What on earth could possibly be going on in their lives that a mother, a professional woman, would kill her daughter and herself? This story just boggles me and makes me sad:

What on earth indeed? They must have a ton of evidence for this as it was ruled a suicide/homicide rapidly.

unfortunately, that's not too weird. just sad.

Shawnee123 · 07-15-2010, 02:17 PM

Yeah, I didn't know where else to put it.

The weird part to me is why. Drugs? Crazy?

Man throws dog, assaults daughter

Quote:

A man was so upset the family dog got sprayed by a skunk on Sunday that he took it out on the dog and then his family, Pocono Mountain Regional police said.

James C. Haney, 44, of 1929 Mountain Road in Tunkhannock Township took the dog and threw it off the back deck, and then assaulted his daughter, police said.

Police were dispatched at 9:59 p.m. Sunday on a report that a man, later identified as Haney, was high on drugs, flipping out and destroying the house. When police got there, they found three girls and Christine Haney, 18, who had locked themselves inside a bedroom.

Police found James Haney, but he was uncooperative. An investigation revealed that he had assaulted his daughter Christine and the dog after it had been sprayed by the skunk. Police also found marijuana and paraphernalia in the home.

"I see," said the blind carpenter, as he picked up his hammer and saw.

(I slay me!)

Quote:

A Meridian man is doing something quite remarkable.

For more than 30 years now he has been making things out of wood -- but he has been doing it without a crucial tool.

It's not a saw, hammer or chisel that he's missing, but instead -- his eyesight.

And you might just be able to argue Jerry Gibson isn't missing it at all.

Gibson lost his sight in a construction accident about 35 years ago.

Soon after that, Jerry began teaching himself how to operate all these tools

Blond bombshell

When Angela Ihegboro first saw her newborn daughter, she was "speechless."

"She's a miracle baby," the 35-year-old mother said yesterday. "But still, what on earth happened here?"

What happened is that baby Nmachi is a blue-eyed, blond-haired white baby born to two black Nigerian immigrant parents at a London hospital.

"The first thing I said was, 'What the flip?' " said the father, Ben Ihegboro. "We both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages -- not saying anything."

He quickly sought to dispel any speculation.

"Of course she is mine. My wife is true to me," the 44-year-old customer-service adviser said. "Even if she hadn't been, the baby still wouldn't look like that."

Genetics experts don't believe in miracles, but they didn't have any simple answers to the mystery of baby Nmachi. Instead, they offered three theories:

* She's the result of a gene mutation unique to her. If that is the case, Nmachi would pass the gene to her children -- and they, too, would likely be white.

* She's the product of long-dormant white genes, passed on to her by her parents, that might have been carried by their predecessors for generations without surfacing until now.

* While doctors have said Nmachi is not an outright albino, or lacking in all pigment, they added that the child may have some kind of mutated version of the genetic condition -- and that her skin could darken over time.

Hmmmm... Maybe she's a Nigerian albino child witch.

TheMercenary · 07-22-2010, 08:47 AM

It happens. I am sure that both parents were a bit surprised.
