William Walsh Arrested for Murder

/in /by

Thanks to those of you who informed me of the news that William Walsh was arrested on suspicion of murder last night. I just wrote that I didn’t trust William Walsh yesterday.

Police identified the body of Leah Williams Wednesday evening and shortly thereafter arrested William.

William is a person I would call a negative person. He is one of the easiest people to read. I knew immediately that he was lying. It was instant. None of his behaviors left any doubt. They were all off and none made any sense whatsoever.

What a tragedy.

Police Find Body

/in /by

[NYDailyNews.com 11:47 a.m.] A body was discovered near the Long Island Expressway Wednesday morning, several miles from where missing schoolteacher Leah Walsh’s car was found, police said.

Police are saying it is too early to tell if it is the body of Leah Walsh.

If you aren’t familiar with this story, see the post below.

William Walsh

/in /by

A New York schoolteacher, Leah Walsh, 29, disappeared on Monday after supposedly getting a flat tire on her drive to work. The school where Leah worked contacted her father at noon after she failed to show up for school, and reported her missing to the police as well.

Her father, who then went looking for her, found her car on the side of the highway with a DOT sticker on it saying it was found at 6:30 a.m., disabled. Police say that is standard operating procedure for a car with a flat tire. The police assume the owners went to get assistance.

When police searched the area later with Bill, they found Leah’s purse, but no one has found Leah.

Bill made a plea for his wife’s return. You can watch it here.

Read more “I want my wife back. She can just have my car, she can have everything. I just want my wife back,” says Bill.

Later he says “Please just get the picture out. That’s all we want, okay? [Reporter: Do you know where your wife is?] I got no clue. I got a text from her in the morning, but that was it.”

I can tell you that Bill’s plea put my antenna on high. Absolutely nothing about his plea is logical. Nothing about his plea makes sense.

He not only talks nonsense–that she can have his car and everything–which is illogical if she just disappeared after getting a flat tire, but he pitches his voice up so high in what sounds like a fake attempt to show distress that it almost gets me nauseated.

Furthermore, in the second snippet of Bill talking, when the reporter asks a question of him, notice how as he thinks, his voice pitch goes back down to normal. The thinking caused him to forget to pitch his voice up. It’s an incredible and notable point. When we are really wigged out, our voice pitch says consistent. It doesn’t change this quickly.

Also, do you see any tears? If Bill is so upset, why aren’t there tears?

I don’t trust a word out of Bill’s mouth, unfortunately, but the police are saying that Bill is cooperating.

A friend of Leah’s from Los Angeles, however, is talking:

[The Criminal Report Daily] During an interview with the Daily News, Leah’s friend, Lucas Bean, said that he exchanged text messages with Leah on Sunday and that she allegedly told him that she had gotten into a fight with Bill.

“She was in the car with him texting to me.… She was telling me that things are not going to work out with her and her husband, and she had to tell me something very important, but she needed to wait till she got out of the car with him,” he said.

According to Lucas, Bill and Leah had not been married for long and had separated at least once.

Unfortunately, Bill is tell us the truth when he says that Leah can have his car and everything. He is saying that in hindsight–after the fact. It’s obvious from what Bill tells us, and what Lucas is telling us is that he and Leah did have a fight. Leah wanted a divorce, and one can speculate they were arguing over what she wanted from that divorce. You can speculate further that the fight went horribly wrong, and now that it is over, Bill says what he really feels — though it makes absolutely no sense if Bill is just worried she got a flat tire and was abducted.

It’s a very sad and tragic story unfolding. I only hope I am wrong that Leah returns home safe and sound.

Update 10:20
Reader Susan posted a link to an audio clip below in the comment section. In the audio, Bill says that his wife left at 6:00 a.m.”She texted me in the morning at like 6:25, and that’s the last I heard from her.”

He said her text said “Have a great day. Love you bunches. Mwah!”

If she sent such a sweet text message, why is he worried that she left him again? Why does he say she can have the car and everything? It’s flat out inconsistent. The word “like” stands out to me here, too. It’s an odd choice of words for a true statement. I also wonder if Leah was the type of person to text the gesture of a “kiss”.

Bill is sobbing pretty much non-stop in this audio, some of it I believe is genuine, but I think it is pain and fear for himself rather than for Leah. Why would he give up hope for her so soon? Why would he assume the worst without any evidence to suggest otherwise unless he knows her fate? It’s utterly baffling if he is being honest with us! It makes absolutely no sense.

4 Year Blog Anniversary

Today marks the 4th year that “Eyes for Lies” has been blogging and bringing you the truth before it was known. It’s been another successful and rewarding year.

The one case that is questionable in my four years of blogging and that one could suggest affects my perfect track record would be the JonBenet Ramsey case. It all depends on how you feel.

John Ramsey was cleared by District Attorney Mary Lacy, but her move was quite controversial.

I’d be honored if you, my readers, would share your thoughts about my blog, your interest in it, how long you’ve been reading it, and what you think about my track record. Anonymous comments are allowed.

Thanks for all your commitment and interest in my blog. May we have another successful and rewarding year! May the truth prevail!

Drew Peterson: One Year Later

/in , /by

It’s hard to believe Stacy Peterson disappeared a year ago today. So much has gone on over the past year, but sadly nothing productive enough to bring the truth to the forefront in a way that would hold the responsible party accountable–despite the confidence in the American people who believe that Drew Peterson is responsible for the death of both of his wives.

Today to mark the one year anniversary of Stacy’s disappearance, Drew Peterson and his attorney flew to New York to meet with Matt Lauer again, and Drew gave a lot less arrogant interview this time around.

Living under the umbrella of suspicion has tamed Drew Peterson’s wild side. He is clearly preparing himself mentally for the potential of life behind bars as he says and as he should. There is no denying that Drew looks tired, and worn out. We are no longer seeing this cocky man sitting on the stage thinking he is fooling us all. Clearly, Drew’s life wasn’t the cake walk he had hoped for last November.

Read moreThere wasn’t much to glean from Drew’s interview today until the very end when Matt says what do you want to say to Stacy, if you believe she is still out there? It’s not what Drew said that is remarkable, but how he said it that is.

Watch as Drew speaks. His thoughts go into himself, and then he rambles to no one “Show yourself. Put an end to this nightmare.”

Notice how he doesn’t look at anyone? Notice he doesn’t try to plead to Stacy directly by looking at the camera?

When we believe someone is alive and we are pleading to them to come home, we look straight at the camera to give our message. We say it with fervor and meaning — especially if our neck is on the line. But clearly Drew doesn’t do this. It’s palpable. It’s notable, and Drew’s behavior continues to support he is not telling us the truth.

FIRST MEMORIES OF THE CASE

I’ll never forget reading about the case for the first time last year, and reading an article in the Sun-Times within hours of Stacy’s disappearance. Drew Peterson hadn’t made a public comment yet so all I had to go on was Drew Peterson’s words printed in the paper, and what I read clearly gave me pause.

Drew Peterson said “I believe she’s not missing.” Those five words stopped me dead in my tracks. No one talks like that. Last year I wrote…

“I don’t like the way Peterson said ‘I believe she’s not missing.’ When people are dishonest, they often add the qualifer and descriptive text to the end [of a sentence] as an after thought. Most people would normally say ‘I don’t believe she is missing.’ They don’t start out with ‘I believe she’s’ and then tack on ‘not missing.'”
