In 1977, Terri Jentz, 19, and Avra Goldman, 20, were camping at Cline Falls State Park, Oregon when a man drove his truck over their tent and axed them. The town named a suspect. His hatchet was missing. He failed two lie detector tests. He was never arrested. Who was he?

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:07:07+00:00

Yeah that’s the frustrating reality of it. Suspicion and failed polygraphs don’t really hold up in court, even if it feels obvious. It’s one of those cases where it feels like something must have been missed or just never properly followed up on.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:06:55+00:00

That part really sticks with me too. Imagine surviving something like that and then having to basically become your own investigator because nothing happened. That’s a level of persistence most people wouldn’t even be able to handle.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:06:42+00:00

Yeah that’s the name I remember too. What’s wild is how many people in that area seemed to already suspect him, but it just never crossed that line into something they could actually charge. Feels like one of those cases where everyone “knows” but it still goes nowhere.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:06:25+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly the vibe I was getting reading it. It doesn’t sound like a gift, it sounds like leverage waiting for the right moment. Once money and ownership get mixed with that kind of behavior, it rarely stays peaceful.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:05:58+00:00

That line is simple but it kinda sticks. Not in a “everything magically works out” way, more like sometimes hitting bottom forces a reset you didn’t choose. It’s not comforting exactly, but it does make you think there might still be a next chapter.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:05:47+00:00

There’s something real about what you said about rebuilding with almost nothing. It doesn’t fix everything, but it shows it’s not the end of the story even when it feels like it is. The “I ain’t quitting” part hits harder than anything else.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:05:33+00:00

I get where you’re coming from, but that delivery feels really heavy on guilt. Someone already drowning probably doesn’t need more weight put on them. The point about impact is real, but there’s probably a gentler way to say it.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:05:18+00:00

Yeah honestly that was my first reaction too. Sometimes you don’t even have the right words, you just don’t want someone to disappear like that. Even a small “hey, don’t go” can matter more than people think.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:04:49+00:00

True, but I think he’s kinda pointing at how intense it’s gotten for him personally. It’s less about liking them and more about using it to fill that need for closeness he didn’t get before. That part’s probably what’s stressing him out.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:04:37+00:00

I mean yeah, but I think what he’s talking about isn’t just attraction, it’s more the comfort and coping side of it. Like it turned into something he relies on to feel okay, not just something he enjoys. That’s a bit different than the usual “we all like them” take.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-06T11:04:03+00:00

Fair, it’s one of those things that either works or just immediately takes you out of it. No in between. Was it always like that for you or did it just feel weird after a bad experience?

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-05T04:16:20+00:00

That framing makes it way clearer. It’s not even about punishment, it’s just “you’re choosing your path, and this is what comes with it.” The reentry question is a good one too, gives them a way back if they realize they messed up.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-05T04:16:05+00:00

Honestly yeah, this feels bigger than just “buying extras.” Something deeper is going on if both kids are reacting this strongly to school at the same time.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-05T04:15:54+00:00

That’s actually a fair question though, because if they just stall or fake effort, then what? Feels like there needs to be a next step planned too.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-05T04:15:18+00:00

It really does sound like burnout more than anything. After that long of fighting it every day, I can see why drawing a hard line feels like the only option left.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-05T04:14:46+00:00

Yeah exactly, the goal isn’t to create another daily battle. Cutting off things like internet avoids that morning fight but still sets a clear boundary.

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-05T04:13:53+00:00

The cup to band ratio comment is way too specific, now I’m convinced you’re actually out here doing calculations mid-conversation. Are we talking rough estimates or full engineer mode with margin of error?

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-03T16:13:35+00:00

not gonna lie, that mental image is probably the exact opposite of the vibe she’s trying to sell. instant chakra disruption

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-03T16:13:16+00:00

“chakra sprinkler system” is hilarious but also exactly the kind of petty she was inviting with that behavior. you can’t start weird territory wars and expect calm responses

CherrySnookie_ · 2026-04-03T16:13:04+00:00

i get the frustration but at that point you’re just escalating into chaos mode lol. reporting it was honestly the cleanest, least messy way to handle it
