After a few years out of the spotlight, Petaluma's notorious Sampson family is back in the news after a badly decomposed body was found on their property and a feud with neighbors grew ugly when one family member allegedly began dumping human waste at a nearby property.

But years before that, the twins and their father, Howard, launched a heated campaign against then Petaluma mayor Helen Putnam. The hostility reached fever pitch in 1977 when Tony Sampson was charged with firebombing Putnam's car and her place of work at Two Rock School, which sustained severe damage.

More like a Hollywood version of hillbillies because they sure don’t sound like any hillbillies I know.

The obituary for one of the twins said he was born in San Raphael and lived most of his life in Sonoma County.

“I live in KY, (iirc) no place in my state fits that description, it seems this

Yes, but “A Christmas Story” takes place in SOuth Bend Indiana, where the Bumpuses lived. In this case, locale has nothing to do with hillbilliness as it is more a state of mind than a state.

You’re not getting all PC on me at the FR site?

I thought Sampson was still in prison on tax evasion charges after he got away with the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.
