Hi ya'll! :woohoo:

[PrayersForMaura]

thank you Timex! :)

[ewwwinteresting]

So, do we know if Janet was still playing soccer? She looked great for having a six month old....didn't take her long to get back in shape!

[golfmom]

So, do we know if Janet was still playing soccer? She looked great for having a six month old....didn't take her long to get back in shape!

Oh, that's a good question. We've heard that Raven played in leagues, I wonder if Janet did too?

[ewwwinteresting]

Oh, that's a good question. We've heard that Raven played in leagues, I wonder if Janet did too?
From what I've read, it appears she was one heck of a player!

[MissYouJanet]

You didn't see her when she was pregnant. If you were behind her you could not tell that she was pregnant. The only weight that she put on was all baby. Kaiden was a cute little basketball right on her belly. She literally looked like she had stuffed a basketball up under her shirt.

[MissYouJanet]

Of course she looked like she never had a baby a week later.

[MissYouJanet]

From what I've read, it appears she was one heck of a player!
She was an incredible player. She could have gone pro if she wanted to but she decided thtat she wanted to make familiy a priority

[ewwwinteresting]

Of course she looked like she never had a baby a week later.
Now that's not fair!:)

[Thinkoflaura]

I was posting to you and the thread got locked right in the midst of my post!

I wanted to tell you that I have so much empathy for what you and the other friends of Janet, Raven and their families are going through, and that I care very much about each one of you.

Please share your memories and thoughts of Janet as you see fit. It is totally your private decision. I can tell you that if there had been a " sounding board" for Laura when she died, it would have helped me so very much.
I hope we can offer a safe haven, a refuge and a place to remember Janet.

Hugs,
Lesa

[MissYouJanet]

Now that's not fair!:)
I know I gained 50 with each of my kids and I was happy when I lost half of that

[ewwwinteresting]

She was an incredible player. She could have gone pro if she wanted to but she decided thtat she wanted to make familiy a priority
Wow, she sounds like someone that had it together...priorities straight...willing to sacrifice something she loves! I bet you feel blessed to have known her for as long as you did.

[MissYouJanet]

ThinkofLaura Thank you four your support. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it

[MissYouJanet]

Unbelievably blessed. I wish you all could have known her.

[Chica]

MYJ and TOL - I just want to express my heartfelt appreciation to the both of you for being so open and honest . . . I get goosebumps when reading your posts . . . I can't even begin to imagine what both of you have gone through/are going through.
God bless both of you, and a BIG thank you!

[Thinkoflaura]

Unbelievably blessed. I wish you all could have known her.
I'm wanting to know her through your eyes. Tell us what you can about the living Janet- was she a practical joker, did she laugh easily, did she talk about her family often? Was she homesick for her parents and Virginia?
Did she make Kaiden's birth announcements?

We know so little about what made her Janet. If you can, please tell us about her music, the books you may have discussed together, did she like to drive fast cars? What was her favorite food? Was she a picky eater or thin because of good genes, :)? Did she like to decorate her home and was she a crafts type person?

Maybe this is a starting place for us to get to know her.. please don't feel obligated to answer anything, these were just questions that I can see someone asking about Laura, and I know the answers to almost all of them.. She was the sister I never had. Maybe it was like that for you and Janet as well.

Lesa

[MissYouJanet]

Janet was such a boy! Ii guess that's why we worked. We both hated to dress up on Sunday. If it were up to us, we would be iin shorts and sandals and covered in dirt! She was very outgoing in sports. That was her comfort zone. Other than that she was a homebody. She like to spend time with her family.

She had an incrediible work ethic that was instilled in her very young. While the rest of us were sleeping, she would be up at like 4am on her paper route.

She loved kids. she was a great babysitter. Her nieces could not get enough of her.
Janet ate everything and anything and never gained a pound. We were all envious of her.

She was a team player. It was always obvious who the best player on every team was. It was Janet. She was always the last to take credit she would say things like "if Lisa didn't sett me up with the perfect pass I wouldn't have made the shot." Very humble

[MissYouJanet]

Janet's older brother used to tease her and say he was sad when their mom said they were having another girl but was happy once he found out that she was more boy than girl. They used to play soccer in the back yard together and have so much fun.

Janet never played any sport she wasn't great in. Basketball, soccer, baseball were no match for her. I'm sure she could have been the first pro football player if she wanted to.

[golfmom]

MYJ, thank you so much for sharing with all of us!

Frankly, I'm worn out. I look forward to catching up in the a.m.

Hugs Everyone! GM

Thank you very much. It is very difficult to tell the facts of her death ( and we are all, in hindsight and after she was buried, convinced that her husband, who was from a prominent family murdered her) without having enormous grief for her and guilt for being the one who lived.
I try very hard not to take my friends or family for granted.. Laura's murder changed me in ways that I can't say, just like it did her mother, who lost her only daughter, and her dad, who died less than a year later of a massive heart attack- his heart was broken.. Laura was ALL him, his sense of humor, her wicked pranks.. totally her daddy's girl. :)
I know that there is a great deal of survivor guilt of a type.. because I was also married with small children, it could have been me, and maybe it should have been. She was a Special Education teacher, and what higher endeavor could anyone have pursued?
I never would have thought that my prankster, Homecoming Court queen, petite little friend would grow up to be a teacher, much less a Special Needs teacher. She had so little time to live.. I still wonder " Why her?"

I know Janet's friends and family are going through this in a huge and raw hurtful way. I am so glad this site exists so that they may interact and share and remember in their own ways.

God bless.

[lauriej]

Lesa.......

...i've seen posts of yours over time, on various forums, and had not known "your story" until today.....my heart goes out to you...

...i hope that with MYJ coming here and sharing her thoughts of janet that it's also helping you in a way as well...

...i know from experience as well..............( my 21 year old nephew died in 1997...) that you need to 'let it out'.....and a forum is a wonderful way to be able to do that...

...p.s............love your screen name.....it's a wonderful tribute to your friend....

[golfmom]

MissYouJanet,

I saw that you have logged on and I have one question that is bothering me . . .

Is the family aware of misterallgoods blogs and websleuths? If they are, how do they feel about them? It worries me that all our poking and prodding in this case could be hurting them.

Thank you!

I'm sure some members of her family are aware. I know her parents are avoiding info on the web

The Murder of Janet Abaroa... A Message From the Christiansens; An Interesting Find.... (http://www.planethuff.com/darkside/archives/000759.html)

It works for me! :bang:

:(
I'm so sad. After reading the email from Janet's family member you can feel the pain this has caused this family. No one had the right to take this beautiful woman from their lives. I don't think anyone who hasn't lost a child can really speak to what it must be like for them to experience this huge gaping hole in all their lives. I know that this is probably a wound that can never be healed.

They are in my thoughts and prayers.

Yes, it is terrible, and I would give this family the same advice I give to all families in this situation...

Stay off the message boards. Dont read them, dont concern yourself with them. I understand how hard it is not to want to set the record straight etc, but the pain they will experience while reading some of the posts will be more than any family should need to handle.

Speculation will run rampant, and anything that can be speculated upon will be. There will be rumors...there will be lies...and their will be truth. For thier own sanity, my advice is not to get caught up in the postings online.

[golfmom]

I completely agree. This is really not a very good place for a grieving family to be.

[ewwwinteresting]

We know the search warrant indicated that the Dodge Durango was parked on the right side of the residence and the blood was on the side storm door and side door frame.....

I read this in one of the news articles:

"After police interviewed Raven Abaroa earlier on Thursday, they asked a judge for permission to search the vehicle for evidence a second time, the warrant said. "Information disclosed during that interview has suggested that further scientific testing is needed to determine the relationship of the vehicle to the homicide," the warrant said."

I am noticing that they didn't say "if" the vehicle is related to the homicide.

I am also wondering why they didn't search the VX (s).....depending if he had two, or the motorcycle. Are we able to obtain a copy of the second search warrant? Are search warrants public record?

[golfmom]

Maybe someone locally can march into the courthouse and see what paperwork is available.
It's possible that if it costs money we can work out a fund to share the expense.

[Moxie]

Hi - I don't know if it costs money to get the paperwork, but if anyone is local to Durham and can go get any available paperwork, I would be glad to contribute.

I would also contribute to a fundif we need for paperwork expenses. As long as Raven isn't the one trying to collect the money, lol. Then we'd never see it again or the paperwork! :p

[golfmom]

:laugh: I would also contribute to a fundif we need for paperwork expenses. As long as Raven isn't the one trying to collect the money, lol. Then we'd never see it again or the paperwork! :p

:slap: Ouch! that's gonna leave a mark!

[ewwwinteresting]

Second :laugh: I would also contribute to a fundif we need for paperwork expenses. As long as Raven isn't the one trying to collect the money, lol. Then we'd never see it again or the paperwork! :p
The person who obtains the paperwork can post the information and let us all know how much he/she had to pay and we can all share in the cost.....of course, just the cost of the paperwork and not the entire expense of the trip:crazy:

Wondering......on an ongoing investigation, how much is really available to the public? What would be available to the public is the court file for the embezzlement charges....maybe someone is close and can show up for the June hearing, find out the case number and pull the file for info? There might be information in the file regarding Janet.

[golfmom]

What is the status of the embezzlement charges? The news reported that RA has a court date scheduled in June. I tried to confirm it at the NC court schedule calendar, but they don't have the schedule out that far.

Is there any way we can confirm the status of these charges? This would not be something that would be resolved quickly. I found a story that I'm linking below where a woman was charged with embezzlement last fall and it was just resolved recently.

http://www.wral.com/news/4471434/detail.html

In the above case an 85 yo woman was charged with taking $4,000 over 10 years. She received a suspended sentence of 13 to 16 months (probably due to her age) and had to repay the money.

I would think that Raven would eventually get a *deal*, but I just have a hard time imagining that it could be resolved this quickly.

[Jenifred]

Our conversations have seemed to have died down. I hope that it's just the long weekend.

Has anyone been able to find any information of the soccer game that Raven was at the night Janet was murdered? I don't think that we have found out if it was a league game or a pickup game. I've been looking and can't find a thing.

[anneshirley]

I don't know about everyone else, but I know I'm getting really discouraged with the lack of word from reporter and LE. Perhaps that's what's causing the lapse in conversations.

Maybe it would be a good idea to start poking media in the rear-end. It's easy enough to drop an e-mail to reporters who have reported on this crime!

I wrote Eric Olson specifically asking about the embezzlement charges and the following is his response . . .

I just spoke with the assistant district attorney handling the embezzlement cases in Orange County. All the charges remain pending for a court date of June 10. At that point, the ADA (Jacqueline Perez) is simply meeting with his attorney. There is nothing else planned aside from that date at this point.

Hope that clarifies things for you. But if not, please feel free to write again if you have further questions.

Well this is one of those things that I'm sure the family has asked Raven about.

"Raven, what's going to happen with the embezzlement charges?"

"My imaginary buddies "Pasqual" and "Francois" took care of everything and I'm free as a bird."

[golfmom]

Raven might be owed some money.

Hi Tiffany! Thanks for posting the beautiful pictures of Janet at her collegiate graduation (there in the media links thread for all who haven't seen them yet!).

Who is the man with her in the second picture giving her the bear.
Kind of looks like Raven from the side but not really... looks more like a brother of hers. Are you able to chare who he is?
If not, I understand. You can pm me too.
That is just such a cute photo and I really thank you for sharing it!

Regarding your first point, yes conversations have died down.
I also wonder if we scared MissYouJanet away... maybe she is out of town but she hasn't posted in a few days.
I am getting discouraged with the lack of media coverage and LE info.

I had received a message from someone who told me that Raven actually played in a soccer game that night... I wonder if this is true. If so, how was his demeanor at the game, when did he get there, when was it over, etc.

Anyone, anyone?

I don't know about everyone else, but I know I'm getting really discouraged with the lack of word from reporter and LE. Perhaps that's what's causing the lapse in conversations.
That's a big part of it for me, Anne girl ( Marilla's pet name for Anne Shirley).
I mean, without hard evidence, how much can we continue to speculate and wonder?
At some point it becomes absurd. I reached my saturation level and am very upset that the case is not going forward..I keep thinking that the very next news we receive will be that Samuel Peters AKA Raven Abaroa has fled, and is a fugitive on both embezzlement counts and murder one. JMHO, of course.

Raven might be owed some money.

Mr. A.Great blog!
The thing in the blog that hurts my heart--the whole thing about Raven thinking that Janet would also be unfaithful. Geez, how low can you get, Raven?? You want everyone on your level? I think that she knew the way to get to you and it wasn't being unfaithful, it was Kaiden.

[NCBanker]

Still no additional info from my source. I've planned a little field trip tomorrow to Durham. It's not too far away, so I'll probably go in the morning and take as many pictures of the crime scene as possible. I did a Mapquest search tonight for directions, and it seems pretty easy to reach. I hate that we haven't heard any "new" news. If LE is still talking to Raven, perhaps they've refocused on him, based on circumstantial evidence?

New blog entry up. Much of it regular readers here will already know, but I do state some things more forthrightly than I have perhaps, in the past.

Mr. A.
Great Blog.......have some questions/thoughts
:
"But then there is the crime he is accused of; embezzling from his former employer, Eurosport, out of Hillsborough, North Carolina. I have been told recently that Raven was actually accused of embezzling $9,000 worth of goods, not money -- perhaps even the shirt pictured at left with the snarky fake name "P. NESS" on it. He has a court date for a hearing on these charges -- June 10th, 2005."

Wouldn't it be public record what he stole? It would make sense that it would be listed on the complaint.




"According to an e-mail from Durham reporter Eric Olson (not the Eric Olsen of blogcritics.org (http://blogcritics.org/)) my websleuths friend "golfmom" forwarded, Raven has to appear for that court date: From: "Eric Olson"
To: "*****" <************@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 14:43:09 -0400
Subject: RE: Abaroa case question and information

I just spoke with the assistant district attorney handling the embezzlement cases in Orange County. She told me that is not the case at all. All the charges remain pending for a court date of June 10. At that point, the ADA (Jacqueline Perez) is simply meeting with his attorney. There is nothing else planned aside from that date at this point.

Hope that clarifies things for you. But if not, please feel free to write again if you have further questions.

-Eric Olson



If that is the case, then Raven surely could not be planning, as another e-mail source stated, to head to Maine to stay with an Uncle soon, and then to Utah to stay with his sister. Would that not constitute an unlawful flight from prosecution? It likely would -- but that information did not come from anyone in the immediate family so it could be erroneous or due to some kind of misunderstanding."

IMO, Raven could leave NC and head to Virginia, Maine or Utah or wherever as long as he shows up to the Court dates and isn't charged with the murder of Janet Abaroa. It doesn't seem to me that it would be an unlawful flight from prosecution if he appeared in Court when he was ordered to. IMO, if Raven is making these travel plans, he believes his attorney will be handling the embezzlement charges and will appear when necessary AND he believes he is not a suspect in the murder of his wife.

The other item that doesn't make sense to me is that at the court hearing, the ADA is simply meeting with the attorney. Does that mean Raven doesn't have to appear? Someone would have to let the Court know what the status of the case is, whether it's a continuance in order to work out a deal or whether they are moving forward with prosecution. The case file should show the status.........ok, now that we have the case numbers, we need someone to go to the Court house and pull the file to get some answers here:banghead: !!!!!!

[ewwwinteresting]

Still no additional info from my source. I've planned a little field trip tomorrow to Durham. It's not too far away, so I'll probably go in the morning and take as many pictures of the crime scene as possible. I did a Mapquest search tonight for directions, and it seems pretty easy to reach. I hate that we haven't heard any "new" news. If LE is still talking to Raven, perhaps they've refocused on him, based on circumstantial evidence?
Yeah :clap: We look forward to the pictures and report of any information NC!

Raven might be owed some money.

Hey, that's great news, IMHO. I've seen many a slow story come to the public forefront by so-called " tabloid" journalism.
I would love to see the National Enquirer do to Raven what they relentlessly did to the Ramseys for years. ( Not taking up for the Ramseys, just sayin' )

Mr.A, do you not think that by publishing their IP and name, you might be preventing them from returning in the future? Not sure how many people want to fly under the radar.. I am a BLOG idiot.

Thanks!!

I received a communication wanting to confirm that it was indeed merchandise that was taken from Eurosport.

I wonder if he'll enjoy all that attention though. From the description of a psychopatho in Mr.AG's blog, it certainly would seem so.

......$9000.00 is a LOT of merchandise, i wonder what it consists of..

I tried to figure that one out. NC because of overcrowding issues is generally easy on white collar crimes. I guess they figure that if the person isn't a threat to society in general, that it isn't worth society supporting him as an inmate. At the very minimum he would have probation, need to repay the company, and get hit with fines.

[helloyellow]

He stole soccer gear.

[golfmom]

He stole soccer gear.

Thank you for sharing that information with us and welcome to the boards!

That's an awful lot of gear, do you know the details on how he was able to do this and what he did with all this gear? It's not like he could have it around the house without Janet getting suspicious.

I don't know...Raven had a lot of stuff and soccer gear is expensive

[golfmom]

I don't know...Raven had a lot of stuff and soccer gear is expensive

He sure did have a lot of *stuff* . . .

This would actually have to be a pretty complicated scam. It sounds to me like each month he would order around $1,500 in merchandise. He'd have to have it delivered somewhere. Then, he'd have to sell it somehow. Then he'd have to hide any money he got from Janet.

I remember awhile back I found an ebay account that I thought was his, but the records were unavailable . . . hmmmmmm

I am going to try to be careful with my posts. You have gotten a feel for the kind of person Raven is. Some is correct, some is a little off. I think that when you take his personality and the fact that his life has changed dramatically in the last few months then something could snap.

They arrived looking at a different story entirely -- the one about the mom who was a new-age healer type who ended up being stabbed 111 times by her demented teenage son. Shame, too, because it's not one of my better entries. Don't know what they read after that, but it looks like they hung around a bit.

Any webmaster, not just a blogger, can get that info if they have the right program embedded in their page. Blogs are just journals, short for "weblog". No, I'm not concerned about that. People who don't want you to know they are surfing usually know how to mask their ISP name.

Isn't funny that the choices that we make, make us lash out at others? Look at the serious crimes--Mark Hacking for instance. He lied, and killed Lori because of it. But even everyday life.

......$9000.00 is a LOT of merchandise, i wonder what it consists of..

...felony embezzlement, if he IS plaeding guilty, and it sounds like that's the case, anyone know the 'usual punishment' for that crime ?
He's pleading guilty from what I have heard. That means that he can now " throw himself on the mercy of the court" and a judge will sentence him. There will not be a trial by jury, as I understand the guilty plea thing..

He's betting on a judge being lenient because of Raven's single parent status, the loss of his wife ,etc..

His sentence will probably be 1 year and 1 day, commuted to Probation only. He will have a Felony conviction on his records forever.

I say the judge will give him 2 years worth of useless probation, in which he visits his probation officer once a month and pays them $25 or so per visit.
He will have to pay into the Victim's Advocacy fund even though this was mostly a victimles crime ( as compared to a private home burglary... or a murder).
He will have to pay at least some of the money back. If he doesn't have it, then I am sure the probation department will help him find employment and take a percentage out of his wages.

Wow Girl! You are amazing. I too had heard on the side that he had already plead guilty. But, with the info coming out that the ADA was planning on meeting with his lawyer in June, I thought maybe they were going to hammer out a deal for a guilty plea then. Remember, anything we hear that might have originated with Raven is probably wrong.

[golfmom]

FuTBaLrGuY

Is the ebay name I thought Raven might have used, it corresponds with his MSN screen name.

[golfmom]

It costs approximately $1,000 to $2,000 to outfit a soccer team.

[ewwwinteresting]

It costs approximately $1,000 to $2,000 to outfit a soccer team.
So.....5 months at $2,000 would be $10,000.00 (right around the figure of embezzlement???

[golfmom]

So.....5 months at $2,000 would be $10,000.00 (right around the figure of embezzlement???

No, once the team has their jersey and stuff they're good. So the total to deck them out for a season would be $1-2,000 total. Then they can also reuse much of the gear for a few seasons too.

I figure he did take care of his buddies on the team, but also had a nice side business going off ebay. There was a FuTBaLrGuY ebayer that I can't pull the records for.

Hmmm.............you are probably right. Do we know how many teams Raven played with?

Totally off this subject, I want to throw an idea out there that we haven't even discussed......

Could Raven have been bi-sexual? Do we know the alleged affairs were with women? Maybe it was men or boys.....just an idea.

[cappuccina]

I'm assuming you're talking about an upper-end travel team of young men (i.e., relatively expensive stuff in men's sizes), as opposed to a low-end kid's rec. team??

Are you talking about just a typical "uniform package", i.e., 2 jerseys, 1 home, 1 away - 1 pair of socks and shorts (sometimes they throw in a ball with this, too), where the kid supplies the extras....or are you talking about supplying just about everything....uniform package, plus 1 pair extra socks, windsuit, bag, goalie gloves, wrist guards, etc., where the only thing the kid supplies is his jock and cup, shoes, and special undershirt (compression or sweat absorbing)...

golfmom....the typical "uniform package" is $150.00, multiplied by 15-16 players on a typical team = your ballpark figure...

Note that these costs go higher for high school and more specialized leagues because of the custom jerseys...also, the shoes can get quite expensive if they are supplied...

You know, I've been noodling this idea around for awhile myself. It just seems to me that the report of affairs have been brief. No one really is specifying who he is having affairs with. I just haven't been brave enough to post my thoughts first!

Was it possible knowing what we know now that he could have been bi-sexual?

[ewwwinteresting]

These are adult leagues that we're talking about so I would think that they're more than the typical uniform package. And with Raven's inside connection to get top-of-the line gear I would think that his team was decked out fully.

[golfmom]

Hmmm.............you are probably right. Do we know how many teams Raven played with?
.

I did hear that he played for more than one team. He lost his position on the company team when he was fired.

Well, we know that he didn't live his religion (stealing, affairs, etc.) so I don't think the bi-sexual thing would be that farfetched. What do we really know about his alleged affairs....nothing! Maybe they were with men.

I'm not sure he was, yet I did receive correspondence a few weeks ago that indicated the person writing felt that Raven seemed to "flirt" with men and women both in the office.

That could have been misinterpreted -- you never know. That would make this awfully similar to the Michael Peterson case, though, wouldn't it? Which also, if I recall, occurred in Durham.

What I remember is that co-workers posted that he was unfaithful so maybe someone from work....but it would make sense to have it a fellow soccer player...someone that would understand his passion....of course, there is the possibility of it being multiple partners. That may explain why there hasn't been an "Amber Frye" that has come out in this matter....jmo, of course!

[cappuccina]

...more like $200 or more a player, NOT including shoes...

Also, remember, Mr. Grandiose also probably liked to flaunt cash and take players out for something afterwards, and so on...

BTW...the ONLY reason, I posted about a possible "for hire" theory is that I believe that figuring out who actually committed this murder will depend when she was stabbed, and whether Raven was playing in/at the soccer game for the entire period he said he was...If the the crime clearly occurred during the soccer game, then he had help, otherwise, the murder occured before the game, and Kaiden was just left there (I don't even want to deal with that...)....(Or, he did an "OJ", and left and then returned during a long halftime break, or committed the murder just after the game and cleaned up/changed clothes...)

The questions I have, then are as follows:

1. How far was the soccer field from his house?

2. Did he stay and play for the whole game?

3. Was he there during the halftime break?

4. What is the time estimate of when Janet was stabbed to the time she
was found?

5. Where is the soccer uniform? It's weird to me that on the warrant, the police did not ask for/confiscate the uniform clothes/shoes, etc...

6. Was he a goalie? If so, goalies usually wear gloves and a larger oversized jersey over an undershirt or uniform shirt...easy to take off and discard...

Sorry to digress...didn't know where to put this....my opinion only...

I'll leave everyone else to speculate on the other stuff, like who he was possibly having an affair with! LOL

Thanks to everyone for the hard work they are doing on this!!

[golfmom]

cappuccina,

You put together an excellent list of questions! Unfortunately, until we start getting more info regarding the crime, tod, etc., we're all kindof stuck here.

I think that the hired-hit idea is one worth considering, I was just questioning the "there's no trace evidence" statement. Especially after Janet's family interview ... I'm holding out that there is forensic evidence and we're waiting for the lab.

[ewwwinteresting]

This is what is so frustrating about this case.....no facts. No statements about Janet's TOD, no statements whether Raven's alibi checked out, no statements about what else was examined (besides the first search warrant) where no soccer uniform is included or the searching of his VX or Motorcycle....no statements except it wasn't random and she was stabbed:banghead:

[ewwwinteresting]

Maybe the hit person was a soccer player and they traded gear instead of money????????

[less0305]

We have soccer teams in our recreation department that spend tens of thousands of dollars on equipment, uniforms, trips to play against other leagues all over the United States, security for the games, referees, etc. If you went to one of the games, they are outfitted better than any Olympic team I've ever seen. Their uniforms look like something you can't even imagine. I swear the intricacies in the sewing puts Michael Jackson's royalty vests and arm bands to shame. Gold threads, etc. It's unbelievable!! I never dreamed people put that much money into a sports team that isn't even professional. But they raise money, have fundraisers and fork it over themselves. It blows my mind and I've participated in lots of types of recreation from Nascar to Harley Davidsons to horse shows to swim meets to ball teams.....they outdo anything I've ever been associated with.

[golfmom]

If you went to one of the games, they are outfitted better than any Olympic team I've ever seen.

Less, that is a really interesting observation especially considering that this could be a regional thing and you're in NC.

[ewwwinteresting]

I am surprised we haven't heard from any soccer teammate of Raven's. To my knowledge, nobody has come out and made a statement that he was at the game that night...maybe one of them will post and set us all straight with the soccer gear questions and the time of the game that night??

[SewingDeb]

If it was merchandise, did he sell it on eBay? I wonder if he has an active account on there.

[NCBanker]

Well I've been told by an employee of Eurosport that he was caught accidentally by another employee. This could have happened from one buying from him on eBay, but this is purely speculation.

I've heard exactly the same -- that he was virtually caught by accident, as well. Apparently he'd make dummy accounts in the computer ordering system and then send the items there, but he was always the actual recipient -- this last is a guess, but from the information I've received that's what it looks like. I'd love to see his e-Bay history, but you know, if his e-Bay stuff is inaccessible, it may be because he is still under investigation.

Mr. A

[golfmom]

Try googling FuTBaLrGuY
you can see some ebay stuff, but can't access it other than feedback for a few buyers.

[LvsAMystry]

Great info on the soccer equipment, I thought the issue had been stolen money so it's interesting to learn it was actually merchandise. I bet Golfmom is right that he sold this stuff on ebay. Too bad we can't get a history.

I've been trying to track down the actual soccer game -- I believe, and this is without tracking back to look, that MissYouJanet said he left the house about 7:30 PM and returned about 10:30 PM. If that's the case, I'm going to assume a playing time of one hour, another hour or so to account for warmup, possible late start, chatting, change afterwood, which leaves the last hour for r/t of 30 mins each way. Within those parameters, I tried to look for a league that had a game that fit the timeframe.

I first found the North Carolina Adult Soccer Assn, of which his friend, Daruis Ejlali, is President. NCASA (http://www.ncsoccer.org/ncasa/English.htm)

From there, I looked at the links of clubs/leagues that were in the geographic area that made sense timewise. You can view this info on the "Where to Play" link at top of homepage. Once looking at the different areas and deciding which made sense geographically, I then looked at each club/league to see whether any played the night of the murder. The only one I found is TASL (http://www.triangleadultsoccer.org/). If you go to schedule, you will see the Coed Section C plays on Tuesday nights. There were two games (so 4 teams) that had a game at 8:30 PM on that night, which fits. I wish I could confirm one way or the other, but this is the best I could come up with.

[NCBanker]

I went to the crime scene today. It was raining, slightly, so I was a bit rushed in moving about the site. I got an eerie feeling as I approached the house. It is indeed sheltered from the road - completely. There was no indication that a crime had taken place there - no crime scene tape or anything. As I walked up the gravel driveway, I observed the creek, which is actually just a big ditch with moving water. I tried to take different shots of it, though again, I was rushed because of the rain. There's a dismantled desk in the driveway, which I included in the photos posted below. This may very well be remnants of the one that was in the office. I kept my distance, for some reason. There are several trees, as you can see in the pictures, which appear to be marked for removal. Perhaps the owner is doing this to improve the view and security of the home. The back yard is fenced, and I didn't enter it. There was a storage shed in the back yard, which I photo'd, though I didn't include it - didn't feel it was relevant. I saw the infamous side door and included a shot of it. I also climbed the steps of the front porch to find a pair of soccer shoes, which may be Janet's. They appear to be feminine in style. I peered through the windows to see that carpet had been ripped from the stairs - perhaps the entire house. The home was completely empty. It was apparent that no one is living there. There was a large trashcan outside, though I didn't think to open it. I also wanted to open the mailbox, but I really didn't want to tamper with federal property. This was a virgin experience for me. I hope the pictures provide some visualization. Thanks Golfmom for letting me use your photobucket account! Sorry these aren't in sequence. It would probably tell a better story. I took multiple photos of the creek/ditch because of our indepth discussion of the murderer cleaning up there. From my viewing of the scene, it wouldn't have been my first choice of places to clean up.

NC Banker, you did superb sleuthing!!
Thank you for your hard work and the sharing of the photos!
Is the house for sale or rent by chance?
If so, I wonder if any of us can get a look inside.
Maybe we can contact that landlord who's been quoted in the paper and arrange for a walk through. His name is on the timeline thread. Would be interesting to get his views on the inside of the home...

wonder why the carpet was off the stairs. Was their blood on it?
Was Janet attacked in the bedroom/office or was she attacked in another room of the home and ended up there near a phone or something.

Thanks again!

That picture looks like it had a for sale or for rent sign in it... would the number on that sign be visible? Would any sleuther dare to call it and arrange an inside walk through and photo shoot??
I think it would help us all get a feel of the house and the crime scene too.

A dismantled desk - possibly the one from the office upstairs

This is the desk where the computer must've sat... wasn't there a palm pilot charger and papers taken from that desk, perhaps because they had fingerprints and/or blood splatters on them? I wonder why Raven didn't take the desk when he moved ... or Janet's pretty soccer shoes. That photo was eerie.
The desk might have hidden meaning. Maybe not....wonder if there was blood on it?

[Jenifred]

NCBanker--Would you think that Janet and Raven would have used the side door as their main entrance to the house? Curious to know if the driveway went all the way up there or not.

Good job on the pictures!

[NCBanker]

The home may be for sale or rent, though there is no indication of this on the exterior of the property.

I thought about checking for unlocked doors, but again, I didn't want to be charged with trespassing/breaking and entering. Whether the door is unlocked or not, if you enter, you've "broken" the invisible perimeter of the home.

The sign in front of the home is merely the address and not a for sale sign.

The driveway leads right up to the side door. However, my hunch is that they may have used the front door as well, because of the soccer shoes on the front porch, as if they removed them prior to going inside. Though they could have simply kept them out front because it was covered, and the side entry was not. Some people like to air out their shoes.

wow.............GREAT job NCB!!

.....you have really given us all a feel for the area !

...there's only the one newspaper, someone must be picking it up daily...( raven, when he comes to town to 'assist LE"...?)

...i would assume that LE ripped up that carpeting on the stairs, so quite possibly there was blood there and it's at the crime lab now..

...the desk,, just left out in the middle of the drive like that...odd....

...pics of the creek..........it's so overgrown , now it really amazes me that a dime was found there and listed on the evidence sheet...

...VERY daring of you to get the pics...........(.i'd have been terrified that raven or the owner would drive in !)..thanks again !

[NCBanker]

I didn't get close enough to examine it. I suspected immediately that it was THE desk from the office where she was found. The distance shown in the photo is as close as I got to it. Be sure to note that I included two pictures of it. I started with one, but went back and added it later. The second one is a better shot.

The people who know Scott and Laci have no doubt whatsoever that he has nothing to do with her disappearance. I mean, this was a couple everybody envied. They were just so much in love. I mean, they were a couple, they were partners, they were a team...

~ Sharon Rocha, as quoted by Catherine Crier in A Deadly Game

...I have known Janet all my life as well as her family. I know that everyone is probably looking at Raven as a prime suspect, but I truely believe that Raven is not capable of such a thing. Raven is a very handsome man and Janet a beautiful woman. Any jealous person could have done this(...)

...As a final note, Janet was the most forgiving person I have ever known. I know that she has forgiven whoever did this to her...

~ A person going by "LO" in a comment on this weblog entry (http://www.planethuff.com/darkside/archives/000741.html) at The Dark Side.

I'm reading Crier's book, and the quote by Sharon Rocha is literally the first thing you see. I was struck by the similarity in the comments, though it should be noted that "LO" is not even a relative of the Christiansens.

I have a feeling bells will be going off the entire time I'm reading this book.

That side door is not the same door that we were seeing in the pictures of Kaiden on the counter.

http://www.ravenstree.com/images/Kaiden%20Images/IMGA0417.JPG

Maybe those doors are on the east side? Leading into the back yard?

[PrayersForMaura]

I've heard exactly the same -- that he was virtually caught by accident, as well. Apparently he'd make dummy accounts in the computer ordering system and then send the items there, but he was always the actual recipient -- this last is a guess, but from the information I've received that's what it looks like. I'd love to see his e-Bay history, but you know, if his e-Bay stuff is inaccessible, it may be because he is still under investigation.

Mr. A
I did some searches on ebay. There is a seller named ravenpeters but is listed in the UK.

[NCBanker]

I was completely terrified. I went to bed last night with the thought that someone associated with the crime may be monitoring this thread, and could possibly show up while I was there (remember I posted last night that I was going to go to the crime scene this morning). I felt so stupid for having posted that last night. I could just imagine LE showing up, wanting to know who I'd been talking to associated with case, etc. While I was there, I kept waiting for Raven to come driving up the driveway. I was prepared, however, to talk to him. He and my cousin (another cousin - not the one in LE) attended SVU together. Actually, my cousin attended when Janet went back to school. Raven would visit on the weekends and they would double date with my cousin and his girlfriend.

I felt as if I was doing something wrong by being there. You know, the feeling you get in your gut when you're up to no good? I've experienced it before, so I know what it is!

[misterallgood]

For the entry titled The Murder of Janet Abaroa... On the Record (http://www.planethuff.com/darkside/archives/000741.html) I received the following comment, just a short time ago:

To whomever,

I am sorry but it is very much true that Raven had not only one but MULTIPLE affairs. Even Janet knew this. I do not argue that Janet was a forgiving person, as she did, in fact, forgive him.
Janet was one of the most sweet,trusting, and unfortunatley, naive people I have ever met. She knew what was going on because Raven was so careless with her feelings that he TOLD HER about these affairs. The two were actually seperated when they discovered they were pregnant. Kaiden is the reason why they got back together.

I cannot imagine the pain and grief that Janet went through. I pray for her every day, as well as her family. I do not doubt that she kept all of this to herself, as she was a guarded and private person.

But please PLEASE do not think Raven is a saint because he is good looking and throws around the religous thing. Belive me, it is now and has always been nothing but a tool for his manipulation. Do not take A SINGLE ASPECT of him for granted as being what is appears to be. I could go on, but I do not wish to identify myself as I am sure he will be reading this.

I wish that I did not know these things are true, but I do.

Because the person commented and knew it would be read, as they stated, I felt I could re-post it here.

Mr. A.

[NCBanker]

I didn't go into the back yard, though I did peer around the back of the house. I didn't notice, however, any doors on the back of the house, though there may very well be one.

it looks like in the picture... only one is a real door... the other might be a window. I am wondering what part of the house that is on...

[golfmom]

I don't remember seeing carpet from the stairs in the search warrant!

[PrayersForMaura]

is there a second search warrant that we may not know about?

[vero]

I don't remember seeing carpet from the stairs in the search warrant!
Do we have info that the stairs were carpeted? It seems odd that LE would take the whole thing, rather than just removing portions that were stained.

[NCBanker]

Well if I were the owner of the house and needed to rent it as soon as possible, I would do everything I could to erase the thought that it had been a murder scene. That would mean changing the carpet (to reassure the new buyers that it's clean from any blood), painting, and cutting down trees that seclude the site.

That makes a lot of sense. I would, too.

[Thinkoflaura]

We know that he was close with a few guys through soccer and his vx-club. Any speculations with whom he'd be intimate with ? ? ?
Oh, lordy!! A gay affair, and Janet finding out, would certaintly be motive for murder. Just happened on One Life To Live, BTW. LOL.

Seriously, with his religious background ( sketchy as it is ,it appears that he was trying to be a practicing LDS ,because one of the captions with Kaiden was that they were doing their home teaching lesson, which is a function of the priesthood for LDS) a homosexual affair and discovery by Janet would probably cause him to have to relinquish ALL parental rights. I don't mean this to sound bigoted, but it I was Janet's mother and knew this, I would have flown her to Mexico or somewhere for a quickie divorce.
A murder plot with a gay lover as the alibi could well be the sticking point right now.
Just speculation.. I hadn't even considered that he might be bi-sexual. God, I must be getting OLD.

Note to Raven: Hon, you are just going to LUV prison. :)

[Thinkoflaura]

I wonder if that is a mostly rental district. I only see one pool.
I've always read that rental areas have higher violent crimes.. not sure why though.

Well, we know that he didn't live his religion (stealing, affairs, etc.) so I don't think the bi-sexual thing would be that farfetched. What do we really know about his alleged affairs....nothing! Maybe they were with men.
And I have been sitting here wondering for days why no woman had come forth and sold her story to the NE or other tab!!! Maybe there wasn't " another woman".

[NCBanker]

This is actually mostly residential. I noticed no other visible rental properties. Visible meaning out of place, not well kept, cars in the yard, etc. I was actually surprised that the neighborhood was as nice as it was.

I wonder if that is a mostly rental district. I only see one pool.
I've always read that rental areas have higher violent crimes.. not sure why though.

[Thinkoflaura]

We may have something here!!!
I had a very strong reaction to this, a " Yes" kind of thing.. It so totally makes sense. He was competitive with men, he felt himself to be inferior to other men, he boasted and tried to curry favor with other men. We know NOTHING about his actions towards other women, except that he had indiscriminate sex while he and Janet were separated, and took that to mean " with women".

He was very anxious to be noticed by and to please MEN. We have absolutely NO information that would suggest that he was into attracting women to him. Nothing.
That could be one reason that his " soccer background information" was padded.. He wanted to appear to be more of a jock type than he was.

Also, my husband would not be caught dead in all that logo stuff. He thinks it's very sissified, and he is only about 6 years older than Raven.
You can clearly see some of it in the background of the shot with him holding Kaiden at the computer the day before the murder. He was also wearing a shirt with a logo on it.

[Thinkoflaura]

No, once the team has their jersey and stuff they're good. So the total to deck them out for a season would be $1-2,000 total. Then they can also reuse much of the gear for a few seasons too.

I figure he did take care of his buddies on the team, but also had a nice side business going off ebay. There was a FuTBaLrGuY ebayer that I can't pull the records for.I couldn't find that much on eBay. I found these two records:
futballguy (http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReturnUserEmail&requested=futballguy&frm=2624) ( 8 (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=futballguy) ) 2 years 7 months OR, United States

No selling of sports equipment on the two other names either.
SamuelPeters has NO activity. If he had ever used the account, it would still have info.
Samuelpeter was a seller of old flatware and some fugly Pyrex bowls.. Interesting that they were yellow and placed in the shape of a beehive for the photo though.. Beehive state is Utah, place where Mormons get temple garments is called The Beehive.

[Thinkoflaura]

Thank you so much for the photos. I'm glad she had a nice little house. The setting is very pretty. A few thoughts: unless Janet had enormous sized feet, I would say those are mens 10.5 sized shoes, the size Raven wears.

If police took the desk apart, why didn't they remove it from the premises for lab testing?
I wonder if it was broken in a struggle in the office room during the murder!

What was that stuff on the ground by the creek which looked to be a maroon color or a shade of red? Did all the vegetation appear normal and intact to you?

Thanks so much for going and taking these great photos.

I went to the crime scene today. It was raining, slightly, so I was a bit rushed in moving about the site. I got an eerie feeling as I approached the house. It is indeed sheltered from the road - completely. There was no indication that a crime had taken place there - no crime scene tape or anything. As I walked up the gravel driveway, I observed the creek, which is actually just a big ditch with moving water. I tried to take different shots of it, though again, I was rushed because of the rain. There's a dismantled desk in the driveway, which I included in the photos posted below. This may very well be remnants of the one that was in the office. I kept my distance, for some reason. There are several trees, as you can see in the pictures, which appear to be marked for removal. Perhaps the owner is doing this to improve the view and security of the home. The back yard is fenced, and I didn't enter it. There was a storage shed in the back yard, which I photo'd, though I didn't include it - didn't feel it was relevant. I saw the infamous side door and included a shot of it. I also climbed the steps of the front porch to find a pair of soccer shoes, which may be Janet's. They appear to be feminine in style. I peered through the windows to see that carpet had been ripped from the stairs - perhaps the entire house. The home was completely empty. It was apparent that no one is living there. There was a large trashcan outside, though I didn't think to open it. I also wanted to open the mailbox, but I really didn't want to tamper with federal property. This was a virgin experience for me. I hope the pictures provide some visualization. Thanks Golfmom for letting me use your photobucket account! Sorry these aren't in sequence. It would probably tell a better story. I took multiple photos of the creek/ditch because of our indepth discussion of the murderer cleaning up there. From my viewing of the scene, it wouldn't have been my first choice of places to clean up.

Hi guys,

What a sad picture of the shoes - I think it might be the angle that makes them look a little bigger - Janet wore about a women's size 8 1/2. It makes me sad to see that he left her shoes there. Cleaned out all his stuff and moved it all out but left her shoes there ignored and discarded. That is so sad. Callous.

That says a lot. About Raven.

That really does say a lot about his character, huh? I think that I would probably sleep with any reminder of my deceased spouse that I could possibly find in order to feel closer to them. How sad that he just left the shoes.

I am so psyched to have actually found something myself. :)
Usually I am the one standing in the middle of the road going " What truck?"
I must say, though, that eBay was, unfortunately, very familiar to me. Past tense.

LE needs to know all of this. They can track his activity through eBay's records. Of course, we know what he was selling, but still.... this is hard evidence of it and they may not have the eBay records.

I can make sure it gets passed on. But, I suspect they already have this info.

I usually end up saying "What deer?" .... Why can't I ever see those suckers!

BTW ........... GREAT JOB!!!!!

Can they really track that kind of stuff without his computer? IMO, it looks like this investigation is not very thorough. But what do I know, really?

This totally makes my day. :)
I also think there may be truth to the DC moniker. He may have used it online at a dating site. They are often for gays or bi-sexual people who want to be anonymous until first meeting.

The desk wasn't broken. It was actually carefully taken apart. I have some experience with these types of desks, and they aren't easy to put together much less take apart. I imagine LE or the landlord carefully dismantled it in either getting a piece for testing, or to get it completely out of the house. It's also possible Raven took it apart and intends to pick it up. They may have had him get it out because the new carpet is scheduled to by installed shortly.

Relative to the creek, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I tried to imagine someone running down to it to wash up, and it just doesn't seem plausible. It's too overgrown.

Yes, those could be ladies 8.5 narrow width. Would fit with Janet's size.

I still think the desk has been BROKEN not dismantled.

Jennifred, Ebay has offices. They keep records of all transactions. In fact, eBay's phone number for power sellers, in case anyone wants to phone them is
1-800-322-9266

I can see a large irregular shaped piece which, to my untrained eye, appears to be broken. I guess it was cut to fit the space or something.
What kind of desk is it? A do it yourself Sauder type product or Ikea or what?
Looks abandoned to me.. would it still be good to go after being out in rain, etc for a month? I agree that it is in pieces to remove it from the house..
Of course, the computer or computers were already gone. How ironic that, out of all things remaining of Janet and Raven, the thing remaining of hers are a pair of her soccer shoes, her passion.
Raven left his computer desk behind, computers being his " dream job".
