Marvin Gabrion Appealing AGAIN... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LooksLikeCRicci · 05-01-2006, 12:57 PM

I was running a search on the Web today to find convicted killer Marvin Gabrion's website when I found this article. Thought it may be of some interest to some of you folks.

For those of you that don't remember, Marvin Gabrion was the man who was convicted of abducting and killing Rachel Timmerman just a few days before she was set to testify against him for rape. Gabrion was also linked to four or five other missing persons cases and had been previously convicted for Social Security Fraud. A particularly memorable part of the case involved the fact that Rachel was abducted along with her daughter Shannon. Even though Rachel's body was later discovered, Shannon was never found.

This guy is such a total sleaze!!! I googled his name the other day and was utterly sickened to see that he's able to have a webpage from Death Row (which was disturbing to discover he's housed only 45 minutes from me!) Anyway in it he was trying to garner everyone's sympathy, saying he was an innocent man sentenced to death. He wants people to write him indepth letters no shorter than 3 pages and even intimated that people are allowed to send him money! Anyway its absolutely infuriating to me that he's able to have access to things like that. He was even preaching a sob story about how some people there are able to work and earn money but he's been told he'll never be able to. Does he really think that anyone with a brain in their head thinks he's innocent or will feel sorry for him in any way knowing what he did to Rachel and what he probably did to her baby?

I always wondered if he gave that baby away, or sold her, like that guy in Kansas did. You know, the one who killed the mother then gave her baby to his brother to raise? The brother didn't know the whole story, adopted the baby, and it was 13 or 14 years later -- after the killer had been arrested -- that the authorities figured out who she was.

There was this segment from the early 90s I guess where they had this psychic who would draw people who had pre-deceased him. One of these pictures was that of an elderly lady. The elderly lady looks like Shannon Timmerman. Spooky!

Well I'm just going by what I know of the guy but I definitely think he killed Rachel as well as the other acquaintances of his that mysteriously went missing. He rapes Rachel first and before she can testify against him rapes her again and murders her and throws her in the water. I can't imagine a guy like that having any compassion for any living thing, not even a defenseless baby, and wouldn't have tried to find her a good home. Since she hasn't surfaced I do think that Gabriol killed her as well.

Of course I hope I'm wrong on that.

I know that Rachel's family think that Gabrion sold the baby, but you'd think that SOMETHING would have turned up on that trail.

In addition, didn't they think that Rachel was still alive when she was thrown into the water? For some reason, that stuck with me. I really hope it wasn't the case, though.

That guy is such a creep. I remember viewing the segment on Rachel Timmerman two months back and it inspired me to write a paper on her case for my criminal investigation class. On researching online about Gabrion there is no doubt in my mind that he committed all of the murders he's suspected of. There's one website that followed the trial closely http://www.mlive.com/grpress/special/gabrion/ and you can read testimony on how his small circle of friends all became missing around the period of Rachel's death. And it's website!!Ugh I'm glad he's rotting in jail. What breaks my heart is baby shannon...she was a beautiful baby =(

I too think he nothing but guilty for the murders and everything he has been charged with.. people like him deserved the walls of prison to keep them company.. it is unfortunate that he been able to convice people that he may be innocent!

Was that sarcasm? Yes, Gabrion is entitled to his constitutional rights. However, I'm completely against him getting away from a murder rap on the basis of a jurisdictional question.

crystaldawn · 05-05-2006, 09:14 PM

Well I wasn't even going to put a link to his webpage because I didn't want to give him any additional attention. However no doubt the attention he will get from people on this board that read it will be negative so I'll go ahead and post it. The ramblings of a poor innocent man on death row. Get out your hankies folks..

You know if they ever made a movie about this creeps life don't you think Sean Penn would be a great person to play Gabrion? My sympathy to SP but I think they look alike.

I can't think of anyone who would be more suitable. Yes, Marvin Gabrion looks like Sean Penn. And if Hollywood were to make a movie about Gabrion, they'd probably make a hero out of him.

Sad but true. However, Sean Penn would play a KILLER bad Gabrion (Pardon the pun, but it's still true.)

kadrmas15 · 05-29-2006, 09:51 PM

Wow, yeah Marvin Gabrion, I had no idea he had this personal site. That is some pretty sick stuff. The sad thing is I bet Gabrion gets several letters a week. I have actually thought about writing to prisoners before but I would never write to soemone like Gabrion. I mean Gabrion has made killers that I thought were terrible look humane. Gabrion gives Richard Ramirez a run for his money. Richard Ramirez in his heyday back in the late 80's was actually receiving 70 letters a day. A prison official in California said this has whittled down to about 10 letters a day.

kadrmas15 · 05-29-2006, 10:09 PM

However Gabrion is the only person I feel was capable of murdering Rachel Timmerman in the way she was murdered. Gabrion is in the top 5 in terms of cruel that I have seen on UM I think. She died by drowning meaning she was alive when she was thrown in the water. She had ducttape placed over her eyes and mouth. She was also handcuffed and weighed down with cinderblocks. Terrible. I also have no doubt that Gabrion murdered Wayne Davis to keep him quiet. I am also sure Gabrion murdered Robert Allen and John Weeks. I think Gabrion used Weeks to get to Timmerman and then murdered Weeks within a couple of weeks probably because he was afraid Weeks wouldnt be able to keep his mouth shut. As for Marvin Gabrion appealing again, well we can all look forward to at least another 5 to 10 years of this until his appeals run out. Then an execution date will finally be set. Appearantly Gabrion was quite popular when he was in high school and he graduated in 1971 and was a letterman in football and track. However apperantly Gabrion was involved in a serious accident in his late 20's and suffered a head injury and he was never the same after that.
