Those images and short movie are amazing. Technology facsinates me. I also downloaded the image of the girl with red streaks as my desktop background! Hope the wife doens't get jealous of a computer image!!!


Playboy? Maybe, the short wasn't anything sexy, just realistic... Too cool how the facial features look so natural and the texture of the skin so real...

HOWEVER, I clicked on this thread from the main page and thought is was a 3D rendering of the VX....bummer!

No, for me it goes back to the financial insanity that was going on there and the embezzlement. How or if it'll tie in to the murder remains to be seen.

Even under the most normal of circumstances a new baby adds a whole new dimension of financial and marital pressure on a couple. Add in financial insanity and felony embezzlement charges and there could have been a very volatile situation that was brewing in that house.

Yes, I can agree with that...but I can't assume it at this point, as we have just seen or heard nothing that would validate it. Had Janet mentioned anything to co-workers, family, friends etc about fighting, argueing etc? Was the reconsiliation working? Or was she ready to walk out?

THE RENEWED 1999 BLACK IRONMAN... My Baby!
Long awaited release of my new look! I get even more looks now, and I've only been sporting the new look for 24 hours. I stopped by an Isuzu dealership and they were paging everyone to come out and take a look (however, I am not a big fan of their mechanics, go figure) and I've had approval by a few girls who weren't sure if they liked it or not. I've still got some mechancil issues and some more buffing to do, but I think it will all be worth it.

The big Question is, do I want to take it wheelin' now? Sure I do, but I'm gonna have to be very careful!!! Check out the StinkFab bent links I've got tucked under the rear wheels... The clearance looks awesome now!!!!

Let me know what you think!

I just don't know whether to believe it or not.

Apparently someone knew something because the initial reports had co-workers who were worried because Janet hadn't replied to their emails at the scene.

What could this possibly mean? How can you have approval by someone that isn't sure if they like it or not? Liking it is approval; not liking it obviously isn't. Is there more to this; is this some sort of implication? Maybe I'm reading too much into it but this wording doesn't make sense.

ETA: I guess the big question is what type of approval is he talking about?

E(again)TA: Or were they giving him their approval on something else altogether?

So did those co-workers assume Raven had done something to her?
Was that thier first thought when she didnt answer their emails?

"One of Abaroa's co-workers e-mailed her, and when she failed to respond, she and other co-workers went to check on her."


Now see, I find that strange. A woman has an infant at home, yet someone gets alarmed because she doesnt respond to an email in a timely manner? Why would they assume something bad had happened? She could have been doing any number of things that would have kept her from responding to an email.

uh huh ... that certainly is very odd. We thought perhaps she was text messaging at the time and the reporter got confused.

But the same report said raven was no where to be found...yet I have read he was indeed there...so what is or is not accuarate.

Maybe he was there and the reporters didn't see him and when they asked LE they got the ... uhhhh we're not releasing any information at this time song and dance .... and they ran with what they were able to get from the co-worker.

Can any of us email the reporters and ask for clarification and accuracy?
They should report facts!! And correct their errors if there are any!!!

We never saw a retraction, but if you think about my theory ... both stories of Raven being there and the co-worker being there work.

The co-worker was probably frantically worried about her friend. Police were around and reporters. Reporters started asking her about her friend ... where was her husband? I don't know? I don't see him? He's no where to be found! But, he could have been inside the house talking to police and the reporters in a rush to get the story of Janet out, ran with what information they got from her friend.

Was the media there? If it is true, as someone stated, that murder is not rare in Durham, how are we sure that media was even at the scene?

Very true. However, it's still sloppy journalism. At best the reporter should have SITED the friend, "according to a friend of the victim, blah blah blah." Should NOT be reported as fact, unless, it has indeed been verified, as a fact, by LE.

My opinion anyway...

Well we just saw the media not siting misterallgood's blog info. So, I'm not really impressed with the media out there right now. Besides I also think that they should be putting pressure on LE to get this thing solved.

Actually the article states that as of Wed night, police had no idea where Raven was.
