Justin DiPietro: Father of Missing Ayla

/in /by

Many of you have requested that I review this video and share my thoughts.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to follow this case.  From what I understand to date, Ayla went missing from her father’s home on December 17, 2011 when he was at home with two other adults in the house.

Ayla apparently suffered a broken arm prior to her disappearance, and DiPietro told Ayla’s mother a different story than he is now telling police about how she broke her arm.  And the last development is that police have found blood in DiPeitro’s basement believed to be that of Ayla.

When I watch DiPietro in this interview, I see very little emotion on his face, though I do see flickers of anger and frustration, and indicators of stress.

What strikes me most in this interview is how DiPietro talks about how the night Ayla was supposedly abducted from the house.  He says, “It was (shoulder shrug) just a normal night…there was nothing…I just put her to bed and…just…just a normal night.”

Why doesn’t DiPietro have any details in his memory?  He doesn’t give us anything at all, which is notable to me.  Why isn’t he reliving the last night he had with his daughter?  It begs the question was he even watching her that night?   He also isn’t showing stress and urgency in his plea for his daughter.  He is completely calm, which I find notable.

He licks his lips, which is an indicator of stress and/or nerves.

It’s interesting how DiPietro self-censors himself when he says, “I can tell you what I’m not…I can tell you I love my daughter. I would never do anything to harm my daughter…”  It was like he was going on direction with his sentence, and then he changed directions.  Why did he have a need to self-sensor himself?  I was expecting him to say, I can tell you what I’m not…I’m not a killer…but he stops just short. Was that what he was going to say?  You have to wonder, and why couldn’t he say that, if he is innocent?

Another time, DiPietro also says, “It feels like a helpless situation at some points, but…”  If he truly believes his daughter was abducted, why does he feel helpless?  Why isn’t he organizing searches, banging on doors and looking for himself.  Has DiPietro being doing searches?

While things aren’t looking positive for DiPietro, I need to see more before I can draw any conclusions.  He is clearly on my radar and I think he needs to be looked at further, without question.

Expression of the Day

While this isn’t a universal expression, I do think it is understood by all.  It’s the classic, “I’m not feeling well” look.  That’s how I feel today.  I went to the walk-in clinic this morning after feeling under the weather this weekend, and the doc says its a viral bug of sorts. Just has to run its course!  I hope to be back soon!!

Mimi Alford: JFK’s Mistress Speaks

/in /by

Did you watch Rock Center last night with Brian Williams? Meredith Vieira interviews one of JFK’s former mistresses.

I found the interview very distasteful and rather disturbing–to be frank.  When I listened to what Mimi was saying–she was very inconsistent.  She also conjectured a lot instead of talking from memory.  While it is absolutely possible she had an affair as she claims (its not a high stake scenario), the details she tells us do not reconcile with a rational mind, which makes me question her story.

She wants us to believe that was 19-years old, in college, and yet so naive she didn’t know anything.  She was this poor innocent teenager.  She wasn’t 14 folks–she was in college! 

She tell us she doesn’t ever remember JFK kissing her or she kissing him.  She says this wasn’t a “romantic relationship”, yet she wants to paint it as such by talking about how “playful” they were together.  She doesn’t give many details at all.  One plus one doesn’t add up to two here.  It just doesn’t…especially after more than 50 years.

Mimi tells us how excited she was by this relationship and how she really like JFK, and yet she tells us how he supposedly treated her like a whore–asking for sexual favors for different men his life –which in one instance she admits to supposedly doing.  This is where I doubt her story more than ever because if she had done this, she “should” have experienced shame, disgust, or repulsion (some negative reaction) at herself and at JKF, but she doesn’t seemed to have experienced any of that…even after 50 years of thinking of it.  This is a huge red flag for me.  She is missing the normal emotions that go along with what she supposedly experienced.

Any rational woman would be outraged today about her experience, her ignorance and the sickness of a man who wanted her to do this, but not Mimi.  It makes me doubt her story, greatly.

Mimi hits me as a woman by the words she has spoken to rewrite things when it is convenient for her. She hits me when things don’t feel right–she is one of those people who just changes the elements so she doesn’t have to deal with the downside. Or, she embellishes things when she thinks she’ll benefit.  She rewrites history, if you will. There are many people like Mimi in our society–they live in a fantasy world — devoid of reality.   She paints her reality to be what she wants–not what it is.

The fact that she has written this book and gone public when she has two grown daughters and grandchildren says volumes about her, because after admitting to her sleazy adulterous affair, and sick sexual favors, she tells us she’d do it all over again.  I was floored! 

“I don’t actually regret that I had the affair with President Kennedy,” she said. “It was too much fun.”

Mimi wants fame and notoriety and money for having an affair with the President.  She wants sell it with lurid details, but she doesn’t take any ownership for what she did, and her actions, and she doesn’t feel normal emotions that most people would feel after what she supposedly experienced. She doesn’t think of the ramifications of this on her daughters and grandchildren!

Something is very off.

If only there were people who could corroborate her story…I think we’d hear a different version…personally.

Did Court Order Cause Josh Powell to Snap?

/in /by

                            

Hearing what was involved in the psycho-sexual evaluation that was ordered for Powell, I do think this could have been the element that caused him to snap.  Hearing the photo that investigators found on his computer in 2009, and knowing there was likely more, I suspect Josh knew he was going to lose, and that was the final straw.

In Josh’s last messages, we heard a man who was highly emotionally to the very end, and his actions to his children suggest a strong rage was brewing inside him.

Josh is one of those people that builds-up inside and then finally reaches his breaking point. I suspect the same thing happened with Susan, sadly.

Thanks, Karon, for the link/story update.

Josh Powell Kills Himself and 2 Boys

Josh Powell’s wife, Susan, went missing in December of 2009.  He told the media that he went camping in the middle of the night in sub-freezing temperatuers with the couple’s two toddler children at midnight, and when he came back, he found his wife was gone.  She had vanished.

Nothing about Josh’s story made sense, and as time went on, we could see Josh’s behavior was odd and questionable.  Furthermore, we learned that Josh came from a troubled family.   His father was flat out bizarre.

Over a year after Susan’s disappearance, Josh’s father, Steven Powell, came out speaking of a bizarre obsession with his missing daughter-in-law that was flat out delusional. And not longer after that, he was investigated by police and was was arrested on charges of voyeurism and possessing images of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.  I believe he is currently awaiting trial.

Then earlier this week, Josh was denied custody of his two boys, though the court agreed to revisit his parental status in July.

But what happened today is horrifying.  When I saw a link to the story and I clicked on it, I couldn’t believe it was true.  A tragic nightmare has turned even more nightmarish, if that is possible.  Now, not only is a woman missing and presumed dead, but now her husband, Josh Powell, took his life and the life of their two beautiful children.

Josh Powell was clearly unable to cope with the hell he had made of his life.

His two boys were dropped off by a case worker who was there to supervise the visits this afternoon.  The case worker described Josh opening the door, forcefully grabbing the boys and closing the door — not allowing the case worker into the house.

In the news reports I have read so far, it appears the case worker smelled gas and was very concerned.  The case worker immediately called her supervisor and within minutes the house was blazing.  The fire was started around 12:15 and was still burning strong by 4 p.m.  

It is reported that Josh sent an email to his attorney saying, “I’m sorry, goodbye.”

Josh Powell committed murder today.  He murdered his two children, and I don’t think there are any believers today that Josh hasn’t done this before.  I think few will doubt that Josh Powell killed his wife Susan, too.

It’s sad that such sick people can live and exist among us and are capable of such great harm to such beautiful and innocent children.

I feel horrible for the Cox family.  My heart goes out to them and anyone who was blessed to have known those two beautiful boys.  They did not deserve the hell that their lives became at the hands of a very controlling, manipulative, and sick father, and grandfather.
