Fear in the Roanoke Valley of Virginia

By: D C Graham

In the fall of 1994, as soon as the murders of an whole family was found, the Chief State Police Investigator Barry Keesee determined that their best acquaintance, their solitary friend, was the killer. This was with no evidence to support that supposition but he was after Earl Bramblett.
Earl Bramblett, years before, had became acquainted with a lot of youngsters when he owned a print business in a run-down region of Roanoke Virginia. Two of these young people stuck together and called Bramblett, even after the shop was closed, to take them places to where there was no bus service or other ways of getting there. Usually their friends house or a party on the other side of city. These two teenagers were always in trouble with the police or truant officers and their family and one day they couldn't be found.
The natural suspicion was that the man they had been seen in the car with was the primary suspect. The police investigated Bramblett exhaustively and could find nothing linking him to their disappearance, going so far as digging up a new cement patio he had just made at the lake side house he owned.
When these murders were discovered, the Investigator Barry Keesee, went immediately to Bramblett's place of employment on his suspicions. At no time during the next two years before Bramblett was charged in South Carolina was anyone told of this visit. Why? Because it would destroy Keesee's lie that he didn't know Bramblett and he didn't know it was not a murder/suicide, the lies he told to arrest Bramblett.
For two years they did not have enough evidence to apprehend Bramblett for these murders. Until Keesee got in touch with the firearms examiner that inspected a weapon claimed to be the murder weapon much later. Asking, or coercing, him to lie and say it could be the murder weapon. This was the lie that led to Bramblett's arrest. Long after the trial this firearms examiner claimed he lied about the gun.
The Commonwealth Attorney F.W. Skip Burkart sealed Bramblett's doom by furnishing lies in his opening and closing statements that would equal Keesee's in saying Bramblett was guilty.
One other big hoax in Bramblett's trial was the video tape made of trucks purporting to be Bramblett's. It was under poles apart lighting conditions, different time of the year and using trucks different Bramblett's. Yet with this phony video, the judge, Roy Willett, allowed the tape to be played and the lawyers, hypothetical to be representing Bramblett, sat without objection to anything Burkart brought up.
Earl Bramblett was executed by the Commonwealth of Virginia by the lies these men, and others, told to convict him. This should be an outrage but the Roanoke Valley, where the phony trial took place, are too scared of authority to speak out against anything. The Roanoke Times newspaper is in the pocket of the powers that be and never report anything except it is sent in from the politicians, police, or city government officials.
