One week to go and choas choas choas

Hey all,

Sorry about not posting, but know I do have a lot to say, so try to keep up.

First the drama, or as I like to call it "As Ft. Myers Turns".

It's been busy at the station the last couple of weeks due to a double murder happening in the area, and they arrested a suspect on Wednesday. It's been a high profile case, as the couple (Michelle and Steven Andrews) was found dead in their gated community Dec. 27. There was a 911 call from their house to police, and when they got their, their 2 year old baby was by the phone. The jury is still out on if the baby actually called or the killer did.

(BTW, they couple was white and both 28, so hence the high profile stuff. No to be racist, but that's news biz for you.)

The sheriff's office has been very hush hush on the case, but rumors started immediately that the husband had an affair, and the killer was the other woman's boyfriend or husband. The sheriff announced that they had a "person of interest" a few days after the murders and said that the community should not worry, because "this was an isolated incident".

Then came this week, when they did announce a suspect. They only announced the name, said DNA evidence lead them to him, and that the Steven Andrews was involved in a affair with the suspect's girlfriend. All of the stations and newspapers but us had a mug of him, as he was jail before. We heard that the sheriff's department was possibly doing an internal investiagtion on possible leaks to the media. Hence why the case has been so hush hush. That and they want to keep the integrity of the case.

The Assocaited Press and the local paper both had a name of the girlfriend, but it was not varified. But we did some investiating and did find that the it was the right name. However, we don't know much about her, as their isn't much info on her, but we do know where she graduated, where she resides, that she has a kid, and is possibly married to the suspect. We figure she is in Orlando with her brother, where the suspect was formally arrested Wednesday afternoon. She did talk to a few newspapers, saying she didd know about the murder after the fact, but didn't report it. This could be because she had a child and was worried for her.

There are forums up on this case and I wouldn't be surprised if Court TV picked it up or possible dateline when it goes to trial.

Okay, now on to the soon-to-be 30 year old.

I leave Jan. 21 for NYC. By the sounds of it, it will be a good time, as my friends are figuring out where they want to take me. I know karaoke is a definate and a dinner a Chumley's is something I wanted to do since my last trip there. I might consider taking a side trip to Jersey to see Jay and Silent Bob's Secret stash as well.

Right now it seems that I am still not part of the gang here yet. Part of it is that I don't go out with them that much and when I do, its hard to try to start a conversation with them. I have been in the "invisible person" funk lately. I say something and no one responds. But I think it will take a little longer. A couple of things coming up including my b-day should hopeful cement more friendships here.

That's all for now. Laters.
