Subject: Susan Smith




Watching today for only the second time the DVD for the original pilot of the 1973 "Six Million Dollar Man" I caught another detail I wonder about.

"Steve Austin" is pitifully confined to the hospital bed and he tells his nurse that he hasn't spoken to her in the four months since he tried to kill himself, when he was begging her to let him die, because he had nothing to say until that moment, four months later.

That's what my mother told me at least once. She told me that I didn't first speak as expected when I was a young child and she told me that when I did start talking for the first time she asked me why I had not talked and I responded with words to the effect of "Because I had nothing to say." She has also told me some other times my very first word was "Batman" as I uttered when that television series was on television back in the 1960's.

I don't recall when she told me about "Because I had nothing to say." I’m sitting here now wondering if that is something she told me after October 1994 but I really have no idea when she said that.

I know that I just don't trust her anymore. I have been thinking that Susan Smith global incident is based on something my mother attempted to do a very long time ago but that is just a suspicion that lingers in my mind. I have thought several times about how I suspect she came out to visit me in Bellevue Washington in 2002 just to try to get me to talk about how I was gunshot in 1993. I suspect she talked to people about that and she was in trouble for that and if she could get me to talk about it in public then she would be off the hook.

And having just watched again the sobbing mother looking at "Steve Austin" with the wires sticking out of his arm and her subdued bewilderment "What are you?" I just have to do something.

Am I so deperate to regain a life filled with such tragedy? I couldn't stop them then and I can't stop them now.

Remember that Lesa Jewell, as I remember it, was the organizer for that high school reunion we had in the summer of 1994. We could have had that reunion at any time of the summer or any time of the year for that matter. But it was scheduled well in advance for a time of the year that was the same time as my niece's birthday. We had reunion events scheduled at that park near that school you all went to school before I moved to Ashdown and my sister was having a birthday party for my youngest niece at exactly the same time. I still remember all that. Someone asked me about the night before and I commented that I could use a nap. I was wearing a purple shirt with khaki slacks. I had on the Ray Ban Wayfarers sunglasses I used to wear back then. Then I walked over to where my sister had the birthday party for my niece. That was August 1994. Then I drove back to Charlotte North Carolina. I was sick when I got back and I remembered that Michelle Center hugged me as she left that night club in Texarkana and she told me she was sick and she told me she would see me again in ten years. I was sick with the flu for several days after I got back to Charlotte.

Dr. Rudy Wells: Everything I told Steve Austin was designed to reassure him that in all respects, he'd be a normal man again. What I didn't tell him, because I didn't feel he was ready for it, was the extent to which he would be abnormal. I didn't tell him that if the operation was a success his physical powers would be absolutely awesome.

Steve Austin: Look, I will not work for the OSO, period!

Oliver Spencer: Why? Why? Because you had an experience this afternoon that made you feel a little like, oh, some kind of a Frankenstein monster, eh? And now you hold the OSO responsible for those feelings simply because we gave you those two legs and that arm and that eye to see out of? That what you're talking about, eh? That's what you're feeling? Well, let's cut through this nonsense. We're pressed for time. If the OSO were an artillery outfit we would very simply pick up the telephone and call a foundry and have a cannon designed and built for us. We are not, however, an artillery outfit. We do need a different kind of weapon. A weapon that is potentially far more destructive than a cannon. It must be mobile and self-propelled in the field, under any circumstances over any terrain. It must be able to reprogram itself in the field on the basis of new information and altered circumstances. It must have superior strength, stability, and utter dependability. Now those were our specifications.

Steve Austin: And I'm the result.

Oliver Spencer: You are the result.

Steve Austin: One robot.

Oliver Spencer: No, actually, we would've preferred a robot. A robot doesn't have emotional needs and responses. You do. We have you because you are the optimum compromise in the present state of technology, Mr. Austin. A cybernetic organism. Part machine, part human being. The cyborg. Yes, we've had to settle for that.

Steve Austin: [ with his natural left-hand violently back-hand slaps the crap out of Oliver Spencer ]

Oliver Spencer: Mr. Austin. We didn't order you into the lifting body you were testing. We didn't order it crashed. We merely picked up the pieces and unlike Humpty Dumpty put you back together again. In some ways I think even better than before.

Steve Austin: If only these feelings of mine wouldn't keep getting in the way, right?

Oliver Spencer: Yeah, something like that.

Dr. Rudy Wells: I wanna show you something, Steve. This is your arm.

Colonel Steve Austin: That's it, huh?

Dr. Rudy Wells: Mmm-hmm. We're rather proud of it. There's a manual that goes with it. It has 840 pages. I'll give you a copy. As you can see, it's not finished yet but I just wanted to give you a sense of the - the basic structure. Look at it, Steve. There's nothing else like it in the whole world. This is a nuclear powered electrical generator that runs this motor. This motor provides power for the manipulation of the arm and hands and fingers. It's infinitely more powerful than your own arm. This is your arm, Steve. It'll be covered with skin that'll match your skin in color and texture. The number of hairs on your forearm.

Suspicion Grows In Alleged Carjacking -- But Police Say Mother Not A Suspect In Case

AP

UNION, S.C. - Despite growing public suspicion against a mother who claims her two sons were kidnapped in her car, neither she nor anyone else is a suspect in the "impossible" case, investigators said yesterday.

Union County Sheriff Howard Wells refused to confirm or deny reports that Susan Smith had failed a police lie-detector test.

"We're trying to corroborate her story because not only is she the victim in this case, but the public is trying to make her the suspect," he said.

Smith's sons - 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex Smith - have been missing since Tuesday night. She said a gunman commandeered her car and then forced her out, driving away with the children strapped in safety seats.

No significant leads have turned up despite national publicity and hundreds of calls to a tip line.

Smith and her husband, David Smith, from whom she filed for divorce last month, have been questioned repeatedly by police.

Authorities were trying to find a motive.

"We haven't had a ransom demand," Wells said, and no one seemed "mad at the family."

Callers to a phone-in show at Greenville station WSSL were frustrated, sympathetic and suspicious. Many questioned Susan Smith's story, and others defended her.

Shoppers outside a Wal-Mart store in Union also had mixed emotions.

"I don't believe the family had anything to do with it," said Pat Gibson.

Penelope Eison, however, shook her head and said the lie-detector reports made her "mad" at Smith.

Anonymous sources told The Greenville News and The State in Columbia that Smith did not pass a lie-detector test. The Charlotte Observer reported that the test results were inconclusive. It was unclear what questions she failed.

Wells said he had no immediate plans to question Smith again and cautioned against focusing on any individual.

"You have to be aware of public speculation and allegations," he said. "Persons automatically assume things when an investigation goes this long. . . . Naturally, people are going to speculate."

But Wells added, "We have not ruled out anything."

A relative who answered the door at the family's home said there would be no comment.

At the Smiths' church last night, parishioners wept during a candlelight vigil that included prayers for the boys, their parents and the alleged abductor.

The FBI set up a computerized system to help organize the mountain of evidence and other data coming in to investigators, said Special Agent James Oppy. He estimated up to 20 federal agents were on the case.

UNION, S.C. - Deputies searched Susan Smith's home yesterday, more than a week after she reported her two young sons were taken in a carjacking.

There was no word on whether the search revealed clues in the disappearance of 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex Smith.

Smith said she gave permission for the search. "It hurts to know that I may be accused," she told NBC-TV. "I do understand why they would do what they are doing."

Sheriff Howard Wells has said Smith and her estranged husband, David, are not suspects but that no one has been ruled out.

Susan Smith told authorities an armed man forced her out of her car Oct. 25 and took off with Michael and Alex still in their safety seats.

Small Town, Nation Ask: Why? -- Boyfriend Wrote That He Didn't Want Smith's Kids, Say Police

By Jim Clarke

AP

UNION, S.C. - She spun a heartbreaking tale of being dumped on a lonely road by a carjacker who abducted her two young sons. Today, she was jeered by spectators and covered her face as she headed for the courthouse.

Susan Smith, whose tearful pleas for her sons' return inspired a nationwide vigil, was charged with killing 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex. And the nine-day search by authorities and hundreds of volunteers ended where their mother's story began: at John D. Long Lake, where a car with two small bodies was found.

CNN, citing an unidentified source, said Smith became a strong suspect when investigators found a letter from a boyfriend telling her he wanted to be with her but he "did not want any kids around."

WIS-TV in Columbia said it received a letter today from a lawyer representing a Tom Findlay of Union, identifying Findlay as the boyfriend. According to the station, the statement said Findlay broke off the relationship with Smith on Oct. 18 because he was not ready to assume the responsibilities of being a father. It also said he knew nothing about the killings.

The station would not identify the lawyer, and there was no answer today at the phone number listed for Tom Findlay in Union.

Emotions were high as Smith, 23, was driven from the York County Detention Center in Rock Hill, where she was held overnight, to the Union County courthouse for her first hearing on two murder charges.

"Hold your head up! You're a baby murderer!" shouted Gloria Smith, one of those in the pack.

After coming to the courthouse, though, Smith opted not to attend a brief hearing. Her lawyer, David Bruck, waived her right to a bond hearing, and Circuit Judge Larry Patterson said she would remain in custody without bond.

Bruck is a death-penalty expert, but he said, "That is not the reason I was retained." Solicitor Thomas Pope, the prosecutor, had said he would consider seeking the death penalty against Smith.

Bruck would not discuss a possible defense strategy or other aspects of the case. All he would say about Smith was that "she is heartbroken."

Because of local officials' concerns about her safety, Gov. Carroll Campbell signed an order transferring Smith to state custody at the Women's Correctional Center north of Columbia, S.C.

Smith's burgundy 1990 Mazda was pulled out of the lake last night, the bodies of two children in the back seat.

The children drowned when the car was submerged, Union County Sheriff Howard Wells said today. He said it was "accurate" to conclude that the children were alive when the car went into the lake.










http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodenticide


Rodenticide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Rodenticides are a category of pest control chemicals intended to kill rodents.

Single feed baits are chemicals sufficiently dangerous that the first dose is sufficient to kill.

Rodents are difficult to kill with poisons because their feeding habits reflect their place as scavengers. They will eat a small bit of something and wait, and if they don't get sick, they continue. An effective rodenticide must be tasteless and odorless in lethal concentrations, and have a delayed effect.


Poisonous chemicals

Anticoagulants

Anticoagulants are defined as chronic (death occurs after one to two weeks after ingestion of the lethal dose, rarely sooner), single-dose (second generation) or multiple-dose (first generation) rodenticides, acting by effective blocking of the vitamin K cycle, resulting in inability to produce essential blood-clotting factors — mainly coagulation factors II (prothrombin), VII (proconvertin).

In addition to this specific metabolic disruption, massive toxic doses of 4-hydroxycoumarin or 4-hydroxythiacoumarin and indandione anticoagulants cause damage to tiny blood vessels (capillaries), increasing their permeability, causing diffuse internal bleedings (haemorrhagias). These effects are gradual, developing over several days, but claims that they are painless are unfounded: in humans both warfarin poisoning and haemophilia commonly cause moderate to severe pain from bleeding into muscles and joints. In the final phase of the intoxication, the exhausted rodent collapses in hypovolemic circulatory shock or severe anemia and dies calmly. However, because of the duration of discomfort and pain before death it has been suggested that the use of rodenticides can be considered as inhumane.

The Confession

On Thursday, November 3, 1994, the ninth day since the carjacking and disappearance of the Michael and Alex Smith, their parents, Susan and David rose early to prepare themselves for interviews on three television network morning programs. Susan and David sat together holding hands on the Russells' living room sofa during their interviews. On CBS This Morning, Susan was asked if she had any involvement in her son's disappearance. Susan answered the question by saying, "I did not have anything to do with the abduction of my children." Susan added that, "Whoever did this is a sick and emotionally unstable person."

Khrushchev has also shown a penchant for clever stratagems designed to entrap and confuse opponents and to increase pressures on them to grant concessions. His exploitation of the U–2 incident was intended to produce a storm of protests against US policy and to embarrass President Eisenhower on the eve of the Paris summit conference. Khrushchev confined his initial announcement of the shoot-down to bare details and then sat back to await the expected disavowal from Washington. After the US issued the cover story of a missing NASA research U–2, Khrushchev announced that he had withheld information that the pilot and aircraft were in Soviet hands, “because had we told everything at once, the Americans would have invented another version; just look how many silly things they have said.”
