Todd Dolin, arrested Friday for the murder of Dallas Postmaster Lua Wolverton, is back in Marshall County after facing a judge in Zanesville, Ohio, for the first time Monday. According to Marshall County Prosecutor Jeffrey Cramer, Dolin waived his right to an extradition hearing and was transported back to Marshall County, where he was lodged at the Northern Regional Jail.
DALLAS, W.Va. - As investigators piece together the events that led to the shooting death of a female postmaster Friday, the U.S. Postal Service is working to ensure everyone receives their mail.
The Dallas Post Office in Dallas, W.Va., has been closed since that day, when Lua Zervos-Wolverton, 43, of Glen Easton, was shot twice. Todd Dolin, 39, of Moundsville, was arrested hours later in Zanesville, Ohio, and has been charged as a fugitive from justice wanted for first-degree murder.
According to U.S. Postal Service communications specialist Tad Kelley, mail service was interrupted for a brief time Friday but later resumed. He said even though the post office will remain closed for most of this week, all residents will still receive mail.
"The Dallas Post Office is expected to reopen this Friday," Kelley said. "Mail service is being continued out of the Valley Grove Post Office in the interim."
Kelley said the Dallas office only has one delivery route and that there have been no problems in delivering mail so far.
"There have been no problems that I am aware of," Kelley said. "Stamps and other services are available at Valley Grove, Wheeling and West Finley (Pa.) offices in terms of proximity for customers. Customers receiving notices left in their mailboxes, for packages or signature mail that needs to be picked up, can retrieve their mail from the Valley Grove office."
He added that post office box customer mail for Dallas customers is also available at the Valley Grove office.
"We appreciate our customers' patience during this short alteration of services," Kelley noted.
The Wheeling post office has hours Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for retail assistance.

DianaO, I agree, but I was accused of lack of compassion because I stated a fact from a Criminal Justice 101 textbook.

APortal, I DID NOT say she made him do it. What I SAID/IMPLIED was that INFIDELITY or MONEY are the reasons these things happen in a HUGE MAJORITY of cases like this. I extend my sympathy and prayers to the families of Lua Zervos-Wolverton and Todd Dolin. Having said that, I think Mr.> Dolin should have 2 options, Regular or Extra Crispy.

I knew Todd and Lua both and I can not think of one bad thing to say about either. My prayers go out to both families because life for all involved is about to change forever.

Either she was seeing someone else or money was involved. ONLY Love or Money make folks CRAZY enough to toss their lives away.

If she would have had an abortion 16 years ago, she would probably still be alive.

From what I understand these two had children together. Not sure what the exact motive for the shooting was however.

Why was it necessary to describe the postmaster as a female? I can't imagine your staff would have used gender to describe a man. Get with the times.
