I guess we are all now used to when a husband murders his wife-it is no longer newsworthy??

Does anyone have any 411 on the homicide in Fairfax Station?

Does this help?

Or you can look here:

I show a Don and MaryAnn Teague in Fairfax Station.

It says Don is a graduate of VMI-played baseball and football.

Also, shows a son at Denison Univ who plays baseball.

Same family???

News said she was a para-legal he is a professional something or other

Lobbyist. He is a Lobbyist.

Here is why....

The 58-year-old female..


...If she were 28 with big tits, Greta Van Sustern and Nancy Grace would have a 24/7 vigil going on outside the house.

Just asking... would that get us a pass from you and Vince(1) for watching Fox News? Or would watching Greta talk about a 28-year-old trophy wife with big tits (with vids and pictures in the piece) make us "Republikans"?

I figured botched murder-suicide at first....but both were shot in the torso. Wouldn't the one committing suicide blow their head off?

Maybe somebody was ripping off their dope like the one in Springfield?

Mrs. Teague was a fantastic teacher.

dont know them

Who shot whom?

What the heck takes the cops so long to release details?

Someone mentioned Mrs Teague was ateacher-at what school.

I think their son went to St Stephens.

Heard she shot him, then herself......

i know someone that lives about 5 houses down from them. they have 3 kids in college and they were going through a bad divorce. my friend says the woman was a nice lady but she had never met the husband. she believes that the woman shot her husband then shot herself because he was shot in the torso and she was shot in the head. but since the husband is still alive, im guessing we will have more information once he is released from the hospital.

Mrs. Teague taught in Fairfax County Public Schools, including Hunt Valley Elementary School in the early/mid 1980's.

Married with kids, and yet had never met? Now it is starting to make sense, she may have thought he was a home intruder maybe?

Has anyone seen info on a funeral or memorial service for Margaret? The news has stopped reporting on it and other than basic info, I can't find anything out there.

Can you imagine? You're going through a divorce, and your sweetie decides to off you, but only wings you....then kills herself.

Not too shabby!

The Death Notice and picture is in the Post today (print edition) on p. B9, Metro section.

Is this her?

http://www.artzlawfirm.com/mt.htm

Yeah, that's her.

She was a much loved teacher at Hunt Valley Elementary school when I went there (early-mid eighties). Such a shame for the entire family.

She was shot in the chest at close range--he in the thigh--his wound sounds self-inflicted after the fact

Thigh...more like groin.

So, do they think she shot him and then herself? Or, did he shoot her and then himself? I can't seem to find a clear account from any source.

The gun was his--enough said

You must be the husband

Have any charges been filed against the husband? Does anyone have any intel on this?

has an estate sale been announced in this case?

Awfully presumptuous to assume he has anything to be charged for. Need I remind that in the case of the Vienna shooting it was the wife that shot the husband? She was convicted, by the way.

And in the Vienna case the shooter was the one who lived!!! What does that tell you????

And BTW in Vienna she shot him in the open, in the driveway, so there was not much of an issue about what happened.

unless you are looking to move in, you should know, you cant sell a house without telling the buyers about the murder. it drives down the value.

No, she didn't. She wrote stuff on the driveway. He was shot and killed inside the house.

I asked about charges against the husband because he described a struggle for the gun in his statement to police. Technically, he could get manslaughter, etc. Also, if you look at the Guest Book at washingtonpost.com, no one mentions the husband. Not once. I wonder if the close friends of the family know something we don't.

They do--the investigation is ongoing. She was a classy, kind lady, very devoted to her terrific kids.

He used to work in my building but although I passed him in the hall often never had any interaction with him. Those who did say he had a violent temper. Most of us are on our best behavior at work. So if he was throwing objects across conference rooms at work, just imagine what he was doing when he was in the comfort and privacy of his own home.

You do have to disclose 'Stigma' it has to be something a reasonable person would consider relevant to the history of the house (ghost stories - no; murders - yes).

No sale anytime soon--husband is back living in the house

What the heck happened?

Have the Keystone Cops figured it out yet?

Seriously, he's livin in the house? I guess his injuries weren't too bad. In Fairfax, do the police send the evidence to a grand jury prior to charging someone, or do they do it whenever they want to? I really wonder how this is all gonna go down.

The speculation on this board seems reckless to me.

I've read all these comments, and the only part I believed was this: She was a lovely person, and she died.

All this speculation about who probably or certainly shot whom -- we don't know. We do know that he said she shot him, and then he shot her. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not, but to say one way or the other, when you have no information at all, seems indefensible. At some point, there will be a charge, or there won't, and there will be a police report. Then we'll know more than we know now. Maybe we'll never know exactly what happened.

In other words, it isn't Law and Order. It's the lives of two people in our community, two people who have kids. Kids old enough to read this sort of board.

Murdering the wife is a tough thing......er I mean GETTING AWAY with murdering the wife is a tough thing.

I hope the detectives nail this motherfucker.

I don't know, man....no eyewitnesses. I'm sure they're doing some serious forensics...angles and shit.

I sure hope the letterman ends up in a cage for a few years. I'll settle for manslaughter.

I think as taxpayers we have a right to know what happened. Their "privacy" was violated when they decided to shoot at each other.

If the husband is a murderer then let's see the charges. We pay these cops salaries we deserve to see the end result.

I cannot imagine what the heck is taking so long. If the husband is innocent, I am sure he would appreciate his name being cleared.

It is a pity we have to rely on these boards for info-so until the cops pony up information, that is the best we have.

I offer no apologies.

I agree that this appears to be taking a long time, but it seems like the police have much to do to try an figure out what happened. Only one person can give a version of what happened, and forensics, DNA testing, etc. takes a while, particularly in this age of tight budgets and limited resources. It may take a little longer, but what happened will be explained to the extent it can be.

As several posters have said, it is also important to remember that this was a wonderful person, obviously much loved by many people. The outpouring of emotion at her funeral was amazing--look at guest book in The Post to see what people felt about her.

Also remember the difficult circumstances for her children and the rest of her family given the uncertainty--at least for now--about what really happened and the fact that they have lost a mother, sister and daughter, tragically and suddenly.

Can someone send a link to the guest book please?

Because picking one side requires making a decision.

Thank you

Her obituary is in today's Post in the Metro section.

The obit says the criminal investigation is ongoing--sounds a little ominous

Work for him once. not a real nice person. May God forgive him for fighting with his wife

What do you mean? What did he do? Did he have a temper?

My family and I have been the Teagues' neighbors for 20 years. We never, ever saw them together around their home, in their vehicles or anywhere else. In addition to being very attractive, Mrs Teague was classy, friendly and neighborly. When her husband, OJ, was occasionally seen, he was unfriendly and arrogant. No neighbors knew they planned to divorce. If he gets away with this murder, he should feel very proud of the fact that he pushed his wife so far over the edge that she felt it necessary to introduce a firearm into the argument. If, in fact, he didn't introduce it. Whether he's prosecuted or not, he's still a son-of-a-bitch.

I hear from some sources in the police department that they are getting ready to charge the husband. His story does not stand up.

On March 8th, "Abe" commented on the "reckless speculation" on this board regarding Mrs. Teague's death. And, that "she was a lovely person and she died." He noted that this "isn't Law and Order."

Abe, firstly, you're an idiot. Mrs. Teague didn't just die. She was violently killed by a gun and a bullet. Since, after all, this isn't Law and Order, I won't speculate on how Mrs. Teague and not OJ was killed in the alledged struggle for the gun. If she had it in her hand(s), how did its barrel eventually point toward and shoot her. Did OJ have it in his hand(s) and just shoot her in the chest as she was "attacking" him. Even if she shot him first, did he actually need to shoot her to stop her aggression. He was three times her size. If he needed a gun to defend himself against his diminutive wife, being Mr. VMI and all, as his vehicle license tag so proudly advised, he should be charged with being a wimp in addition to murder.

Abe, secondly, you're a Democrat, right?

The posts by Neighbor are right on the mark. This was a woman loved by her neighbors, always involved with her kids, and you never saw her with Mr. VMI. She was the one planting flowers in the yard, walking the dog, or running the lake with her twin sister. He was just not part of the picture, but was recently unemployed. I never saw them do anything together.

The thought that she could have somehow been involved with a gun is totally out of character and ridiculous. How a man could kill the mother of their three children is inexplicable.

As for Mr. VMI, anyone who was at the funeral saw not a shred of remorse from him. Her children and the rest of her close knit family were clearly devastated and he spent the service staring off in the distance as if he were bored by the whole event.

There are a lot of questions about what happened and one can only hope the police get it right.

Not saying he's innocent or even that I'm on his side, I'm not, but just because he was staring off into space doesn't mean a thing. People deal with the deaths of loved ones in very different ways and in some cases there's a big disconnect from reality. Judging him or anyone else at a funeral based on how they appeared is stupid.

Any new updates on the case????

Thanks

Understand that the husband has hired a criminal defense lawyer.

Interesting, thanks. Hope this case doesn't get tied up in the system. Hope he is prosecuted just as quickly as Margie died.

I know this is a late response but really Abe, the cops don't have an obligation to give the public any solid information if an investigation is *ongoing*. You have to check a message board for information pertaining to a local crime? Oh god, that's almost as bad as having to check Twitter for a road closure!

I mean, you can't POSSIBLY be expected to search the internet to find the news you want, can you? Psh.

I keep hearing this guy referred to as "Mr VMI".

He sounds like a jerk and probably killed her-let's hope he gets what he deserves.

VMI is a great school btw so don't let this bad apple spoil the reputation of this fine college.

VMI is a wonderful school with a fine reputation. The point is that someone who displays his college affiliation on his vehicle license tag should at least be able to live up to the values/mores which he was obviously taught. Killing the loving mother of your three children, for whatever reason, was hopefully not one of them.

I worked with Mr. VMI in the past. He's a nut job. Very angry and bitter person about his life and particularly about his childhood. He was fired from his last three jobs. Most of the people that worked for him hated him. There are many people who are not surprised that this happened given his emotional instability.

For further information and status information, you may contact FCPD @

703-246-2558

No sense in posting questions here when you can go straight to the source. Odd that one would post a criticism of the investigators, given YOUR ability to investigate only the STATUS of an investigation.

Yeah, they gotta get it right so the motherfucker doesn't walk on a technicality.

They have all the time in the world...I don't think the statute of limitations applies to murder.

They were divorcing. She had someone else. Unsure of his status. My guess is he was the aggressor.

Who was the aggressor--Mr. VMI or " Mr. someone else."

What is the story on "Mr. someone else?"

Aggressor = husband. No story on "mr someone else" other than he was leaving his wife also.

Whoaaaa---did "Mr. VMI" know about "Mr. Someone Else?"

I didn't get the sense this was a secretive relationship. Both were divorcing and moving on. That said, I'm just a casual observer.

They are doing DNA on the gun and Mr. VMI should be arrested in a few weeks according to my source very close to family.

If he knew, it is even more amazing. Given the news reports that they were arguing about a divorce...sounds like things were out in the open. Why would he shoot her if both were moving on? Sound like she may have been moving on and he was not happy about it......

Given what I have read about Mr. VMI, and that this was all out in the open, I wonder if Mr. Someone Else needs to be a little extra careful?

What wonderful neighbors this guy has... being grumpy means you don't get to have a trial and proven guilty. Why don't you all just get some guns and pitchforks and go down the street and take care of things? After all, the police are moving slow and he's guilty anyway, right?

If his persona is grumpy in front of a jury (or w/the authorities) what do you think will happen?

Who cares and long as it is in a courtroom. But what am I saying? Maybe the neighbors should just ASSUME his attitude will get him convicted and just go down and administer justice now, saving everyone the bother of a silly trial.

They'll make great character witnesses.

pgens--are you MR. VMI?

That is a reasonable assumption... someone defending the right for a person (who may be guilty or not) to have a trial before his neighbors lynch him OBVIOUSLY must be in cahoots with the criminal elements of society.

Wait, what's that rumbling sound I hear? Oh never mind, that is just the generation of America's founding fathers rolling in their graves.

Not an advocate for mob rule under any circumstances, but mindful of general frustration out there. "grumpy" doesn't begin to describe character of VMI guy; bully, arrogant, loser, friendless, jobless, soon to be divorced. Snap. . .Happens all the time.

Curious if the neighbors who have posted have any insight into what the husband has been up to--is he still unemployed? Do you see him around? How does he act?

If a man murders his wife, thats his business. We don't know why he did it. I'm sure he had a perfectly good reason for doing it.

WE or "you" don't know why!

That rumbling sound you hear, Pgens, is Mrs. Teague rolling in her grave, not the founding fathers.

From what I observe, nothing has changed for OJ. Living in his house, driving his vehicle and going on with his business. Very nice. Isn't this a tad arrogant? Most people would be embarrassed or ashamed to show their greasy fat face after a murderous altercation with their spouse. Not Mr. VMI.

If Pgens knew Mrs. Teague and OJ, she wouldn't question why their neighbors feel like they do.

I asked why you aren't administering your own justice because you don't believe things like investigations and trials will work.

It doesn't matter if I know the people or not, it is obvious I can't convince the people in that neighborhood that due process is proper. I don't understand why you are in favor of pitchforks and torches, and why you would criticize someone for suggesting that they wait for the guy to get arrested.

I never said he was innocent, I said in this country we get things like trials. Your holier-than-thou response that attempts to paint me as a defender of spousal shooters is misplaced and unfair.

I think Neighbor is expressing the frustration that many people feel about the time the process is taking. It is my understanding that these kinds of test results take many months, even in a case that probably is a homicide. For folks who know the family, accepting Mr. VMI's statement that there was an argument, and "a gun was introduced," there is no way that Mrs. Teague could have been the one who "introduced a gun." Even if she had, he is twice her size and who could believe he could not take a gun away from her. If she came after him with a gun, how is she the one who suffered the fatal wound and he was back living in the house 2 days after she was killed? As you can see there are many questions and many people, while understanding there is a process, want to make sure the police get it correct--whatever happened. Having said that, having suddenly lost your wife and the mother of your threee children, one would expect to see some indication of remorse or recogntion of the loss. There is none of that.

you may find this hard to believe but people arent fast enough to dodge bullets like in the matrix. i dont know what happened but i do know he, like everyone else deserves a fair investigation and if it comes to it, a fair trial.

make no assumptions, the world is more fucked up than you make it out to be.


"the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."

You would not make that first comment if you knew the family, and certainly from these posts and the legacy book at The Washington Post you can get a pretty good feel for them. Hold good thoughts for the family, particularly her three kids, as they experience the first holiday without their mother, sister, and daughter.

Rumor around the law enforcemeent folks is that the first ballistics do not support the husband's version and that the rest of the lab results will be in very soon. Expect things to begin to happen.

"grumpy" doesn't begin to describe character of VMI guy; bully, arrogant, loser, friendless, jobless"

Can we add more to the list?: ruthless and unethical?


Signed, also a former co-worker

Is Mr. VMI starting to sqirm; let us hope justice can hold the shovel to him before he gets away.

Hear from my sources that the results should be done by mid to late May and the early read on them is they will establish that the husband "introduced the gun" that morning. Mr Someone Else might want to be careful, the husband may decide he has nothing else to lose..........

Suck a sad little fuck with your sources... ur a fucking lunatic

obviously one of the problems with this site is the inablilty screen posts for legitimacy or propriety. I have never understood why such personal posts are made, but I will let the prior one speak for itself. There is interest in what is going on in this investigation; all I was trying to do was share what I had been told. If you have other information, why not share it?

Your info is appreciated, you just have to tune out the trolls sometimes unfortunately.

So, what is the latest on Mr. VMI. How are those three kids dealing with all of this. Do they think Dad is responsible?

Mr. VMI has really not been seen much on Laketree Drive---not sure if he is still unemployed. House does not look as festive as it has in years past---no flowers, no activity, do not see the dog much.

he is employed.......

They must not know about this investigation--which is a little hard to believe-all you have to do is Google him---

Where is he employed?... Who hired him?

Not sure if he is working or not--he seems to be around the house a lot.

I'm sure today is a very sad day for Margaret's children. They are so young to be without their mother. I sure hope he doesn't end up getting away with this.

I think the balloon and the flowers in the front yard today said it all. A huge loss for all of her family, particularly for her twin sister and her parents in addition to the children, not to mention all of her friends and neighbors. Mot seeing her bounce down the street with her dog still takes some gtting used to. I do not think Mr. VMI has ever walked that dog.

Maybe he gets to work from home occasionally....MD is a long drive from VA!

New info...maybe??

Names & Notes



Largo tech firm names new executives

Quality Technology of Largo has named Andrew W. Cramer Jr. its CEO, Donald Teague its vice president of sales and marketing, and Deron Hurst a federal sales executive.

Cramer has more than 30 years of experience in the information technology industry and was previously president of enterprise systems at Maximum Corp., according to company information.

Teague was vice president at Savvis Federal Services, while Hurst was business development manager for Net-Star-1 Inc.

Now THAT is timely :)

Who would hire this nutcase who quite possibly murdered his wife?

This press release was about 30 days AFTER the murder.

So much for doing background information on potential employees. If this guy gets security clearance than we are all doomed.

Sorry pgens...I just saw the year! Well atleast we know where he worked 7 years ago! Haha.

Follow this link. Mr. VMI's name is displayed prominently on second page of website.

It bothers me how inaccurate all of your posts are. Don't you all have better things to do then pass judgment on an event in which you have no knowledge. The neighbors especially bother me. Go spend time at the pool instead of blogging about such a tragedy.

What bothers me (us) is how the truth bothers you! This may not be 100% acccurate but it is close Mr. VMI.

Everyone in this neighborhood has a right to know whether they are living next to a homicidal lunatic. If the wife attacked him first and he defended himself, then the cops should say so.

This silence reflects badly on the FCPD.

If he was a homicidal lunatic don't you think he wouldn't be allowed to live here anymore. Get over yourself and respect their privacy.

No name,

You must not know that DNA and forensics in Virginia can take up to a year. The fact that Mr. VMI has not yet been charged is not an indication of anything other than the delay in getting the test results back. As several posts have noted, with only one person alive to provide an explanation of what happened, these tests will be very important, so I suspect the police are being very careful to get the tests done correctly. The grand jury meets every month in Fairfax, so once the results are in it is safe assume the case will proceed more quickly.

The grand jury just indicted someone for a murder that took place last September.

courthouse,

you are scum. you are just trying to stir things up and make the situation a lot worse than it already is for this poor guy. your sources and rumors are unappreciated as they are not accurate.

noname,

you are scum. i don't understand people coming here and telling us to respect someones privacy. were not at their house peeking in their fucking windows. we can talk about whatever the hell we feel interests us here and well id say a murder mystery in someone's own back yard is pretty fucking interesting. if you are offended by this take your sorry ass outback and shoot yourself in the head so you wont ever be bothered by anything again.

maybe I will and then you guys can blog about how someone else was responsible

noname...if the blog bothers you so much, why do you check it?
BTW, there is nothing "poor" about this guy.

Anyone have any news? What is going on in this case?

Any news about the case?? Please keep us posted.

From the Meridian written in March by Carolyn Allen

A little background info on the "Teagues":

When Spencer was in about the 2 nd grade, without any encouragement on our part, he fell in love with baseball. From toddler-hood it was clear that he had inherited every athletic, competitive gene that was allotted to my children because the rest of them are quite content to get physical activity through other non-competitive means.

Spencer, however, was born to play hard, to study the teams, the players, the games, the history, and most of all, to compete hard in a healthy way and win.

I believe that some of that natural drive and passion was honed during his Little League years with a memorable coach when he was 10, 11 and 12. “The Mets” was a Little League team with a long-standing history of great training, a quest for excellence and many victories. It was coached by an outstanding man, a retired, disciplined military officer who was well-established in a lucrative second career. He had a stern, but fair demeanor that let us all know he was to be taken seriously.

We sat, as all Little League parents do, through many, many games with the other parents. Among our favorites were the coach's wife and her own parents. They were all lovely, lovely people, and clearly enjoyed “the good life.” The coach himself drove his athletically gifted sons in a beautiful Cadillac Escalade.

I had a hard time figuring out when he went to work as he was so available for coaching and games during hours that most Washington DC professionals are at work. His wife arrived just in time for games in perfect short-sets, emerging from her BMW at the ball fields as if she'd just been to the spa. Her perfect make-up and designer haircuts were a far cry from how most of us appeared for a ball game. Needless to say, she was trim and exceptionally attractive. Her hard-to-miss jewelry sparkled in the sun, accented by professionally polished nails hands as she clapped and cheered in a refined voice “Be a hitter, Kevin!”

Team parties were held at their home which was located in an exclusive luxury neighborhood. Every detail of their home, the yard and the lavish parties indicated that money was of no concern.

As we became acquainted over the years, we learned that they had earned their places: They had married a bit later in life, then had struggled with infertility for many years before being blessed with their three children, a son followed 2 years later by twins. They were wonderful people, memorable in ways far more important than the cars the drove, the clothes they wore, and the house they lived in.

Sadly, as Little League ended, so did our association with them. Nearly ten years quickly passed.

Two weeks ago, Bob picked up the Washington Post at a friend's house, that had been opened to the obituaries. To his great shock, there was the coach's wife! She was dead, at age 58. Even more distressing than the fact that she was dead was the cause of the death: “ She was shot during a domestic altercation, and the incident remains under criminal investigation, county police said. ” (“Margaret Teague, Fairfax Virginia, Age 58 Washington Post, March 14, 2009 )

How could this possibly be?! A quick search on the Internet revealed that, according to the coach's report to the police, they had been home alone arguing about their impending divorce after 37 years of marriage. (They had seemed so happy during our years with them! ) Somehow a gun was introduced into the argument. Police received a call from him, saying that they had been arguing, shots had been fired, they had both been shot. His wife was not breathing. The weapon was lying on the floor beside them.” When the police arrived, his wound was minor. She was dead. He maintains that it was her that first shot him, then in the wrestle, misfired and shot herself.

There are, however, no witnesses. How will anyone every know if what he reported is true?

We were, and still are, in shock. Everything seemed so perfect! Yes, they “had it all” but they were so nice! A divorce after 37 years? Were there spousal abuse problems? Financial problems? Anger management or clinical depression? Other mental health issues? Family skeletons in the closet? Gambling, drugs or alcohol problems? It is impossible not to wonder. And why were these things not addressed earlier? Surely there were warning signs that could have helped!

It's odd, isn't it, the things in this life that show, and the things that don't? The things that are ignored until it's too late?

Very well written. It is sad. It is amazing how much pain people are living with. It is amazing the masks people wear in public. There were clearly major problems here. I wonder how many folks making a huge effort to look happy and wealthy are hiding pain.

Pride gets in the way of getting help. Mental health issues are not accepted in our society. How many VMI graduates would put their families happiness before their own pride?

tl;dr

--------------------------------------------------------------
13 4826 0948 82695 25847. Yes.

The grand jury met this week. Anyone have an idea when the results might be known?

I assume he would appear in the arrest search in a week or two if there are charges filed.

Any recent news regarding this investigation?

Nothing yet, but we'll find out.

ffff....ffff ffff....

They got us working in shifts.

--------------------------------------------------------------
13 4826 0948 82695 25847. Yes.

Mr. VMI has been around the house a lot--not sure if he is still working. Looks like he has lost 20 pounds or so----does not look real healthy---

I pray that I am never murdered in Fairfax County because I don't think these bufoons will ever figure out who did me in.

Stve McNair was shot on Saturday. The NEXT DAY they concluded that he was murdered and the girlfriend shot him and then killed herself. Case closed.

What the hell is so complicated about this case?

Love the new diet - murder someone - then watch the pounds and inches melt off you!

Complicated, you betcha, due to the fact that Mr. VMI has money.

Or sometimes that happens to people when they are in mourning. Seriously I don't get why you people didn't do what someone else suggested and grab your torches and pitchforks, you are so convinced ¿who needs judge and jury anyway when YOU know what the outcome should be anyway? You are unamerican an immoral for wanting him lynched without trial let the authorities to their job and if you dont like it move to iran so you can stone people to death seems like youd get off on it

Silly of me - I'm sorry - you are correct - "SOMETIMES".

Grand jury meets on Monday

Progress...

Per source very close to family, case did not go to Grand Jury on Monday. Still investigating. Maybe next month. Mr. VMI is back working as nothing had ever happened.

This maybe another OJ scenario!

It is a great school which has produced some outstanding leaders.

The greatest general of them all, George C. Marshall, was a VMI graduate.

Seven VMI alumni have earned the Medal of Honor (Ditto for Virginia Tech).

This fellow has yet to be charged so hold your fire until he is.

VMI certainly has had its share of excellent graduates--and its Honor System is one of the few in the country that really works. Mr. VMI graduated in 1971, the height of the Viet Nam war and the anti-war movement--VMI was taking any warm body it could get to Lexington in those days.

I wouldn't go that far. Getting into the service academies requires a little bit of political savvy seeing as the appointments are made by Senators, Congressmen, etc. (Sorry, it seems if you do okay on the admission but just can't get your Congressman on the phone, you can go to USMAPS.)

courthouse watcher.....


wrong again. wrong every post you've written so far :)

Not all... Mr. VMI "oops" I mean "noname". :-D

How long is this going to continue! Get this guy to court. We all know he did it.
Anyone know where the 3 kids are spending their summer?

They have been in and out for a couple of months or so. Do not seem to spend much time at the house-have no idea if they do anything with Mr. VMI--have not really seen them together--

they are old now, perhaps they have jobs?

waiting, whos "we" and how do you "know"?

Looks like Mr. VMI may have a new girlfriend--she has been around the house recently

Now who is the creepy stalker. Sounds like maybe someone should be watching YOU.

Whether Mr. VMI is innocent or GUILTY why would anyone choose to be involved with a person who is in a situation like this that has not be resolved? <:-l

I'm wondering why she goes there with all the creepy neighbors peeking in the windows.

What makes you think she is a NEW girlfriend?

Chances are his girlfriend has chosen to overlook the creepiness of the situation preferring to focus on his MILLIONS instead! Can't take it with him when he moves into his new BIG-HOUSE.

Understand the grand jury is supposed to meet this Monday--anyone know if the case might be presented?

Is the lab work being done by the state or FBI?

If Mr. VMI is charged, will he be able to get bail??

What has happened to "the other guy?"

What 'other guy? He shot and killed his wife. No one else was involved except the two of them, and since she's dead only evidence is going to be able to tell what REALLY happened.

nver mind facts lik he took a bullet too

You're right. He did take a bullet too, conveniently in a non-threatening location. Like I said, evidence is going to have to tell the real story here.

Mr. VMI -- you know the family has asked only one thing of you "just tell the truth". DO THE RIGHT THING!

After spending 4 years at The Institute, Mr. VMI should uphold his commitment toward The Honor Code and accept responsibility for his actions--he has not done it so far, so there is no reason to think he will now. That is too bad for all concerned, but look at the posts here, his job history, etc--this is not an honorable man. It will be all that more devastating whrn the truth is finally revealed by the ballistics and police investigation.

He is an honorable man. Anyone who really knows him would be the first to tell you.

This is quite possibly the WORST example of bad grammar I have ever seen in any posting, in any stupid forum, in my entire stupid life. Ever heard of spell check, you stupid ass?

jhahceakejf,
If he was really an honorable man he wouldn't be in the situation he is in.

It was quite apparent and evident in the memorial tributes to Margie that close friends and the "family" that knew "Don" stayed as far removed from that acknowledgement as possible. That said enough!

Wouldn't that make it the best example of bad grammar?

You are absolutely correct!

Anyone who really knows him knows he's an honorable man? Oh really? Care to name names? I DO know him and not just in passing, Have known him for years and he is anything but honorable. He had been "killing" his wife for quite some time before finally pulling the trigger. While you're at it, why don't you share your definition of "honorable."

Obviously you don't know him...

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/honorable

What makes you think he "pulled the trigger"? This would have been wrapped up a long time ago if that were the case.

AND if he DIDN'T...this would have been wrapped up a long time ago!

We are quite aware of the definition of honorable. It is your interpretation of "honorable" that is corrupt.

Let me see....which would fit Mr. VMI:

1. Deserving or winning honor and respect. "NO"
2. Bringing distinction or recognition "NO"
3. Possessing and characterized by honor NO!
4. Consistent with honor or good name ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
5. Distinguished; illustrious NO NO !
6. Attended by marks of recognition and honor ???????

Sounds like u want to go administer yor OWN justice... maybe the polic should keep tabs on those here who dont feel the wheels of justice are goin fast enugh

Whut----- you are missing the point of virtually every other poster, many of whom clearly know the family very well. Look at the undisputed statements from many people--

Margie was clearly a classy, happy, much beloved mother, very devoted to her children and family;

Mr. VMI appears, at best, to be abusive, reclusive and perhaps irrational:

He is twice her size;

She was moving on in her life with another person;

She is shot once, fatally, with Mr. VMI's gun;

He has basically a flesh wound;

What happened is very clear, what is frustrating is the waiting for it to be proven;

But justice will prevail...

What is the hold up with the investigation?

laker,

you think you know, but you have no idea.

lakers,
And you do?

lakers,


The summanry by Laker seems to be fairly straight forward. Please share what you know that indicates he/she is incorrect.

Don't judge the book by its cover.

lakers

In other words you have no credible basis to refute the points made by Laker.

this was clearly the work of the bunnyman...

It's credible. It will come out eventually, and when it does, you will all look like a bunch of stuck-up South Run idiot soccer moms with nothing better to do than gossip about something that isn't the truth, doesn't apply to you, and is a very sensitive subject to a lot of people other than those who keep posting all of your hypotheticals.

A cover that draws attention can be an indicator of what lies inside.

lakers,

if it is credible just go ahead and share it. It is clear many people are interested in what actually happened, and you seem to indicate you know.

Yes, spread more rumors. We have many threads on here where people just gossip and state their gossip as fact, and some family member who knows otherwise logs on and gets sad over what they read. So rather than wait for a trial where facts are laid bare (the real facts, not the fake ones also known as "speculation"), I agree that all the neighbors should just post whatever they think is true or what someone told them across the fence or on the dog walk.

And then we'll keep watch on that neighborhood... when something happens to someone else that seems odd and it makes the news, we'll lay on the lies twice as thick and make sure these liars and gossips get what's coming to them, what they really deserve for spewing their crap. And just as they freely posted their speculations with your offensive witch hunt tactics, YOUR name may pop up somewhere in a Google search sometime that points here with OUR speculation on what happened before a charges are leveled and a trial date set.

If any member of the affected family is checking and posting on this forum I highly suggest you stay away. There are people who knew the family casually and truely want to know what the hell is going on with the case, and those that will just post nasty comments. Either way, that has got to be way too much to deal with. Save yourself the added grief and let the investigation and Courts do what they should, this isn't a forum that a grieving person should follow, it is too ugly.

Let the tolls descend, and I am sorry for any misspells. I just hope these kids can move on with their lives.

So lakers - when is your court date??

I check here pretty regularly to get the status of the investigation. It's not like I can call over to the police and get any information out of them. Whether "Mr. VMI" did it or not, Margaret was a dear friend of the family and I just want to know what happened. She didn't deserve to die like that. I can filter through the wild accusations and crap (most of which is darn entertaining), I appreciate any real info that posts here,too.

I also am one who would like to hear what is going on with the investigation. Its been almost five months. I agree with Annie Bee - she did not deserve to die this way. I know she very badly wanted to have children and feel she would have not chosen to leave them.

She would never have intentionally left her children, her sister or her parents. She was an awesome woman full of love for her family. Don is the only one who knows what really happened and he has to live with that knowledge the rest of his life. He will also have to face judgment by our Creator. Nothing that will be done to him on this earth will compare to his final judgment.

It is my understanding that there is still additional time needed for finish up the tests, but that things do not look good so far for Mr. VMI. Maybe the grand jury next month, Sept. 20.

i think she was an outrageous drunk who tried to sleep with all the teenage boys in the neighborhood.

I know everyone wants to see this case closed but I like seeing Mr. VMI suffering and squirming a little longer and then locked up and the key thrown away.

You're full of crap, "neighbor." Not nice to speak ill of the dead.

Let's try and keep this subject clean of the trolls, just don't respond to them - that is what they want. Dorks w/ no lives.

shhhh -you'll roon everyhing, man!

why do you goons keep this thread alive?bunch of old ass men talking shit about another old ass man. This thread is straight outta the girls high school locker room.

It is my understanding it was not presented to the grand jury today, but since the testing is almost done, the plan is to present it to the grand jury next month. There apparently is plenty of evidence of premeditation and bizarre behavior by Mr. VMI before the shooting.

Mr. VMI has apparently stopped bragging that he has nothing to worry about. I suspect he is in for a very rough time with the Commonwealth Attorney's Office.

I thought it was going to be done in May? What happened courthouse, let's just wait for you to be wrong again so you can keep stirring up this thread.

As you may not know there is a Supreme Court decision from a few months back that requires these lab technicians to now appear in court, so they spend their time waiting to testify rather than coducting tests. Also, the tests are very sophisticated and take time--let's face it, Mr. VMI has put his story out there and it will be very important to see if the tests support his version. Finally, the lab moved a few months ago, and between that and budget issues, things just take longer than people would like.

yeah...baby!!!!! THE HAMMER IS COMING DOWN SOON-Thanks for the update

Anyone know how the kids are doing? I think one was a senior in college and the twins were sophomores or freshmen. Heard/seen anything?

Seen a PBW parked down the street from SOC past few days.

Mr. VMI has been home an awful lot lately; do not know what the deal is with his job. He looks pretty gaunt

Any news on the investigation or whether or not Mr. VMI will be brought to the Grand Jury this month? Makes me a little nervous that he has never spent a night in jail and a wonderful woman and neighbor is dead. 8 months seems like a long time to wait. Does that mean there is not enough evidence? Where is the Commonwealths Attorney in all this?

Here is a link with the phone number and contact info for the Commonwealth Attorney for Fairfax County. Please pose your questions to that office and get back to us with the answer.

http://www.fairfaxva.gov/electedofficials/commonwealth_%20attorney.asp

As I am sure pgens knows, the Commonwealth's Attorney cannot comment on a pending investigation. That changes if an someone is charged or indicted. According to sources, stay tuned.

As I'm sure foxnews knows, my point was there is no new info to be gained here when official sources are tight-lipped. Calling the tight-lipped source however is much more useful than posting questions on some Internet forum.

And by the way, "stay tuned" has been the mantra for a very long time now.

Anything new that anyone knows?

The police investigation is finally over. The Grand Jury meets on Nov 16. Mr. VMI is about to get his.

Grand jury meets tomorrow, anybody know if it is going to be presented?

erroneous.

Checked on the Grand Jury docket (703) 691-7320......his name doesn't show at this time but they said to call back after 2pm.

Well tried calling and they said the list has not been updated, to call tomorrow....we shall see one way or the other for now.

Yesterday would have been Margie's 59th birthday. It was a sad day for her sister.

Re: Mr. VMI

Yes, the investigation is over and there has been a meeting but no determination has been made regarding how they are going to handle him. We should hear within the next two months-info is from family.

Unfortunately, when you have $$$$$$ this plays a part in the end result.

Take a look at the Memorial in yesterday's Post. I am sure Mr. VMI did not write it.

courthouse watcher is an idiot. everything you have posted to date has been wrong.

Yup, all wrong. Just goes to show that the best thing to do is periodically call.

Yeah that and not seeking info. on a blog that is full inaccuracies.

of

What blog? Someone has this topic on a blog?

Apparently no indictment again this month...UNBELIEVABLE...Here is the link to the Memorial in the Post on her birthday.

Anyone know who YPB is?

Hold good thoughts for Margie's children, sister, parents and other friends and realtives as they begin what will clearly be a very difficult Holiday Season without her.

Anyone have any update on the investigation?

See post dated November 17, 2009 07:54PM. Info you get here will not be right until someone makes a lucky guess.

Case has been assigned to a very experienced prosecutor, who has a number of murder convictions>

no it hasnt.

Anyone know what is going on?

nnn

Is this still being investigated......does anyone know or do we think it will go unsolved? My heart goes out to her family at this holiday season. I always received a card from Margaret at Christmas time with a family portrait. RIP Margie

Most of the investigation is done, they are tying up some loose ends. The case has been assigned to two very experienced prosecutors who have tried and won a number of murder cases. It has been established that Mr. VMI was the owner of the gun and that he had plenty of motive. She was getting ready to move out at the time she was murdered.

incorrect @ foxnews

cnn--what is the source of your information?

It has been almost a year. The delay in handling this investigation is an affront to Margaret and her family as well as the citizens of Fairfax County. What in the world is Ray Morrough, the Commonwealth's Attorney, doing with this case?. He will not prosecute cops who shoot unarmed citizens; lets hope he gets off the dime on this one soon. She was unarmed, half the size of her husband and leaving the marriage; oh and btw, it was his gun. What more is needed?

I am sure if they had an open-and-shut case they would have proceeded by now, maybe you should have gotten into law enforcement since it is so friggin easy.

Actually, I spent several years as a prosecutor, and know that cases are only open and shut on TV. There is one witness here, Mr. VMI, who had motive, means and opportunity, so open and shut is not realistic.

I do not know what he says happened, but suspect the forensics do not support his version and that a good prosecutor could poke many holes in it.

As I said, it is all so easy. Maybe you can volunteer to help them through all this obvious stuff. Maybe that is the "what more" that is needed.

Mr. VMI is crusing around in his new BMW convertible--does not seem to be too concerned about anything.

Hey Laker why don't you move on, and become concerned with something important like Polar Bears, Global Warming, Immigration and Cap and Trade.

any recent news as to what is happening on the investigation regarding Margaret's death.

Yes, he has gotten away with the murder (Grand Jury returned a No True Bill) and now has a 20 yr. old stunner as a girlfriend.

Not true. Case has STILL not gone to the Grand Jury. That woman he is with is no 20 year old!!!!

Dog Walker.....what is the news in the neighborhood as to when it may go to Grand Jury?

You missed out, according to the neighbors with "insider knowledge" this all happened in April/May last year. Go back and read their posts if you don't believe me.

Rumor around the law enforcemeent folks is that the first ballistics do not support the husband's version and that the rest of the lab results will be in very soon. Expect things to begin to happen.

Hear from my sources that the results should be done by mid to late May and the early read on them is they will establish that the husband "introduced the gun" that morning.

How does Mr. VMI feel today.....





G U I L T Y !! !! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Perhaps

What a beautiful tribute to Margaret in todays Washington Post.....

"Your absence will always define our days just as the VIOLENCE that ended your life will forever haunt us. WE find comfort in our belief that GOD STOOD WITNESS that day and KNOWS THE TRUTH."

RIP

11/16/50- 2/16/09

My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand

Looking through obits today, and came across Margaret Teague's picture. Loved her haircut, and thought I would cut out to show my hairdresser, decided to read tribute, was intriqued, and found this forum. My instinct tells me this is not going to be solved, as so many murders in this world do not. My sympathy to her family, and I hope justice will be done.

Any new news on the progress of this case?

word is that the case is over

Mr. VMI-----where are you??

You haven't posted anything recently.

Why don't YOU give us an update on the case.

I guess case over means just that!
Case over.

So does this mean that he got away with murder?

Police are still talking to folks--have no idea why it is taking so long. Understand Mr. VMI is unemployed again--now there's a shock!!!

gg

They ought to just charge the motherfucker even if they don't a good case. Force the bastard to spend his last dime on legal fees.

Most ex-military fucks are tighter than the bark on a tree, they are used to all the taxpayer freebies they soak up. Bankrupting him would be punishment. Maybe the only punishment that will suffer in this case.

Uhh, that's MY money you are trying to spend on prosecution there. If there is no case there is no case. That is a shame but don't spend MY money trying to get even with him or to make some point.

Why don't YOU take YOUR OWN money and hire a private investigator to dig up more evidence to give to the police?

Oh, so you pay ALL the taxes that are collected in Fairfax County? I don't think so.

I would welcome my tax dollars going towards seeing that this guy doesn't get off scot free.

No offense intended, but taking just your real estate taxes to pay for a prosecution would MAYBE cover a couple of day's work for a county prosecutor and his staff. Let's say you pay $8000 yearly in real estate taxes in that neighborhood. That's probably around forty hours of salaried professional services including benefits.

I like to see justice as much as anyone, but the reality is justice is expensive and I have to sadly agree that if there isn't evidence then it's throwing more money after that already spent in police and investigators questioning neighbors as has been noted previously in the thread. But financial issues totally aside (as people don't like to discuss that when a life has been lost), if there isn't enough evidence to get a grand jury indictment then a prosecutor can't proceed anyway.

If you really want to hit him in the pocketbook then find a partner in his family willing to bring a civil wrongful death suit and sponsor/subsidize their legal fees.

Can anyone tell me if this case with Don Teague has been resolved? We knew them several years ago. They have really nice children.

In a way it is resolved until it isn't... no charges = no trial. When there are charges, it will then be unresolved until a trial resolves it.

In 7th grade I played baseball with Kevin with Don as our coach. He was more of a disciplinarian than any of my coaches before (if we did something wrong, we had to run laps), but he never acted angry or even that disgruntled around us. I don't remember much about Mrs. Teague other than the fact that she showed up to a few games now and then. I still keep up with Kevin every now and then on Facebook and he has never really mentioned it other than both him and his twin sister changing their profile pictures to ones with their mom right around 1 year after her death. I can't imagine what they're going through, but the two of them are getting each other through it.

Anyone have any news? I hear the police have re-interviewed some people----This sure has been going on for a long time.

Very nice Memorial to Margie in The Post yesterday on her 60th birthday. Anyone have any idea what is going on here?

AFTER ALL THIS TIME....HAS ANYTHING BEEN OFFICIALLY RESOLVED IN THE MARGARET TEAGUE DEATH ???

Touching memorial for Margie today on the 3d anniversary of her murder. What is the hold up here?????? What is going on? Where is the Commonwealth"s Attorney in all of this?

Who does one contact to find out the status of this case?

Contact info is linked in the second post in the thread.

You might try contacting the detective in charge of the investigation. His name is Daniel Bibeault and can be reached via email: daniel.bibeault@fairfaxcounty.gov. The investigation remains open, but inactive at this time. Don Teague has not been cleared in this case. There is no statute of limitations on the charge of murder in the state of Virginia.

Sometimes it is a waiting game.

If the Commonwealth charges someone with a crime, the accused is entitled to a speedy trial under the Constitution. If the commonwealth does not have their ducks in a row, the Commonwealth risks going to trial and not getting a conviction. If they don't get a conviction, the accused cannot be charged with the same crime twice (Constitution again).

Because there is no statute of limitation on murder, it is sometimes better to wait and collect as much evidence as possible. If that evidence is still not enough to convict, it is sometimes better to keep waiting because there is a chance the suspect will do something (like inadvertently make an admission) that will lead to a conviction.

BUMPITY FUCKING BUMP!!!

colour me clueless - didnt even KNOW about it............i was thinking it was about the carwash dude who got killed (did they ever catch his killer? Man, for such a "nice" place, y'all sure do have A LOT OF UNSOLVED MURDERS going on LoLz)

more on this later, that's for sure......

Three years and no arrests? That's slow even by Fairfax County standards. Whatever happened to them opening fire on someone who comes to their door in a bathrobe and coffee cup? If they had done that with this guy, everyone would have been happy!

Mr. VMI and the family have moved out--big yard sale a little while ago. Looks like he is headed off--new girlfriend in tow--- to " a new life." Wonder if they told the buyers about the killing in the master bedroom????

Do the kids hate the dad?

I would.

Is this one over?

well I guy you CAN buy anything around here..................

Very nice memorial to Margie yesterday on what would have been her 62d birthday....such a senseless loss..Anyone know how the kids are doing?

Just returned to the area and am amazed that this never was presented to the grand jury? Does anyone have any idea why it was not? Just look at the relative size of the two people involved and all the problems the husband has had through the years would be enough for the GJ to take a serious look at this. The Commonwealth's Attorney ought to be called to task for not doing his job.

I have always wondered what happened with this. So the husband just got away with murdering his wife? Wonder where he is now.

Sad that very few people mention their support of the family. Gossip about mrs Teague sleeping with teenagers in the neighborhood; mr vmi deserves prison regardless of future court proceedings; bla bla.

If you knew what the family shared with me, you would not share this overall premature conviction. Some people are more troubled than you know. Some people are happy until something changes drastically. Nothing like this can be explained rationally, and without any knowledge it's ridiculous to speculate. Dog walker seems to have a lot of opinions. Wonder why she or he feels so entitled to speculate. The easiest answer is often the right answer. The emphasis being often. The exception should also be considered. Especially, given certain details and explanations from children... Not shared with people outside their family and closest friends. For margies legacy, it's probably best to say the exception is the rule and leave it at that. Great mother and friend. The police probably want a conviction - mo trial tells you everything you need to know. Also. Who said it was his gun? Leave it at that.

Love the teagues, so sorry to see this 4-5 years later as the first link that shows up. People that truly know the family haven't posted until now. RIP Margie, god bless your family.

Well now that you're "Re-opened" the door, why don't you put this mystery to rest (at last) and explain what happened? This way we can all have closure, move on, and learn what we can from this.

Guess you never heard that children are placed in a compromising position when one parent murders another. They need to cling to someone, even if it's the murderer. He's the one still talking and telling his "version" of the event. The other's voice is silenced. How convenient, don't you think?

The short version is Don Teague is a loser and a bully. His wife became increasingly troubled by his behavior and wanted out of the marriage. She was just weeks away from leaving him when he found out and murdered her.

Happens all too frequently. Just check the local headlines.

Anyone who seriously thinks Mrs. Teague was the one responsible for this horrible act of violence (let alone "sleeping with teens in the neighborhood!!!) has rocks where their brains should be and deserves to be pitied. You obviously know absolutely nothing!

Six years ago tomorrow that Margie was murdered. The pain her family and friends felt then continues to this day. She wwas a wonderful mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her legacy has been forever tarnished by the incompetence of the Commonwealth's Attorney's office, who did not have the guts to get Margie the justice she deserves. Instead Mr. VMI, IMHO, literally has gotten away with scot free.

You will always be loved and missed.

Then I think you need to be a little more educated before you make some disgusting comments like that.

Fairfax is a socialist country now.

Let's just arrest G2. Makes no difference if he did it. It's the will of the people that counts !

Margie sucked the best cock!
Better than Lewinsky!
Really drained me for days.....
