Lyle Herring Arrested for Wife’s Murder

/in /by

I wrote about Lyle Herring back in April of last year after his wife went missing. Lyle’s behavior was odd and notable, even for police investigators. Today they arrested him for his wife, Leslie’s, murder. I just realized I never put this case on “Hot Cases”! I forgot. I wouldn’t have remembered the case, but I saw it was a getting lots of hits on my blog–that’s how I was alerted there was news.

KTLA.com reports:

Lyle S. Herring was arrested Wednesday about 4:30 p.m. after a 14-month-long investigation, police said…Herring has not been seen since February 8, 2009.

They don’t mention that they found Leslie’s body. Has anyone heard if they have?

Don’t forget to watch it today. It runs after the news on ABC most nights if you forgot to record it today!

Do you think Rielle Hunter is a homewrecker?

Oprah’s statement about Rielle was fascinating. Oprah says, “She is a person who is guided by what she feels.” Isn’t that a nice way to say someone is guided by their emotions? People who are guided by emotions often find themselves in controversy, because they don’t apply logic in their decision making process–they overrule it with their emotions.

You can see the original interview with Tonya Craft here.

I do not see any signs of deception in this interview with Tonya. I’d like to see more–especially if Tonya testifies. If she does and you see it, please let me know ASAP.

This case scares me because it is a highly emotional topic for parents. The more emotional people get, the higher the likelihood their emotions will cloud their judgment and their ability to discern fact from fiction. The risk of emotional bias in this case is exceptional high. Due to this, her likelihood of a conviction is dramatically increased, and if that it the case, this case will be contested in courts for years to come.

Rielle Hunter on Oprah Tomorrow

Set your DVRs for tomorrow’s Oprah show. She interview’s Rielle Hunter for the first time. In the preview which can be seen here, Oprah says, “Is it true no one in your life thinks this is a good idea for you to be talking to me?” Rielle displays those critical, squinty eyes in the preview several times!

I think Rielle’s answers are going to be quite interesting!

Due to the fact that I can’t get Oprah’s show online, my review may be brief. If anyone wants to transcribe the show, or purchase a transcript, I will review all of the “interesting” parts! Just let me know.
