Sandra Cantu and Her Mom Maria Chavez

/in /by

Police discovered the body of 8-year old missing Sandra Cantu in a suitcase yesterday, apparently thrown into an irrigation ditch, only two miles away from the trailer park where she lived. Police are on a manhunt this morning trying to find the killer(s).

Many of you have requested that I review Sandra Cantu’s mother, Maria Chavez, to see if there are any indications if she is faking her sadness. Several of you have written me privately that you are suspicious.

Read moreWhen I watch Chavez, I do not see any indications or areas of concern when I watch her speak here. I believe Chavez is truly grieving, upset and sincerely worried about her daughter.

When I watch Maria, I see heavy eyelids, and short smiles that instantly fade after a happy recollection. I see her mouth tense as she feels the tears coming on, which would be very difficult to fake. She has a true and genuine expression of sadness on her face. Also, the way that she recollects elements about her daughter seems very natural to me.

My heart goes out to Maria Chavez in these difficult days.

Christina Raines Moves Out Again

/in /by

Neighbors of Drew Peterson said they saw Christina Raines move out of Peterson’s home on Friday for the second time.

From the Bolingbrook Sun:

Before leaving, Raines shouted to Peterson, “I’ll be back for the rest of my stuff some time,” said Peterson’s neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, who watched the move.

When the two women departed, “Her sister whipped around the court (in her car),” Bychowski said. “‘Agitated’ is the word.”

According to CBS2Chicago.com, Raines’ engagement ring is being held by the Illinois state police. This is interesting. Did Peterson give Christina Stacy’s old ring? Why else would they have it? It sure makes you wonder what went on behind closed doors, doesn’t it?

Thanks, Rita, for the story update!

P.S. Don’t forget to vote for the next story you want me to write about here.

Lyle and Leslie Herring

/in /by

Lyle Herring and his wife, Leslie, had an argument on February 8, 2009, and since that day, Leslie has not been seen. It wasn’t Lyle, however, who reported his wife missing, it was Leslie’s sister, Aasha Davis, who reported her sister missing two days after the alleged argument when she didn’t show up for work for several days. Davis is an actress for “Friday Night Lights” and “South of Nowhere”.

Lyle’s story is that after the couple argued, he took a nap, and hasn’t seen his wife since. Nothing about Lyle’s story at this point is adding up. He has been less than cooperative with police, but he has not been named a suspect.

One a positive note, my cousin got good news about her cancer. While it is invasive, she had clear margins and it didn’t spread to her lymph nodes! This is the best news, considering the circumstances! Thanks for all your thoughts and wishes!!
