Casey and Caylee Anthony

/in /by

A reader has asked for my opinion on Casey Anthony. This is a strange and haunting story coming out of Orlando. Apparently, from what I read in the news, a 2-year-old little girl, Caylee, has been missing for five weeks, but her mother, Casey, never reported her missing.

The police have questioned Casey, but all they get are lies on top of more lies. Friends describe Casey as a “habitual” and “compulsive” liar (Fox News).

Casey is telling police that she left her daughter with a babysitter five weeks ago, and when she went to pick up her daughter, the babysitter and her daughter were gone, yet in a strange twist, she told no one. Instead, she continued on in life as if nothing was wrong. She lied to her family and friends until they became suspicious.

Read moreWhen police went to investigate the apartment where the babysitter supposedly was, they found a unit that has been vacant for months. Nothing is adding up.

Casey’s mother tried to track down the babysitter, and found her, but when the police asked her if she recognized photos of Casey and Caylee, and she said she did not.

I have been unable to find any video of Casey talking to police.

Police, however, are saying “It should be noted that at no time during any of the…interviews did the defendant show any obvious emotion as to the loss of her child.”

Clearly, anyone can see something is terrible amiss with this mother. Logically, one plus one doesn’t equal two. A mother who cares about her daughter would be concerned, would report her missing, and would tell the truth. But this is not happening with Casey.

Either Casey doesn’t care, or she is seriously ill, and suffers from a mental illness. Neither of which can be ruled out.

I don’t think I have anything noteworthy to contribute to this case at this time, but if anyone sees any video of Casey or anyone else important to this investigation talk, I’d be more than happy to share what I see. If I can help, I will gladly do so.

I did see some video footage of Casey online from Nancy Grace, and in that video Casey is gloating as the cameras pan on her as she is being led by police from one location to another (starting at time marker :05). Her eyes are glowing with excitement. She is clearly enjoying being in the spotlight, and being deceptive about her daughter.

Can we assume Casey killed her daughter? No, we can’t. A number of things could have happened to her daughter–many of which are horrible to think about, but Casey definitely knows the truth and she isn’t sharing it, and that doesn’t bode well for Caylee.

Ryan Ferguson Seeks New Trial

/in /by

This week there is a hearing going on for Ryan Ferguson. His attorneys are requesting a new trial because they say due process wasn’t followed, and he had ineffective assistance of counsel.

Ferguson’s defense team is putting forth some interesting information. Several new valuable pieces of information are being presented.

Read more

Shawna Ornt (a trib employee) testified that she repeatedly told then-Boone County Prosecutor Kevin Crane that a man she saw near the body was neither Ferguson nor Erickson. She said Crane scared her, and she did not know what she was allowed to say to attorneys or in the trial. So she did not tell anyone else during the trial or the deposition.

“He made me feel like I was wrong,” Ornt said of Crane. And Ornt did not tell Ferguson’s attorney because she didn’t know whether she was allowed to (source below).

Also during the trial, the janitor at the trib, Jerry Trump, pointed to Ferguson and said the man he and Ornt saw was Ferguson. But now the employee, Christine Varner, who got Trump the job is saying something different.

She (Varner) said Trump told her that he was standing in a lit dock area next to the Tribune’s building and roughly 30 feet from Heitholt’s car, and the two people were standing near the car in the dark, so he couldn’t identify them. Varner said after she saw coverage of the trial, where Trump pointed to Ferguson, she contacted the public defender’s office.

“It just bothered me,” she said (source below).

Also, a bouncer at the bar where Chuck Erickson said that he and Ferguson went to after the murder testifies that he has never seen the bar open as late as it would have been according to the testimony of Chuck Erickson.

And there is a more. A man by the name of Ronald Hudson, in the court paperwork, talks about running into a man named Clarence Mabon, who talked about being involved in an incident where a man got killed — in connection to the incident with the newspaper reporter.

Much of the testimony completely contradicts what Chuck Erickson wants us to believe, and gives doubt to the fact Ryan Ferguson was involved.

There is much more developing on this case, and I am thrilled to hear it. I have always believed Ryan Ferguson is innocent, and I have not believed Chuck Erickson’s story either. You can read my original opinion here from February of 2006.

Check out the details for yourself. There is a lot here!

Ryan Ferguson’s Appeal Papers

Nancy Cooper

/in , /by

There is a story breaking out of Cary, North Carolina, that a woman, Nancy Cooper, age 34, disappeared on Saturday, and was found dead on Monday. Police are calling it a homicide.

From what I have heard and read, it doesn’t look good for her husband, Brad. They are searching the family house, and they are telling people they don’t believe Nancy’s homicide was a random act of violence. They also have a police car supposedly tracking Brad’s movement, but they say it is to keep him safe. The police, however, stop short of calling him or anyone a suspect.

Most people, I suspect, are suspicious of Brad, and I am no exception.

Brad is acting strange. He has declined to speak at several media events. He also didn’t report his wife missing: A friend did.

If you find any video of Brad talking and would like my opinion, feel free to send me the link.

Breaking News: Ramseys Cleared?

/in , /by

MSNBC is reporting that a new DNA test called “Touch DNA” (that wasn’t available back in 1996) was recently run on JonBenet’s leggings, and the results, they say, clear the Ramsey family.

The discovery, from a new testing method, prompted the Boulder district attorney’s office to release a letter officially clearing the Ramsey family, including John, Patsy and their immediate relatives, of any involvement in the December 1996 death of 6-year-old JonBenet.

What I find odd is that apparently this DNA match is a match to a DNA test they ran in 1997. That’s what is written in the article. So with that, I have to ask what is new? Why the change of heart? Was the old DNA in question? Or is something else going on here? I’m rather perplexed to say the least.

You can read the DA’s statement here at the bottom of this article.

I have not trusted the Ramseys from day one (and still don’t), and I write about one of their interivews here.

Jailhouse Interview with Hans Reiser

/in /by

Here is a video of Hans Reiser talking about leading the police to Nina’s body, and why he lied in court about her being in Russia. Thanks HP for the link!

Clearly, Reiser is hoping his apologies and softness in demeanor in this ninth hour before sentencing will influence his sentencing hearing.

I don’t think he helped himself here in anyway whatsoever. Do you?
