The FBI is searching the former home of Wade Weaver in Oregon City. Weaver has been in the public eye for some time during the investigation and even told the press that he was probably the prime suspect.

The coverage of these horrible events has been intensive, especially in Oregon.



Investigators have discovered two sets of remains at the home. One of which, at this writing, has been identified as that of Miranda Gaddis (see picture below):



Strangely enough a newspaper reported that the father of suspect Ward Weaver is on Death Row in California for two murders, including that of a 23-year-old woman whom he kidnapped, raped and killed before burying her body in the yard of his home.

Thankfully, Ward Weaver is already being held on an unrelated rape charge.

City Compiles List of Dead and Missing From Sept. 11

By THOMAS J. LUECK

The New York City medical examiner released a list yesterday of 2,819 people it said were killed or missing in the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center.

The list, the most complete official accounting to date of the victims of the attack, was prepared in advance of the Sept. 11 anniversary observance at ground zero, which is being planned by City Hall. At that event, the names of victims are to be read by former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, other dignitaries and victims' family members.

The release of the list before the observance had been requested by several news organizations, including The New York Times. Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner, said the list was not intended to be a final accounting of victims, but was not likely to revised before the anniversary. The names released yesterday could not be verified independently after they were provided to news organizations beginning about 3 p.m.

The medical examiner's list was shorter by four names than one being used by the Police Department. Ms. Borakove said the four names were deleted because they included a woman listed twice, by both her married and maiden names, and three others who were reported missing shortly after Sept. 11 by people who have not been in further contact with the city.

The medical examiner's accounting included a breakdown by age, finding that the largest number of victims ranged from 30 to 42.

It said the largest number of people of the same age were those who were 37 years old, of which there were 121 victims. There were six victims 4 years old or younger, and four victims 80 years old or older, the report said. The children were believed to have been passengers aboard the planes that crashed into the trade center.

I was watching, listening and laughin at Let the Bodies Hit the Flo. It's a flash movie set to Drowning Pool's hit Bodies. The lead singer of Drowning Pool was found dead in the bunk of their tour bus on the Ozzfest tour on August 14, 2002.

Right away I hear that a young rockstar has died and my mind goes directly to drugs. Strangely enough, Williams' autopsy was inconclusive. It's going to be interesting to find out what actually happened. He was only 30 years old.

Carol's family went to Zimbabwe a number of times when she was young. So the recent troubles are of specific interest around our house. Bob Swift (the man on the left in the picture) was the Tour Operator with whom they stayed.

Mr Swift has also been active throughout the years as the VP of the Commercial Famrmers Union and as a patron of the Sebakwe Black Rhino Trust. Not too mention being involved in the civil war in Zimbabwe.

The Caddicks (Carol's family) befriended he and his family and are concerned about what's happening over there. I guess we'll update as we find things out.

According to Yahoo! News Vancouver born actor turned race car driver, Jason Priestly was nearly killed and broke his back in a racing accident in Kentucky yesterday.



Priestly was one of the stars of the former hit series Beverly Hills 90210 created by Aaron Spelling.

Hopefully Jason will make it through this none the worse for wear. We're pulling for you here in Vancouver. You're a good Canadian kid, as Hockey Night in Canada guru Don Cherry would say.
