I remain curious about the TWO women who married Earnest L. Hargon.

If Hargon lost the custody case involving his son--and having been jailed for
contempt during the proceeding would indicate he did--then how is it that
Hargon's step-father, Jack Glancy, has raised the child.

Mr. Glancy is quoted as saying that he and his late wife (Eva Heflin--the
mother of Earnest) raised the boy (now 15) since he was 7 months old.

Can anyone shed light on this factor?

Maybe the custody battle was between the Glancys and Hargon.

***It's not uncommon for birth parents to lose custody of their children to
their own parents. Apparently both Hargon's were unfit to bring up the child.

The original post isn't on my newsreader any longer, so I'm
quoting parts of the news story:

(SNIP)

>He is a great kid and a good student, Glancy said. With
>his voice breaking, Glancy said, "I'm concerned about J.P.
> He lost his mother, lost his grandfather and now he's lost
> his dad, all in less than a year."

I'm sorry, folks, but this family tree doesn't have enough
forks. This is one of the most convoluted batch of
relationships I've ever read about.

Do I have this right?

Eva marries Charles Hargon.
Gives birth to Earnest
Divorce.

Earnest marries first wife.
Birth of son JP in (approx) 1989
Divorce

Eva marries Glancy.
They take custody of JP

Earnest marries Lisa

Now....who is Glancy talking about when he says "lost
his mother...". Eva Glancy? Isn't Eva the GRANDmother?

***No. Earnest is not a Hargon--he was five when his mother married Charles
Hargon.

***Could be. But more likely it's Earnest's first wife whose name is/was
Jeaneva Lynn Mowdy.

Isn't Eva the GRANDmother?

***Yes.

I know you just slipped here. Eva married Charles, then Charles adopted Eva's
son, Earnest.

**I guess he's talking about Eva, who was really the grandmother.
I'd like to know where the real mother is now. If she's dead, I wonder if
Earnest had a hand in it.
I can't believe he has not done horrible things before, and gotten away with
it.

A few days ago I was on another message board and the post was from the
stepchild of Earnest first wife Geneva. The post said that Geneva and Ernest
were into drugs pretty heavy during that time. Geneva leaves Ernest and
marries this other man who also has a child and they continue to do drugs (if I
didn't misunderstand) to this day. That website has already deleted the posts
so I can't paste it in. It was stated that Ernest son did go to live with the
grandparents and Geneva would go and visit him there on weekends. It was later
on during the end of the messages that the person who was posted actually
realized that Ernest was the first husband of their step-mom Geneva.

This morning's Jackson Clarion-Ledger carried an interview with Jack Glancy,
the step-father of accused murderer, Earnest Lee Hargon.

The article was interesting, but, alas, a quotation concerning James Phillip
Hargon, the step son of Earnest Hargon, is a bit misleading. Mr. Glancy stated
that J.P. had lost a mother, grandfather, and now his father all in less than a
year.

The "mother" that Mr. Glancy referred to 15 year old James Philip losing, would
have been Eva H. Glancy.

Mrs. Glancy was, in fact, the adoptive step-grandmother of the boy, but since
she had raised him from the age of seven months, in a sense, she would have
been the only mother that J.P. knew. She and her husband, Jack, were given
formal custody of J.P. when he was about five.

(Eva H. Glancy was born May 14, 1928 and lived in Taylorsville, MS before her
death from cancer on April 25, 2003.)

From my own research, I believe that J.P.'s actual mother (and the former wife
of Earnest Lee Hargon) is the Jeaneva L. Mowdy, age 40, who lives now at 1140
Louise Ave., Lancaster, PA.

I'd be surprised if she was not now the subject of police questioning.

Earnest Lee's mother sued for custody of J.P. citing both Earnest Lee
and Neva (the first wife) as being unfit. His mother was awarded sole
custody of J.P.

We have not really seen Earnest Lee since he moved down to
Taylorsville, but his daddy (Mr. Charles Hargon) told my husband once
in a conversation since moving down there and I guess meeting and
marring Lisa Ainsworth he was doing a lot of changing and rethinking
things for the better.

As far as him being held in contempt I would think any parant would do
the same thing.

My husband and I know Earnest Lee and have for years. Reguardless of
what anyone may think Earnest Lee has all ways been a good person. I
guess you have to live the life to understand but he is a Cowboy and
that is a way of life. Yes he has been charged with something
nightmarish, but unless anyone else was there that morning we don't
know what took part on either side.

I will also add I don't think Eva was all that great of a parent
herself. As for Neva there's no telling were she wondered off to after
the divorce.

I do feel bad for the Michael Hargon family, but I also feel bad for
Earnest Lee I feel so sure he went up there with no intention of
killing anyone. I have also heard Michael could be a hot head too.
Earnest Lee may not be a Hargon by blood but Mr. Charles raised him
and by God he is a Hargon through and through and they all can be
smartmouths and hotheads.

We do know he strangled a small child. That's evil. Flat-out evil.

***But Karen, you don't understand what A. Cauthen is trying to tell us. JP
was a *Hargon* and no doubt had a temper. Chances are he *provoked* old
kind-hearted Earnest.

no amount of provocation can be any excuse for taking a strap and stranggling a
small child... and possibly sexually assaulting the mother... that isn't any
part of being a cowboy or a "good ole boy".. I understand how quickly one can
explode under provocation, grew up in it.. but to kill and entire family, move
and hide the bodies.. there is something very sick about that...

This "A Cauthen" has got to be a troll. Who could possibly defend the actions
of someone who killed a whole family, including a helpless little child?

I was not defending his actions, just stating what could have gone on.
Also as I said unless anyone else was there that morning no one knows
what happened earlier.

Also if it makes you (someone who only knows what the media which is
saying anything with no back up seems like) feel better to call me a
troll go ahead and when the day comes your family member or friend
does something horrible remember how easy it is to become a "troll".

Also I am all for the DP reguardless as to who the person is. If they
did the crime they sure deserve to pay dearly. My reason for posting
is to let y'all know Earnest Lee has not always been this way and I
believe he (not saying he should be freed, But if he were) wouldn't do
like this again.

My final remark is YOU ALL NEED TO REMEMBER NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE
TODAY TOMORROW MAY NOT BE THE SAME. You never know.

Nothing. NOTHING that happened could have justified strangling that
little boy. Nothing.

I won't be strangling any children. I know _that_.

***Well, I'd certainly be interested in hearing your scenario justifying the
ligature strangulation of a 4-year-old. You think, maybe, little JP stole some
money from Earnest or slept with Lisa?

***It's interesting to me that your reaction to the news that a friend of yours
murdered an entire family, including a small child is not, "Holy cow! What
else about this guy didn't I know--he really had me fooled." but instead is,
"They must have had it coming." Says a lot about you, doesn't it?

***Well, ok. So what? Sounds like you didn't really know the guy, anyway.

***It's really impossible to know what someone else is capable of--news stories
are full of stories about astonished and disbelieving friends of murderers. I
read those almost every day. OTOH, I think most people probably know
themselves pretty well and know what they're capable of. I'd bet old Earnest
wasn't nearly as surprised at his actions as you were.

I met Jeaneva in the aftermath of Hurrikane Katrina, very nice lady, she told me about her son and how much she loves him. She was very troubled by he ex husband crimes. Situations like this can have negative effects on innocent family members. I know the man was killed in prison.
I never seen her again, I hope she is doing well and that is in company of her son.
