U.S.: Here’s a quote in the Jaycee Dugard case bound to stick with you

  • That’s the one I want. She’s cute, but she’s with the other kids. Let’s come back later and get her.
  • Phillip Garrido (according to his wife, Nancy) • When the couple went “child-shopping” before Jaycee Dugard’s capture. He was looking for a cute blonde, and Dugard fit the bill. You remember that whole thing you were told as a kid about not talking to strangers and that sort of thing? This is why. People like Phillip Garrido are actually out there. • source

U.S.: Yuck: A woman performs acts of ultraviolence on a “snitch”

  • I don’t want my children or the people I consider family to be in a place where there are snitches.
  • Phoenix woman Angela Simpson • Describing the nature of the events that led her to allegedly violently murdering Terry Neely. The woman admits to torturing, murdering and dismembering him (and those are only surface details) because he apparently once snitched on somebody a long time ago. Sickening. • source

U.S.: Have nothing better to do today? Read Phillip Garrido’s blog

  • The Creator has given me the ability to speak in the tongue of angels in order to provide a wake-up call that will in time include the salvation of the entire world.
  • Phillip Garrido • In a post on his bat#(&! isane blog, “Voices Revealed.” He’s been updating it in bits and pieces over the last couple of years, although things have picked up in the last couple of weeks. It must’ve been a sign he was about to be arrested. In other news, the authorities noted that the giveaway in the Jaycee Dugard case was the fact that his children seemed like robots. • source

Culture: “Megan Wants a Millionaire.” VH1 wants “Megan” to go away.

  • This show completed production at the end of March. Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family.
  • A statement from VH1 • Regarding pulling “Megan Wants a Millionaire” from their schedule after the death of a model involved with contestant Ryan Jenkins. Jenkins is currently on the run from the law. The case is sick and disturbing (the model, Jasmine Fiore, was found dead in a suitcase – yuck!), and VH1 is doing everything it can to wash its hands of it, noting that the show was “an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1.” Guys, take credit for running the show. You didn’t have anything to do with the contestant going crazy. • source

  • A VH1 reality show contestant is wanted in connection with a grisly murder. Ryan Jenkins, a guy who likes women so much that he’s a serial dater, is currently a “person of interest” in the kind of case that will have tabloid headlines for months based on the details. A swimsuit model (✓) was found dead (✓✓) with her body stuffed in a suitcase (✓✓✓✓✓✓) and Jenkins, who was on “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” is currently the main suspect. (✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓) Scary and sad story, but Nancy Grace is going to be all over this. source
