So Laci Peterson's husband has been arrested for her murder, and the murder of their eight-month old, unborn baby. I was having breakfast with friends this morning and one of them called him a monster. I'm not so sure - the truly frightening notion is that he is not a monster at all.

When confronted with a choice - leave or kill - why do some people kill. What's so hard about leaving? I'm sure we'll hear it was an accident - that was Matthew Solomon's defense here on Long Island some years back. His wife disappeared on Christmas Eve too.

And while the investigators were right in that real life does not imitate CSI, or any other crime drama on television, don't these people know that they will eventually be caught? What makes them think they will get away with murder? I wish I knew.
