In another article on this story, they said that the husband reported the woman missing in 1965. Police later learned that she hadn’t actually been seen since 1961. This probably struck them as a tad suspicious.
Anyway, before I feel too bad that husbands are eyed in cases like this, I’d have to know: When a married woman mysteriously vanishes or is murdered - how often is it the husband?
Another reason the English language needs another word so we can tell the difference between the singular and plural “you”. I like hearing “y’all” down south and in Texas, and “yunz” in PA Dutch country (Pittsburgh is more like “yinz”), but the “youse” of NY/NJ has come to sound low-class.
I hear you. My problem with “folks” is that it made its appearance in the news media right around the time Obama got elected. You’ll notice he uses the word a lot, I guess to sound earthy or something. It’s a clear case of the media aping their hero in my opinion.
Wow,thats terrible.Prayers for the family especially the little ones.
Your brother is a lucky guy.
It is very strange if he waited 4 years to report.
From the little I followed of the trial I probably would have found Peterson not guilty. I am pretty darn sure that he murdered his pregnant wife, but the hard evidence seemed very scant. You really couldn't use DNA, because of course a reason could be given for his wife's DNA to have been in their house and vehicles. The guy certainly came across as evil scum, but I didn't see the conclusive evidence.
Actually, it appears she made a pretty good choice.
very sad.
I’ve used the word folks all of my life. I don’t know where I picked it up but I have been coast to coast and border to border. I don’t say boy and girls when I am speaking to the men and the ladies.
lol
Husband also suspected of murder, and the neighbors wouldn't let their kids play with his kids.

Folks is a fine word but a bit informal for news media. I don’t think it’s coincidence that they only started using it after Obama featured it in his speeches and remarks.
