I have read cases where DNA evidence has turned out to be wrong (can't recall names offhand), and other cases where DNA evidence has set people free. Either way you do need to be careful with DNA samples that are old and/or not been preserved properly as the semen sample was. Questions have...

The trial is finally underway. They have selected jurors and I think the evidence is being heard now. If Hennis is acquitted, then that's that - no more proceedings against him. If he is convicted the worst he can face is the death penalty again. But the military must have appeal proceedings.

I also remember a sentence in the book about the baby-sitter mentioning that Mrs. Eastburn had been receiving threatening and harassing phone calls prior to her murder. Just like the other neighbor - or was it the paper lady who saw the blue van in front of the Eastburn house that morning? I...

I think I used "Tim Hennis Eastburn murders" in mine. I'm glad you are finding my advice useful.

I discovered it myself recently. Go to the Google homepage, click on the "more" drop-down menu, then click "even more". You will come to a list and click on "Alerts". That takes you to the Google alert facility. Mind what keywords you put in for your Google alert or you can end up with alerts...

What I did was create a Google alert for Tim Hennis. You go to the Google homepage and you will find facilities there to create a Google alert for any topic you want. Then when a new piece of news comes up on your particular topic, you will receive an email notification and a link to that...

Things are heating up now. The Google alerts say that the defence tried to have the ID witnesses (Cone, Cooke and the late Margaret Tillison) declared unreliable but their evidence is being heard although Cone and Cooke were discredited at the second trial. Still, the real proof of the pudding...

The trial was scheduled to begin 15 September, but the Defence is now making another motion to delay the trial until January. The judge says he will make his decision on the matter in 1-2 weeks.

Definitely NOT a consensual act of sex between Hennis and Mrs Eastburn, then. But what about this jazz about lack of trauma to Mrs Eastburn's vaginal area or whatever it was?

Yes, it is really annoying that this case occurred just before DNA testing became available. The tests available at the time were not conclusive enough to rule anyone in or out, and by the time DNA testing was available at the second trial, the test could not be done on the semen because it had...

Mr Hennis and Mrs Eastburn have consensual sex? I very much doubt that - there is no evidence of their having a relationship, just a piece of business over the sale of the dog. The lack of trauma may be due to the attacker forcing Mrs Eastburn to comply and stay quiet and still while he...did it.

No official news reports as yet, but the sitcoms have confirmed it: the case is solved!:clap: Marvin Maple has been arrested in San Jose and is being extradited back to Tennessee! He's probably wishing he'd died of that stroke he had a few years back. :behindbar Bobby and Christi have been...

I found another link to another article on the Baskin case: http://unsolveditn.blogspot.com/2009/01/tips-sought-in-old-tennessee-kidnapping.html

They have probably had to be upfront about what happened to every employer they have since had, so that it doesn't come out later when some parent or student catches a re-run of U.M. That must be very hard to do. The Baskins probably have to carry a letter or reference from the Murfreesboro...

The Murfreesboro Post has kindly informed me that Mark Baskin told them that DCS did interview Michael and ruled out the possibility that he was being abused as well. :)

How has all of this affected the Baskins' relationship with Debbie's family? I know during the UM interview, she starts to say something, stops, then says, "I don't have a family anymore" (or something along those lines). Does the Maple family side with the grandparents, causing a rift between...

I was thinking back to what blueraider1 said about Baskin Snr sexually abusing Bobby. I don't know if Baskin Snr was accused of abusing the children as well; there is no reference to it in the online newspaper articles or the TV segments on the case. The only other mention I have seen comes from...

I think the judge that gave them custody (with no proof and not even talking to the Baskins) was asked to step down, or he left the bench on his own...something. I'm not sure, but someone on this thread probably knows. I don't think he's a judge any longer, though. A contact at the Baskin...

I have been over to the Murfreesboro article again. Blueraider1's presentation of the other side of the story has been deleted! :silenced: Well, that says a lot! I wonder who deleted it? I doubt it was blueraider1 who removed it so it must have been the murfreesboro paper. Blueraider1's...

I remember the "vaseline incident" from the UM thread. This came from a second Maple family member calling herself spit^fire. She demanded that we ask the Baskins about the "vaseline incident". At this point the thread was locked. One of the other correspondents from that thread told me that...
