What is the point of my post, you may ask, since it so clearly seems not to be political, and thus not really DU material in any way, shape, or form?

What is the point of ANY post, but to inform and/ or create discussion. Missing persons and the wrongly accuused deserve as much democratic consideration and justice as any other person.

Personally, I think they deserve it more so, because their voices (unless they are a young white college kid or white clean-cut mostly female rich person - for example, Smart, Sjodin, Levy, Peterson, Hacking etc.) are rarely heard from or written about or acknowledged in any way shape or form.

Do you know how many persons went missing in California at about the same time as Laci Peterson? Two that I know of specifically. One was hispanic (and also pregnant and also found murdered not too long AFTER Laci) and another was a prostitute, but guess which was talked about incessantly by the media?

And finally, missing persons and serial killers and miscarriages of justice are an example of why the budgets of LE (both here in the U.S and abroad) should be raised (and NOT just for homeland security) which is A VERY POLITICAL subject - in my opinion,

1. Uh, I live in Hudson (mentioned in article)

the house 2 doors down from me is in Marlborough. I appreciate you posting the article because I hadn't seen it.

It's getting a bit uncomfortable out in MetroWest lately - between these killings, a couple of rapes and some home intrusions and peeping toms... Yikes.

BTW, this isn't being taken lightly by the area - no, it'll never make national headlines, but all this crap is getting pretty good coverage, and lots of investigation, locally.

2. Good to hear about not being taken lightly...

any rumours out there about Mailhot maybe being involved in some of these murders?

3. There is a serial killer out in the Marlboro area who hasn't been caught

but the news just reported that the recent murder was a domestic one. A husband killed his wife:

Later on in the article, they mention the three women that were found murdered in 2003/2004:

"The remains of Betzaida Montalvo, 29, were found on the grounds of the Hillside School in Marlboro on Sept. 24, 2003. Five days later, the remains of Carmen Rudy, 29, were found just feet away. The remains of Dinelia Torres, 33, were found about a mile away in Hudson on March 3, 2004."
