Wouldn't You Like To Know?

A convicted murderer is set free because of a Supreme Court ruling. He's spent most of his life in and out of the prison system. He's free and clear to go where he chooses. He will have no supervision, no rehabilitation.

He's moving to your state.

Do you want to know? Do you think you have the RIGHT to know that a man who killed a single mother in 1977 -resides in your state? Do you think you have the RIGHT to know that this same man, who attempted to molested his stepdaughter during a prison visitation and attempted to ellicit phone-sex from her on another occasion-could potentially be your neighbor?

Ross Renecker could very well become your neighbor, if you live in Arizona.

Some people may say Renecker has served his time, and a man-supposedly dying from cancer-should be able to live out the rest of his life in peace. If you were to ask Frances Stubberfield's family, and hear her story-you may change your mind.

I only heard of this case because of Mark Horner and his blog "Beyond 90 Seconds". If not for him, I may have never heard the potential danger that Arizona residents like myself could face-until it was too late. In order to get the bigger picture- especially if you live in Arizona-you should listen to his interview with the victim's son, Scott Stubberfield.

Then answer the question:

Wouldn't you like to know?

Finally Some Relief For Chandler

Finally, the community of Chandler, Arizona can rest a little easier knowing that a violent sexual predator allegedly responsible for the sexual assaults of 5 girls between 12 and 14 years old has been arrested. He is believed to be the elusive "Chandler Serial Rapist".

A press conference that took place about 2 1/2 hours ago with the Chandler Police Department confirmed that they arrested 39 year old Santana Batiz Aceves in the attacks. Aceves, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, had similar clothing in his vehicle that matched descriptions by victims. Also, DNA swabs matched evidence taken from the attacks. Aceves was living under the alias "Ricardo Ramirez Lopez".

Aceves, an illegal immigrant, was working as a heavy equipment operator, and living in the same area as an attempted attack on November 8, 2007. He has a wife, a son, and a daughter. I'm unaware at this time of their legal status. Surely, Aceves' legal status adds more fuel to the fire regarding the hot-button issue of immigration.

No matter what Aceves' legal status is, this case is about one thing only: The victims. The young girls who have been violated in their own homes. The focus should be on what this creep allegedly did, and on justice for the victims. While I can certainly agree that his legal status is an important element in the case, it usually ends up overshadowing the issue of the major aspect of the crime, and the victims.

I can only imagine the relief of this community that this creep has finally been caught and is off the streets. Tonight, they will rest a little bit easier.

The Babysitter

Sex offenders often prey on the needs of others in order to perpetrate their crimes. Their most common methods are either striking a romantic relationships with single mothers or to simply become a helpful friend in their already hectic lives. It's called "grooming".

1,936 Miles

For those that don't think that child sexual predators are dangerous, manipulative, freaks-listen up.



I don't know too many people, other than family, a few friends, and a few people I have admired from afar, that I would travel 1,936 miles for. That is approximately a 28 hour drive, if driven nonstop. Yet, there are some, so desperate to meet and have sex with young children and teens, that

Guadalupe Antonio Chavez

While searching for more information about the Cynthia Tureman case, I came across this story about Guadalupe Antonio Chavez.

Chavez, age 36, is a registered sex offender, a Level 3 sex offender, in fact--the highest level. Chavez should have been at his Apache Junction, Arizona address; but he wasn't. He was in Scottsdale, living with his girlfriend and her two children-one of which was an 11-

Carrie McCandless used to be a teacher at Brighton Charter High School in Colorado. Her husband is the principal of the same school. But last fall, after school officials found out Carrie McCandless had sexual contact with a 17-year old student, she was fired.

The sexual contact took place during a class trip. Of course, not wanting to risk spending a large amount of jail time she could be

The boys who cried wolf

Imagine you are accused of sexually assaulting your daughter's 16-year-old friend and another 16-year-old boy. The evidence against you seems overwhelming. There's DNA, there's clothing that belongs to you in the boy's possession. Your friends and neighbors are in disbelief. They thought they knew you. They spent time in your home. Your kids hang out together. People that don't even know you are

Dirty Laundry

If you have a washer and dryer in your home, you can breathe a little easier knowing that you don't have to deal with Timothy Schreiber. You can also be grateful that you don't work at the Clean Center Laundry Mat.

Schreiber, labeled a Sexually Violent Predator, spent a few days scoping out places to use the bathroom. He would go into two separate businesses. He would take his time using the
