Murder Most Foul....a murderers disquise

two years after Clarence was shot by his daughter the truth of all that had been hidden surfaced when Clarence was arrested for a 22 year old murder of his daughters real mother

It was February 16, 2001, when Clarence Oliver "Ollie" Bean JR., age 56, was arrested at his Mayville home for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend

he had committed that crime 22 years earlier in a small town in Michigan

In the end,Bean's wife testified that she was with Bean when he disposed of Diane Chorba body in the woods near Luther Michigan. Bean was convicted and received from 30 to 60 years in a Michigan Prison. Diane Chorba's remains have never been found

On May 1979, Diane Chorba, age 30, was pregnant with Bean's second child when she disappeared. Bean claimed Chorba was killed on the doomed flight of American Airlines 191 that crashed in Chicago, Illinois. Chorba's remains were never found, and she was eliminated as one of the passengers on that fateful flight . In January 1980, as the investigation into Chorba disappearance continued, Bean a truck driver, left Michigan and moved his family to Oregon where he continued to live untile he was arrested

Bean and his wife had four children, three sons and a daughter. One son drowned in the John Day River. One son was only 28 years old when he was killed in a car accident. One son is in an Oregon Prison for a violent crime he committed. When a domestic violence dispute erupted between Bean and his children, he was shot by his daughter. The injury from the bullet left Bean paralyzed for the rest of his life. He went to jail in a wheel chair

only sadness,chaos and death followed for the Beans after that move to Oregon

Clarence had reaped the wild wind...and nearly everyone in the family had been caught in the whirlwind that followed them across the United States to my small county

only his daughter was freed from the tragedy eventually...she was too young to save her REAL mother...but saved her stepmother from a repeat performance

Today, Bean's wife lives in Mayville. Once a year she returns to Michigan, searching in the wood for the remains of Diane Chorba

Bean's daughter continues to live with her husband and family in Gilliam County

Casey Anthony needs to understand Karma will bite her in the a$s someday....as we can see from the Bean case

it's just around the corner waiting to show itself
