Your description of Chris Pixley as the "life-sized Ken doll", with Janie Weintraub as "his nightmare date Chuckie" had me rolling on the floor laughing!!!
There is a Psyches Knot blog..Is he/she a member here? Did you read the new Modesto Bee report of calls before Laci's disappearance between a Fresno detective and and Amber? The red herring report is a fun read..I have it on my favorites list.http://psychesknot.typepad.com/
