Thanks to Asai for sharing this breaking story. Read more here.

I guess that would definitely tell us the truth in this case, and leave no more doubts.

Request for Your Opinion: Poll

/in /by

I always struggle determining which cases I should put into the “Dishonesty caught to date before the truth was known” column on the right. With that, I would like your opinion.

Which of the following cases do you believe falls into this category? You can choose more than one option in the poll below, if desired. I have linked to my original posts so you can be the judge.

  1. Joran Van der Sloot (2 years prior to his confession)
  2. Matthew Gretz (10 months prior to his confession)
  3. Hans Reiser (no confession, 5 months prior to conviction for murder)

While I believe Joran Van der Sloot has confessed, can we say it is the truth now?

With Matthew Gretz, I give reasons why I had my doubts about him in my original post, but for some reason I didn’t out-and-out say that I didn’t trust him. I did, however, write enough that if Gretz was found to be innocent, I would have been told I missed it and I clearly would have, but I didn’t.

And with Hans Reiser, he was simply convicted of murder, but does that mean we know the truth?

Dave Hawk Charged with Murder

/in /by

It’s been two years on June 13, 2006 since Dave Hawk’s wife, Debbie, disappeared, and has never been seen again. This past Thursday, however, Dave was arrested and charged with her murder. Dave’s plea? Not guilty.

Dave was on Dateline NBC last May, and the man I saw was arrogant, manipulative and controlling yet in an odd twist he left his under age children at their mother’s house when mom wasn’t there after a weekend with the children.

Dave’s story just doesn’t add up. Read why I believe that here in my post from May 2007.

“I stabbed and intentionally killed my wife.”

/in /by

This morning Matthew Gretz admitted to killing his wife, Kira Simonian. You can read the latest news here.

I originally wrote about Gretz on Friday, July 27, 2007 after I saw him speak at Simonian’s vigil. His behavior didn’t sit right even though he didn’t tell a lie in the one video I had of him.

It was just last week when I looked at the case to see when it was going to trial that I realized why. Besides Gretz’ odd word choices, he was acting extremely paranoid. That paranoia was a big red flag that I don’t believe I was able to verbalize before, but was a big clue to why I didn’t trust him. It took a long time for that to percolate in my brain. I originally called it fear in my first post, but it wasn’t fear. It was paranoia.

My heart goes out to Kira’s family. I hope that they find some resolve in knowing the truth as painful as it is. At least they won’t have to go through a trial, and listen to his ridiculous denials anymore.
