Expression of the Day

What expression do you see?
FYI: I’m on the road this week teaching so I apologize my blog is light. My schedule has been and will be busy–hope you understand.
For those students who come to visit for the first time–Welcome.
Dateline: Twisted
For those of you who caught Dateline last weekend, and saw the story of Dustin Wehde and Tracey Richter, you will enjoy this Dateline web exclusive where the jury tells you what they thought.
I do not believe for an instant that Dustin Wehde did anything that day other than visit a neighbor and people who he thought were his friends. He ended up being a victim, exactly as the jury saw it, to a sick and twisted psychopath named Tracey Richter.
Richter’s past is classic psychopath. Every where she went, she left a trail of destruction, lies and problems. And in typical psychopath behavior, she blamed everyone else.
Richter thought she was smarter than everyone else and could pull off the perfect crime. Thankfully she didn’t and she’s behind bars today.
If you didn’t see the show, you can watch it here.
Missing Mickey Shunick
Mickey Shunick, 22, a senior at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, disappeared after spending the evening with a close friend, Brettly Wilson. She left Brettly’s house at 1:45 a.m. on her bicycle, and has not been heard from since.
Police have retrieved video footage showing Mickey riding her bike home, and they spotted several vehicles in the area they wanted to question. Apparently, they have questioned all but one vehicle owner. The owner of a Chevy Z-71. You can see the photo of the vehicle here.
When I watch Brettly speak, I see a happy, upbeat person who is easy to get along with. I see young man who is social awkward, and yet liked by people. I see nothing in these videos that stands out to me as inappropriate or questionable. Brettly shows true sadness and concern for his friend.
Two Year Anniversary: Missing Kyron Horman
It’s hard to believe that sweet little Kyron Horman is still missing two years after he disappeared from his school. Terri Horman, his step-mom, dropped him off at school, took a photo of him and without a trace, Kyron was never seen again.
I reviewed Terri and Kaine Horman at the time. You can read my thoughts here. Looking back at it now, I can’t help but wonder if Terri helped Kaine write what he said that day in the media. I suspect she did and I suspect the odd words I picked up on were from Terri’s influence. Who thinks of “memories” so soon after a child is missing? Who thanks people before their child is found? Are these things what Terri suggested Kaine do? I’d love to know…
