I wonder what happened to Jack McCain of Rogers. Did he really commit suicide or someone else did him in?
I knew Jack, talked 2him a few months before all this. It's been a year and STILL no resolution 2this man's murder(s)...
The word is that he used to have more than one girlfriend and one of the females drove with him that day and the female shot at him and left him on the side of the road.
