Even before then on Franklin (I think). The officers he writes about were all like family. In the 40's thee were 4 HPD families living in the 1200 block of Dorothy St. It was a great time and Larry Watts brings back many of those memories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158146568465184389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732812286476665747.post-64233334729633661862014-05-27T07:06:09.360-05:002014-05-27T07:06:09.360-05:00So, I don't have all the documents and when I ...So, I don't have all the documents and when I do, they probably won't answer that question, but being a fiction writer, here is a speculative answer. Her sister's boyfriend buried the dope because he needed a place (not on his person) to keep it safely. May have feared being robbed by other dealers or caught by the police. It was a fairly large cache of heroin to be carrying around. He knew Timms and may have assumed it would be safe buried in the backyard of a woman living in a working class neighborhood. BIG MISTAKE! I suspect the answer is lost to history, but if I find anything that sheds more light, I will publish it.

Why her? Sure, her sister dated the Kingfish of drug pushers. But such a move doesn't seem to make much sense. thomasrizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762315714546553945noreply@blogger.com
