There are so many forums out there where people discuss cases.

They pick on you because WS is the best. Consider it a compliment...LOL

911 call can be heard here, clearer then when it was played in court

The 911 call:

http://www.ncwanted.com/unsolved/audio/2034527/

If you are bored go and read some statement analysis stuff by Lt. Tracy Harpster. He has written a lot on "Is the caller the killer?"
Using his COPS scale I say this guy sounds guilty to me!

He is frantic when answering questions about the wife but can recite his phone number, his wife's age, and their address and other information without problem.

He starts off the call saying his wife is dead. (acceptance of victim's death)
Does not request help for the victim.. later he says "there's like stuff everywhere".
Tells the dispatcher how he came home and found his wife.
Dispatcher asks about doing CPR. Raven says "she's not with me". (Lack of CPR cooperation)

He also stopped his heavy breathing and was very clear when he recited his address - twice. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Thanks, KMouse for the link -- I'm not familiar with it, but it sound interesting. I'm gonna check it!

Abaroa is charged in the April 2005 stabbing death of his pregnant wife Janet. He allegedly told police he found his wife in their home on Ferrand Drive in Durham after returning from a soccer game. The couple's 6-month-old son was in the home at the time of the killing, but was not harmed.

Looks like the tat is some kind of Asian letter or something.

Listening to the opening statement by the defense. Gaw.... I think he either made a mistake or got it completely wrong. Raven and Janet didn't get back together until late summer 2004 not too long before Kaiden was born, IIRC. Then he was arrested right after the first of the year.

:websleuther:My thoughts exactly, Kmouse and fellow peeps . We are doing nothing wrong -- I've read similar opinions in the newspaper in Letters to the Editor, and some of them signoff as "Name Withheld." If something or someone really went haywire, each of us could be "located" in WS recs by admins -- it's not at all untraceable -- like anonymously writing graffiti on a wall (being serious here).

We have all, or nearly all, gotten carried away & gotten a slap on the wrist, or worse, and we are all subject to lifetime banishment. And IMO, we're really pretty responsible -- and what we see, although we see it voluntarily, is sometimes nearly non-human. But still we dig and fight for the victim. It's an American "thing" largely, but it even expands beyond even those borders, and we're all happy that it does! :websleuther:

And again, the argument is coming from the defense with a client who is not in a very good position, IMO. For some reason he must have wanted it in the record....Will we hear more about it? We'll just have to wait and see.

Excuse the rant -- it got me "bowed-up," as we say here in NC. :rant:

Law and Order once did an episode where the "Web Sleuthers" got involved in a case. I used to have a clip of them talking about "Web Sleuths" talking about people like us. It did not shine a good light on the likes of us. Oh well.
