Sarah Palin’s Breathing

A reader sent me this video of Sarah Palin’s breathing, which was cut from her speech after the Arizona shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Gifford and her attendees.  In the video, Sarah defends herself after people cast blame on her for “irresponsible statements”. 

I do not want this to become a discussion of politics, but I do think Sarah Palin communicated a strong message non-verbally in her speech and it is reflected in this cut version.

What non-verbal emotional messages is Palin sending in this video?

Home Invasion and 911 Call

This is a fascinating case of honesty.  Listen to the woman in the closet talk to 911 when she thinks the guy is in the house.  Notice how she whispers?

Denise Vernier Found Dead

On January 3, 2011, the body of Denise Vernier was found in a wooded area by some local kids in the city where she disappeared.  Police identified her body through dental records and say they do not believe there was foul play and expect the case to be closed soon.

I wrote about Mike Vernier back in December and found his demeanor quite interesting and I believed he knew more than he was telling us. I still do.  Whether he is simply withholding they had an argument or if there was more to it, I can’t be certain, but he is holding something back.

I’ve looked for how they believe Denise Vernier died and I can’t find anything, ironically. The Toronto Sun wrote, “Foul play is not suspected in the death, police say, though cause of death has not yet been determined.”

How can you say there is no foul play if you don’t know the cause of death?  It was September when she disappeared so extreme exposure wouldn’t happen immediately.  According to Denise’s brother, Denise and Mike were separated, yet her husband was the last one to see her.  When Mike was asked when he last saw her, he said it was the “previous day” at first, before she disappeared, yet he then goes on to tell us later about how he talked to her the day of her disappearance.  It’s a notable inconsistency and his details are clearly lacking.

Here is my post on Mike Vernier.  I’m perplexed to say the least.  I will be waiting to see if they release the cause of death. If she died of natural causes, or exposure, why wouldn’t they release that?

Unfortunately, the video I originally displayed of Mike Vernier has been removed from the Internet.
