Still Married Drew Peterson is Engaged

/in /by

A reader of my blog informed me this morning that Drew Peterson has confirmed that he is engaged to another young 23-year-old woman. If Peterson gets his way, this will be his 5th marriage.

Peterson, for the record, is twice this girls age as he is 54-years-old.

The woman’s name has not been released to the media, and she has not made any media appearances that I can find. The couple according to Peterson have been dating for only four months.

Mind you, Drew Peterson is still legally married to Stacy, but that hasn’t stopped him from inquiring about his legal options for a split.

[Fox News]Desertion for at least one year is grounds for divorce under Illinois law — though Peterson, as the divorce petitioner, would have to show he wasn’t at fault for causing his wife to leave, Leving said.

All I can say is I feel sorry for this woman. She must have had a horrible background like Peterson’s other exes and has a need to feel sorry for Peterson, and believe him. Her life must have been empty for her to resort to finding comfort in a man as chilling as Peterson. How sad. Let’s hope this doesn’t end as tragic as his other relationships.

Child Remains Found Near Anthony Home

News just in from CNN:
Child’s remains found near home of Caylee’s grandparents

Apparently a utility worker a couple of blocks from the Anthony home (approximately 1/4 of a mile) today at approximately 9:30 found a plastic bag and when he picked it up, a child’s skull fell out. Inside were badly decomposed remains of a young child. The bag was found in a wooded area.

Orlando Sentinel:
Remains Appear to Be Caylee Anthony’s Say Searcher

“[EquuSearch volunteer Deborah] Smith said the area where the remains were found is “really wet and steep and there’s lots of snakes back there.”

“EquuSearch spokeswoman Mandy Albritton said their workers did not check that location earlier because it was submerged in water when they had looked in September. When they returned in November, the site had been fenced off [private property].”

May Caylee Anthony get justice.

From CNN: No Death Penalty for Casey Anthony

/in /by

CNN is reporting that prosecutors will not seek the death penalty in the case against Casey Anthony.

“It is not in the best interest of the people of the state of Florida to pursue the death penalty as a potential sentence,” prosecutors concluded, according to the document.

I wonder why that is? Any guesses?

You can’t help but wonder if it is because Casey is young, a woman and a mother, if that somehow played into the decision.

Casey Anthony Tapes Released

/in /by

Several of you have inquired about my opinion of Casey Anthony and Cindy Anthony in the video tapes that were just released yesterday. Due to the volume of footage (several hours), I am not going to review all the segments. Personally, I don’t have the time. However, I am more than happy to respond to specific inquiries given specific content and time markers.

I did watch the first six minutes of this footage (Part 1 from July 25th), and I don’t see any indications in this footage that Cindy Anthony is in cahoots with her daughter, or that she has any indication where Caylee is at. She appears genuinely concerned, and stressed about her granddaughter’s whereabouts.

Read moreWhen I watch Cindy Anthony, she is very serious and her actions are indicative that she is on a mission to (a) comfort her daughter, but (b) to also try to find out facts. She is serious as one would expect, and intent on looking for Caylee. That is not unusual or notable in anyway. It is what I’d expect.

Casey on the other hand laughs and genuinely smiles at times as if nothing is wrong. It’s very notable. When one is deeply afraid and fears they have lost a loved one to a tragedy, they are usually not able to laugh or smile genuinely without any indications of fear or stress. Yet Casey laughs without any indications of stress or worry. Her voice also sounds free of distress which is also a red flag. All of this is indicative that Casey is not feeling normal emotions.

Notice Casey’s mom Cindy never breaks out in a deep smile or genuine laugher? That’s because Cindy is truly worried and concerned about Caylee, where Casey is not.

Feel free to post specific areas you would like me to look at below. Give me time marker spans of no more than 4 minutes, and please tell me precisely what you would like me to look at, and I will be happy to share with you what I see. Depending on the number of requests I get, I may not respond to all, but I will respond to the ones I feel are most valuable. Thanks!

Ali Kamara Beating: Two Teens Arrested

/in /by

The police have arrested two teens yesterday morning in connecting with the beating of Ali Kamara, a Liberian emigrant from Staten Island, who was attacked on election night by four men wielding bats and yelling “Obama”.

I wrote about Ali Kamara on Friday, November 7th here, and I stated that Kamara raised my eyebrows. I found Kamara’s limp to come and go in the video I watched of him which is quite peculiar. I don’t know if he is exaggerating, or if there is more.

What is also interesting is in the original video that I watched of Kamara shortly after the crime occurred, the reporter says Kamara said the car from which the attackers got out of was “gold”. Now in the latest news reports, they are saying the car was a “black” sedan (I’ve seen at least two reports say”black sedan”). I’d be curious to know if this is an inconsistency, a reporting error or if something else is going on here.

If anyone sees video of the two arrested suspects talking, Ralph Nicoletti and Bryan Garaventa, please let me know.
