyone you know about this story.  Call the District Attorney’s office and tell them this is sick and disgusting and outrageous.  Call (717) 299-8100 and ask for District Attorney Craig Stedman.

    When are they going to help this girl?  Ten-year-old girls don't molest other girls unless they have been molested themselves!   Get this child help!

NICE WIFE?

    A few quick notes today:

    Randall Funk turned 40-years-old this weekend and a planned surprise birthday party organized by Angela Funk for Saturday was apparently cancelled.  There was no activity at their Denver home where the party was to be held.

    An excellent source states the Roseboro children are living in their family home in Reinhold’s with Jan Roseboro’s sister, Sue.  They say the younger Roseboro children will continue to attend Denver Elementary School – the youngest going into the first grade.  This is the same school where the Funk’s oldest daughter will be attending kindergarten this year.

    It’s reported that Michael Roseboro’s attorney, Allan Sodomsky, has hired the Private Detective Firm of Schade Investigative Services in Reading to investigate Jan Roseboro’s murder.  Allan Sodomsky returned a phone call I placed to him last week this morning, but so far we have not been able to touch base.  Hopefully we will do so tomorrow.

     This email in from a close family relative of the Funks:

     When I first was told that Angie was the other woman, I was actually surprised but that emotion was short lived and then it was like "I guess some things never change".  She cheated on her first husband with a married man and of course we all know that ended in divorce.  She then had a few more husbands -just not her husbands.  She then met Randy which was probably the first single guy she had dated since her divorce.  The relationships she had with the married men always seemed like a game to her.  After she married Randy, who by the way had a little bit of money stashed away, and they bought their first house, which was paid for with cash, so that when they had children she could be a stay at home Mom and raise their kids.  Randy was 31, never left home, quiet guy who never really spent any of his money and had saved up about $400,000.00.  A very nice thank you.... you buy a house, I stay home to take care of the kids, and then I decide to cheat on you and get pregnant at the same time.  Geez, nice wife.

     Finally, thank you to everyone for your emails and I am so sorry that I have not had a chance to respond to so many of you.  My schedule today is crazy, but tomorrow and Wednesday it will lighten up and I hope to get back to all of you.  And that includes Carl!  Carl, how the heck are you?  I’m so glad you wrote.

Please check back tomorrow…

IN THE LIMELIGHT!

 

    I know she was at the beach when the police came to her. I understand she has been cooperative since that point. I don't know why it was reported that she came forward on her own. She did not come forward. She doesn't believe Mike committed this murder or that she has any part in the murder so why would she come forward? There was another question as to whether she reads this forum. I am assuming she does since I know for a fact she has been reading lipnews.  I don't think you can read one without reading the other. :)  Bigdenverguy has her down to a tee.  Bigdenverguy, do you also think a small part of her is enjoying the limelight?.... because I do. I bet she is also wondering why people aren't calling her and consoling her after all she has been through.

Posted on the DenverPaOnline forum under the "Roseboro case" thread (click here).

    Wow!  Hello, Angie!  Would you like to make a public statement?  I think it might be a good idea and I’d be more than happy to publish it for you.  Let’s talk…

Angela Funk

WRONGED!

   

    Maybe you've heard. Maybe you've taken satisfaction in it. The newspaper industry as we know it is on the ropes.

Ad Crable of the New Era in a column on August 18, 2008, “In changing newspaper industry, fear of job loss.”

    Marv Adams gave his readers the middle finger this week.  He knows what they want to read.  He knows the story that has people intensely interested, and rightfully so.  He knows the story that would have doubled his circulation today.

    And Marv Adams could care less.  Marv Adams is not fit to be the editor of an 8th grade newsletter.  Don’t buy his Sunday News this week.  There’s no news in it.

    Newspapers are trying to hold onto subscribers and to make the conversion to the Internet profitable, but it's not been easy.

    In the meantime, the owners of newspapers across the country are cutting loose talented writers who love their communities and have important things to say, who dig up information and wrongs you ought to know about.

Ad Crable from the same column referenced above.

    A brutal murder was committed in Lancaster.  A funeral director is charged with killing his wife and mother of his four children.

    The motive for the murder?   Michael Roseboro wanted to leave his wife to be with his mistress, Angela Funk, who lives less than a block down the street from his funeral home.  They had sex on the afternoon of the murder, although where they had sex has never been made public.  They shared at least two phone calls that evening.  Funks whereabouts on the night of the murder have not been made public by anyone, the police, the newspapers or by Funk herself.

    The story takes a number of nasty turns.  It’s reported by many that Roseboro had a number of affairs.  It turns out that Funk is married with two daughters.  This is not her first marriage.  Her first marriage ended because Funk cheated on her husband.  There are disturbing reports from relatives of a history of Funk having affairs with married men.

    And in a story that can’t seem to get any more riveting, it does.  Two very close family members have reported that Funk is pregnant.  Her husband, Randy Funk, had a vasectomy after their second daughter was born.  That means Angela Funk is pregnant by Michael Roseboro, her lover and the man in Lancaster County prison charged with the murder of his wife, Jan.

    This is about as ugly as it gets.  It is simply astonishing.  And the Lancaster Newspapers have not told you one word of this. 

    Gone are many journalists who write incisively about what is human and what makes our community different from any other on this earth.

Ad Crable

    That’s what newspapers do.  They tell us about the human condition and what makes us act and react the way we do.  They look for the reasons behind murders and tell us as many facts as possible as everyone looks for answers.  They probe the human mind and spirit.

    The Lancaster Newspapers have two photographs of Angela Funk on file.  The Lancaster Newspapers have never run one picture of Angela Funk.  They have completely blacked-out one of the most sensational stories in Lancaster for years.

    Until recently I was sure I could finish my writing career at this newspaper, if I wanted.

    Now, because of the sweeping upheaval in the industry, I am not so sure and it scares the heck out of me.

Ad Crable

    I’d be scared too, Ad.  Sadly for you, it will come sooner rather than later.  Your editors don’t know the meaning of the word “news” – and far worse - they could care less what their readers want.  That’s doesn’t sell in any business.  They brought this upon themselves.  Bye, Ad.  You are one of their better writers.  Good luck to you.

*** BREAKING NEWS! ***

HALF-SIBLINGS!

   

     A second very close source to the Funk/Rudy family has confirmed that Angela Funk is pregnant.  They have also confirmed that Randall Funk, Angela’s husband, had a vasectomy after their second child was born.  That means Michael Roseboro is the father of her child.  His four children and her expected child will be half-siblings.

     I just got off the phone with Marv Adams and Barbara Hough Roda of the Sunday News.  Don’t expect to see a Roseboro story tomorrow.  So - don’t buy their paper.  They apparently are “above” all of this!  Yeah, right.  What a hoot!  Tell it to Gil Smart who was sued by a woman (lesbian) in Quarryville. ..
