The one case that is questionable in my four years of blogging and that one could suggest affects my perfect track record would be the JonBenet Ramsey case. It all depends on how you feel.

It’s hard to believe Stacy Peterson disappeared a year ago today. So much has gone on over the past year, but sadly nothing productive enough to bring the truth to the forefront in a way that would hold the responsible party accountable–despite the confidence in the American people who believe that Drew Peterson is responsible for the death of both of his wives.
Today to mark the one year anniversary of Stacy’s disappearance, Drew Peterson and his attorney flew to New York to meet with Matt Lauer again, and Drew gave a lot less arrogant interview this time around.
Living under the umbrella of suspicion has tamed Drew Peterson’s wild side. He is clearly preparing himself mentally for the potential of life behind bars as he says and as he should. There is no denying that Drew looks tired, and worn out. We are no longer seeing this cocky man sitting on the stage thinking he is fooling us all. Clearly, Drew’s life wasn’t the cake walk he had hoped for last November.
Read moreThere wasn’t much to glean from Drew’s interview today until the very end when Matt says what do you want to say to Stacy, if you believe she is still out there? It’s not what Drew said that is remarkable, but how he said it that is.
Watch as Drew speaks. His thoughts go into himself, and then he rambles to no one “Show yourself. Put an end to this nightmare.”
Notice how he doesn’t look at anyone? Notice he doesn’t try to plead to Stacy directly by looking at the camera?
When we believe someone is alive and we are pleading to them to come home, we look straight at the camera to give our message. We say it with fervor and meaning — especially if our neck is on the line. But clearly Drew doesn’t do this. It’s palpable. It’s notable, and Drew’s behavior continues to support he is not telling us the truth.
FIRST MEMORIES OF THE CASE
I’ll never forget reading about the case for the first time last year, and reading an article in the Sun-Times within hours of Stacy’s disappearance. Drew Peterson hadn’t made a public comment yet so all I had to go on was Drew Peterson’s words printed in the paper, and what I read clearly gave me pause.
Drew Peterson said “I believe she’s not missing.” Those five words stopped me dead in my tracks. No one talks like that. Last year I wrote…
“I don’t like the way Peterson said ‘I believe she’s not missing.’ When people are dishonest, they often add the qualifer and descriptive text to the end [of a sentence] as an after thought. Most people would normally say ‘I don’t believe she is missing.’ They don’t start out with ‘I believe she’s’ and then tack on ‘not missing.'”

Brad Cooper was indicted by a grand jury today on 1st degree murder.
That’s no surprise to me. Read what I wrote about Brad Cooper here exactly two weeks ago today.

When you first hear the story that a recently adopted boy dies in his new home after only four months time, you immediately go on alert. The timing of little Andrew Burd’s death raises a red flag. There is no doubt about it.
Read moreWorse, the little boy’s former foster mother, Sharon Hamil, testified that the boy was fine and never exhibited any excessive or odd eating behaviors in her care.
The hospital where Andrew Burd was taken also said they saw bruising on the little boy’s body which alerted them.
That’s three red flags that can’t be ignored. So then you would think it was appropriate that in 2007, Hannah Overton was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Well, sadly, I completely disagree.
When I watched this case on 48 Hours, and I listened to Hannah Overton speak on the stand, I can tell you that I trust her. I believe she is 100% innocent, and I suspect that little Andrew Burd did indeed suffer from pica.
There is just a genuineness about Overton that can’t be faked. There is a sincerity, and honesty that are undeniable. Overton is someone who I would call a postive person. Overton truly believed the truth would set her free, but sadly, it did not.
More than that, when you look at Overton’s demeanor, she does not have any of the typical traits of a mom who would abuse her children. She is not full of anger, hate, rage, or unsteady in her emotional state. She is quite the contrary: balanced, even-keeled and loved children more than most people.
What made this case even more fascinating to me were the other players in this trial. While I don’t want to name names, I will tell you there were several people who spoke against Overton whom I do not trust nor would I ever trust. They hit me as angry and mad, and completely unable to be objective. That’s unfortunately how an injustice like this can and does occur.
I hope that Hannah Overton’s appeal is granted. She is truly deserving to be set free.
