“We are devastated by the senseless loss of our beloved, Border Collie, Stark. We hope that justice will be served. He was our baby and my family is absolutely devastated by his senseless killing. He was truly a light in our life and we miss him every second. He did not deserve this. We hope justice will be served. #JusticeforStark”

From Stafford sheriff’s office:
September 20, 2016 at approximately 7:00 p.m. Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a water rescue call at Hidden Lake Subdivision in the western portion of Stafford County.
Dee Vanterpool moved to her Manassas townhouse in 1992. A quaint townhouse facing the community pool, it is well-kept and Dee is content there. Dee retired from the Federal Government where she had worked at the Pentagon in Logistics as a General Supply Specialist. Today she lives quietly, enjoying her church in Burke, Virginia, playing Solitaire, watching Christian TV and walking at the mall. Her son lives in New Jersey. Her daughter and sisters all passed away in the last five years. Dee has suffered from arthritis since childhood and has experienced significant illnesses in her adult life so she could use Habitat’s assistance to correct some minor home issues.
Habitat for Humanity will relocate a bathroom vent that discharges improperly into the attic, rebuild a fence gate and strengthen its posts and paint the exterior trim on the front entry door. We’re looking forward to giving this deserving resident a hand up with home preservation services that will make her home safer and more secure.
