Dick Dasen's dirty sheets.

Who ever guessed that one old guy could spend so much money buying himself sex here in the Flathead. Buried in the story are these unpleasant details, something to think about each and every time you enter town from the south side:

Then there is the matter of Dasen's DNA, which the state crime lab says was detected on a semen-stained bedspread in Room 233 of the Kalispell Motel 6 -- the room in which Darlene Wilcock, 26, was found strangled in April of last year. No one has been arrested in her death.

A law enforcement official familiar with the woman's autopsy report said that semen from two men was found on her body, neither of them Dasen.

The discovery of Dasen's semen at the crime scene, this official said, may simply be a coincidence, the kind of thing that can happen http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif

As disgusting as that is, it doesn't hold a candle to the second Flathead family losing a child in Iraq. This young marine believed his president and he believed that his mission was an honorable one.

The moral of this story is that only some people will face the consequences of their actions and that not everyone who profits from the exploitation of others even bothers to clean up.
