Must be the same Dan Martinez who lives in that Adobe house on the corner of capriastono way who was going around trying to scare people in big river probably with same guns about a pit bull of his that came up missing back in mid summer of 2018. Drake was the dog’s name. Karma…. Without bail. You get what’s coming when you go around all amp up on meth trying to be a vilgante.

    Dan Martinez. Hahahahah you piece of shit. I’m surprised your not being questioned in the disappearence of carl cook. All you fucktards meth users who were hunting people down over your stupid dog should be questioned.

  6. Swirven, I hope he is questioned along with all the other bullies that Carl was writing about on his Facebook page shortly before his horrible murder. We have not been told exactly what happened to poor Carl. It sickens me that someone would even go out of their way to harm such a helpless harmless person like Carl. Just goes to show what pussy’s some of those guys are. Picking on a guy that can’t defend himself. Ge-ood! Icky!
