Ron “Wikkid” Weems, Laurell Pruett, Ashley Greenhill, and Matthew Fox
How well do any of us really know our friends? I’m sure most of us would like to think we know them very well especially if they’ve been around your family for years. Let me start my telling all of you that this is a gut wrenching story and it’s very close to my heart because it happened only about 15 miles from my home. I have gotten to know the victim’s family and they are very good people that should not be going through something like this.
Amanda Taylor, 32, from Leighton Alabama was a beautiful, outgoing,loving mother to three children. She was a wonderful daughter/sister/aunt/cousin/and friend to many great people.
On October 17,2011 Mr. Lee, Amanda’s boyfriend picked her up from work but since he had to run errands he dropped Amanda off at Ron Weems’s home to use his computer. Ron and Amanda had known each other for years being as how Ron was once married to her sister and they had two children together.Because of this I’m pretty sure Amanda felt as though she could trust Ron. At around 3pm Mr. Lee returned to the Moss Avenue home to pick Amanda up, instead he saw Ashley Greenhill and Laquania Weems, Ron’s mother sitting on the porch. Ashley came out swinging a hatchet and told Mr. Lee that Amanda had assaulted Ron and then ran off and wasn’t welcome back. Being fearful for his life, Mr. Lee left.
Laurell Pruett, Ron’s current girlfriend, showed up to the home and Ron immediately pulled her inside the bathroom. Sweating, out of breath and without a shirt on Ron confessed he had just killed Amanda. 
So Laurell decided they should file a police report stating that Amanda Taylor had assaulted Ron, in order to cover their tracks. After all Ron had scratches on his arms and wrists. Little did the police know that those were wounds of a young woman fighting for her life and that her lifeless body was only miles away in the basement of Ron’s mother’s home. The law, as of now, states you can’t file a missing person report for an adult until after they’ve been missing for 48 hours. So on October 19,2001 Brandy Leeth reported her sister missing.
The local newspaper did one article about the missing young mother. The news didn’t even air it on television until Amanda’s father, Mr. Leeth, sent them an e-mail asking them to broadcast his missing daughter’s case. This man has even started a Facebook page asking for leads, making fliers and giving his phone number out in case people didn’t want to speak to investigators. This is a very strong man. He had absolutely no help from the media yet he still wouldn’t give up. In fact, Ron contacted him and told him that she was seen Amanda with a man in a nearby town knowing all along where she was. Mr. Leeth still hasn’t gave up. He is even trying to help other families who find themselves in the same situation he was in. That to me let’s me know that no matter what the tragedy is if you want you can turn it in to something positive.
On November 7, 2011 Ashley Greenhill, the hatchet swinging stripper, went to the police station and told detectives she had overheard Ron telling Laurell “not to worry they’ll never find her body and if they do it will be already decayed.” Ashley said she was afraid of Weems and moved out of his home. Don’t give Ashley too much credit yet though.
This story has some crazy twists maybe it’s time to explain them now. After Ron and his ex-wife divorced he started dating Laurell Pruett, from Huntsville Alabama who already had two children. Both were disabled and neither were in Laurell’s care but instead in the care of the department of human resources. Ron and Laurell started dating but described it as an open relationship. Shortly thereafter, Laurell got pregnant by Ron but that didn’t slow them down any. Instead they decided to bring another woman into their relationship, for the both of them. Evidently Ron is not just a gigalo but he’s also fertile-Myrtle because this other “lady” also got pregnant. She was a lot smarter than Laurell though….she got away. Just before she gave birth to their triplets. At the time the time the crime was committed Laurell and Ron were still together but Laurell was living else where and had a girlfriend whom she called “wifey.” Their daughter was living with Ron and his mother.
Ashley Greenhill of Florence, Alabama is a mother of two and already has a long rap sheet. Back in 2008, Ashley’s 2 year old son,who lived with her parents, came to visit with her but when she took him back the next day her parents noticed the child has bite marks all over his body and scratches to his back and extremities. Her parents immediately went to the police and she was arrested for felony child abuse since she was already out on bond for burglary,theft of property, criminal mischief, and receiving stolen property her bond was revoked. She took a plea deal and went to drug rehab. Thank goodness her parents were smart enough to go to the police then to take up for her.
I should also tell you all that Ron, Laurell, Ashley, Fox and many many more(you’ll see when the supporters show up) have formed a clown gang. Yes that’s right a clown gang. They call themselves the Juggalos(men members) and juggalettes(female members) they get together, paint their faces like clowns, carry hatchets, and listen to a band called ICP. Let me just say….I do not think in any way what so ever that them listening to ICP had anything to do with this murder. It’s just a part of the story that I must entail. In the fall 2011 Ashley began living with Ron, Laquania, and Laurell and Ron’s child at the Moss avenue home. Although Laurell and Ashley were friends they shared the same man, sexually. Matthew Fox, 21, Florence, didn’t know any of the people involved except for Ashley and I bet he wish hadn’t had met her or any of the others now.
A few days after Ashley met with detectives to tell them about Laurell and Ron’s conversation she met with them once again. She told detectives that Ron said “he dropped her on a road with tall grass on each side of the road near Leighton Alabama.” After driving around for a little bit Ashley told them to stop at Gnatt Pond Road in Muscle Shoals Alabama. While detectives closely watched, Ashley went into some brush and came out and told detectives it looked as if something had been drug through there but she didn’t see anything.
Police returned to the same spot this time without Ashley and they went to the same spot she had. This time they found hair and immediately called in the cadaver dogs. Now let me just tell you all that here in North Alabama we have 100,000s of acres of pasture,fields, and woods. Just about everywhere you look is exactly what Ron Weems had explained. How in the world could she just go to the exact spot unless, of course, she hadn’t already been there?
The next day on 12-3-11 the police and cadaver dogs went to Gnatt pond where they found Amanda’s skull, and several bones, some broken, some cut. They then searched the Moss Avenue resident and found Amanda’s blood on the wall and floor in the basement. The next day, Stacy Young contacted the police and told them that Ron and Laurell had set some stuff on fire in her yard the day after Amanda came up missing. When police searched the fire pit they found Amanda’s necklace, 4 earrings, some clothing and other items.
Laurell was the first of the suspects to be interviewed and she sang like a bird. She admitted that they had burned the stuff. She said it was a pair of pants, 2 shirts, a plastic bag of articles, and a plastic ice cream bucket. Pruett also said that after they had filed the assault report on Amanda that they had went back to the house where she saw Amanda’s body laying face up, her pants and panties were removed, she was purple and had a ligature mark around her neck, the nylon strap was lying next to her.
At around 10:30-11pm Fox and Ashley showed up to help their fellow clown fans. Fox made the suggestion that Ron cut off Amanda’s fingers and toes to conceal her identity. Weems got a kitchen knife and started cutting her fingers and toes off, he would drop each one in the plastic ice cream bucket. I guess it was just too much for Ashley and Laurell because they went upstairs to smoke some weed and take Valiums. Also let me tell you both Laquania and Laurell’s daughter were there at the time. How could Laquania Weems not know what was going on in her own home? At approximately 1am Fox helped Weems load Amanda’s body into Ron’s Honda Accord. Then Fox went home. Ron left and about 2 hours later he returned to the house and told Laurell that he had disposed of her body near Leighton and busted her teeth out a hammer. They then went to bed. How oh how does someone go to sleep after all of that?
Since Laurell testified Ron admitted to it as well except he said Amanda tried to hit him with a concrete block so he just killed her in self defense. Yeah right!! Because of the confessions all three were arrested(police report). Ron and Fox were charged with murder and abuse of a corpse, Fox also got hindering prosecution. Laurell was charged with murder and hindering prosecution. They are all still in jail on $500,000 bond. The reason they say they murdered her was for a child support check she supposedly stole…Laurell received it in the mail on October 19,2011. And of course when the defense have nothing else they always say they have some kind of mental illness. This case is no different they said Ron was bi-polar and that played a major role in the crime.
So what is Ashley being charged with? Nothing, Nadda, Zip….yet anyways. I totally understand that they wouldn’t have found her when they did without Ashley’s help but that should give her a “get out of jail for murder card” In fact Fox would’ve never met Ron or Laurell had it not been for Ashley. Mr. Lee was lied to and threatened by none other that Ashley Greenhill. I just hope she gets charged just as harsh as the others. Personally I believe Ashley, Ron,Laurell, Fox, and Laquania all deserve to be charged. Laquania should be charged with hindering prosecution if nothing else.
Now I’m asking everyone to please, please sign this petition for the Amanda Alert. It would allow people to report their adult loved one missing as soon as you realize they are missing. Although, I realize this probably wouldn’t have saved Amanda’s life it might would have sent the police to Ron’s home while the body was still in the basement and the family wouldn’t have had to live in agony for almost two months.
Please help Mr. Leeth pass this law, remember it could be you, your family member or friend. Thanks in advance,my dear friends.

This article comes from Tiffany, and it was a doozy. She researched it and I went through it and searched high and low for anything she might have missed. I’m pleased to say I really didn’t find much. Please give me a hand congratulating her. Thanks also to Shoalanda Speaks, a blog that’s been out front with this and has been an invaluable resource.

Just some info for your story. ICP stands for Insane Clown Posse. They are a very popular (I’m not a fan) hardcore hip hop group that performs as “wicked clowns”. All there fans are know as Juggalos. Not all of them are axe wielding psychos like this deranged group.
Thanks. MCL
There was a murder in the Quad City area of Illinios, (Moline/Rock Island) that involved teenage ICP followers several years ago. I think it was featured here and on dateline and some other shows. Same type of crazy carnage, drugs, etc. It was an awful story.
Okay, what I didn’t understand (until looking for other sources) is that there is no established, clear motive for murdering Amanda. That was a bit frustrating reading this piece, because I went through it three times. I understood what they did after they killed her, but I had no inkling of how or why based just on what I read here.
Read what I wrote right under where the red letters state “police report”
“The reason they say they murdered her was for a child support check she supposedly stole…Laurell received it in the mail on October 19,2011.”
That tells you right there what the motive was.
Actually she did cash it. And it was all Ron’s idea, I was one of the “lucky few” (I sure don’t feel so lucky to know any of them now) who knew about it as it all went down. The one Laurel got in the mail was the replacement for that first check. Ron and Amanda orchestrated getting her a fake ID with Laurel’s name on it and SSN, and they had already blown through all the money by the end of the month. Same as they did when Laurel got the replacement check. Eating out all the time, tattoos all over the place, new clothes, new tech, they blew straight through that one too.
So now we are back to having no motive.
Have you told either Mr. Leeth that info or the authorities?
Yes. I notified the authorities of this back in December when this all broke out in the news.
It is seriously weird how many murder cases involve Juggalos. Usually they’re the murderers, but remember that Canadian dude who got his head cut off while he was sleeping on a Greyhound? He was a Juggalo.
ICP has a hilarious song talking about magnets (among other wtf things) being proof of God’s existence. I wish I could remember the name of it so I could post it and people could go enjoy the hilarity for themselves.
The song is called “Miracles.”
There’s much funnier songs. That’s what they are about. Not being a gang, or killing,.. just poking fun at stuff, and getting your giggle on.
Sure. o_O
Please tell me that grown adults, people who hold down jobs and pay the rent, don’t dress up as clowns in a “clown gang”.
Really? Seriously?
That is at least as weird as donning your Darth Vader costume to play Star Wars in your room full of collectible action figures.
This made me lol. Gods, it’s sad but true.
Or like those people who wear sports costumes/jerseys/etc. They just walk around with some guy’s name on their backs as casual as you please. Sometimes even with matching caps. It’s so ridiculous. They’re like little boys who won’t take off their Spiderman jammies. I don’t know if they think anyone is going to mistake them for a famous athlete because they’re wearing a shirt or cap that has a team name on it or if they just have that bad of taste.
People wear sports jerseys to support their team and the player whose name they are wearing. Nobody who spends $100 or more (authentic NFL jerseys for example are super expensive) on a jersey is thinking: “hey, I wanna be mistaken for ______”, they are just buying something to wear to the game and to show people that they are a fan of the team and even the player. It’s nothing like people dressing up like Darth Vader.
Really? I think dressing up like Darth Vader for a SciFi convention to show your support for George Lucas and fandom of the film and/or specific character is very much the same. You are just fans of different things: athletics, arts…apples and oranges, but both fruit. :-)
Absurdist, Supposedly the murder was over a missing check. I have heard conflicting reports about it. 1)Amanda stole Laurell’s check 2)That Ron stole Laurell’s check and Amanda knew. She told Laurell therefore Ron got mad and killed her.
Please everyone sign this petition and help other victims. Who knows it just might be you or one of your loved ones that it helps to save.
Okay, thanks for that, Tiffany. I couldn’t really settle into things when all I could see was gaping holes. Still, horrific and brutal, and still over a relative triviality Makes no sense at all.
The scariest fact is this all happened so close to my place of work. Every employeer is now not allowed to leave the office, to even walk to their cars, unless if two or more is walking with you. Something needs to change in Alabama for these murders! Why can’t the death penelty be brought back!? I mean seriously, if you murder a victom, you deserve to be murdered yourself!
While I appreciate that the articles here are posted by volunteers, and I commend Emily on taking on such a twisted tale, this was very very difficult to read and follow. Who are the people in the pictures? What went down in that house with Ron and her? Who is Florence, or is that where Mathew Fox was from? Was the motive actually a child support check? What are the prosecutors using as motive? etc etc.
This is still a current investigation, so things like motive can change day-to-day.
I did get a bit confused about who/what Florence is and picture captions could help. The author is a fb friend and I know from her status post how much this has affected her. It may have been a simple mistake. I believe Jason and Cleo are doing the role of editor right now and they are learning as they go while they hold down ship until Max The Cat gets better. I’m pretty sure it will get fixed soon.
Florence is a city in Alabama.
The pictures themselves have tool tips*archaic term for hover overs). They were not originally part of the story, but instead were part of my own research in investigating the case. This case is “fresh” and while there are other resources, other than criminal records on 2 of the suspects, the police report and some minor Alabama newspaper articles, the information I felt I could extend beyond the original author’s excellent “sleuthing” were limited.
As an interim editor, the main things I corrected were a few small spelling errors, three commas, a couple of weird sentences and a careful fact check. I do agree with you that Motive would be a nice piece on this, but the story is told with a strong “voice,” that of Tiffany, and in a style not unlike the sort you’d hear from a favorite neighbor. Facts are there, but maybe not the sort you’d get from a traditional news source. Tiffany mentions in the article that she has communicated with the family of the victim through Facebook. This means she was able to bring a few pieces I was only able to verify through comments made on other blogs by Tiffany and the victim’s family, despite my contacting of an AP reporter who knew of the topic, but had no complete knowledge on the story.
I really came through with the story and released it because I like the way she wrote it, felt horrified at the seeming insanity of the love quadrangle that was built around the actions, and felt intrigued enough to go looking for more, but not necessarily finding it. It is a different kind of voice, but one I can appreciate. I hope she again contributes as I hope you do.
I urge you to continue offering constructive criticism. I’ll work to edit the story a bit more and clean up my additions.
Tool tips aren’t showing up on the 2 browsers on my android.
I also predict a few update posts in the next 6-12 months as this goes to trail and more information is availible (and hopefully more arrests).
Thanks for the info. And I look forward to ALL of the pieces that are posted on this site. I check it daily, to see if anything new has been posted. Keep up the great work, all of you!!
You look forward to new stories of murder and depravity, EVERY DAY? Will we be seeing a story about you on here someday in the future?
I’m a sick puppy. It’s the stories that keep me from acting out! ;)
1st picture-Weems
2nd pic with the kids–Amanda Taylor,the victim
3rd–pic Laurell Pruett
4th &5th–Ashley Greenhil
6th–Matthew Fox
Florence is a city where Fox is from. Florence, Alabama. The motive was a CHILD SUPPORT CHECK.
I comment Tiffany, not Emily, sorry for that mix up.
Over a damn child support check? Wtf?
In Iowa, child support is direct deposit or you get is something called a “Reliacard” that is like a debit card, but it only holds the child support money. I’ve been using a Reliacard since 2003. While it has some hassel (like a $1.50 charge after 2 cash withdrawls a month), it is hella eaiser and safer than waiting for it to come in the mail. Why doesn’t Alabama have that. Think of the postage the state would save.
As for the Juggelos: I have some friends that love ICP, including my first daughter’s dad. Most “typical” Juggelos are just fans. They listen to the albums, buy a few t-shirts or stickers and paint their faces to go see them live whenever a show is nearby. Yeah, they write songs about killing people and “chicken hunting”, but it is all done tounge-in-cheek.
I personally can’t stand ICP. I get it, but I don’t like it.
The sad thing is, a small number of Juggelos think the characters portrayed by ICP are real and they want to be just like them : hatchet-swinging, faygo drinking, murderous clowns. Sadly, there have been many brutal murders and child abuse cases against this “Juggelo offshoot”, probably because they aspire to be hatchet-swinging, faygo drinking, murderous clowns. In other words, they are fucking morons.
While I place no blame on ICP for the acts of fucking morons, I kinda wish they would do a song calling out this “Juggelo offshoot”. Kind of like when eminem made that song “Stan” in response to fucking morons thinking that just cause a song is about killing a woman, doesn’t mean it is ok to kill a woman.
I wonder if the stripper used the hatchet in her act.
They call the unsavory fans “jugga-ho’s”. They’ve covered the subject of “the delusional fan a few times. Thanks for your comment.
Lol I never knew that term. I love it.
I once saw a few “jugga hoes”, they were these rich blonde bitches rebelling from mommy and daddy by wearing ICP shirts while shoplifting Faygo. They were about 17 or 18. Hiding the Faygo in their coach bags.
One of them was sleeping with a friend of a friend of mine. He was 25 then and left his baby’s mom to hang out with this trash. I haven’t seen him in years…don’t really want to.
Wow. ICP has already done songs about it and the offshoots still think it is real? Damn. That really sucks for the band.
I suggest an offshoot group start among the Juggalos to round up the bad apples and go all Dexter on them. They are no different than those fools in the 80′s that said heavy metal made them kill.
I remember the Judas Priest lawsuit, when the two boys were listening to “Stained Class” (an excellent album) and decided to shoot themselves. One succeeded in killing himself, and the other, James Vance, blew off the lower half of his face (and was the inspiration for “Arseface” in the “Preacher” comic series). Do a Google image search for “James Vance” if you want to give yourself the horrors.
Judas Priest, quite logically, argued in court that it would hardly be to their financial benefit to insert subliminal messages in their music telling their fans to kill themselves.
This story should have included the motive. Leaving the story open to interpretation, (was it rape, the pants were down, and there was blood) isn’t very “like” this site. And that’s what I loved about this site.
Smilee, there was no rape….it’s about a child support check of Laurell’s.
I thought of rape being a motive because the pants and underwear were taken off of the victim, and the “blood” the girl reportedly saw (though she described it as “period” blood, but who would really know if it was or wasnt).
If it was just over $ then why the heck were her pants and undies down??!
How could it be rape when she willingly slept with him for years? I seriously doubt he raped her.
So if you’ve slept with someone once they have a right to you forever? Don’t think so.
Not sure how relevant that is to this particular story- but FYI, you know…
Tiffany, Great job, given the awful subject…
A stripper with an axe? Well, that’s appropriate, isn’t it? I mean, watching a stripper in action is supposed to make you get wood, so it makes perfect sense that she should be wielding an axe.
And “Wikkid”? Jesus fuck, what brainfart came up with that nick-name? Whatever happened to originality? Or literacy for that matter. “Wikkid”… just writing it makes me shudder in disgust.
Now that I have that out of the way, let me just say thank you Tiffany, Jason and Cleo. This is a story worthy of its place here. To some degree I agree with the comments made by bones in regard to the readability of this article. As I’m writing this the pictures of ashley greenhill (#4 & #5) obscure some of the text (it seems as if the beginning of one sentence is missing), at one point the year jumps from 2011 to 2001 (obviously a typo), and there are a few too many offshoots in the storyline to make it easy to follow.
But considering the nature of the story, the many facets of it, and that this is a first effort all around… all I can say is WELL DONE! All in all I’m with diekatze on this. It will get better. So keep up the good work! :-)
First, thanks to Tiffany and PYSIH for the shout out. Second, the motive is still really up in the air. The police are playing it close, but a stolen check seems to be the main motive. As for why a check, we don’t know. Most child support is via a type of debit card in Alabama, so there are a lot of questions that won’t be answered until the trial.
As to Boss’ Secretary, none of these people, with the exception of Laurel Pruett, had a job. She was a part time cashier at a mini-mart. They all seemed to live on various types of welfare, and Ron had applied for a disability for a heart condition. What, he had an actual heart?
Kudos to Tiffany for a great write up!
Thanks Shoalanda. I am just waiting on the supporters to get here any minute now. Thanks for posting a link to PYSIH on your blog.
I have to agree this was a great story, but I did leave this story having no idea why he killed her other than he did and with the panties gone it did leave a feeling he raped her.. Why were the panties gone? If you get any further update on this.. I would clarify the reason as you know it… or the explanation by the Killer… And of course it is only speculation as to it being true..
Did you read the police report? That’s the confessions from the killers. Did anyone else read what Shoalanda Speaks comment was? They really don’t know a motive other than the theory that it’s over a child support check.
Also if you’d like to do a story maybe a better one since there seems to be a problem with mine I’m sure Jason would accept it.
Perhaps it was because I read the story, and appreciated how hard it was to find information that I grew to appreciate it even more. Sometimes the best writing in the world is the writing that makes us think for ourselves. Your story has that expertise down pat, and as I said before, you have the voice of a neighbor I respect. That’s the right way and I think I’d love to read more of it.
Thanks Jason. It seems like everyone is criticizing the way I wrote it and it just bothers me.
My Appologies to you, Tif, I may have come off sounding critical. I dont’ mean to be negative towards your efforts, honestly.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing all the developments, and I appreciate your efforts at putting it together for us, this early on.
Many thanks, more than you know,…
I liked the writeup.
I think some of the criticism with the story is less about your writing than an apparent lack of editing. Jason mentioned that your style is like hearing from an in-the-know neighbor, which I can see and do respect. But in writing, the idle gossip style can get rather twisty and difficult to follow.
Some rearranging and streamlining could have made the article clearer without losing any personal flavor. Grammar and spelling mistakes are also something an editor could touch up, since at the moment it seems almost more like an extensive comment by someone whose forte lies in the tale over the mechanics.
And before anyone gets shirty or instructs me to enter my own damn story, I’d like to say that this is just an attempt at constructive criticism. After all, the most important part of this site is making these awful stories known, and I would think that keeping them as readable as possible could only help the cause. I admire the research and obvious heart you put into this Tiffany, and hope you don’t take any offense at what I’ve written.
thanks glad to see you guys back :)
Nice Job!! It’s hard doing your first one, I am sure. Great job and congratulations.
True story, the FBI included Juggalos as a gang in their 2011 gang report. This must suck for the band and the non-stupid ICP fans. Personally, I don’t think they are a gang, just that some of the dumber fans don’t realize what a joke the personas are.
(Insane Clown Posse’s members are actually Christians, didn’t see that one coming.)
But I live in Alabama and I hadn’t heard of this. Great job, Tiffany.
Thanks Zillah. What part of Bama you from? I’ve lived all over Alabama
I’m in Birmingham-or right outside it anyway. Yep, living in the country that just filed the biggest bankrupcy case ever.
Oh, I know it’s not your first-I remember your earlier articles. I’m just glad someone good is on the Alabama evil crime beat. There’s a surpising lot of it.
I only live about 2 hours from Birmingham. My grandfather was a sheriff in Jasper Alabama and got killed in the line of duty. The memorial at Jasper courthouse is for him.
Thanks Zillah. What part of Bama you from? I’ve lived all over Alabama
Also this isn’t my first article!!
There is one fact here that has no bearing on this case, but it still needs correcting.
Laurel’s oldest two cildren moved to Florence wit her. She only lost custody of them about two and 1/2 years ago.
LOL, I need to correct myself…. Children and with.
Don’t buy a HP wireless keyboard. It seems everyday I have a new key that wants to stick.
The grammar in this is absolutely terrible and I can honestly make neither head nor tail of what went on.
Give ‘em a break, Jules. The story is still developing and colloquial Southern American English takes years for a writer to “translate” into Standard American English.
Read it again.
And again.
Until you get it: it is important enough for someone to tell the story; they deserve to be understood. Jason did his best. Now it’s your turn.
Please submit your own article.
This is a terrible but fascinating crime. I thought the few colloquialisms added an interesting dimension to the article. This story has everything: Juggalos, a hatchet-wielding stripper, a scary-looking girlfriend, a Southern Gothic mama named Laquania who apparently let her baby boy and his posse run tame and, unfortunately, a very pretty and sympathetic victim. Thanks, Tiffany, I look forward to your next report.
I haven’t been around much lately, but I did want to let you guys know that I’ve been checking the site from time to time, even if I didn’t comment. The people that have taken on the writing of the articles while Max is ill…. you are all just awesome! It’s really great to see everyone pulling together to get the job done.
Thanks for keeping one of my fav sites going. Get well soon, Max the Cat!
thank you to Tiffany for contributing an article and keeping this site going. it is appreciated :)
I stumbled across your website a few months ago but never thought I would read a story about someone I knew… I actually attended Brooks High in Florence with Ashley greenhill… And hung out with her on a daily basis intil I moved back to my hometown in Ga. We were all huge fans of ICP back then but I figured we would all grow out of it. I know I did. Woowww. What a crazy thought. I am really just in disbelief to see her on here but I dont guess I should be.. Thanks for posting
GooD job Tiff!! I know I’ve told u already, but I just read this again, as I can’t seem to stop thinking about my dear, dear friend!!! I haven’t been able to get Amanda off my mind these last 5 days!?!? Maybe she’s trying to tell me something, idk, I keep n touch with Mr. Billy and really wanna do something else n her honor/memory. But I’m gonna wait a little bit on that, I’ll let u know when I get something else up for her and the family. Please everyone sign this petition, u never know when it could b u, ur family, or friends!!! 48 hrs could very well be the difference n life and death!!!! And I would like to personally thank everyone that attended the candle light vigil for Amanda!! I think we helped the family out, at the very least we showed them how much Amanda was loved and how we support them. WE WANT JUSTICE, WE WANT JUSTICE, WE WANT JUSTICE!!! JUSTICE FOR AMANDA AND HER PRECIOUS FAMILY!!!!
Being a geek, I would have to make a Visio diagram just to figure out who is related to who / who is sleeping with who / who is paying and collecting child support……
I think a spider would get confused trying to make such a web…
Bottom line – the petition is a great idea, but the flaw with that will be the number of people who’d become surprised to find out that the one they love & trust is a cheating scum bag.
While Amanda sounds like a nice person, who she or who her boyfriend had her hang out with – well they have showed themselves for what they are…..
I’d like to say that I am a juggalo (I don’t like the term juggalette). I am sick of stories like this that come out and are published and, while the murders are heinous, have NOTHING to do with the fact that the people involved were/are ICP fans. If that part was taken out of the story it would be exactly like everything else we read on here. But once someone says, “oh and they like ICP” it turns into a bash fest. I’m sick of this. The freaking FBI has officially put Juggalos on the gang list. That’s absurd. This whole mess is ridiculous. There are ALWAYS bad seeds in every single social group. But people will continue to hate what they don’t understand. Have fun being close-minded and judgmental.
Hello JessJuggalo,
Please reread this part of the story.
“Let me just say….I do not think in any way what so ever that them listening to ICP had anything to do with this murder. It’s just a part of the story that I must entail.”
I knew someone would come on here and try to say ICP didn’t have anything to do with this….blah blah blah!! WELL DUH…even I said that in the story.
Also you say have fun being judgmental….are you not judging us? IJS, because that’s sure what it sounds like.
I could careless if these “clown freaks” sound Kum-bi-eye around a damn campfire the fact of the matter is that they killed a woman, a daughter, a mother of 3 kids, they dismembered her body etc. etc.
Please come back when you have a plausible excuse for these freaks. Also I got one more thing wrong with your theory. You say it’s absurd that the FBI call Juggalo/Juggalo’s a gang. What’s absurd with that? What makes them any different than bloods, crips, folk, MS13, Latin kings etc?

Ashley Greenhill finally got indicted. Oh and yours truly screw you for real, no matter what she DIDN’T deserve to DIE in such a manner.
Hmm well in my opinion, it would not make a difference if they dressed up with face paint or not. In these situations, people will always point a finger at something (not saying you are Tiffany) but for example, it could have been Eminem, Manson, or even Call of Duty for that matter…. Just sayin ;)
I like ICP, I would never consider myself to be a “Juggalette” but that’s because I hate stereotyping myself. I listen to their music (as well as all other types of music) and I have dressed up with face paint as ICP and Twizted several times. I think it is a lot of fun, and don’t think I am a child or childish for enjoying it, even thought it has been a couple of years since I’ve done it. You paint your face, go to a concert and meet other cool people into what you are into. Some fans take it further then others…
Now back OT, They are all gross people for doing what they did, and it’s not justice for this lil slut to walk free. Let some fellow ICP fans hear about what she did, how they took away a mother from her children… I guarantee she’ll leave with a hatchet up her ass.
oops just saw she’s not off scotch free sorry :P still maybe some juggalo’s will find her in jail :)
He is even trying to help other family members who are in the same scenario he was in. That to me we will me know that regardless of what the disaster is if you want you can convert it in to something good.
I can see that a lot of work went into this piece, however it would be so much easier to read and follow if someone proofread and corrected it – so many typos make it hard work for the reader.
just thought you should know that you have the story wrong and your facts are mostly fiction. thanks for slandering the name of one the people listed as they are not guilty of most of what you have said! you are just trying to make a name for yourself and it doesn’t seem you even care who you hurt getting there as you have not checked on most of your facts. I know!
…
…and? Waiting on the “true facts”
I’ll look into your concerns Luke, and I’ll correct or remove the story if I find you’re right.
But if you’re bullshitting us, your ass is mine.

Well, dickhead, according to the Felony Complaint, available HERE, on December 11, 2011, Ronald Weems confessed to ABI agent Brian Faulkner that he strangled Amanda Taylor to death. Also, Laurell Pruett confessed that she and the other two defendants, Ashley Greenhill, and Matthew Fox, all assisted Weems in the dismembering and disposal of Taylor’s body.
Next time you want to contest a story here, at least have the courtesy to know what the fuck you’re talking about.

Just love the bit where he says “You don.t seem to care who you hurt” Um now im sure that while they were murdering that poor woman, they didn.t seem to care who they hurt. God what a knobhead.
Max the Cat:
If you truly are affiliated with this site and really do consider yourself an “editor,” I would encourage you to further your understanding of structure, grammar, and fluency- all sorely missing from this article. While you do have the facts correct, I’ll assume, I think anyone with a high school education not from the South could have written this better.
I appreciate the effort it takes in writing these stories, but this was incredibly hard to follow and understand. Please don’t say, the write your own. I probably wouldn’t do much better, which is why I read this site and don’t write for it. I love this site particularly for the well written articles, so this was disappointing. I am only posting because of the writers attitude with those who dare to point this out. Instead of being pissy, take the complaints and use them to help you in the next story. It is hard to follow, that’s a valid complaint. What happened to her was terrible, but the impact is lessened when the article is so confusing. Sorry if this was offensive, but it is what it is.
Juggalos/ettes are effin retards,,,,,Go Figure!!!
You rang?
ummmmmmmmmm im a juggalette and i have been for 14 years and im not an effin retard Diamond, im a chill person who doesnt lose their head or anything, i cut off my hair for breast cancer ive done alot of nice stuff that others that claim to be nice dont do and i am 20 years old. Yes there are some wacked ass people out there that claim to be family and all but there not, most people have actually lost what the meaning behind icp is, its not a bunch of crazy clowns who go out talking about killing everyone and blood and shit everywhere, no, they talk about killing women beaters, pedos, child beater, rapists, abusers, anything in those circumstances. i dont go out killing everybody because im a clown and im a lette, no im actually doing alot better then what i used to, hell i used to do drugs ya i wasnt perfect but instead not im gettng help for myself. ive got 64 days clean and sober from drugs and alcohol. you know, only some people who claim it doesnt really know what its about, the carnival and shang-ri-la is heaven, its based apon god and religion, listen to ICP-Thy Unveiling. itll explain it alot better than i can, and least our shit isnt about pussy, money, weed, or gangs and crips and bloods and shit like ‘lil wayne.’ and also Juggalettes & Juggalos are not just into icp were into Boondox, Twiztid, ABK, Tech N9ne, so forth, me personally i have faded away from icp and am more into Boondox, Abk, and Twiztid, thats just me and others like that. As the United States has labeled as a gang some of the others out there make it into a gang when its not. Js((: now to end this right.

I really do love trying to read this blog. The crimes are horrific and despite the horrendous grammar and lack of structure I continue to read it. Dear Author, if you ever need someone who can check your writing before you publish it, I would love to volunteer.
The incredibly unedited story makes it nearly impossible to understand what actually happened besides a man murdered a woman and covered it up with the help of some seemingly loser friends. I get that. But you would have an incredible readership if only you typed your story in Microsoft Word before you submitted it for all to read. Please get in contact with me before writing any more.
Fuck off Nate.
Fuck off Nate, you and your undeserved sense of self worth and superiority. Fuck yourself with a rusted dildo
Nate, grow the fuck up. When Max returns, voice that complaint to him, until then, shut your gaping cocktrap of a mouth.
Nate, Nate, Nate…if you have not noticed, at one point and time, this website had many,many people who donated their time to tell the stories of innocent people who were brutallyabused/murdered.Max would fact check these stories, correct grammar mistakes that jumped out at him, and then post them. Stories about senseless violence against the weakest members of society. And the unpaid writer’s grammar is what bothers you? Hmmmm. Well fyi, max has not been feeling well in many months. When he returns, to so many people’s delight, I am sure your helpful comment will be considered. Please excuse any grammercal error that I may have made in this post.
