A family man, John Atchison promised what he thought was the 5-year old girl's mother he wouldn' t hurt the child -- stating he'd done it before. In reality, he was corresponding with an undercover deputy in Michigan. He showed up at the airport with toys. The guy was a riser in the Dixie GOP. He tried suicide in jail, the second time successfully.

I wondered if he is friends with Bob Riley, Mark Fuller and the rest of the Alabama Old GOP Boys?
