In 2016, Barry King, father of Tim King, began a series of blog posts relating his experiences with the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office and the Michigan State Police. His blog was located under the domain name afathersstory-occk.com and there were approximately 80 postings made that year. Mr. King passed away in December of 2020 and 2 years later the domain was not renewed, causing the website to go offline. The site was and still is archived in the Wayback Machine but thereafter was no longer indexed by search engines. The posts were restored here under the new domain name occk.info in order to give Mr. King’s posts the attention they deserve.
