Missing...

Usually you get all the headlines for America's Most Wanted's upcoming episodes in one single post, but one of the cases didn't make it to my first post, and after hearing a little about it- I wanted to make sure that I gave it some attention.

It's an all to common story of a broken marriage with less than amicable relationships- that turned into a mystery when three members of the family disappeared.

Ruby Santiago was happily married until she joined the military and her husband Victorio became upset with the lack of time she spent with the family- which included her two sons: Noel and Daniel. As the marriage began to deteriorate, domestic violence began increasing and Ruby ultimately filed for a temporary restraining order against Victorio. That's when things got worse:
Cops say that Victorio went to talk to his wife about the restraining order and ask for forgiveness. Cops say he scattered rose petals all over the ground inside the house in an attempt to charm his estranged wife.

Although Victorio intended to reconcile the domestic issues during that emotional conversation, the couple got into a fight. Police claim Victorio held Ruby down on the bed and punched her in the head.

Ruby, who was in tears and was so injured she had to seek medical care, locked herself in the bathroom. Victorio then drove off with the boys in a car rented from Thrifty Rental Car.

Neither Victorio nor the two boys have been seen since shortly after 1am when he took the children from his Pearl Harbor home. Because he was enlisted, military police began looking for him after he failed to show up to work, and due to the domestic violence claims against him. They have been unable to locate either him or the children.
n their investigation, police discovered questionable notes Victorio left for his family and his colleagues, saying he was sorry for what had happened. In the notes, he expressed how he wanted his affairs handled if he died. Victorio hoped that Ruby would drop the restraining order and they would eventually get back together. He was very apologetic that his marriage had failed, concerned that he had cast a negative light on his profession, and -- most importantly -- he was worried that he would separated from his two boys.

Cops say that Victorio wrote a note indicating that he felt lost because his wife refused to give him another chance. They say he also wrote that if he was to be separated from his kids, then expect the worst: he might end his life. He specifically requested that his body be cremated and that his ashes be scattered near his mother's grave.


For more information on this case, be sure to tune in to America's Most Wanted Saturday at 9 pm on your local Fox station, or click over to their website where you can find details on the case, along with aged progress photos of the children, and descriptions of Victorio.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...
