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.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

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...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
