California Father and Son Arrested In Fatal Bend Hit-and-RunYou can tell Bend is becoming a big city when you hear about made-for-Hollywood crimes like this: A father and son visiting from Southern California have been arrested in the violent hit-and-run death of a Bend woman who was riding her bicycle on Third Street early Tuesday, along with the torching of the suspect car in the woods south of town, police said Wednesday.Why somebody was riding their bike down Third Street at 2:30 AM is beyond me, but she's certainly not violating any laws by doing so unless she wasn't wearing any reflective clothing or lights or she was drunk, but I digress. But basically (and all allegedly, of course) from what I'm reading, here's how I see this all went down: The son, driving daddy's Benz, drove like a maniac through town, clobbered this woman and apparently dismembered her according to the report on KFXO last night. Despite the heavy amount of damage to the car and obviously to the woman, the guy decides to get the hell out of there, tells daddy about the mess, daddy says dispose of the car. So they drive the car out southeast of town, set it on fire (completely torching it), daddy reports it stolen from the La Quinta Inn in South Bend parking lot, obviously lying to police officers. Luckily somebody tipped the police off, and they had a statement from somebody that was allegedly riding with the suspect, so they were able to trace it back to an apartment on Full Moon Ct. (just about a mile at most from my house), where they found the alleged driver, along with "a large quantity of cocaine, weight scales, a large quantity of cash and a loaded firearm." Drug-related charges haven't been filed yet. Wow. Sounds like a movie script to me, but it was the reality. And to throw some Flamebait out there, these people are tourists and/or transplants. From California. Barney over at KTVZ sent me this picture that was provided by the Bend Police Department. It's what's left of the car:  Posted by Jake on 04/18/07 @ 01:48 PM

This doesn't excuse the alleged actions of those arrested. Jon's wife said on 04/18/07 @ 02:16 PM: I hear that there was markings of what could have been a helmet in the spray paint at the scene. Jon said on 04/18/07 @ 02:19 PM: Yeah, I was wondering what kind of person would be riding at 2:30am totally dark with no gear either... it's weird. Not as bad as the killer, but weird nonetheless. Jake said on 04/18/07 @ 02:57 PM: Yeah, again, the woman was probably not supposed to be riding like she was, but that certainly doesn't excuse what these two did. Thomas Ware said on 04/18/07 @ 04:48 PM: Toururists (ict). Cokeheads too boot. What's to say about someone riding a bike in the dark without reflectives? (Anonymous) said on 04/18/07 @ 05:07 PM: Ho. Lee. Sh*t. Unfreakingbelievable. I can't imagine a dad saying, "Sure, son, let's cover up the evidence of your vehicular homicide. Go ahead and torch the 'Benz - no one will ever know." I wonder if daddy knew about the drug dealing going on, too. I mean, if he's staying at the La Quinta Inn, and his son has an apartment nearby... why? Wow. Bend is sportin' some pretty hefty headlines lately. (Anonymous) said on 04/18/07 @ 05:20 PM: http://www.myspace.com/87869057 He's a (quoting from his MySpace) "HUSTLA HOMIE" back in Cali. Jon's wife said on 04/18/07 @ 05:29 PM: "6'3 220 LIKE HANGIN OUT WITH FREINDS LOVE SPORTS WORKINGOUT DRINKING AND ALWAYS HAVING FUN " the song on the page is "Do or die" Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm sure they arrested him too late for a BAL. This almost reads like a Law and Order episode Dave Goodman said on 04/18/07 @ 10:40 PM: That's the way the Mercedes Benz. Nameless One said on 04/19/07 @ 09:47 AM: who ever wrote this must be a fag...who uses "daddy" when they talk about some ones father.... Nameless One said on 04/19/07 @ 09:50 AM: oh ya jons wife your a fag too go on some ones myspace and read ther about me you lame ass... Jake said on 04/19/07 @ 09:57 AM: Wow, that's classy. And I used the word "daddy", versus "father" because spoiled little brats like this kid typically whine "Daddy" when they want something. I doubt this kid was sitting there asking for "father" to help him out. "Daddy" or "Dad" is just used a lot more -- get over it. So call me a fag -- but at least I had the balls to put my name on here. And based on your IP address, you're posting that comment from the San Diego area, which means you must know the guy or you wouldn't have posted here. Would you like me to share your IP address with authorities? I didn't think so -- so just go away. Jon's wife said on 04/19/07 @ 10:09 AM: Yea, kiss my ass, oh nameless one. today's not the day to mess with me to hear you call me a fag (um, last I checked, I was a female, btw). I have a page on myspace and do look at others. Ok, being bigger than the teenage ass you are, like Jake said, posting about one of your "homies" who is just a wee bit of trouble who you will never get the chance to see the light of day ever again...cause I'm sure he and his father will have a trial here and while she is partially at fault for wearing dark clothes with no reflection......the DRIVER of the car holds some responsibility and certainly if they "attempt" to cover it up. Kudos to whomever was the car with a concience and coming forward. Hmmm, today's not the day to mess with me...come to think of it...not the week since I've had since Sunday. So, that's all I'll say to the pimply-ass punk who is defending a killer who didn't have the balls to come clean with what he did and had his father help him cover it up. UGH! Where's the honesty in life these days? Amber said on 04/19/07 @ 08:30 PM: Hey this is my ex-boyfriend....and that was his car payed for in cash not his "Daddys"......He really is a sweet guy,he just made a dumb mistake.We love u Chris and ur missed!!!!!!....Love Amber Renee (Anonymous) said on 04/19/07 @ 09:04 PM: Everyone has made a "dumb mistake". But when that mistake includes body parts flying off of your car, and you don't fess up and instead, torch the evidence? That "mistake" becomes a "lie", which in turn becomes "a felony". Add some white dope and we'll call it "Stupid", too. He has made "mistakes" before as well (quote from The Bulletin): Christopher Goodson has been arrested multiple times in California, Dugan continued, was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in 2004 and has a juvenile history. PS: Amber, acknowledging that the Mercedes was paid for with cash... well... not many 22-year-olds pay cash for a luxury car in legitimate ways. Know what I'm saying? Especially when you read the following quote from The Bulletin: "Christopher Goodson, who had a visible injury to his forehead at Wednesday's hearing, said he was having money problems and asked for a public defender to represent him." And you're probably right about his father not having cash: "On his application for an appointed lawyer, George Goodson wrote that he is currently out of work, said Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge Barbara Haslinger. "He shows absolutely no income whatsoever," Haslinger said. "I have no idea how he is paying his bills. His form shows expenses but no income." hmmmmmmmm Dave Goodman said on 04/19/07 @ 10:19 PM: Regardless of how you feel about the Goodsons, I think Ms. Renee probably has enough stress in her life right now. Why don't we show some compassion for a girl whose guy is in deep trouble. Jake said on 04/19/07 @ 10:26 PM: Agreed with both Keeneye and Dave here -- both of you are right. Becky said on 04/20/07 @ 11:27 AM: You know the woman killed had three kids, she couldn't sleep so she rode her bike. The intersection is visible and if Goodson had been going within the speed limit he would have seen her and be able to avoid her, instead of her body parts scattering the rode and it taking the police all day to identify her. It was a horrible accident and he should pay for what he did. Dave Goodman said on 04/20/07 @ 11:34 AM: Warning: I've read that some of the previous commenters on this post have gotten threatening emails from jackals who are presumably buddies of the Goodsons. I'd advise that you leave your comments with first names only and no link to identifying web sites. It's a strange, new world, friends. Jon's wife said on 04/20/07 @ 12:35 PM: Yep, I've heard that too.......freakin' dumbasses. You know that stuff can be traced and those who perceive it to be threatening can contact the police. Family said on 04/22/07 @ 12:52 AM: I am family of both of the men involved. Christopher is a great young man. Yes he has had troubles, but who hasn't. I am not justifying it by any means what he did. But let me set the record straight. His father has been on disability, he just got a settlement. That is where the money factors in. So all of you can stop with your assumptions that its something illegal. Its not. His father is a very messed up man. Anyone who would tell their kid to do such a thing has to be. The apartment was not Chris'. IT was Eric Brown's. Read the stories. It was also eric's drugs and guns. Eric also is the one that torched the car, along with Robert. I do not condone the actions of Christopher, but he was in total shock. The lady came out of NO WHERE. Thats what happens when people ride their bike in the MIDDLE of the road late at night with all dark clothing and no reflectors. I am not blaming the woman. But you need to understand that Chris was not driving recklass, he was not out to harm anyone. He had an accident, if he would have stayed at the scene it would have been just that and no charges would have been filed. But he fled by the guise of his own father. We all make mistakes in our lives. Some greatly larger than others. Some public, some private. But its what is was, a mistake. Chris is not a bad person, he does not do drugs, he does not seek out people to kill. He is a great young man that made a mistake. Dave Goodman said on 04/22/07 @ 10:23 AM: Thank you. It's nice to read another perspective. However, Christopher is still guilty of DWC... "Driving While Californian." dartagnan said on 04/22/07 @ 10:30 AM: "I think Ms. Renee probably has enough stress in her life right now. Why don't we show some compassion for a girl whose guy is in deep trouble." He's in deep trouble because he got himself there. As for compassion, I'm saving it for the three kids who are now orphans because of some coke-snorting little shithead. Family said on 04/22/07 @ 02:19 PM: im not exactly sure what DWC is all about. You guys seem to have a pretty superior attitude against anyone from California. I am not sure why. Also, he does not do coke. Dave Goodman said on 04/22/07 @ 03:26 PM: "You guys?" Some do, and some don't. I don't like any sentence that starts with "You guys." Most of the Oregonians I've met have been friendly and fair and judge people on their merits, not their place of birth. San Diego and Los Angeles have a steady influx of people from out of the country, and it changes the way of life. Not everybody likes that. Same thing here, only our influx is from California, and it's changing the way of life here. Then the people here who get priced out of the market become an influx someplace else, where they get treated like outsiders. It'd be nice if all sides would just take a breath, stop casting stones, and stick to the known facts. One for all, and all for one, right? ;) Kim's Family said on 05/01/07 @ 05:43 PM: Chris wasn't reckless that night? Are you kidding me, going 90 mph on a downtown street is nothing short of insane. I hope he has some visuals he will not be able to clear from his head. I know I do. Family said on 05/11/07 @ 09:58 AM: same goes for riding your bike in the middle of the road wearing dark clothes in the middle of the night. Many mistakes were made that night. Kim's Family said on 05/11/07 @ 04:33 PM: According to reports, she was maneuvering around a parked city maintenance vehicle, not just riding down the middle of the street. It may have been night, but that’s why there are streetlights. It was not dark. Chris can wish her kids a happy mother’s day. I hope this changes his life and maybe he will make some changes to help society instead of being a constant burden. Nameless One said on 05/12/07 @ 09:47 PM: y didnt you stop shelli said on 10/17/07 @ 10:25 AM: Lori, If you see this posting please try to contact me, family of christopher please contact me on loris behalf..... shelliwilliams@hotmail.com been looking for you for many years and have just stumbled upon this tragedy, my prayers to all familys involved.....but please lori or goddins email me asap in response to "family" said on 10/21/07 @ 02:35 PM: I'm sorry but I don't think that you know much about your family. Chris did do drugs, he was doing drugs that night. I know for 100% fact. I also know 100% fact that he was deeply deeply involved in drugs in Bend, that's what he was doing here. Unfortunately, I have friends that got way too close to this whole scene. You should probably know your facts before defending. lame said on 04/15/08 @ 10:33 AM: I didnt really know chris but i rode in his sweet benz the night before. i did however know every person in that car REALLY well they are sweet kids. it was an ACCIDENT get over yourselfs people put urself in their shoes what would you do?.........it was REAL WRONG but their good now all clean and taking classes to help them i see them cry close to every night still about a year later loveeeeeee you Eric, Chris......F**ck you Robert battles unknown said on 08/07/08 @ 12:01 PM: I am actually looking for info on current events. Has anything become of the charges against Christopher? I am out of area and do not watch the news.....lil is found anymore online. It is REALLY sad how something can happen to a family and yet be forgotten by everyone else around so quickly. Kim was my cousin. Our families have lost touch over the years, but she was still family. Everyone tossing around blame as to whether she was in the wrong for being on her bike at that time or anything else need to step back and realize that these guys were in the wrong for what happened at that moment and in the HOURS to follow. I read one article that said Christopher had fallen asleep around 5am.......HOW CAN YOU SLEEP AFTER KILLING SOMEONE??? Right........drugs and alcohol!!!! I know it should have been ALOT sooner, but I hope that Kim's family is hanging on and that the kids are ok. Love you guys! Kim's Family said on 08/07/08 @ 01:19 PM: I have an update for you. I am also one of Kim's cousins. unknown said on 08/07/08 @ 02:21 PM: This is "K".....you can call mom for my #. I dont wanna share anything on here. unknown said on 08/07/08 @ 04:41 PM: LOL stupid me.....think outside the box......this is a pretty LARGE family. I created an email JUST for you to contact me. We can exchange personal info there. contactemail2008@yahoo.com Post a comment |
