Man charged with killing Chelsea King may be linked to Amber Dubois’ death, police say

 Registered sex offender John Albert Gardner III is a focus of the investigation into the death of Amber Dubois, the high school freshman whose skeletal remains were discovered Saturday in northern San Diego County.

The announcement Monday afternoon by the Escondido Police Department is the first time authorities have acknowledged that Gardner, 30, may be linked to the case.

Gardner is being held without bail after being charged last week with the suspected murder of Chelsea King, a 17-year-old from nearby Poway.

His arrest renewed attention on the disappearance of Dubois, who was last seen on her way to school in February 2009.

Dubois' remains were found Saturday in rugged terrain near Pala off Interstate 15.

Authorities, who continued searching for clues on the remote hillside, have yet to disclose the nature of the tip that led them to the area.

Cut off his you-know-what without anesthetic.

Okay - now we have to band together, start a movement, and re-do the justice system currently in place. Obviously it is not working for us, and definitely not working for females. We have to replace judges and prosecutors who are not doing the job we need them to do. The killing of innocent young women must stop NOW.

Watch the Jane Velez-Mitchell show on CNN to find out what you can do to get involved in this movement.

You are so right on @Cathy Greene!
People seem to forget (or are ignorant) that THEY are the rightful masters of all government, whether state or federal. Those who do public service are the SERVANTS! Get your priorities straight people.
The problem IS the lawyers and judges, etc. Why do you imagine that the drafter's of the CONstitution (federal) prohibited "titles of nobility" (Art. I, Sec. 9), i.e. LAWYERS, a.k.a. ESQUIRES, from holding ANY public office... because they would (and did) subvert the system to self profit their own PRIVATE LEGAL SYSTEM of law! They manipulated and 'stole' this nation for self gain. (Search for: “the original 13th Amendment”)
This is why monsters such as Gardner III are let run to havoc. It's profitable to cycle them in and out of the system. Each cycle means gain (employment & big paychecks) for those involved, the lawyers, the courts, the judges, the penal system, ad nausea. This HAS to be stopped at all levels, state and federal.
The quickest and simplist method to remedy this travesty would be to ballot petition for laws that remove ALL the lawyer/judicial self-appointed immunities that these prosecutors and judges granted themselves from liability of their lax decisions. Do just this and you see how blisteringly fast this present situation reverses.
And thank you for the CNN tip; I will try to catch the vid online.

PS: Art. I, Sec. 9, this is the CORRECT get Yobama out ticket... as well as all the other "esquire" pirates.
Do you not think even Jesus (Luke Ch. 11 & 20) had good cause to condemn the lawyers without any offer of redemption?

These are flawed human beings. We need the death penalty for the most violent of them.
