There is a $10,000. dollar reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction in the Jim Varner murder investigation.
More Info.
I know posting or getting a response is a shot in the dark, but if someone doesn't get scammed by reading this, its all worth it.
Kenneth Varner has a house and apartment in Puerto Vallarta and another place just north. He has a few girl friends and one with his 3year old daughter, so he's comfortable in PV. His last scam he stole $300,000. dollars on a single condo scam in PV. This last year he has also scammed $11,000 dollars in a renovation scam, and $60,000 dollars on a house scam. He has been in prison in Mexico and USA and has outstanding warrants. Varner was close to seeing alot of prison time in Washington before he fled back to Puerto Vallarta. And now it seems difficult to get the local athorities to do anything. The Feds were dragging thier feet on the money laundering and drug case, but back to Varner. He drives a class2 bullet proof ford festiva, a 4 door ford pickup, has a stolen white ford minibus, and other vehicles. He has two 9mm glock hand guns and a 22 cal pen zip gun. Varner is a very articulate smooth talker but with money he is as cold as they come. His father died the day after the insurance company decided that the Varners claim was fraud. Kenneths connection with his fathers murder could not be discussed by( Det Matt Wallace 360 748-1326, Det Bruce Kimsey 360 740-2784) homiside Detectives but even Kenneth Varners family and long time friend M.R. know he's involved. The $60,000. was stolen from the friend who's house he was staying at while in Washington for the year 2006, they are now no longer friends. Varner is caucasian, approximately 6' tall, 200lb, blond to brown hair, blue/green eyes, and is 31 years old. If you do happen to bump in to Varner he is very paranoid, as well he should be, I don't recommend aproaching him but if there is any info that can be reported that may help.
I hope this hasn't been too long, Thanks for reading

If you read the posted links, his facts seem pretty straight.ronald wrote:Good response there WP.. The facts may not be ex zach ly as written.
Zach may actually be Jack, and most likely Jill will post right behind him....
On another note,... I've heard of Woody's before, but never knew that there was an old car that had that title.
Sorry for my lack of manners, let me tell you about Jack
Eer, I mean Zack. It is my registered name, for obvious reasons and reasons I will cover, my identity will be somewhat vague.
When I first posted, I was not really sure that the story would be accepted. Keeping that in mind I compressed and wrote a dry, and maybe sensationalized posting.
Well back to Jack, a three time vacationeer to Mexico, twice to PV. and Loved it. In PV my family and I stayed in a very nice home in Old Town, a few blocks off the beach. The house is three levels with an open rooftop/veranda with a fantastic view of the bay and sunsets.
I work for the State of Washington in one of the affected agencies in the Varner cases. Also my relation to these cases is even more personal. I have Known the Varners and two of the scam victims for about 14 years. My friend, I'll call him Nuel, lost about $60,000USD in a house scam and checks from Kenneth Varner. Nuel, Ken Varner and I Met and worked together at the Bon Marce about 14 years ago. Varner was 16 at the time and a pretty good kid. We had no clue he had gone bad, Varner had been in PV for 5 years, 2000-2005.
About my friend Nuel, he is disabled with Myasthenia Gravis, a progressive auto-immune disease. He can't work and is on Social Security. At home he has a loving wife and child, they have been thru hell but are truely amazing people. His wife does not work, she stays home and takes care of Nuel and their daughter(junior in high school 3.96gpa and taking college courses. Ken Varner stayed at Nuel's home for the year 2006, as he had in the past. On the link, that is Nuel's home and trucks in the video (the stolen wht minibus is Nuel's). Being disabled, Nuel was an easy target for Varner (but very cold hearted). Nuel is a good generous man that would do anything for a friend. That is why I am compelled to do what I can for him in his stead. And as for Kenneth Varner he needs to be behind bars or !*@#>"*!#, sorry I digress.
The surviving Varners have also suffered alot: the wife, Ken's stepmom, a kind devout christian; the daughter, sweet college student; and son disabled military as the father. The Late Jim Varner also needed help, but not what Ken did.
Now more about Jill, I have all sorts of info that is not normally known and now you know why: size 9 shoes, contacts (glasses rarely), never any hats in public(messes his hair), dresses nice, usually a wht button down long slieved w/slacks, in public sits with his back to the wall (and now we know why),has had boxing, carries a steel pen for a weapon and I can go on and on but,
Its time for me to go.
My motives as stated before: if this helps someone else not get scammed/hurt, but can't help but be somewhat vendictive. Beating a man when he's down goes against my grain. I hope this clears up some questions. If you want to contact LCPD Det. Bruce Kimsey (360)740-2784 he can verify the obvious and about Nuel. And again THANKS
