    Possible Break in Stacy's case - Cops planning on a search tomorrow 6/5/10

    I don't remember the "Find me in 2 days" quote, but this has gone on sooo long.

    Discussion of the New Lead in the Search for Stacy Peterson

    I just reread your post, Leila. Maybe if she had been unconscious, or there were fluids involved (blood, urine voided at death), the barrel might seem warm, as the fluid would transfer the body heat onto the barrel faster. Blech! I can't believe I just said that.

    Discussion of the New Lead in the Search for Stacy Peterson

    Most chemical reactions generate heat, but many need applied heat to set them off. I'm not sure I'd call something at the level of body heat "warm," but I can't remember whether the day in question was warm or not. Since many chemicals (including the infamous sodium hydroxide) are shipped in...

    Discussion of the New Lead in the Search for Stacy Peterson

    It's not hard at all, which is very scary considering how difficult it is to handle safely. People are terrified of acids (rightfully so, for most), but sodium hydroxide is the gift that keeps on giving. It can burn you to the bone. A nice handy box of baking soda can help neutralize an acid...

    Deaths of Male College Students-General Discussion #6

    RR0004, the Cornell suicides have been going on for many, many years (from two Cornell grads I have known). I agree that including these deaths in the series is probably not a productive path. OTOH, I have come to believe that the Wisconsin, and possibly the Minnesota cases, are probably all...

    Discussion of the New Lead in the Search for Stacy Peterson

    Muriatic acid is very dilute compared to lab grade hydrochloric acid. Wouldn't do much to a body, but would dissolve a metal barrel. Sodium hydroxide, in contrast, would work better, and the barrel would be warm. It would corrode a metal barrel. Sodium hypochlorite would dissolve a body, and a...

    Possible Break in Stacy's case - Cops planning on a search tomorrow 6/5/10

    FWIW, well water in the area is hard, but doesn't leave rust stains (don't know how that relates to the soil). The Peoria area is starting to get very close to the coal beds. You can occasionally see seams of coal in road cuts. I could do a little poking around online to see if I see any soil...

    Possible Break in Stacy's case - Cops planning on a search tomorrow 6/5/10

    The Chilicothe club was the one I was sure was the site when they said in Peoria County, but east of Peoria, before the correction. There's a strip of land between highway 29 and the Illinois River that has been used as a sportsmen's/gun club. The Chilicothe location is not near the "real"...

    The latter would work, of course. Just because hearsay is inadmissible in court doesn't mean it's not an useful tip. What can I say. No coffee yet. :crazy:

    Dr. F--re. the muck. That too. And re. the GPS. That would also work. Maps aren't accurate to that level, and maybe he'd scouted out the area in advance of "need." Save the coordinates, give the GPS to a henchman while he had an alibi, and voila! (In a sick sort of way)

    Dr. Fessel, you posted while I was, and reminded me the other question I had. The police said "coordinates." To me that does imply GPS involvement. Did DP own a GPS unit, and could he have transferred it to another vehicle? (your post sparked the latter part.)

    Possible Break in Stacy's case - Cops planning on a search tomorrow 6/5/10

    I have family & friends around Peoria, and have gone hiking around the area many years ago. Yes, the water table is very high, and the creek used to be quite polluted with farm runoff, etc. Don't know if it's still that way, though. I'd be rather concerned, if it's still bad, to work there...

    Leila--you're more of a legal eagle than I. Appreciate the patient explanation!

    The way the testimony was presented online, it sounded to support DP's line that Stacy ran off. Sorry if I ruffled any petals.

    I'm a little behind on following all the wonderful media links, but from what I have read, BZ's statements make it sound like SP disappeared voluntarily. Was he a prosecution or a defense witness? Does anyone else feel like this could be turned to the prosecution's favor in Katherine's case but...

    The Hearsay Law

    I'm glad to see that TM seems to be so strong on the stand. I wish I had more time to follow this the way I'd like.

    The Hearsay Law

    Given Will County's demographics, I agree--the pastor's testimony might make or break the case.

    Well, that certainly delivers intent, doesn't it?:waitasec:

    Kathleen Savio's Family Suing Drew Peterson for Wrongful Death

    Right or wrong, I believe that an umbrella policy might pay court costs, including lawyers' fees. I am not an insurance broker (or wealthy), but I believe the intent of an umbrella policy is to protect in case someone is injured on/by your property, and the damage is above what your homeowners...

    Abandoned construction site?

    I know I've said those words during fights with former boyfriends. So far, it hasn't come back to bite me.
