I was watching it and the Oregon stand off situation. Didn't learn anything new about G.I. Joe, but thought CNN did a pretty good job. Still left me with the feeling that if the FEDs hadn't been involved it would have been put in an unsolved murder file and all his dirty deeds quietly covered up. But I am jaded.

One of the largest withdrawals from an Explorer account allegedly tapped for personal expenses, $7,000, was taken out in March 2014, according to court documents. One day later, the records show a $7,000 deposit was made to an account in Melodie Gliniewicz's name.

Just saw a tweet that Joe's wife has been indicted. It's a screenshot, so I can't post. It was from ABC news. I'll look for another source.

Feel pretty bad for the kids, particularly the juveniles.

I do have to say, she looks better in that photo than I have ever seen her look. All made up, hair done, clean clothes...I have a feeling this wasn't unexpected. I say again, these 2 really failed their poor kids. Seemed to be teaching them all the right things, but in private, were teaching them all the wrong things. So sad.

“Melodie has suffered greatly over the past few months and continues to move her family forward after the emotionally traumatizing events of September 1, 2015. Considering Melodie’s cooperation with law enforcement, she is devastated by the decision to bring charges against her,” a statement from the Kelleher & Buckley law firm said.
“Melodie is a victim of her husband’s secret actions and looks forward to her day in Court to show the world her innocence. Melodie requests that the media respect her and her children’s privacy.”

Oh give me a break. She's innocent in all of this. Puhleazzzze. You wish you were, Melodie.
And yeah, I'm sure you were cooperating with LE -- when you realized the game was up and you were probably going to jail.

I know how much my husband makes, and if one day we had "more", I would wonder and question the source. I feel bad for her in the sense of loss of her husband, but it ends there.

ABC 7 aired her release from jail live. As she walked out of jail with her attorneys she was asked by several news sources if she had anything to say to those people who supported her and her family throughout this and to the explorers who supported her. She had nothing to say. I wonder if she is going to save her comments for that same crime show she participated in shortly after her husbands suicide.


Based on the emails previously released with LT. CG discussing the explorer 'loans' with persons A and B, it sounds like a solid case against Mel.

I wonder if she will make a deal or go to trial. I guess time will tell.

Yeah maybe she is saving all her conversation for when the President calls... wasn't she miffed that she never got a call of condolences from the White House??
:laughing:

 

[Cubby]

I had forgotten about her being miffed she never received a call from Obama. What stands out most is her arrogant tone when she made mention of the coroner having an 'elected position'.

I hope she gets time, and I hope this gets to trial soon. She and all she and her late husband stood for make me ill.

Yes, it is just disgusting that both she and GI Joke had such feelings of entitlement. I guess it's obvious that he thought he could do what he wanted, treat people how he wanted, and take what he wanted. And she was right there with him. Take, take, take.

I do feel sorry for the youngest son who is probably having to deal with so much humiliation at an age that is most sensitive to the opinions of peers. But I'll be honest -- at least there is hope now that their offspring will see that you DON'T get away with things, that people ARE held accountable, and that being dishonest crooks can ruin your life! The middle son was being groomed to be just like Joe, and I pray that he really straightens up.

moo, of course.

Except that she knew all along that dear hubs probably committed suicide and knew why. JMO...Bring in those sympathy bucks.
