BERNARDO AND HOMOLKA

The police sketch of the Scarborough Rapist was
released in the summer of 1990, and she was a
"survivor" of one of his increasingly more vicious
attacks, committed at a time when only eight
rapes had been confirmed
the word "only" used here simply because so much
more was about to unfold before Paul Bernardo was
unmasked.
The word "survivor," however, was of her choosing.
She was refusing to be a "victim."
At this point time, back in the summer of '90, it had
been approximately six weeks since the last attack by
the Scarborough Rapist, and many more weeks since
he had dragged one particular woman into a
nightmare. And this is the letter she wrote back then.

To the sickest person in the world:
For one half hour, I visited hell, and you took
me there.
Or at least I thought it would only be that
half hour.
I thought I knew the person I was, but you
changed all that.
I was no longer the independent person I
used to be, the secure happy girl that could
make people smile.
The girl that used to hug everyone that was
dear to her could no longer let anyone close.
Feeling dirty and tainted, I pushed away anyone
who would try.
I lost my self- respect, my pride, my dignity,
and you may have also cost me one of the
most important people in my life -- my boyfriend.
The other things I have been able to grab
hold of, and pull them back inside, and start to
become the person I once was.
But, so help me. If you have caused me to push
that one person away, you'll wish you hadn't.
I am relearning who I am. I'm a loving, caring
person who knows that none of this is my fault.
I am getting back to the person I once was,
the person that I liked being.
Of course, there are certain changes because
of you and what you've done.
I've never before had to deal with as much hate
as I now hold for you.
Having this much hate inside me scares me.
To you, I was just another piece of shit that you
could take out whatever you wanted to on.
To me, you were, and you are, my living nightmare.
You took a half hour and a couple of
months of my life.
But the rest of my life is MINE! Not yours!
Everyone tells me that you're sick and
need help.
Yes, I agree that you are sick, as you can tell
by how this letter is addressed, but that is not
an excuse for what you have done.
And I feel absolutely no pity for you.
Yes, you need help. You need help into a jail
cell as quick as possible.
You need help in understanding what you've
done.
You need to know what it feels like to have all
your control taken away, to know what it
feels like to be frightened like you've never
been before.
But, most of all, you need to know what
being raped feels like and the physical and
emotional pain that comes with it.
You need to be held at knifepoint, beaten,
stripped, and raped -- not knowing if you'll live
or if you'll die.
I wish for you everything you've done to me,
to me and all the other girls.
They say you are unpredictable with who, when,
where, and why you strike.
But I would like to predict a few things myself.
I predict that you will be caught now that the
public is involved. I predict that you're going
to jail for the rest of your life.
You better hope that justice is served.
Because if it is not, I predict that you'll be very,
very sorry it wasn't.
You've made a lot of parents, brothers, sisters,
boyfriends and friends angry.
You better hope that you do go to jail for life
because that will be the safest place for you.
This letter was written by one of your
survivors, not one of your victims.
Signed: One Survivor
---
Where this woman is today is as unknown as
how she has coped, or has not coped, over the
years with the trauma that was inflicted upon
her by Paul Bernardo.
If she has indeed "survived," she will be in
her 30s now, and that is all that is certain.
The rest is conjecture.

HEAR THAT KARLA?

SNEAKY ARUBA

I ASK ONCE AGAIN- WHERE IS NATALEE ARUBA?

CHORUS
Sneaky Aruba, what's that mess you have created?
Could it be a faded case from days gone by?
And did I hear you say you were a searching here today.
To find the truth and rectify the grief?

She's just 18 and her mum and dad r looking
All the folks 'round ‘ruba say she's likely crazy
'cause she searches for her daughter
Lookin' for a loved and precious child

Natalee's short lifetime achieved many goals
a long for trip before going to university
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
He Promised her he'd take her for a ride

The long ride now has gone on and on
They’ve search high and low for natalee
The three who took her riding all deny it
but those who know her know they’re lying

chorus

SPRING!

Will I wake up tomorrow to spring?
I seriously doubt that

but it does not hurt to hope

does it?

HERE IS A REMINDER OF WHAT SPRING LOOKS LIKE

OH WHERE OH WHERE HAS MY DARN ...

OH WHERE OH WHERE HAS MY

BLOODY SHOES GONE?

OH WHERE OH WHERE HAVE

THEY GONE?

WITH THE LACES ALL TORN

AND THE WHITE ALL

DISCOLORED.

OH WHERE

OH WHERE HAVE THEY GONE?

I DON'T KNOW JORAN

MAYBE YOU CAN TELL US?

The ABC interview gets more interseting.

Scared monkeys is posting that Posner is furious that

security tapes from The Excelsior that he

volunteered to the ALE for the

Natalee Holloway investigation wound

up in the hands of ABC.

Posner, according to his attorney is looking

into legal action to whoever turned it over to ABC.

Nothing like evidence from private

surveillance videos given to the ALE

showing up in the media.

How does evidence make it into the

hands of the media?

Maybe the ALE would like to share the

statements as well from the three suspects

with the MSM for all of us to see as well?

DONT ASK ME?

HILARIOUS ISN'T IT?

CANADA ONE FINISHES 4TH

Pierre Lueders
of Edmonton
finishes
fourth in
four-man bobsled

Sat, Feb 25, 2006:51 PM

CESANA PARIOL,
Italy (CP) -
Pierre Lueders needed
some help to hit the
podium in the four-man bobsled event at the Olympics on
Saturday and he didn't get it.
The pilot from Edmonton ended up fourth, 0.09
seconds behind Switzerland's Martin Annen for the
bronze medal.
Andre Lange of Germany won gold in three
minutes 40.42 seconds, followed by
Alexandre Zoubkov of Russia at 3:40.55.
Switzerland clocked 3:40.83
while Canada finished at 3:40.92.
Lueders and his crew of Ken Kotyk of Kenora, Ont.,
Morgan Alexander of Regina and
Lascelles Brown of Calgary went into the final run
by the same 0.09-second margin out of third place.
Their time of 54.95 in the third run was their best.
But they couldn't close ground with their fourth
run, clocking a 55.20, and their rivals didn't
make a mistake to secure their medals.
Lange set a track record of 54.80 seconds on this
third run.
Canada 2 pilot Serge Despres of Cocagne, N.B., and
his crew of Nathan Cunningham of Calgary,
Steve Larsen of Langley, B.C., and David Bissett
of Edmonton finished 20th.
The precision and speed of four-man bobsled
makes closing ground difficult.
Making up a few hundredths of a second is like
running 100 metres carrying a couch on your back.
The four-man is both poetic and chaotic.
The start is a recipe for disaster.
Think of four, burly football players trying to leap
into a convertible Volkswagen while it rolls along
at 50 km/h.
After that, the sled's fate rest in the pilot's hands.
He has to look for the right line, find the courage to
go high in the corners to gain speed.
The best make it look easy.
The rest can sometimes end up upside down on
the track.
Lange, 32, won the gold medal ahead of Lueders
in the two-man final last Sunday.
He was the four-man gold medallist at the 2002
Olympics and also won the last three world
championships.

HEY YOU DID THE BEST YOU

GOLD and BRONZE for Canada in 5000-meter

Clara Hughes
Canada's Hughes wins 5,000m gold; Klassen gets fifth medal
Torino, Italy (Sports Network) -
Clara Hughes of Canada captured the gold medal in
women's 5,000-meter speedskating Saturday at the
Winter Olympics.
Teammate Cindy Klassen finished third to record her
fifth medal in Torino.
The victory by Hughes denied three-time defending
Olympic champion Claudia Pechstein a record-tying
fourth gold medal in the event.
Pechstein, however, did pick up the silver.
Hughes and Pechstein made up the final pair of the day.
Hughes covered the distance in six minutes, 59.07
seconds.
Pechstein was 1.01 seconds behind and Klassen
was .49 seconds further back.
The only American in the field, Catherine Raney,
finished in seventh place, more than five seconds off
the winning time.
Klassen has become the darling of this year's
Olympic speedskating events.
She won the gold in the 1,500 meters, silvers in
the 1,000 and team pursuit and an earlier bronze in
the 3,000.

Afganistan?

All kidding aside I feel the Canadian soldiers will
be able to help Afganistan rebuild it's infrastructure
by giving it's citizens much needed protection.
IT HAS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME OF WAR
FOR AFGANISTAN!!
They need stability and trust replaced among
themselves and their protecting forces.
Many people thought the invasion was wrong but
regardless ... it is now time for peace to be restored
to this once prosperous country.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER AFGANISTAN
BEFORE THE WARS?
I certainly don't. I an going by the information given to
me by my Grandmother who was 7 when the Titanic
went down.
No I am not that old. In fact my Grandmother married
at 37 and had her first child at 39.
She was a wonderful source of world history and when
she died 2 weeks after the Berlin wall came down.
She said
" What I dreamed of has been accomplished...
I can die peacefully now"

OUR BOYS IN RED?

Military may recruit immigrants
Move could fast track `route to citizenship'General
seeks ways to woo potential soldiers
Feb. 25, 2006. 01:00 AM
BRUCE CAMPION-SMITH
OTTAWA BUREAU
OTTAWA—New immigrants could find themselves
on a fast track to Canadian citizenship if they
agree to put on a uniform and serve in the military.
That's one suggestion from Gen.
Rick Hillier, Canada's chief of defence staff, as
he looks at "aggressive" ways to fulfil the
Conservatives' ambitious pledge to add up to
23,000 more soldiers.
"We have to come at this from an entirely new approach," he
said yesterday during a speech to the
Conference of Defence Associations, an
Ottawa-based group of defence-related organizations.
That could even include incentives for newcomers
arriving in Canada.
"If landed immigrants join the Canadian forces they
have an accelerated route to citizenship in our
great country,"
Hillier said, floating one possible solution.
He also mused about an extra week of leave for
every soldier who brings in a new recruit although
he quipped that might bring back the days of
"press-ganging ... guys knocked on the head
and dragged off to a recruiting centre."
Despite military careers that promise a good
salary, training, job security and excitement,
Hillier said he's "puzzled" why more young
Canadians aren't lined up to join the forces.
"If you want to sail the seven seas in the most
high-tech ships in the world, you come see us,"
Hillier said. That's a pitch Canadians can
expect to hear a lot of as the military kicks
up its advertising campaign "in a big way"
to woo potential soldiers, Hillier said
"Realistic ads that show what we do, that show the
excitement that I feel myself," Hillier said.
But the top general had to admit yesterday that he's
offering new recruits a cash-strapped adventure.
Speaking to the conference just a day after Defence
Minister Gordon O'Connor offered the hope of
more money for the military in the upcoming
budget, Hillier delivered his own warning that the
forces are short-changed about $750 million a
year for day-to-day operations.
"That's everything from married quarters to
spare parts, to ammunition, the running of
simulators, to gas and oil, to rations and to
everything else necessary to march or fly or sail."
And he said that over the past two decades,
the forces has put off critical investments in
equipment and building maintenance, creating
a costly backlog.
"It is going to take us billions of dollars to dig out of
that hole. And I mean billions with a capital `B,'"
Hillier said.
Topping his wish list are replacements for
Hercules transport planes, which are now being
grounded because of old age.
"We run a risk that that fleet will end up grounded
and our ability to conduct operations significantly
constrained or stopped," he warned.
He also laid out the need for new search and
rescue aircraft to fly "life and death" operations,
new heavy-lift helicopters to move troops and
gear and the guarantee of long-range transport
aircraft.
While Conservatives and the Liberals before them
have together pledged almost $20 billion in new
military funding, Hillier said yesterday he wasn't
sure whether it would be enough.
But he hinted there is the potential for savings,
noting that one-quarter of the military infrastructure
— old hangars and base buildings — isn't
required for operations.
"We really need to be ruthless about how we
parse that down," he said.
Asked whether that spelled big cuts to military
bases, Hillier said it's too soon to know.

IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN, MEXICO
While Canadian authorities insist they are in the dark about
possible suspects in the slaying of a Woodbridge couple at a
Mexican resort, a top official in the state where the
homicides took place says they'll soon have what they
need to arrest the three people responsible.
All the suspects are women, all are Canadians and all
are in Canada, Bello Melchor Rodriguez, attorney general
for Quintana Roo state, told the Star last night.
"We have photos of all three. We now have names
of all three," Rodriguez said.
Contradicting previous statements, he said Mexican
authorities have not yet been in contact with Canadian
police about the case.
He said he expects contact to be made next week.
"We will be putting together a package of information for
the Canadian police and sending it to Canada next week."
It will include the names of the suspects and photos.

No traces of kayaker Tiffany Tanner

HALIFAX -- Searchers have failed to find any trace of a
missing Nova Scotia kayaker after spending several days
working their way through the narrow German canal
where she was last seen.
Officials said yesterday that divers were back in the
Datteln-Hamm canal, probing an area around a
boathouse Tiffany Tanner, 20, was headed to when
she disappeared Sunday.
FEW CLUES
Klaus Finke, police spokesman in the northeastern city
of Hamm, said they will keep looking through the
weekend, even though they have few clues as to what
happened to the competitive paddler from
Dartmouth, N.S.
Officials now fear that if Tanner drowned and is in the
waterway, her body may have been moved by currents
created by ships now allowed back in the canal.
Two relatives planned to leave Dartmouth yesterday
night to head to the small city northeast of Dusseldorf
to join Tanner's mother, Lisa Tanner, and stepfather,
Kevin Bonang, who travelled to Germany earlier
this week to search for their daughter.
Tanner, who's been working as an au pair in Hamm
since July, climbed into her kayak and headed out on
a calm, clear morning.
As her friends approached the boathouse, they
looked back for Tanner but only saw her overturned,
empty kayak bobbing on the water.

KILLERS CANADIANS? MEN OR WOMEN?

TORONTO -- At a time when a
Woodbridge, Ont., family
should be toasting newlyweds,
they're instead flying
home with two murdered
members, according to
Mexican police.
Police said they released the
bodies of
Domenico Ianiero, 59, and
his wife, Annunziata, 55,
to family yesterday, said
Caesar Munoz,
editor-in-chief of a newspaper in the area.
"The relatives took the bodies on a plane to Canada,"
Munoz said.
But a Toronto-area funeral home that has been asked
by family to pick up the bodies at the airport as of last
night had not been given any flight information.
The victims were found Tuesday with their throats
slashed and with traces of blood outside their hotel
room at Barcelo Maya Beach Resort,
an all-inclusive hotel in the Mayan Riviera.
The gruesome discovery was made just hours
before the Ianiero's daughter, Liliana, 31, was to be
married.
Mexican police have asked Interpol for help in
their investigation, Munoz said.

ARE THE KILLERS CANADIANS
I GUESS WE HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE!!!
Still alot of information missing but Canadians are
not taking this well. Speculation that the killers
were not Canadian is on eveyone's lips.
Hope the Mexican police can solve this satisfactorily.

TURN UP THE HEAT ARUBA....

Because to sit idle
during all these
revelations would
really look odd.

PLAY BY DIFFERENT
RULES!!

Natalee well behaved daughter.

Salt Lake City-AP- February 24, 2006 -
The mother of an Alabama teen-ager who was last seen on
Aruba nine months ago says her daughter had no interest in
a Dutchman who alleges he planned to sleep with the
young woman.
Joran van der Sloot told ABC that he intended to take
Natalee Holloway to his Aruba home to have sex with her
on the night she disappeared, but Van der Sloot says he
did not have a condom with him and instead left her on
the beach after cuddling "for a while."

Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty, says it's impossible to
counter the allegations. Twitty told NBC's "Today" show
that her child is unable to defend herself and that's "so sad."

But Twitty also says Van der Sloot's network interview
might make it easier to pursue a civil case.

Natalee Holloway's Parents Plan Trip To Charlotte
POSTED: 10:57 pm EST February 23, 2006
CHARLOTTE -- The parents of missing teenager
Natalee Holloway are coming to Charlotte for a benefit for
families of missing adults.
Holloway disappeared from a class trip in Aruba in May 2005.
Her parents suspect one of the last people to see her,
Joran Van Der Sloot, was involved in the disappearance.
Holloway's parents will attend the Crystal Ball held in
Charlotte the first weekend in March.
The fundraiser is for the Kristen Foundation, which
started in 2000 for Kristen Modafferi.
Modaferri lived in Charlotte and disappeared in 1998.
The foundation has helped 20 families with missing loved ones.

http://www.wsoctv.com/news/7383906/detail.html

Regardless what the Van der sloot
camp says ...
I believe Natalee was fairly
well behaved.
and very much loved.

THE STAMINA OF LOVING PARENTS.

Who would have thought all this time later ... that
both these parents would stay the course.
If they have not given up. I surely cannot.
This is the love and devotion that all children would
desire from their parents.
You know my mother is a determine woman too and
I fear these type of mothers are not to be fooled with.
JORAN VAN DE SLOOT TELL THE TRUTH!!!
This will haunt you for the rest of your life.
THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY!!!
The only way to begin again is to first tell the truth
AND YOUR ABC INTERVIEW HAS'NT CUT IT!!!!

Canada won't expand hate
law to cover cartoons
Friday, February 24, 2006
TORONTO (Reuters) -
The Canadian government has refused demands from
the country's Muslim leaders to expand a law banning
hate propaganda so that it covers cartoons of the
Prophet Mohammad such as the ones that have
sparked worldwide protests.
Patrick Charette, press secretary to
Justice Minister Vic Toews, told Reuters that
Canada's new Conservative government has no
plans to broaden the scope of the 36-year-old law.
"The provisions covering hate propaganda ...
as they stand strike a balance between the
freedom of expression and also the rights of
minorities to be protected from hatred,"
Charette said. "It's broad enough right now."
Law must allow healthy
criticism
Feb. 24, 2006. 01:00 AM
Any law that makes it an offence to insult or
mock religion, must also allow for a respectful
and healthy critique of any religion, religious
leader and even religious texts. Also, the law
should ensure that such a critique does not
lead to imprisonment or death threats by
governments, religious institutions or
religious vigilantes.

NANCY GRACE'S SHOW!

Recent quotes from the NANCY GRACE show.
TWITTY: I still remain optimistic. I know it`s hard to
do it, but what other hope do we have but to rely on the
Aruban criminal justice system?
And we just hope that it will prevail.
We hope that Aruba will show us they do have
enforceable laws, such as perjury and obstruction
of justice and rape.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GRACE:
To criminal profiler Pat Brown. Why is it so significant that
Joran Van Der Sloot cannot shut up?
PAT BROWN, CRIMINAL PROFILER:
Well, a lot of people can`t shut up when they`re trying to
make up a story that they`re trying to convince you with.
This is a rather psychopathic behavior. And I can`t call
him a psychopath, but I can say he is exhibiting
psychopathic behaviors, one of arrogance that, I can pull
this wool over everybody`s eyes, one of blaming the
victim, and he`s always blaming Natalee.
Hey, here again we have, She wanted sex, I didn`t.
That`s a new one added in her. And...
GRACE:
Well, actually, he was saying she wanted unprotected sex
and I didn`t.
BROWN:
Even worse.
GRACE:
I`m such a great guy.
To Eric...BROWN:
Exactly.
GRACE:
... Marrapodi. Eric, you were telling us about
four televised interviews. What were you saying about
the major inconsistencies between them?
MARRAPODI:
You know, the major inconsistencies that I think
prosecutors are going to be looking at tonight are the
inconsistencies between what he said to police in
interrogation rooms and what he said on these programs.
A big one we can point out tonight to you is, of course,
who picked him up when he left the beach?
Did he walk home? Was it Deepak that picked him up?
Was it Satish? Now in this interview, he`s saying it
was Satish who picked him up from the nearby
fishermen`s huts and took him back to his place at
home -- a big discrepancy.
