Seekingtruth aka Mike Porter and the upcoming biased book

The following are private messages between seekingtruth (Mike Porter) and Kelsey's Purpose members. (Yes, if you're a member of Kelsey's Purpose, they can read your private messages. Terri Sigman shared that information with one of my friends.)

Mike Porter was still a member of Kelsey's Purpose as of the time we investigated his status. In fact, he visited Kelsey's Purpose 711 times from the time he was released on bond to the time of his plea deal. His last log in was just before he went to prison - this would have been from approximately December 2005 to February 2007 - 711 visits. He joined the Web site in March of 2006, just after Kathie stopped communicating with him via e-mail.

[quote-Tinam] I liked your post on the letter that sad little Gayla wrote.
I tried my hardest to bite my tongue but I just could not. I read this site daily and for family member to come on here and accuse people of hatred was just too much. Ultimately it is a waste of time to try to tell people like that anything. Supporting loved ones is one thing, but to lay blame at the feet of people that tried to help Kelsey is just plain wrong. If they would have cared about Kelsey half as much as they care about Raye Dawn things would be different right now. Some of the things they say like saying that they were trying to figure out where the abuse was coming from just makes you shake your head. Raye Dawn had abuse confirmed on her. In my opinion that is the point when if she did not abuse her child she would have stopped protecting whoever did it. I am sick of them playing the victim role, but that is all they know I guess. It makes me angry and sad at the same time. Kelsey never stood a chance with those people. Didn’t mean to vent but those people make me so upset.

Well, your reply is a lot nicer than I would like to be. I will never believe for one second that RD is innocent of anything!!! Personally, after hearing on the news what she said in court in Mike’s prelim, I feel that the charges should be reversed!!!! But that’s just my opinion!!! I’m very hard on her when it comes to talking about Kelsey, because she was the mother and for that child to be dead is a reflection of her character!!!!!!

I will always believe that she is responsible for Kelsey’s death too. Too may things do not add up. I heard about some of the things that were said in court and it sounded like she didn’t help herself at all. You would think if anyone should have loved Kelsey enough to tell the truth it should have been her “mother”. I have heard too many people say that they saw her mistreat and abuse Kelsey to think it was all the step-dad. I just have to shake my head when I seem them continue to embarrass themselves by bashing the Briggs and supporting the people who failed Kelsey. Talk about going down with the ship, my gosh.

He’s standing over the top of me so I can’t answer you. R.D. knows just how to get people to like her. She was in no telling how many beauty pageants in her life and up on the state taking dance for over 12 years. She knows just how to smile and win people over. She’s very good at it. Very Good. FYI Before Lance had the DNA test for Kelsey’s paternity, R.D. was wanting to move to Florida and be a topless dancer. Yeh, I laughed at that one too…she’s flat on top…or was. Her mom, along with Carl Randall’s mom (Dorothy Randall, Mildred’s sister) had already checked into her staying with Carl’s dads brother in Florida. They were going to run away and Gayla was going to help hide R.D. She never did this, but she was very close to it. I’m sure that if it was brought up now, they’d deny anything about it…but it did happen this way. I’d heard that R.D. danced down at the Earlsboro nudie bars for awhile. Don’t know for that sure. Her cousin (Justin’s dad) told me that.{quote}

{quote=Debbie Hammons} Maybe the pregnancy made her boobs grow! Haha who knows, but she used to be flat. That was what was so funny about the fact that she wanted to be a stripper. The whole thing about going to Florida was to hide from Lance and his family. Then Gayla thought about hiding her out at another part of the state. They were really planning on getting her away and keeping her “protected” from Lance. Shoot, the whole time she was married to Lance, she was very violent towards him. Ray went over there many times in the middle of the night because she would be drunk and hitting and screaming towards Lance. One time she even put her hand thru a glass door and shattered it. She’s one wild and wicked person, I’m telling you. I’m sure that Mike doesn’t know all what happened with Lance because Raye Dawn isn’t going to tell him what SHE did. It’s always the other way around. Back when I still lived in Meeker, I was on my way home from work in the middle of the day & Gayla called me (she knew that I was going home) and asked me to stop in there to see what was happening between R.D. & Lance. They lived in the R.D.’s grandpa Smiths old house just south of where Mildred lives. Anyways, I pulled in there & R.D. was out in the yard just having one of her fits & Lance was just sitting there. Course, at the time they had me believing everything that they told me about Lance (I found out the truth later) & R.D. got in the car & sat there talking to me for a very long time. Now, Gayla was at work, Mildred was at work at Lewis Mfg. & both of them were really upset that Lance was going to “hurt” R.D. (because that’s what she had told them) yet neither bothered to even take off work to go check it out, so I went by there. Lance was calm, R.D. wasn’t. I told her if the marriage wasn’t working out, etc., to get out of it. I had figured out by this time that she was drinking heavily again, (she did that before they got together too) and she was totally out of control. She would throw things in the creek behind their house (household things) & then say that he broke all her collectables (I had bought quite a few of them & they weren’t cheap, for her for her sr. graduation). She was just totally nuts. She needed psychiatric help & I’d even told Gayla that before she even met Mike. She was out to get Mike & marry him from the first time she met him. She thought he had money & Gayla ALWAYS told R.D. it was just as easy to marry a rich man & fall in love later. Did you see her at Mike’s & her arraignment? I haven’t went to any of that stuff so I haven’t seen her in person since I was at court in 6/05. Are you going to be at the walk this afternoon? I’m going to try to be there…me and my flag chair! Haha{quote}

Actually my opinion on the whole situation is that Mike was set up to be the one found alone with Kelsey when she died and that Raye Dawn actually is the one who killed Kelsey. In my opinion and I repeat MY opinion, the charges are flip flopped and Mike should be the one charged with Enabling Child Abuse and Raye should be the one charged with murder. I am, however, a witness in the case so I can not go into detail about the evidence I have seen and heard-on which my opinion is based! I didn’t want to post this on the main board simply because I know no one will agree with me and I don’t expect them to because we all are entitled to our own opinions. But you are right, everyone on the maternal side who saw Kelsey often should be charged and punished with at least failure to protect!

Sorry I just saw this PM. I completely agree with you. I know several people involved and I also will never believe that Mike killed Kelsey. Everything I have seen has pointed at Raye Dawn. I do think you would be surprised how many people think that. I know that in the town of Meeker many people think Raye Dawn is responsible and also in Shawnee where Mike is from most people believe that Raye Dawn did it. In my opinion he should be punished but not for something he did not do.

Fromid SeekingJustice told seekingtruth subject Re: no subject utc timestamp 10/22/06 7:06pm
I’m glad that you can see where I’m coming from. And yes, both Mike and Raye dawn should be punished but they should be punished for what they did-he should not go to jail for murder but for failure to protect. She should not go for child abuse but for murder! I also think Gayla should go to jail with her since she supposedly saw Kelsey so much yet she somehow didn’t see all of the signs of abuse or else she saw them and chose not to report them because she knew her daughter was the one who did it and she didn’t want to get her into trouble. I used to babysit Mike’s kids and NEVER EVER saw anything on either of them. They were two of the happiest kids I had ever met in my life and they had a GREAT dad and they still do. The only thing Mike did wrong was not help Kelsey. He should have tried to help her even if it meant upsetting Raye Dawn. I’m sure now he realizes that. Another thing that bothers me is that she didn’t go file for divorce. If they arrested my husband and said that he killed my son or daughter I would be a the court house before the police even had him there and I would be filing those papers-but I think she was too worried on covering her own butt to even think about filing for divorce. I’m sorry but none of the things she has done add up to me. But don’t get me wrong I do believe Mike should be in trouble also but like you said she should not be in trouble for something he didn’t do. Are you from Meeker? Or Shawnee?

I could not agree with you more. I know Mike very well. I am from Shawnee. I know he was and is a good father. I saw him with Kelsey and his own kids. I think that there are a lot of people that know that this case doesn’t add up. I know for a fact that Mike wishes he would have helped Kelsey. I truly believe that if he was charged with failure to protect he probably would have plead guilty because that’s how he feels. Like I said, I know him very well and he is not the person that so many people want to make him out to be. I think he should be punished but not for the things he is accused of. I truly believe that it is so obvious that Raye Dawn did it. I just can’t see what the DA sees, and I know a lot of other people can not see how anyone could not see straight through her. I think it is sad, sad, sad, most of all for Kelsey and also for the other kids involved. Mike’s kids are probably going to lose a father just because he is an easier target for a conviction. Like I said, no one will ever be able to convince me that Mike killed Kelsey. The evidence is just not there. I will always know that Raye Dawn got mad at Kelsey that day and went too far. Plus she knew Lance was coming back and he would take Kelsey from her.

{quote=mommy_of_an_angel} Carolyn has never said much, the only thing she has said is that Kayla was sick, she gave her some Dimetapp and put her to sleep. Or at least that’s what she said to the Detective. She had numerous stories she told to different people before she was arrested and they all have something to do with Kayla being deathly ill.

{quote=MistyLT} I just wanted to tell you that I know it’s obvious by some of the posts that people didn’t really read the case close enough. I read everything on both sites and I think your theory about her putting the poison in the medicine is right on the money. Has Carolyn given any explanation as to why the poison was there or what happened? {quote}

In August of 2006, the district attorney, Richard Smothermon, asked that Mike Porter's bond be increased due to the addition of the sexual assault charge against Mike Porter after the second autopsy. This request was denied since Mike Porter had been out on bond since December, 2005, even though Mike Porter had been communicating with the Briggs after his bond. Kelsey's Purpose members never spoke of their disappointment that his bond amount was not changed and they did not picket or write or call to have it changed, knowing that the district attorney fully believe that Mike Porter sexually assaulted Kelsey.


This is Mike Porter's profile on Kelsey's Purpose. As of July, 2009, he was still a member. You'll notice that it says he only posted four times on the forum, and below are three of his posts, but in another thread the members responded to his posts that had been removed.









In the following thread, you'll see what Kelsey's Purpose does. They find a case, form an opinion based on media reports, jump in and defend one side and then start contacting officials, media, family members, and so on. In this thread, as always they bring the other child's case back to that of Kelsey's and begin complaining about Raye Dawn and how they aren't happy with her bond or how she was treated, yet no mention at all of Mike Porter. Although Mike Porter's posts were deleted, they respond to him and their posts take on a different tone. (The posts are just a few from the thread)






























As it was at Kelsey's Purpose from the beginning, the focus has been and remains on Raye Dawn, the mother who loved her child and was not home at the time of her child's death. Not only has the public been deceived into thinking that Kelsey's Purpose is about helping children when it was in fact about trashing Raye Dawn, her family, and others, but now the public is being told that two journalists are writing an investigative piece that explores the question of who killed Kelsey.

Their Facebook page that is filled with only negative comments about Raye Dawn coupled with the relationship the journalists have with the Briggs, i.e. Cherokee Ballard had Thanksgiving dinner at the Briggs home and Britten Follet published trial notes during Raye Dawn's trial that were incomplete and one-sided while reporting only the negative side of the story, illustrate to us the true nature and intent of the book. I believe this picture of Kathie Briggs with the authors says it all.



As for me, I get paid to investigate and research for my clients when working on projects. At times, clients come to me with a title or a sentence and I create a fully researched book. This is what I do. I research, investigate, get to the heart of the matter, and write about it. I find the truth about the subject and expose it and I'm good at it. If I were a liar, as the Briggs wish the public to believe, why do they waste energy on me? Food for thought.

Have a blessed day and more of the secret e-mails and my investigations that cannot fit into the book will be posted at a later date.

  1. WOW Jody. Lots of information here. That book will be bias yet again. Just another way to keep the Raye bashing going.
    Horrible.

  2. My gosh - that woman who microwaved her baby suffered from mental illness. What a horrible shame. Society does very little to help those with mental illness yet crucifies them when they act out while very sick. It is absolutely terrible all the way around.
    They sure have a lot of so-called experts on the KP website, don't they? I always find it interesting how people act out when they are trying to cover their own shame for incidents that have happened to them in the past.
    Keep on posting Jody.

  3. I agree, Wendy. It's just a way to keep it going. From the beginning it's been about Raye Dawn. Why would one of the Kelsey's Purpose members call the district attorney and the judge about Raye's bond and nobody said a thing about Mike Porter's not being raised when they were informed that he had sexually assaulted Kelsey? I don't get that. When will the general public finally get that this is a hate group who targeted Raye Dawn from the beginning and they are enlisting whatever help they can get - be it media or governmental - to continue their hate campaign?

    Hate is all it's about and I suppose those of us who have some intelligence and compassion can see it. When will the others see?
