I sent an email to the Burleson city paper.  
I just dont suspect Iceman trying to mess around and making stuff up.   I know that you cant get to know everything about someone after only 3-4 days, but I did not get that impression from Iceman and I have known people like Voss and I can usually tell when someone is selling a load of BS.    

also on that link I posted for Burleson there are links for Johnson and Tarrant county websites.

I have no impression of him either way, haven't met him, don't know him in the game. If it's not true then the sun will still rise tomorrow -- if it is true, then he should get the recognition he deserves. And that includes a spot in the NRA magazine.

It's not ringing any bells with me or the local police department or sheriff's office.


maybe even though he lives in Burleson maybe he falls under a different city's jurisdiction?

also Murdr posted this in the other thread

His friend has his laptop, and contacted us through the squad mailer...Could also have been who you saw.

Iceman is going to be ok, but it sounds like his shoulder is going to take some work to fix. From what I understand he's been allowed home on and off, but going back in for another surgery on his shoulder tomarrow.

I'll send a link to this thread so he can find it. Im sure he'll appriciate the words of support.

His note to Betty indicates he had not been online for awhile,  this could have happened back after thanksgiving.  If this was a hoax, why only send a comment to Betty on myspace,  whynot here?  and Murdr would have to be in on the joke too?  I dont see reason for a  :noid   maybe we're just looking in the wrong place for the information.

Edit:  Last post on this board by Iceman was 11/27 in the am.

airscrew, you seem to know some of these folks.  Many people like myself are amazed by this story and very interested in the details, but many of us have developed a very healthy distrust of all information not officially entered on the internet.  Can you talk to someone on icemans end and get us some official data on the event?

maybe he is like some secret agent kind of guy and that is why there is no info on the case.   Don't want to cause attention...

Or... maybe he has a crush on Betty?

I probably dont know any of these people any better than anyone else.  I met Iceman at the con last year but we didnt trade emails or phone numbers, I didnt have him sign my con t-shirt or nothing.   We shared some beers, stories, fun times,  and I let him shoot me down twice during the 2v2.  he flew with Natedog and thrashed Shoulman and I twice, me screaming for help the whole time.  

so far the information I have I got by searching Betty's thread with the myspace link, following the myspace link on her page to Derek's myspace site.   in the other thread Daddog has sent an email to Derek, and apparently Murdr has been in contact with a friend of Derek.  
this could have happened anytime between 11/28 and 12/11.

Agree its an amazing story and I would like to hear the details, but I would rather Iceman healed up and gets healthy first.  Physically and mentally.    I have never shot or killed someone but about 92 or 93 I and a few co-workers from the hospital had to go clean up after a suicide.  Guy had held his family hostage for several hours with a shotgun.  He eventually released them and then some time later blew his head off.    because I was one of the infection control and biohazard monitors for my clinic I got volunteered to go cleanup after this guy, blood, brains and bits of bone everywhere.
later in the evening a few of the LE/SPs that had responded to the incident.  One of the guys related how he had broken in the rear window and busted down the bedroom door and shot the guy about 3 times in the chest, except the guy was already dead.  He had been firing that shotgun all morning so there was no way to know before hand.   Anyway that night this cop was all piss and vingear about busting down the door and blowing the guy away, talking a mile a minute, couldnt shut him up.  Few days later was different story.  We all got sent to mental health for stress counsuling.  Anyway it affected me for several days afterward and all I did was clean it up for 8 hours

Me either. :lol

The newspaper article was the clincher for me.

By the way, google doesn't get any hits on any of the text in it or the guy's first+last name.

That paper must have been really, really "local" for the story to vanish into thin air. The town crier must have just recited the article in lieu of publication or any form of mass media.

The Burleson Star is the ONLY paper I can find for Burleson, Texas. Makes sense as it is a small suburb just 13 miles from Ft. Worth.

Ice says the article was in the "Burleson paper" so it is possible there is another paper.

Nonetheless, I will maintain my wait and see attitude.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I'll maintain a "who gives a flip" attitude.  it is afterall the intardnet.  I think we should turn you detectives loose on the osama bin ladin case.  you'll be famous and earn $25,000,000.99 and you can brag about it here, what could be more rewarding? hmmmm?
