Census Worker Bill Sparkman Found Bound, Gagged and Naked

Many have speculated -- including True Crime Report -- that Sparkman was killed by some deranged conservative sent hellbound by media and political propaganda against the government. True/Slant's Rick Ungar even wrote a piece titled "Send the body to Glenn Beck."

I don't understand how you would jump to this conclusion. Because he was a part-time census worker and the word "feds" appeared to be written on his chest. That word doesn't even make sense - what does that mean? That a census employee works for the federal government? If that's the message the killer wanted to get across I could think of a dozen different words that would work far better. What else do we know about this guy? I don't think we have enough information to form any conclusion at this point as to who the killer was and what his or her political views were. Apparently the KY state police have enough sense so it's too bad you don't.

I don't think it was drug dealers. They wouldn't make such a big deal out of displaying the body. That's only going to bring a lot of heat on the area. Someone writing "fed" on the body clearly has a problem with the federal goverment.

'Interesting', it could just have easily been a survivalist, whose home had been stumbled upon; or a meth cooker just clever enough to attempt mis-direction; there are probably other scenarios possible. If you've traveled in that area, it's a place where a stranger is spotted quickly, and not warmly welcomed, much less a stranger with a Federal ID, asking questions. I agree that the most unusual aspect is the display of this man's body. Why would anyone want to attract the attention of the Feds? Why would anyone want to bring strangers into the area? The FBI are unlikely to react by avoiding it, or dropping the case.
The duct tape, etc. will tell the story eventually. My opinion? His murder will turn out to be related to who Bill Sparkman was, not what he represented. R.I.P.

Yep. Looks more and more as if it was indeed suicide. No defensive wounds, no height in the "hanging".

It would be interesting to see how his hands were bound and how he was hanged - and to figure out how he could have done that by himself - before deciding it was a suicidal insurance scam.

We're waiting for our apology. Let us know where you bury it.

I'm not surprised that anyone would kill or harm a temporary, part-time Census worker. For some ignorant people Census workers embody the only person that works for the government that they can actually get close to or vent their frustrations on, and it is on THEIR turf. Census workers have been threatened, verbally berated and mistreated, had doors slammed in their faces, verbally and physically threatened with bodily harm, and basically treated very poorly by many people while they were merely trying to do the job they were hired to do ... count people. They have been racially disrespected by residents and racially discriminated against by people who are supposed to be in charge of them, and raciually disprespected by other Census workers also. The Census has cost the tax payer millions of dollars in the thinly diguised ploy of possibly bringing more tax dollars to an area that has been undercounted for years. In truth, there is so much Waste, Fraud, and Abuse going on within the Census in every city in every state and so much of our tax dollars have been wasted by the temporary employees that anything that MAY be recovered was lost long before the Census ever began this year. All of the documentation, the repeated surveys of same residences, the fraudulent claims of hours and mileage reported by the temporary workers, the wasted preprinted materials that people sent back that were never counted and THROWN AWAY, are just some of the many instances of Waste, Fraud and Abuse. Census workers were told in Savannah that they were not allowed to open a completed census that was in a sealed envelope that was handed to them by a resident because it was a violation of postal regulations, YET when the form was turned into the main office in Savannah the employees were told to "throw it away".
Census counting is a ridiculous law that costs tax payers too much money and needs to be done away with or better supervised. At this point it is just another bureaucratic dinosaur that has created grifting amonst it's employees. PROVING Waste, Fraud and Abuse is very difficult, the temporary employees knows it, the government will write it off as sour grapes of an employee who has been let go, (because almost all of them are...), and the ones that are the BIGGEST grifters are in the higher positions and can CYA by blaming the corruption on someone under them. It is another case of the government investigating itself. It rarely happens, and when it does, the small guy always gets the blame, not the biggest swindler. Many employees don't report the fraud they see because they know this is only temporary, nothing will come of it, and it will end their short lived job. What a JOKE!
