48 Hours ran the latest updates to the Ryan Ferguson story last weekend. The show was titled "The Accuser". I have been following this story since 2006.
For those of you who haven't followed the story, you can read about the story here, and you can read my original thoughts on this case from February 2006 here. I titled the post "Confess to a murder you didn't commit?"
I never believed Charles Erickson (who then went by the name "Chuck" back then)--not one time nor did I believe that Ryan killed Kent Heitholt. Now for the first time, Charles speaks out about the case to 48 Hours. He says he lied and wants to correct a wrong.
I have absolutely and 100% have stood by the fact that I believe Ryan Ferguson is innocent and honest, and had no part in the killing of Kent Heitholt. I have also said from day one that Charles Erickson was lying.
When I watch Charles Erickson speak to Erin Moriarty on 48 Hours, I do believe he is FINALLY BEING HONEST. He is telling the truth! He didn't remember anything, and under pressure, he lied to save his own hide --obviously realizing he was in way too deep.
Charles said, "The reason I felt I needed to lie and make things up is because I couldn't remember anything." This is the truth and it is sad to see the judge doesn't believe it.
If there is one case in our justice system that I find horrifying, it is this case. Ryan Ferguson should not be locked up and needs to be freed IMMEDIATELY.
I believe Ryan has the best and most capable attorney, Kathleen Zellner, helping his cause, but all her amazing work has yet to free Ryan -- mind you however, I believe she will work tireless until he is freed, and he will be freed. He has to be, if we want to have a fair system!!
Please show your support for Ryan on your Facebook page, website and with your friends. Justice needs to be served and served now!!

To the surprise of many people, Jodi Arias took the stand in the murder trial of Travis Alexander yesterday.
We see a cold, calculating and manipulative woman playing the jury when we watch her talk. She's answer the questions looking straight at the jurors--hoping to convince them by the old myth of "direct eye contact" that she is being honest. It's going to backfire on her, if you ask me. I suspect the jurors will feel it is contrived and fake--playing to them to score points.
Jodi is a steely woman, and what many would call an "ice queen"--the typical traits of a psychopath.
Her soft near whisper demeanor is a weapon in her tool box as is her "innocent" and "frail" looks. If you notice Jodi is wearing a short sleeve shirt to show off her small stature. She is hoping to convince a jury that she killed in self-defense, but if you know anything about this story, you will find that laughable.
When Jodi first killed Travis, she denied any involvement at all. She told police she wasn't at the scene. Then when police confronted Jodi with evidence that she was at the scene (nude photos being one), she then tried to tell the police that two masked gunman broke into Travis' house in the middle of the day and they simply killed him and left her go free. Her story was full of holes than as well--the biggest being a lack of supportive emotions--which I suspect we will continue to see as she tells her latest story.
But when Jodi found out she could get the death penalty, all of the sudden her latest story emgered: she killed Travis in self-dense. Yeah, she just happened to grab a gun and a knife in 50 seconds WHILE BEING ATTACKED (photos show the timeline) and killed him. I don't think anyone will buy it. This should not be the Case Anthony trial of the year.
Jodi Arias is chillingly void of emotions. She has them for herself, but no one else and trying to convince people that she was so scared for her life that she killed Travis will be entertaining to watch.
I can't wait for the cross-examination. That's when we'll get to see this manipulator at her best! Will she crack under pressure when she feels her life is on the line? Will she be able to show any emotions at all? That's what I'm looking forward to.

For those of you who have followed my blog for years, or attended one of my law enforcement training classes, you've been introduced to Jodi Arias. She's a soft-spoken, sweet demure woman who if you didn't know any better could sell herself to you as a sweet, innocent religious woman who couldn't harm a flea.
But if you fell for her, you'd fall pray to one of the most serious psychopaths of our time. Think Casey Anthony. News outlets are saying this is going to be one of the biggest cases of the year and I'm not surprised.
Before Jodi even went to trial for the murder of her boyfriend Travis Alexander, she has changed her story three times. First she says she wasn't at the crime scene, but that changed that story when police confronted her with nude pictures of her and Travis on the day he was killed.
So Jodi's next story? It was that she was, in fact there, but she didn't do it. She witnessed two "individuals" harm Travis. The problem, on the camera that showed Travis and her having sex, was a photo that was recovered by police that inadvertently captured Jodi dragging Travis' body.
Oops.
When that didn't work, Jodi changed her story again to say, um, yes, she killed Travis, but it was in self-defense.
I can hear you all say in unison, yeah right!
Her attorneys are saying that she dropped Travis camera in the shower while taking pictures of Travis, and that enraged him -- so he lashed out at her and she had no choice but to save her life and kill him.
Hmmm...the gun and knife that ravaged Travis' body where just there and in reach for Jodi -- no planning or effort needed. It's flat out laughable!
And add to the facts that Jodi Arias never called police. She just fled the scene. The odds of her getting off, if you ask me, are one in a million.
Dan Abraham has come out saying that he believes Jodi Arias is claiming self-defense to try to avoid the death penalty. Yes, Jodi Arias is facing the death penalty if convicted.
But it gets more stunning -- Jodi Arias tells Inside Edition in a last ditch effort to manipulate, "No jury is going to convict me...because I am innocent, and you can mark my words on that one. No jury will convict me."
This time, Jodi, the only one you are successfully manipulating is yourself. We all see you clearly for who you are: a raging psychopath.
I didn't know half the facts we know today about this case, but I didn't believe a word out of Jodi Arias' mouth when I first saw her on 48 Hours four years ago. You can read my thoughts here.

If you missed this weekend's 48 Hours, you missed a fascinating study of one human being: Robbie Walters. He was a vacant-eyed, cold, haunting individual who was convicted of killing his girlfriend. Robbie talks about what happened the night they "supposedly" had a car accident and what you see when you watch Robbie talk is chilling!
Robbie's emotions are flat out inconsistent with what he wants us to believe. He smirks and smiles at times it completely contradicts his message, and he seems obviously to it.
It shows the power of facial expressions in stark contrast to the spoken word!

If you didn't get to watch 48 Hours this weekend, you missed a fascinating real life whodunnit story. Robyn Davis' husband, Brian Davis, is found murdered in a remote area and it doesn't take police long to zero in on Robyn and her best friend Cissy.
The only evidence police have against Robyn is her cell phone records. They say they bounced near a town near where the murder occurred.
When you watch Robyn Davis, what do you think? I am traveling this week, but when I can, I will post my thoughts about Robyn.

This was originally published in May 2012 when this episode first aired.
______________________________
In this interview, Bruce gives us a lot of inconsistencies when he speaks. I was amazed at how much he revealed in just the intro segment alone.
When Bruce says, "I did not kill my wife. I really didn't" we actual see a flicker of positive emotion which instantly raises my eyebrows. Not only that, he is shrugging his shoulders and uses the word "really" which stands out to me in his denial. They weaken his denial considerably. He should be emphatic that he did not kill his wife, if he didn't, but we don't see a hint of that. Instead we see one contradictory clue after another.
I think this picture says it all. It was taken when he says, "I really didn't." His shoulder is shrugging.
This snapshot of him speaking at this moment shows his lack of confidence without question, and it shows his positive emotion as well. You can feel him almost pleading, "Do you believe me???"
Bruce continues, "At the time of our trip, we were getting along splendidly." The word "splendidly" immediately catches my eye.Watch him shrug his shoulders again as he speaks.
I certainly do not believe Bruce at all. I do believe Monica's sister, without hesitation.
Bruce says, "The next morning she wasn't back and now I was really (shoulder shrug) nervous." This is interesting on two fronts. He didn't get "nervous" until morning? And why would he get "nervous"? I would expect worry, concern, or fear, but not nervousness. But I believe Bruce was nervous that morning, ironically, but for different reasons. Also the word "now" stands out. Wouldn't you be distressed after your wife didn't return after a couple of hours--especially if she didn't have her cell phone? Why would he suddenly become nervous in the morning? Hmmm....
Watch Bruce's shoulders when he said, "All of the sudden, everything that you know, everything that you love, everything that you care about sort of disappears."
Every statement Bruce makes (and we've only seen less than a minute or two of him talking) leaks clues like a sieve. His last statement above is no exception. "All of the sudden" stands out to me. Monica's disappearance didn't develop all of the sudden by the account he tells us, which makes his words odd to me. They stand out.
His story is that she went out shopping and never came back. Most people would be thinking maybe their loved one got lost, got in trouble, etc and would be frantic trying to see if they could find them and help them. The situation would develop over a few hours. It wouldn't be all of a sudden. But if Bruce killed her, it would be "all of the sudden".
I also noticed how he talks about everything he knew and loved suddenly disappeared. Did you notice that he didn't say "the woman I loved"? He seems to be talking about things being gone--since he is in jail!
Bruce also says "sort of" disappear. How do things "sort of" disappear?
What is the likelihood Monica would disappear out shopping for a day and her body would end up in the sewer on the property of the hotel where she was staying? I would think that would be remote. It's not impossible, but remote, if you ask me. I think of Monica being abducted by someone. The abductor isn't going to say hey where are you staying--let's go there so people you are traveling with can identify us and hey, while I'm there, I'm going to dispose of your body. That's the last place on earth someone would bring Monica back to. But if Bruce killed her, it was the most accessible way to dump her body as he didn't have many options, did he?
As Bruce talks about Monica's body being found, he says, "I sort of slumped. I sort of collapsed.....I just...went...... kinda blank."
Ouch! I don't think that needs any explanation.
I do not believe a word out of Bruce's mouth. In the few short sentences he has said to date, not one has shown any consistency with what he wants us to believe.

I finally was able to do some catching up last night. I was able to watch last week's TV shows. I watched 48 Hours Secrets of a Marriage. It was an interesting story of a husband and a wife, and sadly, murder.
I believe the jury got this case correct when they put Wesley Earnest behind bars. While there were several indicators for me, the one that I found the most fascinating was what Earnest said when he was asked the following question in the 48 Hours interview:
"Are you prepared if the verdict comes back guilty? Have you thought about that?" Smith asked Earnest.
"I have," he replied.
"What do you do?"
"Stare at the walls in a 6x8 cell."
Really?
If he's wrongly convicted, he'll just stare at the walls?
Wow.
If you were innocent and handed down a guilty verdict, would you just sit and stare at the walls?
It's fascinating how a guilty mind works versus an innocent one. They don't run the same channels no matter how hard they try to make them!

If you saw 48 Hours this past weekend, it was a fascinating story about a couple, Chris and Sheri Coleman, who were married twelve years, and supposedly became a target of hate mail. They started receiving threatening letters targeting Chris because he worked for Joyce Meyer, a well known religious televangelist. The letters hit Chris up to stop "preaching the bull".
Move forward six months later, and the family is still receiving hate mail. Chris goes to the gym one morning and tries to call his wife. He couldn't reach her, so he calls a neighbor who happens to be an investigator at the local police department, Detective Justin Barlow.
Detective Barlow sadly finds the entire Coleman family murdered in a house.
This case was littered with clues about who did this, and the police correctly picked up on it and prosecuted Chris Coleman who is now behind bars and rightfully so.
At the end of the 48 Hours show, I found it fascinating what Chris said. Chris is asked if he knows who murdered his family.
Chris responds, "I have absolutely no clue, believe me. I've racked my brain to try...for two and a half years to try and figure that part out (laughter). I just had to stop and give it to God--just release that and do my best to forgive that person and move on."
Oh. My. God.
That is the most absolutely ridiculous thing I have ever heard: bar none.
If there is one statement that puts the nail in the coffin for Chris, this has to be it!!!
No innocent man who is sitting in jail for killing his wife and kids is going to give it to God and move on. Hell no!!! They are going to want to get justice for what was done to themselves and their loved ones!! They aren't going to forgive a person who wrongly put them in jail!!!
It's amazing to me how the mind thinks it can fool people. If this guy had any clue how a real victim would feel, he would have NEVER said this.
Unbelievable.
If anyone had their doubts about Chris, this should close the book for sure.

This has to be one of the most bizarre stories I have seen since writing this blog for seven years! Jeffrey Locker was found stabbed to death in Harlem, and what police uncovered in the search for the killer was bizarre. Video footage quickly lead them to Kenneth Minor as their suspect and murderer, but Minor's story was like a twisted nightmare like no other I have ever heard!
Minor claimed that Locker asked him to kill him because he was involved in a ponzi scheme and was in serious financial trouble. Minor said that Locker wanted to be murdered so his family could collect on his insurance policies. According to 48 Hours, his insurance policies totaled a staggering twelve million dollars.
When I watched Minor tell his story, I have to admit, I was going back and forth like a ship rocking: I believe him here, he's lying here, and then I didn't know what to think. I had to absorb everything to make sense of it all. As with many cases, the truth and lies are often blended together, and I suspect that is the case here.
Clearly, Minor has no remorse for what he did, and would have no problem killing a man for money. We can see he went out to cash in immediately. He also hit me as someone who could lie to anyone without worry. I wonder if he is pathological.
In the end, I personally do not believe Minor's version of events that Locker plunged himself into a knife that Minor held. I think that was a story concocted by Minor to say it was suicide, and only suicide--thinking he could get off. I believe Minor outright stabbed Locker, but I also believe that Locker did have a plan and wanted to be murdered because of the evidence uncovered by police--specifically the email from Locker's son and the bizarre behavior of Locker's wife and kids when the police alerted them about his death.
You can't write fiction this crazy. You simply can't!
48 Hours reported that during Minor's trial, no one from the Locker's immediate family came to the trial. The Lockers haven't done any interviews about this story at all, which I find suspect. If their beloved Jeffrey was killed by a stranger, without their knowledge, you would think they would want justice and would want to call out a liar, but they don't. They keep out of the public eye, and have pursued the insurance money.
How I would love to see Jeffrey's widow speak about this!!!
48 Hours also mentioned that Jeffrey's wife is suing one insurance company for $4 million dollars. The other company that issued $8 million dollar policy refused to release if they paid the Lockers or not. I suspect by that statement alone that they did pay, and that combined with the fact Mrs. Locker is only suing the company, supports that, too.
Can you imagine allowing your husband to get "murdered" so you can live a rich life?

48 Hours profiled the murders of married couple Charlene and Ernest Scherer. Their son, Ernie, Jr. was looked at for their murder and was eventually tried and convicted. I believe the jury got it right.
Ernie leaked a lot of clues in the interviews I saw of him on the show. One of the more interesting ones was his head shake when he was asked by investigators, "Did you have any involvement in your parents' death?" Watch Ernie. The investigator continues, "Did you hire anybody or pay anybody to kill your parents?" Ernie makes another interesting movement with his head, again.
For those of you who have attended my class, here is another example to hone your skills! Did you catch it?

Here is a police interrogation audio tape of Eric Naposki after multimillionaire Bill McLaughlin's murder in December 1994. Its a 48 Hours extra (if you didn't see the show, click here).
In this clip, then a murder suspect (now a convicted killer), Eric Naposki, seems to be insinuating that he wasn't even dating Nanette Johnston, the woman who people believe conspired with Eric to kill McLaughlin. He calls her an acquaintance and a business partner.
Imagine that.
If you've seen 48 Hours, you will know that he has since confessed his love for Nanette.
Detective Voth, who worked this homicide, said about Eric's interviews, "He was very evasive."
Detective Voth remembers Eric wouldn't give him a straight answer about his relationship with Nanette.
When it came to owning a gun, Eric again was not forthcoming, either. He denied he owned a gun, but later confess to owning a .9mm--the same gun that killed McLaughlin. And ironically, Eric would never identify the location of his gun to police. Hmmm....
In his interview with 48 Hours, Eric was asked, "You never suspected that she [Nanette] and Bill McLaughlin shared an intimate relationship?" Eric replied, "I never once suspected."
Yet if you watched the 48 Hours show, at the end, Eric flat out contradicts himself. He seems to have a track record for that, doesn't he? When Eric tries to explain why he had written down McLaughlin's license plate number (which he gave no explanation for at his trial), he now tells 48 Hours that he wrote it down because, "I wanted her followed to see what she was doing....See I was catching on to her. ...I knew something was fishy."
Yeah right.
Eric truly has no problem stretching the truth whenever it fits him. He has demonstrated it multiple times in a short period of time. I can imagine his trial was loaded with a lot more inconsistencies--that's why he was convicted after only 7 hours of deliberation. I think his sentence was just.
You may have also noticed that Eric leaks micro expression smirks throughout his interview. It shows his arrogance and it what experts call duper's delight. Not only does his story not make any sense--neither do his emotions.

Did you see 48 Hours this past weekend? Sandra Franklin claims she killed her husband, Peter, in self-defense.
I personally didn't believe Sandra's story whatsoever. I suspect she planned the murder, took control of Peter's finances and his life, and wanted him out of the picture. I believed Peter's ex-wife that Peter was not one to lay a finger on anyone and Sandra's story that he used his key knife to go after her was ridiculous.
Here is what I believe: Sandra convinced Peter for whatever reason that he should sign over all his assets to her. She convinced him to go into pain management, so she could cabbage a lot of money, before axing him out of the picture...Creepy, I know. But that is how I see it.
She got justice with her sentence-- 15 years to life! I wouldn't trust that woman to stand behind me for even a blink of an eye. She is dangerous from my point of view.
