You people in Alexandria can now rest as Charles Severance is charged with murder!

http://www.wtop.com/41/3697533/Severance-charged-in-3-homicides

WASHINGTON - Alexandria police have charged a once-mayoral candidate with the deaths of three prominent city residents, whose homicides have gone unsolved.

Police issued a statement Monday saying Charles Severance is charged with murdering Ruthanne Lodato, Ron Kirby and Nancy Dunning.

Severance became the main focus of a police investigation after the death of Lodato in February. Investigators developed a sketch based on the bearded man who knocked on Lodato's door spurring a manhunt in Alexandria.

Ron Kirby, who was a transportation planner for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, was shot as his door in November 2013.

Nancy Dunning was the wife of then-Alexandria Sheriff James Dunning and was killed inside her home in 2003.

Severance was extradited from West Virginia to Loudoun County where he was indicted on a weapons charge earlier this year. He remains in the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center.

Once a resident of Alexandria, Severance twice was a fringe candidate for mayor.

Police say Severance faces charges of first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with Dunning's death.

He is charged wtih capital murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a felon in connection with Kirby's deah.

And he is charged with capital murder, two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a felon and malicious wounding for killing Lodato and for shooting and injuring another woman who was in the home at the time.

Capital murder charges can qualify for the death penalty. But prosecutors said Monday they will not seek the death penalty in the killings, according to the Associated Press.

This reminded me of the Sniper back in 2002. Never knowing what was going to happen next. Once the piano teacher was killed, I really was reluctant opening the door when the bell rang.

My wife and I are convinced that Charles Severence came to our door on the Sunday morning before the 3rd shooting. Somebody knocked on the door and the dog started barking. I normally never answer the door because anybody I know will call me first, so it is probably just salesmen. However, the front door was open a few inches (glass door was shut, heard it pulled open to knock). My wife and I walked downstairs and without even opening the door just pushed it the rest of the way shut and went back upstairs. The dog kept barking and ran outside using his dog door and wouldn't shut up. We were wondering why he was still barking so we looked outside the bedroom window and saw a bearded, somewhat older, slim framed, gray haired man standing on our doorstep with a backpack. At the time we had no idea who Charles Severence was and the thought of danger really wasn't on our mind at all. However, we both immediately felt that something just 'didn't feel right' about this guy just standing there. He had no uniform, didn't look like a salesman, and he just kept standing there even though we shut the door...for a very long time. At one point he stepped back from the door and started looking up into our windows and briefly made eye contact with my wife. Eventually he got into some sort of car and left. We both thought it was really really weird, but it wasn't until the next week when the last murder happened and a sketch was put on the news that we both looked at each other immediately and went "that REALLY looks like him". The third murder happened about the same time of day as this man came to our house too. Now we are nobody that he would theoretically have a problem with. We have only lived in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria for 2 years at this point. But the people that lived there before us were very politically active. The husband was a Virginia state senator and the wife worked on political campaigns, which is more in line with the type of person he seemed to be going after. While I will never be 100% sure, it seems quite possible that my anti-social behaviour kept me from being shot in the face in my own doorway. Honestly I wish there was some sort of way I could ask Charles Severence if he was in fact at my house.

Shame he isn't Black, as I could start some protests and riots and make some $$$. Maybe even get Obama to send Eric Holder to investigate the Alexandria police to see how we could make them look bad and make the perp look like an innocent angel.

I am calling a press conference to announce that I played a big role in bringing Severance to justice

If true, you should contact the police with this info.

Jesus H. Christ. I'm sorry he missed you. Whiney yuppie. Grab a 15 minute claim to fame.

This guy reminds me a bit of Dan White, who shot Mayore Moscone and Suprevisor Milk in San Francisco. Unlike Severance, White actually was elected.

15 minutes on the radio. 2 minutes of the facts. 13 minutes of breaking his fucking arms off patting himself and all other police on the back ..

For Christ's Sake.. No one else does a good job at what they do??

It took 11 years to bring this case to an arrest ??? And 2 more people died during that time!..

Yes it can take time but give us the facts and stop the self serving PR bullshit praiseing the FBI, State Police yourself ..you name it.... Your Raise...DENIED!

Enough BS Hero Worship! Do your jobs .. dammn It you get paid plenty well for it..

The fact is that these three people all have some things in common and they were all assassinated by a hit man.

These hits were an inside job government related and probably carried out by the CIA.

Arresting and charging Severance is just part of the cover up to close the case especially because the murder of Kirby is fairly high profile and since the police in general are not part of the conspiracy the CIA wants to cleanse the case of top notch investigators.

I said the police are not part of the cover up, but the Chief may very well be taking orders from someone who is.

Severance will be convicted on very suspect circumstantial evidence. I've followed the case very closely and nothing rises to the level of charges on Severance.

I sent them an email with a very detailed account after it became clear he was the suspect. Never heard back from them.

I couldn't believe this when I heard the news. I hope they have enough evidence to convict this bastard!

i think those political people in alex know things they are not saying: like motive for the crime

what was the motive?

the head of transportation? i could easily claim they were deep in schemes stealing from the public and enabling illegals, owed the man money and refused to pay. as a LIKELY motive.

however, no motive has been stated, and NO NEW EVIDENCE was given above

it's a grand statement that they are panning for people/jury who will convict - but contains less than they already release

the problem with that is some dishonest prosecutors working for corrupt cities covering up mob activity will do exactly as i said

that's one of many reasons firm evidence, and motive, are necessary, beyond a doubt

"the fall guy"

they are taking their sweet time investigating. is there a lack of evidence maybe ?

maybe their asian microscopes were on back order?

or are they just billing the crap out of it, as usual?

He had connections to all of them. Kirby himself, the music teacher’s father was a judge, and he was familiar with Sheriff Dunn, Nancy Dunn was the sheriff’s wife. Not sure of the motive, maybe they impeded him when he was running for office some years ago and took it personally.

Big Bad Bear, I think I know your house. The previous occupant was a state delegate and his wife ran a political strategy firm, right? I've been there many times. I will remind a few people that they really should look into your report. It would not surprise me at all if the previous occupants were on Severance's list.

was aquainted to all three isn't motive

do you mean they stole from him? it was push and shove gov, union gov, stealing in a scam arlington is trying to keep quiet? or was it just foreigners shooting white people and covering their tracks with an easy false arrest? tell me!

--------------------
i heard they obtained a weapon from one article. have not heard about it since though

unsure why they are running ADS insisting there's a charge when they already said there was - unless they are fishing for jury or something

if they've been holding him in prison he must have already been charged and there must already be strong evidence

because otherwise they were abrogating mandates upon judges

can hold a person a year just because you think there will be charges - nope - not even for murder

Charles Severance, 53, has been held in jail since March, when he was busted in Wheeling, W.Va

apparently he's been held. on what overwhelming evidence he's a threat and did it (you need that, strongly, to hold BEFORE conviction)
Attachments:

remember this photo? i argued it seemed rediculous that he'd not turn himself in through lawyer and be found at a russian embassy wearing really wierd clothes he'd be unlikely to have access to especially on the run?

as if russians want a poor polititian from USA who's being sought by police

they have plenty of their own to deal with!

------------------
photo i saw: absolutely fake / doctored
Attachments:

the gun charges were from many years ago. i think from weapons he bought from eesh or his ex wife.

i can't find anything on evidence used to indict

after all: you can't indict someoen for murder without sufficient evidence, that itself is illegal

also ususally (in past, w/o cheating judges and lawyers) tthey wouldn't indict early. becuase indicting meant a trial, and failing trial meant walking free - and letting someone guilty walk free the lawyers might be accused of getting paybacks or doing so intentinally

trial are in the public esp murder trials. so there should be ZERO evidence used for indictement that we do not know of, that was not released - and it should be SUFFICIENT to show cause they might win and to hold severance

otherwise it is just crooked gov workers as usual, that is

Police said evidence indicated similarities in the weapon used in each of the killings.

??? similar. wtf are you kidding? same or not? tied to him or not !!

“Expert witness, principal investigator, mentaldisorder.com.”

yea i'll go there for evidence. idiot.

hard to find anything legal there are so many NEWS articles and they always miss the fucking point accuse. after all: they are police friends, get allot of gov money, that bunch

Severance’s girlfriend has testified that he encouraged her to purchase two .22-caliber guns and showed her how to use them.

---------------------
if you live in WV among bob-cats and bears and dont' have protection: your an idiot

Cook said there was no particular clue that led to the charges but rather “continuous” evidence collection

-WASH POST

------------------------
DELAYING TO SHOW ME ANY EVIDENcE by saying your continuing to find it, is not showing evidence at all to indict and hold someone on murder charges

what is the evidence? other than that according to polititians he had motive to hate them - but that they won't say what the motive is

-------------
i don't doubt he did it so much as i doubt the coverage and courts

i can say: i certainly wouldn't convict him on arlington political clout. i'm trying to convict them for fraud as it is!

was ladout the one who wanted $10,000,000,000 for musical instruments contract purchases? Or is that totally unrelated?

when i was in school there were old donated instruments (probably still there) and kids bought instruments, parents were kinda required to. kids didn't like the "class" because it was in place of gym, however it was required

let's not get ahead of ourselves needing motive. they still never proved burr made land for power deals with the spanish. no hurry!
Attachments:

now the problem there wasn't business. it was there was a war on usa didn't even have the resources to fight with at the time

james bowie was one of the few that answered the call and not for allot of gold but to protect texan farmers yellin for help from an invading, armed and suited, military

meanwhile burr was back in DC doing WHAT ??

Jim Bowie died in the defense of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. Learn more at Biography.com.

WIKIPEDIA (edit by gov workers, likely illegals in the usa)

The 1824 Constitution of Mexico banned religions other than Roman Catholicism and gave preference to Mexican citizens in receiving land.[46] Bowie was baptized into the Roman Catholic faith in San Antonio on April 28, 1828, sponsored by the alcalde (chief administrator) of the town, Juan Martin de Veramendi, and the wife of the administrator, Josefa Navarro.

Bowie's fluency in Spanish helped him establish himself in the area
Attachments:

After hearing that the Mexican army commander in Nacogdoches, José de las Piedras, had demanded that all residents in his area surrender their arms, Bowie cut short a visit to Natchez in July 1832 to return to Texas

------------------------
i thought you said they were friends !

The following year, the Mexican government passed new laws allowing land sale in Texas

------------------------
i bet - and the U.S. Congress had ALREADY done the same - on that same piece of land

someone said "Remeber the Alamo"

i thought they were friends?

When Bowie's mother was informed of his death, she calmly stated, "I'll wager no wounds were found in his back."

the wikipedia article makes it sound like

1) the mexicans had large populated advanced cities in Texas and were firmly under control, and bowie and austin were townspeople. my history book says it was a hardly settled area and the control was ON PAPER ONLY in spain

2) bowie befriended mexicans, recieved many gifts from mexicans, had only loose ties with Austin (also who received gifts from mexicans and ties) and betrayed the country he swore to protect

or was it the other way around and someone is wishing history didn't read the way it did - and wiki'ed their own version ?

--------------------------
So did severance have motive ? Tell me i'm listening.

(noting england frensh spanish wars just preceeding / really still ongoing. USA also had claims on the land in DC, and the french maybe in paris - you know louisiana is close to texas !)

the idea of a large advance peaceful spanish settlement with a gov in the area that texan farmers, who had much benefitted from gov loans (see the wiki article), attacked - simply never was material

prove it

frontiersman davy crocket, militiaman, after becoming a congressman and opposing andrew jackson's firm policies on removing indians attacking white settlements, soon traveled to texas to fight at the Alamo hearing the cries from texans and angry no one in washington wish to render aid

amazing story there: he went mostly for patriotism and to ride against van buren, a liberal president who would make deals with the spanish, no one made him go - but the Texas gov (recognized by the USA gov) had promised 4,600 land as payment (note land was pretty open back then - and it was far from his family)

In August 1837, Van Buren denied Texas' formal request to join the United States, again prioritizing sectional harmony over territorial expansion.

Ashburn's Charles Severance indicted

(sept 8, 2014)

police believe ballistics match all three but do not have a weapon

In their statement prosecutors said they would not comment on evidence in the case or on their decision to waive the death penalty.

-------------------
huh? run that by me again? waived death penalty and won't state motive?

well you know by these standards, all investigations are ongoing until after a perp is in prison (has no voice or public contact)

so by that standard - police never have to say if they have evidence until after a conviction - and after: no one will know if they lied - there will be no one with a voice to protest

"active ongoing investigation: can't tell you if we have evidence"

half of the crime, death, missing money, injury, and etc articles in our area say:

"a man" "a woman"

never even dropping a name so we know if the thing ever happened. we just hear more money is gone and someone is missing but not who or where.

it gets rediculous

swww.dailymail.co.uk/.../Charles-Severance-53-year-old-Civil-War-eccentric-Alexandria-mayor-wannabe-indicted-three-murders-spread-fear-Virginia

spread fear? probably not as much as the black duo shooting random people for (?was it weeks?)

spread fear? probably not as much as the black shooting up the navy yard

spread fear? probably not as much as the population and finances reversing just in one political regime (sharon bullova gov), or that crime when from near 0 to "lock it and keep it under survelyance they are after you, they'll steal it"

spread fear? probably not as much as denizes realizing they can't trust a word of news or gov

No motive ? I please ask this:

1) killed the wife of a local sheriff
2) major traffic boss (very much a political insider)
3) some gov worker? music?

But never got mad at or killed anyone in West Virginia where he'd see more news and crime, be cheated by police or business, and reasons to kill? Nor his ex? Just people in ARL not WVA, not VA? Why just ARL over 11 yr? Not after his politics, not all during a few weeks. Only in ARL and over 11 yr?
