Yes, you have to consider the source and you have to consider what this whole thing is REALLY all about...it's not an attempt to find out who "killed" David Ruffin or why, it's an attempt to bash, defame, smear, stalk, and malign Diane Showers because she's a black woman! Those two racist crackers can't stand the fact that David Ruffin went back to black...he went HOME again! ;D . So what do they do? They make up some story that David was leaving this black woman for some white chick (because that would make more sense to racist crackers than believing that he would actually stay with a woman of his own ethnicity...Oh, perish the thought!). Then they make up this story about this so-called scorned black woman becoming so irrate with being "jilted" that she decided to kill him and steal some chump change from him. Does that make any kind of sense? NO, but to these two racist idiots it does. Even when the white woman that David was supposedly leaving DS for comes to this website to tell them that their theory is 100% wrong, do you think that made any difference to them? NO, because sense, logic and facts mean nothing to these two racist idiots. The mask is off, the covers have been pulled...we all know what the so-called "investigation" really is! It's nothing but a racist witch-hunt drummed up by two crackers who have it in for this black woman, Diane, because she had DR's heart and they (or no other white woman) did, and that fact is driving them nuts! lol! You're exactly right! I've said that for years. Funny isn't it? jody claimed he was engage to Debbie at the time of his death.I read where Debbie straightened that lie out. But the point is jody was ok that the man she was so much in love with was engaged to anybody but Diane. jody has emailed and posted 20 year old pictures of her and David all over the internet,but when pictures of David and Diane surfaced (not by Diane) drex has a problem with that. Murrell has never been implicated in David's death.Matter of fact NOBODY has,yet drex bashes Diane for riding in his limo. genna wrote about his addiction and abuse,yet they both kiss her ass. But when Diane says David never thought he woud live long (although 50 is a long time for an addict). drex makes that into something sinister. BTW Sandra Ruffin said the same thing. "BTW Sandra Ruffin said the same thing." Modifying term: evading the risk of commitment in a statement. Ms. Sandra wasn't living with David in 1991 or learned he was with another woman when he left her home on May 26th, 1991. Ms. Sandra had long term bonds with David regardless of how many women David became involved with.

[/b]Ms. Sandra wasn't living with David in 1991 or learned he was with another woman when he left her home on May 26th, 1991[/quote][/b]
True Sandra wasn't living with David in the 90's ,but she was in the 60's which btw is when he became involved with genna .He was living with genna when he became involved with TT. So what is your point? David Ruffin wasn't fathful in any of his relationships. Do you think that it was a suprise to any of his women? Do you really believe that there was only one "other" woman during his relationship with Diane OR any of his other relationships for that matter. Chile Please! Are you naive or just plain stupid? If you're refering to Diaine as a "woman scorned" there are many many names you can add to that list. What is your obsession with Diane? Is it because you believe she somehow got the money? There's no way to prove she did,but I hope she did. She earned it! OR Do you believe she set him up to be overdosed? Or are you just pissed that she has refused to speak with you about her personal life? Or is it as I suspect that you're just a racist PIG? You're rolling a boulder up a mountain. [/b] I totally agree. Share that observation with jody.But I'll ask again What's your point? You should stop posting,because your responses are not represenative of an supposedly educated person. Play this old tired game on another board. Nobody here is buying the BS you're trying to sell. Spare us please from your ignorant arrogance. We have been exposed to it for too many years. Go read you Christmas cards from David Ruffins friends LOL!LOL! Power wash your mobile home,highlight your newspaper articles,just do anything other than post here. Come back only when you have convinced the authorities to pursue your "fantasy". Sheesh!

Stop being so vague and trying to explain it all away...first, there werre no needle marks on David, then cocaine can be laced with heroin...which was it? I didn't say I received Christmas Card from DR friends, I ask YOU how many you received? One constant I get from, mainly the men, I have communicated with is DR told them DS was obsessive and clingy, that she culled their phone calls and was rude when women called. "If I can't have him, nobody can?"

You're refering to people the media was interested in as "media whores".But these people unlike you knew David Ruffin in his last days. They didn't go to media,the media came to them. These reports were not given to individual newspapers . Do you not know that these reports are shared ? It's a fact you can read the same story word for word in numerous media outlets about any event. That does not mean the interviews were given to each outlet that published it. Damn you're stupid! But even if the BS you're saying is true (which it is not) SO WHAT??? You are an ATTENTION WHORE,so what makes you better than them? WHO did David Ruffin tell,he had left Diane? I'll answer that one for you. NOBODY! When and to whom did Diane say "If-I-Can't-Have-Him-Then-Nobody-Can"? Maybe YOU should re-read the reponse Debbie wrote to YOU. Where is the proof David was leaviing Diane? Many are baseing that on something that was posted regarding a statement that was either made by me or it is possible I have heard David told someone else he was "coming to Debbie's" as I have said I had very limited contact with DR while he was with Diane however I had been instrumental in helping DR on several occasions enter treatment and my personal belief was that he had slipped in London and needed some dry out time.. As I said he didn't say anything to me about Diane in my final conversation good or bad he just asked if he could come stay at the farm for a while. Let's not read to much into it because he could have told someone he was going to Debbie's and not knowing what my relationship with David was they may have presumed something and along with what I did say it got embellished and used against Diane which I have corrected I hope.What do you do drex? Throw out the answers that don't fit into your baseless theory? If you're going to quote excerts from others writtings ,why do you take them out of context? TT wrote about Murrell being upset because David had locked him (Murrell) out of his hotel room. This comment had absolutely NOTHING to do with David's leaving Philly...NOTHING!!!!! How would David's return to Detroit be a "loss" to Murrell? What type of relationship are you implying they had? WHO SAID??? Who did David Tell he was moving on? Please refer to the response I re-posted from Debbie. . WOW!!!! Why haven't you notified the authorities? This information with PROOF surely is enough to warrent an OFFICIAL investigation. As was clearly explained to YOU before in Debbie's post. If David Ruffin asked for all of his money,he was given all of his money. But going along with your BS theory, How much cash was David given? How much did Murrell "hold at bay"?[/quote] "They know you know"? WTF? The "they" you're refering to don't know you exist. How dramtic! LMAO!!!!! You have made the above statements as if they are fact. Yet, there is NOT one iota of proof to support these accusations. You have NO integrity. You can't fashion a story in your mind,then repeat it as fact. That's not investigation,that's straight up LYING. If even ONE of the accusations you have made were true,why haven't you gone to the authorities? Having proof of a robbery/homocide should be bought to the attention of the police,NOT chatterd about on the internet. NOBODY cares about what you have convinced yourself you know. PROOF and EVIDENCE are the only things that matter. Didn't they "teach" you that in your criminal law studies?

Are you serious??? Your words do nothing but prove what a lying fraud you are. You have given NO comprehensive response to anything said here,so how much weight could your words possibly have? In fact YOUR ARGUMENT LACKS MERIT .That's why you keep coming back with stupid one liners,or statements that further show your ineptness. The ATTENTION WHORE in you,is keeping you from thinking straight! It's not deflection. On the contray It's illumination. You feel comfortable in bashing Diane, who btw has never sought to gain attention because of her relationship with David Ruffin. Yet YOU are at least accquanted with 2 that have. Why aren't YOU examing their motives? The woman you are villifying is NOT on the internet trying to be acknowledged as one of David's women. genna and jody are. I bought up Sandra because she made a statement similar to Dianes, is she in on the conspriacy too? As far as being 'vauge" dex YOU ore the queen of vauge. Of course I understand why. You are unable to give an explanation of the BS you say. I have been extremely clear in the things I have said about you and to you. Fraud,Liar,Stupid what about those terms do you not understand? drex I'm not the one with a need to "explain" anything away. It's not I that's trying to bolster my reputation as a "finder of fact". It's not I that's making assumptions based on newspaper reports. It's not I that's trying to convince the internet that I know things I can't prove. I'm not the liar here,YOU ARE. I'm not running a CON YOU ARE. I'm not littering the internet with garbage YOU ARE. I'm not the one misquoting people YOU ARE. I'm not holding myself out as a super slueth YOU ARE. So I don't have to deflect or explain anything away. I'm not investigating ANYTHING or ANYBODY. YOU ARE. Poor dumb drex, crack cocaine can be cut with herion. I said the crack David smoked could have been laced with heroin. Did you not know whatever is "cooked" in crack is also smoked? Crack is smoked dumb drex, so there would be no needle marks. Heroin can also be snorted,so again no needle marks. Again you are investigating a addicts death,but haven't researched anything about drug use? Unbelievable!!!!! What a odd question,unless you were trying to imply YOU recieved Christmas cards. Who was talking about Christmas cards other than YOU? Now that's what you call Deflecting. You bring up a totally random subject,instead of addressing the one at hand. [/quote][/b] Sure you do! Why wouldn't she be rude when other women called HER HOUSE? These "men" you supposedly spoke with could say the same thing about themselves, if they ever had a woman. NOT many women,Let me rephrase, NOT many BLACK women would put up with other women calling their house. That's not clingy, that's demanding their home be respected. Would you allow it? Probably so,because you come off as stupid and needy. A female with low self esteem (such as yourself) put up with many things that healthy females do not. You keep putting that statement in quotation,as if it's a direct quote from Diane,but it's not. She did not say that. Stop Lying!!!!

Chew on his drex, while you're thinking of something stupid to say: Hotel doesn't mean anything really if you know DR. On any given evening, week, etc. hard to tell how many woman David might have been to see Doesn't even mean they were part of his Harem might have been friends. Had I been in philly DR might have come by to see me doesn't mean he was doing anything wrong and he might have even crashed a few days at my hotel room still doesn't mean he was doing anything wrong. Now if I was Diane I wouldn't approve of such things but you understand what I'm saying. I'm not sure where this Wednesday came from this is the first I've heard of it or that they argued and DR said he was out of there. Once again don't read to much into gossip Couples argue and DR saying I'm out of here and spending some time in the street is not unusual. Doesn't mean he was packing everything up and moving to Detroit. Probably meant he was wanting out to go use and picked a fight with Diane or he might have had someone new on the line or both but I would tend to favor the first scenerio of he picked a fight to get out of the house
WOW!!! Kinda kicks your "woman scorned" theory in the ass doesn't it? LOL! i think you need to go back to the proverbial drawing board. LOL!

The issue is he left and was with another-that's a downer to ego gratification. Correct me if I am wrong...it was ok to leave to do drugs and go see other woman, but they were still getting married. Really?

Really? I will correct you,because you are wrong (as usual). Diane never said it was ok for David to leave to do drugs or be with other women. David Ruffin did what David Ruffin wanted to do,ask jody. You ASSume they weren't getting married, Why? drex said Ms. Debbie was a longtime friend, lover and confidantYet YOU discount everything Debbie posted to her,because it makes too much sense or just doesn't jive the garbageYOU want people to believe. Debbie said Hotel doesn't mean anything really if you know DR.Key words here IF YOU KNOW DR. We all know that leaves you out. Not only did you not know David, or Diane you don't know the details of their relationship. But that doesn't stop you from speaking as if you do. You drex wrote that's a downer to ego gratificationLMAO!!!LMAO!! downer to ego gratification??? Really??? LMAO!LMAO! I agree you're an expert on this subject of ego gratification. After all, your failed murder investigation certainly fits into the "downer to ego gratification" catagory. LMAO!LMAO! btw David was a cheater so I guess he was a "downer to ego gratification" for many women. LMAO! Debbie wrote I'm not sure where this Wednesday came from this is the first I've heard of it or that they argued and DR said he was out of there. Once again don't read to much into gossip Couples argue and DR saying I'm out of here and spending some time in the street is not unusual.

A couple of internet college courses in criminal justice does not a investigator make. drex.don't pump yourself up. You don't know enough to "strike' a nerve with me especially on this particular subject. I'm only holding up the mirror, don't blame me if you're seeing yourself as the fraud you are. Traces of heroin? How did it get there drex? Like I said before,add that to your list of things you will never be able to prove. But on the off chance you can prove it. Go to the authorities! BTW it's not I that has reason to delfect or explain anything away. I'm not investigating Anybody or Anything,You Are. I'm not the one misquoting people You Are. It's certainly not I that's trying to implicate people I've never MET in a crime,that never took place,but YOU are. It's not I that's struggling with credibility issues but YOU Are. When are you starting your own board? You can't dazzel us with brillance,nor can you baffle us with your bull shit. It's time for you to move on,actually past time. Keep on digging! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sarah Lee, "You assume they were getting married. Why?"
Read the last sentence of the Philadelphia Inquirer article below. BTW, I would have thought the HEADLINE of the FIRST ARTICLE immediately follwing Mr. David's death would have read, "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FIANCE AND WHERE IS HIS MONEY?" NOPE, NOPE NOPE. Instead...no mention that by the time the below article came out on Sunday, the limo co owner had already sent an employee to retrieve the briefcase and take it to DS.
Paper: Philadelphia Inquirer, The (PA) > Deceased: EX-TEMPTATION DAVID RUFFIN DIES TAKEN TO HOSPITAL BY DRIVER WHO CITED DRUGS > Date: June 2, 1991 > > David Ruffin, the former lead singer of the Temptations, died at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania early yesterday morning, an hour after a limousine driver told emergency room doctors that his famous passenger had taken a drug overdose. He was 50. > > Ruffin's distinctive baritone - at times gritty, at times soaring - led the Temptations to a string of enduring hits in the 1960s, such as "My Girl," ''Since I Lost My Baby" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." > > Ruffin's star would never again be so bright. After four years with the Motown group, he left for a solo career in 1968. When busted for possession of crack cocaine in 1988, Ruffin told a judge he was penniless and living in a friend's mobile home outside Detroit. > > But he had just returned last month from a successful tour with former Temptations Eddie Kendricks and Dennis Edwards that took them to the Sands in Las Vegas, the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City and the United Kingdom, and his career was again on the ascent. > > "He had a lot to look forward to because they started to really be in demand," said Bob Redfield, his personal manager. "Wherever they went, they were well-received. They were revered and he sang great." > > According to Philadelphia police detectives, the limousine pulled up to HUP's emergency room entrance at 2:55 a.m. yesterday and the driver identified his slumped passenger and said Ruffin had overdosed. Authorities were awaiting results from an autopsy yesterday. > > The emergency room staff carried Ruffin into the hospital and tried to resuscitate him but failed, police said. He was pronounced dead an hour later, at 3:55 a.m. > > The driver left quickly, without giving any other information about Ruffin, police said. Ruffin had several friends in the city, said Redfield, of Star- Vest Management in East Brunswick, N.J. > > Ruffin's girlfriend, Dianne Showers, who said she had lived with the singer in Philadelphia since July 1989, said she was greatly saddened but not shocked by his death. She said Ruffin had used cocaine in the past. > > "He walked in the line of fire," Showers said. "I asked his ex-wife and daughters a lot of times to have him committed somewhere for approximately two years. . . . He usually denied that he was doing anything. ." > > Showers said she and Ruffin were considering marriage in January 1992. "He was very special in my heart, very special," she said. "I loved him so much..............................."
To answer you question, from a DS printed and published quote. She could have called and asked for a correction, if it were wrong. Butch Murrell did when a newspaper called his limo a crack limo. >

"I loved him so much..............................." gt; I'll pass on reading and accepting media reports as fact. If I did that I would be like you. I happen to know what Diane said,so pouring over 19 year old newspaper articles is really a waste of my time. But thanks for trying. [/b]To answer you I would have thought the HEADLINE of the FIRST ARTICLE immediately follwing Mr. David's death would have read, "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FIANCE AND WHERE IS HIS MONEY?" NOPE, NOPE NOPE.question, from a DS printed and published quote. She could have called and asked for a correction, if it were wrong. Butch Murrell did when a newspaper called his limo a crack limo.[/b][/quote] Do I need to remind you,that YOUR thoughts mean nothing? Isn't it obvious that Diane knew what happened to her fiance and his money? What needed correcting in her statement? She loved him? He was special in her heart? I don't understand WHY she would have called the papers and WHAT correction she would have made. Oh I get it she didnt say what YOU thought she should have said. You have been clowned repeatedly for using newspaper atrticles as "evidence",so what do you do in a febble attempt to answer a question? Post the same newspaper articles..LMAO!!!!! Newsflash drex,we all have read the articles,we all have read TT book,we all have read genna's book. No need for YOU to contine to recite them to us. Again thanks for trying. Good bye drex!
