Ketron Island follow up.

submitted 6.7 years ago by ronnyCPI

This is a follow up to the sticky "Ketron Island: Possible new target location for digging. (pizzagate) "

This is incredible to me. Is this what mainstream media thinks can pass for reporting? Apparently.

I took a quick look thru about 4 MSM stories on this incident. Not one word about a body found, missing or otherwise. No searches mentioned.

And he didn't crash in the water, but on the island. If I was a family member I'd want to see a body for confirmation. Are we all just to assume

he died without leaving a body, or body parts?

Here's CNN. No mention of finding a body, looking for a body, nothing.

If anyone else has any information I'm missing on this, please share. I realize this may not be pg related, but since there's a sticky on this,

thought I'd ask for some help.

(Portland, OR) -- A man accused of stealing an airplane and crashing it to his death in Washington state has ties to Oregon. KATU reports 29-year-old airport worker Richard Russell once operated a bakery in North Bend with his wife. Russell and his wife operated the Hannah Marie's Artisan Breads and Pastries for three years there before moving to Washington state. The Seattle Times says Russell was a well-liked Christian youth leader who was described by friends and family as quiet, warm and compassionate. Russell allegedly stole the empty Horizon Air Bombardier Q400 from Sea-Tac Airport on Friday, performing tricks and maneuvers before crashing on a wooded island about an hour later.

Where is Ketron Island? Who lives there?

Ketron Island, the site of a crash of a hijacked Alaska Airlines plane taken from Sea-Tac Airport sits in the South Puget Sound.

The privately owned island is reachable only by ferry and is served by the Anderson Island-Steilacoom ferry run by Pierce County. The population listed in the 2010 U.S. Census was all of 17 people.

The 221-acre island was supposed to be named for William Kittson of the Hudson’s Bay Company, who supervised the construction of Fort Nisqually in 1833, according to the book Washington State Place Names. The name was bungled while transcribed to a map, giving the island its name.

Palatial Ketron Island home sells for $1.1 million

A 5-acre estate with 1,000 feet of waterfront, commanding views of Puget Sound and the Olympics and a midcentury home built in the style of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright on the northern tip of Ketron Island has sold to a Lacey couple.

The 5,300-square-foot home, which is equipped with its own pier and a guest cabin, was featured in both The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal when it went on the market last year. The News Tribune wrote about the home last August.

The new owners are Thurston County restaurateurs Nicole Pham and her husband Jim Porter, according to Karen Vincent who handled the sale for Morrison House Sotheby’s International Realty. The estate originally was listed for $1.77 million. Then it was reduced to $1.299 million. It sold for $1.1 million.

The couple own a small chain of Lemon Grass Vietnamese restaurants in Thurston County.

Marion Chenaur, who with her husband owned the property for a quarter-century, sold because she was a widow and she wanted to live where retailers and public services were closer than on the island. The island has 20-some residents. It has no gas station, store, mail delivery or refuse pickup. The only public access to the island is via a four-times-daily Pierce County ferry from Steilacoom.

Many island residents, like Chenaur’s late husband, commuted by their own boat to the mainland. Island residents maintain their own dock in Steilacoom.

Pham and Porter may use it as a family retreat while maintaining a home on the mainland. They were unavailable for comment Friday afternoon.

The home was built for J.C. Morris, an Anchorage entrepreneur, who bought the entire island in 1946. He envisioned some 200 homes on the property with an island retail center, churches and a school, a quiet residential retreat in the middle of Puget Sound.

Morris’ development ideas were never fulfilled in part because building out the island would have required construction of an expensive sewer treatment system to serve many of the home sites. The estate itself uses a septic system because the ground there is properly drained to allow one.

The midcentury modern home, built to a design by Tacoma architects Harris, Reed & Wilson that borrows liberally from the residential work of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, remains much as it was when it was finished 52 years ago.

The home, which was built with narrow slices of Wilkeson sandstone, Montana slate and Washington granite, takes advantage of the sights that attracted Morris to the island after World War II.

The home features an 800-square-foot living room with panoramic water views, a wine cellar, three bedrooms in the main house and a storage room on the ground level to store supplies brought from the mainland.

The grounds include a lush garden and a beach populated with driftwood and small rounded stones.

There is much in all three of these links. He used to work with Young People which has not been on MSM. Also they started out in North Bend, Or. and moved to the Seattle Area. But really why did he choose Ketron Island of all places. The Island seems to me to be a place for the Rich and Famous. There are only 17 people living there and they need 4 trips a day from the ferry. Also some have their own boats and they do not have garbage pickup. Also, there are some Well Connected here, owning Restaurants, etc. Lots to Dig, imo. @
