Location of where Kaelin's body was found The Book's Prologue Prologue February 6, 2001 "The Murder of Kaelin” is a true story mixing place and characters. Part of the chronicle that follows is a tall tale, while some is real, with much of the storyline caught in between. Some of Kaelin’s characters and places are fictional, though they do represent certain people and the way they truly exist, both then and now. Many of the names have been changed or have been altered for obvious reasons. This story exhibits some hard clues or various pieces of substantial evidence outlining a gruesome murder, which took place in a rural Oregon county in the late fall of 1996. From best guess, it can be surmised that the murder of a young girl, itself took place somewhere in the mountain ranges, and the body was pillaged and dumped. Over time, the effects of decay and animals gnawed away at the evidence. One of the real issues portrayed in “Kaelin” is that people in the county where she was raised knew the girl and loved her. Some of the locals were quite close to her. Many of them continue to miss her young womanly charms. At fifteen, Kaelin had quite a reputation with both the adult population and her many peers. Her mother, Peggy T. Bradley, married twice and gave birth to three more children after Kaelin’s father disappeared some time during the mid-1980s. Peggy was a chiseled-face, classically built countrywoman from German stock, with long auburn hair. Somewhere in her middle-forties, Peggy loved and was extremely devoted to all her children. Although she usually kept to herself and her own family, Peggy’s entire family’s history went back one hundred and fifty years in the river valley where she and all her children were raised. They were pioneers, native Easterner/Westerner all mixed into one strong family alliance, the Bork family. In many ways, Peggy and Kaelin Bork (her oldest daughter), were outcasts in the valley, mainly due to the fact that most of the Bork’s had otherwise achieved wealth or social status. Although Peggy was an educated woman, she was nonetheless poor. She was the type of woman whom the rest of the family would avoid in a small town the size of Pullman, Washington. Peggy’s first cousin, Lucinda Bork kept her name for nearly twenty years after she was married to Sheriff Miles T. Carson’s brother, Will. Lucinda and Will were greatly in love when they first met. Their happy relationship continued for a good ten years of marriage. After that period of time, both partners in the marriage started to discover who they actually were and their marriage became radically independent. Lucinda and Peggy Bradley were nieces of Nathan Bork, the most famous and powerful man in the county. Nathan was a rancher, hunter, businessman, and fisherman. He served as county commissioner for five terms before settling down as a rancher at the ripe old age of seventy. It could be said that the valley was a mix of some odd and some old homestead families. Still, there were the new families coming in from Washington. A few of them were small-business type people; however, there was a dash of other sorts, ranging from general laborers to skilled carpenters. Miles T. Carson was the dominant law force in Wallowa County, a county that was very rural and somewhat poor. He had strong personal connections in Pullman, Pendleton, Portland, and Spokane. Miles was a rural sheriff with a flair for the modern. As sheriff, he used his powers both internally and externally to get what he wanted. Sheriff Carson’s goal was to get what he knew could be done within the community politics. All municipal employees had to watch themselves in regard to the county ‘powers’ that literally controlled the valley. Miles was a perfect servant of those powers, and that went for most of his staff, with the exception of Buck Parrish, who thwarted a ‘cut’ of independence above all local citizens. Buck Parrish was an ex-rodeo bronc rider who became a deputy sheriff in 1985 after a wild Appaloosa crushed his ear and part of his skull in the “Pendleton Roundup” of 1983. People said Buck had a small metal plate buried in the side of his head. The plate caused him to be stubborn as a mule and he was plagued with severe headaches. It’s said that when old Buck got onto something, he was like a small tick on a big dog, one would have to pull him off with large tweezers. In 1996, Kaelin Jones disappeared from the valley. Her body was never recovered. During the years in between Kaelin’s disappearance and her recovery, clues began appearing. The clues suggested a possible murder, in the same way as something quite strange emerging from the deep bat caverns and old mining shafts that were dug during the turn of the century. Some of the information regarding Kaelin’s murder was hearsay, while other data was hard forensic fact. Yet other ‘stuff’ came from a local psychic’s haunting dream image, vivid details of the child’s raw murder. No one knew exactly how the investigation started or who tipped it off, but by the time it ended; solid proof that a murder had been committed was now without question. Kaelin Jones had been brutally and crudely slaughtered in our valley during the late weeks of October 1996. The community chronicle depicts actual events, with names and places changed to protect people who did their public duty without concern for their own well-being. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PRESS RELEASE **For Immediate Release** June 23, 2007 EDITORS: For review copies or interview requests, contact: Thomas Freudiger, Entry Way Marketing For more details visit: Digi-Tall Media or Entry Way Marketing and Entry Way Publishing Email: entrywaypublish@aol.com Tel: 972-517-6513 “A Masterpiece of Macabre Intrigue Accented with Ghostly Finesse” SOUTHERN, OR — From the author, who brought you the artistic demise of western civilization in Compromised Positions, comes another tale of dark and diabolical fantasy. Based on true accounts, the author, Steve Dreben takes you with this story into the rugged secluded backwoods of the Umatilla National Forest area, in northeastern Oregon. It is here Dreben introduces us to a world not meant to be seen by outsiders. To the untrained eye and for all general purposes, the rural community is a picturesque setting of rustic country life. Dominated by church, school, family and the American values, the good citizens of this community take their civic duties quite seriously. If you look a little closer though, you will find that things aren’t quite what they seem to be. Something is slightly ajar, incomplete, and warped. With a touch of intrigue, you will suddenly realize, it is all deeply and darkly gone bad, in fact, very, very bad. What starts out as a routine case of a missing teenage girl, known as Kaelin, quickly unravels the tangled web of deceit and immoral activities, seeping just below the surface. As the investigation continues into Kaelin’s disappearance, the lines are quickly drawn between the forces of good and the forces of darkness. Through a host of well-developed and vividly detailed characters, the story unfolds with devilish delight. Also through the use of psychics, modern forensics and good old fashioned police work, the tale comes to a fevered summit, then plunges into the crevice of its summation. In the end, the reader makes the final discovery that all is not what it seemed and his story leaves you wanting more. This exciting read takes two central characters and delves deeply into the mystical transitions of life and the mysteries of death… dreams to evidence can take metaphysical paths.
