Raven's Mission

[terminatrixator]

A sociopath shows you exactly what he wants you to see.

I know I have been harsh on The Raven and his Mother, and for that I will NOT apologize. The rest of his family I believe are innocents and feel for them.

Justice will be served for Janet Marie Christiansen.

Seriously, Reportergirl, no signs of break in, nothing missing but the weapon and a laptop, husband comes home THESE ARE HIS WORDS, he find's wife, hurt, then shot, tells some she was still warm, then she was cold, the only thing missing is a weapon and a laptop. No money missing, no jewelry missing, no signs of forced entry, no fingerprints, no signs of anyone being in the home, but Janet, her six-month old child, the RAVEN PROVEN STORIES of AFFAIRS, and embezzlement CONVICTIONS.

If he had NOTHING to hide, why did he lawyer up IMMEDIATELY and REFUSE to take a polygraph. He moves out of state, comes back for his felony embezzlement hearing, raven SNUCK into town for it as it was pushed up a few days and he gets caught coming out with his LAWYER and the reporter asks questions and there is ABSOLUTELY no APPEAL to the PUBLIC FOR INFORMATION REGARDING HIS WIFE'S MURDER but he does say, in reference to his son, "he looks good!" Nice, real nice!

He runs immediately home to Utah, gets FIRED from his cellular job (why I wonder???) Now works in bike shop, while receiving social security payments, dating, going on bike trips (yes, he went to Moab) HE WENT ON SEVERAL TRIPS IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS, he left his child sitting home alone on his first Halloween, actually had the nerve to go to Janet's Homecoming to play in the Homecoming Soccer Game, all while NOT contacting LE, to find out what happened to his murdered wife who was carrying their second child.

Evidence was collected from the Durango, including a knife, a pawn shop ticket, scrappings from the tire of the Durango, the clothes Raven Abaroa was wearing - at the time (after his soccer game) were sent to forensics. A Subpoena to Google and email addresses were sent out and not sure of anything coming from that. He stated that he found her in a "kneeling position" paramedics found Janet laying on her back. He claims to have held her, told one person he tried to save her, told some she was still warm, told others she was cold, told someone he tried to give her a blessing, told some she died, told others she committed suicide, in fact he had contacted Janet's parents, and their FIRST news of Janet's death was she committed suicide, explain to me how one commits suicide by stabbing themselves that many times with a defensive wound? The list goes on and on and on..... I cannot reiterate enough, what part of him being sociopath doesn't everyone see?

Meanwhile, he's dating in Utah, buying equipment for his 1999 Ironman VX, purchases an extremely expensive cell phone, goes on bike trips, plays soccer, pawns his child off on anyone, flying across country to show his face at his Wife's Homecoming, and he gets the opportunity to share his grief with readers about the loss of his wife, in his ONE and ONLY interview almost 9 months after his wife's brutal murder and SOBS that people online are thinking his wife was weak and victimized.

Boy, does he have this wrong, Janet was a strong woman, and nobody that I know of thinks she was weak. But to say she wasn't victimized? I would say being Murdered in your home, while your husband is conveniently out "playing soccer" from 8:30 - 10:30 something (there is an approximately 20 minute drive to and 20 minute drive from soccer in Morrissville), along with any stop he may have made in between these drives (gatoraide found in his car), leaves approximately ONE hour to play soccer. Hardly worth the trip to come home and find your wife murdered.

As far as his statement about him and Janet being private people, that is not the truth. Prior to the murder of Janet Marie, Raven publicly belonged to SEVERAL ONLINE forums, including a VX forum, joined Reunion.com, Alta Highschool, Classmates.com and several other forums and he talked incessantly, playing out his private life with almost NO mention of having a wife and child, though in one forum he belonged to he was listed as "D" for Divorced, he also had several WEBSITES he ran, including the now defunct Ravenstree) for more information regarding this please check out http://huffcrimeblog.com/?cat=16

"I am moving the end of htis month and getting preasure from friends and family that I am shirking my responsibilities for entertainment.... NO, not me!!!!" R.A. - April 16, 2004

"... if it was up to me I'd keep the VX and the Durango." R.A. - January 20, 2005 Raven Abaroa

In closing for the day, I would love to leave you with this wondeful Christmas Video of 2003 http://www.zippyvideos.com/197162006300845.html - Yes, Raven is a shy and quiet guy, "Got myself a buck knife too, in case I run across a deer" December 2003 - Raven Abaroa

*side note the 3rd Vehicle, that there was no mention of in most articles, was not located at the home or the repair shop the day of the murder, while he was driving the Durango, Janet's vehicle was put in the shop for REPAIRS (that day!), he had another Vehicle, a 1999 Ironman VX, which was parked (where????) (Searched???)

[sociopath's don't like their prized possessions touched - things are more important than humans - I find it odd that this vehicle was nowhere near the home - it was parked somewhere]

So of course, he's innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT OF LAW, but God knows what he did and I have a feeling his Mother knows too and NOBODY will convince me of this otherwise.

Justice will be served ReporterGirl and I'm sorry that anything I say may hurt YOU, but I will NEVER apologize for what I say about Raven or his Mother, who raised a sociopath and covers up for him. He will be brought to Justice on EARTH and will NEVER make it to Heaven as God's punishment will be SWIFT and JUST!

 

[terminatrixator]

One more comment here, does anyone HONESTLY believe he would tell his Bishop about the Affairs or confess to killing his wife and her baby she was carrying?

He had NO choice but to confess to the embezzlement, they caught him RED HANDED, with his wife being murdered, he had NO choice but to confess to what he did. It was a PROVEN case before he stepped FOOT into the courthouse, there was no way to plead NOT GUILTY, and after his wife's murder and the forum here at Websleuths, Justice Magazine, LTU, Justice Sleuths, Crime Shots, Google Groups TALKING ABOUT THE EMBEZZLEMENT and the MURDER, and the PROOF that he embezzled - he couldn't talk his way out of that, no way, no how, especially when there was PRESSURE to confess to his bishop about the embezzlement because I would have MADE SURE the Bishop received a copy of the Embezzlement Felony Charges, that were accessible ONLINE and I would have dug up every amount of information I could have and sent it to him. Doh, confessing to the embezzlement is a NO BRAINER.

After he gets arrested and convicted of Murdering his Wife and Child, there will be no reason for him to confess to his Bishop because he will be locked away forever on Earth and eventually in Hell!

 

[terminatrixator]

Okay, I lied I have one more thing to say before I sign off, but hey I confessed so it's all good.

What difference does confessing to the Bishop about Embezzlements or let's say he finally confesses to his Bishop about the 3 KNOWN AFFAIRS, when he killed his wife. I mean seriously, he can confess eventually to his Bishop about the 3 affairs, but God still knows he premeditated killing his wife and child.

 

[ewwwinteresting]

ew,

Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. I'm sure the bishop in Utah knows everything surrounding the charges against Raven. As far as an affair, the bishop may speculate, but Raven would have to confess to the bishop for them to excommunicate him unless there is firm evidence. I personally am not completely convinced Raven had an actual sexual affair, based on my knowlege of their relationship from what his family has told me. I am also not convinced of his guilt concerning Janet's murder, however I do realize there are some seriously suspicious circumstances.

I feel it is easy for some of you fellow websleuthers to convict him on the web based on information released to the media. But, I know him personally, and I know his family. I do not speak for them, but I do know him as a kind hearted person who has obviously made some mistakes, which he appears to be paying for. He admitted to the current charges against him and he is paying for them. As far as any connection to the murder, as this point there have been no charges filed, therefore, he is presumed innocent in my book.

I wouldn't think the church would excommunicate him on the embezzelment charges alone. But an affair is certainly grounds for excommunication, if he has confessed to that.

Jenifred-- you 're still speculating whether Raven went on a mission, and I will again post, since I know firsthand, from what I remember, he recieved a call to I believe Peru. He didn't end up going. I think he met Janet around that same time. As far as the reason he did not go, I can not say for sure. But, both of his brothers did go on successful missions.

Let me know if there's anything else I can clear up.

Thanks for responding RG. You are right there are some seriously suspicious circumstances regarding Janet's murder...which, I may point out, raven hasn't responded to or defended. How do you explain his silence regarding what happened to his wife and the mother of his child? Why isn't he speaking out for justice and pleaing for the public's help? There are plenty of reporters that would put out his story if he would talk. Why isn't he contacting LE or helping them with this case? Why didn't he put out a reward or help with one? He used the internet so much before her murder, why not set up a website to help find her killer? Sorry so many questions, I just don't get why such a "kind hearted person" would act this way!

 

[Moxie]

I forgot to comment about the affair. I think he would have come clean with his bishop about any affair when everything came crashing down with the embezzlement charges. I think he would have wanted a fresh start, which excommunication would provide. After excommunication, if you desire, you start a repentance process and can then get rebaptized, giving you a clean slate. I do not know what his current status is, the wards in that neighborhood changed boundaries within the last few years and my family is no longer in the same ward. But, I do believe his family would encourage him to take the necessary steps to move toward repentance.

Reporter Girl,

I know it takes a lot of courage on your part to come out here and post. I can understand it is hard for you to read things here and see information that is hard to comprehend. The hardest part is that it is fact based, and then people have their opinions regarding the facts. I know you care for Raven and I am glad he was good to you. Unfortunately, Raven doesn't show that side of him to everyone.

Raven can be very manipulative and deceitful. He only has power though, over those who care about him, and who want to believe him.

Please know you are welcome here and we are glad you are part of our board.

 

[snapple]

Well, replying to all of you at once


I have known Raven since he was about 13 or 14. He's always been very good-looking, charismatic, etc., but I also saw the sincere side of him. Yes, he does like attention, and has a very stong desire to please everyone. He was popular, very involved in soccer, and very outgoing. The girls loved him, and the boys wanted to be his friend. I do think he felt a lot of pressure growing up to be successful, etc. I think he fears failure.

I cannot say I have had a lot of contact with him since he moved away, but I would get periodic updates on everyone in the family from family members.

Thanks for the response RG. I know it may feel some posters are jumping on you, but I think it's just misdirected anger against raven. Please don't take it personal.

I found your post to be insightful, it seems that raven's qualities as a youth have been turned into pyschopath characteristics of his present. Maybe it happened because of his upbringing, maybe because of pressure, or maybe because his "wrong choices" left him without spiritual influence in his life.
Whatever the reason, the raven today seems to be a sad, pathetic shell of the person you saw in him.
Thanks for your post

 

[reportergirl]

Hola Everyone,


I am not defending Raven's actions. I only defend the criticism of his family. As I said, I haven't had direct contact with him in a very long time. I do know that he in manipulative, as I have seen for myself.

I do not think that he would confess murder to his bishop, if he is guilty, but I still do think he would confess an affair. It's just a gut feeling.

And, don't worry about my feelings-- I can handle it. But, I do wish you all would be a little more considerate of his family-- including his mother. I'm sure she is only trying to protect her son.

 

[terminatrixator]

Snapple, you made a very good point in your post to Reportergirl.

I have no anger towards Reportergirl, I really truly do not. I feel no anger towards Jim Bolton, Raven's siblings, aunts, uncles or even friends. I feel no anger towards anyone that feels Raven may be innocent.

My snappy remarks and sharp tongue and my obvious need for Anger Management Classes, are NOT intended to be directed towards any of the family members or friends of Raven Samuel Peters Abaroa they are directed squarely at The Raven. I will admit that I have issues with his Mother. She did not directly have a hand in committing the murder of Janet, but I feel the morals and the way she has raised Raven is indirectly related and I believe she is not a good or a moral person.

I do not intentionally mean to hurt friends or family members or those that believe in Raven's innocence, but I stand by my convictions that Raven is a sociopath and I do ask that all friends and family members look at Raven with Open Eyes and think of Janet and look at how Raven behaves and look at the inconsistencies that Raven spews and look INTO The Ravens eyes and see him for what he is, a pathological liar, a conniver, a sociopath and a psychopath a schemer, a thief and a murderer.

Please read up on sociopaths and then relate things he says and do a fair an honest assessment of him and then look at his behavior, prior to and after the brutal slaying of Janet and be HONEST with themselves.

I am pleading for them to realize that they have knowledge of inconsistent statements made by Raven, look at what he has done, and how his tears and sobs are not consistent, with his online writing the day before the murder. Look at the way he has handled everything, including not contact LE to enquire about the investigation. Look at the Fact that Raven has NOT taken a Lie Detector Test. Ask him why. Ask yourselves, would you take one. If you took a lie detector would you pass. Of course you would pass. Ask yourself if you took a lie detector test and a question asked is do you believe Raven may have committed the murder, would YOU PASS.

If you believe you would pass, then why would Raven NOT take this test to PROVE HIS INNOCENCE.

Ask yourselves, why he is not doing anything but getting on with his life, while the murder of his wife goes unsolved. Ask yourselves, why he spends so much money and continues to play soccer, work part-time jobs, and started dating, ask yourself how he can continually go out and about with his life without SCREAMING FOR JUSTICE for his wife.

I wish people would look at the facts, and start connecting the dots and really look long and hard at Raven his inconsistent statements, he led the family of Janet to believe she committed suicide AFTER SPENDING HOURS at the police station, that right there, should be enough to make you go hmmm. These are not unsubstantiated RUMORS, these are truths. Now I am asking the friends and the family and those that believe Raven is Stone Cold Innocent to look at the facts and see the real Raven.

Thank you for your post Reportergirl, I did not see it until after I wrote my post. I understand gut feelings, my point on confessing to the affairs though are this. He needs his Church. If an affair is excommunicable by Church Standards, he cannot afford to do this. He needs the Church, and truth is Kaiden needs it. I can send proof to the Church of his affairs, but have chose not to, because Kaiden needs whatever support the Church is offering to Raven, for the Support of Kaiden. That is why I have personally CHOSEN not to report to his Bishop in Utah. If Raven is excommunicated by his Church, any help he may be receiving for KAIDEN may be lost, and I would not be able to forgive myself if I caused Kaiden any harm.

 

[reportergirl]

Termi-

It totally depends on the degree to which the affair was committed whether or not a preisthood council decides to excommunicate someone. Also, I believe Raven would have an opportunity to defend himself in front of the council. He could confess part of the affair, or all of it. He could have shown a lot of remourse for his actions. If he truly did have 3 sexual affairs, then excommunication is probably the best thing for him. It's a good thing-- it gives the person a chance to start over, repent, and get rebaptized.

How do you all know he has started to date again? I've seen the evidence that he went on a trip, but how do we know he's dating?

Also, I have worked with a lot of grieving families after a tragedy-- including some pretty gruesome murders. I have tried to interview them. From a media standpoint, often people don't realize that's it's better for them if they come out to the media. A: we can help them get vitial information out in the public, B: if they do come out, the media will often back off a bit if they give them something to work with, C: It helps their innocence.

But, I can't tell you how many times people close up-- most of the time they close up. They think it's better if they close off-- like it will just go away if they ignore it all.

That's why it is insignificant to me that he has not come out to the media. MOST people do not right away, or even months after. Some never do. And I bet his attorney has advised him to stay out of the media spotlight.

 

[terminatrixator]

Well to my belief intercourse is an affair, as is any other sexual acts. We do know he had them.

He has dated since the murder of Janet. There is proof of this too.

I believe you are right, as he did lawyer up immediately and I am very sure he was told to keep his mouth shut and to keep a low profile, that's his lawyers job, and a very wise attorney indeed. Low profile also does not include showing up at Bike Fests, getting fired from Cingular and dating.

 

[reportergirl]

Right you are, his actions are quite suspicious. I would like to know who he's been dating.


I was saying that if he did confess to an affair, he could have just confessed parts of it, making it not sound quite as bad and showing remorse, therefore, not making it grounds for excommunication.

Was he working at Cingular in Utah? How do you know he was fired? Which store?

RG: Maybe he will open up to you and you can help get his information out there. It sounds like he would trust you and you having experience helping others in this circumstances. Help him get that vital information out in the public...to help catch the murderer...it could clear his name!

Wasn't it his mother that was begging for money at Janet's funeral? Wasn't it his mother that opened up a trust fund within hours of hearing of the murder? Maybe she wasn't that close to Janet or didn't like her and so it was no big deal?? I don't know.....to me, it just seems like odd behavior.

He has dated more than once since returning to Utah, and I really hope that the women of Utah are warned about him.

Thanks for explaining the excommunication issue with me, my concern is for Kaiden and him getting all the aid he can at this time.

Yes He worked for Cingular Wireless in Utah and yes he was fired, canned, let go, dismissed. He did get a fancy new cell phone from his time there. I believe it was the Draper Cingular, but I have to research this again. This was during the embezzlement, after that he went to work for Canyon Cycles, working part-time, but I believe he may have started working more hours.

Yes a trust fund was set up HOURS I believe on the 27th, Janet was Murdered on the 26th by the family of Raven Abaroa, I believe Jim Bolton is the Executor on this trust fund.

I and others have said it before how similar this is too Snott peterson ,everyone thought he was SOOO wonderful to her and such a lovely person-He could never harm Laci and then the truth surfaced about him .The TRUTH will come out about THE RAVEN too .sociopaths are capable of fooling a lot of people but (you can only fool some of the people some of the time. )

Hi Ew,

I was there and heard Raven's mother, Karyn Abaroa-Bolton speak at Janet's service. She did mention the memorial fund.

Not to be critical of Karyn, but her demeanor was strange. It was like she was almost upbeat as she spoke of Kaiden and the memorial fund. I did not get the impression that she knew Janet well at all. She might have been glad to have Raven back under her wing, I don't know.

She did not come across in any way as a grieving relative.

 

[reportergirl]

Okay, as far as Karyn sounding up beat and almost happy that Janet was dead, that is quite ridiculous. Seriously, that's just her way of dealing with things-- to try and sound upbeat. Maybe she just wanted to focus on Kaiden and the life left here.

 

[terminatrixator]

Reporter, I don't think that Moxie stated that Karyn was Happy that Janet was dead. However, you stated yourself, that being upbeat was Karyn's way of dealing with things.

While she may be UPBEAT as is her way of dealing with things, she has Kaiden. Her son came home, toting Janet's baby, and he pawned his son off on his Mother, and anyone who would be willing to watch him.

All the while the family of Janet were left to grieve the loss of their Daughter, their Sister, their Aunt, their Cousin, their Friend, and get NO time with Kaiden, and having to worry all the time that the MURDERER may very well be raising this baby!

Where's her grief? Where's her heartache? Has she ONCE contacted Law Enforcement demanding to know the status of her DAUGHTER-IN-LAWS AND UNBORN GRANDCHILD'S MURDER?

She could have been a grandmother to a little girl or another little boy but SHE WILL NEVER GET TO SEE THIS CHILD, because her son decided to kill his wife and unborn child!

I heard from numerous people that Karyn did not act like someone that was grieving and she said and did things that were inappropriate considering the loss of her MURDERED daughter-in-law.

Nonetheless, this is not about Karyn, this is about Raven and his behavior before, during and after the MURDER of his WIFE and UNBORN CHILD, which has been highly inappropriate, disgusting, sickening and he makes me :sick:.
