The last couple of days continue to increase in lack of judgement from the Peterson camp of marshmallow roasters. Besides this ridiculous new bowel movement of recent headlines, Peterson also declined to go on a truth or dare television show. Then of course there was the "photo" sent to the lawyer attemting to say she's alive, NOT, which made the media rounds today: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,327350,00.html .

Infant Baby Boy's Body Found Thrown Off Road in Texas
Yet another baby's body was found not far from where the child known as "baby grace" was disovered just a few months ago. I do not understand the continued disposal for innocent human lives. These days you cannot do much without a license. Maybe it is time each state consider issuing licenses for parents, at the very least it would save a life or two. Before a child is born the parent must produce a certification. If they do not, then the hospital does not release the baby and within a certain time period the child can be placed for adoption into a loving home. And all children have the right to grow up in a safe, warm, loving home.

Lori DeKleine's Last Words To Officer Husband Before Her Murder
Tags:
@ 02:14 AM (7 months, 3 days ago)
In the moments before her death, Lori DeKleine begged her husband, Holland police Officer Ken DeKleine, to "think of the kids" as he strangled her with a strap, a Michigan State Police detective testified during a preliminary exam in Holland District Court on Friday.
Sgt. Gary Miles said DeKleine confessed to the murder, saying that he'd first thought of killing Lori after she filed a personal protection order against him in January 2007.
Since then, the couple had separated and were in the midst of a divorce when Lori, 43, was found dead in the basement of her Calvin Avenue home earlier this month.
DeKleine told Miles that around 3 a.m. on Jan. 10, he hid in the attic of her house and waited for his two children to leave for school.
He planned to kill Lori after she got in the shower, part of her usual morning routine, Miles said.
But those plans changed when Lori called in sick to work around 10 a.m.
DeKleine told Miles that he climbed down from the attic and began to strangle Lori in the kitchen with a climbing strap.
"(Lori) made a statement, 'Think of the kids,'" meaning their two teenage children, Miles said, to which DeKleine replied that he was.
After checking her pulse to make sure she was dead, DeKleine dragged Lori's body into the basement and tied a clean, yellow strap around her neck to make it appear that she had committed suicide, Miles said.
When DeKleine left the house around 1 p.m., he told Miles that he threw his blood-stained clothing out of his car and drove to Prime Care to have a cut lip treated, which Lori had bit during the struggle.
He later bought some peroxide for the injury at Model Drug and drove to McDonald's for a chocolate milkshake before going in for his shift at work that afternoon, Miles said.
Defense attorney Floyd Farmer asked Miles if De-Kleine had expressed concern that Lori may have had a romantic relationship with her therapist. Miles said DeKleine had mentioned it during the interview.
An autopsy indicated that suicide by hanging was not the cause of Lori's death, according to testimony by David Start, Ottawa County medical examiner.
"There was no deep furrow or indentation that we usually see with hangings, deep in the tissue of the neck," Start said.
Start also said scrapes and bruises on Lori's body and bite marks on her tongue show that there was a struggle before she died.
Fractures above and behind her voice box were also not consistent with a suicidal hanging.
The cause of death was determined to be strangulation.
Holland police officer Jeffrey Velthouse, the first to arrive on the scene after Lori was found unresponsive, was handed a tissue as he sniffled on the stand Friday.
Velthouse said that as he entered the house, which he recognized immediately as the DeKleines' residence, he was directed to the basement by DeKleine's teenage son.
In the laundry room, he found Lori's body with a yellow strap tied around her neck.
"I reached down and touched her right elbow and could tell rigor mortis had set in," he said. "Her body temperature was cold."
After testimony, DeKleine's charge of open murder was forwarded to circuit court for trial in Grand Haven.
His arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 4.
Work status
Capt. Jack Dykstra of the Holland police said Friday that since officer Ken DeKleine's arrest due to suspicion of murdering his wife Lori, he has been placed on emergency suspension without pay.
"Basically that means that it's a serious situation, it involves something that caused us to have to immediately stop his employment status, and no pay is involved," Dykstra said. "Anytime something serious like this happens, typically an employee is suspended and there is further follow up and a decision is reached to either discipline or terminate" the employee, he said.
"It has nothing to do with whether or not we believe (the allegations) are true," he added.

Drew Peterson "I Turn Heads"?
Tags:
@ 08:41 PM (7 months, 8 days ago)
Yet another tabloid type article was released today regarding Drew Peterson. This time it was about an admirer, who Peterson claims blew him kisses as she placed the "note" in his residential mailbox. Trash like articles written by reputable college graduate journalist's, continue to put victims of violence, including those missing and or murdered right back into their abusive relationships.The media, those who publish these "less than responsible pieces of toilet paper" just create further damage not only to those family members and their children awaiting news of their missing loved ones, but for victims across the county, paralyzed with fear. Because if they leave, file for divorce, especially, if they are married to anyone in law enforcement, they remain in fear of being murdered. As we just saw in the recent murder of Lori DeKleine, murdered by her Holland, MI, Police Officer husband Ken Dekleine. Who if he had not been so sloppy with the crime scene, may never have been arrested for her murder.

Update: New Uniform For Tin Badge Officer DeKleine
In Michigan, Personal Protection Orders apparently can be issued that do not prohibit the possession of a weapon. Also, they can be issued prohibiting possession of a weapon except while on duty for police officers. My question is why are police officers who are issued an order of protection from a judge allowed to remain on the job? And on an earlier post someone asked the question "how many other officers in this department have person protection orders that have been issued against them? Looks as if the Lautenberg Act should have been enforced. It just might have saved the life of Lori DeKleine.

In an arrest warrant released today, police say they questioned DeKleine three times and that he confessed during the third interrogation.

Officer Ken DeKleine "No One Belived He was Capable of Murder"
Tags:
@ 06:03 AM (7 months, 18 days ago)
In Police Officer related crimes among families, the suspect or in this case Ken DeKleine according to people who posted yesterday, is the last person anyone would suspect of murdering their own spouse. My point is that anyone is capable of committing a crime. What makes it worse is when it is an individual who has taken an oath to serve and protect believe that have the right to take the life of their own wife. Obviously, she was scared by going and securing a court order of protection. Why is it so difficult for those "close" to these families to believe they are not capable? An abuser is clever like a fox. They never allow anyone to really see who they are as a person. I remember when my parents died and those on the force were in denial making remarks like "it was not possible" or "he was a great cop and father" my favorite was "she drove him to this." That is why it is important for everone who is involved in an abusive relationship to have a safety plan. I have not seen much written on Lori, you remember, the woman who is no longer on this earth. Her children need each and every one in the community right now during this time. Not lip service defending a man, accused of murder, you obviously did not know.
