Investigators located Guttierez's body in a remote area of Lane County. He has been missing since the Mapleton bank robbery on August 3rd.
Worthless scum sucking pond trash, too lazy to work so they prey on other people. They are parasites that need to be removed from society. They are breathing and taking up space that could be used by good people. They will go through a failed justice system, maybe some plea bargains, but one thing for sure, one or more of them will get out of jail before their sentence is up and commit more crimes, that is just the way it is anymore. A failed system, where none of these people should have even been on the street.
