I’m sure that Matthew like his father is an outstanding journalist, but it was also his father who demanded that the WFAA newsroom go silent when Jan Bridgman killed herself in August 1984 over Tracy Rowlett.

The only reason you would hire a security guard or company and cancel them while the attacks are occuring is because you know the person and you think you can control or at least manage the situation and protect yourself.

This is all the police need to focus on and that is Jeanmarie knew whoever it was that attacked her three different times (that we know of) and knew them well. That is the absolute fact. If he exists, she knew the 912 neck tattoo retaliation person intimately. What is the significance for her and the number 912 so much so that she would give the police that specific of a description?

No woman who has just been traumatized by such a brutal attack by strangers in ski masks in her own home would be out in the front yard with nobody else around the day after the attack. She also would never let her husband leave her and the children alone unless it was a life or death emergency. Who ever goes to the doctor for their stitches to be removed right as soon as you are supposed to? That is one of those appointments you keep canceling because it has nothing to do with anything by that point except to take up an hour of your day. All I am saying about that is he should have stayed home to protect his wife or take his stitches out himself. Unless they were staples and then wait at least two weeks past when the doctor told you to come back before you even start thinking about it.

Were there any witnesses to the Sherry Lane incident where she supposedly had a laptop worth $2000 and a diamond ring worth $10,000 taken from her. I can’t imagine that at 4:30 in the afternoon in Preston Center someone wouldn’t have noticed a guy or guys in ski masks. I assume those two items went missing and were reported to the insurance company which I assume just pays on them if there is a corresponding police report. Did somebody sell them as well?

I don’t think the police will have to dig too deep. That boyfriend must know something.

So does CBS 11:

As Dooner mentions, Erik Hansen said he had been dating the mother. In the latest version of the DMN story online, he also cast doubt on her reports of the earlier assaults:

As an aside, I note that DMN online has made the story almost impossible to find – as of 9:00 a.m. Saturday, you will need to scroll down on the first page, click “Local”, then scroll down to the heading “Crime/Courts” to find the story.
