My guess is that the strange atmosphere with that family is the product of years of manipulation by a sociopath (MP). He probably rewarded fawning admiration and played them all off against each other, being unspeakably cruel and cold if you did anything he determined to be wrong. As such they...

Whoa - good catch!! All I can say, is that any woman thinking of moving in with Michael Peterson should seriously consider a bungalow.

Yes - and who MP was very clear wouldn't be believed in court due to a very long rap sheet. However, there was absolutely no blood on that blow poke, I honestly don't think it was the weapon. I think the triad shaped wound was caused by her head being slammed into the corner of the skirting...

Wow - interesting. I've been rewatching it again too, and there's an interesting scene when one of the sons is talking to him in his study. He's there with his pipe, pontificating and going on about the arrogance of youth fading in age... and his son just stares at him for a bit, with this...

I though they'd just found random paragraphs in various half finished manuscripts etc? I don't recall a mention of it being first person. But I'll watch that bit again and see if I can make more sense of it.

Also, taken from the website I linked to above: On Forest Hills June 1, 2001 A week ago, a car was abandoned on the street in back of my home. I knew it didn’t belong to a neighbor but thought it might have broken down, though it was a relatively new Honda Accord and there was no white...

I did find a blog which was quite a random collection of snippets from the case, which included emails I hadn't seen before (like the 'lets work on our marriage tonight' email) and that had a few snippets of his articles on the hizzoner.com page. I can't quite seem to find it though. There is...

Another detail I picked up on, which leads me to think the murder happened after supper and the film but before any of this drinking more wine and going to the pool stuff: When Mike Peterson goes through their last movements in the first episode of The Staircase, he points at the sofa and...

She was still within the legal alcohol drive limit - so she certainly hadn't had her share of the 'at least two' bottles of wine that Mike said they'd had. Also, I don't know what quantities of those medications she had in her. But booze wise, she was ok to drive.

Same one but they've added three further episodes. Fascinating stuff!

I am totally obsessed with this case and have changed my mind many times. But I've finally settled on guilty. If you go back to the first scene of The Staircase, when he is at the pool, recounting their final moments together he says "And that's the last time I saw her alive. Ah.. well no, she...

I can't believe she's got away with this. Why would Herba go to the effort of spending around 10,000 Euros to carry out this scam (including flights and hiring of premises) to lure a completely unknown 'model' with no proof of family money or large earnings to Italy? Why not just lure an...
