Drew Peterson and Joel Brodsky are talking to Matt Lauer again. I love when Lauer does interviews. He asks great questions, but as we know from experience, that doesn’t mean that Peterson always answers them.
Watch the latest interview that aired this morning.
If you are interested in an in depth review of this interview, let me know. If I get enough interest, I will consider writing up a review.
I do have one request though. Would anyone be interested in writing up the text from the interview? It would save me a considerable amount of time. Just post a comment below if you are interested and when you can do it by. Thanks!

Penny Boudreau pleads for her 12-year-old daughter’s safe return in this video clip. Just sadly, her plea didn’t help. Karissa Boudreau was found dead within days of this plea along a nearby riverbank, and her death was determined to be a homicide. Police aren’t releasing any details at this time pending the investigation.
When I first watched the video, Penny’s behavior didn’t sit well with me. Penny also said something that was a big red flag for me. She said, “Nothing can be done to make things better, but it’s comforting to have support.”
Read more Clearly, this is a very odd statement. Why can’t things be done to make things better? Why wouldn’t finding her daughter make things better?
Parents of missing children hang on to every shred of hope, because facing the loss of a child is too painful to face until they absolutely are forced to do so. Penny’s statement is in complete contradiction to this. She basically says without saying it, she has no hope, which doesn’t make sense…unless, of course, she knows more than she is telling us.
Most parents, while heartbroken and devastated at this point, would force themselves to forge forward with courage, because there is no other alternative. They wouldn’t dream of giving up. But it appears Penny has here. It’s very unusual behavior.
Penny also shows she is distancing herself away from Karissa, which is a concern. I suspect these clues come from deep within her subconscious. I’ll bet she wasn’t even aware she said these things. She says in her plea to Karissa, “Your Aunt April is here. Your mom is here“. She doesn’t say “It’s me, mom.” She doesn’t refer to herself as I. She doesn’t say “I” miss you, “I” love you. Instead, she she says “we”. These word choices are unusual.
Penny also acts like Karissa won’t be able to see the TV, but will only be able to hear it, which is another oddity. If you don’t know where your daughter is, how can you make this assumption?
Why would you make such assumption?
And later, she says another statement that shows distance when she says, “It is hard not to know where your kids is.” To refer to her daughter as “your kid” is strange and removed. Most people would say “It is so hard not knowing where my daughter is.”
Furthermore, I find it odd how Penny talks to Karissa as if she merely ran away. She says “Please just reach out to someone, at least call us and just let us know you’re okay.” Penny seems to be acting like Karissa is an adult here who left on her own free will. What if Karissa can’t reach out because she has be abducted? Most parents would fear that their child could have been abducted in a circumstance like this, but Penny doesn’t seem to even think about that, which I find unusual. It’s another red flag.
I am not one to use lack of eye contact as a clue to deception, but here it is so outstanding, and usual, it is a red flag. Penny pleads to her daughter to make contact, yet she doesn’t look at the camera. She looks down or away. Then later, after she finishes talking to Karissa, she looks back up normally as she talks. It is this distinction in her behavior that is a big red flag. It’s the change of behavior that is notable. When you compare the behaviors side-by-side, it’s astounding. She makes no eye contact, then suddenly she starts to again. She also stops crying after talking to Karissa. The timing is a bit odd.
Yes, Penny is reading something previously written when she talks to Karissa, but she should still want to “connect” with her daughter in some visual form, but she doesn’t even attempt it. I would think she would want to speak from her heart to tell her daughter she is sorry and no matter what the differences of opinion are, it can all be worked out. But Penny doesn’t get personal in any way, which alarms me.
When people talk to others on camera, who are not present in the studio, especially when they are missing and they are pleading for their safe return, they usually make direct eye contact with the camera. But Penny isn’t here. Why?
Penny also doesn’t seem to shed a tear, which I find odd. She does seem distraught to me, and in distress, but how come there are no tears? I have seen people cry themselves dry. Was Penny crying all day before this? Her eyes don’t hit me as extra puffy, but only people who know her could judge that. I’d be curious to know.
I do see fear in Penny’s eyes. Is that fear that her daughter may never return, or is there another reason for the fear? Penny’s hand on her face is an indication she is trying to calm herself down, to self-soothe herself.
I find Penny’s behavior odd here, to say the least. I suspect she knows more than she is telling us…as painful as that is to write. I hope I am wrong.

Karissa Boudreau was a 12-year-old girl from Nova Scotia who disappeared after her mother says they got into an argument in the parking lot of a grocery store at 5:30 pm on January 27.
Penny Boudreua, Karissa’s mother, says she went into the grocery store for 15 minutes, and when she came back, Karissa, who had never run away before, was gone. Three hours later, Penny reported her daughter missing after conducting her own search.
Two weeks later, Karissa’s body was found on the bank of a nearby river, and now a homicide investigation is under way.
Karissa’s mother, Penny, made two emotional pleas for her daughter. Here is one of them.
What are your thoughts?

Last Saturday night, 48 Hours profiled the case of Nona Dirksmeyer, a 19-year-old pageant queen who was found dead by her boyfriend Kevin Jones. She was murdered.
Jones was with his mother when he discovered her lifeless body, and his mother called 911. Jones wanted to assist the police with the case, but ultimately he ended up getting charged with her murder and faced a trial by jury.
Read moreSeveral of you have asked me, do I believe Kevin Jones in innocent? The jury let Jones go free, but Dirksmeyer’s family believes he is getting away with murder even still.
The police found Jones’ behavior odd on multiple occasions. When they came to the crime scene after the 911 call, Jones went to shake the police detectives hands, but Jones then realized he was covered in blood from trying to revive Dirksmeyer, and so he pulled back his hands. The police found this odd behavior.
I do not. If Jones was a polite man, his manners are a part of his normal behaviors, and they wouldn’t dissipate in a difficult time. This does not raise my eyebrows.
The police also found Jones behavior in the interrogation room suggestive that he could be a violent person. When detectives left the room where Jones was at, he hit the back of the chair he was sitting in hard multiple times. He was angry and visibly upset. Why would he do that? Does it mean he is violent?
If Jones loved Dirksmeyer, and he wasn’t able to protect her, and someone killed her, he may have felt like a failure. He may have felt like he let Nona down even though he wasn’t there when this happened. This is likely an emotional response due to the feelings of being helpless after the fact. That’s what I suspect was going on here. Or he was frustrated that he wasn’t being believed when he was telling the truth. Could his actions be suggestive of violence? They absolutely could, but it is nothing definitive own its own. If there are not any character witnesses to corroborated that Jones had violent behavior, I would discount this, personally.
Jones volunteered to help the police by submitting to DNA tests and by taking a polygraph, but surprisingly he failed the polygraph which only caused police to look at him even closer. Polygraphs, in my eyes, are not reliable so I wouldn’t much too much into this.
At the crime scene, the police believe they found the smoking gun when they found Jones palm print on the light-bulb of the lamp police believe was used to deliver a fatal blow to Dirksmeyer.
I suspect that Jones could have easily grabbed that light-bulb when he found Dirksmeyer and tried to revive her. Perhaps it was in the way? I do not see this as any smoking gun.
Another interesting fact in this case is that at the scene police found a used condom wrapper, and with that, they theorized that Jones found it and went into a rage, and killed Dirksmeyer because Dirksmeyer had been seeing other men behind his back.
Those other men were ruled out by police.
When I watch Jones, I do not see a man who is violent, and while all people have the potential to be violent, he doesn’t hit me as a man who would kill his girlfriend over her finding a condom wrapper. He is more likely the type to buy into a story that Dirksmeyer would make up to cover herself. Jones was a trusting, honest guy as seen by his willingness to assist the police so freely. I also think it would take more than infidelity with his girlfriend to get Jones murderous. He is not a man who has a temper. Those who knew Jones testified to that fact.
Furthermore, the police only checked the condom wrapper for finger prints, but not DNA. They said the lab would only do one or the other but not both because each test could potentially render the other useless. I find that unusual, but I am not a forensic expert. In either case, no finger prints were found.
And the jury? It took less than 2 days to find Jones not guilty, and I agree with the jury. When I watch Jones’ behavior, I do not see one red flag. I see nothing that alerts me to deception. I see honesty through and through. I believe Jones without any doubts. He is a good person caught in a horrible situation as is his mother.
And it looks like this case isn’t over yet. Remember that condom wrapper? Well, Jones defense attorneys had it tested for DNA and they found some. It belongs to a male other than Jones. Of course, people who thinks Jones is guilty will say this makes sense.
I think this DNA may provide important clues to help solve who really killed Dirksmeyer because it wasn’t Jones, if you want my personal opinion.

News reports are saying the McCanns may be cleared from their status of suspects.
Yes, you read that right.
Furthermore, the Portuguese police are saying that they don’t have a shred of evidence against the McCanns.
What do you think about the news?
I’d say it was about time! Let’s hope they actually do it, and not just feed the rumor mill. Until I see it, I won’t believe it.
