Donnie Godwin

|
Donnie is Kim Godwin's brother and I want to say up front that he has always been very cordial to me in the times that I have spoken with him.
Donnie is one of the more important people in this whole case for a few reasons
First, he was dating Charlotte Royal at the time and he lived in the now infamous 5552 Jackson Street trailer. Belinda Hall told me she saw Donnie at the trailer when she showed up to sell crack to Charlotte.
So Donnie was literally one of the last people on this Earth to see Kent alive.
Indirectly is another story as Donnie was one of the people Kent looked up to.Kent and Donnie were friends since childhood but due to Kent's mental retardation - he was unable to match wits with his friends.
Donnie has told me many times that he loved Kent and I believe him.
The entire Godwin family loved Kent. The thing is - the damn drugs took hold of the Godwin kids and their lives went sideways.
You choose to dive in to the deep end of the drug pool and no doubt about it, trouble is just around the corner. Something happened on March 10th, 2002 and when this case is settled - you can bet your life that the answer lies in the lifestyle of these lowlife drug addicts.
When people like Belinda Hall, Charlotte Royal, Donnie Godwin and Pierre Scurlock got wind that Kent had his paycheck cash in his pocket - the siren call went out and Kent instantly became a target. Kent was 42 years old with the outlook of a young child about eight years old. How many seconds do you think it took for these people to conspire to separate Kent from his paycheck?
Adding the ubiqutous disclaimer: We do not know exactly what happened. I am just giving you our best guess.
Kent's brothers and sisters are all very sharp people. I will just say that on the IQ chart - each one of them would score in the 80 percentile or higher. They are too humble to say it so I will just say it for them.
I point this out because although their hearts are crushed, they still are thinking very clearly. Kent's younger brother Keith has always said from Day One that neither Kim or Donnie is responsible for Kent's disappearance.
He is basing his strong belief on the fact that Donnie and Kim were Kent's friends for about 40 years and in their own drug-confused way - they looked out for Kent.
The problem is drugs and the dealers that the Godwin's associated with.
I don't know that for a fact but it is what I believe.
A few years back (March of 2007) I spoke with Donnie on his front porch and he more or less just stuck to his statements that he loved Kent, had no idea what happened to him and did not care about the reward money. He would go to the cops immediately if he knew anything.
