Site launch - 12/09/07!

The reason behind this website is to bring exposure both good and bad about the crews running around America enticing kids and young adults to join them. Some of the crews are highly organized and extremely well ran for both sales and the welfare of the kids involved.

We hope to bring you both the good and bad of these crews. What you may see id the problem being more bad than good. Many of the stories researched have kids that found these crews by them trying to sell magazines during the day at their parents home.

In other words, a crew member will come upon  a home offering magazine subscriptions for sale and a young adult of 17 to 21 are the only ones at home. Knowing they may not make a sale to someone that young, with no job because they're home mid-day,  they tend to bring up the opportunity of traveling along with them. Tales of money, travel and fun!

A few good stories about the glory of the traveling with a crew and a youngster with nothing to do can be hooked within an hour. This site is new and the information will slowly trickle in with up-to-date accounts of these happenings. Upon launching the website, the blog has archived articles referring to a few stories of what these kids get into. Please visit our Magazine Crew Blog.

Arrests Made In Double Homicide

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Two arrests have been made in the double murder of an elderly northeast Albuquerque couple.

Police said Travis Rowley, 23, and Mike Lee, 21, were arrested Friday in connection with the deaths of Tak and Pung Yi, who were found found dead in their home earlier this week.

Police said the victims suffered massive head trauma. The death was a shock to Albuquerque's Korean community. 

Police said Rowley and Lee were transients from the Dallas area. They were working in Albuquerque selling magazines door-to-door for a company called Integrity PGM Sales.

Police said the Albuquerque community was very helpful, contributing up to six tips per hour. Police said a circulated artist sketch matched Rowley's appearance.

Rowley and Lee will be transported to the Metro Detention Center Friday evening and charged with two open counts of murder.

Both are being held on a $2 million dollar cash only bond.

If you have information or if the two men came to your house trying to sell magazines, you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 843-STOP.
