Coming Soon to a TV Near You...

First and foremost, many apologies for the long hiatus between posts. I really need to try and keep up with this a little more frequently (we're not even going to mention the Barista), but can promise everyone that there have been some good reasons for my abscence. But, I'm not one for excuses, so away we go with the topic:

I'm not exactly sure what this woman is trying to make us believe, but Amy Jacobson may very well be the dumbest "smart person" I have ever seen. Well, ok... I've never actually "seen" her in person. However I did "see" her in a bathing suit on television the other day peeking her lovely... eyes out of Lisa Stebic's home in Plainfield, IL. Yeah... that Lisa Stebic.

For those of us who don't already know, Stebic has been MIA since last April and continues to be a rather large news story in the 'burbs of Chicago. Was she kidnapped? Was she killed? Did she skip town? These are the questions that have been left unanswered for the past few months as there has been little to no leads or helpful information to her whereabouts. Obviously the husband in this story is a suspect (as of 7-11-07), but I think everyone saw that coming.

Enter Amy Jacobson.

Mrs. Jacobson (notice I say "Mrs." because she is married) is a former (and I say "former" because she was fired) news anchor of NBC 5 Chicago who was assigned to the Stebic case when the story first broke. Apparently, Mrs. Jacobson eventually befriended Stebic's sister in the process which lead to her eventual invitation to what appeared to be a pool party at Stebic's home a few days ago. During a routine follow-up on the story by CBS 2 Chicago, Jacobson was spotted on camera at this pool party with her children in tow. The tape of this can be seen on the Chicago Tribune website.

Obviously there are some assumptions that can be derived from this new development. A major assumption is, of course, whether or not Jacobson and Mr. Stebic have any romantic ties (which Jacobson has repeatedly denied on numerous occasions). Whatever the case may be, Jacobson had no reason being in that home, nor should she be in that home for any reason other than covering the story until the case is closed or Lisa is found.

Jacobson has since stated that she was invited to the home to "discuss the case" with Stebic's sister. Apparently he needed to go for a dip in the pool with her children in order to do so.

Anyway, I am calling it right now... so mark your calendars.

There will be a mini-series of this whole story weeks after the case is closed, and will probably be ran on CBS. Hopefully starring a naked Cameron Diaz, but I won't hold my breath.
