Johnny S. Clarke & Lisa Straub- young Ohio couple murdered

[TotallyCurious]

OMG. Johnny's mother is on Headline News and she is saying Lisa's friends were most apt to be the ones to hurt them. AND she is blaming Lisa's old
boyfriend, saying he just got out of jail. She also is saying her son has
absolutely NO enemies.

i saw her. she's a loon. i am still trying to feel sorry for her. if my kid was murdered i'd be a loon too.
but she is also a liar.

[TotallyCurious]

Johnny would always take his mother's phone calls, she says. She says
that her son would always tell her, "I am alive." WHAT KID SAYS THAT TO THEIR MOM?

Did you know she was at the house with the police on the second 911 call?

[TotallyCurious]

And, she says Lisa would live at her house a week then at Lisa's house a week. I have never heard that before.

[RaisingAPrince]

Wow! I am also trying very hard to feel for her, but there is a line. If I were Lisa's family I would be PISSED! I can't believe she is still trying to make JC out to be a perfect innocent "child". Fact is, he was mixed up in a lot and recently in jail. Not to say he wasn't a good guy, but obviously he had some faults!

I never understood the reason why someone would ink their surname on their back.

Unless it was for the benefit of your cell mate, as to not forget your name.

Is it a Cubano thing?

So . . . did Lisa sport ink, too?

[LT_RN]

People tattoo their own name on their bodies so others know who they are, and in this case it came back to bite him in the ass, because someone did remember who he was. As for the mom on tv, give me a break. I wouldnt be surprised at this point if Lisa's family would release a new statement.

she attended CCHS for a year and then transferred. I knew her.[/align]

[an0n]

does anyone know if Johnny has a facebook or this Serita girl?

[larrbear]

I saw her on HLN. cleaned up since her appearance on local TV news. She has changed her story again. Won't even talk about son's jail time. 'It's unrelated'

[BoogyWoogy]

which headline news????please

[BoogyWoogy]

It's funny that no one is mentioning the plausible act of fibbing (Tiffany), with regards to the phone conversation with Johnny just before the murders. Think for a second here; what if Johnny actually let the perps in because he knew of the him/them? Most of the information is based on Tiffany's claim when she could be heavily involved.

[BoogyWoogy]

he didnt have one, only his dad, lisa has one but they used off hers.

[Lady Cop]

hi BoogyWoogy and welcome.

google HLN.

i questioned that about 9700 posts ago.

She and her sister and the friends all look like typical kids. Nothing sleazy looking about any of them. Catholic HS, I noticed. Probably a fairly sheltered (from the dark side of life) upbringing.

I'm gonna reiterate, here, that there is no way in hell (imo) that Johnny lived in her parents' house. I thinks that's a misunderstanding that arose from JC's mother saying, in her 911 call, "my son lives at XXXX Longacre Lane...". Everyone just glossed over her following up with saying he was HOUSE SITTING while Lisa's parents were away.

Lisa did not attend a Catholic Highschool, she may have attended events, but she was a 2009 graduate of Springfield High School. I also tend to agree that she was not quite so innocent (smoking and drinking while being underage in photos) but these are typical teen events, aside from her myspace comment about "getting crunk"

I though her page said a Catholic HS? Maybe I'm hallucinating.

Too much aluminum.

...and she knows that how?

Newbie here interested in trying to figure out this case. Larrbear, how did his mother's story change?

TIA

The mother was told that the last thing they heard from her son before his phone went dead, Who are you, what do you want and what are you doing here, then nothing? I am a mother of 2 adult children and believe me, if I would have heard what she heard, I would have called the cops and ran over there as fast as I could!

Actually, I think the mom did exactly that - once she got the phone call, she called 911 (her first 911 call), and then it seems as though she drove to the house herself (with cousin) and enroute made the 2^nd call to 911.

If Tiffany was not involved (and my mind is not made up on that one way or the other) and she didn't have knowledge of any pre-planned robbery, etc, she probably didn't want to call the police herself, knowing that there were likely drugs in the house. Imagine how it would've been for her if nothing was wrong, but still, she sent the police to her friends' house, replete with drugs and drug paraphernalia,while JC and LS were passed out from too much partying. When I used to party, the last thing I'd ever want was the cops to show up at my door - even to check on my safety.

That's exactly why I'm giving her (Tiffany) a 'pass' ... for now, anyway

I believe that's exactly what I said at Post#571.

My speculation was/is that Johnny and Tiffany had set up that phone conversation and its abrupt termination to establish unlawful entry and robbery at that very point, by persons "unknown" to Johnny, in order to divert away from Johnny's involvement in breach of his accepted co-responsibility to watch the house and its valuables while his girlfriend's parents were on their cruise.

That's why Tiffany did not call the police herself, and took her good old time passing the information on to anyone who would.

The tie-up and robbery was expected; the deaths were not.

Has anyone been following the FB pages of JC's mom and the Justice for LS and JC page? I am heartbroken for this woman, but her posts are ridiculous. She focuses on HERSELF way too often! "I'm so sad, I can't eat,I'm in so much pain" Just strikes a nerve with me, I expect to see "I miss my son" but she really focuses so much more on herself!

I just can't shake the feeling that something is just not right with this woman and her "story".

i said that somewhere here. she sounds deranged and like she is speaking to a lover, not a child. i think she is heavily medicated.

Yes she does!! And in one post she says "I've got a secret to tell you". For some reason that creeped me out a little bit! After seeing her criminal record, I'd bet money that she's doped up 99% of the time! I understand she's grieving, but something's just not right!!

YES! I saw that too. What on earth could that have meant? A secret?? No real reason to respond to this question, but I found that really weird, as well as all of her posts.
