The first two-thirds of Gregg Wayne Joplin’s testimony at the grand jury investigation into the murders of his entire family and friend Terry Trice were riddled with inconsistencies and, seemingly, impossibilities. The final hour or so was no different. After he was dismissed, Terry Trice’s close friend Valdemar Gomez Junior took the stand. It’s unclear if the teenager was nervous or simply could not recall details well, but his testimony, too, contradicted the testimony of others and even his own. In the end, grand jurors were unable to suggest an indictment or even provide many answers. The case, from that point on, was unofficially concluded.
