Here’s the thing, though- they reached out to Halbach’s family to try to talk to them for the documentary, and they flat out refused to participate. So did the prosecution and the police. The only people who agreed to participate were the Averys. So of course it’s going to focus on that part of the story when those…

It’s great that you know what you want and don’t. I was 33 three years ago, and I kept googling “how do I know I want children.” Ambivalence is so much worse than knowing one way or another. Friends told me “well, if you feel ambivalent, it’s a sign you shouldn’t have one.” That turned out to be wrong, because, now…

It never was about deciding guilt. It is about deciding if both of them received a fair trial. Avery’s case was put together by officers that owed him MILLIONS of dollars, hated him, and had wrongfully incarcerated him on purpose before. The kid hardly has shit for brains and yet got forced to confess all kinds of…

Oh man, that sketchy-ass exbf... Also weirded out that the brother jumped to “she’s dead” in the first day of her disappearance.

Tangent: In college, I took a quick shower while waiting for a friend to come over. We were going to hit the town, have drinks, the whole shebang. I got out of the shower and put on a short, silky Victoria’s Secret robe, turned on my Hair soundtrack CD and started spackling makeup on my face. It was about 4 p.m.

I still want to know how that one cop, Andy Colborn, called in Teresa’s license plate and knew the make and model of her car two days before the car was discovered.

And that voice. Don’t even get me started on his stupid voice. Ugh!

this fuckin guy

I’m surprised they never looked into the ex-boyfriend, as that is a very routine thing to do in a situation like this.

Some suspect her ex killed her. But there’s also reason to believe that the cops planted evidence.

there was some light hinting at the ex-boyfriend and also brendan’s older brother & uncle who went hunting that day and gave each other alibis

Love and things like respect and support are different things. My love would never disappear but my unconditional cosigning of his behavior would cease. I am the type who will tell my children in front of innocent adults that they will be believed no matter what ( I even tell my children this about each other) and…

My mom totally handed me off to a stranger on a plane once. I’d been screaming my head off, she was at her wits’ end, and a kindly old lady asked if she could try to calm me down. She still gets teary talking about how relieved she was.

So you won't murder them when they cry all night and our species can keep going

This story only starts out like a horror story. It was horrible for me at the time. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our first Thanksgiving together. It was also just a couple years since my Mom died, a loss which had blasted a huge hole in our family. We scattered after that and had Thanksgivings either alone or…

Gawker dumped kitchenette?

Grew up in Milan, where you see skinny models everywhere. The women in my family are small and pretty. I came out taller and bigger and hungrier. My mom goes to the gym seven days a week twice a day and has been on a diet since 1987, the time I was born at a low weight because she had decided she was too fat and…
