Terri's brother, Bobby, just reported that Terri is MISSING!! He has been waiting all day to see her, he got the green light, and she's gone...

News 9 reporter said she's gone back to hospice, but the family does not know where she is and has NO CONFIRMATION.

BREAKING...

I was meaning that that is the kind of lawyer Terri needs.

Terri's counsel can't call the Judges corrupt but obviously, we can voice our opinions here that the Judges in Pinellas County are CORRUPT. If they protected the person and property of Terri Schindler-Schiavo in the first place, Terri would be in much better shape as would her entire family. Felos found the perfect town, the perfect judges, the perfect client. Terri's attorney is a fine attorney. We should thank her too instead of doubting her. Terri was unrepresented for a number of years. That was when the devil's workshop was set up.

FV, someone wrote that 2 of the nurses are no longer with us. Do you know what was meant? They're deceased or not on Terri's side?

[floriduh voter]

Yes, I "saw the difference." I commented on the 'choice' difference.

Your original comment struck me as being anti-Hospice period. That is what I was responding to.

Hospice is a life saver for the living sometimes.

BTW, Mom-in-Law wanted to die at home & because of Hospice she got to.

Thank-you for your kind sympathy comments.

I believe they were married 3 or 4 years.

If you haven't seen this yet, there was a 3-part series by Newsday last March that tells more about what her life was like before her collapse:

The public needs to be made aware of the facts that MS didn't say anything about Terri's alleged desire to die when he won the malpractice suit. That MS is living with another woman and has kids with her. That he was living with her prior to this present battle ensuing ( reports are 7 years and it was just in 98 that he remembered that Terri wanted to die ).

This is SO true!! Case in point, my mom. I spoke with her this evening for the first time in a couple of weeks (she has been gone visiting extended family and just returned). She lives in Gainesville, a mere two hour drive from Clearwater. I have a sister in Tampa, and a brother in Winter Haven. Mom only gets the local newspaper but does have cable TV. She does not have the internet.

Until tonight when we spoke, she thought that this was a tough call. She finally said that she did see a picture of Terri and that she appeared to be smiling, so she just wasn't sure. When I told her that Terri hasn't had her teeth brushed in 10 years, or had gynecology exams, or wasn't even allowed to have flowers or be taken outside because her wheelchair had a broken wheel, she FLIPPED! She did not know any of that stuff!

Believe me, I filled her in on Michael's fiancee and child, the way Michael said nothing about Terri's so-called "intentions" during a jury trial for the malpractice suit, and the "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" order that was put on in 1993. My mom was grateful that there were people out there (like us!) who are trying to help get Terri's story out. If it weren't for the internet, I'd probably know very little myself.

The point is, the major media has been selecting which parts of the story that they will include, and which parts they'll leave out. It could be intentional, or it could be lazy reporters. We need to Freep our print media as well as televised, because my mom is a perfect example of a warm and caring person who might have sided with Michael because she was not informed of more. I asked her to please bring this up to her friends in conversation and she promised me she would (she has Garden Club and other small groups she socializes in).Terri IS being talked about in little circles of people, but they are still being misinformed by the media. We've got to keep working hard to change that.

What a juxtaposition. Michael Schiavo didn't like being called a murderer on the signs and Governor Bush didn't like the signs either. Greer and Felos are silent re: their signs - lawyers like being called EVIL and HITLER? We had four signs per person towards the end of the official vigil because we changed the message due to the fluid situation.

Good night, all. Please get some rest so you can come back tomorrow ready to fight the enemy.

The Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities gets access to all financial records. I think they're our best hope right now.

From this link posted earlier: http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/news/7079354.htm:

"Under federal law, the agency is granted strong investigative powers, including examining medical and court-sealed guardian financial records, and its findings of abuse or neglect would be conclusive and pre-emptive of any court or other agency determination, said Patricia Anderson, an attorney for Terri Schiavo's parents."
