FWIW - I'm around NL's age and I remember the Laci Peterson case pretty vividly. It was just so sad and heartbreaking that I took notice of it. My parents watched the news every night at 6, and I remember all of the big news stories from my childhood. So, I don't think it's necessarily...

3 weeks pregnant would be very early, but home pregnancy tests CAN pick up very small amounts of HCG (depending on the brand 10-25 MIU/hcg.) If she had a 28 day cycle / ovulated on day 14 / got a positive 6 days before her period was due on the 28th day, she could get a positive test on day 22...

I don't have much to add, but we had a case like that in FL - an OB's son got his girlfriend/fling pregnant and slipped her an abortion pill under the guise of an antibiotic (he said his father, who was her doctor, asked him to give it to her *his father did not* and I guess typed the label and...

On the DM article (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2726276/Father-three-girlfriend-intended-physically-harm-sexually-abuse-two-Amish-girls-snatched-roadside-stall-holding-captive-property-overnight.html) There is a comment from someone named Gail who says (even though I have not read...

I've been thinking about the man that drove them home, and while I think some people will find it 'unorthodox', I understand it. I don't know how close his property was to the perps, but if he was a neighbor, and the perps said that they would be back soon, he may have not wanted to risk waiting...

I REALLY hope that they find, arrest, and prosecute them to the FULL extent of the law, because next time, I doubt these perps will make any 'mistakes' and it will end differently. I'm not trying to be a downer, but I hope that they do not get off lightly. It seems to be recurring theme that so...

My parents had these sets of books growing up - I can't remember the names, but they were series of short stories and there were several books. Anyway, I do have a point - one of the stories was about a girl who was abducted, and she just started praying out loud in the back seat. All of the...

Nothing insightful to say, really - I've been following this thread, though. I refreshed and saw the header change to 'Found Safe' before the page loaded, and was so relieved. Thanks WebSleuths! You guys are amazing. :) I am so glad these girls are okay - the Amish are really amazing. They...

He could have been on Viagra in combination with the Androgel to help with the erection issue. MOO.

I am catching up, but I just wanted to add my two cents on a few parenting related issues: -The car seat buckle - I don't think he would have been able to let himself out of the car seat. My kids can't, and they're his age and a few years older. We have Britax car seats, which are nicer than...

Sorry if this has been mentioned, and not that it really matters, but did he buy the light bulbs so that he would have a seemingly 'legitimate reason' to go to the car and check on Cooper? It's been speculated that he may not have been dead and that's why he didn't 'discover' him then - but...

I'm certainly not defending her - but if she was controlled, which IMO, it seems she was (and it fits, to me, his profile that he would marry a women who would be easily controlled and manipulated) then I think she KNEW what happened because she knew from talking to him, his internet searches...

You know.. I've been thinking about it. LH KNEW he left Cooper in the car, per the daycare and her reaction when Cooper wasn't there. Didn't she say that she did an internet search (per her disclosure to the police) because she was 'worried that it could happen.' I wonder if [modsnip] had...

I kept writing and erasing my thoughts on this case. Really, it can be summarized into one sentence: How could you do this to an innocent baby? Since he looked up videos, read and researched his chosen method of murder, he knew how badly he would suffer. And he didn't care. He didn't...

I see what you're saying, but I found this info - it's a bit dated (2007) but I think it's interesting: Since 1998, charges were filed in 49 percent of cases. In those that have been decided, 81 percent resulted in convictions or guilty pleas, and half of those brought jail sentences - the...

Reproductive technology is very expensive - IUI with donor sperm would only be $350-$1500, from what I can see. It looks like something like ICSI/IVF would easily be $7000-$14,500. I don't know their financial portfolio or anything, but since both parents worked and it seems HD was paying for...

To me, any way, he wasn't expecting to be looked at as a suspect. So, he probably didn't think that surveillance footage, etc would be looked at. At least, not at first. I think once the day went on, and he realized that someone else wasn't going to find his son, he panicked. This is what I...

I know that it can be dependent on their financial situation as well - ICSI is more expensive than say doing IUI with donor sperm, for example. Cost may have been a consideration as well. Because, I am not extremely well versed in this beyond conversations with other women, but if I'm not...

I didn't phrase that quite right - I meant that his wife has called him the "leader" and so, it seemed that she was subservient in the relationship. Whether this had to do with religious beliefs or a lifestyle that was suited to them, or a combination of both, I don't know. I supposed I'm...

I am ridiculously holistic with my children. They eat whole, organic foods. They play with wood, made in the EU or US toys. They have minimal plastic toys (gifts from others), they drink from glass or stainless steel, eat on plates like normal people vs plastic plates. We exercise, garden, play...
