We apparently agree, until you bring up SB and his putative fatherhood and baby Lisa. As pointed out earlier, SB can/could easily absolve himself of responsibility for baby Lisa. So where is the problem? And is this relevant to the case?

For me, the article was informative. If the paper did it's research it cleared up a lot of grey areas. I'm still on the fence tho...

In my experience, when LE used derogatory terms about my client it was to me, to my face, it was right before the case was presented to the judge. I've also experienced it in the hospital when a LEO was interviewing a rape victim in the ER, and that was so ugly and heart breaking. There's not a...

I know this is OT, but it does give a perspective of different local customs and what is accepted behavior. Our neighborhood is on the Nat'l Historic Register. Thus we have large lots with old growth trees. Being in the deep south we're smack dab in SEC college football land. One of our...

As I said in post above, this article cleared up a lot of facts for me. I'm still on the fence, however, I'm :waitasec: a lot less.

About the "white trash" comments. I used to advocate for victims of domestic violence and rape, and during the course of a case I would often deal with LE. I'll preface my comments by saying more times than often the police officers and detectives were hard-working, stand-up people. However...

It is the family's story, but it was the paper that "put it out." Nobody went to the paper and held them at gunpoint until they did so. The family said what they know and think...should we have expected any different? Just because they're DB's family I'm not going assume they're intentionally...

However, the reporter and newspaper asked them for an interview and subsequently printed it. To me, that infers that the paper "put out the story", not the family. eta: If the newspaper decided they wanted to delve into the details of DB's past, who else would they interview besides her...

How does one force a reporter to interview them and the newspaper to print it?

I see it as a situation where they broke up and everyone moved on. I certainly can't speak to SB's actions, just to say he was in the military during 2 horrible wars, and perhaps with his having PTSD he made the decision to not be in his son's life. Not knowing more than that I can't speak to...

I'm glad I don't live where you are. I've been known to sit on my front porch with a beer or a glass of wine, however, I don't smoke cigs. And welcome! I look forward to your participation in following this case. One thing we WS members can all agree on is we hope Lisa is found soon. :seeya:

Not knowing anything about him I wouldn't say SB is horrible and self-centered. As with many vets he may have suffered serious psychological injuries from his time in the middle east. He may not have contact with his son because of such injuries and doesn't want his son to see him that way. His...

When I go to http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=juggalo%2Fjuggalette, the definition is pretty broad, so it's hard to judge where MW is going with defining herself.

She could've labeled herself as a guidette, and we'd all be thinking Snooki. FB labels mean very little, it's pop culture, IMHO.

When I was in college, back in the early 80s, I lived in a 3 brm/2 ba house with the manager of the pizza place I worked at and her boyfriend, and there were probably at any time 3-5 others living there or bunking out on the couch. I don't recall any drugs going on besides a little (very little)...
