Justice For Lorissa

It has been a little less than a year since I first met David Keeter and began the long trip down the rabbit hole that has led me to the truth of Lorissa McComas' final years. In that time I have made many contacts, some of them good friends and family of hers, whereas others (whose testimony will not be published) have been largely responsible for helping what came to pass. But in the last several weeks I have made contact with one of Lorissa's best childhood friends, a contact that may prove to be a game-changer. I have since been blessed with the opportunity to assist her in finally pursuing the justice that has been a near 4 years coming, and I invite all of you to join with me in this effort.

There has recently been a campaign started on Facebook at Justice For Lorissa to bring this effort to the next level, and with it a petition on Change.org to get the Virginia State Police to re-open Lorissa's case and hopefully bring Doug Taylor to trial for her murder. At present the Facebook page has a little over 100 likes and the petition has a couple dozen signatures, but more is needed to make this a reality. If you are a fan of Lorissa's work, an awe-struck admirer like myself, or just someone who believes that words such as "Justice" and "Fairness" carry meaning for all those whom share this world, please join the effort by visiting the Facebook page and also signing the petition. The words of the petition are posted below and can also be read on the Change.org page.

Lorissa McComas was a beautiful model and actress who was originally from Mason Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati. She was in countless movies and publications dating from the early 90’s thru the late 2000’s.

During the closing months of 2006 Lorissa had filed for divorce and moved from Melbourne, Florida to Waverly, Virginia  in efforts to free herself from her alcoholic and abusive husband Doug Taylor. During this time she was in the process of winning back custody of her son, who was taken from her by the Florida CPS due to unfit living conditions. These conditions were largely the fault of Doug's drunken gun slinging behavior i.e. Doug shooting a gun thru a door knowing their son was on the other side. Lorissa's efforts in leaving Florida and Doug were with the assistance of her fiancé and protector David Keeter, whom she had planned to marry once a divorce from her husband was finalized. After a series of bizarre and blatant abuses of power courtesy of the ATF, David found himself in Gilmore federal prison on bogus charges leaving Lorissa without financial or other needed support. Soon after this occurred, Doug Taylor came to Waverly and began a near 3 year cycle of abuse until her alleged suicide on November 3rd, 2009. Though Lorissa's death was ruled a suicide by the Waverly Police Department there were massive irregularities in Doug Taylor's alibis (he changed his story no less than 3 times in the first four hours), as well as several pieces of evidence suggesting Doug to be the cause of her death.

• Here are a few:

 • Doug had Lorissa call into work for him November 3, 2009 @ 10 am to say he was sick. In reality he was still intoxicated from the previous night he spent drinking and verbally abusing her. When Lorissa called into Doug's work at Glen's Texaco in Waverly, Va. that morning she was said to be in good spirits.

 • Lorissa was killed @ approx. 10:30 am November 3, 2009 with a Mossberg 12 gauge pump shotgun that Doug always had by his side and had previously pulled on other visitors to her home.

 • Several residents of Waverly have stated that Doug was abusive and irrational during the period leading up to her death, most importantly the night prior to and the morning of her death.

• Lorissa did NOT know how to use a pump shotgun.

 • Lorissa's fingerprints were NOT on the gun.

 • Lorissa did NOT have powder burns or residue on her hands.

• Doug had powder burns and blood on his hands and in his hair, his fingerprints were on the weapon of death.

• The most incriminating of all is the fact that Doug spoke with David in Federal prison on November 9th, 2009 at 9:05pm and confessed to the crime. Federal prison phone calls are recorded as a matter of policy, but the Federal Government elected NOT to pursue the matter despite having a taped confession of an admitted murderer.

 • After the police declared Lorissa’s death a suicide Doug disappeared along with Lorissa's film and print originals that he continues to sell and collect profit from via the internet. His whereabouts are still unknown.  

 Justice demands that the case be reopened, all audio evidence currently possessed by the Federal Government be subpoenaed and that Doug Taylor be charged with Lorissa McComas' murder.  A beautiful model/actress and mother of an innocent child has been taken from the world, a potentially dangerous man still walks free, and it is very likely that an entire community in Waverly, Virginia is being protected by an incompetent and or corrupt police department. We therefore petition the state of Virginia to reopen Lorissa's case and see to it that the Lorissa's family, friends, the American people and most importantly Doug Taylor have their day in court.
