Sheriff Jim Ruth's Cleveland Banner article..
It is hard to imagine that an individual can bottom out emotionally and spiritually to the point, where there is no more hope. In that situation, all ambitions and hope are gone. That person has no more dreams that breed hope, which brings about motivation and action. Happiness comes with this motivation and in reaching out to others.
So, this is where a suicidal person finds himself, totally hopeless. I do not speak about suicide as a professional care giver, but as a lawman and a fellow human being. If there is someone close to you that is threatening suicide, please call in a professional psychologist or a minister. Many of our ministers are professionally trained and have earned a degree in counseling. |

Sheriff Jim Ruth's Cleveland Banner article..
A few days ago a longtime friend handed me a copy of a story about a young boy in foster care. This boy, Jack, was a well-behaved kid in Sunday school, but his Sunday school teacher realized that she wasn’t really reaching him.
So, the teacher checked on the boy’s background and found out his birth mother was never a real mother to him and his father was a drunkard of the worst kind.

 Marsha Brantley
Family members and close friends of Marsha Ellen Rader Brantley are asking anyone with details of her disappearance almost two years ago to come forward and share what they know with one of the investigating agencies. Brantley was 51 years old when she was last seen in late May or early June of 2009. She was not reported missing until November when a friend contacted a local attorney to report she had not been seen for several months. The attorney passed the information to the District Attorney’s Office and they notified the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Recently the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office accepted a significant role in the ongoing TBI investigation to seek new information in the missing persons case. At the time of her disappearance Brantley was married to Donnie Brantley and they had no children. He has told the TBI that his wife left him and they were planning to divorce. Brantley is described as approximately 5’ 8" tall and weighing around 125 pounds. She has light brown hair and blue eyes. Brantley was known to enjoy camping and frequently spent time in a family-owned camper in Townsend Tennessee. Investigators have not found the camper and are seeking information about it as well. Anyone who can provide information about Brantley or her camper should contact either the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND, or the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office at 423-728-7336. |

Sheriff Jim Ruth's weekly column..
In my law enforcement career, I have dealt with people with many personalities and character types. Everything from the very simple minded to the very sophisticated con-man who knows how to manipulate people in subtle ways.
The con-man knows the right buttons to push as he lays the ground work to take advantage of the unsuspecting victim. He knows how to tap into the victims greed and selfishness, as he sells his investment scam. Impossible returns are promised, as the net is tightened around the new "investor." |
