The attempt by David Spears, the stepfather of 9-year-old murder victim Rowan Ford to raise money through a Go Fund Me page, appears to have run into an obstacle.
A check of the Go Fund Me link shows the message "Fundraiser not found."
Spears was trying to raise at least $5,000 using the headline "Help My Family Rebuild After Unjust Job Loss."
Spears was fired after working several years for the Missouri State Public Defender's Office following an investigation by KSNF/KODE showed that Spears, who at one time confessed to the 2007 murder of Rowan Ford, and later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, was working at a taxpayer-financed job.
The report came to the attention of Rep. Lane Roberts, R-Joplin, who strongly criticized Spears' $42,000 a year job with the state. The House Budget Committee, with Republicans and Democrats supporting the position, threatened to create serious problems with the Public Defender's Office budget if Spears wasn't fired.
The idea of Spears raising money by claiming he had been unjustly fired did not sit well with area residents after they learned of it through area media, with KSNF/KODE once again breaking the story.
Readers contacted Go Fund Me to let them know about Spears' background and what actually caused him to lose his job.
Today would have been Rowan Ford's 28th birthday.

David Spears Rapes, Murders, Dumps, Rowan Ford's Body down a Cave, Confesses, Turns States Evidence - and gets a - "Get Out Of Jail Free Card", and once they let him out Early - His Attorney works out a Deal with her Husband and is Hired by the Missouri State Public Defender’s office with a Salary from the Taxpayers of Missouri as a known FELON - all the while he is on Probation for over 20-Months working for their Public Defender's Office - Stephen Reynolds, the district defender in the Clayton, Missouri trial office that hired David Spears. Stephen is the husband of Sharon Turlington, David’s former trial attorney.” THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRATS DO - - WHILE IT TOOK THE REPUBLICANS TO REMOVE HIM FROM A MISSOURI GOVERNMENT JOB PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS - - This is just one of the 1000's of Crazy things that the Democrats do - to push their CRAZY - MAILAJUSTED - DELUSIONAL - AGENDA - THROUGHOUT AMERICA - NEXT THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE THAT ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT BREAKING THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.
People sometimes ask: "Where does all that dookie go when I flush my toilet?"
The answer: If you live in Joplin it goes into a sewer pipe and it finally comes out in one of the PPPP's deranged rants!
Glad the situation was rectified. Kudos to those who fixed the problem.
So true 404, so true.
