48 Hours: Rodney Denk

/in , /by

Did you catch the story of Amy Weidner this past weekend on 48 Hours titled “Decades of Deceit“?

During the episode, I saw an interview of Rodney Denk, the man convicted of killing Amy Weidner. 48 Hours also uploaded a web extra of Denk (above).

When I saw Denk on the show he suggested there were accomplices.  It caught my eye because detectives said Denk changing his story that he did have them, then he didn’t or couldn’t remember.

My question is why would you, after you confess, indicate another person was involved, if they weren’t?  What gain would there be for Denk to do that?  I can’t think of any reason, which leads me to believe it is possibly true.

Furthermore, by the fact he couldn’t remember the name of the guy, could he be afraid to implicate someone else out of fear?  It’s possible, but from the short interview shown on 48 Hours, I cannot say conclusively.

So I set out to see the web extra on 48 Hours website of Denk.

When I watch that clip, one thing is for sure. Denk isn’t willing to tell us the truth other than to admit that he was there.  He also doesn’t show us any sadness, regret or any negative emotions considering he carried around the knowledge of what he did for years. This concerns me and gets me thinking about psychopathy and pathological lying.

Considering we can’t rule out psychopathy or that he is a pathological liar, its hard to say if there was or was not another person involved without having access to more interviews of Denk. He could be simply pathological, which means he will say whatever hits his fancy at the moment.

Yesterday I wrote about the 48 Hours episode that aired this past weekend:  “Wounded by Love“.  Now, you tell me what you think…

48 Hours: Caryn Kelly and Phillip Peatross

/in , /by

Did you catch 48 Hours this weekend? They profiled the story of Caryn Kelly and Phillip Peatross in Orlando, Florida. Kelly tells of how she accidentally shot Peatross by accident. Peatross died of his injuries.

There were so many inconsistencies in Kelly’s story, it is shocking that she was able to walk out of a courtroom a free woman. You don’t need me to point out a lot of the inconsistencies. They were obvious as a hall light in a dark house.  I could write a book on all of her inconsistencies there were so many of them.

I’ll share one of them that jumped out at me in a big way.  It was when Roberts asked Kelly when she awoke to an unknown person in her house, “Did you say ‘Who is this?’ Did you shout?”

“Yeah, basically I said, ‘Don’t come near me’ whoever it was, before I could see him in the doorway,” Kelley replied.

I found that absolutely ridiculous and laughable.

Who tells an unknown intruder in your house “Don’t come near me” ANNOUNCING WHERE THEY ARE IN A DARK HOUSE?  Hey, I’m right here.  Hear that?  Yep, that’s me.

That was absolute B.S. if I ever heard it.  We can be pretty confident not even the fundamental element of who was where when is accurate.  I certainly don’t believe it.

I hate to admit it, but I did not trust one word out of Kelly’s mouth. Not one.

Did you catch the one and only time Kelly showed true emotion? It was when she was left court a free woman. She never showed an ounce of care for Peatross–nothing!  When she “tried” to cry over him, she basically laid out the classic high pitched (fake) whine.

I completely concur with Dr. G, the police and investigators on this case. That had it right from day one, but Kelly’s defense attorney planted enough doubt or the prosecutor didn’t prove the case.

 

David Camm: 3rd Trial Sets Him Free

/3 Comments/in , /by

David Camm supposedly found his wife and kids shot to death inside their family garage back in September of 2000. You can hear his 911 call above. David Camm faced three trials, in which two of the verdicts were overthrown, and Camm was given new trials. The last trial ended in October of this year, and this time David Camm was vindicated and sent free.

Many of you have searched for my blog and wondered why I never wrote about David Camm. When I agree with the verdict or don’t have enough evidence in a case, I typically don’t write about it. I only write on cases when I disagree or am requested to do so by popular vote!

And with the new court decision finding David Camm innocent, I have to disagree.

I do not believe David Camm and the amount of red flags that he sends off is quite disturbing to me.

In the 911 call alone, he whines rather than expresses true and sincere emotion. He never does cry, act sad or surprised. He gives us a high-pitched voice, too, which people often use when they fake distress.

It’s also interesting how David Camm had no interest for an ambulance to come (ignores the Post Commander in the 911 call repeatedly), but said he wanted help from family across the street.

David Camm had blood on his shirt–droplets–which he claims he got from moving or coming in contact with his daughter after she was deceased. Blood typically does not transfer in “droplets” by contact–certainly not 8 droplets. There would be smears.

As for Charles Boney, I believe he and Camm know the truth, and that each of them were involved. 

I could write a lot about David Camm and why I don’t trust him…if only I had more time!

Check back later this week for my thoughts on Dateline this week on Lottie and Waseem.  Who is the ultimate manipulator?

Amber and Josh Hilberling

Did you catch Dateline this weekend?  It was the story of Amber and Josh Hilberling.  Josh ended up falling out of his 25th floor apartment that he shared with his wife.

In the police interrogation room, before police spoke to her, Amber started talking to her grandmother about what happened, and police not only listened in, but recorded her.

Amber talks about how she pushed her husband and that he fell out the window, but when asked by her grandmother if it was intentionally, she says no.

I do not believe a word out of Amber’s mouth.  She is one scary woman!

I believe, without question, that Amber Hilberling intentionally pushed Joshed knowing it would cause his death.

The clues that Amber reveals are chilling.  One that really stood out to me was this one: Amber said in the police interrogation room shortly after her husband died, “This is gonna turn into a nightmare.”

Think about that.

If your husband just died from a horrific accidental fall wouldn’t that be your nightmare?

It clearly wasn’t for Amber.

I think that says it all.
