Astronaut in 'love kidnap plot' [With photos]

she just wanted to scare her rival

The way she looks would scare paint off a wall.

[LiveFree99]

That clown would have done an even more inept job than she did.

[gcruse]

"If a person has a split personality their partner..."

...may be themself!!!

[altura]

I'm curious as to how they decided to charge her with attempted murder...

seems like a stretch.

[gcruse]

Because she had equipped herself with all the accessories necessary for subduing, restraining, murdering, dismembering and disposing of someone? Nah. Too obvious. They used a Oiuja Board.

[Doe Eyes]

That's the part I don't understand - she couldn't make a five minute stop to use a restroom??

I'd be willing to bet shuttle astronauts wear "nappies".

[gcruse]

Yes, they do. IMO, she wore nappies because she had to get gas a few times. But rather than subject herself to the store's security cameras, she elected to pay at the pump. Unfortunately, this denied her access to the restrooms.

More and more rest stops have security cameras too, so she cut the gordian knot and went with a diaper.

[SunkenCiv]

Capt Nowak told police she just wanted to scare her rival into talking about her relationship with Cmdr Oefelein... Nasa biographies list Capt Nowak as married with three children and Cmdr Oefelein as single with two children.

Just to scare her into talking, hence the 1000 mile car trip wearing a diaper and a disguise.

[HIDEK6]

The important question is, "How long did it take her to drive the 900 miles (or, "What's the record?").

Maybe someone might want to try to beat it.

[LowNslow]

Military, NASA, and MSM will shun appropriate UCMJ 134 violations by the trio, but will effectively end careers.

Not the act, just too much bad PR.

[colorado tanker]

And where the heck's her hubby?

According to a story I read this morning, they are separated.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Oefelein was divorced in 2005

[pepsionice]

I'll bet she was on some kind of medication for the past twelve months...which her old husband probably had all the suffering he could take in the marriage and she probably had all kinds of dreams for this other astronaut buddy of hers. She is finished with the agency...and to likely get a 20-year pension deal with the Navy. I'll bet she ends up with NBC as some kinda analyst in the end.

[bmwcyle]

We have a match.

[auto power]

Obviously his judgment hasn't improved...

[balch3]

This kind of thing happens when women leave their God-ordained roles as nurtureres of the family. And it's no surprise that Novak was a Clinton appointee. He probably appointed a lot of homosexuals at NASA too.

[HitmanLV]

That's one selfish, sick, pathetic woman.

I feel sorry for her, and fight the natural urge to make fun of her. Sex can motivate people to do really batty things.
