Dear Liberty Dispatch,
I am concerned that in the loudness of our political debates in this election year and in the near horror of watching our new President try to dismantle the building blocks that have made this country great, we have very possibly lost one of our citizens to a murder that has not been adequately investigated.
Several months ago a retired teacher was said to have suffocated and died in a fire located at Russell Fairchild's Hardin property. A rumor alleged that the retired teacher had just one week before signed over much of what he had accumulated in life to Chip and Russell Fairchild. With so much other news going on at that time I am not sure our community ever heard whether this was true or not. I do not remember hearing any reason for such a transfer of wealth.
A more recent rumor is that though Chip Fairchld is now working for the Liberty Police Department at a much lower wage, his significant and expensive remodeling of his house was just after the death of this teacher.
For the sake of the Sheriff's Department's and Chip and Russell Fairchild's reputation there should be an exhaustive investigation and published public findings about both the death and the transfer of any money. When a chief investigator or a former chief investigator for the Sheriff's Department is rumored to be connected to a death in any way, the public needs to know every rock was overturned and the results of the investigation should be public and specific. Not just "it was an accident" etc.
Due to Texas Ranger, Frank Huff and booted Liberty County Sheriff, Greg Arthur being so closely and personally tied to the Fairchild's- they have allegedly gotten away with murder and other crimes. It is easy to see why some people believe there are unanswered questions that the public deserves to hear an answer to.
Responsible investigators should not allow the Fairchilds to hide behind the thin blue line as cover for their crimes. Investigators should follow the money and tell us what they find. Why has Liberty Police Chief, Billy Tidwell allowed an alleged murder, Chip Fairchild work for him without an internal investigation? Does Chief Billy Tidwell think so little of the people in Liberty Texas as to allow an alleged murderer to run major crimes investigations in the area?
Investigators: You work for us and one of us has allegedly been murdered. What will you do?
