Jasmine had her teeth pulled out to prevent dental indentification...I'm not sure if she had her figers cut off or the tips burned but it all seems so gruesome and chilling.Horrible and sad at the same time.I guess we'll never really know what the poor woman did to deserve this. RIP Jasmine.
@lindaloveslace: "I guess we'll never really know what the poor woman did to deserve this. RIP Jasmine."
I'm not sure what you mean by that? I don't think it takes a lot for any woman to become a victim of male violence. I think what "the poor woman" did was being a woman.
I've almost become the victim of male violence on several occasions. You know what I did to "deserve" it? Traveled in a foreign country on my own. Walked the streets on my own.
@Highsmith: Highsmith I too have had problems with my ex.Once because the meal wasn't warm enough and another time because I talked during the News.
There's no mystery in my statement...I would have wanted him to go on trial and explain to the world his brutal gest and pay for it.
Obviously we don't know if he actually killed her yet, but whoever did it was fucked up enough to pull her teeth so she had to be identified by her breast implant serial numbers.
@coconanas: The reason I came to think that he did was that he fled and left the country, parking his car in WA and crossing the Canadian border on foot, evading the police--very suspicious. Then I found out that he had a police record of domestic violence. From my own family history, I find it highly credible that a guy who is violent and controlling toward women would murder his wife when she may have been trying to leave.
For everyone going on about how great this is and how he got what he deserved---
There has been no justice here. For starters, we don't technically know if he has done anything. For another, if he DID do something (which looks pretty likely), he escaped justice on his own terms. He did not have to face the law, Jasmine's friends and family, a jail: nothing. This is a tragedy all around.
@LaComtesse: I'm trying to look on the upside, and the only silver lining I see is he will never be able to hurt another woman again. Even if he was charged and convicted, he could get parole and just get out to hurt more women (remember the stories of the women who wrote Scott Peterson?). It's a tiny bit of satisfaction in an otherwise completely unfair and unsatisfactory situation.
@Too sad for a bacon joke: Another iota of good – he won't be able to write some crappy tell-all from jail or compete in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! after serving 10 years.
Well it appears Nancy Grace and the other cable news networks will have to figure out something else to do with their time... As this story did not follow the usual script.. There will be no high powered lawyers, no international relations, no Page 6, US Weekly, Entertainment Tonight, no "Legal Expert reporters", just a dead woman who suffered a senseless murder, a dead fugitive, and well families in mourning on both sides. This story was all to real and their was little of the over produced reality we all love so much. Sigh, I hope his millions are used for some kind of advocacy, awareness. This is just sad and crazy all around. RIP Jasmine.
You know, as far as I know(and I could be very wrong) He was still just a suspect. I hope the police don't stop investigating until they are sure he was the perpetrator. If he did it, this is a just a end- the Romans had a great idea to fall on your sword when you were terrible, but-*if* he didn't I hope they catch that girls killer.
@Raised-byHeathens: The odds that it wasn't the husband from whom this woman wanted a divorce (or was already divorced from and was in the middle of an attempted reconciliation -- reports differ) and who was seen on security camera leaving the hotel with the suitcase in which her mangled body was found are low.
Sure, he wasn't tried and convicted, but the guy did it.
Well this shit keeps getting weirder and sadder. You have to wonder how Megan feels about this...kissing a psychopath who murdered his wife and then your show. The combination of being completely creeped out and annoyed that he got my show canceled and feeling insanely guilty for feeling annoyed because a woman did lose her life...I just mindfucked myself thinking about thinking about it. Won't call myself in the morning, either.
@Zombies make the heart grow fonder: Yup, it also screams guilty. Pity that he took the easy way out, instead of giving his wife's family and friends some sense of closure or justice.
@Mally: It is true. It is a double edged sword. On the one hand, he will not be convicted nor serve any time in prison. On the other, at least there was not some drawn out trial to relive the horror and there is no chance of him walking away on a not guilty.
Gee, Aisha Curry... Could it be that Tameka's title is similar to yours because "You're pretty for dark-skinned girl" is a back-handed compliment that too many dark-skinned girls hear all too often?
And that maybe the points between your book and her post are similar because there are commonalities between women who have experienced that kind of scrutiny about their looks?

What a pathetic waste of a human life, and how tragic he couldn't have just done this in the first place instead of killing Jasmine.
