Eugene Arteta: Barbara Arteta’s Death

I wrote about Eugene Arteta after his wife, Barbara, went missing off an Amtrak train last September.  Her body was found dead beside the tracks half way to their destination after the train pulled into the station ending its journey. Eugene’s behavior in an interview after the incident flagged me. You can read my thoughts here.

On March 29, 2011, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution (AJC) wrote an update to the story. The first sentence of the article reads, “The mystery around the death of Barbara Arteta may never be solved.”

The AJC further wrote, “District Attorney Jackie Johnson wrote the GBI after reviewing the investigative file that there was not ‘sufficient evidence to support the elements of a crime or any identifiable suspects.’”

Barbara Arteta’s manner of death is listed as undetermined. You can read the article here.

It looks like we may never know what happened to Barbara, sadly.

I haven’t uncovered any great stories to be writing about so in the meantime, I thought this was fascinating. I hope you enjoy it and smile!

This is such a fascinating case. I am convinced that Amanda Knox knew things that happened that night which she is not forthcoming about, but what her involvement was, I don’t claim to know. I wonder if she will be set free…

48 Hours Sneak Peek: Ryan Ferguson Story Update

I am looking forward to watching this on Saturday night. I have long believed in Ryan Ferguson’s innocence.  You can read my original thoughts here written in 2006.  Chuck Erickson, the key witness against Ferguson, gave a deposition last year stating that he believes Ryan Ferguson is innocent now. It was on the Internet, but has since been taken down.
