So many facets of the family's behavior is disturbing and not consistent with genuinely grieving parents. Haven't gotten to the end of this thread yet, so not sure if anyone mentioned the implausibilty of the whole scenario. If money was the motive (alleged in RN), then why would the...

I always suspected SBTC meant Saved By The Cross. I was stunned to see the photo taken by Judith Phillips of Patsy with the cross in her mouth, and by Judith's statement that Patsy believed she was cured by the cross. It absolutely clicked. Followed by the word "Victory," I believe it...

Great first post above! With regard to the ransom note, and the phrases which appear to be from several different films, such as, "Don't try to grow a brain, John," does anyone know if either JR or PR were film buffs? I agree with your analysis of the linguistics/phraseology, etc. in that it...

Definitely the ransom note, never seen before or since where the alleged victim was subsequently found deceased inside the home. The "q"'s & "and hence" are most incriminating.

On second thought, you are right. However, if it is indeed Burke on the 911 tape, he was not truthful.

Wow, excellent sleuthing work otg in cleaning up the audio, especially with Burke's voice at the beginning, and your transcriptions. I didnt know this version of the 911. tape existed. This is huge, as it shows the deception from the beginning, involving all 3 family members. On the newly...

"Doing so would allow Sievers to have his trial costs covered by the Justice Administrative Commission, a taxpayer-funded organization that provides administrative services on behalf of judicial related entities." So WE will pay for his defense? Disgusting.

In the GJ transcripts (#23), CWW mentions in reference to MS "the kids was his biggest issue. " It has been alleged that TS planned to leave MS. If so, perhaps she threatened MS that she would attempt to gain sole custody of the girls. Throughout the case it has been the theory that the #1...

Just read on Jacob's Twitter feed... Jacob Carpenter ‏@NDN_JCarpenter Some personal news: I'll be leaving @ndn at the end of next week to join the Milwaukee @journalsentinel for a year-long fellowship." We appreciate his diligent coverage of this case, especially the live feeds from...

Good one Matlacha...a little humor always helps.

beach, do you suspect there could be any shocking allegations? With all of the twists and turns to date, it would not surprise me.

FL is a judicial foreclosure state. No lis pendens has been filed by the lender yet. Cannot imagine how MS is making mortgage payments. It is probably just a matter of time before a foreclosure action is filed. Some years ago, there was a huge backlog of foreclosures in Lee County so it...

Quite a disgusting thought...

Well put AZ! Today's articles referenced multiple allegations which have not been made public. IIRC, one of them mentioned that one allegation is that MS is unable to care for the girls due to his incarceration. This seemed to imply there are other allegations. Anyone have any ideas as to...

Florida statutes provide that parental rights may be terminated under certain circumstances. One factor the court will consider in determining whether to continue the parental relationship with an incarcerated parent is if: (1) (d) 3 The court determines by clear and convincing evidence...
