Interiors of a bathroom

Police are currently investigating the death of Michele MacNeill who died in her bathtub in 2007 a week after she had plastic surgery. She was married to a doctor who supposedly found her unconscious in the tub.  Michele’s death was originally considered death by natural causes by the medical examiner, but investigators are taking another look.

Here is his 911 call. What do you see when you read it? You can hear the 911 call here. I can’t believe this is real…

The Head Shake and Kaine Horman

/in /by

Kaine Horman spoke out last week and a reader noticed his head shaking as he was speaking.  Does his head shake mean that he doesn’t agree with what he is saying?  Is it suspicious?

Check back this week for me to reveal the answer.

Oprah Winfrey to Talk to Barbara Walters Tomorrow

/in /by

Many people have asked me about Oprah and Gayle King:  Are they gay?

Absolutely not.  I have never doubted Oprah on this one time.  I totally believe her when she says she is not.  Why do people even question this?  That is what perplexes me. 

Thanks, ES, for the video link!

Tonya Craft Reunites with Ex-husband and Gets Joint Custody

/in /by

I am so happy that Tonya Craft has regained joint custody of her children.  She so deserves it.  She was accused of molesting three children in Georgia, and the courtroom where the case was tried earlier this year was sharply divided.  Many people believed that kids don’t lie, but they can absolutely be persuaded to believe things or believe things are true if they hear them enough–especially if they are said by influential adults.  While I didn’t see the children speak, I did see Tonya tell her side of the story.  When I saw Tonya talk about the accusations before trial, I believed in her innocence, and thankfully a court found Tonya Craft not guilty.

It was must be very gratifying for Tonya to have her ex-husband, who original thought she molested their daughter, sit beside her  and speak out in support of her now.  It should give all the doubters that Tonya was dishonest some serious second thoughts!!

Thanks, Karon, for the link.

Susan Powell: One Year Later

/in /by

Susan Powell disappeared a year ago from her Utah home that she shared with her two young sons and husband Josh Powell.  Josh Powell told people last year that he took his young boys camping in sub-freezing temperatures at 12:30 a.m. during a snow storm, and when he returned, his wife was missing.  He didn’t report to work on Monday and said he got his days confused.

His story raises many people’s eyebrows.  Worse, Josh did not search for his wife.  Instead he moved out of the family home, left the state and went to live with his family.

Josh’s behavior was and still is loaded with red flags.

Do I believe Josh’s father’s hypothesis that Susan ran off with another guy– who also disappeared about the same time?  I absolutely do not.  It’s absurd.  To me, it was a cleverly crafted story to deflect from the person of interest in this case — Josh Powell. I think most people will see this.

By looking at Susan in her photos, you can see her bubbly personality.  It supports what her mom says when she tells us Susan was a social person and that she made friends easily.  When we look at Josh, however, I suspect he was more introverted than Susan, and had a lot more trouble making friends. Of the two, I would bet money, he was the child who had a troubled childhood. I wish the media would look into this more and do some reporting on it.    It would be illuminating.

Look at the sadness expressed in Josh’s face in the still photo the Today Show shows of him in the video at the 6:00 minute marker.

I saw this interesting article in the Salt Lake Tribune:  Feds Want Susan’s Journals.  What is interesting is their quote from Steve Powell, Josh’s father.  I think it is very telling.  From the Salt Lake Tribune, “Steve Powell said: ‘They asked for a copy and we have worked diligently to quickly create a complete copy. We have let them know their copy is ready, and are waiting to hear back.’

Why would he have to work at getting a copy??  Does that make sense to anyone?  It sure makes you wonder about the authenticity of these journals, doesn’t it?

You can read my original thoughts of Josh Powell here.

Thanks, Karon, for the story!
