    Gary, Indiana Is a Serial Killer’s Playground
    Darren Deon Vann's hometown has 10,000 abandoned houses, more than enough for him to hide six bodies. Even worse, it's a place where women disappear without being missed.
    GARY, Indiana—Over a din of smart-ass comments and after-work banter, Peg at Bugsy’s Tavern asks the obvious question: “You guys wanna watch the news?” The answer is yes, of course, and the crowd at the tiny bar off the main drag in this busted town of 80,000 settles in to hear the score of their newly famous resident.

    There’s a Jane Doe or two among the seven women allegedly killed by Darren Deon Vann who need to be identified; more charges are forthcoming for Vann, who is already pinned for the murder of Afrika Hardy, strangled and left in the bathtub of a Motel 6. Six bodies have been discovered thanks to his confession.

    “Supposedly there’s 14,” a concrete worker named Josh said Monday night.

    “There’s gotta be more,” a beer-sipper agrees.

    What there isn’t, the patrons at Bugsy’s are told as they gaze into TV screens glowing in the approaching dusk, is a motive. The whole episode is shocking, confusing, newsy and depressing—a black eye for a town already sporting a fat lip and a broken nose.

    There are 10,000 abandoned houses in Gary, the mayor said earlier in the day as details emerged about the crime that brought police to Vann’s doorstep. The homes sit in various stages of decay—some are torched to the point that blackened studs are the only thing left of a family’s long-gone home. Others are fixer-uppers, if you happen to be a construction expert and financial idiot. But most of the abandoned houses, with sagging roofs and drafty walls, are just there.

    “It makes me uncomfortable,” a woman says, standing in front of 413 E. 43rd Ave., where the body of Anith Jones was found. “My kids walk by here every day.”

    But most of the abandoned houses, with sagging roofs and drafty walls, are just there.
    They’re far from alone. Children hopping off school buses roamed the streets Monday afternoon as news crews gathered at the house, slightly obscured from the street by a yard of unkempt grass littered with fallen tree branches. Inside were all the signs of a flophouse. Empty cigarette packs, liquor bottles, containers sticky with food residue covered the floor. In a bedroom at the top of crumbling stairs, a bed was made up with a comforter. A baby carriage and a car seat sat nearby.

    “They should just give ‘em away for free,” Josh at the bar says of the houses as the mayor recounts for reporters the difficulties of dealing with Gary’s blight.

    Apparently “they” don’t have to, because whoever was living in the upstairs bedroom at 413 E. 43rd isn’t paying rent. Vann likely wasn’t either, if the looks of his home in the 1400 block of East 50th Court are any indication. That abode wasn’t as accessible to vagrants and the wind as 413 E. 43rd, but it is definitely on the wrong side of the fixer-upper scale.

    After the news, Bugsy’s empties a bit. Political ads demonizing some politicians and praising others play on as an older man sips his Colt 45. Smiling politicians seem a long way from here. Gary has been broken for a while, and it looks like much of it has been left to rot. What can a politician do for a town that’s so fucked up that 10,000 abandoned houses are simply part of the scenery, where a killer can dump bodies seemingly at random without much fear of being caught, where only one of the three women so far identified as Vann’s victims had a missing-persons report out on her?

    At 7 o’clock, the bartender at Bugsy’s clocks out and gives a bit of direction to her second-shift replacement. The news is over, but I start to notice other stories on the walls of the bar. Newspaper clippings, many of them with pictures of the owner, a former Gary firefighter, are everywhere. Often, the newsprint reads, the fires were battled at abandoned houses.

    The bartender switches the channel and the lone patron doesn’t bat an eye. He just keeps sipping his Colt 45 and staring at the TV, where hockey-masked Jason is roaming the woods and two teenagers are running in fear. There are plenty of wooded areas like the one being taken in by the stone-faced drinker sitting next to me, and two of Vann’s victims were found among the trees. But this killer didn’t have to do much hiking. Instead he took advantage of what, for him, is Gary’s greatest asset: abandoned houses left behind when people fled for greener pastures.

    Gary is predominantly black (84%) and was once an industrial city but that changed when so many jobs were outsourced to China.

    If one were to assess blame, it would be political more than anything else.

    And while Gary is predominantly blue, the state is governed red. Facts cannot hurt.

    @TonyHines @rickinindiana the southern states are all welfare states. While states like Michigan get back only seventy cents on the dollar sent to Washington, nine out of ten southern states enjoy a increase. Most states down south enjoy a return of $1.30 for every dollar sent to Washington.

    I'm not a proponent of the death penalty. I hate the thought of us as a government killing somebody. However in this case, as I looked at the eyes Mr Vann, I truly saw no life. His eyes seemed so cold, I couldn't help wondering what was it in his life that turned him into a monster. Be that as it may, I also couldn't help but think that maybe him being so sloppy with his latest kill that perhaps he wanted to be stopped. Put him out of his misery. I also heard that he was once a Marine. I understand what our military is supposed to represent, but when we train folks to become killers, we shouldn't be surprised when some of them don't know when or how to turn off the spigot. Put him out his misery. If he found a way to beat this and got out, he'll sure kill again. How sad.

    However Alabama has the unique experience of having it's speaker of the house under indictment for corruption.

    As a person, this offends me. Hording is not OK. Even by blight. I agree with Josh. Establish an Urban Land Grant., give away the land in acreage, reclaiming the urban for large land grants.

    Have you ever been to Gary, Indiana? The first time I had to go there for work, I was concerned. It is every bit as bad and nasty as anywhere in Detroit and Chicago. Like the rest of the ghetto's in America, you'd have to displace all those people that have become accustomed to living like that, to do any good there. Where are you going to send them? What are you going to get them to do to help themselves? They haven't had to help themselves in so long, they wouldn't do it, even if you offered them the world.

    Tell me nobody has been running an economic war on the US after watching this and then seeing what Gary is now. I checked the place out on Google Earth. Man. It looks like Chernobyl. Parts of the city literally are going back to nature. Asphalt streets are crumbling and grass and weeds are encroaching. Mature trees are growing up through decaying houses. Non functioning stop lights have been replaced by stop signs. Makes you wonder if the city water is even safe to drink.

    Reminds me of that show, Life Without People.

    Someone built a nice fence around the Jackson house and it's kept up with a monument to Michael in the front yard. The whole neighborhood around it is falling apart. Just level the whole city. Keep the Jackson home and call the area Michael Jackson wildlife refuge and botanical park.

    Redevelop the Lake Michigan shoreline. Put in an amusement park with great roller coasters (Made from Chinese steel instead of Gary US Steel). Have a wildlife refuge where the city used to be and a botanical park around the Jackson home. Finance the whole thing with Chinese money.

    Good News!



    A random example appeared

    Anonymous Bidder Puts Up $3.1 Million for Distressed Homes in Detroit
    A Mystery Bidder Offers $3 Million for 6,000 of Detroit's Worst Homes






    Though the ethics behind the sale sounds a bit crusty.


    “The idea was that no one would buy it,”
    Szymanski explains,
    so they would pass on to the city to handle.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Yet someone actually wants to buy the whole blight bundle.
    “It could be—and this is all speculation—that the people who are bidding on it are altruistic in nature,” Szymanski hints. He believes he has already met representatives of the group behind the $3.2 million offer, but he can’t say for sure.

    I see what you did there. Make a monkey park round the The Jacko's home and throw in an amusement park as a symbolic gesture to Mikey. Very dark humor there, you shared

    True Nitro Express,
    We imagine that monkeys aren't wildlife for we indeed are merely civilized monkeys
    I was going to comment on the highbrow humor from Twonabomber. Nevertheless, I did not
    Because it was humor and highbrow, such a select thing from civilized monkeys.
    Please do forgive my transgression of implying monkeys are wildlife.
    And thank you for clarification of your post. Your words are in your hands, Nitro.
    Now we move on to the New Era.

    Gary is on the south shore of Lake Michigan. Actually there is some nice lake shore near there. Since they aren't making steel anymore and the town dried up like a ghost town, why not make something of the location? That's what I was getting at. Why go to Ohio to ride roller coasters on the lake shore? Build it in Gary and then since the town is already going back to nature well let's go all the way and make it a wild life preserve. Since the only structure maintained and landscaped is the Jackson home let's expand on that and make a botanical garden.

    Since they make no steel in Gary the roller coasters will have to be made of Chinese steel and since there is no money in Gary, it will have to be financed by Chinese money. Right now the Chinese are on a real estate buying spree. They can buy Gary.

    People hate steel mills but hate it when the steel town dies because the steel mill disappeared. Apparently all they sell in Gary now are drugs and fucking. The town could inspire some kick ass blues songs. I got the cheap fuck blues. I got the cocaine ain't good no more blues. I got the bedbug blues...

    White flight to the suburbs. Gary is one of the least diverse cities in the U.S. now.
    This is just as bad as Detroit.

    GARY — Anith Jones left Gary City Court last week and disappeared.

    Jones, 35, of Merrillville, hasn’t been seen since Oct. 8, and her family members and friends are worried she has come to harm.

    So do Gary police, who recovered her car Friday night and found evidence inside it that suggests she may be the victim of foul play.

    Detectives Cpl. James Nielsen and Daryl Gordon are investigating the woman’s disappearance. They organized a search Wednesday morning of the Colonial Gardens neighborhood where her 2001 silver Chevrolet Prism was located, parked in the driveway of a vacant house.

    About 30 officers, including new recruits in pretraining who are waiting to attend the police academy next month, gathered in the 4900 block of Louisiana Street in the drizzle. They searched vacant lots, empty homes and surrounding wooded areas to no avail.

    A cadaver dog didn’t find any trace of Jones in the area either, Nielsen said.


    2 held after boy, 13, fatally shot in Gary











    Anyone with information can call Gary police communications at (219) 881-1260, Nielsen at (219) 881-4754 or Gordon at (219) 881-7545.

    Child sex trafficking is rampant now. Children from third world countries are orphaned or kidnapped and sent to various parts of the world. Gary would be a prime spot for such activity. The light is being shined on international child trafficking and child sex being used to entrap politicians and influenctial people in power. A pedifile would be totally blackmailable. Probably a possible reason British parliament seems to have it's fair number of pedifiles there. I'm sure it's the same story in Washington DC. Is Boehner a child molester? He's a gutless wonder. The Obama Administration has something on him. Sick crap going on.

    Population and politics were related. A succession of white ethnic mayors in the 1950s and 1960s ended in 1967 with the election of Richard G. Hatcher, one of the nation's first big-city black mayors. White flight to nearby suburbs had already begun in the 1960s, but Hatcher's election and subsequent confrontational style speeded the process considerably, paralleled now by white business flight as well. As descendants of European immigrants emptied out of the city, the population declined dramatically to 116,646 by 1990, while the proportion of African Americans rose to over 80 percent. With a secure black power base, Hatcher was reelected four times, an unusual record for big-city administrations, and served a total of 20 years as Gary's mayor.

    -----------------------------------------------------
    There was a "White Flight" from the city which decreased the overall population of the town. Less taxpayers... less money for the goverment to provide services for the city.
    Steel left. Drugs creeped in.. etc. Just stating fact. That is what led to the problems in the city.
    Thanks for throwing around labels though.

    Corrupt politicians buying votes until they break the golden goose. The citizens are also to blame. They take the welfare without any regard to their future. I've never seen any city flourish on the welfare for votes model. It only brings decay. Sitting there blaming everyone does nothing. There are doers and there are complainers. In the US today the doers and dreamers are under attack. The establishment wants more do what you are told, dependent slaves.

    Not so quick.

    The general definition of White privilege fits, the older one though it may be.

    From the very link you provided:
    "Anticipating a large population of steelworkers, Gary Land Company, a U.S. Steel subsidiary, laid out a gridiron city plan, built a variety of houses and apartments, ... however, where shoddy building of small houses and barrack-type apartments contradicted modern planning principles and dictated rapid slum development."


    "The Bosses of the Senate by Joseph Keppler" by Joseph Keppler - http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/...n_38_00392.htm. Licensed under Public domain via Wikimedia Commons.

    "The Bosses of the Senate", a cartoon by Joseph Keppler depicting corporate interests–from steel, copper, oil, iron, sugar, tin, and coal to paper bags, envelopes, and salt–as giant money bags looming over the tiny senators at their desks in the Chamber of the United States Senate.

    Gary, IN was built to be a slum... because

    [a] population of European immigrants, and, by the 1920s, southern blacks and immigrants from Mexico as well. ... Immigrants and their American-born children made up 45 percent of the population in 1930, while blacks constituted almost 18 percent. ( 45%+18% = 63% )

    African Americans from the American South began migrating to Gary after the outbreak of World War I and the cessation of European immigration. In the 1920s, as immigration restriction became permanent, Mexican workers were imported by U.S. Steel to fill unskilled jobs in the mills.
    the company's skilled workers and managerial staff were primarily English, Irish, German, or native-born.
    We can venture safely and say by "native-born" they are not speaking of American Indians in that encyclopedia.

    But the correct wording would be corporate corruption. Corporate corruption of the most depraved kind, disregard for humans.

    On another note:

    The US Steel and the making of Gary, IN was one of the first flanks of the Corporate Coup D'etat of the USA 's government.
