[Howlin]

Do we have that? :-)

[Fitzcarraldo]

he had made those cement weights DAYS before

how convenient...

[Bonaparte]

"...he didn't get to run to Mexico or Canada."

Or worse, France. I'm sure they were expecting him and had Einhorn's old cottage well stocked with brie and wine.

I know how you feel. I was due with our first child in early February, right around when Laci was due. I had our son early, and this story continued to haunt me, and has been personally weighing on my soul. Every night I prayed for Laci and the baby. I will continue to do so.

And when I was pregnant, with my child about to be born, that was the time that little Adam Walsh disappeared, and then that horrifying story unfolded, right before my baby entered this world. I'll never ever forget thinking constantly during the last month or so of my pregnancy about that little boy and the Walshes losing what was their only child at that time.

Please allow me to jump in here. I was due with my son almost to the same day as the woman whose psychopath husband murdered her and their unborn son in Boston, about 2 weeks prior. Here we were, my DH and me, so esctatic over getting ready for our baby boy (which we knew ahead of time that we were having a son), and going to work one morning about 2 weeks before I delivered to be told by a coworker about the "tragedy" that happened the night before in Boston. Anyway, Uuon being caught (or just before he was to be arrested), he committed suicide.

Wasn't it Scott's father that said he made cement weights?

[Howlin]

Thanks, Neenah!

You can bet the double homicide special circumstance really frosts them at DU. That an unborn child be considered a human has to gall them!

DUers: "So Scott killed a fetus. So what? American soldiers murdered Iraqi babies!"

[Miss Marple]

Just caught up on the thread. I wasn't watching because I had my grandchildren here.

I don't know who said that this Scott is a pod person, but there are more than one of those around.

In the small county seat south of me we just had a guy who was convicted of murdering his son with premeditation.

He was angry at his girlfriend who had been on a cruise when his father died and didn't come home for the funeral. So, he married her and deliberately got her pregnant with the intention of murdering the baby after it was born, which he did.

Evil people are all over this country. Gives me the creeps.

[CheneyChick]

I'm just so speechless and sad. Reading the thread, unable to say much.

[Mo1]

Hi Lynn ... no I will never understand how people can be so evil

[uvular]

Man, I always thought this was probably a heat of the moment murder, but with what we're hearing tonight looks like the bas---- may have planned it-how sickening.

[juzcuz]

-Ankle weights-

Wait a minute... I wear them they have velcro and are used to build calf muscle...... Come On--

Ankle Weights are not enough...

[Wednesday's Child]

Another comparison...both Sp and preppy were huge compared to the petite women they killed..........
I can't imagine what Sp's defense will be....he has totally screwed up and convicted himself .....

[Canadian Outrage]

Actually in the hour before LKL and the news conference, they had Cyril Wecht, the forensic pathologist on and he right out said that Scott did NOT expect those bodies to ever surface. He reckoned that there were weights of some kind the inference being cement. Dr. Lee said he had a case where the perp had tied a piece of wire around the neck and weighted it and when the decomposition got to a certain point the head decapitated . Who knows, maybe the rest of her is still at the bottom of the Bay attached to cement weights??!!

Well, the local police in the other case (from college) determined that the deceased girl's boyfriend (Paul Flores) was the most likely perpetrator. However, not enough evidence to charge or convict (of course). One correction: the deceased was not Scott's girlfriend.

The fact is that Scott Peterson abruptly left a scholarship at this university and came home to his parents, where he continued his education at a local school.

Makes one wonder if the local police in the other case did not dig hard enough.........Her name was Kristen Smart. :(

[Neenah]

you're welcome

[Howlin]

Jeffrey Feiger said he is "dead in the water."

[uvular]

Feiger just said that Scott is 'dead in the water'. Wow what a choice of words.

[Dolphy]

Don't worry, I am sure you are neither because of your Westerfield observations. Many people I know in that area agree that there is more to that story.

[stlnative]

What is the heaviest angle weight they sell? (Yes they would not be enough, but they would help if he used concrete anchors also... maybe he used them on her wrists?)
