Overdose victim's body allegedly dropped near dumpster

T. Calderone,
I am actually writing a book about this case. The mother, Robin Denig, actually worked for the Dollar General Store and she was eventually arrested. Zachary Shipp and Kaleigh Denig were arrested for Concealing the Death of Another, but Robin was arrested for that and the added charge of Reckless Conduct. The friend that helped, Garry Stimphil (you will not find his name in any of the stories, you have to actually obtain a copy of the police report to get his name) is a co-worker of Robin's at the Dollar General Store. Yes, the synopsis above does leave a lot of holes and if you read any other reports on the case, you find just as many holes. The whole night doesn't make any sense. Garry should also be charged and the police report even says that he was arrested, but I am here to tell you, he never was arrested and he won't be. He has been deemed a "Confidential Informant", therefore, he will not be arrested as long as he testifies against the others in the case.
 
Charging and convicting anyone involved with this will only ensure that it happens again and again and again.

The only fruitful step for authorities to take in situations like this is to pass and promote 911 immunity laws.
 
I know that this is an old post, but I joined this website just so I could comment on it. I found it doing a google search for Robin.
First of all, Robin Denig has been charged in this case. She's awaiting sentencing as of now.


I just wanted to clear the air on a few things. Topper was my best friend for almost 13 years. He was not some junkie that deserved to be left next to a dumpster. He was one of the coolest guys you'd ever meet. He didn't really have a drug problem. He liked to party and he did use. He'd done meth the day prior to his overdose and wanted to crash. Zack had been selling heroin and he'd been strung out for quite awhile. I've known them both for years, even Kaleigh. Not being used to the heroin, his dose was too much. They all did a really stupid thing, but Topper was not a bad person. We grew up together and always took care of one another. He bought me food when I was broke. I gave him rides all over town. We were inseparable for many years. He was my family. There were many times that he did things to help people. He bought baby formula for a baby of one of his friends. He used to buy clothes, shoes and the like for his friends who had children. He always made you laugh when you were upset and he always made you feel included. There was an air about Topper that you'd never forget had you met him. I just wanted to say that this was not some junkie who stole from people like Zack did. Topper loaned me money on the spot without asking questions. He was always welcome in my home and he always had my back. Just as I always had his. It's very unfortunate that he was around Zack when he passed, as there are so many of his friends who would not have done that to him. I wish that he had never tried to push those boundaries and that he would not have decided to hang out with Zack again. Drugs do terrible things to a person. Zack was not always that way. He's always been reckless and a little crazy, but he never would have been this bad off had he not gotten started on heroin. I just wanted to say these things because I know these people personally and this is not anything to laugh about. Topper was not what you'd assume when you hear "overdose victim". He was an amazing person with a special light. He was a great friend, son, and brother. He will be dearly missed.

Also: There has been a law passed for 911 immunity here in GA. People rallied together to get is done after Top passed and a lady whose daughter also overdosed pushed it through by knowing someone within the courts.
 
I've known junkies who I'd much rather let die then get asked even one question by a cop.

I stay far away from the dope scene, too much scum involved, drugs aren't an excuse for ANYTHING, period.
 
I'm sure you're a wonderful person. It's a good thing that you stay away from the dope scene, lest you have to save someone's life one day.
 
eh, people are often weak, people make mistakes. No one deserves to die like that, though.

Junkies are still human beings after all. Human beings who should be held accountable for their actions, but human beings none-the-less.
