As Sheila was asked many of these questions repeatedly prior to retreating from this forum, and asked ALL of them without ever answering any of them (thanks for giving all that help you offered, Sassy!), here are the answers as we currently know them. There is NO REASON Sheila couldn't have answered these questions, unless she is hiding something herself. It would have been nice had she answered these years ago when asked, instead of needlessly stalling the work she asked us to do. It would also have been interesting to see where and how her answers varied from reality.
1> PCSO timeline claims you lived at two addresses in the Claremont Park prior to Keddie. Can you explain exactly where they were in Quincy, and the differences between the two Claremont addresses? Why you moved from one trailer to another? where was Uncle Don living in conjunction to these moves?
The Sharps lived at the Claremont Trailer Park across the street from the car dealerships and Gansner Field, on Crescent/89/70, north of the Chevron station. South and adjacent to Chevron is where the location of Downtown Trailer Park, where Tina was molested. Why Sheila felt the need to hide this simple fact is beyond comprehension. It means Tina and the younger kids always went to Quincy Elementary, and it means that's where Joel was a teacher when he was practicing his pedophilic stalking. It also means the kids were very familiar with downtown Quincy and the environs, where Johnny and Dana were last seen alive.
2> On the day prior to the murders (April 11), you and mom and everyone but Tina went to Quincy. We know Johnny supposedly stayed the prior night at the Meeks with Richard, but he never appears on the Official Timeline as being EVER near the Meeks' home. Who was in the car and where did you go that day, and when did you and mom (and whomever else) drive back to Keddie? Where was Johnny when you got to the Meeks?
Richard Meeks has since said Johnny, he, and his brother, Walter, spent the evening across the street from the Meeks' apartment, at the arcade. He said Walter and Johnny got into a spat, then they left, went home and to bed- no hard feelings. They got up on Saturday, probably had breakfast, then they split up sometime afterwards, but he and Johnny met up later in the morning. He makes no mention of ever seeing Sue or Sheila at the house that day, yet Mama Meeks claims that Sue and the kids were there all day- until early evening, in fact. ADDITIONALLY, the recently-released initial FBI report on the murders states Tina "spent much of the day of the murders with her mother and younger brother traveling between Keddie and Quincy", which contradicts statements from Sheila and Justin that Tina spent early Saturday alone, roaming around Keddie.
3> Richard Meeks has several important conflicting versions of where Johnny and Dana were that day. Most importantly, your 'official PCSO Timeline' claim is that you and Sue (and Greg?) picked up Dana and Johnny hitchhiking towards Keddie, north of Gansner Park, early in the afternoon of the 11th; Justin's statements seem to confirm the timing of this. However, Richard claims Dana and Johnny showed up at the market, and they were with him when he went to the Bazes' trailer, etc. Richard (and others) claim Johnny and Dana spent much of the 11th with Richard at various spots in Quincy, and these witness accounts directly conflict with your version, yet they are both on the timeline. Please recount what happened, move by move, because that's exactly why it's important.
Nope, Sheila's version of the story doesn't match anything, other than Justin's stiff claims that Dana and Johnny were home in Keddie around noon on Saturday, only to hitch back to Q shortly thereafter. This incongruous mangle of a story is still one of the most troubling parts of the picture, as so many other people claim Johnny and Dana and Sue, in particular, were off doing other things that day. It's a crucial part of the timeline, and Sheila's silence on this subject has always been troubling.
4> Reports indicate Richard may have witnessed Marty Smartt at "the arcade" Richard visited on the 11th. What do you know of this?
Let's just say, "we cannot comment at this time", LOL
5> The PCSO Timeline indicates you left your mom after going to Quincy the morning of the 11th, and visited the sister of Henry Thompson, subject of a contested confession to the murder of your family. Where were you that morning, and where did you go to in order to visit her? How far did you travel? Did you walk or hitch to her house? How long were you visiting her? Did you go anywhere else or see anything unusual?
Several reports indicate that Sheila not only visited Henry's younger sister, Alice, but that Sheila asked her to sleep over at Cabin 28 that night. LE reports claim Alice refused because she had to babysit that night. There are multiple accounts that Sheila was trying to get a sleepover at Cabin 28 organized for the evening of Saturday, yet she was struck down by all she asked. Even LaRonda Meeks evidently refused an invitation, staying overnight with a friend in a cabin behind 28 that very night instead. In fact, Mama Meeks says it was LaRonda that called on Sunday morning, alerting her that something was wrong at 28, that cops were everywhere. Sheila also asked one of the Seabolt daughters to sleep over that night but, as we know from the interview with Zonita, she was fine with allowing the Sharp kids over at her house, but did not trust her children's safety at 28 or with Sue, who she regarded as a poor mother. It is apparently Sheila's zero turnout for a sleepover at 28 which led to Tina not staying at the Seabolts' that night, which was the norm. Instead, Tina stayed slept at home and Sheila stayed at 27. It seems contradictory that Sheila would plan a big sleepover at the same time Greg and Rick were going to have a sleepover with Justin- which makes me doubt Justin spending the night at 28 was a foregone conclusion. It seems more likely that Justin's spending the night with the younger Sharp boys was a last-minute idea, and perhaps it was Justin's own suggestion. However, there is the matter of Keddie resident, G K's, son. From the Persons of Note file: "her son to spend night at Sharp's (4/11), [G K said] no - because Sue didn't watch her kids close enough." One could surmise this failure was Sheila's first (and sole) attempt at a sleepover after returning from Oregon, and it's collapse partly revolved around the stigma of a pregnant 12 year old. However, it's clear multiple sources directly named Sue's parenting skills as the reason they refused sleepover requests.
6> As I recall, your mom called you at her house to return to where she was so you could regroup and go home. Where were you? Where was mom? How did you get back? When?
The Meeks moved from an apartment in Quincy (near the old post office, where Papa Murphy's is located) to their apartment in EQ, on the SE corner of Main and 1st, shortly after the Sharps moved from the trailer park by Gansner Field to Cabin 28. The Thompsons lived a short distance from the Meeks' apartment, on Lee Road, near Mill Creek.
7> Your mom dated Mr Baze. Richard Meeks, and a Baze or two and various friends, stated Dana and Johnny were at the Baze trailer, Where was the Baze Trailer?
The Baze Trailer was in Brown's Trailer Park.
8> There is also a report indicating this may have happened at the "Brown Trailer Park" where someone (Baze or Richard) was taking care of dogs... what do you know of this account?
It is true.
9> Where in HELL was Brown's trailer park?
Brown's Trailer Park was located in EQ, in the area west of South Mill Creek Rd, encompassing both sides of curved Forest View Dr., up to and including the west side of S Mill Creek.
10> After the murders, you were shuffled around, seemingly amongst family. Where did you and surviving family stay in the days and weeks after the murders? Were you split? Did you stay together?
They all stayed with Don Davis, Sue's brother. He was married with a daughter and a tenant in the trailer (located in the trailer park on N Mill Creek, across the street from what was, at the time, Pioneer Plaza). After the murders, the kids rambled all over town. The surviving boys spent a lot of time playing video games with Justin and Casey, either at the Meeks' apartment (where the Smartts were staying) or the arcade across the street from the Meeks. Their 'dad', John Sharp, also stayed there from approximately April 13 until the funeral, whereupon he split to visit friends further north. On the day of Sue's and Johnny's funeral, Doug Thomas picked up Justin at the Meeks', putting him into 'protective custody' in a Meadow Valley household. Also, it was in this trailer that LE came to 'record' an 'interview' with Greg, ha ha ha. Greg had clearly stated he woke up during the murders, yet LE intentionally has NO RECORD of this.
11> Justin states your brother(s) and he hung out daily after the murders (while he was staying with the Meeks), at "the Arcade", the "bowling alley", and the Meeks' home. Where were you staying in those days, and how close in proximity to the places Justin mentions? Did you do a lot of walking, were you given rides- how were you getting around?
We now know the Meeks and Don Davis lived a couple hundred yards from each other, so they were about a football field's length apart. It's also become abundantly clear that Sue let the kids ramble all over the place, unattended, so that aspect was nothing new.
12> where was the Arcade and Bowling Alley Justin mentions in his police interviews?
There were two bowling alleys- one still located at 1735 Main (La Sierra Lanes). The other was located a couple hundred yards east on Main, in Pioneer Plaza, which was right between Don's trailer and the Meeks' apartment. The bowling alley in Pioneer Plaza also used to house the arcade where Johnny and Dana and the Meeks hung out, but it had recently been moved into a building closer to the Meeks' home, right across the street on Main, where the Hope Chest thrift store now resides. In fact, Richard helped lug all the games over, down the Main Street sidewalk, and was a permanent fixture there, given the nature of his relationship with the folks that ran it.
13> Which business did you duck into when you and a friend were being tailed by the "green van"? Where was it? Did you call police?
14> Where were the pigs all this time, letting you all run loose and unmonitored around town in the days following the slaughter of your family?
They eventually took Justin into 'protective custody' days later, immediately after the Sharps' funerals, but never showed any interest in protecting the Sharp kids. Why? Wouldn't this obviously point to a belief by LE that the Smartts were a target- or more that Justin was a witness and target, and Marty was the killer? This is another glaring discrepancy by LE, where they displayed an understanding of the case and a knowledge of who the killers were, while lying to the public and most of the victims.
15> Where was Don living during all the time you and family stayed in Plumas/Quincy 79-81? I assume you stayed with him in the days immediately after the murders...
See above. Don had lived in the Claremont trailer that Sue and her 5 kids moved into. Evidently, he moved to the larger trailer in EQ, where he was still located when the murders happened.
16> Did you ever see Marty or Loon or Bo or Dee Lake (an/ or wife) in the days prior to the murder, or in the days after? When/who/where/how?
"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."
