Found Baby Boy

[himom]

We all talked about Laci Peterson earlier, and I guess this might be a connection. It's heartbreaking and horrible. I have an overwhelming urge to go wake my son up from his nap and cuddle him. I'm so thankful for my baby!

Another news release I read indicated the baby still had his umbilical cord attached. I can’t grasp how evil you have to be to do this to a mommy and baby.

Jodi,
Thanks for that link. I was just asking my DH this weekend if he'd heard any updates. I can't imagine what her family must be feeling right now, regardless of whether this proves to be Laci and Connor's bodies....

Thanks for sharing I think about her so much...
What an awful awful thing...I swear when he said "she knew of my afair and was OK with it" I knew then she was dead...for I doubt very well she would have been OK with it and by him saying that we knew shed never be alive to speak the truth. I just knew it.

UGHHH...awful...what a shame he was a good looking man and she was a very radiant looking women...that husband give me the creps!!!

Ugh, this just makes me nauseous. I'm hugging my babe a little tighter today and thanking my lucky stars for my good fortune in my choice of husband.

Did they find out whether or not it was Laci and Connor's bodies?

I watched the news and tried to see what they had to say but all the stupid local news could report was about how some guy from Kansas is taking the headcoach position at UNC.

What a scary world we live in

They have finished the initial autopsy and have not been able to conclude for sure that it was either of them, however they are going to get DNA samples from the husband and try to determine it that way. They were also unable to conclude the cause of death due to the decomposition of the bodies (they were floating in salt water for a long time).

Turns out the the husband owns property on a small island not too far from where the bodies washed up on the coast.

The one thing that really starts making me think that it is her is that there are no other pregnant women who have been reported missing in this part of California. I just hope they make him pay.

I think there is no doubt that it is her...they just need to officially prove it...

It's so sad. It has to be her. And that means that whomever did it, kept her alive for months until the baby was born! I am none tii comfortable with the fact that the husband is 'hiding' out down here, too.

Poor poor woman. I also cuddle my baby closer when I hear stuff like that. I'm so Blessed.

Actually I think she was killed back in December. They said that most of the flesh had decomposed and they had mostly skeletal remains.

I am just guessing here, but if most of the body decomposes, couldn't the fetus float out separately (and hence be found separately)?

In any case, you're right, it's a good time to thank God that I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful babies who are alive and healthy.

Yeah I suspect the same thing she was killed back in Dec is what I would thing. It is probably hard to determine "a true full term baby" form what has happened. Also stress from her doing this to her could have put her in labor to I wondered...

anyway I can't think about it so I'll end this here...
