    Christopher Hughes

    What went wrong with Christopher Hughes?

    Was he just a bad apple, genetically pre-determined to snap sometime?

    The youngest son of Laura Hughes Doyle, 17-year-old Christopher had been involved with the law for a while, stealing the family car, getting in trouble for drug use, and slapping his 44-year-old mom around.

    According to a neighbor:

    “Her son was always kicked out of school, in and out of schools, different schools. They sent him to military school from what I heard.”

    It didn’t seem that the military school helped.

    This 17-year-old wunderkind took the .22 pistol his dad had given him for his birthday and shot his mother, Laura Hughes Doyle, at least three times in the head and at least twice in the body.

    After Christopher Hughes shot Laura, he dragged his mother’s bleeding body out of the trailer park home they shared and over to a convenient pile of trash, where Christopher set the person who had given birth to him on fire and left her.

    Then he took her bank card and went on a three-week spending spree, buying pretty much what you would imagine a 17-year-old would buy – stereo equipment, paintball stuff, video games, car accessories.

    Christopher Hughes spent about $7000 while his mother’s body decomposed within throwing distance.

    When other family members noticed that she was missing and called police, Christopher told them she had moved out west – out to California.

    After a search of the house revealed personal items of Laura’s, items that no woman would leave at home while they were on vacation for any length of time, police became suspicious.

    Christopher Hughes was arrested a month after he killed his mother.

      where did you get your information from? there has not been a trial yet so none of what you have written is fact at this point in time. what ever happend to innocent until proven guilty? one more thing where do you get off printing a minors name?

    2. Randy Hughes says:

      Message from the brother of the accused——

      I am COMPLETELY appalled,discussted,and completely sickend by the fact that my little

      brother has not had a chance to be tried by a jury before everyone from Brownsville to

      the tip top of Texas has him already CONVICTED!!! What happend to the days of TRIAL

      BY JURY? What happend to innocent untill PROVEN guilty? What happend to HUMAN

      DECENCY? It is upsetting to no degree that my family and I have recieved NO HELP –

      NONE— ZIP—ZERO help, from the TEXAS RANGERS, the FBI, or anyone else in this matter.

      NO ONE WANTS TO HELP.

      There are still phone calls and meetings with people in the state to try to help us.
      Everyone has said from the start, EVEN BEFORE the body could be determined if it was

      male or female that my little brother was the one that did it.

      I’m not saying he did, I’m not saying he didn’t….THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT WILL PROVE

      THAT. NOT WHAT PEOPLE SAY OR THINK !!!!!!!

      NOT STORIES OF HOW HE “WOULD HAVE” OR ” COULD HAVE” … THE –EVIDENCE– WILL

      PROVE IF HE DID OR DIDN’T !!!!!!!

      And have we all forgot the saying– “judge not unless ye be judged” ?

      It’s nice how everyone is so quick to SIN someone else to Hell.

      I am not impressed with Hidalgo County or with the way they chose to handle the

      investigation. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN FACT !!!! — I HAVE A BIG MOUTH AND I’M NOT

      AFRAID TO TELL HOW IT IS!!!!!

      I am ristricted in telling the details of the evidence or details of the investigation to the

      general public due to legal repercussions to myself.

      This is unfortunate, because I would LOVE to TELL EVERYONE what is going on and how

      things are being handled.

      We have currently started talks with state officials about this matter and I hope and

      prey that they help.

      The truth is out there! It will be found. I have no mercy for anyone that has something to

      do with the death of my mother.

      Everyone has their opinions of things, and I understand this, but you should not base

      your opinion of ANYTHING untill you have all the facts in front of you.

      My family and I have suffered a loss that no words can describe, and far to many in this

      world know the feeling of loosing a loved one in this manner.

      This was no accident.What happend to my mother was intentional and I hope and

      prey that our call for help to bring whom ever is responcible to justice.

      I will now sin myself to hell and prey that God takes no mercy on the soul of who is

      responcible!

      My little brother now faces no “fair” trial in the state of Texas due to all the articals and

      lies and unjust statements that have been plastered in the news.

      What a lovely world we all live in………

      Give the boy his day in court, and lets ALL see what happens.

      I still wonder how the people from the media sleep at night by writting stories like this.

      Our sociaty has brought it’s self to no morals, no conscience, and no clue or concern to

      peoples feelings.

      Special thanks goes to:

      Hidalgo County- for all the stress
      Hidalgo County- for all the lies
      Hidalgo County- for letting the family and I find out it WAS my mom through the MEDIA
      The Texas Rangers- for the total lack of intrest
      The FBI- For just not caring
      The media- For telling lies and not getting the facts
      The media- For telling the names of minors
      misc. people- For telling lies and spreading rumors in attempts to feel special
      misc. people- For the stress and aggravation that it causes
      EVERYONE- For condemning my little brother before all the facts are in.

      Take a look around people. See the world we live in. See it for what it really is.

      Then when something goes wrong…and when there is no where to turn…..and you

      can’t get any help……everyone closes the door….hangs up on you….ignores you….and

      flat out lies to you……

      Give your self a pat on the back….you , me , and every other voter, has let this world

      turn into a pile of crap.

      Our family needs HELP!!!!

      Private investigators- State officials- Attorney General – SOMEONE!!!!!

      If you are willing to donate time and serious effort to help in this matter please contact

      our family.

      We are not wealthy, we can’t afford $35,000 to secure attorneys left and right in a

      matter like this. (and thats only for starters).

      I will post this on as many web sites that post this and relating stories about this as

      possible.

      Randy “Hughes”

      • The Danger Zone says:

        Let me help you out here Randy “Hughes”. He’s being tried as an adult. That means he is no longer under the rule of his parents. Thereby, the media gets to treat him like an adult also.

        Your Mother gave birth to you, she held you to her breast and fed you from her body. She held you close when you hurt, she was stern when she needed to be, she taught you right form wrong. Now, you are defending the very person who killed her. Good job.

        And since your not afraid to run your big mouth as you so eloquently said. Why are you afraid to post on here the true facts, if we have them so wrong, due to possible repurcussions against you? Oh, that stance only works until you could be forced to pay for your actions. Then you play nicely and as your ordered.

        If there is a hypocrite involved in this case it is you. Please exit the fora through the door to hell on the left.

        • Princton says:

          No I wasn’t there! Were you? And don’t you worry about my mental welfare… I’m defending my friend! You’re the idiots who are polling on something that you know nothing about! Maybe you should worry about your mental welfare when your making assumtions about someone elses actions!

      • FunkDupp says:

        “THIS IS A WELL KNOWN FACT !!!! — I HAVE A BIG MOUTH AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO TELL HOW IT IS!!!!!”

        What gives you this right but no one else. Go cry to some one else idiot. No sympathy here dick wad.

      • Courtney says:

        Wow, Randy. When i first hear what happened to Loli, what could i do? what was everyone else doing? even the people who didnt know her? what about her grandkids? and her family THAT LOVED HER?
        I am not a person to wish death upon anyone but i am a person you and your brothers know very well & i hope you have the worst rest of your life, i hope you fuckin get burned alive!
        what happened to your mom is – unacceptable! she was one of the best women out there!!!!! what the hell is wrong with yall?!! she gave yall everything yall wanted! She may not have been the best but i know damn well she didnt deserve what yall did to her!
        You will be in hell right next to chris and i hope yall get everything yall deserve, fucking idiots!

    3. em says:

      not sure if in america its the same as here but the jury are hand picked and questioned about how much they do and dont know so anything anyone writes or says will make no difference u say thanks to everyone as if the world owes u a living we all have shit in our lives n we all have to deal with it so i suggest u stop wasting time trying to defend the defendant and start using that time to find a lawyer who can do it properly.Oh and the best form of defence is attack n thats exactly what ur doing so be careful or you could dig his grave for him

    4. admin says:

      Most trials never get to the point where the offender sees a jury. Most offenders plead to a lesser charge.

    5. Brittany says:

      that homeboy was a lil mad there huh?

    6. MIKE says:

      A South Texas teen was sentenced to 45 years in prison Tuesday after being convicted of murder in the death of his mother, whose body was burned and dumped in a field after she was shot eight times.

      Christopher Hughes, 18, sat stoically as the jury returned the murder verdict and showed little emotion during the penalty phase of the trial as family and friends testified, The (McAllen) Monitor reported in its online edition.

      Prosecutors said Hughes shot Laura Hughes Doyle, 44, in April 2007 to get access to thousands of dollars in life insurance money she received after her husband had died of cancer.

      • Amy says:

        Mayabe this update will shut Randy Hughes up.

      • Max The Cat says:

        Wow, what a dick, eh? This is why I love the Texas criminal justice system. 45 years. Bang! No screwing around. Although, the motto in all Texas courtrooms in a tiny bit scary sometimes.
        ” Convict ‘em all, let God sort it out!”

    7. Thunder says:

      “Godbless Texas” They was not stupid to the BS this teen did to his MOMMA but if you ask me He should have got charged for “capital murder” I don’t feel sorry for him at all but I do feel sorry for HER and FAMILY and other that knew of her.She suffered and now it’s his turn to burn in HELL!!!

    8. Amy says:

      This sort of behaviour does not just come out of nowhere. There are warning signs along the way.
      Why did no one notice the warning signs? I know he was sent off to military school, but maybe a shrink would have been a better option.

    9. Thunder says:

      LMAO OMG Randy you and him don’t have the same last name LOL keep it real before you ask for help…did you tell the truth after you was the one found her body and took pics???? The way I look at it u should be in jail as well and burn in Hell as well, your a joke. You better pray that god don’t take you down like ur brother…NOW STOP bitch boy and tell the truth! !!!! What did she do was so wrong???? Oh she gave u LIFE…lol put me on ur next list lol i got your number… bring it BITCH

    10. Thunder says:

      yeppers and everyone knows this down south texas and him as well.. don’t feel sorry for him and don’t take his call for help deep in thought ” lies after lie” he is just as sick as his brother is and is in need of help. someone need’s to call 911 for his soul, how can anyone stand up for something that is so sick as this and then he feels sorry for his brother that is so “deranged” get a clue, he as sick as chris is..some one need to slap him upside the head with his cell phone/cam and send him to jail as well. Stand up Randy ur next Bitch Boy….take it like a man oops or are you?? hmmmm!!!!!

      • Amy says:

        Wow. Well theres one for the family album.
        I can just picture the moment when he shows his girlfriend the family shots.
        “Heres mummy with me sitting on her knee.”
        “Heres one of mum and Chris at christmas.”
        ” Heres one of mum cooking a b.b.q.”
        ” Oh and heres my personal fav…mum as the b.b.q…”
        Nice kids.

        • TurtleMania says:

          Awesome visual. She’d be hanging from a human shish kabob metal rod that has been seared horizontally through her body, grilled to perfection with a nice size red apple wedged in her mouth.

    11. Thunder says:

      I see that there is not a comment back cuz he knew he was wrong and still is. If you had the monitor.com or watch the NEWS it was all out there in the open. It was all about getting the MONEY and Now you get nada, So sad So sad !!!!

    12. Lost Cause says:

      I know this is a really old story, but I have to wonder, if both kids were that screwed up, what the fuck went on in that household?

      • Inked_Hippie says:

        I was just re-reading some old stories as well and I’m just wondering why the hell his father gave him a gun?!

    13. Paulyne says:

      where is chris now? how can i contact him. he is not a bad guy…every one makes mistakes some bigger than others.

      • nicolenumbertwo says:

        A mistake would be forgetting to turn the coffee pot off when you leave for work or following too closely in your car and rear-ending the person in front of you. Shooting your mom three times in the head and twice in the body is not a mistake. It’s murder.

      • vcbecky says:

        I’m fairly certain 45 years haven’t passed yet, so my guess is he’s still rotting in prison where he belongs.

        Why would you want to contact someone who killed and burned his own mother for money? What qualifies as a ‘bad guy’ in the book of Paulyne? Maybe he should have eaten her for lunch after he cooked her. Maybe that would have convinced you. Or maybe it would have turned you on even more.

    14. Princton says:

      I knew Chris. We wet to school together. Nothing about him was cruel.
      He was smart, funny, and a good friend. The only person who really
      knows what happend is Chris. Instead of judging him and condeming him to hell you should give him the benefit of the doubt. None of you knew him personally and if you did, you wouldn’t think such harsh thoughts about him. I don’t think Chris did anything to hurt his mother. And I think you owe his grieving brother an apology. His mother is dead and his brother is being accused. Who in the hell do you people think you are? Really? You should be ashamed of yourselves.

      • NavyCop says:

        Question: Were you present at the shooting?
        We are not condemning him to hell, we’re voting whether or not he’ll go to hell. I.E. opinion poll. We owe nobody an apology, and it would be better for your mental welfare not to frequent this site.

        • Princton says:

          No I wasn’t there! Were you? And don’t you worry about my mental welfare… I’m defending my friend! You’re the idiots who are polling on something that you know nothing about! Maybe you should worry about your mental welfare when your making assumtions about someone elses actions!

          • Mulch says:

            You funny. You sooooo funny. Should I come to Texas and send this shitstain to hell myself? I will send him off on wings of pure pain. Should I pay you a visit too? Not to do anything but to show you pictures of your butt buddy. I know you 2 are “friends” and all. I am sure you are completly upset that he is spreadin his cheeks for another man now. I’m sure yer all worked up about it.

            Ta ta!

            • Mulch says:

              Thats what she said although she did use word like “huge”, “oh my God”, “very large” and sometimes “never before….”

              I don’t care about your rants. I really don’t. Hearsay and unprovable “facts” as you call them, have never inspired me much. Alone your motovation makes your “evidence” suspect to me. You can rant all you want. Won’t move me an inch.

              Now since when in the history of man has a suspect ever been innocent untill proven uilty? A nice idea that ignore the human way of thinking. I’ll bet a months pay had someone else been a suspect you would have been here screaming for death even before the trial. Like I said I am not inspired nor am I impressed.

            • Randy Langston says:

              if I seen the dots not being connected against some one else I would have the same questions…don’t act like you know me…..should curb your enthusiasm about running your mouth though….it’s not very polite.

              So,”slim”, you know something about this case I don’t?

              word about my unprovable facts as you put it….go disprove them…I dare you…..matter fact….I will freely let you punt me in the nuts if I am wrong about what I have posted.

              but if you aren’t ready to “prove” anything……you should hush now..the grown ups are talking.

            • Mulch says:

              I don’t have to prove a damn thing guy. The police reports are there to be read. They are objective and have no reason to put an innocent man behind bars. The evidence is there.

              Prove your case. Your hearsay does not prove anything. Should you brother be innocent I will publicly apoligize to him and if I can to his face. But the evidence is stacked against him. You need to bring more to the table than he said she said. If it can’t be proven rock solid then leave it alone.

              No I don’t know you but I am a student of human nature and human instinct. Facts can not be disputed nor debated. I have seen it often enough in my life. So you don’t need to get all pissed off. I am right as history has shown many times in the past.

            • Randy Langston says:

              Do you have these police documents? I would love to read them? have a link? email? are they posted somewhere? by ALL means …DO TELL….I’d really love to see what you are talking about….fax? telegraph? I mean…hell…what’s your source?

              Put your money where your mouth is.

            • Mulch says:

              I still have nothing to prove to you. But if you haven’t seen the docs yet then yer going to have to wait. As the servers will only allow a connection from the contintnel US (Through IP lookup should you be wondering) and I am in Germany. Add to that I am at work and from work I am not able to use a proxy sever. So wait till I get off work, get home, hit the gym, take a shower, cook and eat supper, clean my kitchen, have my drink of scotch, talk to my daughter, talk to my girlfriend, watch Simpsons (yes in German) and relax a little. Then I’ll dig out the link.

              If you don’t want to wait then you might want to ask yer brother’s lawyer. If he doesn’t have the police and arrest reports then he is a piss poor lawyer.

              I hope you understand that this mean jack shit to me as you are wasting your time. Go prove your point(s) Go visit your brother. Let him know you are there for him.

            • Randy Langston says:

              you must not have read what I wrote then….I think I can wait to see what you have to present…his lawyers are scum dude…all I can tell you is everything I posted is FACT and this was all screwed off by the Detectives,and the D.A……so send that link when you get a chance. I’ll be waiting.
              LMAO@Simpsons in German…sorry,I find that funny.

            • Mulch says:

              Simpsons aint that bad in German. Family Guy in German sucks ass.

              I’ll be completly and honest with you. This does not have the highest priority for me.

            • Randy Langston says:

              Dude, I couldn’t even imaging how Stewie would sound in German dub…I understand you don’t care, but if you care to have such strong feelings against him…and you have something that show’s WHY you feel that way….I would really love to see it…if it’s nothing but an arrest report, that does me no good…I know what he was arrested for…..

      • lamaquina32 says:

        hey princton or blue devil, if u knew chris that good, u would know what he was capable of doing. an no one owes him an apology for what for killig his mother, dont be a dumbass. i think he is guilty. i live like 10 miles away from where it happen. i knew chris too and his mom. chis needed helped they tried helping him to straighten him up but did not work

    15. Randy Langston says:

      Lovely to see what you folks wrote after all this time, I see that my lovely deranged uncle has made it here, threaten me all you want, you were also turned in for assaulting my father that day you made claim I set you up…then attempted to wreck me,followed by more threats…and then threatening me when I called you out on you LIES under oath..oh and also,your empty threats-you should have checked my pockets that day, I cover my ass when liars attack..I suggest you really think about causing harm to me or my loved ones Mike…. and to clear up a few things….the “HUGHES” was a play on the inaccurate information that rag themonitor was putting out there….now,as for what I couldn’t tell every one at the time pertained to the case,that was currently an ON GOING TRIAL….
      Which as anyone with any law experience knows, you aren’t supposed to discuss. Now, if you would like a transcript to see what was said in the court…
      contact the record keeper through the Hidalgo County Court House in Edinburg Texas…and enclose $3,600 u.s. currency because that is what they are asking for the documents…If I had them…I WOULD POST THEM…I have my own family to take care of, I can’t afford to do all these things…

      The light that the media attempted to cast on my mother and my brother was pretty pathetic.

      Yeah, it IS a well known fact I took TWO pictures as I was on the phone with the Sheriff’s office….AND? I’m a sick bastard blah blah…I did nothing but cover my ass….the same thing all the sick bastards that work in C.S.I. do…A photo is better evidence against a lie than mere words… I trust no one…I have been up for quite a bit tonight doing some talking to some people on this matter, all of you people seem to think you are hard core in here. some real bad ass’s….I wonder how any of you would have reacted to what I found that day.
      well, I guess it’s time to start getting down to the facts…….

      Three years ago today was the day, that evidence show’s, that my mother went missing in Hidalgo County Texas.
      On May 17 2007 I took a trip to the valley, for a few reasons. On May 18 2007…I discovered my mother’s body about 30yards away from her home. This was after the Hidalgo County Sheriffs officers had visited the home on THREE separate occasions, twice of which they spoke with my little brother, and once walking through the residence. After I had spoke with the man in charge of the missing person’s investigation that told me that “in 10 more days we are calling off the investigation,we see no sign’s of foul play, and we are not going to waste any more resource on the matter,if you want to find your mother ,I suggest you hire a private investigator and track her through things like ,bank account,credit cards and cell phone.” Shortly after I discovered her body my little brother was detained for questioning. He was released into my custody for a period of time. On his 17th birthday, my house was stormed by swat in the accompaniment of Hidalgo homicide detectives. My little brother was arrested for the murder of our mother. He was held in the youth detention center in Hidalgo, where he was required to go before a judge every week to extend his incarceration. After months of going in front of the SAME judge with the SAME lawyer, all a sudden the court’s paperwork did not show him having an attorney, so the nice judge APPOINTED two jokers that were present in court that day to the case. My little brother’s attorney had no idea they did this, and he was REFUSED back on the case. He needed a “release” from the newly appointed lawyers to have the case back. They refused. During the trial there were a LOT of things that did not add up with the lead homicide detective’s story. We had family members LIE under oath in the court room and say things that never happened. My little brother was never allowed to take the stand to defend his self. He is now sentenced to 45 years with no parole. He is currently, from what I hear, still in the appeals process, and they are running out. He has an applet lawyer’s name on his paper work, that does not exist. He has also been transferred into one of the worst prison’s in the state of Texas at this time. I have not had contact with him since the conviction. I wish I could say he was innocent, but I can not say he is guilty. I do not know.
      What I do know is there was nothing as far as physical evidence linking him to the murder.
      What I do know is my mother was in the process of suing her late husband’s family for embezzling over 1 million dollars from her late husband’s investments accounts. She was one week away from completing evidence collection and filing in court….
      What I do know is the late husband’s family some how “obtained” a briefcase from the back of my mother’s LOCKED trunk of her car ON her property.
      What I do know is that her mother denies the day my mother recovered the briefcase FROM them at THEIR property in Corpus on the day of her late husband’s wake.
      What I do know is Marshall was creepy and was stalking her—I was the one that proved him a LIAR in court with the answering machine from my mother’s home.
      What I do know is there was notes stashed here and there in my mom’s house to her” best friend” that read “Doris and PeeWee, you come in my house again I’ll fucking kill you”….these notes were turned over to Mr.Tanguma the lead homicide detective after I had once again talked to Mr.Patcheco, a Texas Ranger based in McAllen,TX about someone breaking into my mother’s house after H.C.C.S.I had released the property back to us.
      What I do know, is the Judge that my little brother had to go in front of to extend his stay had a brother, who is also a Judge, who had a son, who was found in the back seat of a car shot and burned, with an informant in the trunk,shot. This car was found about 3 miles from my mother’s house.
      This judge, my little brother had to go in front of to be certified an adult.
      What I do know is that same judge JUST got back to work after a suspension shortly before his son was murdered with the informant.
      What I do know is shortly there after a tractor trailer located a couple short miles down the road from this scene, parked in front of some guy’s house, in his yard, was LOADED down with cocaine.
      What I do know is there was bodies being found in ditches, behind dumpsters, in abandoned houses all around the area stretching all the way to Brownsville, ALL with the same m.o. shot,and burned.
      What I do know is these cops down there have done MANY illegal things…TAKING kids out of school,interrogating them with no parents,no attorneys,officers perjuring them selves on the stand under oath, falsifying documents and witness statements, pushing for bribes, stalking(illegal wire taps)and trespassing along with theft. (they had no warrants-and never notified the local police or sheriff’s offices that they were conducting ANY kind of investigation on their turf-YOU ARE required to notify other agencies! They were reported and the Sheriffs department escorted them out of the county. Hidalgo was not happy. No one likes a creeper. Not even Mr.O’Conner.
      What I do know is these cops make my skin crawl, they DO give a feeling they will shoot you in the face and drop you in a ditch. They are the DEFINITION of organized crime. No “direct” threats from them, only very “suggestive” language.
      Although,I have had several death threats, but thats “family” for ya.
      What I don’t know is if my little brother did this or not. Gut tells me no, brain tells me never to trust anyone, because everyone is capable of anything. (you can claim all day you know how you will react to things, that you know exactly what you would do,blah blah….NO…NO YOU DON’T) In times of stress-you react…thats it…there is nothing else.
      What I would FIGURE, is that if he did this, there would be evidence to prove it..HE WAS 16 FFS! Are you telling me, at 16, my little brother is a homicidal maniac that is skilled enough and smart enough to NOT leave behind evidence?
      Oh wait..thats right, I forgot, the sheriffs office was out there 3 times already and seen no sign’s of foul play. So we are dealing with rocket scientists here?
      What I do know is themonitor.com has removed EVERY SINGLE COMMENT that I posted calling them out on their LIES!
      What I do know is under the information act I am allowed the court documents, autopsy reports, records of evidence amongst a few other things……
      DENIED !!!!! Multiple attempts to obtain these documents has been refused,or given the run around, with the statement- “it’s in the mail” (quote from Judges office that handled the autopsy).
      I WAS offered the court transcripts for $3,600.00 . Although, I would love these documents so I could post them on the web to SHOW EVERYONE all the lies.
      What I do know is this was no where near a fair trial.
      What I do know is after my little brother was released on May 18th after the first 5 or 7 hours of interrogation with out an attorney or recordings – AFTER I HEARD ALL THESE COPS MAKING FUN OF MY MOTHER, right around the corner from where I was sitting in their lair…I made calls to Three(3) different F.B.I. agencies pleading with them to help, I contacted the Texas Rangers in Austin,which directed me to Dallas,which directed me to SanAntonio,which directed me to McAllen….which I pleaded with Iseral Pacheco to help investigate. I talked to Mr.Pacheco on multiple occasions. The only thing he was willing to do, was administer the LieDetector tests…but there sure was a joint effort to investigate the judge’s kid and get that trailer with coke busted….
      What I do know is they can track you YEARS LATER by your cell phone..yes,your company KEEPS RECORDS..these records include things like-GPS position,time stamp,numbers called,etc…
      In 2002 there was a man linked to a missing person by cell phone position records from 1996 <—-
      My little brother had a cell phone…I had TWO(2) cell phones at this time, one work,one personal….WHY THE FUCK WERE THESE NOT CHECKED?!?
      What I do know, is these assholes love to talk shit. My little brother's attorneys are still trying to conjure up stories about how I'm supposed to be involved with this, even going after a friend of mine that was 6hours away because I was having him make calls for me that I couldn't make due to being in the middle of an investigation during the day of May18th2007. These calls included, calls to my father, calls to Beeville Prison to pull my older brother, of which you all know,Eric , away from any t.v.'s or radios due to the LINE of new's crews that swarmed the scene. Last thing I was wanting at this time was for Eric to see this and flip out and get MORE time in prison…At the time we were not sure WHO that was I had found, the body was badly burned and decayed. I expected the worst,but prayed for the best. Prayer unanswered.
      Lead Homicide Detective: Fernando Tanguma
      Missing persons: Julio Lopez
      Sheriff: Lupe Triveno
      Texas Ranger: Isreal Pacheco (not sure on spelling-sound it out)
      Austin FBI-SanAntonio FBI-Brownsville FBI

      one day the pieces will fall into place,and when I find out who they link to in this web of bullshit….well, lets just say,you Hidalgo boys should think about make'n good on your quasi-threats and come get you a piece of the little white boy that don't put up with no one's shit before your secretes get out.
      One day my mother will be able to rest, but until this war is over……we wait.
      My mother was Laura Hughes Doyle….my mom was bad ass,she deserved better in so many ways. Mr.Nonuts from the rag paper "themonitor" wrote her to be a horrible person and didn't have shit for facts right on a WIDE spectrum of things.(also the shit about deleting my comments-fucking douche!)
      Christopher Allan Hughes is my little brother, he lied to me about some stupid stuff, so I don't feel like I can trust his word on anything( I'm that way with everyone-don't fucking lie to me) but I don't feel he did this…..not only his actions when I was around him after all this, but how EVERYONE was throwing lies left and right at the kid…how he got railroaded in court, etc….Something isn't right, on a LARGE scale…
      No one out of the valley want's to touch this, they will refer you right back to the same crooked assholes in the valley.
      So to everyone out there, this is whats up.
      Your system is FUCKED ! plain and simple. You may be living in a peachy life style, never dealing with the law other than maybe a traffic ticket, but others out there are living the real world life.
      When you have a cop ask you "what's going to happen to your kids when you disappear"……then you can open your fucking eyes and see that you people gave "power" to the wrong fucking people!

      … ok,to review the first:

      1)Mom was a week away from filing suit for over a million dollars to the surviving members of the Doyle family.
      2)The Doyle's were in possession of the briefcase,in Corpus, from a locked vehicle on my mom's property in Elsa.
      3)My mom's mother denying the exchange took place,(briefcase does not exist)…
      4)The corner(autopsy dude) "retired" after my mom's autopsy,was his last one.
      5)My mom's brother(MIKE) going over my head and having her cremated immediately.
      6)My mom was getting into cocaine again-the guy that I am told she was buying from had her gun-(suspected murder weapon) under his bed.
      7)Gun possessor is a convicted felon that admitted to him and his friends shooting the gun at his house.
      8)Gun possessor saying he took the gun out of the truck my little bro was driving cause his little bro was running around with him….ie, convicted felon in possession of a stolen fire arm…(but tanguma said "he's a really good guy")
      9) Marshall hiding the fact he stalked my mom and had romantic feelings for her, with audio from my mother's answering machine calling her "sugar puss" and rants about how much he loves her and to call him, plus leaving notes in the gate for her.
      10) My mom's mother all a sudden befriending the Doyle family, even with all the feelings my mom expressed about them and what they had done…
      11) Flying the gun possessor back to texas (serving time elsewhere) to give testimony against my lil bro after they rushed him into a private room to (brief,coax,bribe?) him.
      12) kicking everyone in my group out of the court room during any testimony and allowing other "witness cohorts" into the court room to relay the testimony in the room before anyone else gets called in-and then having the Ass.D.A. laugh in my face when I called him on that lack of respect of the law.
      13)Shortly before my mother's disappearance, about mid March-she had security bars installed on every window but one that was covered by a huge cactus, and both doors, top'd off with over $800 of medco locks…not the cheap shit! security bars are ment to keep things out..more on this later.
      14)My mom's mom telling stories that me and Chris had a plan to kill her,she sent pictures to prove it ( which was the pictures we took before a visit to her(mom's mom) house in SA one year, I was leaning on a b-b-q pit with my father and lil bro-so we were going to b-b-q her I guess.)*please see #12-security bars are ment to keep people out,if some one wants to kill you,why lock them in with you?kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me.
      15) the land- The property is located across Delta Lake Park in Hidalgo county, on the property sits the ruins of the old Bordello , a 3 or 4 story structure.Daniel(her late husband) and his brother had their eye on this property for years(I got the original pics they took back in the early 80's) NOW-at the time they wanted too much money for the place-the Bordello was still in great shape and functional..(as a motel ) ..NOW-right before they moved down there,my mom was getting into another "kick" I guess you could say, hanging out with the wrong people,doing things she shouldn't be doing-all a sudden—-the Bordello burns to the ground…Dan sells his home here in Victoria and scoops up the property for a sweet discount….thus, getting my mom far away from the trouble here.(later on he was stupid and got her a firebird that would top around 160mph,so he kinda screwed his self on the whole plan)
      16)My mom's mother called not to long ago to my father's house—after all the nasty things she said about me,Chris,and my father…she calls. I just happend to be there that night,so I listened in on the other phone….no fucking apologies..just questions….questions about MONEY….whats going on with the life insurance.whats going on with the investments…try'n to act all sweet and poke here and there for information…GREEDY ASS!<-sorry,personal opinion.
      17)Lots of drug related activity all around her house.
      18)MULTIPLE DOCUMENTED break ins reported at her residence.
      19)On one police call,it was reported there were trespassers on the property having a little party(good chunk of property).The responding officer was reported to enter into a chase where the vehicle he was pursuing lost control and rolled, death was reported. The officer was put on suspension due to possible alcohol in his system at the time of accident.–THE VERY SAME OFFICER THAT RESPONDED TO MY CALL OF FINDING HER-then pulling up and asking me "is there a problem?"(this guy said he knew her well,like he was the ONLY officer that ever responded)
      20)the untimely screw up with the paper work on the lawyer.
      21)The absolute refusal of giving me documents I am allowed to by the freedom of information act.(what is there to hide?)
      22) No physical evidence linking my lil bro to the murder.(no blood,no prints,no nothing other than stupid activity-he spent quite a bit of money-but what teenager with out supervision wont?)<-My opinion-I remember being 16…

      ok,at 22 so far….shall I keep going?

      How about talking about how my mother and my good old uncle here had a vicious falling out and how she didn't want him anywhere near her, how about how she used to warn me,Eric and Chris to stay away from you….I honestly never believed her, I never knew why she would say that….

      Well….once your true colors came out Mike..I see why she always warned me…

      Oh, btw, what happened to wanting all the property I put in storage for you guys…I sent an inventory sheet and the key, your momma signed for it. so she got it….yeah,assholes, made me spend another grand getting all the crap back out of storage after you guys left it all there to be auctioned off….oh,but thats hassle huh? you would rather have the money…..

      Let me tell you a story about money….
      The funds that are…oops…were available, are now property of the State Of Texas and guess what fuckers…Eric is the only one that can touch it now!!!! And Mike,despite what you may think..Eric isn't stupid—he will figure your plans out along with your mother's…neither of you two are going to see a fucking DIME!
      The cops know all about you Mike…
      So when ever you feel the urge….you know where I live. Stop being a pussy picking on kids. "bitch whore slut" fucking liar! Why you gotta lie on your nephew? How much of a piece of shit are you sir? If he did this then evidence should have proved the case, not your lies or anyone elses….

      oh and a couple more matters to clear up…his father did not GIVE him a gun….My mother's .357 was confiscated in December 2006 when she got the cocaine charge, so Dan bought her a .22 pistol to replace it.

      next, the matter of "there were signs" ….are you referring to his in and out of military school? oh yeah…hard core problems….
      THOSE SCHOOLS COST OVER $ 10,000.00 a semester !! He went one time,Dan didn't want to pay for the school any more,so he went back home, my mom was a bit overly protective of him and drove very hard to "keep him out of trouble"…..he was doing the usual teen thing…hang out with his friends, steal the car to see his girl friend..yeah,…let's fry him for being a kid….this is people trying to make something out of nothing because they don't know details…

      Also, I really don't check this site, I've seen it, my other half had found this site one night and she posted the above statement for me at the time…

      So…if any of you care to put your money where your mouth is…PROVE I'm a liar……get the court documents, get a copy of MY HAND WRITTEN STATEMENT from the court…lets see who said what.
      I want to BE SURE we have the person that did this to my mom, I dont want a scape goat…If my lil brother did this, well,then he did it…if he did NOT do this…I want to know who did….

      So I'm sure plenty of things are going to be said once again, say what ever you want, I just gave you guys a courtesy update…sorry it took so long…

      All I have to tell any of you, I can look my self in the mirror and know who I am, I know my soul is clean. I have done nothing wrong. All I did was try to be a brother and do what was right.

      Oh hey Mike…don't be a pussy about starting anything either….like try and hit me with your truck like you did that girl Pam back in the day that was walking down the sidewalk….it was nice of you to admit that to me…you fucking coward.

      oh and Amy,the photo album thing is funny and all, but no…the pictures were given to Mike,Hidalgo County,And exchanged between 3 lawyers. Sorry to burst your bubble….

      And thank you to the few that still ask for truth ……

      If any of you have ACTUAL questions, I will be glad to discuss the matter with any of you…All I can tell you is what I know, then it's all up to you guys to help with the rest. I can not guarantee I will check this site often….but I will check back in.

      All I have ever asked is we not condemn someone with out facts…and the facts as presented to me have been crap so far. Just more of people opinion and guess's…

      Why don't you focus around the area of the people who are hindering facts getting out.

      I can only attest to what I know, I was not allowed inside the court room to know who said what during the entire thing, but the lawyers did an oops, and was asking questions to deliver to the jury while I was sitting in there during recess ….. oh mikey mikey…what ever will you do when I get my hands on those documents….and then POST THEM for all to see who the liar is…..

      The war isn't over.

        Randy, I haven’t read your entire post yet. I will, though. Thank you for using paragraphs. I’m serious. THANK YOU.

        Please don’t take this as a jab, but I really think you need to take a long weekend away from all of this. You’re going to have a heart attack. Again, I am completely serious and without malice. At least get some hot-tub and white wine time in there somewhere. Get a massage, anything man, just unplug from this for a bit. There’s only so much stress a human mind can handle.

          I guess Max, how’s that working out for you?
          not exactly constructive criticism there.
          Hey, while you are at it, check it for misspellings and punctuation.

          please enter corrections below:

          vcbecky…yeah, you are probably right, but at least I can say I tried.

          Randy Langston

          • Max The Cat says:

            I wouldn’t know, not being a meth user and all. But I must congratulate you for posting the longest comment in the history of PYSIH.

            What did you expect me to do with this? Basically, you’ve posted a mish-mash of 80% neighborhood gossip and 20% unsubstantiated accusations. I did you a favor by even leaving it up instead of tossing it in the trash bin. I tell people like you this all the time, but no one ever listens – Just because you say something out loud, or post it on a website, that doesn’t make it true. You need proof, evidence. witnesses.

            You believe in your brother, and that’s an admirable thing. I would do the same thing in you shoes. But what I wouldn’t do is become a ranting maniac screaming out accusations to anyone who can’t get away from me. It does no one any good, and undermines any chance you brother has for a new trial.

            He needs your support – give it to him. But leave the legal stuff to the lawyers. Find one you trust, and let him do his job, or resign yourself to the fact that Christopher will be in prison for a long time.

            I know a few things about the law, and appeals are very, very hard to win, ESPECIALLY in Texas. There’s things about your Brother’s case that make an appeal unlikely at best. Sure, it’s circumstantial evidence, but it’s powerful stuff, and hard for him to explain away.

    16. Randy Langston says:

      Proof evidence,witness…..that is a very good point….but I always was told under the law you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty-and the burden of proof is bound to the prosecution.

      Would you guys care for the name of my mother’s lawyer to “prove” what is known fact–IN THIS CIRCLE–meaning,you are getting YOUR news from the media,drawing conclusions on what THEY care to put in there, you are not aware of the DETAILS of the things I – and select others-am privy to..thus,WHY I am here to inform you guys since you seem to have thought everything was just one sided.

    17. Randy Langston says:

      Maybe I should try a different explanaintion ,
      THESE have been the things I was aware of, if you or anyone else have actual information that would CONVINCE me that he did this, then by all means—share!

      ok,let me give you an example: an article talking trash on me…:
      “he was calling all his friends before he found the body”
      well, no duh. I never denied this, but here’s the details….
      Chris, and I did not stay at my mother’s house the night of the 17th, we crashed at a friend of his house, of which I had just met.
      Chris was attending school in SanBenito,TX….I dropped Chris off at school that morning, had a bit of a miss-communication with the Principal, the law was called on me AT the school…

      • Randy Langston says:

        it was from a conversation I had with a social worker on the 16th, sum it up,Chris had a ticket in Port Isable to pay,the school,KNOWING he did not have a driver’s license-was going to allow him to leave an hour early and DRIVE HIM SELF FROM school to pay this ticket. Due to the hours the office was open he would have to drive like a maniac to get there in time,so I suggested they let him leave at lunch and he would return and get his work and finnish the day…arguemnt for a few seconds before I just told them if the principal had any thing to say to me,he could call me,but I was done dealing with that woman. So anyhow, next day they were not happy to see me, and yeah,I got an attitude a bit-but nothing warranting being swarmed by laws like I was a mad gun man or something, very over dramatised…I was walking WITH the security to try and talk to the principal before I left and thats when he told me to get off his campus and I told him to call the law I’ll be waiting outside..which I did-with the security officers hanging out with me till the Police arrived, and it was over me wanting to give Chris a message to Walk off campus after school so I could pick him up, cause that principal really didnt seem to care for me too much…so THAT caused a big stink…anyhow…there was a brief background…now….

        • Randy Langston says:

          Remember this school is in SanBenito……my mother’s house was about 7 to 10 miles north of Elsa…Across from Delta Lake Park….google map this stuff man,give you an idea here…now….as you see from the map–thats a pretty good distance away from home to go to school….thats a long boring ride by yourself…..so yeah…I was calling my friends…I also called my father, called my grandfather……

          See what I mean about the details…they give you a “blurb” and then let your imaginations run with it….

          In google maps, you can also(or actually I use google earth) you can see the lay out of the “trailer park” which is actually a big chunk of acreage that was privately owned by Dan and my mother.

          Also included on the property was two guest houses located near the back of the property…

          “oh guest houses?” —-nothing special , or hasn’t been for years, falling to pieces….

          Any how, you can get an idea of the lay out….I’m sure if you googled “delta lake bordello” or something similar you could even find pictures and history about the place before and after the incident….

          I don’t feel I’m a ranting madman…..yet….but I have a right to be upset, upset about comments I probably shouldn’t read, upset that people who you have known and trusted for years,almost instantly become people you DON’T KNOW…..

          • Randy Langston says:

            Now as for the appeals….dude, did you read what I wrote?…you are absolutely correct, it’s hard as hell to do, especially when the guy doesn’t exist thats supposed to be handling it…so then it expires past the due date and bummer dude-you are stuck like chuck…why does no one question the details?

            Ok,the new lawyers told me and my friend’s mom (the one they are trying to drag into this)–”The only way we are going to be able to get an appeal is if new evidence gets presented, so if you can get ***** to say he was really here with you when you found her.”
            Which I never EVER said because thats not what happened.

            All of these things I write about was given to the Homicide detectives as well as the D.A.’s office….YOU tell me why nothing was investigated……wouldn’t you THINK that something is odd with the briefcase and a lawsuit in that large of a sum with the word-EMBEZZLEMENT would kinda be a little flag waving around?

            Don’t you think it’s strange that she goes missing a week before the paper work is finalized, don’t you think the security bars and high dollar locks are odd in the time frame?

            Oh,,and to elaberate a bit on the pictures my mom’s mom presented in court….it wasn’t like a hand full that was supposed to show proof…..it was a big box with over 1000 photos…….family photos back to when we were babies almost….being presented to implicate me at his trial?

            • Randy Langston says:

              To clear up the family dynamic…there are 3 sons, we all have different fathers, Eric’s was out of the picture,Chris’s father lives near by and is a very good man,Chris never got to meet him,Daniel was the only father that Chris knew.Dan was also a good man.I was raised by my father until about 14-15years old, then I briefly lived with my mom and two brothers. At this time she had to spend some time in jail due to some messed up stuff involving an ex-husband and his neighbors, so me and Eric staid with friends here and there, Chris was being take’n care of by a good family friend,(the mother of the friend they are trying to drag into this)….

              Now, I’m sure people would have something to say about me now NOT being raised exclusively by my mom….it never made her any less of a mom..so don’t go there.

              As for not trashing my post, well,if you are a mod,then thanks…but hey,why would you want to delete my opinion and not HARSH comments by others?

              and a big HAHA! to the longest post award….sorry about that….I’m a bit long winded at times but I don’t lie about what I post.

    18. Randy Langston says:

      Apologize about seeming a bit snappy on the reply, but you did after all , insinuate a meth fueled rant. Don’t do drugs man, don’t even drink anymore, not since my older brother Eric was in a bad accident, one in which he too is spending time in prison. I’ll explain all that if asked, but it was a stupid mistake that happens around you all the time,even you may be guilty of it. (or if not now,at one time)…

      These things are not a reflection on our parents, if so, my I inquire about all your parents? after all, how sick are you guys? on a web site VOTING who goes to hell? hahah…

      But I still say…if there is evidence out there that will help convince me Chris did this, bring it on,I’ll be happy to investigate it.

      All of you MAY be right on…..or you could be dead wrong…

      I’m his brother, don’t you think I am OWED at least that much?
      This was MY mom, this is MY brother….this is MY family y’all !!!
      Yes—I do feel I am owed the evidence–if they convinced a jury—why do they not care to let me see the evidence or present ANY of what they deemed as “fact”???

      • Max The Cat says:

        No need to apologize – sometimes I go for laughs. It was hard to tell if you were serious or just another one of the many hit & run kooks we get around here. I wish you luck man – If your brother is innocent than I want him out as much as anyone.

        We’re about justice here, not law enforcement.

    19. Randy Langston says:

      I’m NOT close minded on the issue…..why when I want to see the case file,or the autopsy report, or anything I am LEGALLY entitled to, they tell me no? If there’s no problem-there should be no problem……right?

      or am I just off in left field in my thinking?

      Randy Langston

      • Randy Langston says:

        clarification on school , police, date.
        16th talked to social worker
        17th went to the school w/Chris dropped off receipt for ticket,he left with me,we went back to his friends house(wanted to talk to the principle -he wasn’t there the 17th)
        18th-droped Chris off talked to Principle, law called, left, went to mom’s, found mom.

        sorry,it was a bit jumbled,
        I was in Killeen TX the 14th&15th(dealing with the police chief there) drove back to home town, slept most the day the 16th, didn’t sleep at home the 16th either, went to my house later and it had been broke into,so I had to deal with the Sheriff’s office till almost midnight before I headed to where Chris was ,,arrived there around 4:30am or so on the 17th….

    20. Randy Langston says:

      Thanks Max, and I tell ya man, I’m about as real as it gets.
      I just want people to understand the complexity of the situation.
      It’s not just cut and dry as they try and make it look….
      Thanks for letting me get information out there.

        my eyes hurt, I gotta agree with Beck, go take that bath will ya, don’t have a drink, or take any drugs just sit in a hot bath maybe with a cuppa tea or a berocca…, because the way your heading it don’t look pretty….

        Oh and I’m not having a go either, if he’s innocent then go get ‘em’

      • Randy Langston says:

        Not too sure what you think is going to happen to me here.
        My head going to explode or something? Think if it was, it already would have…don’t worry though,I’ll cut back on the rants of info…unless required….lol…yeah,think some glasses are required after this read….but,it is what it is. hey,just read they are removing some stuff from here? is there going to be archiving by chance or what? any clue?

        • justjaney says:

          ….I had my glasses on!!!…lol

          and wouldn’t know what’s happening, I’m on the other side of the world, as for the head exploding…it’s just I think I can hear a tick …tick from here..:)

    21. ApriL says:

      Randy,

      Have you thought about contacting outside help? Like maybe a well known lawyer (who may work pro bono), or how about contacting the media? Maybe not exactly about getting your brother out, but explaining that you aren’t being allowed access to things you should be able to have access to. I mean it sounds to me like you MAY be on to something, but then how could you know if you can’t get the information you need. If I were you I would try and talk to people who may actually be able to help, I don’t think anyone here could help when it comes to this.

      • Randy Langston says:

        I have tried this route,yes.
        Have you ever tried to ask a lawyer to work for free? (or even on a discount?) haha…I’ve never been laughed out of a room so hard. know any lawyers with a heart?
        The media: I have contacted several different outlets, sent emails, calling is impossible…so here I am…taking to the internet…in the process of trying to get a documentary type video out as well….
        Since I have not been able to get help over the last 3 years…it’s time I do it myself. And If it get’s proven to me that Chris was actually at fault….then so be it. I’ll deal with that if or when that happens.
        I just want truth.

    22. Harley Quinn says:

      My god is it just me or do the Hughes family and friends just have a DEPLORABLE grasp of the English language. I have a headache just trying to sift through Randy’s psychobabble word vomit.

      Your brother killed your mother son, suck it up. Struggling to form complete sentences here wont change that fact. I suggest you take this opportunity to straighten yourself up before you end up in a cell with your piece of shit sibling.

      • Miwist says:

        Y’know, I was going to say something last night but thought that maybe it was just me. This Randy-fella sure does seem to babble – does anything he says make any sense? My time is limited.

        • Harley Quinn says:

          Not that I’ve been able to decipher. Honestly he just doesn’t believe his brother killed his mother when he probably did. I mean spending 7k on her credit card while she lay decomposing in the bbq pit doesnt’ really convince me otherwise.

          I half sympathize because I’ve been there. When you don’t want to believe somebody you love has done something like this, you find ways to validate that disbelief. The law enforcement or hospitals or medical examiners involved become REAL convenient scapegoats. Sometimes the truth is too hard to swallow and even harder to digest.

          • Randy Langston says:

            you are more than welcome to correct any grammatical errors you find, as well as punctuation and spelling…please enter corrections below…….or STFU…thank you.

            • Harley Quinn says:

              You know what Randy, I think I’ll take you up on that. I’ll write up a contract with my expected hourly rate and I will keep track of my billable hours in an Excel spreadsheet. Thanks! It’s always nice to have a side job to take up most of my free time…and this doozy of a project certainly will!

            • Randy Langston says:

              @harley-what a dipshit you must be in real life..
              @max.ban me,what ever, your article doesn’t even match up with the other websites…so you would care to keep false info up,and not truth…it’s not a rants , it’s facts…FACTS…why do I have to do everyone’s job for them? honestly…..get off your ass’s and stop talking shit,…be productive….why not try and help people instead of being douche bags?

            • vcbecky says:

              You aren’t doing my job for me. You have delusions of grandeur, Randy. I’d admire your tenacity, but I’m only able to do that when the tenacity is for admirable reasons itself.

              It’s one thing to support and be there for a family member. It’s quite another to assist that person in shitting on their victim and their victims family by enabling their denial of guilt. He is not innocent of wrongdoing simply by virtue of being your brother.

            • Randy Langston says:

              Did I ever say that?

              what the fuck is wrong with you people?

              I’m asking why I have to fight and struggle to get documents to prove I know what the hell I’m talking about, when your awesomely true to the bone info came from the media?

              this is like talking to a brick wall…thank you for helping me understand that….I guess details don’t matter…well, guess lord help you if this kind of thing ever happens to any of you…or any one you love, in either since….

              IT’S not only about my lil bro….who here does NOT think that it is OWED to my mother as well to MAKE SURE we have the right person?

              see the situation for what it is….

              no go hop on your little pedestals and dictate to the world who is going to hell some more….

              I’ll see you all there!

            • Randy Langston says:

              YOU did not receive jack shit….you got told what everyone else was told…..

              he was found guilty…you do not know how,why or any damn thing else past that….

              but you are totally right….spinning wheels…

              I’m owed answers….and one day, if it fucking kills me…I’ll get em.

            • vcbecky says:

              I’m not dictating anything to anyone. Do you honestly believe anyone who votes in the polls on this site actually believes Hell is listening and will obey? Ahhh, the intertronz. Who knows if Satan has Fios? It’s Hell, so most likely it’s dial-up.

              You’re a drama queen, Randy. You’re blowing things completely out of proportion, and putting more importance on the opinions of the denizens of this blog than there really should be just so you can squeeze your asshole into a tighter wad than it already is. Release that sphincter, or you might break it.

              You seem to have trouble sorting out what is important from what is not.

              And now I’m back to square one. Remember the first thing I said to you? It applies, only I think you should add some therapy to your relaxation session. And possibly a Valium.

    23. Max The Cat says:

      Sorry guys, I had to ban Randy. His rants are getting tiresome and repetitive, and no amount of logic is going to convince him that he’s on a fool’s quest. I tried. I even gave him a forum to express himself for a couple of days. But he more he went on the more I realized he’s just another desperate family member trying to convince us his loved one has been framed by a corrupt legal system.

      I’d go into all the reasons why his arguments won’t hold water, but I’m tired and I don’t have a week to waste on a fruitless endeavor. There’s a very good reason why no lawyer will take his brothers appeal. He’s guilty as hell. All you need to know about Christopher Hughes cost around 7000 dollars and was paid for by his late mother’s credit card.

      • SD says:

        Repetitive ranting from a family member who wouldn’t accept the truth if it slapped him right across the face??? On here??? LOL

    24. vcbecky says:

      Randy my love, none of us cares to waste our time trying to re-prove the guilt of a guilty man. It’s been done. It’s redundant, an unintelligent use of our time and yours. Why would we need to call anyone? That’s just silly.

      You cannot accept the fact of his guilt under law. This group of people did not render that verdict, we just happen to strongly agree with it. No amount of ranting at us is going to change the fact that Christopher Hughes is guilty. You’re spinning your wheels, here. Your forehead veins are throbbing for no good reason. The truth came out in trial. We have no need to demand what we already received.

      Stop living in the shadow of your brothers terrible choice, and start living your own life.

      • Randy Langston says:

        YOU did not receive jack shit….you got told what everyone else was told…..

        he was found guilty…you do not know how,why or any damn thing else past that….

        • Harley Quinn says:

          Well if it does at least you’ll shut the hell up.

          • Randy Langston says:

            haha,yeah,cause by all means some one tries to correct any of you on any thing….

            “Randy my love, none of us cares to waste our time trying to re-prove the guilt of a guilty man. It’s been done. It’s redundant, an unintelligent use of our time and yours. Why would we need to call anyone? That’s just silly.”

            but you guys would rather spend your time wisely by talking shit to everyone on the planet? good call.

            thanks…i needed a laugh !

            • Max The Cat says:

              I’m a firm believer that if you give someone enough rope, they’ll hang themselves. Thanks for verifying that you are what I thought you were – another crackpot family member trying to prove how their painfully guilty loved one got a raw deal. You want US to reprove what’s already been proven? That your piece of shit brother shot your mother, dragged her body out to the woodpile and set her body on fire, and left the woman that gave birth to her to rot in the sun like so much garbage while he spent her money celebrating what he did.

              No, you see, that’s not how our justice system works. The burden is now on you to prove that some reversible error occurred during his trial, or that some exculpatory evidence has been discovered that wasn’t available during his trial. Not rumors, not gossiping among a bunch of rednecked drug dealers, not hearsay – real, provable facts as described in the Rules of Evidence for the State Of Texas. Maybe you should take a few law courses – It’s not like Chris is going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

              I’d get on that right away. Forty five years can go by awfully fast.

          • vcbecky says:

            Again, you’re blowing things out of proportion. I’m not talking shit to everyone on the planet. I don’t believe that’s physically possible, do you?

            You don’t need a laugh. You need therapy.

            • Max The Cat says:

              Don’t you love how Randy thinks he knows us, or why we do what we do here. Isn’t it ironic that we are forced to speak for his mother, while he defends the sack of excrement that took her life. For money?

              We’ve been ‘talking shit’ in the name of victims of child abuse, rape, and murder for quite a long time now, and most of us are proud to do it. We’ll keep on doing it as long as there are assholes like Randy willing to disgrace the memory of those victims with ridiculous, baseless accusations and character assassination. The victims and their families have suffered enough without putting up with an obsessive psycho who think the law is all about arguments at the level of a bunch of 14 year old girls at a sleepover.

          • Max The Cat says:

            You do that Randy – you publish that map. And when some guy you’ve never seen before and who’s crazier than you are walks up behind you in a crowd and blows your fucking brains out, don’t blame me.

            You fucking idiot, making threats over the internet. As if you couldn’t look even more fucking stupid.

    25. vcbecky says:

      Why? Do you weigh the same as a duck?

    26. vcbecky says:

      Randy, your behavior is making Christopher look more guilty, do you know that? The way you’re flying off the handle here, one would almost think your problem is genetic…

    27. NavyCop says:

      Really? Really!? Why is it that people insist on coming here to fruitlessly defend their relatives? And why do the friends of the “pillars of society” featured here get all up in arms when warned to leave for the sake of their sanity? I’m trying to do you people a favor, by the way…..Obsessing about your family/friend’s imagined innocence is detrimental to your health, physically, mentally, and emotionally. That’s right, I’m talking to YOU, Princton.

      • Randy Langston says:

        educate your self before speaking…it’s usually a good thing to do.

        Doesn’t make you look so much like a fool….

        DEMAND TRUTH! ! ! ! ! !

        • NavyCop says:

          Oh, boy, buddy, you do NOT know who you are talking to, do ya? My education consists of six years experience in Law Enforcement. Next time try to get to know who you are talking to before attempting to insult them. Then you won’t look the fool. I demand Intelligence. By the way, I wasn’t even addressing you, Randy. Don’t speak unless spoken to. You are better seen and not heard, okay?

          • Mulch says:

            The obvious is a funny thing. Many people can’t see the forest for the trees.

            NavyCop? Funny I thought you were a waitress at a strip club with that name.

            • NavyCop says:

              No, fucker, that was your mother. Wasn’t she a two-bit whore in Amsterdam? Not even worth the window she was posing in? Fuck you and the horse that rode in on you.

    28. Max The Cat says:

      You’ve spent three days talking the same shit over and over while we make fun of you, and you call us internet losers – OK there Randy.

      Meanwhile, I did a television interview thanks to the work we do on this website. But yeah, you’re right, we’re the losers. Not to mention the email and comments from dozens of victims thanking us for the support we give them. Yeah, but we’re all losers. Remember John Battaglia – He’s from your parts. Killed his two daughters to spite his ex-wife? We have an comment from Mary Joe Pearl (The Ex) on this site thanking us for our story and this site. I’ve never been prouder of a story I wrote. But yeah, you’re right, I’m a fucking loser.

      Fuck you Randy, you’re a sorry excuse for a human being. I even tried being nice to you, what a fucking mistake that was. I should have gone for your throat from the start, like I usually do with bullshit artists like you. To be honest, your post was just so damn long and I was just too tired to deal with it. That was a mistake – it will never happen again. If we give people like you an inch, you will always take a mile. I forgot my responsibility to the family and the victim, and I let you rant. I regret that now, more than I can say. I screwed this one up badly, and I was only able to recover as much as I did because of how stupid and ignorant you are and because, VCBecky, HarleyQuinn, Mulch and the others had my back.

      II guess that’s life though. Next time I’m faced with a similar situation, I’ll be much better prepared. Thank you for that.

      Now please, get off the meth, before all your teeth rot out of your head – LOLOLOL

      • NavyCop says:

        Max, have I ever told you how much I admire and respect you? Can I get you a coffee? Beer? Anything? I don’t envy what you do, I just wish I had the cajones. :)

        • Max The Cat says:

          Aw Shucks {blush} Stoopppppiiit – LOL.

          Doesn’t take cajones, you just have to be stubborn.

          • NavyCop says:

            Yeah, my boyfriend has been breaking me of that particular character trait. I’m not allowed to do everything now. I am required by Manly Law to let the Man take care of some things. Lol. I am allowed to do women’s work, though, haha

      • Mulch says:

        Max not many people understand why we come back here. We take insults and abuse from family member and friends. B U T we stand tall at all that and fire right back. We stand tall because the victim in many cases sadly can’t.

        Max don’t beat yerself up about this. You have some people around here that watch things when you can’t. I am proud to count myself in that group.

        So have a big glass of milk on me, play with yer cats and enjoy life. It’s way too short to wory about the trash. The next one is on his/her way here as we speak anyway.

      • Budgiegirl says:

        No Max, don’t ever beat yourself up for being fair, compassionate, and willing to let ass-hats hang themselves. It is because you care that you let him post the longest post I’ve ever meandered through.

        Truth be told, had he cut the length and the more spurious allegations, then I could have believed in some sort of small-town corruption driven by money. HOWEVER, words are also a very big clue when someone is speaking/writing — a clue as to the veracity of the statements being made. His comments were rants, and one of the more obvious examples of the all-too-human nature of relatives of criminals. As I said before, the criminal’s actions make victims of us all, including the ones who love him.

        Randy states that he is OWED answers; got to tell you, he sounds very much like a sociopath with that type of lip. He has decided that Chris ain’t guilty and if Randy says so, then Randy be right and the world be wrong.

        Society is owed answers. WE are owed an answer as to why a 44 y.o. woman was shot and BBQd whilst her killer spent $7K of her money. Why didn’t it go for capital murder? At least it was in Texas.

        Back to my original point: Max you’re compassion and empathy is evident in the way you moderate this forum. You are fair and reasoned in your approach and I doubt, … no, I know, I couldn’t be as even-tempered. Got issues on hot button topics and murdering your mother, well, that’s a no-go zone for me.

        Hmmm, think I should start a Max the Cat Fan Club. Any applicants can nominate themselves. I’ll be MaxFan#1000001 (got to leave room to accommodate large numbers). ;-p

    29. NavyCop says:

      I wasn’t threatening you, Randy. You told me to educate myself, I offered an example of my education (which I didn’t pay for, the Navy paid me to go to the school). Not “buddy”, by the way, another example of your ignorance. Not a dude, actually a Dudette. I have 8 hours a day, 7 days a week to think up witticisms that will be lost on you, you quivering mass of chlamydia goo. “shit talking ass?” That is the lamest insult I have ever heard. Try to be original, okay?
      What is your point in attempting to insult me? I haven’t done anything to you, have I? Am I amongst the massess that have been hounding you like a pack of brilliant wolves chasing down a mentally retarded three-legged cow? Negative. I’ve been away on buisness in Germany.
      Seriously, find a target that has earned your disgust and revilement. It’s not that I am defending you, it’s that I don’t find you to be a worthy target/opponent.
      Sincerely,
      NC

      • Budgiegirl says:

        Oh NavyCop,
        “you quivering mass of chlamydia goo”

        BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

        I’m sharing this one with my mom & sister!!!

        • NavyCop says:

          Lol, feel free to use it. I’ve used it several times before, for various and amusing reasons. Never used it audibly, though….. Ah well, the opportunity has not yet presented itself. >:)

    30. NavyCop says:

      Nope, not down the drain. I give my life freely to a worthy cause and I am proud of it. It’s because of people like me that you get to say whatever you want whenever you want.

      • Max The Cat says:

        Forget him NavyCop. I’m trying to figure out why he won’t ban – he keeps changing up his email address, but that shouldn’t matter. Might be time to report him to his ISP.

        • NavyCop says:

          No worries, he’s a useful as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.

        • Mulch says:

          Can you ban an IP?

          Randy just needs attention. He got it here. Max if he keeps posting no wories we’ll take care of it. Now go play wiht yer cats! And that was not a request.

          OH yesterday I feel asleep. Didn’t look for the arrest report. Today is friday. Going drinking. I plan on getting fall down throw up drunk today. No the car will be parked safely at home. Tomorrow I plan to have the mother of all hangovers. Sunday I stay away from computers. Next week? No idea. I did say it was of a low prioriety. If he wants the records so damn bad then he needs to go through the lawyer. Not my problem

          • Max The Cat says:

            That’s how it’s supposed to work Mulch – I’m not sure why It’s looking at email addresses all of a sudden. I’ve gotta talk to admin about it today.

            I need to make myself more familiar with the tech stuff.

            • Mulch says:

              Understand. Might also be that he’s using proxy’s?

            • Jason says:

              Did he implement that little link I sent?

              I’ve seen a significant reduction in proxy traffic thanks to that little number over the last year. Some get through, but not many.

            • Max The Cat says:

              No and yes – He’s not using a proxy Mulch, and I sent him the link Jason. As far as I know he was going to use it.

    31. vcbecky says:

      My only regret is that I never offered him taquitos…

      • matthewrmt says:

        That made me laugh!

        I don’t understand why Randy can’t understand that no matter how much superfluous bullshit he throws at the wall, none of it erases the maximum that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. No matter how many other suspicious characters were lurking around the area or how many people may have been pissed–only one lied about Laura’s where about (she moved to California–really?!?) and only one used her credit cards to buy $7000 worth of toys.

        Does Randy have any idea of the amount of energy and coordination between agencies would have to occur for this level of conspiracy? Seriously, numerous agencies, some not even connected to the case–as every agency has a level of watchdog with other agencies. The sheer scope of this conspiracy is beyond the capabilities of the majority of people–perhaps only television writers!

        Oh well, don’t need to be psychic to see where this will end: he will continue to see little green men in every shadow and soon will take to wearing tinfoil hats.

    32. Randy Langston says:

      ok ok,,,I’m raise’n tha white flag!

      Max,VC,NavyCop,Mulch….I apologize…

      After I bounced around your site a bit, I now understand where you guys are coming from.

      You do report on some ,lack of a better term,MESSED up stuff here.

      I understand what you guys are trying to do with the site….

      I was just stuck on this topic due to it being personal.

      Now Max…to you sir, I am sorry for the low jabs I took, I’m upset.

      It’s just when we get from trying to establish fact to name calling, especially on a touchy subject, it’s easy to get riled up.
      Plus this whole trying to stop the cigarette smoking is make’n me a bit edgy. I went for a walk, got a pack of ciggs and cooled off a bit..

      I am not just out looking for attention guys, I’ve had this stuff eating at me since it started, you must understand that-with all you do here,and all the upset people you deal with daily…or in my case…hourly…lol.I was just trying to make a few matters clear that people seemed to really have questions about..(actually, thats not correct-matters people just absolutely disagreed with).sorry guys.

      Max, I want to say thank you again for at least leaving up the info.
      There is no reason to fight with you guys, you aren’t the ones that did this. It’s just the comments,man….some of them slice like a knife.

      Oh, NavyCop–I was upset because I know who you where talking to.
      They were close friends. I kinda have to weigh that as well. There were times I thought that they may have been a part of things, but after I spent time with them and got to know them, I have no reason to believe that. Paulyne is ok,I spoke with her before, Chris was good friends with her as well. and no Paulyne,I don’t have his info so you can contact him.but thats beside the point, I am sorry for lashing out at you NavyC….People are going to think what they are going to think,I’m sorry.
      I just miss the way things used to be. I miss my mom like you wouldn’t imagine…I actually miss my whole f’d up family, but things will never even be close to the same, I lost everyone on my mom’s side of the family. And it hurts to know that they don’t care. It hurt to see how everyone just snapped, you can just see the hate in the eyes, and it hurts cause what ever way you look at it, it’s all about money….Thats why i took steps to get it in State collection.
      Only one person is going to get it,and thats my older brother. As much as he hates me right now, I still did that for him. It’s not some big conspiracy like that other guy mentioned, I feel it was Chris being an easy target. How many murder investigations have you heard of where they do not record by audio,or video on ANY interrogation? You had to have seen it to believe it, I wouldn’t believe me either if I didn’t witness this stuff. I’ll be back one day with the transcripts, I may have a different tone, I might not, but at least you will see I’m not batshit crazy…actually, I probably will be by then…..I hope like hell he didn’t do this to our mom.
      Again you guys, I’m sorry………

      So guys, keep the site going, I understand what you are trying to do. Just try not to hold it against me right now until I figure out what happened here.

      Maybe we’ll meet again on better terms one day,
      Randy Langston.

      Thanks for all on this site who stands up for the victims,This randy person seems to think people are stupid,just look at all of the post of him asking(talking )about money and trashing his whole network of people,then he blames the victims and thier familys for his actions on here and his brothers actions. Dose randy work for csi and if he does how does he have the time to be on here?Notice he evens blames ‘his better half; for the post above.This is a great site and please keep on fighting for the victim and not for trash like randy and others who trash victims for personal gain.I read the monitor and several other post and it looks like Randy had something to do with it but he didnt get convicted, according to one artical I read.You all should be proud of yourselves for protecting the values and dignty of the victims.May you all be given a special pass to heaven ,when the day comes.

      Randy,
      I was told about this site and all of your postings and I have to admit that my curiousity got the best of me and I am soooooo sorry for you.You attacking mike and my mom and everyone else next to mankind is so pathetic. I am sad Loli is gone but have made peace with the fact that life promises noone nothing. Forgiving and moving on with your life is a must if you want to have a life. What is coming and what has come out of your mouth is pure verbal vomit and it is disgusting. I ask only one thing from you—-leave my family out of your rantings—you really need help. I am that family that lost a loved one and I am also part of that family that can attest to the fact that you never gave a crap about your mom (my sister) nor your little brother that you are defending unless there was something in it for yourself. You are not fooling anyone but yourself—don’t you get it? I am emberassed for you and and have only one question for you—— HOW DOES YOUR POISON TASTE? My mom,brother, family or anyone else gives a rip about the money and you bloody well know that —Randy you really need to stop.There is a difference in speaking your mind and speaking with no mind. you have lost your mind and you are making a class act out of yourself.I wish you the best and I also ask you to stop trashing my family.When you type or speak Loli’s name give her the respect she deserves–I have no intentions of revisiting this website again so type,vent,or whatever it is you do and have fun. Don’t use my family as a means to blame or fill space.

        I apologize for allowing Randy to rant here on this site. It’s my fault for not fully understanding the banning process. I have since refreshed my memory about how to lock out a crackpot like Randy, and I promise you won’t have to read anymore of his nonsense, at least not on this website.

        We’re used to guys like Randy making excuses for the folks we write about, and I take it personally exactly for the reasons you stated his posts hurt you and your family so much. When someone makes unsubstantiated accusation against the victim’s family, it disrespects the victim and the victim’s family, and reopens old wounds that should be healing after the conclusion of the trial.

        The bottom line is if Randy thinks he has evidence that will prove Chris is innocent, the courtroom is the place to argue his case, and a lawyer should be the one doing the arguing. But he doesn’t, so he comes to places like this and rants and raves to serve whatever agenda he really has. Well, he won’t be getting away with it here anymore, even if I have to babysit this website 24 hours a day. It’s the least I can do to keep my promise to run PYSIH in support of all victims and their families.

      Hi Helen,I see you got sent here to,Max I respect what you do here and am sorry for Randys intrusion into your site,All of his lies can be easily seen just by his character assinations of everyone around him, this being said ,I really dont care what he says about me or what he thinks ,but what does piss me off is his character assination of the Hildago establishment(law enforcement-judicial establishment) ,these people work very hard to protect society and capture criminals and are probaly the last link for morality in texas,they deal with all kinds of trash everyday for small salarys and the belief in truth and god.Although Chris is convicted,he didnt act alone ,soon others will arrested.If we all do just 1 thing to make the world better,it wont take long to fix many problems we have,so thanks Max for doing your part in giving victims a voice.All problems have to be adressed at different angles and Max your site addresses a problem we all overlook–victims rights-.So keep up the good work and in the future when you see people attacking the decent people that help our society function(law enforcement-military-doctors-etc)its a good indication of shit talking trash trying to get a foot in the door and escape punishment which Is sure comming soon.Helen call me if you read this.

      Courtney, Randy has done nothing to go to jail for, and your posting is oddly scary. I know the family as well. Laura was a dear friend for many years. Helen, why do you say the things you do? You have not spoke with Randy in 15 years. Mike, I’ve listened to the recordings, and it is not at all how you portray your self on this website. That’s scary. Everyone needs to step back and look what you are doing to each other. Randy, you need to calm down and take a vacation. You guys are supposed to be family, start acting like it.

      Thank God this has came down to the end of Randy’s B/S…Chris fought the Law and the Law WON!!!! Randy at one point said that Chris did infact Lied to him about other things but I still myself think he was part of her death, what did Randy do with the cellphone pic’s he took of her dead body on phone? I so hope this madness will stop and the family can get some rest over a Very Very sad ending of her life…… R.I.P. Laura
