You are amazing. Will be on cbc in just a bit

[Tricia]

Because the posters here are so on top of things the CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Company in Edmonton, is going to interview me in about 30 minutes about Websleuths, this case, and posting on the Internet about true crime. The host is Ron Wilson

Here is the link.

http://www.cbc.ca/edmonton/

You all are making quite a splash in Canada. :)

There might be some negative things said about us too. I am sure the host will be a great interviewer who will present two sides to the issue of true crime discussions. Some like us...some don't.

You guys ROCK:woohoo::woohoo:

[angelmom]

I hope I am listening to the right live link. It is sports talk right now.

No clue who they are talking about.

[Jess]

You will be on at 7:15 mountain time !!! I'm listening ! LOL

[angelmom]

They just teased it saying it will be on in 15 minutes.

[Jess]

They're doing national and International news now.

[christine2448]

Big thanks to Seriously Searching and Blink34 who worked all weekend to pull together case summary, key players, and WS/Media information so that Tricia could get prepared for this interview.

Thanks U 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!:blowkiss::blowkiss:

[christine2448]

If your listening, can someone recap...no sound at work :(

[Jess]

I'll try and take notes. Hopefully some of my friends from the Edmonton area will hear the interview and begin to understand my addiction to WS ! :D

[Beyond Belief]

talking about bears right now?

[angelmom]

yup!

I'll try to take some notes.

traffic and weather right now.

[Beyond Belief]

taking about Nancy Cooper

[angelmom]

Parents just returned with 2 daughters.

Memorial service will be held.

No suspects.


Weird to hear Tricia's voice!!!

Telling what WS is.

[Beyond Belief]

Tricia say good morning, now explanation of Ws

[angelmom]

This case has taken off.

Q: Who belongs?

Everyone from ex LE to ex military to lots of lawyers to young people who want to get involved. All over the world.

Anonymous. Free.

Q: Why are they so interested in NC?

Formula. Loving mother who disappears. Husband who didn't report her missing - red flag to WS members. We know it is going to steamroll and grow bigger and bigger, and that's exactly what happened.

[Beyond Belief]

Nancy Cooper case takes off.
We help missing children and families. etc.
Free
Get involved
Who gets involved.
T Lots of lawyers, police officers, regular people from all over the world. T does not whose on WS, Users use hats.
Formula For NC case, great mom, h does not report missing. WS members know its going to get bigger. More media attention in media and WS.
Steam roll , t personally believes because a friend reports missing instead of husband, makes antennae go up. Does T become part of investigation? Rarely.

[Beyond Belief]

T expect LE to be reading on WS.
Talk abt drawing conclusion before tried.
REF to Elizabeth Smart case.
Lesson not to convict until....
Whats posted on WS is wha tmost people are thinking.
Welcome Brads lawyer to come on and post.

[angelmom]

We do have LE from all over the world reading.

Q: do you ever become part of the investigation?

Rarely. Sometimes we don't even know they are reading there. Occasionally she gets a subpoena b/c they believe a poster has info. All she has is an email and IP address, so not too much help.

Q: Sometimes people make up their own minds, can be the downside of a website. How big of a concern is that for you?

A very big concern. Remembering back to Elizabeth Smart. Her big lesson about not convicting an innocent person. Only discussing people in the public domain. What we're posting on WS is what most people are thinking.

If BC or his attorney want to come on and post, we'd welcome them. We are just going by what we hear in the media.

[WI Friend]

Wow. She was great. So well-spoken.

[angelmom]

That's it. What a great job Tricia does of not sounding like a kook!

:crazy::crazy::crazy:

We have them totally fooled.

:blowkiss:

[Jess]

Tricia explained Websleuths- on line community that discusses true crime
- who belongs ? runs the gamut from ex policemen, lots of lawyers to ordinary people
- from all over the world
-" I don't know who they are"
- why NC case has taken off
- first big red flag-- a husband who did not report her missing
- makes our attenna go up

Lots of law enforcement get on and read
occasionally ( rarely ) will WS become involved
Occasionally will get a subpoena about a poster who seems to have info
Unfortunately can only give an ip and a e-mail

people will draw their own conclusions

last thing thing she wants is to accuse an innocent person ( ref to Elizabeth Smart case)

But once a person is in the public domain .....
What we post on WS is what the public is thinking

Occasionally there is inside info ( as in theis case)

[Beyond Belief]

That's it. What a great job Tricia does of not sounding like a kook!

:crazy::crazy::crazy:

We have them totally fooled.

:blowkiss:
LOL now all those folks living in that cold area will be in here reading our words.

[Jess]

LOL now all those folks living in that cold area will be in here reading our words.

Lots of us already are ! :D

We're expecting 82 degrees today ! not so cold! ( We're using centigrades not Fahrenheit ! )

You bet we have them fooled. I put my 89 cats in the other room. Took my pet wolf and let him run outside, double dosed on my meds, took a swig of Vodka and there ya go... makes me sound normal...

just kidding guys. The most I did was drink coffee

[headndownstream]

I missed it but it sounds like hard work this weekend and a good job. Pat on back Tricia!

[Tricia]

Big thanks to Seriously Searching and Blink34 who worked all weekend to pull together case summary, key players, and WS/Media information so that Tricia could get prepared for this interview.

Thanks U 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!:blowkiss::blowkiss:

BIG HEARTFELT THANKS TO SERIOUSLY SEARCHING AND BLINK 34

You should have seen the info they provided me. Nancy Grace should be so lucky to have people like Seriously Searching and Blink34.

Because of the time spent on the other crap that went down this weekend, I literally did not have one second to get myself up to date on the case. (see what I mean by taking time away from what's important? That's what gets me so mad when I have to deal with jerks like that group)

I got up at 6 AM and read all their great work and I was up to date and ready for anything.

You guys do it all. Keep it up. This case is getting bigger and bigger and thanks to you all people can become involved and help.

Loveya,
Tricia

[Tricia]

Wow. She was great. So well-spoken.

What a wonderful compliment. I am humbled by it. Thank you.

My job, since 1980, has been "in the media." Radio, TV and the like. I am old bat and don't know a whole lot in life but I do know the media. Still, I get nervous. Don't want to sound like an idiot. Been there. Done that.:crazy:

ROFL. You go Girl. One door closes and then just look at the one that opened for you. :bananapowerslide::bananapowerslide::bananapowersl ide::bananapowerslide::bananapowerslide::bananapow erslide:Go Tricia...Go Tricia...Go Tricia.

[christine2448]

I haven't seen that dancing banana...HILARIOUS!

[curiositycat]

It's the partying banana...LOL. I am so sorry I didn't sign on in time to listen. Is there anywhere we can find the interview on the web?

[cochrngj]

I tried to find the interview on the CBC website but found only links to articles written in the past week. Has anyone found the interview yet? If so, please post a link.

[Rosco]

want to listen.. post if u find it!
U GO TRICIA!!!
Rosco

[SeriouslySearching]

It was my pleasure to help you, Tricia! I didn't get to hear the interview so I am anxiously awaiting a replay. I had no doubt you were going to be great since you are a seasoned pro at this sort of thing. :)

Were you asked anything specifically about the case?

[Tricia]

Nothing specifically was asked other than why the interest in the case. Nothing about the evidence or anything posted here.

[SeriouslySearching]

LOL Well...at least you were prepared if he did ask plus you never know who may be calling now for another interview in the near future. :)

Way to go Tricia! I wasn't able to hear it, but could tell from the other posters, that you did a wonderful job. I just joined WS, due to being local in the NC case. I really think this is a wonderful site. Off topic: saw your address, and wondered if you are single. My brother is 38, single, and living in Park City. Wouldn't that be something...a blind date set up on WS. LOL

[DeltaDawn]

Wow Tricia that is fantastic! You did a super job..and you had two wonderful lady sleuths to work with on this interview. Blink and SS are the best! :woohoo:

[fran]

Wow! I didn't get to hear the interview, but congratulations Tricia. It's always nice to be recognized for what you do. I'm glad to see Websleuths is being recognized by the media. You should be very proud!

Kudos to Seriously Searching and Blink34 too!

:)

[Magister]

I'm another who hasn't found an archived copy of the interview, but I also haven't gone through and listened to all of their newscasts.

With that said and offered as an explanation if it was referenced in the audiocast, and I just don't know it, but in this morning's Edmonton Sun, a columnist did one of those usual articles theorizing as to why this case is getting such treatment in both American and Canadian media, but their local murders and those of poor aboriginals have gone under-reported.

I didn't post this morning's link to the "media' subforum because he's really only using Nancy's case as the foundation or jumping-off point, but it might explain why some of questions asked of Tricia were about "why this case". And, because the "bleach" question at the police press conference was from a CBC Radio - Edmonton reporter, obviously somebody up there has been reading this site.

[adnoid]

Sorry I missed an opportunity to hear your voice! Glad it went well.

[Jovin]

LOL now all those folks living in that cold area will be in here reading our words.

I live in Canada, (Niagara Falls Ontario) and it's sure not cold where I am! I really haven't heard anything about WS being mentioned around here on the Canadian news, so it's most likely centered around their area of the world in Edmonton.

I wish I'd seen this thread yesterday, in time to see/hear that interview. I'll read further to see if there's a link to it on tape.

Congrats to Tricia, Blink 34 and Seriously Searching!! Way to go!!

I've been a 'lurker' for many years (even before Laci, but never posted because I don't think I'm quite as smart as you guys, you are amazing people)!
I've been following this case closely also, because I live in Alberta (and it sure isn't cold here, HOT, swimming in the river to cool off!):crazy:

Tricia, you are doing a wonderful job, I'm proud that you have been noticed for the terrific work you and all the sleuthers here do! I feel like I know all you guys, because I read Websleuths EVERYDAY, my FAV website!!!:clap:

Hope this was ok, my 1st real post!

Kel

[SeriouslySearching]

Thanks, but I didn't do much besides an update. Tricia is the one who did the great job here!! We are very proud of her!! :)

Welcome to WS officially now, Kel! (Your first post was fabulous! We look forward to many more!)

[Blink34]

Thanks, but I didn't do much besides an update. Tricia is the one who did the great job here!! We are very proud of her!! :)

Welcome to WS officially now, Kel! (Your first post was fabulous! We look forward to many more!)

SS- you are too humble as usual, you did the bulk of the work AND the site was down with the other issue:blowkiss:
Thrilled for the opportunity to help and appreciate the kudos, but I know I speak for all of my fellow Sleuthers when I say more than anything we appreciate the opportunity to be "put together" in a think tank setting in an effort to make a difference in the cases we work.

Thank you for that Tricia- your caliber of integrity is beyond reproach!
Thanks to all of you that log on here because you care and it matters
