I'm kinda' but not every minute. Course, nothing changes from day to day. For the past week the mom is STILL in jail and is STILL lying.

Grandma Cindy is STILL making excuses for her lying daughter.

She showed LE the apartment building just not the exact apartment because she's afraid whoever has Caylee will harm her if she tells.

BS.......that grama needs to wake up a smell the coffee. Her daughter is lying to her, can't she see that? Poor grma and grpa and

poor Caylee. :( I fear she's no longer with us. I just wish her mom would tell everyone where to find her.

Honestly, that case is too frustrating for me to watch. You know Caylee is out there and you feel every minute is crucial, yet Caylee's mom sits there and holds the world at bay. I get very upset at her. Wanna just shake her.

Course, she is innocent until proven guilty. Of what though?

I've actually tried a post or so a day over there. LOL, they ignore me. I've NEVER received one response on that board. I'm invisible. heehee

It doesn't matter, I don't have that much time to put into it anyway. Phew, this case takes enough time as it is. LOL, so much effort. ;)

On the Caylee case, it's easier for me to look at an article online than to try and find out from going to the forum here. I'm not that up to speed on the case, so I don't understand what 1/2 the stuff is they're talking about.

fran

PS.......on Caylee's case, I'd rather just skip to the ending. She's still missing. Where is she?

[mahmoo]

I'm telling myself to stay positive about the case but have a feeling LE is gonna be announcing murder charges here shortly.

I think it's amazing how many new people have joined to follow both of these cases.

You know, that young woman had to have done something to her little girl. I mean it can't be positive or she would have been more forthcoming with LE. She wouldn't just leave everyone hanging, including her mom and dad and brother, AND stay in jail for two weeks saying absolutely nothing.

Reminds me of the Natalee Holloway case. The guys knew all they had to do was keep their mouth shut until the allowed time was up and they were free to go.:mad:

Fran, I'm not posting much here but reading everything. I have this feeling that there was an accident and the whole thing was a cover up. I think Grandma Cindy knows this is the reason she's not coming forward.

In other words, since Cindy knows this but doesn't want to say or do anything to make LE think it was a murder. I think a grandma would rather a grandchild die from accident than be murdered. Easier to take!

No, I don't belive this beautiful child is alive.

So Sad.

I'm glad this thread was started. I haven't been following the Caylee case - can't do it with children. I did it with the little Runion girl in Riverside and after that I said no more. I was a mess.

I just have a question about the case, however. I've read that the mother is in jail - what has she been charged with? I wouldn't dare ask something like this on that forum, lol. Probably wouldn't get a response anyways!

7-16-08 Casey is arrested on charges of child neglect and lying to authorities

I went over and pulled this off the timeline over there. Now, go kiss your babies goodnight and give some thanks to your Higher Power. :) And some prayers for Caylee, too.

[SleuthyGal]

The authorities are buying time because they had a limited time in which to charge her with something or else release her. So now she'll stay in jail, still on the $500K bond, which the family can't meet, and they will continue to probe and investigate the disappearance.

Hi Love_Mama!

Glad to see ya on this forum.

Almost another week gone by and there's no progress on Caylee's case nor this one. Well, that we can see in the public eye. IMO, LE is busy working behind the scenes.

I was sorry I missed Tricia on the radio the other nite. I understand she's going to be on again. I'll make it a point to listen this time.

[Cheyenne130]

On the off topic category, I wanted to add my 20 cents (inflation, you know!) to the topic of intelligence and spelling. It's been my experience that good spellers are very visual and possibly anal (I speak from personal experience) people. Intelligence has nothing to do with it. I have been in classes with very intelligent Phds who couldn't spell correctly if their lives depended on it. I wanted to throw that out earlier but I was very busy (with a beautiful baby. Priorities.)

[Cheyenne130]

It sounds like that's a rationalization for something.

I guess it could be but my spelling is probably above average. My significant other, not so much. But he's very intelligent. I was just speaking from years of observation. There are some really smart people who don't seem to be all that particular about correct spelling. They don't seem to care.

Cary and North Raleigh are the 2 most competitive against each other. Many years ago when I was working at a local hospital the staff was always competing who had what or which area had the most. I was actually skeptical moving from N.Raleigh to Cary years ago just because of what was being said. I have to say I would not leave Cary.

I've been doing a little research.

The blue shirt on John Edwards in the Enquirer photo looks
like the one he had on in the webepisode where they went
to Uganda and all the children sang like they do in
Out of Africa. Maybe it's possible that a picture was taken
in Uganda (that would explain some of the sweat) and he
was actually holding a baby but not that baby. Or maybe it
was the baby in Uganda, and he was holding it kind of weirdly
like he is doing and he was wondering what a white baby
was doing in that tiny Ugandan village? Anyway, I think
it's kind of interesting that the tshirts look very much the same.

Also, how is Rielle pronounced? So far I've heard it pronounced
RE Elle, Rye Elle, Rye e Elle, and Riley.

The introduction of Pidgeon/Pigeon O'Brien was an unexpected
delight today.

I'll assume that most of the locals also know what C.A.R.Y. represents. For those that don't Cary is the Containment Area for Relocated Yankess. Cary was a small town at one time. In 2000 is about when Cary began to explode with - well the Yankees invading.

ETA - because of the location and easy commute to RTP area, Cary became the perfect spot for building new homes and raising families. It is NOT all "yankees" that have decided to make a home in Cary. Just a little joke from years ago....

Seems to me that when IBM opened a facility here a long time ago (maybe in the 70s or 80s?) that started quite a movement of people from up north, specifically from NY state.

As a born and bred Southerner, sometimes I miss our old ways, the politeness and genteelity (is that a word?) of southern culture. But, frankly, it has been good for the South to have a mix of cultures come here. It has made us much better and certainly one of the best places to live.

I have learned a lot from my Northern neighbors. Not only that, I learned a lot from my immediate neighbors from Canada, Russia, Argentina, South Africa, and Spain!

[Star12]

My daughters went to the ESL magnet elementary school in Raleigh. Lots of people there from RTP - lots of different cultures, which were totally embraced in school functions. It was wonderful for my children to experience, and they still reap the rewards of that cultural exchange.

[ncnative]

Topsail Girl, CaryIsHome is correct. Cary became the bedroom community of IBM and other Research Triangle Park workers, as well as NC state employees, WAY back before 2000.

The IBM "movement" happened in the late 1960s, early 1970s and boomed from that. One of the first big IBM neighborhoods in Cary was on Maynard Road, just past the high school. Actually there were two. One is Greenwood Forest (or is it Tanglewood) and I can't think of the other just a block or so down Maynard from that.

I've been here over 30 years. There was no mall, very few stoplights and these two developments were out in the country! We didn't get a stoplight at Maynard Rd. and Kildaire Farm Rd. til maybe the 1980's? As usual, I can't remember!

Cary used to be mainly longtimers, then IBMers and state employees, in the early boom years. I feel like it's become a madhouse of developments, many "Wisteria Lane" type of neighborhoods, bulging at the seams. Tons of children. We are nearing the age of husband's retirement years. We are ready to get out of Lochmere and find our niche.

I'm not much on country music either. I went there on business and my husband tagged along so we could have a little vacation. I was totally surprised that it didn't seem to matter that I'm not crazy about country music. We heard so much good music - for free! I saw probably the best acoustic guitar player I have ever seen or heard.

We went to the Wildhorse and the distillery. It's ironic, I think, that the county where the Jack Daniels Distillery is is a dry county! Maybe they had some problems in the past with so much booze being around...:crazy:

I suppose I estimated 2000 for the big growth because that's when I got out of Cary because it was getting too crowded to suit me.

ohhh Well I've learned from my neighbors who are Mexican that the 15th birthday of a young lady is the most important day of her life besides her wedding day. The parties for 15 year olds can cost as much as 20 thousand american dollars if the family can afford it, often to the point of selling belongings in order to pay for the party.

Everything tastes better with chorizo. ;-) (my personal favorite) ETA - there are several different types of chorizo and all of them do NOT contain saliva glands from pigs THANK GOD!!!!!

The average vietnamese only ate meat about once a week in their native country. Chicken is a delicacy for them. One of the hardest adjustments for them to make coming to this country is the abundance of food and the WASTE of food. In vietnamese my name means GOLD.

Honduran men and mexican men do not like each other. Each thinks the other is "beneath" them.

The Spanish language is spoken very differenlt depending on where in Mexico or other Latin American countries you were raised.

I've learned to speak Spanish though I'm not very good at it yet.

The Spanish language is spoken very differenlt depending on where in Mexico or other Latin American countries you were raised.

I've learned to speak Spanish though I'm not very good at it yet.

Well keep working hard and you might learn
some Chinese while you're at it.

Ha I don't think I can do it. Spanish is not too bad - it is a much simpler language than English for sure. I work with a lot of Latin American people in my job so I try to learn a new word or phrase everyday. It makes communicating with them more fun and easier..

So, Wikipedia says Cary has about 112,000 people. Now I've been here for going on 20 years. In all that time I have seen only one cemetary here; a small church cemetary in the downtown area.

So what happens to people here when they die? My guess is they return to where they came from, and I guess that is not Cary.

I think that speaks to the influx of people from other areas. For you local people, what do you think?

My sister sent this to me, who btw knows little to nothing about the NC case. When I 1st read it I thought it was a joke because it said IRONMAN (BC) and she is always sending me jokes...it was no joke at all but a true story...

Be prepared to pull out the kleenex because I needed it and feel sure you will...Some IRONMEN are not too busy for their children and will include them!

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me? The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.

One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes'.

Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile(42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island .

Father and son went on to complete the race together. View this:

Any locals going to the Lazy Daze Festival tomorrow? It looks like relatively cool weather for the festival. 87 degrees is better than 99 a couple of years ago!

For non-locals, Lazy Daze is a one-day arts & crafts festival that attracts 40-60,000 to small downtown Cary.

Now, I don't mean to spark a huge debate here about what should be done or not done about our fiscal issues. This forum is not the place.

However, the film makers make an excellent moral argument that we are living off our children's future.

I wonder if anyone else has seen the movie? Also, if anyone ever has the opportunity to see it, I highly recommend it.

My niece is hoping to get back to see if her place is still standing asap (first they have to go to Houma, thus the delay).

A real mess :( and, like you, my thoughts are with those in the storm's path. Way too much water... But happy y'all are good!!

I've never been in a hurricane, but when I lived on the Oregon Coast, we once got a 100 + mile an hour storm. We never did find out the full force of the winds, it blew the guage off the tower at the airport! It did knock down a tree in back of our house and made the power wires along Hwy 101 look like spaghetti thrown to the side of the road.

I guess now all you have to do is wait for Ike! :eek:

Stay safe and enjoy the rain. Sounds like a lovely way to spend a lazy weekend afternoon, cuddled, dry, inside reading a good book, listening to the pitter-patter of rain drops. :)

Interesting...

Raleigh, N.C. — Dozens of search warrants, some dating as far back as 1992, were recently unsealed by a Wake County judge in an effort to make public records available to the public in a timely manner.

In May, Judge Donald Stephens handed down an order saying warrants that police have executed must be returned to the court in a timely manner and agencies must follow specific guidelines for sealing and unsealing these documents.

Mention of Cooper case:

Martin represented Capitol Broadcasting Company and The News and Observer in seeking to unseal warrants in the murder of Cary mother-of-two Nancy Cooper. Those warrants were unsealed last week.

I am totally shocked!

Sorry to say this but...........'What is in the water in NC?'

Here we are on the Nancy Cooper forum, talking about her murder. It's, of course unsolved.

There's also the Michelle Young case, unsolved. (she was pregnant)

The Janet Abaroa case, unsolved. (she was pregnant)

There's the Wynn case. Unsolved.

There were how many military women murdered just this year? 3, 4? Solved

Now they're searching for missing Kelly Morris. Her house caught on fire and she's missing.

Here's another! Geneva Parham's remains, (they believe), were located in her burned residence.

ALL of these have a COMMON DENOMINATOR!! Unhappy marriage or recently separated!

I just read today that North Carolina has the 9th highest murder rate of women. The majority of female homicides are by someone close to them.

Doesn't North Carolina allow divorce?

Unbelieveable!

PS...FWIW, I'm really not knocking North Carolina. I know it's a beautiful state and generally a safe place. Just not safe for unhappily married women, I guess. Hey, I live in California, LOL........we're home of Hollyweird! We all have our crosses to bare! ;)

It is rather appalling! I lived in CA (northern) at the time of the O.J. case. Never did get over that travesty. And then there was Scott Peterson. Of course Michael Peterson was holding his end up in Durham at the time. :eek: Thank goodness the Scott Peterson case was not under the jurisdiction of Wake County's DA...we'd still be waiting. In fact, I think if a woman starts to date a man with the last name of Peterson..."RUN FORREST RUN!"

It takes eons for cases to get solved here too. Most of the time they never are solved. We're probably on the list for highest rate of missing children. Really sad. :(

One is pointed in the general direction of HT, but the slope of the camera is of course at the WM parking lot, and also there are waaay many trees in the way -- for you out-of-towners this area landscapes in its parking lots (trees, flowers, shrubs, etc.)

Well, I wanna tell ya, this ain't yer mamma's A&P. Holy smollee, it's a huge M-F store! And by M-F, I mean that I could spend Monday through Friday there and still not see everything! Probably one of the largest groceries I have ever been in. Produce has everything you could possibly want, and it all looks fresh and inviting. Bread has an island kiosk for its fancy breads, and it is staffed. Same with cheeses. I forget just how many hot food bars they have. And they have a sushi section that actually looks fresh and inviting. And a hot pizza area - by the slice and looks Oh! so good. And a nice sized, welcoming dining area. Fresh fish in quantity and quality. Aisle after aisle after aisle of foodstuffs. The prices were typical HT prices - a little higher than most stores, waaay higher than Aldi - but I found some things priced quite competitively with Aldi and Food Lion. After at least if not more than an hour of roaming, I did manage to reluctantly tear myself away, and without buying a single thing. I had to do the same thing at Barnes and Noble the other day - I actually felt my "leaving" body rip away from my "no, I want to stay" body. The variety at that HT is enormous. I'll go back. It's like a museum of groceries! (While B&N is the shrine of books - and let's not talk about Amazon...)

.........I always wondered what a flagship store is. Now I know.

[ncnative]

Star12, I'm so glad you had a nice adventure in the Crescent Commons HT.:rocker: I'm hoping that all the WS folks will want to meet up at that HT once Nancy Cooper's killer is hauled in. I know where I'm NOT going, and that's Java Jive. HT is huge, with the outdoor seating area/coffee shop.

Don't forget our latest Cary NC murder: Herrera-Diaz murder. The woman was killed last week, I think, only a mile or so from Nancy Cooper's neighborhood (and mine). These guys who kill must see that they will have a nice long vacation, if not permanent even if they kill their wife or girlfriend, from the history here in Cary. The guy who did it is in custody, I believe (so he won't be getting a vacation like Cooper and J. Young). I've lost track over the weekend. Please don't forget this woman!

[Anderson]

Well, there hasn't been much discussion lately. I imagine that other cases have emerged and they also need attention. Gosh - another one in the Cary area? Is there a club for these guys? I wonder if they have an online presence (just joking).

I do hope that BC doesn't manage to silence those who care about NC with the recent subpoenas. I think that this approach makes him look like he has things to hide. As someone has noted, so much for the social structure that his girls are familiar with. Did the girls really hang out with SH on a regular basis in the same way that they did with NC's close friends? I think not.

I think that it is so important to maintain public interest in the case, and according to Tricia this is one of the ways that WS can make a difference. I think that BC would want to keep the case in the news, if he wasn't guilty and in the spotlight (IMO). If he is not guilty and is interested in having the case solved, I think, he would be talking to her friends for support.

[SleuthyGal]

Well, I wanna tell ya, this ain't yer mamma's A&P. Holy smollee, it's a huge M-F store!

That was my reaction my first time in there too! In fact I didn't make it past the hot food island the first time! I was overwhelmed that first time! It makes going to Kroger a depressing experience in comparison.

[jmflu]

At first I thought you were talking about the Wal-Mart!!! LOL!!! What a dismal store!!! I have to say, the WM in Holly Springs, the brand-new one, is awesome!!! I was stunned to see motion detectors installed in the frozen food aisle. You get close, the lights come on!!! You move away, they go off!!! I started running up and down the aisles just to make the lights come on!!! Terrific entertainment!!

But seriously, I go to that HT almost every day for lunch. Their subs are 1/2 price, each day a different one, and it commands quite a line.

See why those of us who've been at Websleuths for any length of time become cynical when these stories break?! :waitasec:

heh! First time I heard that I was looking around like WTF!! Then I saw the 'rain' and understood what they were trying to do. And for those keeping track, Lowe's produce is at least 3x as fresh and 2x less bruised than Kroger's, though it's more expensive too.

If you notice (and I have) when a crime is committed against a woman in counties OTHER than Wake County, then the husband/BF/sig. other is often arrested fairly quickly.

Now compare that to WAKE COUNTY.

That is so disheartening. Of course I know nothing about these things, but isn't there a way to put public pressure on these authorities??:confused:
After reading Mom's comment on the general discussion board, I have to admit that it really upsets me that he is still walking around. I mean if this was the general practice across the board (if all counties responded in the same way), then I could understand it. At the moment the message seems to be if you are going to commit this sort of crime, then this is a good place to do it and you may even get a bit of a holiday (as I believe Fran mentioned). I wonder when he will be allowed back to work. Disheartening.:mad:

I understand the frustration, I surely do. These are still (relatively) early days in the Cooper case compared to what we've seen in the Michelle Young murder case. Coming up on TWO YEARS!! And a much messier crime scene from what it appears. What possible ADDITIONAL evidence is the DA going to get in that case? And still...he waits...and waits. No one can ever accuse our DA of not being 'patient' and 'careful.' (maybe someone should check his pulse to see that he is still, in fact, alive)!

Get some one in office who will come down hard on the males who kill their wives and girlfriends. And get Jenna's law passed!

"Police now say they believe Caylee, whose third birthday was Aug. 9, is dead based on forensic evidence of a decomposing body and DNA matching that of the toddler found in Anthony's car."

What more do the police need to make a freakin' arrest?!

I know there is a whole Caylee section, but it's too overwhelming and I haven't been following the case like others have so I just thought I'd ask this question here!

Today is a good day. I helped to catch a criminal today. Several months ago a lady had her wallet taken at a convenience store. I happened to drive up and see a policeman friend of mine talking to her. A few days later he had me meet him at the store to look at the video to see if it was anyone that I recognized. I didn't but a pointed out a few special things about the vehicle. I told him that I would run across that car one day and today is the day. I had just pulled into the Walmart Parking lot and saw what I thought was the car. I got the tag first and then called my friend. He was only 3 minutes away. She was putting her packages into the car when he drove up. She said that the car in the picture and the lady in the picture was her (even though she now has dark hair instead of blond); but that she had taken her wallet into the store. The video says otherwise. So it was her. One less bad guy who thought they would get away with it. Turns out she lives in the one neighborhood that I wouldn't ride through. I told them long ago just to ride through there and they would find the car. (Something about intuition or just a feeling)

I just want to comment briefly on the points raised by Roy in the thread on BC's lawyers. As far as I can tell, the conversation on websleuths is simply that, a conversation. We are following the case. I have learned so much about the way that murder cases evolve from various posters here at websleuths. Everyone shares their expertise, knowledge and other information that may be relevant to the case. Roy, you are certainly entitled to your opinion(s). I think this is a wonderful community where a wide range of views can coexist.

Would someone post the link to the "golo" place? I found the "golo" blog site (I think) but couldn't find posts on the Cooper case (?). Help much appreciated.

[SleuthyGal]

Golo seems to work differently from what I've found. It's based on being able to comment on specific news articles when they are published, but I haven't found a general golo forum in which topics are always available. So if there are no articles on your topic of interest there won't be anywhere on golo to talk about them. Then when an article gets published on the news site people can make their comments utilizing the golo platform, but only along with that article. It's really not a forum per se, as an addition to a news article in which the public can respond back with their comments.

Yes, and it is more of a "make a statement" type of place where people feel free to bash anyone and everyone because they are anonymous and just can. There are regulars on there, and they even bash each other!

What I did to find the story was go to the WRAL.com site, click on the story (if it's not on the front page, click on "News" and it will list all the recent stories).

Sure would be wonderful to have some of the thoughtful writers on this forum go on there and turn those trolls around!

I can't imagine trying to have a conversation on golo since it's not setup to do that AND it doesn't attract an audience that is prepared (or necessarily able or interested) to use either higher thinking skills or common sense. Since time is the most precious resource one has, is golo the best use of one's online time? For me, it is not. I'd probably have more success trying to teach my dog to read the works of Shakespeare!

I think the plus sign is put there by the WS software to indicate the person is on your 'friends' list.

That would depend on the brand of watch and where you have it done. Do-it-yourself, yes, would be about $4.00. Jeweler or watch repair, significantly more. Fancy smanzie watch like Movado could run about $75.00 - has to be sent out to be done. Timex at WM would be about $4.00.
