Stanley Sisters’ Father Dies

A reader left a comment on my blog today that was very intriguing. “Draddahip” informed me that the father of the Stanley sisters, two teenagers who were found dead mysteriously in September 2007 just days apart, died in April of this year. Dale was only 52-years old.

That means in less than two years, the entire family died except the mother, Lonny Stanley and her granddaughter. Seems a little strange, doesn’t it?

Read moreThe police originally arrested the eldest daughter’s boyfriend, James McFarland, in October 2007, but earlier this year dropped all charges against him. I was relieved as the arrest made no logical sense whatsoever.

Lonny Stanley in her 911 calls to the police when her daughter died in 2007 gave me concern. Now I am more curious than ever to know if Dale suffered from any serious long term illnesses (like cancer?) or if something just “popped up” over the last year or so.

I searched online to find Dale’s obituary and I found this in the Centerville, Indiana paper, the Pal-Item. It’s a pay-per-view obituary:

Father of Stanley sisters dies after illness Sun Apr 5, 2009

Born Dec. 2, 1956, in Richmond to Donald and Ruth Stanley, he had worked at Dick Hill and Son Heating and Air Conditioning. Survivors include his wife, Lonny J. Stanley; two brothers and a sister….

The sisters’ death in 2007 was a baffling mystery, but nothing compared to what a mystery it has become today. I hope someone in Indiana gives this case a good look over to ensure no one else keels over dead without due cause. I am quite concerned and would like to know more…
