Prince William County is reeling from a double homocide where a Bulargian mother and her 8 year old son were brutally stabbed to death in Dale City.  The mother, Slavka  Naydenova , had been married to Lester Wilson  and had an 8 year old son, Paul Wilson.  Police are being very close-mouthed about motive and details of the case.  Some rather disturbing facts have emerged.  Naydenova’s brother had been murdered, execution style,  in 2003. 

According to Manassas News and Messenger:

Naydenova’s family ties don’t appear to have anything to do with her death, Ebert said. In fact, little is known about her, except that she and her first husband — Lester Wilson — bought the house on Hanover Court on Nov. 3, 2000.

Ebert said Naydenova met her current husband in Bulgaria in March 2003, at the funeral for her brother, Iliya Pavlov. Her husband, now a janitor, worked as one of Pavlov’s bodyguards.

Pavlov was Bulgaria’s wealthiest businessman and was alleged to be the head of the country’s mafia. A year before his death, he was named one of 25 billionaires in Central and Eastern Europe, according to the Sofia News Agency in Bulgaria.

He was shot to death in his office in March 2003.

On Wednesday, Pavel Naydenov — father of the Bulgarian tycoon and the slain Dale City woman — was quoted telling the Sofia News Agency that he thought his daughter’s death may have been a mafia hit.

“She could have had problems with making payments to banks, but banks hardly ever kill people over default loans,” said Naydenova’s father.

A suspect has been arrested.  A Russian woman named Natalia Wilson who just happens to be married to Lester  Wilson, father of deceased little Paul Wilson,  currently.  The couple has been married about a year.  Natalia has been described as a Russian ‘mail order’ bride.    Again, no motive given.  There have been suggestions of jealously, money, and other things causing friction when families divorce and remarry.  To date, all motives have been speculative.  It is very difficult to sort facts.  Facts seem to vary a great deal between the Washington Post, Manassas News & Messenger, and the Sofia Newspaper, Novinite. 

The more about the father of the deceased woman is quoted in Novinite:

Pavel Naydenov, father and grandfather of murdered Bulgarian Slavka Naydenova, sister of killed Bulgarian tycoon Iliya Pavlov, and her son, 8-year-old Paul Wilson has spoken of his grief.

Naydenov told local journalists that he had failed to do the main duty of a father – to protect his own children. He also added that no one should link the murder of his daughter in the US in a personal fight on Monday with the assassination of his son in Sofia in 2003 and that Darina Pavlova – the wife of Iliya – was also not linked in any way.

Pavel added that Slavka will be buried alongside her mother in the Bulgarian village Mirovyane, near Sofia.

It makes one wonder why this Bulgarian tycoon didn’t help his daughter with the finances he mentions. 

Much has been said on this blog about how the crime in Prince William County has become increasingly urban.  Now we have to add international to our list of descriptors.  Police have been working with the Russian FBI and with Bulgarian interpreters to solve this case.  This is not the time to cut back on cop money.  Make the financial slashes some place else.

Having a big mouth just doesn’t pay sometimes.    Powell stupidly shot off his mouth in a letter to Commonwealth Attorney Paul Ebert and confessed to raping and brutally killing Stacie Reed, thinking that he couldn’t be tried twice.  It didn’t work out so well for him.  He got a stay of execution at the last minute back in July and his case headed for the Supreme Court.  The Supreme Court will not stop his execution.  The wheels of justice sometimes grind very slowly. 

 
Hot off the press from Manassas News and Messenger:

The United States Supreme Court will not stop the execution of a man charged with killing a 16-year-old girl at her Yorkshire home in 1999.

Paul Warner Powell was set to be executed for the murder of Stacie Reed in July but the Supreme Court postponed the execution, saying they needed more time to decide if they would review the case.

The Supreme Court decided this week not to intervene.

A new execution date has not yet been set.

Powell was convicted of capital murder for killing and attempting to rape Stacie at the family’s Yorkshire home on Jan. 29, 1999. He was also convicted of raping and attempting to kill Kristie, who survived.

 

Powell said he killed Stacie because she was dating a black man. He is a self avowed white supremacist.

Now Powell only has 2 things to ponder: Old Sparky or the Big Drip in the Sky. I hope he choses to ride the lightning bolt out of here. It should be painful to be both evil and stupid.  The links below include an interview with News and Messenger reporter Uriah Kiser when he thought the Powell execution was a go.  The News and Messenger has an excellent timeline.

UPDATE FROM MANASSAS NEWS AND MESSENGER

What’s going on in the City of Manassas  with all the loitering, pan-handling and shady goings-on  near Harris Pavillion  and the convenience stores?  I keep hearing as many complaints about these sites as I do about Coverstone 7-11.  It is impossbile to go in to  the Grant Avenue 7-11  (between Center and Church) without being  approached and pestered for ‘change.’  Some of them get aggressive when you ignore them.

The store clerks seem to be afraid of the people that hang out in front of there.  The loiters go in and steal from the store then they hang out and intimidate the approaching customers, that is when they aren’t too busy slithering around back to complete their ‘deals.’ 

This loitering has been an on-going problem for several years.  Maybe it is time for the City cops to start making routine stop-bys and run some of these jokers off.  For the record, my sources tell me it isn’t Latinos.  The people are mainly whites and blacks.  There are very few Latinos loitering.   I have also been told to advise women, both young and old, to not go near that 7-11, especially at night. 

It sounds like it is time for this neighorhood to be cleaned up and for the riff raff to move on.  The City of Manassas has a wonderful Old Town section that is being destroyed by this element.  The City has great cops also.  Perhaps people just move on and don’t complain.  However, if you can’t go in a store or to a pavillion because of the loiterers being obnoxious, this hurts the City and it hurts the City’s revenue.  There are enough good City people who are part of this blog that I know this matter will get the full attention of those who can and will fix the problem.  I have promised my souces this.

Monday night about 7:30 pm, a 50 year old lady was run down in the street, right on Grant Avenue near Byrd Drive in Georgetown South. She was simply crossing the street with a friend. The car that hit her kept on driving without regard for her welfare. The lady’s family is currently looking all over for a car that might have the kind of body damage that happens when it strikes a human.  The lady suffered life-threatening injuries. 

It is horribly distressing to learn that someone in our area is so selfish and callous that they would not even stop after hitting someone with their vehicle. Hit and Run is a felony. What is also disturbing is that I cannot find the lady’s name anywhere in the news. This lady has a name and is currently fighting for her life in the hopital. Can our local news agencies tell us a name so we can wish her well? Can the community help the family with any needs she might have? Can we send flowers or cards? When do we protect privacy to this degree? Something is wrong here. The lady has a name.

UPDATE:  The Manassas News and Messenger has updated its article on Ms. Morton who is struggling for her life at Inova Hospital.  Meanwhile her relatives continue their quest to find the car who hit her.  Ms. Morton was thrown 60 feet through the air.  Full article

This is a horrible story and the driver of this vehicle should be caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.  Meanwhile, our thoughts and prayers go out to Ms. Morton and her family.  May she have a full recovery.  Kudos to the Manassas News and Messenger for doing a follow-up story on this heinous crime. 

Westgate became an armed camp around 5:30 Friday night.  Sirens screamed, a chopper swarmed overhead, Rescue squads streamed down the street as well as fire trucks.  Prince William County police are searching for a man, David Marcelis Frye, age 37 and have issued warrants for him for aggrevated assault and malicious wounding.  Meanwhile, his ex-girlfriend was transported from the  96oo block of Lafayette Avenue to an area  trauma unit with life-threatening injuries from knife wounds. 

Frye is also wanted for making threatening phone calls and for failure to show up for court.  Meanwhile this man is not in custody and is being sought by the police.  He is black, with short hair, around 220 pounds and approximately 6 ft. tall.

Nothing will bring Luis Ramirez back to his family, but the wheels of justice have finally begun to turn in the correct direction. I was truly shocked to hear of charges levied against the very people who are suppose to uphold the law.   As reported by CNN:

Washington (CNN) — Five people, including three police officers, have been indicted on charges related to the beating death of a Latino man in rural Pennsylvania in July 2008, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

Two indictments charge the five with federal hate crimes, obstruction of justice and conspiracy in what authorities are calling a racially motivated attack.

Almost 40 people were arrested the past week from age 18 to 54 for dealing heroin and perscription narcotics.  Many of these people allegedly sold large amounts of heroin and presecription narcotics to high school students and young adults in Prince William County and western Fairfax County.  Law enforcement noted how easy it was for young people to score drugs, often in retail store restroom, gyms, grocery stores, pharmacies and people’s homes. 

Prince William County Law enforcement was alerted when there were a series of overdoses in the Manassas area,  in particular, the overdose deaths of Matthew Mittong and Mindy Weakley.  PWC 1st Sargeant Hess said that they couldn’t figure out how young people were making the transition from prescription drugs to heroin.  According to the Washington Post:

Hess said police have found large numbers of local high school students, some as young as 15, who were regularly buying and using opiate pills before switching to heroin because it is cheaper and more accessible.

Police are concerned that teenagers are trying drugs such as Percocet, Vicodin and OxyContin at parties thinking that because a doctor prescribes them they must be safe. Soon, Hess said, those teenagers are increasing their doses and later moving to heroin. “That false sense that it is okay can lead to very bad things very quickly,” Hess said. “Before long, they’re on the corner buying heroin. It’s a sad transition into the abyss.”

 

According to the News and Messenger:

In addition to heroin and prescription drugs, investigators said they also found cocaine, anabolic steroids, marijuana and guns.

Investigators said undercover officers were key in helping to identify who was selling the heroin, and prescription drugs. During the investigation, police said undercover officers made at least 50 purchases of heroin and prescription medication.

In addition to the houses raided in Dumfries and Woodbridge arrests were also made Tuesday in Dale City, Lake Ridge, Manassas, Nokesville and Springfield.    [ED note:  highlight mine]

All parents need to be aware this latest sting.  The drug use seems to be ubiquitous.  The article indicated that the drug use in this article was recreational and not the kind of use one associates with skid row and extreme poverty.  In fact, many of the kids involved were very middle class.  Click for the full story.

No parent can assume that their child would never.  That is dangerous thinking.  Many kids simply do not realize their own immortality or vulnerability until it is too late.  Drugs rob people of their dignity, their status, their health, their families, their education and their careers.  They turn decent people into liars, sneaks and thieves.

A list of all those arrested will be printed in the Wednesday edition of the News and Messenger.

TonightWUSA 9 NEWS had a fairly long story on the Woodbridge campus NVCC shooting. There were several articles with updates and interviews on their website. It is hard to imagine just how lucky we really were yesterday. According to one of the WUSA 9 articles:

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA) — A former high school teammate says suspected shooter, Jason Hamilton, was a “quiet” person who ran varsity track in high school.

“We used to have pasta parties at his house before [track] meets,” says 19-year-old Jarrod Zong. He says he graduated last year with Hamilton from Hylton High School.

Hamilton has been charged with shooting inside a classroom in NOVA’s Woodbridge campus, Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2009.

“Definitely one of the nicest people on the team. Just a quiet guy. I ran with him four years. Athletically, he came out of his shell. I didn’t see it coming,” says Zong.

9NEWS NOW saw Zong drop off flowers on the door of Hamilton’s house at the 14000 block of Baneberry Circle in Manassas.

Zong says he ran track and cross country with Hamilton. He says the track team was a second family to the suspected shooter.

9NEWS NOW obtained the charging documents from Prince William County Court. The documents indicate that Hamilton brought a bag with a hunting rifle into the classroom. He shot and missed the professor, Tatyana Krvchuck, twice. Hamilton later confessed to his actions

Shots were fired on the NOVA-Woodbridge campus this afternoon.  The shooter is in custody and law enforcement is doing safety sweeps.  Insidenova.com reports:

Police confirmed that shots were fired Tuesday afternoon at the Woodbridge campus of the Northern Virginia Community College.

Police said that a student armed with a high-powered rifle entered the main administration building at about 2:40 p.m.

Police responded to the call and treated it as an “active shooter” situation and the college implemented its emergency lockdown procedures, police said.

Police have one man in custody and said there are no injuries reported at this time.

More information will be released and we will update on the thread.  According to witnesses, gunshots were heard and teachers told students to run.  Thank goodness no one was injured.

UPDATE (5 PM):  From insidenova.com:

 Prince William County police spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Chinn says a student pointed a gun at a teacher in class Tuesday at the Woodbridge campus of Northern Virginia Community College. Chinn says the teacher ‘hit the floor’ when she saw the gun. The student has been arrested.

 

Occassionally we here at Anti-bvbl blog have been criticized for not  posting a thread about child molesters.  We could always count on other blogs (that shall go unnamed) to trot out each and every story if the child molester had an Hispanic last name.  We didn’t feel the need to cover the story.  We also don’t run a mini news series.  However, tonight we made an exception.   News and Messenger is currently running 3 separate stories about various cases of sex crimes against children.

The first story  involved a man with a Latino last name.  He was charged with the rape of a 10 year old girl who lived at the same address.  The man in this case is being held without bond. 

The second story  started out in the town of Dumfries and led to the arrest of a man living in Alberta, Canada for various crimes involving pedophilia.  According to www.insidenova: 

Police were alerted to Mackintosh after a tip from Northern Virginia’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Dumfries police Officer John Chapman said he communicated with Mackintosh and posed as a male pedophile for two months.

 ”The man found me online and expressed a desire to meet a young boy at a retail store and then take him by force back to his home,” Chapman said.

 After receiving that message, Chapman said he contacted police in Edmonton to alert them.

 Police searched Mackintosh’s home and computer, where they found “thousands” of images of child pornography, Wickens said.

Officer Chapman is a hero.  Who knows what horrors his actions prevented.  MacKintosh has been charged with distributing child pornography. 

The third story  involved a 49 year old Dumfries man who gets the dubious honor of being dubbed ‘Fugitive of the Week.’  He is wanted for child sexual assault which includes:

The warrants charge him with object sexual penetration, aggravated sexual battery and taking indecent liberties with children.

Anyone with information about Snider’s whereabouts is encouraged to call Prince William County Crime Solvers at 703-680-3700.

So we have a Latino charged with rape , a Canadian charged with pedophilia Internet crimes and a white guy from Dumfries charged with sexual assault which includes object penetration.  Obviously sexual deviancy against children crosses all racial and cultural lines, if our sampling is any example.  What makes these creeps do these heinous behaviors?  Why do these people ever get out of prison? 

Every day there is some statement made about childhood obesity.  I venture to say half of it is caused by children not being allowed to go outside and be kids.  They can’t.  It is too dangerous with these kinds of people running loose and preying upon our children.   They stay inside, eat, watch TV or play video games. 

I vote for life in prison when these acts are committed against children.  One child molester is one too many.

The State of Virginia executed Larry ‘Bill’ Elliot tonight around 9 pm.  Elliot was the oldest person on death row in Virginia.  He was convicted of killing 25-year-old Dana Thrall and 30-year-old Robert Finch in a capital murder charge. Both victims were killed inside Thrall’s Woodbridge townhouse on Jan. 2, 2001.

Elliot chose to die by electrocution, which is still an option in Virginia.  The U. S. Supreme Court refused to consider his appeal and Governor Tim Kaine refused to intervene. 

Elliot killed Finch and Finch’s girlfriend Dana Thrall over a custody dispute between Finch and Elliot’s girl friend named Rebecca Gragg.   Click for the story.

Prince William County has had 2 executions in a week.  Last Tuesday, Beltway sniper  John Allen Muhammad was executed by lethal injection, again convicted in Prince William County.  The execution chambers are at the Greensville Correctional Center in Waverly, Virginia.

So, as they say, Elliot got to ride the lightning bolt.  One less killer.  For those who defend the death penalty, justice has been served.  For those who do not, I suppose it hasn’t been a very good month.

There have been several developments regarding the Fort Hood Massacre.

The Army has charged Major Nidal Hasan with 13 counts of premeditated murder. Hasan can get the death penalty if he is convicted.

There is some concern from doctors at his last post that Hasan is psychotic. Of course mental illness does not translate into legal insanity, necessarily.

According to Fox News:

President Obama has ordered a review of all intelligence related to Fort Hood shooting suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, and whether the information was properly shared and acted upon within government agencies.

The review will be overseen by John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism. The first results are due to the White House by Nov. 30.

Obama also ordered the preservation of the intelligence. Members of Congress, particularly Michigan Rep. Peter Hoekstra, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, have called for a full examination of what agencies knew about Hasan’s contacts with a radical imam and others of concern to the U.S., and what they did with the information

Good for President Obama. It is time to put sunshine and transparency on who know what when. Sadly, regardless of what is discovered, Hasan is not the only one. The time frame seems reasonable also.

.

Larry King interviews the ex-wives, Carol and Mildred and a son, Lynn, of John Muhammad. The women say some rather surprising things.

There is both good news and bad news on the gang front.  The bad news is that gangs are creeping down into middle schools and they have become the new epicenters for gang recruitment as well as gang activity.  Middle schoolers are typically aged 11-15. 

The good news is that gang activity and crime have dropped since 2004.  In 2007, gang offenses in public schools were down 37%.   Much of the good news is attributed to the efforts of the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force.

In releasing the Northern Virginia Comprehensive Gang Assessment, a study of the region’s gang activity from 2003 to 2008, officials emphasized that although middle school gang activity is a concern, gangs are less of a problem in Northern Virginia and its schools than they are elsewhere. They credited the task force and a strong regional economy.
