I don't mean to be redundant, but I really really urge everyone to watch this, it is FULL of info from the reporter who regularly covers the police beat. Just go past the first few minutes until you see the anchor fooling with her hair. Then the dialogue starts. Unbelievable. Answers a lot of questions we've been knocking around.... ChickP

I listened. But, I didn't hear any answers. Can you tel what jumped out at you? Also I read the article mentioned above about Christmas Without Somer, and found a quote from an older article reposted about the $14 an hour single Mom who will live the rest of her life feeling like she played a role in this. And I found the person from Australia's quote about losing Mom too, um, er peculiar. For the rememberingsomer website anyways! Lastly, the first person who comments also is troubled as we have been again today over the fundraising. Outside of paying for a funeral (which was donated) or paying for an investigation ( taxpayer funded), this person could not justify apparantly, the need for them, either. Thanks ChickP

Are you saying this happened at the viewing or funeral? If so That's unbelievable!
I would think the complete and utter devastation over her child's murder would be so overwhelming and engulfing that nothing else in the entire world would matter at that time. BBM

No, it wasnt at the visitation or the funeral. PC did the glaring then. This was more recently.

The video that ChickP posted mentioned a reception back at the Church following the burial. Was ST invited to attend and did he? If so, how was he treated by the pastor, others in a more informal setting?

Sadnpod, I guess I was thinking from the perspective of a mother with only one child, which is me. Of course, if I had other children, I would not want them to be sad - it would break my heart even more to see them always sad. I would want THEM to have fun, but I don't think I would be having any myself just 3 weeks into the most horrible tragedy one can experience. I don't think I would be strong enough to go on TV and talk nor go to fund raisers. I don't see how these fund raisers are helping Somer now - that is supposedly why DT is attending them, isn't it? For Somer? All MO, of course.

I wasnt being snarky.. I hope you know that. I was seriously trying to answer how she could have fun. It was the only possibility that I can fathom, because, like you, I cant imagine ever having fun again.

This video does not work for me.

At the divorce hearing? Or custody hearing?

 

[houndstooth]

This video does not work for me.

Try clicking on any one of the boxes to the right. That's what I did and it played. There is a lot of silence but it is moving the entire time.

I used the one from the cnn footage base, but it features Jennifer Waugh and local broadcast.

I would like to add something here regarding expressions of intimidation and rage. I had read (was it here, 4merNaybor or SAD) that at the funeral, CPC was staring daggers at the poster trying to intimidate the person. The same person said that CPC stepped on Samuel's foot ON PURPOSE. That AT looked at her dad and mouthed the words "I'm sorry, I can't" in reference to talking to or going over to him. That she was very upset. Many other things that happened that were unbelievably horrendous at the funeral of a little murdered child.

Well, I have heard may priests talk about the antics of ex-spouses and etc. at mostly weddings and funerals. People never cease to amaze me. What continues to outrage me is how CPC has taken on the role of human shield between the kids and their father. And how DT has allowed (or encouraged?) it.

Of course, I have no links or factual things to back up what I am saying. But all you have to do is put together the whole scenario with what everyone has offered up here, and you would conclude that sadly this information is more likely than not correct.

So anyone who is offended at my opinion, feel free to do whatever.

I think your talking about me, but I didnt say it was PC that "stepped" on ST's foot. I dont know the persons name, IIRC he said he was DT's uncle.

Another interesting remark about cutting out part of the video. I hope these videos help WS'ers in contemplating the peripheral events going on in connection with the case.

We were asked not to attend and the pastor offered to buy us lunch at sonnys.

Say What?! I just about swallowed one of my Houndsteeth! See, that's why I asked how the pastor treated him specifically. I thought of all people he would have set an example of compassion for ALL of the immediate family.

Was he planning on leaving the reception to take ya'll to Sonny's? I thought he would do a little pastoral counselling or whatever. I gathered from comments from the reporter that there wasn't time to do this beforehand, he was "away from the principal family members". I could only hear the one side of conversation with J.W. and Mary Baer. That's why I asked if maybe he made up for it at the reception. So the pastor just intimated ST was not welcome for some reason? Gyah!

ETA: Heaven's to Murghatroydd, even! I had to add something to express my utter confoundment, if you'll excuse me.

Well, the video sure is long! The things that interested me where the reporter going into detail about why LE doesn't want to release COD (lots of people throwing this question around), the inside information on the funeral, did you notice when she referred to a male who was "there but not really near Somer? I thought she was talking about ST, but didn't SAD say ST was in the front row? Just little things here and there. Making a point of saying Diena told her if she had ANY idea anything that happened could be possible, she would NEVER have let Somer walk, etc., etc. I now am interested in raw or unedited videos and transcripts because a few are requesting editors to cut significant portions out and I wonder why??? Also, I watched something about ST where there was a donations acct set up for him to have travel expenses and etc.

DT's remark about her $14.00 an hour job is ironically made after she has quit because the bottomless source of funds can assure her that she won't have to worry about money for some time. I hope her remarks were sincere. What do you think?

You are very welcome.

Now with my usual self-examination of intentions and my own shortcomings, I am wondering if she wanted to have fun because the Pastor at the funeral kept encouraging everyone to laugh, have fun to heal?

Sorry SAD, another example of video/article overload. The person who stepped on his foot did it intentionally, I am sure I read that. It may not have been just you. The person who posted it was vehemently angry and none of your posts have been like that. You try to be fair and balanced.
