I wouldn't be surpised if they did write a book. A lot of Joe's articles read like a novel instead of a news story, with the way he describes the scenes and draws everything out.

I can see it fine on my phone.

I thought so too, but assumed he must have cut them into tiny pieces and flushed several times.

You may be right. He was charged with felony murder but maybe there is something in his plea bargain that reduces it to voluntary manslaughter. I haven't seen that anywhere. I did see on one of the articles that it was likely he would have gotten life without possibility of parole if he went...

Is anyone else having a hard time believing this was the straw that broke the camel's back? I mean, there was a lot of other circumstantial evidence like the underwear and the hacksaw packaging found in his apartment. Not to mention other evidence we don't have the full details on, like the...

You are correct. Also there was mention that a rape kit had been processed on her, so one could *assume* that the full torso was intact.

It looks like the article AgentFrankLundy posted was just updated with more details on the murder. SMD was wearing a mask and gloves when he attacke her. Lauren pulled his mask off before he killed her.

According to WMAZ, he has to write out a statement detailing the crime as part of his agreement. I hope Lauren's family will get her remains finally and have some closure. Also as part of the agreement, the charges for burglary and child pornography will be dismissed...

I just got a text alert from WMAZ that Stephen pleaded guilty and will receive life in prison.
