Thanks! I am reading it now.

"Detectives have acknowledged traveling to Florida last week. They were there to interview a woman described as Coleman's girlfriend, a law enforcement source close to the case said Tuesday.

A second police source confirmed the relationship. They did not say whether they think it played any role in the murders."

She is said to be a stripper...and more will be revealled.

"
LARGO, Fla. — Police are investigating a romantic relationship between a woman in Florida and Christopher Coleman, whose wife and two children were slain last week at their home in Columbia, Ill.

Detectives have acknowledged traveling to Florida last week. They were there to interview a woman described as Coleman's girlfriend, a law enforcement source close to the case said Tuesday.

Well, well, well. Very interesting.

And this woman doesn't sound like TL...who's military.

The Florida woman's online profile on Classmates.com says she attended college in Tampa. Public records say she worked in a bar and as a hostess for a gentlemen's club in Tampa.

HMMmm got so excited to see it I just realized that.............

Thanks! And Welcome to Websleuths! There have also been rumors that the police have searched the Affton home. Do you know if this is true, and if the house is currently being lived in by someone (and if so, who?)

Thanks again.

I believe that is true about the house being searched although can't say for sure. I don't know if anyone is living there or if it's vacant. I have half a mind to drive by it tomorrow (it's not far from where I work)!

I didn't mean it like that, the facts show that most people stereotype that the blacks are the ones that do the most crime, in stl, it is probably more whites than blacks, but I had to make a point. If I was black, I would have said something like I was driving my car into Affton, which is actually where I grew up and after living there for 25 years, never saw a black person living there. Same point. STL is completely different than Columbia. Here in Columbia, the story goes that Ozzie Smith was going to find a house here, back when he still played for the Cardinals and the local real estate people raised the costs of the houses so much so he left. In Columbia, it is not unusal to find a car stopped by the cops for DWB, Driving While Black. It is true and one thing that really frightens me, is that as racist as this town is, they will neglect all of the evidence pointing towards CC or his brother and find a black person to pin this all onto. As racist as this town is, they would believe that a black man killed the colemans but not CC himself.

First of all, that is hardly the same point. Whites aren't stigmatized as criminals as blacks are. Thanks to the media and the unregulated discretion of our criminal justice system, blacks are grossly overrepresented among prison and jail populations, even though whites commit more crimes. A black person in a 'white neighborhood' would feel the discomfort of either being arrested, or of being seen as a criminal, rather than a white person in a 'black neighborhood' feeling that they'll be mugged and shot at any moment.

Anyway, the point is, that I can think of at least ten different ways you could have written that better (i.e., "I've been in the worst of the worst neighborhoods and still felt safe enough to ask for directions").
Not trying to be the politically correct police, but seriously... :bang:
