Seals (pictured left) was reported missing Wednesday evening, after her two young children were found home alone in their apartment.
In a statement to police, Brian Shaw (pictured right) said he got into an argument with Seals on Wednesday. Shaw admitted to police he hit and strangled Seals, 23, in her apartment at 160 Jasper Street and carried her body in a suitcase and left it in the backyard of a home on Avondale, near his house on Columbus Avenue.
Seals was Shaws former girlfriend and the mother of his four-year-old daughter, Essence. Police say Essence and Seals 17-month-old son were home at the time and Essence told police she saw her mother being dragged out of the apartment.
Shaw is a member of the cheerleading squad at Syracuse University and a fraternity brother at Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Seals was the great grand-niece of Syracuse Common Councilor Thomas Seals. Shaw has been charged with second-degree murder. Seals children were not physically injured and are staying with relatives.

That this guy killed his girlfriend is deplorable. That he was a cheerboy is just pathetic.

"Shaw blew it. He should have married her so that he had control of her, then smothered her or otherwise caused her to become brain-damaged."
That is exactly why I will not get involved in the Schiavo movement! You and others are using Terri's case for an anti-family, anti-husband political football, and you're publicly accusing Michael Schiavo of murder! That's a very serious accusation, and it's about as far left as you can get.

Shaw blew it. He should have married her so that he had control of her, then smothered her or otherwise caused her to become brain-damaged. Then he could later sue her doctors for millions and afterward get a friendly judge to decide she really wanted to die anyway, and the judge would force her to die of thirst.
That way the perp could murder her, collect money and become famous too.
For how many years are we going to have to put up with stupid, irrelevent comments like this?
Sheesh. Go post on AllTerriAllTheTime.com or something.

There was no accusation made. The original poster was just posting that this murderer had other options.
If you see a connection to the Schiavo case, maybe you understand that what MS and Greer are doing is wrong, wrong, wrong too!

And here's a copy of what the "original poster" wrote to go with your comment.

What is a guy with two kids doing at a fraternity? Shaw actually has only one kid, at least by the victim. The victim had two. That doesn't change anything though.
Seals was Shaws former girlfriend and the mother of his four-year-old daughter, Essence. Police say Essence and Seals 17-month-old son

"Try not to be an idiot. Try very hard... Oh well."
...another example of the arguments and character that typify your cause, which is certainly not pro-life.
