Agreed. I'm not sure how many more times or different ways the LE sources quoted in the article could have said that they have no evidence and no clear suspects - all they have is a plan to keep investigating. I'm not sure how you reconcile the statements of Staton and other LE quoted in the...

Actually, it is improper - and a violation of every law enforcement agency code of ethics that I am aware of, including the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office - for LE to disclose confidential information gathered in the course of an investigation other than for legitimate investigative purposes...

Everything you said was pretty much my point. Until we know what the e-mails said, I'm not jumping to any conclusions. Regarding the line bolded by me, the police only should have shown the e-mails if they had a legitimate investigative purpose in doing so, otherwise it would have been a...

No. I don't see the difference. The comment my secretary made today is something any parent dealing with the everyday frustrations of raising kids says. If, God forbid, anything happened to her daughter a few months from now, I would not be thinking back on that comment and saying, "Oh my God...

Call me disgusting then and just about every other parent I know. Just last night I told my son I was going to smack him upside the head if he didn't clean his room. This morning I heard my secretary say that she was going to kill her daughter when she got home. Over the weekend a woman told me...

You make some good observations and raise some important questions. Life, people, motivations and relationships are complicated multi-layered things and I think that if we are ever to come to a meaningful understanding of the tragedy that took Kyron and learn something from it, that can only...

I read it once and caught the point that the only e-mail the reporter had access to was one that included complaints about Terri's relationship with Kaine. The "extreme hatred" was just Desiree's characterization of what she claims to have been shown by the police. It may not be considered...

Truer words were never spoken, you just can't take isolated statements or actions, without any knowledge of the context, spin a story around them and expect to arrive at a real depiction.

Lots of people here faulting Terri for complaining but, let's be real, isn't this what women do? (WARNING: This post is payback for all of the "men are clueless horndogs" posts on the other thread.) My wife has a very comfortable life, 3 great kids and a prince of a husband. But no marriage is...

If your theory is true - and like so many floating around there's no facts to support it so, who knows - it says just as much, if not more about Kaine. As a man, I may be more skeptical about the irresistable power of women to manipulate men in this way. I know a few single guys who would take...

This is a really interesting topic. We may never find out but I'd love to know what the rationale was for divulging the texts to any third-party. Hopefully they can point to some legitimate law enforcement pupose for showing those texts to Kaine, otherwise the release of that information...

Moved this over from the "sexting" thread. Those aren't extraordinary circumstances, those are unchallenged allegations made by Kaine to obtain sole custody - remember there has been no independent proof put before the court. If Kaine, a competent adult represented by counsel and, presumably...

I'm really puzzled by the logic behind your conclusion (BBM). You seem to be admitting (finally) that the parties can reach their own settlement terms with respect to either the RO parenting terms or the custody terms of the divorce. Then you correctly note that such agreement must be finally...

Sure you can. You can "plead the 5th" in any context at any time. The only requirement is that you have some basis for believing that your testimony may tend to incriminate you. A common misconception is that this means you actually have to be guilty of some crime but the "incriminate" in this...

Are advocating that if anyone is suspected of wrongdoing, even if it's only based on allegations made by a soon-to-b-ex-spouse, that person should immediately forfeit all their rights, have their children taken from them, and be cast into eternal shame and damnation along with anyone who might...
