Well, Joel Richard Clarke doesn’t sound very mob-ish.

Crazy she’s allowed visitors in the first week!

I’m really fascinated by normal people (non lifetime criminals) going to prison and how they acclimate. Especially someone who lived a privileged life. Martha Stewart rocked it (obviously easier when you only have a couple mos to live in prison than years). I’d be curious how Elizabeth fares for...

I hope they are found guilty and spend the rest of their lives in prison. Nobody can ever imagine the pain and suffering Lacey experienced. Was there no extended family that ever wondered about her? That ever came to the home?

I find his age at the time of the rapes to be interesting. He’s 35 now and had to have been between 18-19 yrs old. I wonder if the victims also described him at the time as very young. He looks young now, must have looked like a kid. He’s moved around a lot, so hopefully other agencies can...

That clarifies a lot. Will have a hard time defending his dna or saying it was consensual with 3 different women and same scenarios. He’s gonna need more than his fiancée’s rosary to get outta this one. I still these victims are so relieved he’s off the street.

My Lexus does too. I also have a Lexus app and it alerts me something is on the backseat after the car has been off a certain time or locked. It alerts to even empty shopping bags.

I agree. It’s hard for any/most of us to understand. I bet until it happens to most of the parents we read about in these stories, they felt the same way.

I didn’t realize he was that much younger. Regardless, seems almost impossible a relationship can weather that type of setup. Plus he’s from a really wealthy family, so he doesn’t necessarily need anything from her.

Yes totally makes sense. And probably no need to announce it onboard because it’s a booze cruise and not a day snorkeling cruise or something like that.

Well I was surprised to learn that sharks cluster around cruise ships. But jumping out of a cruise ship at night can never be that smart of an idea ykwim regardless of sharks. But alcohol, high school graduation, you’re literally on top of the world. He had a great life and it probably seemed...

If I knew I was reporting to Federal prison for 11 yrs, I’d be hitting the bottles too.

I’m curious about that too. The entire process is fascinating.

I haven’t read any of the details of the rapes. Was he someone who broke into apartments in the middle of the night, followed women home from bars, date rape, etc?

https://nypost.com/2023/06/01/nj-lawyer-matthew-nilo-appears-in-court-with-fiancee-over-boston-rapes/ Fiancée was with him at court hearing. Assume she is in disbelief. Article says they were recently engaged. Can’t imagine how she can process being over the moon ecstatic to this.

It’s egregious it took 15 years for the system to process DNA from rape victims. Love how family genealogy is solving crimes decades later. He was really young back then. Wonder if there’s more victims who will come forward. Feel bad for his fiancée, but hopefully she can one day realize she...

This story just makes me so sad. We can all think back to being teenagers and doing dumb things. I have a teen the same age and often look at him and his friends and shake my head with the idiot pranks they do. I brought this story up to my son just to make sure he knew it was stupid. Even...

That’s a very sincere press release. He really was well-liked and respected.

How does a mother go from being pregnant, presumably having a baby shower, giving birth to years later doing this. Does it start gradually and just progress? And it usually seems like there are two parental figures and other unaffected kids. How can both adults be so depraved that one adult...

Thank you for this kind post. We read so many horrible parenting stories, especially on WS. But many of us parents are just one bad judgment call or moment of forgetfulness away from being featured on a post. I assume most parents who forgot their children in their cars, including your friend...
