Cin. enquirer: Kukuk said Carrie enjoyed going
to bars and dancing. Mrs. Kukuk recalls that some of the best
times they had were hanging out at someone's house with their
mostly male circle of friends, "We would do shots, and have a
contest to see who could down a beer the fastest." Mrs. Kukuk
said. Jason Crosley, 26, and his roommates, all part of that
close-knit group, often held those parties at the Blanchester
house they rented. To Mr. Crosley, Carrie was a real buddy. The
voice of reason. The girl who could always soothe hurt feelings

legally dead.... No matter what the verdict Clinton County jurors
return in the murder trial of Vincent Doan the issue of whether
Carrie Culberson is officially dead will remain unanswered for
now. |
8-04-97 WNJ: According to Debbie, Carrie's car only had
a rear plate. Prosecution "produced" a plate to Lancaster, The
officer, who reported the sighting. Lancaster states he could have
made a mistake because of "that plate, sir". What prosecution
failed to tell Lancaster was the plate was a duplicate. |
