I am a woman obsessed. Since 10/28/07 I have lived, ate, and slept this case. I can attribute this to a lot of things. I lived spitting distance to these people up until August. Our kids are about the same age and played at the same playground ( not together). I'm still in my 20's with a much older husband...I could sit here all day and wax similarities, but it detracts from my point.
Everyday I sit here at my desk reading message boards, posting my 2 cents of info as a local, my extensive knowledge of the law ( via Court TV law school). I look for possible clues everytime I leave the house, etc. Never in my life have I wished for a case to be solved.
Sure, I was into OJ when it happened, Scott Peterson, etc. but I was young then and really only in it for sensationalism and drama. But this case is different. I feel for the kids, the sisters, the friends, the family.
All the while there is this idiot and his idiot lawyer calling everybody "crazy" and unreliable, etc. Today Drew Peterson's lawyer is discounting reports of truckers allegedly being approached by Peterson as wanting to sell their stories to tabloids.
yup. they all want to be Britney. Every trucker wants to get out of his big rig and be met with flashes of truck stop paparazzi.
Oh ick...there's a visual, crotchographs and big sunglasses and Lindsay Lohan.
Anyways..I digress.
There's a saying that if it doesn't make sense it is probably not true. Truckers wanting a National Enquirer payday doesn't make any sense.
I have my Jr. Sleuth ideas and speculations. I can see all sides of this saga.
Have I been 23 and wanted to run away from a less than ideal life? Yes.
So much so that I would vanish without a trace? No. Especially if I had people to go to and confide in.
Can I see why a 23 yr old that feels stuck may reach out to a guy via text messages and emails? Yes. Absolutely. When circling the drain, you will do anything to pull yourself out of it an make yourself feel better.
I could go on for days. I GET everything Stacy did. Even if it so happens that she ran off to Mexico to decompress and shows up I will get that too. You make the best decision you can at the time.
But something about Drew Peterson screams predator.
Of course the sensationalist in me feels that you want justice almost immediately. But just this past weekend there was a HUGE vigil right outside his house and neither he, his family or Stacy's KIDS attended. Sure, even if you believe she ran off with another man (with only her bikini, 25K in cash, bedsheets and a nightstand) aren't you worried that she hasn't called in 5 weeks? Nobody has seen her?( Except in Peoria, not where I'd head BTW). He seems to have this "oh well" attitude that gets under my skin and makes me want to throw a shoe at the TV. Sure be mad at her for leaving, but get on TV and give interviews, don't plead the 5th in the Grand Jury, use your resources and connections to FIND HER. You are about to go down for murder and she took off leaving you with 4 kids!
Don't go on TV and tell the world she was unstable with PMS, and how much you spoiled her. Then bring reporters into your house and show them how great your kids are doing. 2 of them lost 2 mothers, and the other 2 won't even know theirs. Sickening.
We all know the story. It's just that for the first time I am truly heartbroken over a widely publicized case. Everytime I see her sister Casandra on the screen I have the simultaneous feeling of 'you go girl' and sadness for her.
Anyway, let's hope for more news. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents.
