I can't help but think how afraid Steven was in his last moments. How cold and cruel those killers were. It is unfathomable how people can do that. He was someone's son. Barely an adult. It pains me of what he went through.

I read some of y'all old posts on this page, and P you are so right. That school camera would've helped, and even shown me, a good 10 seconds later looking left and right trying to find them. I already know I looked crazy, but they started walking fast towards the door, because the skinny kid was overjoyed and still rushing Darius. There's no way they took a school bus. By the time I went outside they were nowhere in sight. It is only reasonable to state that a vehicle was their mode of transportation. Who drove? Whose vehicle? I don't have that info right now, but rule out the school bus option. Hope that helps.

It is so important to let someone know where you are. Especially if you are going hunting or hiking in the wilderness. I hope he is found someday. It took so long for them to find his truck it is disheartening.

It is clear he was suffering from a mental health crisis. That doesn't mean it's ok though. I wonder what set him off?

What I am confused about is his belongings were left at home. His wallet, coat, and truck were left behind. Normally a person in the very least leaves with his wallet. It was also January in Georgia. He didn't take a coat? This all sounds so suspicious.

Clifford Ross was in the wrong, and I say that because I was there and witnessed what happened firsthand. I am his ex wife, and on that day I opened my front door only because I wanted to talk to him and try to calm him down before the situation got worse. Instead of respecting my home or leaving, he forced his way inside without my permission. The man I was dealing with had locked himself inside the bedroom, but Clifford wasn’t trying to talk or peacefully resolve anything. He was armed with a gun and intentionally went after him. Clifford violently broke down the locked bedroom door with a gun in his hand, trying to get to the man inside. The moment he forced his way into that room, a struggle broke out because the man was fighting for his life. Clifford tried to shoot him, but during the struggle the man grabbed the gun and forced it away from his own face and body to keep himself from being shot. While they were fighting over control of the weapon, the gun discharged and Clifford was shot. That is why I have always said Clifford was never the victim in the way people try to make him out to be. The only reason he became the victim was because he was the one who ended up being shot after creating the entire situation himself. If Clifford had never forced his way into my home, broke in a locked bedroom door head first and never entered that room with a gun intending to confront and kill the man inside, none of this would have happened. Everything that occurred was a direct result of Clifford’s own choices and actions. The fact that the other man later accepted a plea deal for involuntary manslaughter does not change what actually happened or what I witnessed with my own eyes. Plea agreements happen for many different reasons, but they do not rewrite the truth. From the very beginning, Clifford was the aggressor, he initiated the violence, and he created the circumstances that led to his own death. In my opinion, based on everything I personally witnessed, Clifford Ross was 1000% in the wrong.

I love you David I’m sorry you had to go through all of this

Hi, Josh's son's mother here.

WOW.

Dusty is a deeply disturbed woman. This is a case of domestic violence with a female aggressor. If you want or need REAL facts: deywhit832 at gmail.

DM, So sorry for your loss. Has she been convicted yet or still pending trial?

I was one of his best friends but he truly had many best friends. I think about him daily and will never stop, my whole experience of musicians and concerts I attended from 2007-to his death was profoundly made better and changed completely by his presence in my life. I haven't seen a single concert since he was killed.. I know that will have to change sometime but I can't look forward to it. We know who killed him, I'm waiting to hear updates about his case since I moved away from Louisville.. More than a lot of the cause of my moving away was my inability to process his murder and the stand your ground defence employed by his killer.
