New Mexico Hollywood Video Murders

[Philip Shiflett]

Attention World,
For those interested, three fine young people, Mylinh
Daothi, Yowanda Castillo and Zachary Blacklock were
murdered in the backroom of a Hollywoood Video store in
Albuquerque, New Mexico on March 3, 1995 after a robbery of
the store.
Evidently, Zach Blacklock's grandparents, George and
Pauline McDougle, married for 55 years, concerned for
his safety, traditionally picked him up at 2:00 AM or so.
With criminals, no good deed goes unpunished. Their
reward for caring about their grandson was to be taken from
the store at gunpoint to a remote area of the Sandia
Mountains and be murdered with shotgun blasts. A 9mm
pistol was emptied into their corpses to ensure they
were dead, the 'coup de gras.'
A manhunt ensued for the worst killers in Albuquerque
history. Retired police and FBI agents donated thier time
to find the perpetrators. Citizens and LEOs combed the
mountains until the McDougals bodies were found.
The killers were Esther Beckly and Shane Harrison.
They were arrested after APD, the Sherriff's department,
The New Mexico State Police and FBI, by good old
fashioned, gumshoe cop work tracked down and checked out
over 1,200 leads from private citizens. One of them was
a winner. The whole town cried. You could feel it. The
whole community was literally devasted at the callous
murder of five wonderful people to prevent their talking
about who might have stolen less than a thousand dollars.
And now, the saddest part of the story. It could have
been prevented. It didn't have to happen.
Shane Harrison was recently released from prison after
serving 4 years of a ten year sentence for armed robbery,
kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon and other charges
relating to two different store robberies in which he
'brandished guns and tied up the victims'.
Evidently Shane learned that dead men tell no tales.
Shane Harrison was not on parole. He didn't finish his
sentence. He was on an early release program called
'reintegration' in which felons are placed in the community
before their sentence runs out. Here's the way it works.
1. You commit a crime. Like armed robbery or kidnapping
or both.
2. One year prior to your sentence being half served,
you're released into the community.
3. You kill.
It a simple system and it works.
Ester Beckly knows it works. She was sentenced, for drug trafficing,
to nine years in prison. Judge R.W. Galinnin suspended three years and
gave
her credit for time spent on probation againt the prison
sentence. During the probation, she sold stolen property,
frequented bars and failed her drug tests. She then
served one year less than one half the remaining
sentence. She was incarcerated on May 4th, 1995 and was
out in time to murder on March 3rd, 1996.
Well folks, what should New Mexicans have learned?
1. Execute kidnappers. It used to be that way in the US
and it needs to be that way again. It would have saved 5
wonderful lives.
2. Prisoners must serve their entire sentence. Not one
half minus one year or released on probation.
3. Do not think you can protect your loved ones by
picking them up at work. You're just providing more
victims. Unless your armed, you're asking to be
murdered.
New Mexico's liberal Democrats bottled up our
CCW law this year and last, preventing people like the
McDougle's from being armed on their late night mission to
care for their grandson. Thanks a lot, New Mexico Democrats.
Pass a CCW law in your state. Women and the elderly need
it. They're powerless against these thugs.

the first chance it gets, because it's still a rattlesnake.
