Halburn Making Excuses Now

 Always splitting hairs

Well, it didn't take long for Mark Vance Halburn to start feeling the heat over his roommate, the child molester. When he publicly answers on his Facebook page, you can bet people are asking him about PutnamLIES.com's article.

Let's just examine your statements, shall we, Fatass?

You didn’t say you’re still with Barbara.

You didn’t deny you’re back.

How in the world can you keep a straight face and say they don't live in Raleigh? . The Wake County assessor's office confirms the address AND the basement. You can call it Medfield Estates or Cary or whatever the fuck you want to call it but the zip code and the county says it's Raleigh.
And with a "Fully finished" basement?
And then there's poor old Bob Harper.

"Harper, a 70 year old amputee"

You left out the part that he IS an actual registered sex offender.

Hmmmmm. Look at that address. 49 Tahoe Road.
Don't cloud the issue with facts though, You wouldn't want to confuse your adoring audience.

What kind of sicko molests a little girl?
And what kind of sicko wants to call a molester his friend and roommate?
Were you molested when you were a kid Halburn? Is that why you're fascinated with sex abusers?

"I don't live with Harper"
Translation:
I live in a building/trailer on the property.

How do we know where you're living?
Because YOU yourself gave that as your address, when asked where to send an advertising check.

Hmmmmm. Look at that address.

We're sure you have a convoluted explanation. We're just waiting to hear it.
It will be something like, “It’s my MAILING address” or some other bullshit.

Fine … why are you having your shit mailed to a child molester?

Say you don’t live there. Why are you having your shit mailed to a child molester and not to where you’re actually staying?
Because driving 30 minutes out of town and up Bumfuck Holler to pick up your mail is so convenient.

Also, the 3rd Degree Sexual Abuse Harper committed is a felony. So you just told everybody that a felon is in possession of several guns, which is really gonna fuck ol’ Pegleg when they execute a search warrant.

Way to throw Bob under the bus, Halburn.

Your friends are limited so we're sure you're scared shitless at this point. When something happens to Buddy Bob, where do you go then? 
You'll have to find someone else to leech off of. But look on the bright side. Troy gets out of jail in May.

UPDATE:
As expected, Halburn offers the very excuses that we predicted.

Letters. We Get Letters.

Halburn Impersonates Second Ex-Wife

Last Saturday we received an email from someone purporting to be Halburn's second ex-wife. We smelled a rat as soon as we read it. A big fat smelly rat named Mark Vance Halburn.

She has absolutely no reason to contact us. Why would she? She has nothing to say to us. And we have nothing to say to her.

 So Saturday's email came as a surprise. But we knew something was amiss as soon as we read it.

Why would she care why he left? We're sure she's just relieved that he's gone.

So we waited a couple of days and  then asked, "Who Are you? Mark who?"
And the answer came back:

Our reply: 

"He's undergoing gender reassignment surgery. 
 
Seriously. Fuck you Halburn, We know it's you."

Two hours later, his answer was: 

We answered back:
"Bullshit.

You realize this is going to get posted don't you?
And as soon as it is, Judge Keller is going to see it.
Enjoy your time back in jail, asshole.

That kid of yours is going to be shaving before you see him again."


"Not Halburn" never answered that email.

And now it's being posted. This is the kind of shit that got him sent to jail before Christmas. A stunt like this could put him back in there.

Why would Halburn do something like this? Easy.

He wants something to prove that she's communicating with us. To smoke us out. He's convinced that everyone is conspiring against him. He's a fucking nut.

He even used a picture of her holding the son he will never see again.

God only knows if he’s emailing anyone else with that address and what he’s saying. The court would be interested to know too.

But we can see the fake email now ... “I confess I cheated on my husband and I am an unfit mother. Therefore I ask for my parental rights to be immediately terminated and for my son to be placed with his father in a Beach house you order me to Buy. I also will pay $1 million per month for life for spousal and child support and will never contact my son or Mark Hallburn again”

He's notorious for using fake accounts. He even forged a letter from Judge Mike Kelly to the Supreme Court during his divorce case.

A practice like this is business at its absolute worst, practiced by an immoral charlatan masquerading as a journalist.  He will stoop to the lowest, most vulgar, vile and disgusting ploys to deceive the honest, hard-working citizen. He is the lowest form of scum on the face of the earth.

HALBURN'S CAT RESCUE STORY IS A HOAX

More Lies From The Lying Liar
PutnamLIES Exposes Another Hoax

Remember a few years ago when Halburn rescued a family from a flaming car crash? Well, that was bullshit and we proved it.
Now he's pumping out another lie in order to make himself look good for his Facebook sycophants who think he's a swell guy.

These type of incidents always seem to happen around the same time Halburn has gotten into some sort of trouble. This one appears to be instigated by his conflict with Congressman Mooney's office and their notification of federal law enforcement.

Week before last, on Tuesday, January 19, before all the snow hit, he claimed a cat that hung out near his shitty garage apartment ran inside to escape the cold and parked himself on his saggy ass, crusty mattress.

"How cold is it? My town has a stray cat problem. There is one that hangs out near MY home. For THREE YEARS he wouldn't let me get near him. Last night it was about 4 degrees when I came home. As I opened my front door, guess who rushed inside? When I woke up this morning, guess who was sound asleep under my comforters?"

All of his toadies begged him to show them a photo of the sweet little kitty, but the vaunted reporter and photographer was unable to take even one picture.
Pretty convenient that a guy with a camera permanently hanging around his neck 24/7 took no pictures of the cat. None.
His excuse? "Apparently (the cat) was abused, because EVERY time I held up a camera to take his picture, he ran to hide."
Right.
Because a sleeping cat is so hard to photograph.
You know why there are no pictures? Because it NEVER HAPPENED!

So he then he says he named the cat Simba and since he couldn't keep it, he took it to a "no-kill" shelter the next day. It's there that the really big whoppers began.

"He returned tonight. Right now "Simba" (yes, I named him) is sound asleep in the middle of my bed, between two comforters after enjoying a bowl of warm milk and a can of cat food... I set up a litter box and he used it before going to sleep, so I know that he is housebroken. I am not allowed to have pets, so tomorrow I will take Simba to an animal shelter where I know the director will make sure that Simba finds a loving, forever home. No more freezing weather for him."

On Wednesday, a few hours after he allegedly took the imaginary feline to the shelter, he claims he received a call from the cat's owner - "Louise." She was supposedly given his telephone number by the shelter.  "Louise" just wanted to call and thank him - from Florida - where she moved about six years ago. Good thing the imaginary cat had an imaginary microchip. 
The cat allegedly escaped from "Louise's" burning home and never returned. 
Halburn just had to point out that coincidentally, it was was only about 4 miles from where he lives now.

Good thing for "Louise" that she kept her cell number when she moved to Tampa JUST IN CASE the cat ever ever showed up again. "Louise" even wanted Halburn to be there so that she could thank him on Friday or Saturday when she arrived in West Virginia for the reunion.

Snowfall Amounts Across West Virginia

On Thursday, the 21st, on the eve of the biggest snowstorm in 20 years, he says "Louise" managed to get a flight from Orlando that connected into Huntington and was reunited with her LONG lost cat. 

More Bullshit. There was no flight from Orlando to Huntington on that day.
One flight from Charlotte arrived hours after he made his post. One flight was from Beckley. Two from Fedex Memphis. Both Cargo. One From Clearwater. Two others from Charlotte arrived at 10:19am & 3:40pm.
And if she lived in Tampa, why would she drive to Orlando to fly when it would be much easier to fly right out of Tampa?

And as for the heartbreaking reunion? As expected he had a convenient excuse about why he wasn't there. He was at work and couldn't attend the happy event. But luckily for him, they put it all on speakerphone so he could listen.
There would have been NOTHING that would have kept Halburn from that reunion. He thrives on attention and praise and he would have quit his job before missing it and dragged himself through broken glass to get there.

We're just surprised he didn't use his standard self-serving excuse of, "Grab your Kleenex. I really would like to share the heart warming pictures, but "Louise" requested that I keep them private."




A check with the Kanawha County Animal Shelter shows only two cats were brought in on that Wednesday, both by women.

New Hope in Putnam County isn't a public shelter that generally takes strays. Little Victories in Milton, isn't really a shelter either. It's a rescue.
His response to something like this will probably be, "I didn't SAY where it happened or WHICH no-kill shelter! Happy hunting!"

The most telling thing is that any animal shelter where something like this happened would be promoting the shit out of this if it were true. The publicity would be priceless. There hasn't been a peep from any shelter about this.

There was no cat. There was no "Louise" and there was no touching reunion.
Why does Halburn feel the need to pat himself on the back before his adoring audience of ass kissers?

And now, as Paul Harvey used to say, for the rest of the story.

His first post on the 19th about the non-existent cat just happened to show up hours after an almost identical story appeared on the web:

http://www.northjersey.com/news/cat-that-pulled-vanishing-act-will-return-to-owners-by-jet-1.1494857

Can you guess where he got the idea for his lie?

The real original story ran on the 16th.

http://www.newbernsj.com/article/20160116/NEWS/160119284

Cat's missing owners found — 1,800 miles away

He saw this somewhere before the AP picked it up.

Even the Gazette picked the story up on 1/28/16

http://www.wvgazettemail.com/life/20160128/man-drives-1700-miles-braves-blizzard-to-retrieve-lost-cat

If only something like that would happen around here.
All of his "memories" and "stories" are just co-opted events that happened to other people. 

Pat myself again

Another pat myself on the back incident. This time no doubt precipitated by the incident at Harbor Freight. These things always happen when Halburn has found himself in an embarrassing situation.

He says:
"Wednesday morning, on my way to an appointment, I drove by a home, in Dunbar, and saw a senior citizen that appeared to be taking a nap next to his home. Upon closer inspection, I suspected that he'd collapsed. I stopped my car and tried to wake him and learned he was unconscious. Thankfully, I had my cell phone and called 911 while others ran to the scene. We revived him while paramedics rolled and arrived. When I went back to my car, I realized that I hadn't even turned off the ignition. (I guess I was focused on the victim). Thankfully, I spoke to him later and he is OK. A diabetic who'd recently has his gall bladder removed, he says he over-exerted himself doing yard work. While I doubt there is an official study, I would love to learn how many lives have been saved by the availability of cell phones. We hear about texting and driving accidents, and those reports are terrible. However, I think the invention and use of cell phones are far more positive than negative. This can be a fun thread. How have cell phones had a positive impact in your life?"

First Tuesday In November

Mr. Douche Goes To Charleston
 
Mark Vance Halburn's long dreamed appeal of the final order of his divorce, issued by Kanawha County Family Court Judge Michael Kelly, was heard before the WV Supreme Court on Tuesday, and as expected, he beclowned himself.

Security was heightened in and around the courtroom for his appearance Tuesday, with extra Court officers on hand in the Court itself and at least 20 extra Troopers from the WV State Police in force across the Capitol grounds.

Halburn, who represented himself, came before the highest court in the state dressed once again like a homeless slob, immediately tried a sympathy ploy with his "I'm mostly deaf in one ear ..." excuse. This, from the man that claimed to be able to hear a pin drop in the Hurricane Walmart parking lot.

It was a trainwreck. 

The Court made it clear at the top this wasn't to introduce new evidence. Any attempts by Halburn to grandstand or shit talk were immediately shut down. No bullshit was tolerated at all.

Halburn presented his excuses while laying all over the historic lectern. Jeezus, you lazy bastard, can't you stand up straight for 10 minutes?

Halburn's case consisted not of pointing out of errors in the law made by Judge Kelly, but of him explaining how all the ass-showing incidents he has been involved with over the years were all misinterpreted. The airports, the hotel pools, the arrests, the restraining orders, etc.

We've heard all of the arguments before. First Amendment, my civil rights, dead mother, false testimony, half truths, exaggerations, yadda, yadda, yadda...

The arguments were streamed by the Court and you can be guaranteed their server was overloaded.

 
All the questioning was done by Chief Justice Brent Benjamin.

Surprisingly, Margaret Workman, a vocal child advocate, did not speak.

It had to be difficult for her to remain silent with a notorious domestic abuser before her.

Perhaps the court didn't want her to be a target in the event she's elected the next Chief Justice, which rotates every year. 

And, since Halburn will certainly petition for rehearing once he gets their opinion, she may be at the head of the Court that will deny that.

So, knowing that no woman tells Mark Halburn his business, it's possible they're just trying to stave off attacks on her.

Justice Menis Ketchum, a favorite target of Halburn's insane behavior, remained mute throughout.

It's almost like they all agreed beforehand that only the Chief would talk.

 

Justice Robin Davis was absent.

One of the first questions Benjamin asked Halburn was about a letter submitted to the court that was alleged to be from Judge Kelly. The fraudulent letter, in which he impersonates a judicial official, was referenced in Halburn's final divorce order, It was determined by the Family Court to have come from Halburn. It is shown here in its entirety.

April 27, 2012

Mr. Rory Perry

WV Supreme Court Clerk

Charleston. WV

I Michael J. Kelly have violated the rights of XXXXXX Halburn and Mark  Halburn. I allowed Henry Glass to repeatedly lied in court. I refused to allow Mark Halburn to correct Glass's lies and improperly threatened to throw Mark Halburn out of a conference call hearing. I have repeatedly refused to correct my improper temporary order. I violated XXXXXX Halburn's right to a Spring Break vacation in Myrtle Beach. I am an embarrassment to the legal profession.

Therefore, I immediately vacate my temporary order. I award Mark Halburn the marital home and full custody of XXXXXX Halburn immediately.

I then resign my position as Kanawha County Family Court judge due to my incompetency and arrogance. I agree to move to another state and never practice law or hold public office again.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Kelly

Halburn was asked repeatedly about the fake Kelly letter. Four times. Four. And each time he insisted someone hacked his email. He also said that the email that said that his son missed the opportunity to see his mother was  also sent by a hacker. 

The divorce order says the Kelly letter was submitted. Does not at all say emailed. It says the letter was submitted.  And looking at the letter, it is clearly written as a business letter, not as an email.

Benjamin wanted to know why the language in Halburn's motion was the same as the letter that purported to be from Michael Kelly? He specifically hit on how this letter specifically cites Spring Break and Myrtle Beach and Halburn's motions do as well, especially in light of all of this happening after Halburn had relocated to Myrtle Beach.

Halburn's response?  Blah, blah, blah, dodge, dodge, hack, hacked, hacked, hacked, I have proof I was hacked, I didn't send that email, I was set up by blogs. He alleges that he filed a police report in Fullerton CA. Why there he offered no explanation.

He had FOUR opportunities to come clean.

Halburn actually brought up the voices in his head when he was trying to defend how he would never send anything like that to the court. He said something to the effect of "You can even ask Steve Canterbury that when I was in Poca at Heritage Days and I heard a voice behind me asking me if I wanted them to take care of Watkins or the court that I told him to try to protect the court.

There is no way to describe the level of insane.

Halburn was then asked where he lived when he came back from failing as a part-time bait counter help in South Carolina. Halburn quickly went into a story about having to move to South Carolina because he was "hurting" and finally got around to saying "Dunbar." Benjamin asked two additional times if he had lived anywhere else besides Dunbar after he moved back to West Virginia from South Carolina. It was never in the order that he lived with a kiddie diddler, but the Court knows he did. So they asked. A few times. Each time he insisted he had lived only in Dunbar.

When asked on several occasions how many times he's been arrested since his divorce appeal Halburn begrudgingly had to acknowledge his arrest, but couched everything with how it's still unresolved. Halburn was convicted and sentenced to 45 days in jail but is appealing.

Halburn was asked about what he owed and if he was paying, and he replied he was paying early and more than the required amount. and by more, he means he rounds up to the next dollar. Mr. Generous. Then he complained about having to pay his part of the boy's medical bills for an ER visit.

At one point Halburn asked for a show of hands, like he was on a game show.

Justice Allen Loughry, making his only statement of the day, told Halburn that the Court wasn't answering questions and to get on with it.

Halburn's second ex-wife holds her head as he tries to engage Supreme Court Justices.

Halburn also claimed to not know where his son goes after school -- saying specifically "I don't know where he goes" -- but also claimed he was told the boy goes to sit at his mothers office where a 10-year-old child "watches" him. Another lie. He knows good and well where the boy goes because he and his child molesting buddy followed the school bus there to serve the mother with a summons.

Toward the end of his "rebuttal" to Ms M's testimony, Halburn then went on a rant about how he doesn't know why Ms. M says he says he would take her son to California and never come home. 

In a back and forth about how Kelly order said the visitation situation would be re-evaluated when he was 10, which gave Halburn 4 years to get his shit together, Ms. M said the boy is already fighting her about going to Daddy's house on weekends and she's making him do it. 

She's in no way, shape or form preventing or hindering his relationship with the child. Not at all.

And the mental evaluation that he trumpets over and over as calling him parent of the year actually says he's ignoring the kid. It actually says that he isn't interacting with him.

"This examiner notes having had a brief, unplanned opportunity to observe Mr. Halburn with his son the day following his initial evaluation. Mr. Halburn and (the boy) were visiting a local park. It is believed that Mr. Halburn was unaware of this examiner's presence at the same park. Mr. Halburn... was not actively interacting with him at the time of the observation."

The Court pointed out he's had two court ordered psych exams. One by Hudson and one by Thistlewait for the Walmart litigation.

And immediately Halburn went on defensive saying that Thistlewait was a "hired gun with zero credibility" and he was hired specifically to libel him, etc. 

The Court wasn't having any of it.

As Ms. M pointed out, they both essentially said the same thing. One just said it much more sharply.

Halburn did actually admit that his sole reason of choosing My Family Day Care was an ad trade-out and alleged that Ms. M's only reason for removing the boy from there was to damage his advertising relation with that business.

In trying to spin an 2008 airport incident where he and his family were kicked off a plane, he name drops Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade.

BRIAN FUCKING KILMEADE.

This may have been the part where Allen Loughry started to laugh.

Another highlight was referencing how he wanted to move back to California and live a block down from Richard Nixon and go surfing.
Note to Halburn: Nixon has been dead for almost 20 years.

Then the MOTHERFUCKER DROPS A DELOREAN REFERENCE IN HIS SUPREME COURT HEARING!!!

Explaining it by saying, "That was humor" 

The only problem was that nobody laughed.

The only thing he left off was how he and Michael J. Fox were in Back to the Future together... Until they re-shot the scene where Halburn and his mom walked out of the J.C. Penney and into the shopping mall parking lot... So, he only made it to the cutting room floor!

Halburn came close to losing control at one point when talking about Kelly, he shouted, "He's a lying..." before stopping himself.

Toward the end, Halburn exhibited a case of fake crying.

Tyler Hollywood even got a sideways hat tip when the judge asked about a $20,000 that he made for Halburn's blog

Halburn's second ex-wife also represented herself.

She was extremely sympathetic, credible and did a very good job presenting her case.
Her main point was that the well being of the child comes first. NOT Mark Halburn's wants.

She expressed the anxiety she felt when Putnam County Circuit Court Judge Philip Stowers loosened up the travel and overnight restrictions Halburn had against taking the child out of state on weekends. She brought up his May 2013 car wreck with the child in the car. And that she doesn't know what really happened. She even was generous to say that she doesn't blame Halburn at all for what happened, because the fact remains that she doesn't actually KNOW what happened.

All she "knows" is that he insists it was a hit and run.

Here's what we think. Fatman fucks around on phone, hits divider wall, endangers child, blames someone else.

Her testimony was STRONG to tie everything to money. She referenced several motions and orders he'd filed in which each one demanded some kind of financial compensation -- $65,000 for a "settlement," $3,000 a month in spousal support, $1 million in sanctions against her lawyer, $10 billion in punitive damages for other things.

That was a great move on her part, because those Justices aren't dumb. Anybody who reads those motions can see that custody of that child equals money to him. It's a meal ticket to continue to pretend he's a big important newsman. The loving father barely mentions the boy by name.

This the end of the road for Halburn's appeal. There is no federal avenue of appeal here. He has no legal standing to bring it before the United States Supreme Court because there are no federal implications in this case. He can scream civil rights all he wants, but "fat, white, mentally unstable divorced guy" isn't a protected class.

Mark Halburn's Court run ends here, but we predict Ms. M will be in family court six times a year until he goes to jail or dies. Or he kidnaps the kid and tries to disappear.

 

Court watchers say the word immediately after the hearing was that this was probably the first time anybody had actually HURT their efforts by demanding an appeal. He did himself no favors.

An opinion is expected before the term ends in another two to three weeks.
The outcome will not be favorable for Mark Vance Halburn. By the end of the year he will be eating a big bucket of legal fail.

Here are the last 16 minutes of the oral arguments before the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia of Halburn's divorce appeal.

The WV Supreme Court case number is 13-0591, Mark H. v. DM.

PutnamLIES.com will have more as it becomes available.

Samaritan Or Liar?

Halburn Claims To Be Lifesaver
PutnamLIES.com Exposes Hoax

Monday, PutnamLIES.com got this screen grab in the morning mail.

Here's the story.
Very early on the morning of August 19, PsychoPublisher Halburn posted this on his Facebook page.

Some say Halburn should be honored as a "hometown hero."

Who says that?

No one.

Not even Halburn.
He says, "I seek no recognition for helping people."
Except from the sycophants he's befriended on Facebook.

Then why post it? Especially at 2:10 AM?
What's his real motivation?

Simple.
Image crafting and narcissism.
Perhaps the real reason is that he did it was to gain sympathy because he could have gone to jail Monday. Maybe the judge would give a life saving samaritan a break.

Touching, isn't it? The problem? It's all bullshit!

The Sunday, August 18 America concert was part of the Parkersburg annual homecoming. Along the riverfront. Maybe 6 or so miles off I77.
America played at 8. Which means he was on the road home by no later than 11. Which means this wreck happened sometime between then and midnight or a little later.

Wood County knows nothing about a crash.
Jackson and Kanawha don't either.
Neither do any of the counties in Ohio.
It wasn't on the WV 77 twitter feed or the WV511 twitter feed.

Bottom line is, a rollover anywhere gets police and EMS. Someone would be able to tell you if a rollover happened anywhere between there and here.

Even if there were no fatalities, there absolutely would have been news coverage of a rollover accident involving 5 people.

No TV reports.
No radio reports.
No newspaper reports.

Nobody has a record of it even happening.

If any of our readers knows about this "accident," please send us the information.

"If mom makes it."
"Is my mommy going to die."
What a fucking sick bastard.

How sick you have to be to make something like that up?

So how about it fatboy?

Let's hear your brave story of heroism.

Let's hear how, equipped only with a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher, you disregarded your own personal safety and bravely led the rescue of 5 injured motorists, all the while struggling to remain in control of your delicate emotions.

You're a brave hero and we'd like to notify the local news stations to get them to do a story about your selfless bravery.

How about some detail, like when & where it actually happened or the names of the responding agencies or the other samaritans so we could honor everybody?

You can't do it because your story is bullshit. It never happened.
Or maybe it did. Prove us wrong. Provide some scintilla of proof.

We're sure he'll have some explanation.

Halburn's excuses? Maybe he'll say, "I never SAID it was along the interstate."
Maybe he'll pull out the old "Oh! But I went home the Ohio way! I went down to Gallipolis and picked up 35 home to go back to Dunbar" story out of his ass.
Even though it would take at least a half hour longer in the dark and fog and he'd have to drive the deadly Route 35. The same road he was avoiding when he had his "accident" on I64 on the way back from King's Island in May.

When those excuses fall through he'll claim he made a side trip to Delaware. He's running out of options. There are a million ways he will attempt to weasel out of this.

The only way that this story could be less believable would have been for him to say, "the the West Virginia State Police Superintendent called me at home to personally thank me for saving that family's life, and shared with me the little girl's name-Sarah Nicole."

Every time you think he couldn't possibly be more batshit crazy, he goes and does something that proves you wrong.

Halburn has been caught yet again in another blatant self serving lie to try and make himself look good.
Shame.

9/2 UPDATE:
True to form, it takes Halburn two weeks to think up an excuse. And as predicted it's a variation on the "I went home a different way" story.

On 9/1 he posted this on his Facebook page:

"Here's what the trash bloggers missed: After the America concert I took some friends home far away from Parkersburg. That accounts for the time difference... And the location difference... Happy hunting!!!"

 

9/11 UPDATE:

And AS PREDICTED he has now trotted out the side trip lie.
It took him an additional week after his previous lie didn't work..

On 9/11 he posted another attempt at an explanation on his Facebook page.

"The trash blogger is still talking about the accident after the America concert. He needs a life... And he needs to stop assuming that I was on my way HOME after the concert! First, I took some friends home to another part of West Virginia... On my way to... drumroll please... to another state for a day trip... Happy hunting!!!"

Every time he brings this back up, after almost a month, it makes the story look less and less truthful.
Why the constant need to justify it happened? Because someone, somewhere, challenged him on it in real life. He ignored his Facebook friends' questions the last time. He not going to answer anyone this time, either.

I guess he left off the part where he was going to say,
"What these trash bloggers don't know is I am personal friends with Joe Biden and we had lunch in Delaware the next day."
Probably for security reasons.

9/12 UPDATE:
Halburn called in to the Tyler Hollywood Show tonight and claimed that the "accident" happened "on the interstate" in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Which means either I-70 or I-79.

Once this lie is proven wrong, the next thing the Hog With A Blog™ will say is he gave Tyler a fake location to, quote, MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A FOOL ON HIS OWN SHOW!!!

9/18 UPDATE: 

Exactly one month to the day after the imaginary accident, a Washington County, Pennsylvania  911 spokesperson confirmed what we already knew:
"We checked our CAD records and have no record of an accident (on I-70 or I-79) during that time frame." 

So there you have it.
Game. Set. Match.

We continue to call bullshit. You're STILL a liar, Halburn. and we just proved it.
The fact remains that there were no accidents like the one you described on that Sunday night in West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia or Delaware, regardless of how far away your imaginary friends live from Parkersburg.
Like many of his FB friends, we'd also like to know why he's trying to claim credit for something that never happened? 
Maybe the reason he believes this is because it was a vivid dream or some kind of fucked up fugue state. Maybe he got a hold of some bad acid or had a few too many Bartles and Jaymes at the America concert.
Whatever it was, it's still a lie.

Keep digging that hole, shithead.

Mark Hallburn Uses Image Of Dead Child To Advance His Vendetta

Lower Than Low

In his continuing vendetta against Putnam County Prosecutor Mark Sorsaia, last week PutnumLive.com publisher Mark Hallburn sunk to a new low, even for him. Halburn frequents the ghetto of the internet, a website called Topix, where he posts under at least a hundred different assumed names, known in the computer world as sock puppets.

On Jan 1, in a topic named "Putnam Judge" about Sorsaia possibly running for the seat of retiring judge O.C. Spaulding, Halburn began his attacks by using the name "Not Sorsaia" in several posts. He started by assailing Sorsaia for not prosecuting those who have denied Hallburn's freedom of information requests. Halburn is unwilling to avail himself of civil remedies, preferring instead to harangue Sorsaia over the matter. He has been whining about this for years.

His next line of attack was to bring up the Logan Goodall case, a local boy who was sexually abused and murdered by his mother's boyfriend in 2005.

Then on January 2, he adopted the moniker "RememberingLogan" including a picture of Logan next to his user name.

He then posted simultaneously under both names. His first post under that name was a continuation of his previous attacks.
"Sorsaia let Pepper Eren cop a plea deal. As long as she is walking the streets Sorsaia is not fit to hold public office."

And then the really egregious part came. Adopting the persona of the murdered little boy, he wrote, "Mark Sorsaia let my mommy off easy. I deserve justice. I didn't get justice from Mark Sorsaia. "



And then,
"There's no justice in Putnam County as long as Sorsaia is around. "

Later, in response to those comments, another reader started a topic entitled "Mark Halburn using image of dead child to further agenda". Commenters excoriated Halburn for using the little boy for his own personal gain. Halburn had that topic removed.

It was then put up a second time with similar results. Halburn was roundly criticized again for his actions. He had that one taken down as well.

Virtually every comment readers have made there about him posting as RememberingLogan has been pulled.

Why are you doing that Mark? Ashamed about what you wrote? Afraid it exposes you as the self-centered monster that you really are?

Well, it's not going to happen here.

Halburn had them removed because he knew he'd be called out for doing such a despicable thing.
Mark Halburn has done many low things in his miserable life, but this one takes the pancake.

Did he attack DHHR Child Protective Services for failing to follow through on their investigation into an anonymous report that the child was being abused in August 2005?

Did he attack the Kanawha Prosecutor for letting Merrifield's father and mother off with a slap on the wrist?

No.

He attacked the man whose office convicted Pepper Eren of felony child neglect and convicted the boyfriend, Michael Merrifield of first-degree murder, sexual abuse by a parent or guardian, and death by a parent or guardian and got a sentence of life without mercy.  
Mark Sorsaia's office convicted both of these animals.

Eren served five years for her crime and has since been released from prison. That was the crime for which she was convicted. Obviously the evidence was not there to charge her with anything stronger or Sorsaia would have done so. Which is better, to convict for neglect or let someone walk because there's not enough to convict for murder?

Why would someone do something so crass, so tasteless, as to use the name and picture of a murdered child? He did this for one reason.
To further a selfish, petty political vendetta he has against Mark Sorsaia. It has nothing to do with the poor little boy. It is just another opportunity to try and slam Sorsaia. Justice was done except for Merrifield's parents. But he doesn't bring that up. It wasn't Sorsaia's case, there is nothing in it for Halburn, so he doesn't care.

Of course, this is nothing new for someone that trots out his stillborn aborted daughter as a sympathy crutch whenever he needs to. Seriously, how many sane people have their dead daughter listed as a friend on their Facebook page?

Mark, do you think it's ethical to use a murdered child's picture for your personal gain? To pretend that you speak for him?
How disrespectful can you be to the memory of a little guy that suffered enough?
The family of Logan Goodall should track you down and beat you like a rented mule.

You are a truly horrible person Hallburn. This is exactly the type of tactic that your wife divorced you over.

We worry about the safety of your soon to be second ex-wife and her child. You have already made your son a public pawn in your divorce proceedings. She should seek a restraining order against you now. She shouldn't wait until the divorce is final.

Shame on you Mark Hallburn. Shame on you. The fires of hell don't burn hot enough for you.
Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

If you've got an explanation, we'd like to hear it.

You're a cancer on humanity.
Leave our state now.
Get out.
