- the family and friends page...just with a brief description of the murder and who to contact if anyone has any information, including the family's own private investigator.
(There are many articles of course which I'll add soon. Of course if anyone has any of them handy at anytime and wants to post them..go right ahead
)

Hi boody (interesting name ),
I don't think they've made any definitive conclusion about the DNA. I have heard though that it didn't match any of her exes that were considered possible suspects.
I haven't seen the book firsthand. Can you tell some more about it?

/homewrecker and either lost interest or let it cloud their judgment. Or maybe the killer just covered her/his tracks too well..... (interesting tidbit in the book, though, about how the cops took out all her Victoria's Secret undies from the drawers, lined them up on the bed and photographed them, as if they would say something about what type person she was)....

Wow, God, are you serious, boody? That's awful. I mean I kind of figured that's how many people in the small town including LE saw her, especially with her baby being from a married man, but I didn't know about the underwear thing or how much it really clouded their judgement. I could definitely tell though that the one prosecutor didn't like her at all. I did kind of wonder though if maybe the prosecutor himself had an affair with her at one time because he seemed awfully hateful towards her, almost in a way like an ex lover might be.

Well, the prosecutor was recently divorced so he may have had some issues w/ women in general, but one quote from him was something like, "The more we look at her [Christa's] life, the uglier and uglier she gets."
After the book came out, I know he apologized to Christa's family, but I believe they are still not satisfied.
Also, Tony Jackett was/ is a prominent figure in town, very popular, and throughout his marriage, apparently, not shy about fraternizing w/ the ladies.
I'd like to know his wife's alibi.

Yes, I remember that quote. I thought it was very odd for someone as a prosecutor to be making such a publically hostile comment like that. True, though, about his divorce. That could have been what gave him that edge.
I've wondered about the female significant others of the men (man?) she was having an affair with too.

I have to add to this that I personally find it very significant that she was
stabbed one time in the heart. That certainly sounds like a crime of passion to me. The sex and the murder may have nothing to do with each other or they might but the person who had sex with her may not be who killed her. So in the latter case whether or not the semen dna matched one of her former lovers does not necessarily rule them out as the killer. I also personally find it bizarre that her one ex-boyfriend would just happen to be returning a flashlight, of all relatively insignificant things, on the night she just happened to be killed.
On the other hand, I sincerely hope they really did run the dna against a national database as that one article says. Just because she may have been 'promiscuous' doesn't mean that she could not have been the victim of a rape that led to murder.
Also, in some of these articles they mention that LE noted "signs of a scuffle" outside her home. What exactly were these "signs of a scuffle"? A potted plant turned over? The doormat flipped off to the side? What? Do they do any sort of elaboration on the scenario of the crime in that book? Maybe I need to buy the book.
Regardless, "signs of a scuffle" indicate to me that someone who came to her home that night was not welcome there.

boody (and anyone), I finally caved in and bought the book a few days ago. I've honestly barely gotten into it as of yet even though I've had more time to do so. But I hope that this will give us more to talk about on this topic.

I hope all this guy did was "rinse" the knife- as he put it- maybe there's a chance it can be linked to Christa from blood in the seam around the handle that wasn't merely "rinsed" away. :::fingers crossed:::
