I have just received word from one of the neighbors on Melson Road that Mr. & Mrs. Wells, (owner of the property Sarah Foxwell's body was found on) are destroying ALL of the flowers, balloons, teddy bears/stuffed animals, notes, etc. He has been seen releasing balloons and taking away all the flower arrangements and we're told he has a cardboard sign telling people not to leave anything there.
Sheriff Lewis and his Family went there and left a beautiful arrangement and that too has been removed and destroyed. That being said, please do not leave any more items there as the Grinch is truly showing his colors.
We'll work on finding another location for all to drop such said items off at. Mr. & Mrs. Wells, SHAME ON YOU!
UPDATE: How about the Shorebirds Stadium???????

what jerks Pretty sure he is also a salisbury city employee public works dept.
How cruel!
Mr & Mrs Wells ditto on SHAME ON YOU!!!
Sarah, we'll find another place to honor your memory. xoxoxo
There names are Ron and Becky Wells and I am not surprised by this post. I am truly horrified at this display of pure ignorence. At this time this is the only place our community has to grieve and pay their respects. SHAME ON THEM!
That's horrible!!! Not concerned enough to check your property. But concerned with a make shift memorial where her helpless little body was found? Not shame Joe
DISGRACE ON YOU
This is as terrible for the Well's to be doing this to little Sarah's last spot where she may have been alive.
They must be related to the Legg's family!
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the Wells' armpits...shame on them.......
MR. Wells put a front tag on your jeep U piece of dung it is the law. Evil attracts evil. Wonder just what this Wells guy was to this CHILD MOLESTER ???????????
I mean the victim was there for days and he did not see her ??
On the other hand, who wants their property permanently decreed a mourning site when you had nothing to do with it? This roadside memorial trend is not old enough to be considered a tradition. What if they determine he killed her in the truck? Does this make it a sacred spot as well? Or is it only where they find the body? Leave the innocent property owner alone in this. Although they could have waited a couple of weeks maybe...
If he wants to destroy somthing it should be the abandon stuctures on the property that sarah was left in and where other victoms were taken too...
WTF?
If she would have been on my property I HOPE I would be more understanding. THis is part of the grieving process. I also view it as support for the family that owns the property where she was found.
Hey, wait a sec...is there some connection these property owners had to the child?
Are you kidding me?? Maybe they should rot in hell with the monster that did this to her.
Joe do you think maybe the school where they held the Vigil? The Well's may know something..who knows..to me there are nasty animals too..God Bless you Sarah!!!!
Unbelievable! I can understand if he didn't want the items on his property he has the right. But all he had do was advise some one of that Like you JOE and we could have found another location but to destroy the items left. That is completely heartless. UGH!
Wow. I'm speechless.
I would like to see the school there allow us to do something or even at the Stadium. That is where alot of the people from the community went.
5:10 #2, My parents live on Queen Ave. in Salisbury. Two people have committed suicide at the end of the block in the last two years. That property owner left the items up for over a year. It is a sense of closure for the family and community in this case. To destroy these things is just evil.
While it is their property, they could have maybe waited until after the holidays.
Maybe these people don't want to be reminded of the tragedy every time they walk out their freaking door. Get a life people.
I don't blame them! I wouldn't want all that stuff piled up on my property so a slow parade of people can drive by and gawk at a crime scene. It is bad enough that people find it neccessary to place that kind of stuff at every highway fatality in the nation.
Those flowers and trinkets don't belong where the person died, tghey belong where the person is layed to rest!
Makes me think he knows this guy Leggs. Let him use the property to hunt, sounds like a guilty conscious to me. Maybe the Sheriff will have more charges or more people to look at. I mean really how would you not know someone was doing something like that on the property.
Pretty sad, I mean could have waited a month.
I guess each deal with things in a different manner than others.
That is just freaking crazy...Mr and Mrs Wells you are truly assholes...
Joe, we can we put stuff at now..please let us know.
Easy for those that don't have to look at this make-shift memorial every day to condemn these people. Those that think these people are simply being mean-spirited, why don't you make color copies of Sarah's photo and tape them to every mirror in your house, as well as on the refrigerator so you can be constantly reminded. Some folks have the intellect and maturity level of a snail.
The Well's can do what they want it will never erase what evil happened there. It will forever be marked in our communitys history.
The shorebirds stadium is where we united as a community to help locate this little girl an i am sure it wouldnt be a problem i am going to drop of flowers an a eternal candle now....
You all are inconsiderate. You really think these people want to come home to a shrine in their driveway everyday?save the memorials for the funeral.
As someone mentioned above, the civil thing to do would have been to call the sheriff's office and tell them their opposition to having the memorial on the property, not destroy it themselves.
Either there is some connection to the suspect, Leggs or these people are just trashy themselves if in fact this is true.
I get it, I gotta say, I wouldn't want it there either. Eerie, I don't know why the bastard left her there, but perhaps the Wells have Grandchildren who come over and would want to go over and see the stuffed animals, etc, I don't know. Just saying. I've never been a fan of the memorials at roadsides, etc. But as for Leggs, may he meet the worst possible fate. So sorry Sarah, so many failed to protect you. Joe, to you, once again, outstanding coverage, much appreciated.
After days of police collecting evidence, knowing this child was possibly killed on their property, knowing she was left there would rip at my heart for the rest of my life. Having to come out and see mounds of flowers and other items left would make it that much harder. I can't say I blame the property owners. I also can't say I blame those wanting to have a place to grieve.
Why not at her home where she was abducted?
Why not put them at her school...Wi Middle?
The Wells' dont even live on that particular property.
First, it's called littering. Where do you think all these "mementos" are going to go?
Second, where do you get off calling anyone a Grinch? You're the reason the Salvation Army got kicked out of half the places this year becuase your stupidity and antics, always trying to promote yourself, but nobody else.
Finally, I'm not against mourning, but why should I be reminded of a tragedy that happened to occur on my property? Did any of you think to ask permission? I would think her school or the stadium would be a better place. So those of you cursing me, come see me and say it to my face. It's too easy for spineless cowards to post something anonymously on some halfwit's blog.
All points seem valid, but the way the Well's are handling this is truly terrible.
I feel this way, Something dont sound right here how can you do something like this to someone and think no one would want to put up flowers and teddy bears and all but I agree with the others something dont sound right here, Maybe they really need to look into this cause soemthing really sounds fishy, I guess this is a place he use to take these young girls how could you not know someoen was on your land. This has really left me speachless and I think maybe we should have something at the shorebirds, I am also aware they are having a candle light get together at the park the 2nd i think it is at 6pm. Joe may god bless you and everyone nelse who has been there and helping with this search. RIP Sara you are loved by so many.
putting anything on the property without consent is trespassing. the owner have every right to do what they did, albeit, it could have been handled differently. Someone was possibly killed on their property and known at least placed there. they are grieving, too. I would not want to have to look at the memorial. The memorial should be at the service site and grave site.
First let me say that "Leggs" should not get a trial this time. He should just be tortured and killed himself! Second... As for the local government and courts , you all need to take a second look at yourselves having a multiple sex-offender running free and still molesting and killing little girls! It is utterly rediculous that this BASTARD "Leggs" was on the streets and not behind bars or in a grave. Lastly the property owners do have a right to have their privacy on their property but for Gods sake have some heart. These items left are left from the hearts of people who feel sympathy and cared for her and the family. They could have gone about it a different way if they really felt the need to have the items gone from their property. All involved are SICK in one way or another!!! R.I.P. Sarah Foxwell
They do have grandchild. They don't have abondoned structures. They cooperated with the search and were put out more than anyone the community not related to the victim. Amazing to me that anyone would condemn them. They also spoke with the sherrif about no shrine or people other than the victim's immediate family being on the property. Everybody has been deeply affected by this tragety. That doesn't give everyone the right to do what they feel is right on another mans private property. Shame on all of you that felt the sick need to see a crime scene for whatever reason.
wow- thats not even where they actually live, it's just their abandoned property. Maybe it shoulda been torn down and he wouldnt have had a place to hide her. Where were the Wells' when everyone was told to check their own properties??
Oh my God, how could they do that? OK, even if the reason is they couldn't bear the constant reminder that Sarah was found on their property, they could have done SOMETHING else, rather that DESTROY the flowers, balloons, teddy bears, etc. Destroying those things is HEARTLESS, and Mr. and Mrs. Wells should be ashamed of themselves for being so thoughtless.
It is wrong for the Wells to do that. It isn't a reminder of her being found there it is an outpouring of love and a sign of the unity the people had to honor her. If it were my property..for one she would have been located before it even happened because my dog would have tore Legg's a new one but besides that I would be touched by the amount of people showing compassion for a murdered child.
May the Well's both live miserable lives filled with heart wrenching turns for being such disgusting people.
The memorial was not even within sight of their home.
Sure, it is their property and they can remove whatever they want but it would have been decent to have waited until the community has greived a bit more.
Sarah's memorial should be at her home or where she is buried so her family can see how many people care! If u own a small lot you have no idea what it's like to search a forest! The Wells are parents/grandparents and good hearted, caring people! They are sick with grief from what happened to Sarah Foxwell. No one wants a constant reminder of what happened!
I agree with the wells decision even tho it is obviously not a popular one. It is their private property and there are two things to keep in mind here: 1- He posted a sign asking people to not leave things, people should have respected that, 2-If he had not of acted quickly and destroyed what was there, many more people would have left mounds of trinkets and I don't hear anyone volunteering to clean it up for him. Put the shoe on the other foot, how would you feel if you had to clean up mounds of junk that strangers dumped in your yard?
The polite thing would have been for the Wells' to notify via Salisbury News or any other media outlet, that they do not wish to have a memorial there. Then people could have picked up what they had left and moved it to another location. I think it was extremely rude and dishonorable to just get rid of all the memorials. Shame on them for not doing it the right way!
I wouldn't go dropping things off at Shorebirds without asking permission. They were kind enough to allow them to set up the command post and accomodate all the traffic. Don't just assume it will be ok.
While I don't agree with these "roadside memorials" these assholes could have handled it better.
If they didn't want people on their property they should have talked with police.
I don't see any harm on letting it go for a few weeks.........at least they aren't charging admission....
My father, Mr. Curtis, principal of Beaver Run, near where Sarah lived, is willing to use school grounds to place things if people wish- balloons, trinkets, etc.... Thanks!
YOU WILL BURN IN HELL ME &MRS WELLS.......HELL IS WAITING ON YA.....
I don't agree with littering and having these roadside memorial things. There is a reason why there are graveyards. And even they have rules...so get off his case! Mr. & Mrs. Wells have my sympathy too. I am so very sad for SArah and her family & classmates & everyone that knew her- but I don't get this roadside stuff. It's quite unneccessary! We can grieve without detroying what little earth we have left and without taking away what little rights the innocent still have. Please leave them at peace and pray. That's how you can do good. Going out there is just being too dag on nosey! If you care...do the right thing.
Hey Joe, what's your address? Maybe the Wells can dump the load at your drive instead. Please list your address since someone thought it okay to list theirs and their phone number (which you thought it was ok to publish).
Thanks Mr.Curtis for allowing people to place things at Beaver Run, and because you a man with a heart you are allowing this to be done there. Cheers to Mr. Curtis and to Beaver Run School....
Pay attnetion people-they had a sign that said DON'T LEAVE ITEMS OR THEY WILL BE REMOVED!!!! For God's sake leave these people alone. Trust that they are innocent people caught in a horrible situation otherwise Sheriff Lewis would have had charges against them too. It must be horrible for them to have the constant reminders that poor Sarah was there and they didn't know it. I can't imagine what they have to live with everyday. This is the fault to Tom Leggs - don't start a witch hunt now!!
I agree with the Wells. They had nothing to do with the fact that this sick guy killed the girl and left her on their property. Does it really have to turn into a 24 hours a day memorial though? It's private property and people should respect that.
Shame on the Wells family! This is complete and utter disrespect to her family, the sheriff who put flowers there, and those community members who felt the need to do something kind to honor her. Our community is grieving and mourning and this is a normal thing to want to do. If it was in front of his house I could understand that. But if it was in front of that gate on the dirt rd they showed in photos on 47's website, and they did not live there, what is the big deal? This just adds to the grief our community is feeling. I would not put flowers by her home as her family had previously expressed to the media they wanted their privacy. I would say either in front of Beaver Run Elementary or Wi Middle. I doubt Shorebirds would mind either. Mr. Billy Curtis is a very kind and compassionate man (Beaver Run's principal). Mr. Curtis was right at Zion Church at the command center that first night offering to go and open up the school so law enforcement could have access to a copier to make copies of her missing person folders. He knows the family well, has a daughter himself, and I am sure he would welcome it. Her family's home is right next door and they could look out their window and see people leaving items and feel touched by it rather than bothered by it hopefully.
Don't blame the property owner one bit. These professional mourners to get a life.
There is a registered sex offender Frank Wells who lives on New Hope Rd in Willards, MD. I wonder if there is any relation??
It's not that difficult to find Joe's address if you really want it. I am sure Joe would welcome memorials for this little girl. Even though people may not always agree with him, he does a lot of good for the community. And it is no big secret to where Sarah was found.
i agree with the last post joe,if it was ok to publish the well's address and phone number,then it should be ok to post yours too,yeah they could have gone about it differently but the bottom line is it is their property and they shouldn't be villified by some of the dimwits that you allow to post here.
The thing that blows my mind is that this story was all over the news with descriptions of everything and this cold hearted bastard never saw T.J.'s truck come up there? On top of that he couldnt take an hour of his time to go look on his property for this poor little innocent girl? T.J had alot of connections and was very resourceful in that area but this guy, Mr. Wells doesnt watch t.v. or have a radio or read a newspaper or anything i guess. I can understand not wanting all the memorial stuff on his property but to destroy it? Like somone already said all he had to do was be civil about the whole deal not just destroy everything. If it was him on someone else's property i bet it would be a totally different opinion on his family's end. For that yes, disgrace on you!
Everyone knows ron wells is an idiot...especially those that have worked with him... surprised he and his wife have been sober enough to know what is going on...
All of you condemning me and my family's decision to respect our privacy can kiss my ass. How about that? You don't think we are deeply affected by what this heinous monster did to a young one?
There's a sign outside the property saying our wishes. How sick of some of you to post my phone number. Funny thing, you put my information out there, but you're not man enough to put yours. Those of you saying I will go to hell, well, I thought only god judged us? But you seem to have taken it upon yourselves to do so. How Christian of you. And I bet you just got done celebrating a Christian holiday and acting all goody two shoes right?
The hell with you all.
The memorials do absolutely nothing for the deceased. It may make some feel better about themselfs, but the well's family has every right to remove the stuff if they don't want it on their property. It's really inconsiderate to place something on someones property without asking their permission first. The state doesn't allow it along the road side so why should property owners. This kind of stuff just gets out of hand.
Are the Wells truly private people or people with something to hide? Just makes you wonder?
Joe is WONDERFUL for our community - although a blog, one of the most reliable news sources around....rather pathetic with a local newspaper and two local tv stations in town......lol
I agree with Mr and Mrs. Wells, it is there property and the Well's are good hard working people. Nobody has ever offered to clean up any of the three accident sites that have become memorial sites on my property but me. The county and state won't touch the stuff and the families who put the junk there never come back to clean it up.
The Wells asked people not to do this as the landowner his wishes should be respected.
While I would never have an issue for such, I'd rather have the location convenient for everyone else.
Mind you, on our property there is a similar memorial that has been there for 6 years now and we have never once complained. It's on the corner of Rt 54 and Spring Hill Road. If everyone would like to travel there and place their items there, we're cool with that. However, we're 10 miles away from that location. I think the School is an excellent location, convenient to just about everyone.
Mr. Wells, (and may I use that term very lightly) 410-430-5349. Joe Albero
I have been to the property (which is not where the Wells' reside) and it is nothing but a run-down, anbandoned house. The Wells are part of the reason the property values are going down. There are not hundreds of cars driving slowly in front of their house, BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIVE THERE! The sign was not posted until AFTER there were several pieces of memory there. Also, if leaving some flowers would have been such a bad thing, then why did the Sheriff do it? This is a guy that everyone has been cheering on and supporting for the past week, so now he's a criminal for "trespassing" or "littering" by leaving some flowers?? The Wells (in my opinion) went WAY overboard in this matter and Ron Wells... I DO have a spine and I WILL tell you to your face that you have DISGRACED this community! I promise you that!
MG
There is a shrine for the poor Pirkle girl on Stage and Williams Mill pond. It isn't where she really died. The rain ruins most of the decorations. It is a sad reminder and I'm tired of looking at it now. There should be a more respectable way.
Citizen with a heart......Why would you be that inconsiderate to wanna address this guy at the funeral? This saturday is gonna be hard for alot of people, friends, family, and im sure hundreds of people coming to pay their respects and bid farewell to poor sarah and you wanna start something there? that make you an ass just as much as you say he is. No, i dont agree with ruining the stuff, not one bit, but don't be an ass.
A small handful want to bust on you Joe for posting the address of the Wells but hell any 3rd grader could get on the internet and search the address....as far as that same small handful saying you should post yours MAYBE YOU SHOULD - we, the citizens and blog readers of your site, should be dousing you with thank you cards for the often thankless and unappreciated job you do. You take a lot of heat because some people can't handle the truth. Well for those of you that pertains to - IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH, Don't read this blog. Wait for the Daily Times, BOC, or 47 to report the bare minimum detail t o m o r r o w.
Joe - keep up the great work. Mr. and Mrs. Wells, I pray you learn to become a little more passionate; Mr. Leggs, I pray you are tormented for the rest of your time here on earth (and afterwards); I pray the Sarah's family members find comfort and peace; I pray the many, many volunteers over the past four days have had time to relax and enjoy their families for Christmas these past two days; and I pray that the Delmarva community REMAIN close-knit as they have been this week.
I am from Delmar. I do not know the Well's but they cannot be a member of what we call the Delmar family. People who grew up here would never think of removing these items. Yes I know it your property and yes I know it is very upsetting that Sarah was found there but we as adults have to do certain things in our life that we may not want to do.
You are too funny Joe - I guess he (Wicked Wells) didn't think you were man enough to respond..........................................................................of course, we all knew better.
The fact that you have a memorial still there after six years (and Mr. Wells couldn't let one exist for 48 hours) says ALOT about your integrity and character. Thank you for being you.
We are not professionals mourners!! Leaving balloons, bears, exc. are a way to honor Sarah where she was last alive. Why would we leave stuff at the school or at the stadium... she didnt die there. My daughter gave up several of her christmas gifts to put out there for her and I myself spent alot of money on balloons. People are spending money they dont really have to put stuff out there for her so please dont throw it away. If you are worried about who will clean it up, I will volunteer myself... at least let it sit out there until after the first of the year. I pray nothing like this ever happens to you and your family and someone wouldnt let you put things out as a memorial. Yes it happened on your property and thats not your fault... i get that, but for gods sake let the stuff stay out until the first of the year... after that we can put stuff on her grave. this is a tragedy and people just need closure... have a heart...
WOW, everyone knows that a crime was committed and how in the world Mr. & Mrs. Wells did not find Sarah amazes me. She was not that far off of the main road and the minute they knew police were concentrating on that area they should have been looking. Apparently you weren't too concerned about your property considering Sarah layed there for three days, why in the hell would you be so concerned over it now?????????????????? Roadside memorials are nothing new, I know when I ride by one I always say a prayer for the victim whether I knew them or not. Have a heart Mr. Wells, you have dishonored this young girl and all of those who took their time and money to honor her. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don't throw the stuff away mr. wells... thats very disrespectful... have someone take the stuff to beaver run... thats the christian thing to do... god bless.
Mr. Wells
If you would allow your property to become a temporary memorial site until Sarah is buried, I will promise you I will make sure all items are removed the day after. If this is acceptable please respond. Your kindness would be appreciated. Again, everything would be removed the day after Sarah's funeral. If there is any damage to your property because of the memorial, I will haul dirt or stone to repair it. Please take this opportunity to show everyone you are not the person who you have come across as being. This is a genuine offer, please consider it.
We are so enraged at the killing of Sarah Foxwell that we are willing to lash out at anyone. That is a normal reaction. The Wellses have become the latest target. Because of their actions, some of you are even accusing them of perhaps being cohorts of Thomas Leggs.
On the surface it may appear that the Wellses are brutally heartless. However, the more I thought about it, I wondered what I would do if potentially hundreds of mementos--flowers, stuffed animals, you name it--had been deposited on my property. Who would have to clean up the stuff? How many rubberneckers would drive by slowly and gawk at my house?
As several writers have observed, the proper place for flowers would be at her funeral, not where her body was found. Accuse me of being heartless, but what function does leaving a teddy bear or other sort of toy serve?
Before casting aspersions at the Wells family, one ought to think of all of the ramifications.
I cannot understand why the Wells, who knew they owned property near the search area neglicted to search there own property. Instead they chose to sit on there self-absorbed asses and do nothing. Even after Sheriff Mike Lewis publicly announced for all of the community to please search there property and Joe posted it on here as well. The Wells failed our community, and most off they failed Sarah right from the start. (Especially if they had previouly given Leggs permission to hunt the property then searching should of deffinetly been a top priority) If the Wells acted as "normal concerned citizens" like most of us did they would of searched there property as there public duy as commanded by there Sheriff. In doing so Sarah would of been found much earlier. (Which would of saved tax payers $ and allowed those of us who volunteered to search to be home with our famlies) That being said MR. WELLS WHY DIDN'T YOU SEARCH YOUR PROPERTY?????????? IS IT B/C YOUR LACK OF RESPECT FOR LIFE? CHILDREN? THE LAW? YOUR COMMUNITY?
So with that being said the Bastards, Mr & Mrs. Wells it doesn't suprise me that they are letting balloons go and destroying flowers left on there property. Because to them its a not so much a "Memorial to Sarah" but a "Public Reminder" that- Yes this is the property where Little Sarah was found and these are the property owners who were to lazy and uncaring to search.
Mr. and Mrs. Wells have devoted more time to removing the Memory of Sarah from there property than they actually spent looking for our little Angel when she needed them the most.
I think every property owner has a right as to what they want on there own property. However, how a coward chooses to handle it is what shows the true person inside.
As a comunity I ask you to think how you would feel as most of us have over the last few days, like Sarah was our own. She could of been laying there shivvering, freezing, hurt and unable to walk for help and The Wells could of, in that situation, been hero's for going to search there own property. However, they didn't look, they didn't search as a matter of fact they didn't even care. Now it's our job to not care for them. Shone them. Ignore them. Sprad the word so everone knows what type of people they are.
Rest in Peace little Sarah. You are one strong little girl who made almost a whole community come together in a magical way. You will always be remembered in all of our hearts.
7:37, Ron Wells . . .since you obviously can't figure things out yourself even after you've read it umpteen times, I'll be happy to answer your question: NO, many of us here DON'T think you are deeply affected by what this heinous monster did to a young one.
Also, while you're busy preaching to us (interspersed with cussing like a sailor) you might stop and pray for a heart. Tell you what: I'll go to hell to make you happy (though I won't kiss your a** as you requested) if you will go to The Wizard of Oz and ask for a heart.
I had the misfortune of knowing you as a coworker years ago, so you needn't worry about me coming to your property. I hated getting anywhere near you when I worked with you.
Have a nice night - and um.....slow down on the drinking.
I am confused why there are so many people with something to say but hide behind a computer. This horrible event is getting twisted around and pulling innocent people into something they had nothing to do with. Do you think they asked for this monster to tresspass on their property? Just shows how worhtless most of salisbury is. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU for being so inconsiderate. Do you not think this has taken an emotional toll of them as well?
wow... thats all i can say...
well being that she was kidnapped in the middle of the night and no one knew about it until the next day..Its pretty easy to not be on the suspicious side when you see trucks driving past your house out in the country. If your even up that late a lot of people go to bed before midnight. who knows what time of the night he took her there.
Leave your bears, flowers notes whatever else you wanna leave on the spot she laid to rest not where she was murdered!

The Wells' dont even live on that particular property.

Where do they live then? Inquiring Minds want to know?
Putting myself in Wells shoes, I would have had no problem with the memorial. And if I did, it would have been handled with a little more class.
I would have informed officals that the memorial was getting out of hand and could someone please take some of the flowers, balloons, teddy bears, etc to the children hospitalized in PRMC and other such places.
What the Wells' have done shows a total lack of taste and decentness.
This is all very sad, personally, I can't understand how anyone could be so cruel as to destroy the thoughtful items left in Sarah's memory. The decent thing would have been to contact the media and make them aware of their feelings about these things being left on their property and that would have given the public the chance to remove them and put them somewhere else. That's just cruel!

wow- thats not even where they actually live, it's just their abandoned property. Maybe it shoulda been torn down and he wouldnt have had a place to hide her. Where were the Wells' when everyone was told to check their own properties??
6:28 PM
OK, where do they live if they don't live there?
Mr. Wells, while I do agree it is a sad thing, and looking would be hard, I find it soooooooooo disrespectful of you to do such a thing. The proper thing would have been to ask people not to leave any more items until an alternate location could be found. I would have then waited for the alternate locationand then removed the items from my property and taken them personally to the new location. It's all about respect that you obviously lack. Would you like me to show up personally at your door and tell you what a jerk you are? Or would you like to come to my house. There would be no threat on my part, just taking you up on your challenge between posting and showing up in person. I can bring quite a few people with me that would be more than happy to stand on the PUBLIC sidewalk at your house and challenge your invite to talk to you in person. just let me know. Thanks jerk, disrespectful, idiotic moron. Wonder if you would have felt differently had it been your daughter? By the way, probably would not be wise to come to the Saturday service. Very likely security will remove you from the property.
Ron Wells is an a**, everyone around him knows it. All he had to to was email Joe and ask for the memorial to be moved. A box truck would have been there immediately and nothing needed to be destroyed.
I may well be the guy to confront him when I get back to town...
ps.- what a coincidence he defends the fatboy in the earlier posts
Mr. Wells, (again I will use that term lightly). What a heartless bastard you are. If you have so much to say, why don't you address why you did not search your own property??? And could have saved countless search hours. Sheriff Lewis asked all Wicomico County residents to do just that. Did you not hear that? Did you not hear or see that search crews were in your area since Thursday? And while I do not know you, I do know that where these memorial items are being placed are not in front of your primary residence. They are being placed in front of the lane that goes to the abandoned building where this monster, you got one thing right, committed a horrendous act. So what the hell is the big deal?? And you just tell me when & where, I will meet you and tell you to your face. And I'll request Mr. Albero be there so he can report back the disgrace you are to the community. God will judge you, you are absolutely right.......
Signed,

I would not want a daily reminder that a child had been found dead on my property...
Hey Wells. Maybe some of us will take you up on that you insensitive piece of shit. Property ownership is a "bundle of sticks" and you have responsibilities to also not allow your abandoned and neglected property to be made into a crime scene where predators victimize people. Why didn't you take your sorry ass out there Wed/Thurs and check your own damn property yourself instead of having law enforcement find the girl?? Or is what some of these people say true and YOU have something to hide?? Run your f'in mouth like that in person and I can guarentee you won't be eating corn on the cob next summer dickhead.
Joe, how about we all meet out in front of Mr and Mrs Wells home and protest.
I am the God mother to this wonderful child and as i understand the anger of the people in salisbury as i am angry too and i would love nothing more than to kick some ass to all who are involved and those who are heartless enough to destroy her memorials i beg of each and every one of you to please give Sarah some dignity and not show violence at her service as she died because of violence this is about her i could care less if yall wanna tear each other up outside the cemetary go ahead do your thing but my godbaby deserves all attention on her matter of fact i will help kick some ass afterwards but my love and attention will be on her and her brothers and sisters thank you
Why the anger at the Wells? Be angry with our judicial system which continually fails us. The Wells should not have the constant reminder of the innocent child found on their property, nor should they have gawkers passing by their home.
People need to do something useful. Be proactive. Take care of your children and make them your priority. Enough of this crying when it all goes bad.
Sarah should have never been in the situation she was in.
The Wells should not have to deal with a community that now wants to lynch them because the community DID NOT take care of Sarah.
Happy Holidays!
7:15, you have really gone beyond the pale! For your information, the name Wells is quite common in this area; in fact, my family contains some Wellses through marriage. Just because you are so upset at what happened, as we all are, you've gone off the edge in implying that maybe Ron and Becky Wells are also child molesters because they bear the same last name as a registered sex offender. What intelligent logic!
Others of you have chosen to cast your vitriol at the parents of Sarah, even though you know nothing at all about their situation. Again, it's human nature to feel the anger you do, but don't let your emotion clog up your ability to think!
Our attention should be focused on Sarah's death and on a system that could bring about such a horrible event. It does no good to start casting aspersions at innocent people.
Mr Wells, Insert foot in mouth you accessory, I hope Mike Lewis has some questions for you.
Please Mr. Wells answer us........why did you not search this property? I live some distance away from the crime scene and where they were focusing their search but I felt it necessary to search mine. I just don't understand and I am certain I am not alone. If you knew Leggs was familiar with your property you should have checked and if you were afraid of what you may find you should have had law enforcement there right away! You have every right to defend your property but why be so concerned over it now when you were not when little Sarah lay there?????????????
You are always going to remember if a child was found murdered on your property, memorial or not, 9:24.
I would have taken comfort in the memorial and tended to it lovingly. As the days went by, it would have gotten smaller and smaller. No need to destroy it.
Wells shouldn't be so surprised this is upsetting people. My question is-was Leggs familiar with this property? And was Wells aquainted with Leggs?
I can not believe that there are people that can be so cold hearted. I was one of the 3000 people who cared enough to be in the search for Sarah. You can do your part and help to let the community heel. You don't have to do anything. Especially don't take the flowers and teddy bears people are leaving. Do you have kids? You would want us to do the same for your family if this tradgity happened to you. Have a heart. Let us heel.
This is horrible. You all need to stop and THINK. Your opinions, all valid in their own ways, are NOT helping anyone. The property owners say grieve somewhere else, so do just that. I do not feel it right that these people have been called out in such a fashion. Their phone number should not have been displayed and people should have the common sense to know it's not going to change the home-owner's perceptions! Although I do find it a bit harsh to burn all the memorials, what else are they to do with it... personally carry it to the stadium?
The community that has been so united in this cause is now brought down by something so simple? Think people, think. Love people, love one another.
I would not have wanted to be the one to find the girl, however I imagine some of you would have gloated over a dead body for your 15 minutes of fame.
Let me clear up a few about the wells. As a neighbor i have heard shooting, fireworks, parties till all hours of the morning. Beer bottles and cans all over his property. A crap load os stolen street sign in his bar/ shed on his property.
Look Wells you could have given it a couple of days. I guess If i was to freaking lazy to look for a missing murdered child on my own property I would be pissed at myself also.
I guess you heard nothing ,saw nothing. To drunk again you piece of shit.
I hope you are haunted the rest of your days by what happend. This behavior just shows you would not have checked if you heard a scream.
Or did you. Did not smell anything burning, a truck running.
Karma is a bitch. Happy New Year!
You bring god into it. He forgives, maybe you should take a hard look at the irony in your post.
Neighbor
Those inquiring about where the Wells' live.. the place where the memorials were being left is in front of a dirt road where theres an abandoned house and chicken houses..the shack that they primarily live in is down a little bit and they cant even see the memorial stuff from there..so I dont even know what they are making such a big deal about. We all have to suffer the reminder that a child was taken from the world on on christmas day in our own community
9:36, we can't do that. "Mr." Wells might pee his pants and then insist we take up a collection to replace them.
I really dont think that is the real Mr. Wells. I think its one of the fat bas****s buddies or him himself doing this. Seems like they just like to stir the pot. Just my opinion.
This little girl was on my mind the entire holiday,She was a child probably lured by the promise of a toy or secret visit to Santa.I for one would be willing to help clean up the memorial site .Please lets stay focused on the predator that took her life. A lot of people(myself included)feel this man Tj should get the death penalty or lynch him . Mike Lewis and all others that helped thank you all.Little Sarah you were loved by the community. We wish we could have saved you from the demon that ended your life.
Ron...I know you didnt ask or want for these things to be placed on your property, and I understand that. But think about this...I'm sure Little Sarah didnt ask or want to be placed there either. However it happened and no one can change that. The entire community was affected by this and are grieving hard. And your only reaction is to blemish the spot where she may have taken her last breath. The only spot the community has to morn right now. I grew up in Salibury and now I live in Tulsa. When I travel back home i am saddened, each time, how much the community strays away from the way I remember it as a child. No one seems to be as friendly anymore and it seems to get worse with each visit. This tragic incident has brought the folks of the easstern shore together more than I could imagine. however, if the invitation is still open? I would love to discuss my concerns about your actions face to face with you as you requested. maybe even in one of those buildings i read about, i mean being that you are so concerned with prying eyes and all and it has been a couple months since I have been home. J.Maynard
WHY? i mean its in memory of sarah the gurl who got killed somewhere were it said RIVATE PROPERTY if it was private property why was Leggs on there hmm answer that question. the flowers were on the outside of the gate not inside the inside is your property but not the ouside some kids that aid stuff there includin me were friends or classamtes wit sarah and we contributed to her and she didnt even deserve it if the fowers were botherin you that much why didnt you jus call the police and told them it bothered you havin them there and it must not bother you that little sarah was killed on this property?!!
9:30...oh bring him some piggy pudding and bring it right here
My guess is that by Mr. Wells reaction, he has his own dirty little secrets.
joe did u take his number down?
there have been several good points made but !st an foremost R.I.P Sarah Haley Foxwell (2009) you are truly missed Lil Angel will never ever be forgotten in this community..As far as the other issue at hand Mr.Wells i am posting my number here should you wanna make sure you can get ahold of me i have no problems sending my trucks an employees out there to clean up whatever "mess" you may have on your property hell ill even go there daily an straighten it up so its not a eyesore if it had been your grandchild would your reaction be the same...?? i dont think so !!!..JOE ALBERO you did a hell of a job an i thank you for that from the bottom of my heart....MT HEART FELT CONDOLENCES AN SYMPATHY GO OUT TO THE FOXWELL FAMILY IN YOUR TRAGIC TIME OF LOSS AN SUFFERING..should you have any questions or complaints Mr. Wells i can be reached 24/7...(302) 519-2290 i think you should really rethink your decision as to wether or not you wanna destroy any other memorabilia or any type of memorial or balloons...again i ask you if this was your grand child or baby would your reaction be the same ????.....May you rot in eternal hell Thomas Leggs...
11:37, you make an interesting point. Blubber gut has been pretty quiet throughout this whole situation, and anytime HE'S quiet, he's up to something.
If it is him, he'll show his hand sooner or later as he always does. Only this time he's going to have one HELL of a lot of people on his sorry butt if it is him.
Look it is his property and he has every right to clean it up and remove the items. If it was me I would have been a little nicer about it. A few of you are complaining that he did not search his property. The authorities at the beginning of all of this told people not to do their own searches because they did not want untrained citizens contaminating the crime seen if they found it. It wasn’t tell the last day or 2 that they started letting people do their own searches and there is no telling if he had the time to search that place. Lets calm down and leave this man alone and stop putting phone numbers and address on here. GROW UP.
real class act
Considering the way the child died, I think marking the spot where she was tortured is a bit sick. Leave the stuff in front of her home where she lived--not where she died.
What makes my stomach really churn is the fact that Mr. Wells states that he doesnt want the flowers, stuffed animals, or any other tokens of respect placed on his property cause he doesnt want to be reminded "daily" of what took place on his property. Then answer this Mr. Wells. You seem to be a very concerned property owner and by your comments you make it seem that your always there. Right? Well if there was fire...smoke....odd sounds..smells..you know things that arent there "daily." on your property. .
Id assume you saw these abnormal things? If you are so active on your land maybe you didnt mind the site of fire or smoke....maybe you just looked the other way..... maybe its normal for your land to be hunted on by a perv or pervs... I think my thoughts are accurate and these things arent reminding you "daily" of a horrible crime. I think guilt is eating your insides. Things you could or should have done. Thats why you cant handle looking at the flowers or even a teddy bear.
p.s.
Please research your history before acting like you know it. Christmas is not Christian holiday.
*LilMae2003@aol.com*
Anyone that wants to leave teddybears, toys, etc. While a sweet gesture, you should take those bears and toys and donate them to a homeless shelter or to a hospital for the younger patients. Sarah would love that!
Dear Sarah has no use now for toys and bears. They will only get weathered laying outside and then be of use to no one.
If you must leave something, leave a note for her family or a single flower to honor her memory.
What about putting flowers and items at Sarah's home instead?
You have to wonder if TJ knew these people. He knew that it was a vancant property. Did he hunt there? If you hunt on someones property dont you have to have it in writting you are allowed to hunt there? Once TJ was arrested you would have thought Mr Wells would have contacted the police to let them know he had access to his property. TJ just didn't pick this place out of the blue. He had to know it was vacant somehow.
something else just came to mind. If they dont live on that property why didn't they go to check why there were tire tracks there? It had just snowed and if no one was living there they would have at LEAST seen tire tracks and if they are soooo concerned about their property they could have checked out the tracks.
I think often times people are so horrified by a crime such as this that it helps them to refocus on something else, like attacking one another. Like when people make jokes about horrendous things, they are unable to face the ugliness, that's all. We are one nation under God, and not one of us is perfect. But to turn on one another gets us nowhere. Lets strive to maintain the unity we saw when hope was still alive and all were searching, otherwise her death will be completely in vain. and if some thing the property owner drinks a little? That's not a crime. Young Sarah is no doubt in a better place now, where there is all peace. The rest of us? I just don't know. But I do hope we are united in the committment to see Leggs pay the ultimate price for what he's done to all of us.
(Wells) Insert foot in mouth,Guilty by association. I think Mike Lewis should have some questions for you.
Another one of Salisburys many fine employees.
I believe that they should have announced it on the news to please not put memorials on the property she was found out. We already know Mr. Custis is allowing things put at the school.
People, I know it is hard but Mr. Wells could have addressed the situation better than throwing them away. He could have called someone. Please, Mr. Wells, if that were your child, I would do the same for you.
My co-worker, Anitra Pirkle, was murdered almost a year ago. It is almost like pulling a scab off of a womb. Whatever you do will come back around to you so let's be civil about this. I feel some sorrow for Sarah's family but I am more worried about the other 6 children that this woman gave birth to. The case I see against her mother for the abuse and neglect make me angry. THat's why she didn't have Sarah in the first place and now this happens to her.
Please post a pic of this sick f*&*$ so I know to turn my nose up at them when I see them. I understand he may not want people on his property but you know what, a crime happened there and a little girl was taken awy from us. DEAL with it. This is what people do. Good people do things like this. NOT destroy stuff. You sick F*&*&
mr. wells... i have a few questions for you... why did you not search the property when sheriff lewis asked all wicomico county residents to check their property? you care so much about some flowers being put out because its littering on your property and you dont want to have to clean it all up, so why is there a run down abandoned piece of crap chicken house still standing on your property? that should have been burned down a long time ago... that my friend is a sight for sore eyes not the flowers. you say you dont want to be reminded of the murder that took place there and thats what the flowers and balloons make you think about but yet a chicken house still stands WHERE she was killed... wouldnt that be more of a reminder of this horrific murder than some flowers and balloons?? if you ask me its guilt because you didnt check your preoperty and she could have been found days sooner. really would appreciate a response and so would everyone else...
Mr. Well's is obviously a stupid a**hole but he did not commit the crime and we should stop giving him so much grief for it... Refocus your energies into something positive in the community or in your own family/life. Be the change you want to see in the world.
We are all very sorry Mr.Wells for littering your property. Formal apologies may be sent to Ron S. or Becky L. Wells at 32030 Melson Rd. Delmar Md.
Why are we letting these jerks remove a public memorial for this little girl? That part of the road is not owned by the Well’s family. It is owned by the tax payers. It makes me mad that these A## H#### have such disrespect for this little girl and the community. I was a part of the search operations both Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Why didn’t you come and help search or bring any food and water by Mr. and Mrs. Wells? This little girl tugged on the hearts of thousands of people except the Well’s family. Mr and Mrs. Well’s they need more people like you in Russia. I will be more than happy to buy you and your wife a one way ticket to leave this country. We don’t need your kind. Please pack up and get out.
Jesus will judge these people. It isn't our place. To be a good person means to have kind words. Please put all this effort towards Sarah and stopping crimes like this. To the Wells" May God Bless your soul that you will have the understanding of others!"
More of the same ol unfriendly ppl on the shore. During this time with what has occurred you should respect ppl's property and their privacy. I see both sides but handling it this way is straight out of the high school handbook. Say a prayer, go to church, help anyone in need. There are tons of other ways to do something good other than flowers or keepsake belongings in someone elses yard.
Write a congressman, demand better sex offender punishment, dont allow the local crime coverup to continue, all of these would benefit more than the flowers. In a month from now everyone will be at each others throats again on this blog trying to push their good ol boy agendas.
while the wells may not want to look at the memorial and be reminded about what happened, i hope our community doesnt choose to forget so soon. we need to stay vigilant and alert and insist that laws are put in place and followed so that this will not happen again. we need to unite and let the powers that be know that our community will not stand for this type of crime ever again. we cannot become complacent. while the wells family wishes for this tho just be over, it has only just begun. its a shame they couldnt just have called the police barracks and have the items removed by someone with a heart rather than just destroy the items and release the balloons. that child has suffered enough indecencey and callus treatment. just pray for her and stop all of this hate and anger.
Shame on you all. Would you like a daily reminder of something so awful that it is painful to think about....I think not.
And what is the appeal of a "shrine" at such a tragic location? Perhaps anyone who is blasting this Wells family - who I do not personally know, should really think about what they are accusing them of...and how they should be feeling just as bad for this family who has a constant reminder of what happened on their property - their "safe haven". I can't imagine coming home everyday to a place where something this awful took place...let alone have a memorial/reminder to look at everyday. I think this little girl Sarah deserves a much better memorial than a few flowers on the side of the road and I don't think she would want this family who SEARCHED and SEARCHED for her to be persecuted for trying to get throught his ordeal.
Shame on you all.
If they can see the area from thier house then why didn't they see when the bastard dumped her and why didnt they see a fire.
WHy didn't they search the propterty like everyone else in Salisbury was doing? Why did the bastard tink of this spot?
As for Grandchildren then it is a perfect oppertunity to talk with them about what has happened.
Leave the things there until after Sat. then there will be a place to honor this Christmas Angel.
All of you - read again, and again what words of wisdom wrote in. Yes, we are angry. And yes, we all hurt from this. As was written, God will be the final judge, have the final say about all of this. As for the one that is charged with this, Sheriff Lewis says he's not co-operating. He will co-operate when God comes to question. No choice there.
everyone is bashing the property owners for no reason. I am in lawenforcement and i worked at the crime scene the night she was found. My job was to secure the crime scene between searches. I cannot tell you the countless number of gawkers who came by the crime scene to get a look. Everyone was told not to come to the crime scene but they could not keep away. So if you want a memorial do it at her church or at her home, or better yet why dont you offer your yard up for the placing of these items.
Hickory your ignorance is only exceeded by your stupidity ! could the man waited until she was at least buried ? have some class !
Dickory Hell you should be ashamed !
The same could be said for the neighbors of the Wells, don't you think? You are all so quick to say "why didn't you see the fire, truck, tracks on the property, etc.". Well neither did any of the neighbors and surely from their comments they are keeping tabs on the Wells' property. Let it go already....I'm sure you will all find another topic to get all "mob-like" on, just give it time. We all feel bad for what happened to Sarah, but I would worry about my families safety (and my children's) if hundreds or even thousands of strangers were driving by and hanging out at my property all hours of the day and night even if they had the best of intentions.
1:12 I dought highly that you even came close to the site. I am not even sure if you are a cop. You might just be a clown. I know most of the cops their. They won't even talk about it. Here you are talking all kinds of trash.
Mr. Wells
Althought I do understand your point of view, I think you could probably went about it in a better way.
1:12 you should really read what you wrote. You are not a cop. If so I bet you are the pride and joy of your department.
1:12 Mike Lewis went out to place flowers at the site. Why don't you share your feelings with him. I bet your gutless.
Part of having "class" is taking responsibility for your words...
I would say I am leads ahead of you on that one 1:19.
This blog is very useful at times however when it turns a tragic event into an all out boxing match between innocent people and "anonymous bloggers" it changes from being useful, informative (though sometimes jumping the gun), and entertaining to somewhat of a one-sided, non-fact spewing, comment ridden mess!
I think Salisbury is better than that and so is this blog.
If everyone wants to donate items but nobody wants to leave them in her yard or the school why not donate in Sarahs name to the life crisis center where there are children who have been victimized by other monsters I think she would have loved that matter of fact i know she would
Wow Hickory the town ho scolds us !
at least I use my name....again with the anonymous comments attacking people who have nothing to do with what happened to a little innocent child.
It's easy to point fingers and call names when you don't actually have to take responsibility for what you say!
Come on Joe - you are better than this!
Aunt Carrie,
Life Crisis and CAC are two of the worst places to donate to when it comes to child protection. I can't tell you have CAC let my daughter down and those counselors at Life Crisis did the same. Two agencies wasting tax payer dollars. I know of two counselors who are suppose to watch over the Visitation Center and how neglectful they are in watching and observing what goes on. I think they are for the parent who is under watch instead of the parent who has been forced to leave their child in their care while the father gets away with inappropriate touching in their presence - until they were confronted and then they denied it all and used it again me in court!
1:12 I would like to start dropping off flowers and teddy bears at your house. Please leave us your address.
I wonder how many people just jumped on the bandwagon and blasted the Wells' before they did any research? They cooperated fully with the police department. They, along with law enforcement don't want any contamination of the scene. In cases like this, there are many people who are just "gawkers", fascinated with a crime scene and ride by for curiosity's sake, not to memorialize an innocent child. People are really taking this too far. A sign was posted, other sites offered for memorial, what else do you need? I have spoken to other neighbors of the crime scene who are horrified to the point that they can not sleep well to know that a child was being murdered so close to them and they did not have one inkling....to think they were watching tv or reading while the body was being burned. Do you hold these neighbors accountable? They were just as close. As it was Christmas, it is also a time when a lot of people are not home, because they are with family. A horrific thing happened and the community needs to remain united in their effort to curb any chance that any sex offender has for repeating offences. Instead of focusing on teddy bears and balloons, everyone should be looking at the sex offender site to see if they identify these offenders in places where they should not be!! Many sex offenders are living in homes with children, unreported to the authorities. These men (and a few women) are predators, who hunt for victims. Dating a woman with children is a bonus for them, and sometimes their primary goal in initiating relationships or dating. There are sex offenders living in your neighborhood who are not compliant with the rules. Spend the time you would have spent on buying teddy bears and balloons and get to know your neighborhood inhabitants instead!! Stop this from happening again!
To all the CONCERNED CITZENS, I personaly know Mr and Mrs Wells, they are not the heartless people you are making them out to be. It is his property and he can do what he wishes to do with it, instead of attacking him nad his wife, how about attacking the neighbors that live RIGHT across the street to this driveway, WHY didnt THEY see something and report it, The Well's family can not see this entrance from their home so more than likely they didnt see anything so GROW UP PEOPLE it is very unfortunate what happened to Sarah and trust me i thought about her all thru the Holidays myself the anger should be directed to the SICK F---- that did this to her not at the Well's. Please just leave any memorial type stuff you want to leave at her home or at the school she attened or at the service on Saturday. Please leave the Well's family alone like I said before they are not the heartless monsters you people are making them out to be. Have A Wonderful Holiday Season ALL
I seriously doubt they were taking them down and letting ballons go!! People make so much out of nothing! Let the little girl and her family have some peace now that she has been found!! And whoever toke her is not the people whos house she was found at so cut them some slack! How would you feel if she was found in your ditch!! Like crap I bet for not seeing her just like them! Cant we all just have a Happy Holiday and not crap on other people!We are all here so together so have some common curdicy! Just had to say that! :)
I am truly sorry for that but honestly i wasnt asking for money donations i do believe the surviving siblings of Sarah need a trust fund set up so that they may have some kind of future what i was trying to say was alot of good hearted folks want to leave stuffed animals and such on a memorial i was just really thinking that if they were donated to the life crisis center in Sarahs name the children of sexual assult wouldnt feel alone i am deeply sorry that you and your child were let down by these but what can make us stronger is to stand together and fight so that no more children can be victimized if you are interested
Instead of going after each other or Wells, who don't really matter, why don't we start asking our elected officials what they are going to do about changing how these monsters are dealt with.
I would like to know why in 1999 this Leggs chump had charges that were Nolle Prosequi? And why in 2000 there were charges put on a Stet Docket? Maybe there were good reasons or maybe not; but if someone did not uphold the oath of their office then they should held accountable. We might not be able to control what happens in DC or Annapolis but we can hold our States Attorneys liable...NO MORE PLEA BARGAINING!
Let Sarah not be forgotten!
I find this whole topic SO distasteful. LEAVE the land owners alone. I would not tolerate a pile of, what will be trash, on my property. If all these people who see themselves as holier than thou are so concerned about leaving behind a Teddy Bear or flowers for an obviously abused little girl and think they are self righteouos enough to bad mouth the owners of the land becausee they paid their respects, why don't they do something to really show their concern and give a donation to the Adam Walsh Foundation or the Heidi Klass Fund or the Center for Missing and Exploited Children??Put your money where your mouth is and not in some cheap stuffed toy. As for the "God mother", where were you when all the abuse was going on? Why didn't you behave as a Godmother and one who must have known, being so close to the child how she lived. I own property down there, but THANK God, don't live in that place. The "city goer has it right..for the most part, you are all know it alls who honestly believe that there is no life west of the bridge. Get a grip and give this poor child and the family who own the property a break...Please, wanna show respect, give to one of the foundations who actually respect abused and exploited kids, not soggy Teddy bears and dead flowers.
WOW. What a tragic incident. The Well's didnt ask for any of this and just because they found the body on their property they are getting butchered.
Glad it didnt happen on my property.
Everyone is feeling anger and sadness about what happened to little Sarah, but we should not direct it towards the Wells Family. It should be directed at the legal system that let this poor girl down and the monster who did this to her. It seems to me that people want to cast blame on someone and the Wells Family is an easy target. If you want to show respect for Sarah go to her funeral, go to the memorial at the park, go to her school. Leave the Wells alone.
Ron Wells 5:54 & 7:37 is the Fat Man! Anon 1:12, our friend JR.
wow! nice christian people! The Wells family shouldn't be the ones under attack. Could this have been handled differetly by them - YES! But now they are going to be affected by thier actions forever. Mr. & Mrs. Wells, I am sure you are following these post as I would too. I'm sure after reflecting on the situation you feel that it could have been handled differetly by you but I also want to apologize to you for the fact that your name has been tarnished. I feel that you are deserve an apology but don't think you will get one from this blog. Intersting how you didn't do anything but the headlines are about you and your family being these "monsters".
Mr. Wells deserves his privacy I feel bad for what has happened on his property he did not ask for any of this . I just think it would have been better to let people grieve a little before throwing away flowers and what ever else they left for her. Just remember your anger is at Leggs not Mr. Wells .
Thank you, Mr. Curtis, principal of Beaver Run School, for allowing the school property to be used to honor Sarah. Sarah lived near the school. Many items from the prayer vigil were destroyed by fire from the candles. However, the items still in good condition were given to the family. The area in front of the school would still be a wonderful place, where the family can see it, to pay tribute to dear Sarah.
4:35 dont hate on me first of all you havent the foggest clue what i have been through and what i ma going through on top of dealing with the death of sarah no really i am gonna tell you i was having my ass kicked by my husband and had to remove me and my kids from that situation i had no damn clue that sorry sob was around her if i knew and wasnt stashed in some friggin remote area to hide from my husband i would have been there and you can bet your bottom dollar i would have been there not that i need to explain myself to you and thousands of other people whom most of dont seem to bash me so now that i have exposed myself i hope you are friggin happy ass
The fact the he burnt the flowers and stuffed animals is the deal breaker.. He could have just as well called the sheriffs department and told them to come take up the stuff and to make an announcement for no one to bring anything. The act he commited was just unnecessary.
And by the way she was not abused up until this point she may not have had the best family values but she was not ever sexaully abused or physically abused her mother nor her aunt ever said anything out of the way to her just because she went through parents being in jail and stuff does not mean abuse was always happening to her and like i said if i knew he was around her he wouldnt have been for long due to his reputation hed would have been dead if i ever saw him look at any of those kids crosseyed get your fingers out my face
As friends of Ron & Becky Wells for many years, what most of you witch hunting, non-spelling morons don't know is that they are decent, good hearted people. If you associate Ron Wells with work you may not have the best regards for him (as most working associates do in any workplace) but we know this man and he does not deal with tragedy well. Witch hunting only gets peoples satisfactions cured. It only stirs conspiracy. Have you even considered the fact that he was away with family when law officials announced to search your own property, they may have not even been home due to Christmas family obligations? Would you really know how to react to coming home to find that a child that was murdered had been found on your property? As far as the "abandoned house" it was slowly being fixed up to rent, as it was their old farm house..that they lived in until they built their new NICE house on their property that they worked hard to clean up. If Mr Leggs was an acquaintance, I'm sure that they had NO idea that he was a sex offender. If Mr Wells's reacted in a fashion that was morally unaccepted, then you may disagree with that, but don't condemn the man! Think about the ones that left these kids alone and knew what kind of bad person MR LEGGS was...hell they gave him an open invite by letting him know where they hid the spare key. Give me a break. We have not heard one negative word about 2 children being left ALONE by FAMILY members. Sarah has been in our hearts since we heard she was missing..she is still with us today...but so are our friends..RON & BECKY Wells and we do please ask that they are showed the same due respect.
Sincerely,
Dave & Dawn LaPrad
Friends of Ron & Becky Wells
Thank you to the Beaver Run Principal for offering a place for the community to grieve.Off topic but Billy Curtis is a great guy.He was one of my teachers yrs ago.He is a good Christian,Shore native, and top notch educator.
well stated, friend of Ron and Becky Wells, I don't know them and I don't know the victims family, and I sure as hell don't know Leggs. and I don't want to sound judgemental, I am the last person who should judge, but for the Aunt to be so desperate for the attention of a "man" that she'd reveal where the key was, and then even keep it there once he was through with her, is just, well it's unforgiveable-she put the children in harms way. simple as that.Children have a right to feel loved and protected, if you cannot offer them that, get out of their lives.
I would like to say that if we were all the same this life would be pretty boring then Joe you wouldn't have anything to blog about and we wouldn't have anything to read and respond to we all grieve in many different ways and many people find comfort in placing memorial items where the victom was last, I find comfort in knowing that so many people cared enough to even place them there in the first place if people hadn't placed anything there then society or the community would be deamed cruel and noncompassionate so we lose either way that being said Mr. and Mrs Wells flowers are biodegradable so that is not littering and plus it adds color and life to a spot where life once was wouldn't you rather see something beautiful in a spot that was once so tragic no matter if you destroy the flowers and are trying to forget what happened or trying not to be reminded you will never forget ever regardless if those flowers are there or not so tell us what the real reason is for not wanting them there, what to get attention just add more grief and pain to the already suffering and heartbroken, people put there hearts and souls in that memorial for a child they didn't even know remember its kindness that gets us through the tough times, you are rite it is your property and you can do with it what you want but why be so bitter have a heart and show people you really do care and maybe people will leave flowers for you and brighten up your dark spot...
