"I just don't understand why this continues to get blown out of proportion. I have NEVER stated that MS was responsible for the horrific death of his wife. I know as much as everyone else on WS's! Due to the fact that I have immediate family that live in very close proximity to the Sievers' home, they are able to see and hear things on a daily basis that "they" may feel is odd behavior. That is all that was offered and nothing else. We have ALL wore this issue out on how each of us feel about the behavior, so please let it rest. Again, I am trying to offer information to all of you to find either useful or toss aside. The activity has been confirmed by other neighbors on this site. Again, take it or leave it. If it is not stressed enough, let me say so again, I am completely sickened by the tragic death of Teresa Sievers. She was a neighbor of my family! She is seen walking her dogs down Jarvis and coming and going on a daily basis. She's seen with her beautiful daughters...they are ALL neighbors. Even though you may not be personal friends, you share a neighborhood and you do tend to have a connection through that. Nothing in the world would be worse for these children than to lose another parent. I do believe that most of us here feel that way as well. Unfortunately, there is an awful lot to speculate on due to circumstances. I wish each of you a wonderful Labor Day weekend and hope that you can really let things rest and stop with so much bickering. Hopefully we'll find another tidbit to sleuth on shortly. Thanks for your time in reading this."
mckazpm,
Sorry I didn't see your post when Thread #8 was still open. My post was an attempt (failed, perhaps) at levity, an attempt to offset the bickering that became so obvious earlier today. I have voted Thanks for many of your posts, and for the posts of other insiders, verified and not, who have contributed here. I appreciate all posts that add information, whatever the slant, if any, of the poster. I assume this is your first experience at WS, as it is mine.
Certainly the evidence to date isn't favorable to MS. Indeed, it's mostly the fact that the evidence seems so strong against him, and that his alleged conspirators were so incredibly inept in hiding their tracks, that I see some small chance he's innocent, being a contrarian by nature. So I understand the ridicule he's been getting here (I could have used other examples, but the two I used, including the roof, just came to mind first). My point wasn't that your report was unfair or inaccurate, just that once someone is believed to be a murderer, lots of things in their past may seem incriminating that would otherwise have been seen as just quirky or amusing. And by today's standards, when the authorities threaten to take kids from their parents because they were allowed to play unsupervised in the backyard, or at a neighborhood park a few lots away, all the parents of my parents' generation would have been jailed for negligence. My parents once let me, long before I was old enough to drive, walk in one day by myself 20 miles into the mountains and back--40 miles total--in the dead of winter with heavy snow cover on the ground. I still cherish the memory, and theirs for letting me do it. If more bad stuff emerges about MS, I hope the daughters will at least have some fond memories of him from quirky things like playing on the roof.
