Authorities on Tuesday released the name of the man found dead in the Mission Creek Slough last week. James Wesley Naylor, 55, was spotted by a transient at around 7:30 a.m. on Friday, and it appeared he had been in the water for at least 1-3 days, said police spokesperson Sgt. Riley Harwood. Naylor, also believed to be homeless, was removed from the slough and the case was handed over to the coroner’s office for an autopsy and toxicology report. Authorities so far do not suspect foul play, said Harwood.

Peter & Mona Branagh July 14, 2012
Peter and Mona Branagh
Peter and Mona (York) Branagh Resident of Lafayette, CA Peter and
Mona (York) Branagh, proud parents, loving grandparents, faithful
brother and sister, devoted children, amazing friends and
community-minded developers and designers died Saturday, July 14,
2012. Raised in Piedmont and Oakland, Peter (59) and Mona (57) had
been residents of the Lamorinda area since 1983. They were an
inseparable and irrepressible couple whose laughter, infectious
smiles, youthful joy, and zany humor and unbounded energy flowed
through each moment of their lives, beginning when they first
met while in high school at an Oakland church youth group ski trip.
Peter was handsome and athletic. Mona was a vivacious beauty. Their
unselfconscious warmth and humility attracted those they met
throughout their lives. Everyone was included in their circle of
friendship and generosity. Whether as college students on campus at
Chico State, sharing their faith while on staff with Campus Crusade
for Christ, raising remarkable children, building on the legacy of a
family construction business or escaping with family and friends
to their beloved Aspen they seemed to head in all directions,
full speed, all at once. With their unique energy and enthusiasm,
Peter and Mona's businesses, Branagh Development and Pacific Bay
Interiors, enriched families and beautified communities. They were a
true team whose creative, aesthetic vision and personal values made
them trusted business partners and colleagues. Work was an extension
of their faith and joy in helping others. Mona loved her children,
treasured spending time with them and often said she felt blessed to
have them. She also cherished her relationships with the high-school
girls whom she mentored over the years, providing support and
encouragement in the context of a caring faith that she knew could
make a profound difference when life's challenges came along. She felt
that God was "carrying her" at a time when she battled a brain tumor.
Her style, panache and hospitality were a vital part of Branagh family
traditions and celebrations. A whirlwind who could turn any event into
a party, Mona loved to be where the action was, not wanting to miss
out. She was a come-one, come-all person who was caring, selfless,
generous and believed that anything was possible. Peter thought
constantly about what it meant to be Christian in a changing world and
loved to stir the pot with provocative questions about religion or
politics. His sense of humor and love of people enabled him to make
friends with everybody at Starbucks, on a shuttle to a ski lift, in a
shop, anywhere. He had a gift for connecting asking rapid-fire
questions about other's lives and interests. His boundless energy
propelled him down the basketball court or the Big Burn at Snowmass,
to take on new projects and investments or to become a pilot. Peter's
glass was overflowing. There was no escaping his waggling hands,
humorous story or in-your-face grin. The youngest of the Branagh boys,
he made everything fun, but was often the one who, no matter what the
situation, gave his older brothers confidence that any challenge could
be overcome. He was a natural born cheerleader, had a plan for
everyone and was always encouraging. Peter and Mona would be the first
to say, however, that investing their love and time in their children,
grandchildren, family and friends is what truly mattered. Their legacy
is three children in whose lives their bright eyes, intensity, warmth,
faith and fun-loving hearts carry on: Matt with his wife Katie and
Beatrice, 2, and another on the way; Michael with his wife Jen and
Brody, 3, Sophia, 2, and Bradley, 1 month; and Kathleen with her
husband Alex. They also leave behind Peter's mother, Nat, and Mona's
mother, Cecilia; Mona's brothers, David with his wife Ellen, and
Michael; Peter's brothers, Tom, with his wife Diane and their
children, Nicole, John, and Denise; and Bill with his wife Nancy and
their children, Geoff and Tommy. Peter and Mona were an amazing team
whose practical, generous faith and sincere trust in God was a
constant touch point that guided their love of family, passionate work
and enabled them to embrace friends, colleagues and casual
acquaintances alike. Memorial gifts in Peter and Mona Branagh's honor
can be sent to CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) www.cru.org/give or ICM

CHICO >> Police have concluded the death of a
20-year-old Chico State University student in Monday's train accident
was a suicide, authorities said today.
A joint investigation between Chico Police Department, Butte County
Sheriff's Office and Union Pacific Railroad have ruled Samantha M.
Lewis' death was intentional when she was struck by a southbound train
at 5:19 a.m. Monday while walking south between the rails of the
railroad tracks, said Chico police Lt. Dave Britt. The incident
occurred near the bike path that runs from the 500 block of Nord
Avenue toward the tennis courts on the Chico State campus.
The train was moving at 49 mph when the conductor saw Lewis on the
tracks, activated his horns and put the train into the emergency
braking process. He told investigators she made no attempt to avoid
the train, police said.
Lewis, who is originally from Clayton, was majoring in nutrition and
food sciences, according to her Facebook profile.
Chico State's Counseling and Wellness Center is available at 898-6345

Ex-Cop Testifies He Watched Colleague Shoot Kidnap Victim
Erin Hallissy, Chronicle East Bay Bureau
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, March 15, 1995
George Elzie, testifying in Contra Costa Superior Court under a grant of immunity, said that
defendant
Eric Bergen, a former friend and colleague, fired a round from a sawed-off shotgun into the
body of
Cynthia Kempf, 28, as she lay bound and gagged in a remote field in Brentwood. Kempf had
already been shot more than a dozen times by two other men -- Mario Salguero and Bergen's
brother, Carl -- after an aborted robbery at the Pittsburg Safeway, Elzie testified. Although he had no financial problems, Elzie said, he took part in the crime out of greed -- he had been promised one-fourth, about $5,000, of the
anticipated take. In exchange for immunity from prosecution on murder charges, Elzie has agreed to plead guilty to charges of kidnapping, attempted kidnapping and of using a weapon, said his attorney, Bill Gagen. Elzie, 36, now in custody at Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez, will be sentenced to 12 years and four months in prison when Bergen's trial is over. Elzie was a popular officer who grew up in Pittsburg and was considered a role
model for youths in the community. He was fired last year after a grand jury indicted him on charges of murdering Kempf. Also indicted was Bergen, 35, who has been in state prison since 1990, when he was convicted of a Sacramento robbery.
Bergen had been a SWAT officer in Pittsburg until he resigned in June 1988 -- three months after Kempf's slaying -- amid an unrelated investigation into police brutality. Bergen, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, kidnap for robbery and conspiracy, had been the target of investigators since 1988, when ballistics tests matched one of nine bullets fired into Kempf's back with a 9mm gun found in Bergen's apartment. However, prosecutors did not have enough evidence to try him until Salguero agreed last year to testify against him.
Bergen's younger brother, Carl, also agreed to testify. Elzie, wearing yellow jail clothes and guarded by a deputy sitting behind him, said yesterday that the group planned to kidnap Kempf and force her to open the safe at the Pittsburg Safeway on March 14, 1988. The plan was ditched after they saw a police car patrolling the parking lot, and the woman was driven to a field where she was killed so she could not identify them. Elzie testified that he had never told anyone, including his wife, about his role until he confessed to investigators early this year while awaiting trial. "It was very hard initially to start talking about it," he said, "That's a secret that I held for six years that nobody knew."

The Improbable Baloney Suicide
The Contra Costa County Coroner determined that an inmate died from eating a baloney sandwich. So why didn't they call the FDA or USDA to see if the inmates are getting bacteria laced baloney or did they analyze the baloney on the floor to see if it matched the baloney in his stomach or compare the digestive state of the baloney to the baloney on the floor as perhaps the baloney never made it to his stomach? Did actually chew the baloney or just choke on it?
