UPDATE ON SAMANTHA (CA) Arrest made in murder!!!!!!!

Joe, I'm listening to the evening press conference congratulating everyone on what is certainly a benchmark in law enforcement. While the operation was a success, I can't help but feel the outcome was less than hoped for. I wish more than three of those who spoke would have expressed some frustration or grief that "the patient died."

Forgive me, but I'm still grieving for the loss, and I recognize I'm being uncharitable given their lack of sleep and long hours. My prayers for their continued diligence are with them. My prayers for Samantha's family will be going out for a long, long time.

[Semper911]

That didn't take long.

Can you believe that? The guy just said he was 100% sure this guy did this horrible crime, and some newschick is concerned about how they detained the bastard. Only in America.

[jackbill]

I have to say that I'm impressed. Instead of sitting around twiddling their thumbs and playing politics with other jurisdictions, they actually pooled all available resources and collectively focused on the task at hand. Amazing how that can work. They are an outstanding example to other law enforcement agencies around the country.

I'm sorry, I just can't share you enthusiam.The "law enforcement community" did nothing more than what they are freaking paid to do. My stomach is turning as I watch this "press conference". It is nothing but a damned bunch of bureaucrats making sure that they all get to share the limelight.

What disgusts me most is their TOTAL ignoring of the one person who solved this crime. That is the little traumatized 5 year old playmate of Samantha. Without her fantastic recollection of the identification of the perp and the car, "law enforcement" would still be chasing their tails. Why in the hell can't these bureaucrats give her at least one sentence of credit? Do they really need to hog it all?

[crystalk]

I hope they don't turn him loose again like they have so many times before.

[Howlin]

You are pretty familiar with those German words, aren't you?

[bvw]

Didn't know he was back ... that's good news.

PORN IS A VERY LARGE PART OF THE PROBLEM

Only to men and women who fear their own sexuality... or more instructively, that of others...

[John Jamieson]

They don't have the definitive DNA yet. They could have very good blood serology.

The Chief said he is 100% sure.

He taked about crime scenes, they may have a room full of blood somewhere.

[DAnconia55]

Your keeping the racists in line is commendable.

[sweetliberty]

There was some law enforcement official interviewed on Fox yesterday that said it could be expedited significantly by having the FBI forensics team and a lab on location rather than having to send DNA evidence to Washington for analysis.

[poweqi]

That would cause a riot!!

[4Freedom]

The source of all of these reverse racist attacks on the white race are most likely our resident, illegal immigration advocates.

They're afraid that this crime will cause Americans to demand that immigration levels be reduced and illegal immigration stopped, so that criminal background checks can be performed on anyone that wants to enter this country.

HOW MANY OF THESE DO YOU THINK HE MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR?

June 27, 2000 Molly Bish Warren, Mass. 17 Hispanic, Mustache APA White July 29, 2000 Irianna Dejesus Philadelphia PA 5 Hispanic Mustache APA April 03, 2001 Anthony Mastinez RIverside CA 10 Hispanic Mustache APA February 02, 2002 Danielle Van Dam San DiegSabre Sprng CA 7 Unknown FR HOME

Utah 14 Unknown FR HOME July 04, 2002 Dannarriah Finley Orange,Texas 4 Unknown FR HOME July 16, 2002 Samatha Runnion Orange CO CA 5 Hispanic, mustache APA Lt gr Honda Acrura (My choices in bold type)

After taking into consideration the similarities of the dumping site and conditions both bodies were found in, age of victims, and the close distance between the two victims and the suspect. Not to mention the alleged "phone tip" on the 26th of Feb. that led searchers to Danielle's body.
I believe it would be highly negligent for law enforcement to not be investigating the possibilities. Also, Danielle's body was found too late to be able to compare DNA or to know if she too had been "posed" after death. A killer that poses a body in that manner gets a strong feeling of power knowing that someone will view his actions.
He was denied that in Danielle's case and I believe that is why he acted out again so rashly and quickly, because the "act" was not complete, he could not go back into "normal mode" and live out the fantasy of his act over and over in his head.
Sorry about the rant but he seems to be very typical serial killer material and before he ever became a killer he probably molested too many children for me to want to even consider.

[crystalk]

Wish I could agree with you.

"We are sheeple, hear us bleat

In numbers too big to defeat!"

[hoosiermama]

Is that all part of the restructuring and the "NEW" FBI?

They now go to the people instead of making the people go through their bureaucracy.

IF SO, I'm impressed!

[OldBlondBabe]

I'd been wondering about his legal status as well; another fine import?

[sweetliberty]

Yes, they WERE doing their job and that seems to be fairly rare in this day and age, but I think what impressed me is the level of cooperation between everyone involved, not the least of whom were the little girlfriend of Samantha and the ex-girlfriend of Avila who tipped them off about him.

[crystalk]

PS Danielle was posed.

Did he say whether Samantha's left foot was missing?

[uncitizen]

if the question arose as to Avila's legal status, i'm sure the sheriff would use his caveat that "there are some aspects of the investigation that can't be revealed at this time"
