		Conway, SC    1991  A BEAUTIFUL SLEEPY SOUTHERN TOWN. TORN APART BY ONE SICK-O                ONE KEN RIGISTER WHO WILL BUST HELL WIDE OPEN. CRYSTAL FAYE TODD - JOHNNIE KENNETH "KEN" REGISTER - THE BRUTAL MURDER OF CRYSTAL FAYE TODD ...                           Crystal Faye Todd Crystal Fay Todd (17) was looking forward to graduation and beginning the rest of her life outside of school. Crystal's life was cut short by a psycopath she and her mother Bonnie had allowed into their home, into their lives and called a friend.        Bonnie Faye Todd  and  Crystal 1991- September 23 -  Coastal Carolina College campus:  A young man drives up to two female students (17 & 18) asking them for directions.  As he speaks he plays with his genitals and starts to unfasten his pants. As the two girls hurriedly leave, he raises himself up in the seat and waggles his sexual organs at them.  Noting the license number from the vehicle, the girls provide it to police. The vehicle is traced to Shirley Register, mother of Ken Register. She confirms that her son was  driving her vehicle. Ken Register is picked out of a lineup and is arrested for indecent exposure. He is released on $2,000 bond. A pretrial hearing is held. The charge is still pending.  His friends and neighbors are unaware of the events.     Ken Register & Crystal Todd   CRYSTAL TODD'S DISAPPEARANCE 1991 - November 16 - SATURDAY EVENING Crystal Todd attends her grandmothers birthday party in Toddsville, S.C. 7:00 PM - Crystal leaves the party and drives to the mall. 8:00 PM - Crystal is in the parking lot chatting with a girlfriend. 9:00 PM - Crystal and the friend leave the mall and drive to a party at the home of another friend. 9:30 PM - The two girls arrive at the friend's party. 11:00 PM  Crystal and her friend leave the party and drive to the mall parking lot where her friend had left her vehicle. The friend has an 11:15 curfew. Crystal drives off - her curfew is 12:00 midnight. 11:20 PM- Crystal Faye Todd is last seen at the Coastal Mall downtown. 1991 - November 17 - SUNDAY MORNING 3:00 AM - Bonnie Todd calls 911 - Dispatcher asures Bonnie that it's not unusual forteens to miss curfew times when they're having a good time. He asks Bonnie to notify him when Crystal shows up. 8:00 AM - Sunday Morning - 911 Dispatcher receives another call from Bonnie Todd. Crystal's vehicle was seen by Crystal's girlfriends parked at the Elm Street side of the Conway Middle School. Police officers are sent out to Bonnie Todd's residence.Police officers at the school have found Crystal's car locked, her purse inside. The car keys are missing.          A GRUESOME DISCOVERY A pickup truck with two men drives down a dirt road off of Highway 813 outside of Conway, S.C.   Inside a heavily wood area the truck stops and the men climb out. One notices something in a ditch nearby. Both men step over to look and find  what looks like it a badly mutiliated human female body. They promptly notify police.              THE CRIME SCENE Horry County Chief of Police J. Gordon Harris, Homicide Detective Bill Knowles and other police officers arrive and find at the scene: Footprints, Tire tracks A trail of blood running to the ditch Signs of a struggle The female victim's belt and blue jeans are unfastened and are pulled down around her hips. The shirt was pulled open and torn. The shirt and bra was pulled up exposing her upper body. The buttons from the shirt are missing. A lot of blood upon the victim's face rendering it unrecognizeable. A gaping 3-4 inch cut across the throat area with the throat slashed multiple times. Multiple stab and slash wounds in the breast and abdomen area; a cut on the stomach, the victim had been disemboweled. A school class ring on a finger of the victim. Forensic: Crime scene photographs, blood samples, tire and shoe print impressions; scrapings from under the victims fingernails are obtained. The school class ring is engraved -       Crystal Faye Todd Police break the sad news to Bonnie Faye Todd who was inconsolable at the loss of her only child. 1991 - November 18 - MONDAYNewspapers report that Crystal Todd is found dead and suffered multiple stab wounds. Police release minimal information regarding her death. Bonnie Faye Todd  "She was my whole life. I dont know that I'll make it without her.  I dont really want to." "I'm sure Crystal's killer is someone she knew and trusted." Horry County posts a $5,000 reward & Horry County Crime Stoppers posts a $5,000 reward for any information that will lead to the killer of Crystal Todd. Chief Harris "We cannot emphasize how serious and how strongly we consider  this particular crime to be. It's probably one of the most brutal that many of us  have seen in a long, long time." "Crystal probably knew her killer. We do not feel that Crystal would have ridden  off with someone she did not know. She was not a person to take up with  someone she did not know.  It was her habit, and it was not the norm for her.  Were looking at everyone as suspects and were eliminating them from that point on.  We do not have a prime suspect."           FORENSIC AUTOPSY Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston It is determined that Crystal had lived for several minutes after the attack and had bled to death. The autopsy determines Crystal Faye Todd had suffered: Brutal mouth, vaginal and anal rape; bruises to her vaginal and rectal areas. Semen- PGM subtype from a secretor is found in her mouth, vagina and anal areas. More than 30 cuts and stabs - 3 of which crushed her skull and 1 entered her brain. 7 bruises and 3 abrasions. Her throat had been cut from ear to ear. There were stabs in a linear pattern down her chest. She had been disemboweled. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) agents Mike Anderson, Campbell Streater, Ben Thomas and David Caldwell, Behavior analyst are called in to assist Horry County. (Caldwell creates profiles of killers and crime scenes where there are no suspects.)          APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC 1991 - November 23 - Bonnie Todd appeals to the public to help find Crystal's killer. Bonnie Todd  "If I knew somebody had done something like this, I'd tell on  them so they could get him before he gets somebody else. I wouldn't want to  see anybody else's daughter dead. I miss Crystal very much and I can't stop  thinking about her. She's never been away from me very much.  We've always  been together. I tell everyone to be careful because theres a maniac still out  there. We don't know who that devil is. If they don't catch him, he's liable to  get somebody else." Fear is rampant in Horry County among students at the school and among parents in the community.   FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS A friend of Crystal Todd, Ken Register is a constant visitor to Bonnie Todd and consoles her when she cries over the loss of Crystal, and the brutal way she was murdered. Ken Register is present at Bonnie Todd's home more than he ever visited when Crystal was alive. Bonnie asks several close friends of Crystal to be pallbearers at the funeral. Ken Register is one of those asked, and he agrees to be a pallbearer for his friend Crystal.                     INVESTIGATION Police interview schoolmates and other citizens of the county. They ask for a voluntary knife inspection. Citizens are helpful and cooperative. None of the knives they inspect match the crime.                 FUNERAL The funeral generates a huge turnout of Crystal's friends and classmates and people of the town and county. Ken Register is a pallbearer for Crystal Faye Todd.  After the funeral he continues to visit Bonnie Todd.                INVESTIGATION                   January 1992  Andrew Von Tyndall (31) is questioned regarding the murder and blood samples are taken. Testing for DNA rules him out. 1992 - January 13 - Police are continuing to investigate Crystal's friends, former boyfriends and even acquaintances. Ken Register is nervous because police want blood samples. He voluntarily consents to blood, saliva, head and pubic hair samples, fingerprints and palm prints being taken. He also provides a written statement of his movements on the night of Crystal's murder. After his blood sample is taken, Ken Register doesn't visit Bonnie Todd anymore. 1992 - February 15 - Detective Bill Knowles is notified by SLED that a perfect DNA match has been made. It is Ken Register. 1992 - February 18 -  Police are at Ken Register's place of employment. Register reads and signs the statement he made on January 13, 1992. Then he is handcuffed and read his Miranda rights, the murder warrant and other warrants for the kidnapping, rape and murder of Crystal Faye Todd.   10:20 AM - 1:30 PM - Ken Register is interviewed. Repeatedly he asks to speak, not to a lawyer, but to his mother. 2:20 PM -Police tell Ken Register they've spoken to his mother. The Detectives continue to interview Register. He answers questions regarding his family, his current 14 year old girlfriend, and most of all, his movements on the night of Crystal's murder. 3:00 PM - Ken Register confesses to murdering Crystal Faye Todd.                     CONFESSION Ken Register tells police his version of what occurred: He and Crystal drove to a rural area and had consensual sex without protection. Crystal was furious because he ejaculated and screamed and threatened that if she became pregnant she would accuse him of rape. He claims that Crystal's screaming made him angry, so angry he felt he'd do anything to stop her. He took a knife he kept in his vehicle and began stabbing her. He further claims that after he realized what he had done, he dragged her from his car into a ditch, threw away his knife and then drove home.  SEARCH OF THE REGISTER HOME A warrant is served and police find: A Case knife. A long camoflage knife with sheath. Newspaper articles regarding Crystal's death clipped and hidden within the family bible. A green army blanket with hair and fiber samples Fibert samples from: a pair of red socks, agreen shirt, two sweaters. Police later serve a second warrant. They retrieve a pocketnife box that was missed/unnoticed during the first search.                              INDICTMENT 1992 - April 16 - Johnnie Kenneth Register II is indicted for Crystal Todd's murder. Prosecutors intend to seek the Death Penalty. The news spread through the community like wildfire. No one is in more shock and disbelief than Bonnie Todd. Bonnie Todd "He's been our friend for years and years, hee was everybody's friend  around here. I said, Ken, you don't have to worry about your blood test. You didn't do it. He's the only one I said that to."                                 CONVICTION 1992 - September 21 - Ken Register is tried and convicted on pending indecent exposure charges. Judge denies motion to suppress DNA evidence.  Judge rules Ken Register "had freely and voluntarily confessed, that he had been properly advised of and understood his Miranda rights, and that he had knowingly and intelligently waived his rights to remain silent and to have counsel present with him during custodial questioning."                   MURDER TRIAL 1993 - January 11 - Kenneth Register is brought from jail for trial.  Evidence and testimony presented: Crystal Todd's injuries were inflicted by a blade the size of and Old-Timer knife. A friend of Ken Register testifies that Ken Register normally carried an Old-Timer knife. Ken Register had his car professionally cleaned twice just after the murder. He had new tires put on the vehicle. Despite his efforts, forensic blood evidence was found on the steering wheel, gear stick and the door handles of the vehicle. Ken Register's account(s) of where he had been that night were inconsistent. Co-workers testified that Ken Register had described to them Crystal Todd's injuries in "sexual terms", that she had been cut from her throat to her vagina and stabbed in the head. Police testified that those details Ken Register spoke of had not released to anyone in the public. Only the killer of Crystal Todd would know them. In Ken Register's confession he had spoke of dragging Crystal's body. Drag marks extending from the pool of blood on the dirt road to her body in the ditch match his statement. Forensic testimony - Serological evidence: Ken Register's blood is a rare PGM subtype and is a "secretor."  The expert testifies "There is a 1 in 250 million chance this  would happen." Ken Register's semen matched the semen found in Crystal Todd's body. TAKING THE STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE Ken Register testifies on the stand. He denies kidnapping, raping and murdering Crystal Todd.                      CONVICTION Ken Register is unanimously convicted of criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, rape, and the torture murder of Crystal Faye Todd. Count 1 - Murder - GuiltyCount 2 - Criminal Sexual conduct in 1st degree - Guilty Count 3 - Kidnapping - Guilty Count 4 - Buggery and sodomy - Guilty The Defense argues against the Death Penalty and for a Life sentence. The Prosecution argues for the Death Penalty. The crime is a heinous and horrific one. Any woman who had gotten into his car that night would have suffered what Crystal Faye Todd had suffered.   VICTIM'S IMPACT STATMENT Bonnie Todd  "I'd rather be dead than sitting here. I'd crawl in the grave now  and let her have every thing I had." "I've got nothing left."         AWAITING SENTENCING Bonnie Todd "He needs something worse than theelectric chair. He deserves  just what she (Crystal) got."            SENTENCE 1993 - January 26 - Life in Prison + 35 years. The citizens of the Jury recommend that Johnnie Kenneth "Ken" Register II spend the rest of his natural life in prison.  Ken Register is incarcerated in the Allendale Correctional Institution in Allendale, SC. during the Appeals Process.                PAROLE ELIGIBILITY                    1993 Prison Photo: Ken Register                    2011 Prison Photo: Ken Register Although the citizens of the Jury recommended Register spend the rest of his days in prison, he will be ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE. Due to the heinous nature of the crimes it's unlikely the parole board will grant it. Ken Register's Projected Parole Date: February 18, 2022                    APPEALS Johnnie Kenneth Register was later transported to Broad River Correctional Institution, Columbia, South Carolina where he is currently (as of 2009) incarcerated. 1995 - Johnnie Kenneth "Ken" Register II 's appeal to the State Supreme Court was           reviewed. All counts were upheld. 1997 - The United States Supreme Court refused to hear his case, ruling             that his appeal lacked merit. 1998- A Relief Appeal to the Horry County Circuit Court of Common Pleas is filed.    During depositions it is discovered that the      Defense had provided Barry Sheck (Innocence Project) with the SLED's DNA results. Barry Scheck reviewed and determined that the cross matches between the various samples, tests and results were sound. He ended his involvement in the case. 2003-MO-073 - Johnnie K. Register v.

// Benghazi - They had asked for more Security - Clinton nor OBama sent more help ?? - US Military Unprepared For Benghazi Attack ... ( OBama and Clinton have Blood on their Hands ) ... They Had Asked For More Security OBama ! // Fought for 13 Hour's - Still No Help Came ?? // Sorry Ass OBama // 4 Brave Men Died For No Reason //

 The buck stops with OBama. He let them men die. They asked for more Security. None Sent. Then, fought for 13 hours and no help came either ?! WTH ... 4 Americans died because OBama and Clinton went to bed and could care less about some soldiers ...

Hundreds of pages of declassified transcripts from the U.S. Military's Top Commanders present a picture of a Woefully Ill-Postured Military Force whose assets were not in a position to quickly respond to the Benghazi terror attack -- or other hot spots across Africa and the Middle East.

 Why not ?? They had asked for more Security. OBama and Clinton failed these men. They Fought for 13 Hours and no help came ?! BS ... Navy Seals are Stationed in Sigonella, Sicily, Italy. I've seen them their. More lies from OBama Admin. and Clinton. They blamed same lame video ?? WTH ... Just a lame excuse for not doing your job and protecting them men. 4 Americans lost their lives for God sake ... Idiots ... 

The 450 pages of newly declassified transcripts detail testimony from secret, closed hearings last year before Congress. They provide fresh insight into the military's decision-making that night from the very commanders who staged the rescue efforts, including the top commander in Africa at the time Gen. Carter Ham. 

Among other details, they reveal gaps in the military's positioning of assets around the world.

  WHY WASN'T MORE MORE SECURITY SENT IN PRIOR TO THE ATTACK ??
WHY ?? THEY ASKED, AMBASSADOR STEVENS DID, FOR MORE SECURITY. NONE WAS SENT  ???? 

For example, no attack aircraft were placed on high alert on Sept. 11, and the closest F-16 fighter planes to any of the trouble spots in North Africa were in Aviano, Italy. None were armed, and the closest air refuellers were positioned 10 hours away at a base in Great Britain. 

No Defense Department AC-130 gunships were within a 10-hour flight to Libya, according to committee members who heard commanders' testimony over the past 15 months. And the commander's in-extremis force, which included a unit of 23 special operators who are used at the commander's discretion, were training in Croatia that day. They did not make it to a staging base in Sigonella, Italy, for another 19 hours after the attack began, according to committee members.

 THEY FOUGHT FOR 13 HOUR'S  !! SEND IN THE FIGHTERS AND AIR
TANKERS. DO THE F@@@ MATH. THAT'S 3 HOURS OF AIR COVER !!!!
.... FOUGHT FOR 13 HOURS .... SHOULD HAVE SENT HELP. FIGHTERS !!
 IDIOTS ....    

Rep. Martha Roby, the Republican chairwoman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, concluded: "It does not appear that U.S. military forces, units, aircrafts, drones, or specific personnel that could have been readily deployed in the course of the attack in Benghazi were unduly held back, or told to stand down, or refused permission to enter the fight.  Rather, we were so badly postured, they could not have made a difference or we were desperately needed elsewhere." 

However, the commander of AFRICOM's Joint Special Operations Task Force for the Trans Sahara region, Col. George Bristol, admitted to the subcommittee on July 31 of last year that he believed there was an increased threat on Sept. 11 and was not comfortable with the military's force posture in North Africa. He expressed those concerns with members of his team in Libya. The transcript reads as follows: 

REP. ROB WITTMAN: "In your professional opinion, based on that, were you somewhat uncomfortable maybe knowing about the threat that that was the posture then that was going to be there within that theater?" 

BRISTOL: "Sir, I -- yes, and that wasn't the only country that I was worried about that." 

Neither Bristol, who headed the AFRICOM Special Operations Task Force, nor his chief military officer on the ground in Tripoli that night, Lt. Col. Sean Gibson, who also testified to the Armed Services subcommittee, was ever interviewed by the State Department's Accountability Review Board (ARB), and the U.S. military did not conduct its own internal after-action review separate from the ARB. 

The head of U.S. Africa Command, Gen. Carter Ham, who has largely remained out of the spotlight since the attack, also told the House panel last June why he made certain choices that night and what assets he had available to him. And he debunked a widespread rumor that he was removed from overseeing the military operation because he wanted to do more militarily that night than he was allowed to by his superiors or the White House. 

Immediately following the Benghazi attack, the Internet became rife with speculation that Ham had been pushed out for wanting to do more militarily to help those Americans who were stranded after the attack. Shortly afterward, Ham announced his retirement, further fueling speculation that he was pushed out. Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Buck McKeon, R-Calif., put the question to Ham. 

MCKEON: "This might be a good time to ask. ... I heard that you had made the statement that you were prepared to go to their aid and somebody told you no and you said you were going anyway. Is that all some supposition that comes from some reporter?" 

HAM: "Yes, sir. No one ever told me no." 

The new congressional testimony also shows that Ham was left out of White House-led discussions regarding preparedness and force posture on the eve of Sept. 11, despite White House assurances that then-counterterrorism adviser John Brennan had met for weeks with deputies and the nation's principal national security advisers to review "security measures" and force protection at home and abroad. 

A White House press release on the eve of the Benghazi attack stated unequivocally: Brennan "convened numerous meetings," and the president and his national security principals discussed "steps taken to protect U.S. persons and facilities abroad." But according to Ham, whose area of operation came under attack, he was not asked what forces he had pre-positioned in the event of an attack and whether they were they sufficient. 

ROBY: "So did anyone in DOD, the White House or national security staff, including Mr. Brennan, review the force posture with you?" 

HAM: "Not personally with me. I did have a discussion with General Dempsey. ... I did not have a personal discussion with anyone at the national security staff."

WHY WASN'T MORE HELP SENT IN BEFORE AND OR DURING THE ATTACK ?? LAME OBAMA ...

And yet AFRICOM commanders were aware of a deteriorating security situation in Libya, and had discussions at the Defense secretary and Joint Chiefs level, following a visit to Libya in December 2011 by then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Panetta and his aides noted the rise of violent militias and the lack of any Marine element at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli. It is customary for the State Department to enlist the help of a Marine detachment to secure Embassy property and classified materials in most countries around the world. Ham and other Pentagon officials had offered to provide Ambassador Chris Stevens with Marines for the Embassy in Tripoli. One of the remaining questions is why the State Department did not accept the Pentagon offer. There were no U.S. Marines stationed anywhere in Libya on the night of the attack. 

WITTMAN: "Do you feel that your concerns were actioned upon in the proper way, maybe in a sense to where it could have prevented the incident there on September 11th?" 

HAM: "I don't know that I would go so far to say that it would have prevented the attacks that occurred on September 11th. But it won't surprise you that as a military commander, you know, I wanted more resources. And the resource that I felt I needed most was additional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to gain a better understanding of what was happening." 

Ham argued against repeated suggestions by committee members and some military analysts that sending an F-16 to fly over Benghazi on the night of the attack would have made any difference. In Afghanistan and elsewhere during the past 12 years of war, U.S. fighter jets have routinely been used in unarmed flyovers to disperse enemy forces without dropping bombs. 

"I considered and could have placed aircraft on heightened alert and probably could have relocated them into other places," Ham told the subcommittee. "But I, again, knowing the intelligence that I had at the time, not obviously what I have now, but the intelligence I had at the time caused me to conclude in my military judgment that attack aircraft would not be the appropriate response tool. And so I did not direct a heightened alert." 

AFRICOM commanders and Pentagon officials say they were more focused on threats emanating from Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan on Sept. 11, 2012. "As I look back at the intelligence, I don't see the indications of imminent attack in Benghazi," Ham said.   

REP. JOE HECK: "[W]ere there any assets available that could have had an impact should the decision have been made to launch?" 

HAM. "No, sir." 

The vice chief of operations on the Joint Staff in the Pentagon that night, Maj. Gen. Darryl Roberson, himself a seasoned F-16 pilot, added, "We were postured as appropriately as we can be and we thought we should be around the world. It wasn't just in Africa, in North Africa, that we had issues. We had issues around the world." 

Other military experts counter there have been contingency plans in place in the event of an Embassy attack and a missing ambassador since 1979 when the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was overtaken, and those contingency plans do involve DOD assets serving as a global quick reaction force. 

Former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, the author of "Lone Survivor," was left alone on the Afghan-Pakistan border after his three team members were killed during a secret mission in Afghanistan in 2005; he was rescued by an Afghan. He questions the DOD response timeline. 

"At least go get the bodies sooner than later would be my kinda argument with that -- if you got Americans in trouble who are getting overrun -- especially our embassy our ambassador -- two of my teammates. I don't care how late in the day it is -- You send help!" he said. 

The attack was waged over the course of seven hours.

  13 HOUR'S !!!! ... NO HELP CAME ???????

 DUMBASS OBAMA AND CLINTON ...

"The extraction took an exceptionally long amount of time," Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said while questioning Ham. "I still don't understand, with two men down by 10:00 p.m. local time and then another attack at 5:00 a.m. the next morning, how at 6:05 in the morning the Department of Defense prepares a C-17 to go down, and that doesn't actually depart Germany until 2:15 p.m. and doesn't return back to Germany until 10:19 p.m. I have flown with you from Germany to Libya. It is not that far a flight." 

The last survivors, and the body of Stevens, did not leave the Benghazi airport, where they were waiting for a Libyan transport plane to fly them back to Tripoli, until 10 a.m. the next day, more than 12 hours after the initial attack. During testimony, it was revealed that Libyan transport planes could only fly during daylight. The sun wouldn't rise until 6:49 a.m. that day in Benghazi, more than an hour and a half after the second attack on Americans in Libya. 

Further, the quick response force that was mobilized, a FAST team of Marines in Rota, Spain, was forced to deplane and change out of their uniforms before flying to Libya, committee members learned. 

  WTH ... NO ONE TELL'S OUR MILITARY WHAT THE HECK TO DO WHEN
AMERICAN LIVES ARE IN GRAVE DANGER. NO ONE ...   

"When we got people down do you really have -- do you really actually let somebody push the military around and say, well, you are in the wrong uniform," Chaffetz asked in disbelief. "Is that really a reason to delay the FAST team coming in to protect Americans, that they are not wearing a t-shirt?" 

 OBAMA AND CLINTON HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HAND'S. COMPLETE SCREW UP BY THE OBAMA ADMIN. HOWEVER, NO ONE WAS FIRED ?? 4 DEAD AMERICAN'S AND OBAMA TAKES NO ACTION ?? WTH ... THEY LIED AND BLAMED SOME VIDEO WHICH THEY KNEW WAS A LIE !!!!
