Follow up to vigil and “Justice for Jared” and Unsolved Mystery Death in Goodyear, Arizona

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

Many of my readers might recall a story I wrote here with regard to Shay Pendleton, an Arizona mother who continues to grieve over the unsolved mystery and the death of her son in Goodyear, Arizona.  The case has not been solved, and the issue didn’t even go through the Silent Witness program. This is an unsolved mystery with regard to the Goodyear Police Department.  You can hear Shay’s story here via the Lou Show.

Several supporters stood by this grieving mother’s side at last night’s vigil while the Goodyear City council was having a meeting at the Goodyear City Hall. Two notable individuals who stood beside the grieving mother were Terri Hall Woodmansee and John Rowan.

According to the Lou Show,

“This story ties in with John Rowan, who ran in the Democratic Primary for Maricopa County Sheriff Office last year. Rowan refused to cover up the Goodyear Police Department’s botched murder investigation. Rowan was deemed “unviable” as a candidate in the eyes of the county democratic party, and this assessment was incorrect. Unfortunately, this assessment was enough to sway democrats towards Paul Penzone when Rowan was the better, more qualified, candidate. So you see, the Goodyear Police Department, in relation to this case, has caused quite a bit of damage.”

More importantly, both Wally Campbell and Joe Pizillo are two city council members that should probably be elected OUT of office come February since it appears they have not been supportive to solving this unsolved mystery.

Channel 5 of Arizona has an exclusive interview with Terri Woodmansee and John Rowan — supporters of this grieving mother. We are thankful she received light and love from several other supporters, too.

The goal to shedding light on this story has much to do with getting this unsolved mystery death solved, and we hope to see swift justice given to this grieving mother. We will keep an eye on the Goodyear City Council elections coming up this February.
