This is to "anonymous"...and the people who keep responding to him/her/it... Here is another "little secret" anonymous left out... Apparently "anonymous" has no life, nor job, or hobby either, except to insert their inane ideas into a blog/comment section to stir up trouble. Please let this be the last time anyone pays any attention to this nut because apparently their life is so dull and insignificant they have nothing better to do. At this point, lets all try to concentrate our energy on helping the family/friends of Jason who need our help and attention the most. Anonymous will need to find some other pasttime to fulfill the day!!! Anonymous will not doubt respond to my comment and my best advice to all of you is to ignore it. I will. We all have plenty of other things to do that are truly more pressing and important, and one of them is to try to do whatever we can to be there for Jason's family. THAT SHOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING RIGHT NOW!!! By the way, if you noticed, I was not afraid to sign my name.

Why berate a person who prefers to remain anonymous? The family has expressed their appreciation of your effort and has asked that you let it go and move on. Having this in front of them everyday might impede the grieving process. They need to heal.

All you people really need to move on. The more this drags on the harder on the family I would think it would be. The paper apologized for posting info on the incorrect Jason Vickers. They were reporting on a homicide investigation, people's criminal activities tend to get discussed when someone is found deceased, in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere in an abandoned house. Those are not the normal circumstances of a death. The sad part about the whole situation is that Mr. Vickers got himself into situations that led to him now not being able to be with his family. Everyone needs to drop it and move on with their own lives and let this family heal from the loss of a loved one. Get off of facebook and quit keeping everyone so stirred up. It's a horrible tragedy, the incorrect facts were reported and an apology went out. Let it be between the paper and the family and all you kilgore nosey bodies butt out!

Thank you Charlotte on behalf of myself and others who care. Really Anonymous should reveal their name and what connection they have with the paper. Us saying Thanks so casual as no big deal.

What does it matter what he did in his past...he is dead and his family members have lost a dad, brother, son, husband and many friends...no one deserves to die the way he did, alone...I will have his families and friends in my thoughts and prayers. I went to school with Jason and he was a wonderful spirit. Very giving, caring and always smiling...Can we just remember him with this spirit and NOT what was printed in the paper...

Finally an apology not really what was expected but I suppose the family and friends of Jason are just going to have to take what they can get..a flake out...but I will state that I read the email from Mr. Woodall. Just to note I have heard Hitler make a better apology. Let me show you how this is done properly. Learn it, note it, remember it for the next time you do this to some family during their loss and grief. To the family and friends of Mr. Jason Vickers, we, the Kilgore News Herald would like to take this moment to personally extend to you our deepest and most heartfelt of sincerest apology for the many errors in the original article written about his unjustly murder. We regret and are shamed by any pain and hurt that this newspaper has caused so many people that loved and who are grieving the loss of their beloved son, husband, father, and friend. We would also like to take a moment to ask the family and friends of Mr. Jason Vickers to forgive us in this error and for our delays in responding to our readers needs over this issue. We assure you that we will do our up most best in making sure nothing of this sort ever happens again to a family during the loss of a loved one.

I do not see the relevance, or the necessity in including a person's past criminal history while reporting their death, regardless of how they died. This was a classless and completely irresponsible move on this paper's part. On top of that, the record you reported was someone elses? The Kilgore News Herald is not Dateline NBC. If I were a member of his family, KNH would most certainly be hearing from an attorney in this matter. Whoever allowed this to be published needs to be held accountable.

An early, on-line story about the murder of Jason Vickers posted at kilgorenewsherald.com Tuesday morning contained incorrect information about Jason Vickers. The early, on-line story included criminal records of both the late Mr. Vickers and a second Jason Vickers. We have reviewed and changed our procedures for gathering information from on-line sources. The News Herald extends its apologies for the error and our condolences to the family of Jason Vickers.

Glad to see someone had enough class to remove the original post online concerning Jason. We are all human and have our faults, as well as our good points. The editor of this two day per week publication needs to more closely monitor what is posted and printed in his newspaper, especially when it concerns the death of someone's loved one and when what is made public subjects a family to this type of humiliation. This has happpened more than once. We are a small community and have no trouble keeping check on each other. Jason your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace my ole fishing buddy, Jeff Nestleroad
