BREAKING NEWS:

The Historic Von Helding Estate at 10404 Kimbark Avenue in Whittier

Due to the huge interest in this "breaking news" from the 10400 block of Kimbark Avenue in Whittier, (more than 2,000 people have visited my blog during the past couple of hours) I wanted to share this media report from KABC Eyewitness News Reporter Leslie Miller that aired on the 5 p.m. news. 

I also wanted to provide some additional information about that location.

BTW....the location of the incident involved is the famous Von Helding Estate,10404 Kimbark Avenue. 

The Von Helding Estate (this is the "Drawing Room" inside the location) was built in 1923, and was the winter home of the Baron and the Baroness Von Helding.

It is still owned by the family.

It has been used for hundreds of local community events, weddings, birthdays and other ceremonies.

I will keep you posted, I have lots more to share on this matter.  Literally thousands of local community members have visited this historic location.

The website for the estate is located here: http://vonheldingestate.com/

I am going to hold off on publishing the name of those involved, until this incident is completly over.

PLEASE....Check back, I will provide more details as they happen.

Tell me what you think?? Have you been to this historic home before?

I know exactly where this is and the person involved I will not mention his name I will let the media do that. I knew him to be a very kind and decent human being. May God have mercy on his soul

Thank you Randy for not rushing to put the name of the person who is involved. The other reports in the Whittier Daily News and other papers haven't done their homework on this story. Your BLOG is amazing, and the community appreciates your efforts...day in and day out.

This "kind" man was not kind when he used innocent children for his own personal perversions.....yes may God have mercy on his soul..but for those of you who knew him as kind....you did not know really know him.

And for those of you who thought you knew him....let this be a lesson to us all, that we may never know someone as well as we think we do.

Ronald Meade was a weird, creepy man and we knew it the first time we met him over 10 years ago. He was caretaking the home we bought 11 years ago. Apparently, he knew the adult children of the elderly couple that owned the home and they trusted him to caretake the home while it was on the market. They lived out of state and the parents were deceased. Instead of keeping the home in a way that would appeal to buyers, he used it as a storefront. He had tons of furniture, dishes, etc scattered all over the house and had "estate sales" there almost every weekend for over a year. We thought it was very odd and wondered why this was allowed because it prevented buyers from actually "seeing" the house. He even sold parts of the house that didn't belong to him. Fireplace screens, mailbox grill, etc. He was a sociopath,liar and a thief and now we know that he was also a child molester! Good rittens! His name should be listed here and those of you that think he was a kind person better wake up, face the facts and quit living in fantasy land.
