Three Rivers Family Offering $$ to Recover Stolen Goods

Three Rivers Family Offering $$ to Recover Stolen Goods

A Three Rivers family is offering a cash reward for up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest or conviction of suspects, or for the return of their stolen property.

The family lost a Ford pick-up truck, a horse trailer and tack, motorcycles, firearms, and several family heirlooms, said Rocky Pipkin, of Pipkin Detective Agency, which has been hired by the family to support the investigation efforts under way by the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office.

“This was a very slick operation, with no forced entry,” Pipkin said. “The thieves made off with a huge amount of property – right down to the meat in the freezer.”

All inquiries and information will be kept confidential.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Special Agent Mike Huddleston, 559-772-9853, or the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office, 559-733-6218.

Brittany Wilkinson UMDF Fundraising Dinner

Brittany Wilkinson UMDF Fundraising Dinner

 

This Saturday is the  8th annual Britanny Wilkinson United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF) Fundraising Dinner. (KMPH FOX 26 Great Day's Kim Stephens is the night's MC.)

All are invited to this evening at Break the Barriers at 6pm. Tickets are $25 each. There is always an amazing raffle, beautiful silent auction, delicious dinner and special program learning about Brittany and the disease she lived with - a disease few still know about but 1 in every 200 people has a genetic mutation that may lead to mitochondrial disease. 

Mitochondria are in all our bodies, in our cells giving us energy. For those living with mitochondrial disease, which is genetic, that mitochondria doesn’t work right affecting the body in very painful ways.

Clovis East graduate, Brittany Wilkinson lived with this all her 18 years. Amidst her migraines and other debilitating pain, she gracefully raised awareness and funds for others living with this disease.
