Possible “Myspace” Connection to a Valley Murder:
19-year-old Dustin Gran and his 16-year-old girlfriend Brittany Navarra are accused in the bludgeoning death of 18-year-old Krista-Rae Pike of Madera, California.
It seems that Navarra used to date Krista-Rae Pike’s fiancé, Thomas Hollier. When Pike returned to Madera Hollier broke it off with Navarra and went back to Pike. It’s believed that Navarra with the assistance of Gran killed Pike to get back at Hollier.
First off I used to date a girl who carried a torch for another man. That was the worst relationship I was ever in. When I found this out I could barely look at her let alone kill for her so this Gran guy is an idiot. Secondly when did teenage romances get so freakin’ violent?
Now I’m, not condoning at all what these two are accused of doing but I have to call shenanigans on this article that I linked to. The article I linked to is trying to drum up some kind of MySpace scare. Accoriding to the article Gran posed with guns on his MySpace. I’ll have to take their word for it because someone stripped down his MySpace. A communications professor states that both Gran’s and Navarra’s MySpaces are satanic and violent. Especially with this quote…
A page that’s filled with violent images, he sent this one to 16-year old Brittany Navarra about two weeks before police say the pair killed Krista-Rae Pike.
You want to see what the picture in question was?
I guess the media never heard of horror movie fans. My wife is a horror movie fan and she has tons of MySpace friends who are who send each other stuff like this all the time. It does not necessarily make one satanic.
This year I’m going to be 40-years old which is ancient by internet standards. How come someone as decrepit as me gets it but the media doesn’t?

hey “krista’s pain”…What do you know about my sister that i dont know huh? I was there when everything went awry. YOU wernt! my sister was NEVER told to leave, she WANTED to go. To see what life was like in the world. She didnt have to go to school anymore. My mom is probably the most CARING mom in the world. She probably cares about her kids more than your mom cares about you. She’s an amazing person. Dont talk about her that way. this is about thomas, brittany, dustin, and krista…not my mom.
I never said she was told to leave. I said she was told she could be lived without. Something you didn’t deny and something you know was said by more than just your mother.
I know that if I was a parent I would want my kids to at least complete high school before they ran off to see what life is like in the big world of Madera.
I am not talking bad about your mother, but I am sure she has relived everything she said. I am sure she regets letting her go. I know I would if I was in her place.
No this case is not just about Krista, Thomas, Britney or Dustin. There are other things that led us to this tragidy as I am sure your mother will agree.
Krista’s Pain – why would you bring up this garbage at this time? Only to spread more pain? Karma catches up with us in ways we can never imagine. Hopefully, sometime in the future when you are in great pain due to a loss, you will not suffer from people writing such trash.
There is nothing to be gained from discussing what happened in the past between Krista and her Mom. Regrets are always there when someone dies, even if it is natural causes. Regrets can seem immeasurable under these circumstances. Why not be supportive instead of adding to the anguish? Everyone makes mistakes, and if Krista’s mom did let her daughter go, I am sure she thought it was best. I am sure it seemed like it was a good reason at that time. We can never know in advance what will happen to our loved ones. If her Mom knew what was going to happen, I am sure she would have done something differently. Even if she did do something different, we cannot know what the result would have been.
We cannot live our lives on what we think might happen. If we did that, we would never leave our house, never branch out, never try anything new.
You are correct in that we need to treasure every moment our loved ones are alive.
Under these circumstances, we do not need people reminding us of the mistakes we made. I am sure there are plenty of good memories.
If Krista was still here, I am sure she would tell you these things as well. “If Only” follows everyone around when someone passes no matter what the reason. It is totally insensitive of you to keep reminding relatives of the bad.
Everyone needs to realize this is a national blog about issues related to crimes that happen on or with a My Space account. No one is trying to offend the family about anything but we are discussing aspects of this case. Every aspect of this case is open for discussion.
If the family doesn’t like what is written go to another website. Don’t read it. But from what I saw on the news and in the newspapers the family just can’t help themselves. They are drawn to the television lights like a moth to the flame.
Yes I feel for the family but I want to be able to discuss the issues of this case freely without some family member crying “You just don’t understand”.
This kid is going to jail for the rest of his life. This bimbo is probably getting 20 years to life. But there are other factors that put Krista’s life in danger.
A boyfriend that was screwing around with a kid that didn’t know how to accept rejection. What did Thomas do to Britney? Revenge doesn’t make the killing right, but Thomas needs to accpet his part of the responsibilty.
A mother who turns her back on a girl and says she can live without her, forcing her to move in with her boyfriend and his father. Yes I am sure she is filled with regret, but it is a factor that contributed to her murder.
Thomas’s father. Couldn’t he see the evil in these two people? Did he know what was going on in his own house? He was there to take care of this young girl. He reported the threats after the fact. Why didn’t he do something before it was to late?
The families of Britney and Dustin. Couldn’t they see where these two were headed. Anyone that looked at their My Space pages knew there was something wrong.
And again, anyone that saw their My Space profiles. Come on that was some sick shit. These two, Thomas and many of their shared friends have fasinations with death and murder. What the hell is up with that?
Yes she is your sister or your friend, but here in this forum we have every right to discuss her. We have every right to talk about this crime. I want to make sure that folks don’t forget about all of the people that contributed to this horrible tragity.
Step back.
I understand that you have EVERY right to talk about her. I couldnt care less because ur opinions dont matter to me but i just wanted to say…WHO TOLD YOU WE COULD LIVE WITHOUT HER?!?!? obviously if we did, we were wrong…its been the most horrendous crazy time ever. i love my sister so freaking much. hey, i wonder what happened to Simon!!!???
Haha Simon probably got arrested for dealing drugs or something…frickin loser…its a much better page without his stupid,unsensitive remarks…..hopefully someone like stold his dog or something and his in his room crying about it maybe he will post a blog and then we can all write to it and say rude shit to him….douche bag….Anyways Alexandria I am really sorry that it has been so hard for you but as time goes on you will feel a little better each day…krista will never be forgotten but she will help you forgive and live your life..keep your head up honey…and stay strong and live your life to the fullest like im sure your sister would want you to….
I often wonder why people in general seem to either bury their heads or engage in full blown drama. very little productive territory between looking the other way and drama.
A kid I know just called me, got bitten by a dog who jumped its fence. She didn’t know what to do, didn’t want to be dramatic. Kids have very little sense of how to act. Adults too. Safer not to act. Think of all the people who come forward when a parent kills a child to say they saw indicators of violence. And think of the rampage killers, the people who weren’t surprised.
Part of it has to do with our idea of freedom and rights. These two killers were entitled to put almost anything they chose on their web pages. We defend that freedom. What we need is a social mechanism that is not necessarily legal and punishment oriented. If we turn in a parent for bruises on their child, we might be responsible for an innocent person going to jail and losing his or her child. And those rampage killers, who would we speak to about our fears about their obsession with weapons and killing?
How and to whom do we report the red flag behavior of an innocent teen? The way our system is now, we have to wait till people commit a crime till we can deal with them.

I am a part of that redneck ass family as you say…. you don’t know what our family has been through and you can’t claim to call MY family that when you don’t know anyone. If you would like to say that about my family, at least get to know us and know that everyone has struggles, if you are so perfect, why have you not been translated to heaven to live with GOD?
why would we make a shirt about some squares killing eachother?
madera news, you that fat sack of shit jack porter?
somebody falsifying my name in here. i didnt give a fuck about none of those sad ass people and i support statchatory rape. but if this fake simon shit keep up there gonna be another MUR-DERA massacre. so whoever the fuck you are keep my name out your “home-row” or I’m gonna kill your family
-SIME
FdotSnitches
wow. you think you’re cool? you really shouldnt talk like that on here especially about killing more people. there are plenty of people who can track u down in an instant. u better not talk that. ESPECIALLY ON HERE!!!
Im-dot-postors.
bitch i didnt threaten nobody. cause i dont know who’s pretending to be me. if i knew who it was there would already be a new topic started. about somebodys family tragicly being ctrl+alt+deleted.
i had to call in sick to baltimore air coil today cause i heard somebody trying to use my name to talk about squares who are no longer with us
-SIME
I believe threatening to kill someone’s family is a crime.
cool scott i hope your eagle scout leader agrees too.
-SIME
im not gonna stand by idlely and let Murdera destroy the moral fabric of this town with its catchy slogans what happened to the pride and joy i felt when i was a young adult in high school and madera was breaking records nationally with its unprecedented number of unwed teen pregnancies. Some might respond well kids have just grown smarter and are using protection, fuck that these shirts are responsible for Madera taking its eye of the prize.
The TRUE definition of rape is having one person have sexual intercourse without the other partner’s consent. She gave him the authority to so therefore is not rape. She and Gran were psychotic from the start and will be for the end of their lives. They’re psychotic and on top of that they’re stupid and Gran was obviously easily manipulated. I was Krista-Rae’s best friend, we were like sisters, and as far as I’m concerned, she is in a better place now so I’ll appreciate it if you could keep your rude comments to yourself. Technically, in all 50 states you can go to court for ruining a person’s reputation, so YOU DO THE MATH
-Rose M.S.
What is Dustin’s myspace i want to see this fucker’s page
Rose you can not ruin the reputation of someone who is dead. So go be a school yard attorney somewhere else.
lol technically speaking yeah you can..im taking a government political system course and i actually do my research with a lawyer(friend patrik’s dad) so you need to fuck off and take your head out of your ass
ROSE…unfortunately they have stripped both dustin and brittanys myspace…u can still see a cached version of brittanys but i have not seen one for dustins yet…Im sorry about the loss of your close friend….try not to get to offended by the rude comments of people on here…they are just using there right of freedom of speech…but some of them dont have enough common sense as to an opinion and rudeness….but someday they will lose someone close to them and then maybe they will know what its like and feel bad for the things they are saying about krista….The poor girl has been through enough stop slandering her name and have some respect for the dead…talk about the assholes that took her precious life away the ones that still get to breath and eat everyday…..they may be locked up but they still have there lives…..krista no longer has hers….
My sister was one of krista’s best friends. i had only met krista once at a birthday party and she seemed like one of the girls who would win miss congeniality in high school. I was profoundly affected by her death. Not because i knew her well or because i knew what a wonderful person she was but, because she was killed my sister will never be the same. It has changed her. No one should ever have to go through losing their best friend in this way. All of you can say whatever you want about her or brittany , or gran or thomas. but you didnt know her and you dont know them. you have no idea what was going on in brittany’s mind. obviously nothing short of revenge, hate, and brutality. My own personal opinion is that gran was probably one of those kids who had never gotten any real attention from a girl and he was probably in a very obsessive relationship with brittany. Thomas MAY have made some mistakes by having a relationship with brittany because she obviously has some obsessive traits to her as well. Most teens, myself included go through a period of depression and hate for a person who has pushed us aside or rejected us for another, but normal people GET OVER IT! There is always pain there but you dont send somebody over to the persons house to beat them to death and then take photos of it like its some kind of accomplishment. I think brittany told gran to kill her not because she wanted krista dead but because she wanted thomas to suffer and trust me hes doing nothing less than that. Everybody who ever met krista is doing nothing but suffering for her. My sister was practically catatonic when she found out what had happened. She thought it was a cruel joke. Because who would do something like that? Something you assholes probably didnt know was that before gran came over and committed his slaughter krista made pancakes and texted my sister about how she was going to go down and get her test book so she could get her GED. She was really happy because she was planning her wedding and starting a life of her own. Her first chance to branch out and be her own person. She hadnt even gotten started. Even if Brittany and Gran dont get the death penalty or she doesnt (god forbid) get life in prison you think about everybody in prison who will make them remember what they did. Im sure there’s no way to get justice for krista or for the pain those two idiots have put everybody through. But im sure the inmates in whatever prison they get sent to will try. Thats what im relying on. Because if they get death they’re getting the easy way out and if they get life it seems like its just not enough. So i hope the rest of their lives is a living hell and they have to think about what they did to her every single day. Because people like Alex and and the rest of the Pike family and everyone who was her friend will be in a living hell as well because they have do do everything without her and keep in the back of their minds the reason why. So if you want to sit and try to justify what those kids did and try to put the blame on others. Thats fine but in the end your going to keep coming back to the fact that THEY DID NOT HAVE TO DO WHAT THEY DID. IT WAS A CHOICE AND IT WAS THEIR CHOICE NO ONE MADE THEM MAKE IT. NOW THEY’RE GOING TO PAY.
why come my imposter got ghost???
Kayla,
I’m sorry for everyone that is going through this horrible loss. I think that you are so right about the boy that murdered Krista. The girl involved is obviously very unstable and vengeful to have even thought of doing such a thing to another person. She used that boy to do her dirty work knowing that he had probably never had a girl pay him any attention before. That doesn’t excuse him though. How someone could commit such a horrible crime is beyond me…and then take pictures to prove that it was done.
I know what it is to lose a loved one to murder and so I can place myself in the shoes of Krista’s family and also your sister. My youngest daughter was murdered and it is a nightmare that I wouldn’t ever wish on anyone. It is something that a person never gets over. A selfish act committed by another person. Don’t pay any attention to what others say about Krista. Those of you who knew Krista know the person that she was. The people who didn’t know her don’t really matter. Barbara

I am krista little brother.
i am shocked by what some of the people have to say about my sister on here. its as if nobody has any kind of emotion. how dare u sit there and say that thomas should go to jail. All he ever did was get together with the girl he loved. Its not up to u to say what should happen to him. what if your fiance was murdered and YOU found her in YOUR living room. and then everybody is telling u that ist ur fault????
another thing is that i would like to know simon johnson’s real name
no you don’t.
Why would he not want to know the real name. Is it someone he knows or are you just trying to make something out of nothing?
I would also like to kno….but i’m never gonna get it.
its most likely someone who knows brittany navarra. but who cares. his opinions mean nothing.
Russ. maybe you didnt read this shit. you dumb son of a bitch.
my real name is Scott Christ

I think Russel was referring to the imposter. Did you not say someone was posing to be “you.” So maybe you did not read it correctly.

Ok, children. You’ve had enough fun for now. This thread is closed.
