My comment: It's just too bad we can't torture this guy to make him say where she is!!!!

If she's dead, hopefully it happened in MN. I think that would make him eligible for a Federal death sentence, that option not being available here in the land of 10,000 leftists.

Do you suppose this murder will convince ND to make a three strikes law? If they'd had it, the perp would still be in jail, and Dru would be alive.

It couldn't be any more convincing.

That may be at play here. His lawyer might be trying to best arrange a confession for a scenario where she was killed in a non death penalty state. I hope she's still alive, but as more time goes by, it doesn't look good.

That surprises me, I would have thought ND was a conservative state..

Yes, I heard on cable TV last night that someone said this guy (if he kidnapped and murdered her) would be facing a possible federal death sentence.

I got the impression that that was because of the kidnapping part. The feds, of course, have been deep in the kidnapping penalties ever since the famous kidnappings of the early 20th century.

It would be nice to think whoever did this to this poor girl would be executed for it. And just think--there would be less waiting time till execution, if it were a federal death penalty. (B/C the appeals and coram nobis actions wouldn't have to wend their way through state courts first.)

Pretty sure it happened in Dakota, not sure if N or S.
