It's awful and I hope that this terrible situation helps inspire the criminal justice system to take evidence of abusive households more seriously when conducting future investigations. It's a fact that women are more likely to be victims of crime in their homes than on the streets. I think that if the criminal justice system were more serious about addressing domestic violence and developing a more systematic approach to addressing domestic violence then horrific incidents like this one could be avoided.Amanda Gigliohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10933066686635129069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250349349740454919.post-7672367708273200072012-04-03T08:16:04.584-04:002012-04-03T08:16:04.584-04:00This is a terrible situation.

Although we do have the benefit of hindsight, that Josh's children (or at least Charlie) acknowledged that their mother was dead, and then conveyed this to a teacher is troubling. It is not clear whether Josh's children were ever interviewed after their mother's disappearance (and presumably they were), but for Charlie to say this to a teacher means that at least two people besides Josh knew that something was wrong. All in all, this was a terrible tragedy, not just with Susan's disappearance but the home explosion as well.Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03467184486905610640noreply@blogger.com
