GUILTY UT - Destiny Norton, 5, Salt Lake City, 16 July 2006

[LillyRush]

They asked the wife about that in the audio interview, her response was that it smelled like it always did. Now that may have not been a good smell. In her myspace blog she refers to her house being a disaster and her husband refusing to help clean.

Thanks for that info. I hadn't listened to the interview because it was taking too long to load for me.

 

[shopper]

I know, I can't believe that she thinks her husband was set up. I don't agree with any of her statements. I was trying to keep my opinion out of it and just state what she had said for those who couldn't access the audio report.

You did a great job! She's an idiot IMO. If she wants to believe/support him, that's her problem. But to go out and make asinine comments and defend A CHILD MURDERER and foolishly think that people are going to buy any of that crap, then she's in for a rude awakening.

She claims he was abusive and he's been arrested for domestic violence in the past, but she doesn't believe he did this. Sure this girl might love him but she also has a young child and needs to use some common sense. If he did abuse her, it seems to me she would feel some relief now that he is in jail if not for her own safety at least for the baby's. I hope she has a good support system but from some of the things I've read it sounds like she's estranged from her family.

I found a MySpace site for what appears to be Craig Gregerson at
http://www.myspace.com/46029946
It looks like he did nothing with it after creating it late last year. The only thing that appears even vaugely ominous is the statement “I Don’t Want Kids.”

They may have already confiscated her computer.

She logged on to myspace today, I looked all through the information and photos she had posted, then later today it was changed to a private page.

I hope she has a good support system but from some of the things I've read it sounds like she's estranged from her family.

I don't remember which, but in her myspace or yahoo pages she wrote that Craig had agreed that Catherine's mother could see the baby once a week in a public place (the library) and that she (Catherine) was glad because she could see her mother, but Craig didn't have to.

She's one really mixed up girl.

 

[BillyGoatGruff]

Thanks for posting that, Newkid. There are so many things wrong w/ her interview its crazy.

She said he never hurt her child- according to court papers, he threw her across a bed. She said he never admitted he did it, according to police he DID say he did it. She has never known him to be violent? That is a flat out lie. She doesn't appreciate people prejudging him? The guy had a BODY in his BASEMENT, how are we not to judge? He "steers clear of kids" and only likes his own child, ok that is a red flag. Did he not trust himself around kids for fear he may hurt them? She said he had been sick the last couple of days- Gee...could that be because he had a BODY in his BASEMENT??

Also, she said he was scheduled to go for a polygraph and she told him to call or come over when he got back- WHY did he have to go for a polygraph if no one suspected him? Were they just giving them to people in the neighborhood? I doubt it! I think they had a suspicion, asked him to come in, and during that time he told them what he did which provided them with the probable cause to search the house. The probable cause warrant says exactly what he did to her, so obviously he told them BEFORE they searched the house. She is living in DENIAL!

Judging from her blogging she may not be the most educated of women. The rampant misspelling of even relatively simple words makes it extremely difficult to read what she has to say. Its almost as if she was spelling things phonetically. The fact several words are repetedly misspelled the same way suggests these were not typos (god knows it looks like I type with my elbows sometimes).

Methinks child services is probably stepping in even as we type.

In one of the articles posted above, it stated that one of the "domestic violence charges" was against Catherine's mother... It's no wonder they don't want anything to do with that family and have probably banged their heads against the wall trying to pull Catherine away from him that they've given up. Until Catherine accepts what a monster he is there really isn't anything her family can do.

This from a SLC news source dated July 17th,
http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=365182


In the hours right after Destiny disappeared, about 30 neighbors organized into search teams of two or three. >Cadie Gregerson, Neighbor; "I came over and I talked straight to the mother. Then I went and took my daughter inside and then went straight out to go look."

I certainly hope so. I read the myspace account of hers and feel she is immensely immature without a working knowledge of any relationship much less the needs of a child.This bothers me. I can see her stepping out to the next available guy too readily without a true idea of her husband's horrific nature. This puts her and the child at tremendous risk.Just tremendous!

Not trying to be mean but some education is called for and I hope CPS tries to help. Her family seems to fall on deaf ears so it will take an outsider.

 

[ketel0ne]

I would not be suprised if she is not named an accessory after the fact. The last 3 mins of that interview are the most telling IMO. She is actually coached at the end by someone else on how to be condolent and how to seperate from the situation.

It is very possible she knew of the act (or Craigs version of events), but not the location of the body. She has said in the past that she went over to help straight away etc. At the end of the interview she interjects that she was with a friend from California and creatrs separation for the moments when Destiny disappeared. Remember this occured at 830pm and by that night Craig is at her apartment.

I could be completely off base but her version is starting to possibly unravel.

There are congenital conditions that cause premature tooth decay even in a child getting appropriate dental care. My daughter has hypoplastic molars and we are continually having to get caps, even on baby teeth. My daughter is adopted, but I still would hate to think someone would judge me as a mother because she has a silver tooth or two (or a mouthful).

I didn't understand all the complexities at first. I do now, I am sorry if any post cast an undeserved explanation. I just didn't know.

Education is everything.

It sounds as if the police dept. did an awful investigating job on this case ....I would think they would search immediate areas first, especially houses no one lived in....:banghead:

The mayor is quoted as saying the police searched the guy's home the first day but did not find her. I don't know if the mayor knows what he is talking about or not. He also stated that she was dead within one hour....

Am I reading this right? She is 14 yrs old? Is this the mother of the baby or Craigs sis?

This is from your link:
Cadie's profile says she is 22 and married. There are many references to her delight as a mother to 1-year-old Lilly, but her marriage to Craig appears troubled.

I was trying to link to the myspace for Cadiesworld at the truecrime link. It must be old or something. The link to Cadiesworld says...
"Im wanted Im hot Im everything your not, Who Am I just guess Guys wanna touch my...."

I've seen a comment online from someone who apparently knows Cadie's extended family that she (Cadie) recently--meaning as of the last week--put her daughter up for adoption in hopes of "saving" her relationship with this since he didn't want kids. Don't know if it's true or not, but if it is then that's a potentially seriously dyfunctional/unhappy childhood adverted.
