Sister Of Curtis Allgier, Melissa Keith Emails Passionate America

I received an email yesterday from a Melissa Keith, she claims to be the sister of Curtis Allgier. Melissa says, that Curtis Allgier’s father has read the two posts here at Passionate America about Curtis. Here are the two previous posts about Curtis Allgier:
- How To Be A Better Parent, Don’t Raise A Curtis Allgier
- Monetize Your Face - Useful Advice For Curtis Allgier
Below is the email I received from Curtis Allgier’s sister Melissa Keith :
Email from Melissa Keith sister of Curtis Allgier
Just wanted to say…my dad found your blog and is just devastated by it all. I 100% get how people see this and feel what they feel. However there’s a lot of background people don’t realize.
This family has their share of ups and downs just like any other family. But they went to church, were in sports as kids, did family vacations and everything else. Curtis got married had two beautiful kids and had a normal life. He hit a bad patch and stole a check for $300. He went to prison. He had to join a gang to survive and hated that, but had to. If you look it up even Tom Patterson Director of Utah Corrections ADMITS that Curtis was a non violent offender that had NO ties with gangs until he went to Prison. He tried to get out of the gang afterwards and that didn’t settle well and they went after him. In order to not die he had to prove to them he was a die hard White Supremacist and so on came the tattoos and on came all these beliefs as wrong as they are.
We will forever have people that don’t know the whole story blame us and ridicule us for his mistakes.
Whatever happened to make him snap and take this man’s life I have no idea…and frankly it sickens me. I and my family are devastated. Watch SLC ABC4 and listen to the interview…we all have normal everyday lives and are productive members of society. His two children will forever have to suffer for his choices. We will forever have people that don’t know the whole story blame us and ridicule us for his mistakes. But guess what it’s not our fault.
We are all completely distraught since Monday. Again I get your point and your views it’s a free country. However your friend is right, I’m not telling you to eat the crow but I am telling you that albeit we’re not perfect this isn’t how our family was raised and none of us agree at all with what he did. Just take that into consideration…thanks I know all of this because I am his sister. Can’t change that, but I am.
I watched the video where Curtis Allgier explains his actions, I have to say I do not believe Curtis when he claims the gun went of all by itself. I understand that he had many problems, however I do not believe any of his problems are an excuse for what he did.
After reading Melissa’s letter I realized I may have been to hasty in placing blame on the parents of Curtis Allgier. I do not know his parents and cannot verify if what Melissa says about them is accurate, however I should not have been so quick to place blame on them. Curtis is a grown man and is responsible for his own actions. I feel compassion for what Curtis Allgier’s family is going through and I apologize for my characterization of them as bad parents.

I agree Tim.

I think the extremity of the tattooing is a whole lot of over-kill if all Curtis was trying to do was prove he was loyal to the White Supremacists. I think he really, whole-heartedly believes in that doctrine, which is no doubt what brings such heart-ache to his family. I don’t blame them - after all, he’s a grown man - but I don’t believe Melissa’s implication that he tattoed himself in self-defense.
To her credit, I find it quite intriguing that his sister emailed you - that took guts.
June 28th, 2007 at 12:06 pmRT
Those aren’t prison tattoos.
I feel bad for his family, always do with any criminal that commits a heinous act.
I’ll reserve the rest of my comments, but I’ve had training in gangs (all gangs) and gang behavior.
June 28th, 2007 at 12:25 pmWild Bill
Readhead Infidel, I was very impress with Melissa’s courage in emailing me. I made some poor comments in a previous post about Curtis’s parents and Melissa could have called me names and personally attacked me but she did not.
RT I don’t think most of the tattoos on his face are prison tattoos either.
June 28th, 2007 at 12:50 pmMelissa Keith
RT:
June 28th, 2007 at 1:22 pmIn the beginning he got a FEW tattoos on his chest and back that were to prove he was trying to join the gang for self defense. This last year and a half is when the tattoos got WAY out of hand. So I agree that now it’s not self defense that he took this to such an extreme that I can’t think of a word to match. I’m in no way condoning what he’s done, I’m not sticking up for him for what he just did, all I’m doing on here is saying he wasn’t always this way until prison and that our family isn’t this way. Thanks it has taken courage, but I’m sitting here helpless and can’t do anything and if this is all I can do to say that we aren’t like that so be it. He has two small children whom I just saw, they are beautiful and innocent and one day they’ll read all this so that’s partly why I feel I have to speak. Wild Bill it does me no good to call you names and attack you…again I’m not like that…I know you wrote your opinion based on what info you had and now that you have more info you changed your opinion so no hard feelings…take care…

Perhaps we need to reconsider if our prisons are for punishing/rehabilitating offenders or breeding grounds for hardcore criminals
June 28th, 2007 at 2:13 pmRT
Maybe we need to evaluate why the little societies that sprout up in jail are allowed to fester (*cough* ACLU). Makes one wonder who is really in control of the prisons. I often cringe when I see the South American jails that are run by the inmates (administrators answer to them). I don’t think we are so different in some ways. Yes, we have to protect human rights, but how does allowing the predatory manner of prisons to exist allow for human rights?
Obviously, there are issues here and Curtis committed a heinous act. Unfortunately, he found something that the gang offered that kept his attention. I thank his sister for her articulate and understanding manner and hope his parents find comfort through the rest of the family.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:10 pmJeff
To me, his eyes look more sad than mad.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:52 pmLiz
I don’t know this man but I do know one thing, he still has a chance of forgiveness. I’m hoping that others like myself will pray for his repentance and salvation. My heart is burdened for Curtis. None of us are good, not one bit. But we all have a chance of forgiveness. Christ didn’t die for nothing. He died for each and every one of our sins, including Curtis’.
June 28th, 2007 at 8:31 pmRT
I just prayed for him. Thank you for the much needed reminder.
June 28th, 2007 at 11:20 pmDouglas V. Gibbs
My son was in a bad way for years. I am a church-going Christian, conservative, and have always done what I know how to be there as a father for my children. Around 15 my son began to head in a very bad direction. We prayed, we set limitations, and we demanded he follow a certain set of rules devised to keep my own household safe from his poor choices. It all climaxed when he was 19 when a confrontation ensued and we physically fought twice - He was out on his heels. He lived on the streets for nearly a year. Finally, against my wishes, his mother let him back in. The problems continued until earlier this year when he was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. Despite our rough past, to his confusion to say the least, I put all of my love and prayers into him and helped him through the ordeal. After having surgery to remove the cancer, he discovered his girlfriend is pregnant. With having a brush with death in the guise of cancer, and a child on the way, the angry-rebellion has lifted, and he has returned to who he was before the idiot crap took him over. Some people, for some reason, take a bad turn - after a dozen tattooes (one with praying hands with the middle fingers pointing upward as the other fingers are folded), and a rocky road with us, my son found his way back to the foundation we layed for him. There is always hope - and Curtis may find his way back. . .especially if his family layed a strong foundation as his sister indicates.

witch - There is no question that our prisons tend to breed hardcore criminals. It also teaches some people the lesson they really needed to learn.
June 29th, 2007 at 9:38 pmRT - Curtis’s sister Melissa has really impressed me with the way she has handled this situation and how she responded to my thoughtless comments.
Jeff - Yep.
Liz - Thanks for teaching us forgiveness, however forgiveness does not bring Curtis’s victim back to life. It can help the family coop with the feelings they are dealing with, and in that case it is very helpful.
Douglas V. Gibbs - Thanks for the hopeful story.
Liz
My whole point in this is that we can’t rely on ourselves as parents to make a child right. Once that child is conceived, God has control of that child’s life. Yes, as parents, we have the responsibility to rear that child in a way honoring to God but ultimately it is God who is in charge. Many times, in my own family, I’ve seen children brought up in completely wrong households and have hit rock bottom in order for God to be the one to bring them out of it. Parents can’t blame themselves for the righteous or unrighteousness of adult children.

RT: I definitely think those are prison tattoos. you’d be surprised the kind of stuff and art work they can do in prison. they have years or the rest of their lives. I agree with all of yall that melissa has guts, and you can never throw the blame on outside sources unless you know the facts.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:00 pmBrad
I know Curtis very well-we grew up together. No he was not this way before prison but I feel that no matter how many tattoos he has, he is still the thoughfull person i grew up with and call my brother today.
October 1st, 2007 at 7:23 amballin
erm… they guys was a douche tbh, i got no love for dicks like curtis
November 20th, 2007 at 7:01 amAlex
Look, he killed that cop. Bottom line. He is a scumbag. No sympathy. Save it for the Cops family. He will rot in prison.

Yeah yeah justin you hate cops but if you will call 911 if someone breaks in to your moms house.

wow… am i the only one who sees a soul beyond the details printed on skin?? this is a human… unlike anyone else… how many of us were so frustrated….so angry… so disappointed in life that we wished we could do something as drastic…. a simple fix-it ticket that at the time was to much for me to deal with lead to situations i thought i could never pull myself out of… i did not bother reading much of the issue at hand… only peoples willingness to judge.. and it hurt me… lay off… put your self in his shoes and ask yourself what you would hope for… having no voice… just a face… that on the outside(skin) voices things most people are to afraid to voice…. he still has feelings… things nobody has the patience to listen to… he needs love…. an ear… a shoulder to lean on…. why dont all of you get a life and stop interfering in things you have no idea about…. ~ much love for the missunderstood…..miette~~

HE Killed a cop. Time to feel sorry for him is over. We all have to deal with bills, life, divorce etc. Fell sorry for the family of the slain cop his children. Feel sorry for the killers family if you want to but not him he killed that cop. No sorrow for him and no excuse.
January 7th, 2008 at 5:51 amalex
Yes thats right feel sympathy for the cop and his family. What is wrong with you saying “he knew the possibilities” are you that warped and stuck on defending this trash that you really think that way? Its ok to write off killers of innocents. Its ok to not feel sympathy for murderers. What if your closest dearest family member is murdered, would you feel the same way? Screw this trash.
January 9th, 2008 at 2:36 pmDavid Saldez
look i know he did alot of big mistakes in his life i feel bad for his family and for him too, but at the same time its not an excuse to kill somebody, the only thing i know is that only god can judge us……..
January 11th, 2008 at 3:38 pmdrake
I just saw Curtis on MSNBC’s Lockup and he presents a very different account. He claims that his entire family, notably his father, uncle and cousins, are white supremacists. He is also quite presistant in saying that he isn’t in a gang and rejects them. He is simply very proud to be a supremacist, and as his profession is tattooing that’s where he go all that work. He is quite proud of them, it doesn’t seem like he was forced to get them. If he was afraid he wouldn’t be dissing the gangs in the first place. I dunno, I’m just know what he says runs counter to the email that someone claiming to be a relative sent.
February 2nd, 2008 at 2:25 amalex
He will got where he belongs, in prison.
February 2nd, 2008 at 8:06 amalex
He will rot where he belongs, in prison.
February 2nd, 2008 at 8:06 amnick
I was going to post exactly what drake said. sounds fishy. does anybody know if the guard was a minority?
February 20th, 2008 at 3:46 pmMelissa
Drake,
February 22nd, 2008 at 2:59 amSo you’re going to believe a man that killed a cop over his sister (me) who has never so much as gotten a speeding ticket?! I actually have letters as recent as a year ago of him saying he knows that we don’t choose his lifestyle or beliefs but to accept him anyways. I also have a picture of him with Kirby Puckett, if dad was that way WHY would he allow his child to take a picture with an African American?!!?!? Ummm he wouldn’t…I NEVER once said that I condoned what he did in any way. All I said was that our family wasn’t the way that Curtis is. I’m not quite sure how you’d like me to prove I’m his relative…could provide pics and his handwriting but how would you know the difference?! Do you honestly think someone would claim to be his family after all the hate mail and threats we’ve gotten if it weren’t true. NO it’s not an easy thing to admit, but I also am trying to protect everyone else that is part of the Allgier family name, especially our dad and his two children! Again, why would you trust him?!?!
And Nick, no he was a white man…and to this day not a day goes by that I don’t think about him and pray for his family.
Sadly Curtis’s trial has been postponed…so now the Anderson family must wait even longer for justice. Tracy thanks for your kind words.
I haven’t looked at any of this in quite awhile. I was finally starting to sleep again after about 5 months of not sleeping. But due to his court hearing being postponed when it should’ve happened today I decided to look again.
He deserves to be punished in whatever way the court/jury deems him to be punished; we will NEVER be okay with what he did, but don’t come on here and act like we do or act like I’m making up being related to him; trust me that is the last thing in the world I would make up!
Melissa
Let me make one thing clear for all of his buddies that like to print off what I wrote and give it to him. He keeps saying that I am making him look bad. I don’t know how saying our family wasn’t that way makes him look bad. If he had those beliefs before prison, he never shared it with us. How would I know if he never said it or acted on it?! Secondly JUST because I’m trying to protect his children from all of this doesn’t mean I don’t love him or care what happens to him. I don’t condone it and I think he made poor choices. But make no mistake that he is still my brother. All I wanted for him was to get out of prison and try to have a better life and be there for his two kids. Sadly due to other people, circumstances and then his choices regarding all that made him be where he is today. This all makes me sad, upset, hurt, scared, angry, compassionate, worried, every emotion one can go through. Do I think that he deserves to be punished, yes because that’s how life works. My kids are 6 1/2 & 9 and they know that they are responsible for their actions and if they do something wrong there is a consequence. But at the same time it kills me that this is all happening and I’m a human being, so of course I’m devastated for the Anderson family and wish I could change it all. But you people need to quit telling him that I’m out to get him, I didn’t set him up, I didn’t do what he did; he did. I’m trying to protect his kids because guess what he’s not out here able to do that himself. He’s always told me to watch out for those two sweet children and that’s what I’m doing. So why don’t you print this off and give it to him?! Oh but you won’t ’cause God forbid you give him the whole story, right?!?!
February 22nd, 2008 at 2:27 pmalex
Melissa, I know this may be hard but let this go and don’t keep responding to this website. Concentrate on your kids and rise above this situation and put your brother out of your mind, he will serve life in prison just move on act like he is dead because he essentially is. Don’t focus on this because you need to move on. It will tear you up otherwise. Good luck.
February 23rd, 2008 at 1:22 pmMelissa
Alex,
February 27th, 2008 at 1:42 amSo I shouldn’t keep responding??…but you’ve seem to put quite a number of comments on here?!?! I respond especially with my last comment, ’cause we’re being threatened by his “people”…You’ve made several comments I think I have just as much right to make comments and protect my family and Curtis’ kids! I’m not stupid I know where he’s going to end up in all of this…the only way I’ve gotten through this is to be able to respond…sitting around doing NOTHING isn’t helping…so as long as you can say what you want, so can I. By the way, I do concentrate on my kids as well as his kids…my life is WAY different than his but doesn’t mean I’m going to let people trash our entire family just because of his choices.
Jason
Melissa, I have infinite respect for you and your family’s struggle. Anybody who disrespects Curtis solely based on his appearance or beliefs is disgusting, in my opinion. A person can never be rightfully judged without personal contact. If the people responding on this board sat down and had a conversation with Curtis and judged him from that, I would respect their decisions. Unfortunately, they are not willing to give him that chance. There is no doubt in my mind that your brother is a good person who has made bad decisions. Mistakes are only human, and I honestly feel that the prison system is partially at fault for the Correctional Officer’s death. After all, Curtis went into prison as a small time thief. He did not become a killer until the pressures of prison life truly got to him, and that is a tragedy in itself. Just as Curtis took a man’s life, America’s inadequate prison system has taken his. Melissa, I wish you the best of luck and I will do whatever is necessary in the defense of your brother.
February 29th, 2008 at 11:26 amalex
Did you mean comrade? Not “comrad” you backwards idiot. Look this looser killed a cop and had racist tattoos all over his face! what a clown! Why are you people crying about the fact that you think he is a good person who made bad decisions? Hes a bad person! can’t you get it? Damn! He escaped and killed a cop bottom line, don’t blame prison or any one else. It was him he will rot where he should What is wrong with you people? If you go with your theory then everyone is good and they just make bad decisions. No! Some people are bad! Don’t you get it?
March 1st, 2008 at 9:04 amMelissa
Jason I agree with you that he went in as a small time thief ($300 to be exact) and went through the system and ended up committing the most unthinkable crime. Hmmm…doesn’t add up huh?!? I see both sides to this unlike a lot of people on here, are one sided. I think that the prison system is messed up. There should be counseling, job training, anger management, etc…unfortunately those things cost money so they don’t happen. I think that you put a bunch of criminals in there to wait out there time with no “tools” when they get out and all that happens is they get worse and end up back in (most of them). Even the director of the Prison Tom Patterson says it’s a breeding ground for gangs. I think that had they had some things that could help them when they returned to the outside world, maybe they’d better themselves. Just a thought…I also think that it’s a shame that many of these guys in order to stay safe and not get their asses kicked, or raped in the showers they have to choose a gang to be a part of in order to “survive”…which is exactly what happened to Curtis. Sadly it consumed him and each time he got out, and back in he got more involved. I do think that the Prisons have a certain responsibility to these guys to keep them safe and not allow this to happen, again though takes money that they don’t have. Having said that, he still could have chosen to be and do better when he got out. We all make our own choices and need to be accountable to that. Not that I would condone this in any way AT ALL, but it would’ve been a better alternative…he could’ve knocked the guy down, or kicked his shin or something and left, not shoot him twice. Again that would still be WRONG, but at least Mr. Anderson would still be alive for his family. I appreciate your respect towards us, Jason. But I’m not stupid and I do get why they feel how they do about Curtis, to a point. Yes he used to be a good guy, but obviously that changed…it’s sad for him, his kids, my family, the Anderson family…it doesn’t matter who’s to blame, it happened and sadly there’s nothing we can do to change it.
March 3rd, 2008 at 1:59 pmMelissa
Wow Alex, telling me to quit posting even though I’m related to him and have more reason to be on here than you do; yet you keep posting…why are you so into this?! This will be with me forever; yet you seem to having nothing better to do…you have more posts than anyone else on here…
March 3rd, 2008 at 2:05 pmAlex
Just throwing water on the fires of excuses being set for this cop killer.

March 5th, 2008 at 7:12 pmSue - Pa
I have to say , i just listened to the audio tape of curtis’ explanation of events of that tragic day and i am sickened , through the whole thing he is like a small child saying “it wasnt me , it wasnt my fault ” . if anyone on here knew me personally they would know i am an open book , as laid back as they get and always fight for the underdog , but sorry this bull about a good guy making bad decisions is outrageous ! this does not mean i blame his family at all , even jeffrey dahmer , ted bundy had a family , they are not responsible for his actions but neither is prison , gangs , tatoos , etc . In the end he will have to answer to alot higher judge than the judicial system. Lets not excuse this behavior for any reason . I honestly feel sorry for his family to have to deal with this tragic series of events however Curtis will never have my sympathy . Life is hard , not fair and sometimes downright cruel but one can never ever take someones life
April 6th, 2008 at 6:02 pmConcerned with knowledge
Sorry to have to disagree with his sister but he did NOT have to join a gang to survive. He CHOSE to do that. There are a large Number who choose not to and get along just fine. There are things in place to keep him from harm if they were after him. He CHOSE not to avail himself of those options.
Its true that the family is not to blame but PLEASE dont try to excuse his actions by saying he had no choice.
April 30th, 2008 at 12:25 pmMelissa
Concerned with Knowledge, I agree with Chris have you ever been to prison?! Not jail, prison!? Have you ever watched MSNBC’s Lockup? That’s basically what they talk about is how men survive in there and guess what most of them are in gangs to get through it. I DID NOT excuse his action of killing a man because he had to join a gang, I’m saying the reason he’s a white supremacist, two different things, buddy!
May 1st, 2008 at 9:32 pmMelissa
oh and most prisons do very little to protect those guys in there…most prisons don’t give these guys any sort of tools to use in the real world, they only learn to be worse than when they first went in. Yes, some come out better, but very few and most end up back in. Maybe you shouldn’t use your screen name having the word knowledge in it…
May 1st, 2008 at 9:36 pmMelissa
Emily,
May 1st, 2008 at 9:40 pmThe blogger actually apologized for a lot of his statements and since then has been nothing but kind to me…I don’t know why I bother saying anything on these blogs truthfully because most of you twist what is said and act like we’re justifying things or defending his actions on 6/25/07 you people should really read the whole thing before you make comments…
alex
Wow, look at the scum comming out from under thier rocks. What dirtbags you “white power” idiots are.
May 14th, 2008 at 6:35 pmBuddha
im from australia, i was reading your articles on curtis allgier. Wild Bill made the comment insinuating that anybody with their face tattooed was in some way destine finish up like curtis allgier. thats a complete crock of shit! I’m heavily tattooed, in an out-law motorcycle club, im 57 years old, never been to jail in my life, thats not to say that ive been an angel, but maybe a bit smarter than some. I have a tattooed head and im about to tattoo my face. Some people are in to the art of tattoo for tattoo sake. if you dont understand it, thats okay, you dont have to. But dont draw a bead on those of us who choose to do so, just like i wouldnt be so quick to draw a conclusion on why curtis allgier turned out the way he did. i’ve plenty of friends that have been to prison and you might be very suprised what you have to do to survive in such an environment, just as chris wrote. Im not into race hatred and all that crap but i do wonder how far i’d go to survive. and all you people praying for him, forget about it! if there was a god this wouldnt have happened in the first place, the only good that prayer does is to those doing the praying and people have to start realising they have to rely on their own inner strengths to help them, that includes curtis. My sympathy goes to his family.
May 23rd, 2008 at 5:48 amBuddha
i was wondering who was killed, a prison guard or a police officer. if it was a prison guard, i dont know what your guards are like, but over here, some of them are people that couldnt get a job as a parking cop and sometimes not much better than the prisoners, but i can still sympathise with his family.
