I’m looking for video of Shaun Rudy, the husband of Christine Rudy — who is missing and six weeks pregnant.
Shaun Rudy was the last to see her and he supposedly dropped her off on the side of the road in an argument and no one has seen her since.
I am specifically looking for a head shot of Shaun Rudy talking.
If you find any video, please post the link in the comment section.
Thanks!
I believe Daniel Wade Moore is an innocent man. He was tried and convicted by a jury in the state of Alabama for the murder of Dr. David Tipton’s wife. You can read the story here. He was also sentenced to die.
Just recently, Moore was set free, due to the discovery by the defense team that the prosecution suppressed evidence in the case. The defense team immediately filed for a new trial. The judge, upon review of the new evidence, in the case agreed with the defense, and went on further to state that trying the defendant again would amount to double-jeopardy, and he released Daniel Wade Moore.
Then upon review, the Alabama Criminal Court of Appeals stayed the judge’s previous decision, and put Moore back in jail. The Court of Appeals must now make the ultimate decision in this case to free Daniel Wade Moore, or to give him a new trial based on the new evidence.
The new evidence in this case is an eyewitness account of a neighbor who says she saw Karen Tipton alive at 3:30 pm–more than two hours after the prosecution testified she was dead. Somehow the police lost her report.
Furthermore, the new evidence discovered by the defense reveals an FBI report that was never shared with the defense.
The evidence in this case is mostly circumstantial.
CBS News 48 Hours profiled this story on Saturday night. And they aired plenty of footage of both Daniel Wade Moore and Dr. David Tipton.
When Daniel Wade Moore talked, he was honest and truthful. He was consistent. He was genuine. He left little doubt he was truthful, though he did tell a lie that landed him in jail in the first place. Originally, he told his uncle he was in the house when Karen Tipton was killed. He now says he said that only to get his father and his uncle to leave him alone. He was a drug addict and wanted his space. I believe this is the truth.
Dr. David Tipton, however, gives me great pause.
His facial expressions were very inconsistent with what he was saying. He had glee in his eyes, a sense of joy and pride, and accomplishment glimmering in them that didn’t fit with his story. His joyful expressions appeared when he wasn’t supposed to be joyful. When he said no, you could see a glimmer of a yes come across his face.
His expressions didn’t match his words, which indicates deception.
I found Dr. David Tipton’s facial expressions arrogant, glimmering with a sense of accomplishment so much so that my heart pounded in violation. Dr. David Tipton scares me to pieces because of his callousness.
He is one cold, calculating man who I do not trust.
Give me the option to be in a dark alley with Daniel Wade Moore or Dr. Tipton, I’d choose Daniel Wade Moore hands-down every time.
Daniel Wade Moore needs to be set free.

I happened to go to Court TV.com which I visit on occasion to get new stories and videos — to detect lies. There was a juicy story there today that I had not heard about before.
A man claims he went to use the public bathrooms at Home Depot in Colorado, and found he was the recipient of a prank. When he tried to get up from using the toilet, he was super-glued to it, and couldn’t get up.
I found some nice footage of the guy talking about it here.
I will try to be serious about this post because this “could” happen to someone in theory. I suspect –though I don’t know how– someone could get glued to a toilet. I have a hard time understanding the logistics of it — in that glue that powerful I would suspect dries very quickly, but nonetheless, I gave the guy credit and open-mindedly watched the video.
Do I think this man was a victim of a prank?
No.
Do I think this man is lying?
It’s likely.
Do I think the man or an accomplice somehow put glue down and then got attached a few minutes later?
Yes.
While the man doesn’t give off facial clues that are inconsistent with his story that I can see in this video, I believe his story is contrived. He rambles, stumbles, and fumbles for words. He doesn’t talk like someone recollecting a story. He is constantly searching for words to say. When someone tells the truth — they may fumble a little — but they don’t do it to the extent this guy is. They tell their story straight to the point. This man is unable to do that. Repeatedly.
More than that, he is over-dramatic, over-traumatized and trying to make a big deal out of everything.
He also talks way too much and wants way too much attention. He is vying for our approval.
However, the biggest reason I believe this man isn’t being truthful is in the way he tells his story. When recollecting this situation, he doesn’t tell it like a man who was truly surprised by the experience. His story-telling doesn’t fit with that of a “victim”. In more simple terms, he isn’t telling the story from a victim’s point of view — like a victim would. He also says things out-of-context: unusually and abnormally. That is my biggest tip-off that he is less than honest. Combined that with his word-searching and I have huge doubts.
Granted, for anyone, to be glued to a toilet seat would be nasty. It wouldn’t be fun, but it wouldn’t cause the type of nightmares this guy says it does. It wouldn’t be THAT traumatic — two years later. This is simply NOT LOGICAL.
The big news about this guy now isn’t the prank — it is that he passed a polygraph test. He passed it. Amazingly, I am not surprised. But to me, that doesn’t convince me one iota that he is telling the truth.
Sadly, the more I watch people take polygraphs, the less I believe in their accuracy. I believe polygraphs are accurate somewhere in the neighborhood of 65-75% of the time which is better than chance, but I see a fair amount of people tricking it successfully to the point it should be abolished.
I am hoping that if this man takes his prank story to court that real evidence comes out and the truth will be known.
Watch with me…only time will tell!
I wonder if the state of Colorado allows polygraph evidence in court. I sure hope not!
I watched CBS’s 48 Hours again this week. This week they profiled the case of Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald.
In the first few moments, after I saw Jeffrey MacDonald talk, I believed him.
I believed he was innocent.
Then I sat at the edge of my seat, watching, listening and wondering. While I can determine a lie rather quickly, I have no idea of the facts behind the case — so I sit with anticipation to see if things logically fit with what I see.
Some of the evidence that 48 Hours presented caused me to doubt myself and to wonder about the case. Logically, I must say from what was presented on this TV show, you couldn’t help but look suspiciously at Dr. MacDonald.
Yet every time I saw him spoke, I felt he was telling the truth.
So, I make this post as a test for myself. Talk is that DNA evidence will be released this year which might help determine the truth in this case once and for all. If DNA exonerates Dr. MacDonald, I will have a solid belief in my abilities.
Right now, I am confident that I am capable to about 80%. Beyond that, I don’t have enough facts to know if I am right — or not. Cases hang in the balance to show my accuracy.
May this be a test…
Update: 7/06/07
I’ve come to understand my abilities a little better — and as of today, July 7th, I no longer stand by this opinion. I am not changing my mind — and stating that I disbelief MacDonald either. Rather, I refrain from judgment, and here is an explanation as to why.
On that note, if you see any old video of Jeffrey MacDonald shortly after the murderers, or anytime up to and through the trial — point me to them!
Tom Brokaw did a special on Friday night called “In God They Trust“. It was all about the new religious movement in the United States—and the New Life Church.
Ted Haggard is pastor of a New Life church in Colorado Springs, and furthermore, he is the President of the National Association of Evangelicals. According to Mr. Haggard, he even talks to the White House daily.
Ted Haggard has one of the most insincere, fake smiles I have ever seen. It is constantly plastered on his face.
A fake smile reeks of someone who is insincere and dishonest.
