GRAPHIC=Bramblett


A gruesome crime discovered before dawn August 29th... the bedroom ransacked, a fire designed to conceal the evidence.... It sounds like something out of the pages of a cheap detective magazine.
That's exactly what police are saying about how Earl Bramblett staged the murders in Vinton three years ago.
Keith Humphry says he did it "by the book."

((
THIS book- -a pulp periodical called "Front Page Detective."
It was seized from Bramblett's motel room. The magazine came out ten days before the Hodges family was murdered.
Police believe Bramblett selected bits and pieces from various articles in the magazine to set the stage at the Hodges house. The family allowed us inside for the first time this week.

The magazine was introduced as evidence... it's significance never explained... until now.
One article profiles a murder on August 29th- -the day the Hodges were found dead in their home.
Another refers to a note about a "family emergency." Authorities believe Bramblett forced Teresa Hodges to post notes on the door about a family emergency to warn off visitors.
There's an article about setting fire to destroy the evidence.
The same one refers to kerosene splashed all over a woman's body- -just what Bramblett did to Teresa Hodges.
Her charred body was found face down on the living room couch- -her feet sticking up in the air, just like a woman in the magazine.
The master bedroom was made to look like it had been ransacked, "searched thoroughly and left a mess," just as it was in the Hodges house.
Blaine Hodges body was covered with a curtain- -again mimicking the magazine.
Bramblett may even have gotten the idea of ditching evidence in the dumpster behind the sign company where he worked from one of the stories.
Many people believe this was not the first time Bramblett committed a crime involving young girls.
Helen Akers' daughter Tammy disappeared in 1976. She's afraid she'll never know what happened.

And her sister Kate Bowyer remembers the actual fall of Richmond, this way, in her article, "A Woman's Story of the War." "...It was like the shock of an earthquake when General Lee's lines were first found to be breaking up around Richmond. My husband hurriedly packed us up and, pushing our way through the streets, succeeded in thrusting us into one of the last remaining trains which left Richmond, before its evacuation."
Kate's brother-in-law, Jimmy Breckenridge, was still a soldier in the war, but devastated by his wife, Fan's death, he fought each battle recklessly.
