Fresno lawyer Kim Aguirre discusses a bizarre set of circumstances that may be connected. Last month Attorney Aguirre was shot outside and his office and now one of his clients, Debbie Hawk, has disappeared from her home. The gun man was never caught.
Aguirre tells CBS 47, “Nobody’s been caught.” “So there’s somebody out there that would like me to be dead. That’s scary,” he added.
Aguirre hesitated to say there’s a connection between his case and Hawk’s disappearance.
He said Hawk called him after he was shot and asked whether he thought her ex-husband could have been to blame.
But he said Hawk was one of about ten clients who had the same question.
(CBS 47)
Police have stated that the ex-husband of Debbie Hawk is not a suspect although lately there was been some rather bizarre and fatal dealings with spouses and divorces as in the case with Darren Mack who allegedly shot the judge residing over his divorce and murdered his wife.

He is also accused of killing Grand Bahama school boys Mackinson Colas, 12; Junior Reme, 11; DeAngelo McKenzie 13; and Desmond Rolle, 14. The boys, who became known as the Grand Bahama “missing boys,” disappeared between May and September 2003.

The US military has only said the soldiers are missing after an attack on a US military checkpoint near Yousifiya, southwest of the capital Bagdad, Iraq on Friday. As politicians in Washington play games with ridiculous notions of announcing troop withdrawals in Iraq, our soldiers face real life situations every day. Now, brothers in arms look for their missing comrades.
The Defense Department identified the missing men as Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Ore. It said Spc. David J. Babineau, 25, Springfield, Mass., was killed in the attack. The three were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Ky.

Missing GIs Likely Taken Captive, Iraqi Official Says
BAGHDAD, June 18 — Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Sunday that two U.S. soldiers missing after an insurgent attack south of Baghdad appeared to have been taken captive, while U.S. troops searched for their comrades for a second day.

UPDATE: Al Qaeda-Linked Group Claims Kidnapping of GIs
BAGHDAD, Iraq — An Al Qaeda-linked group claimed Monday that it had kidnapped two American soldiers reported missing south of Baghdad, where 8,000 Iraqi and U.S. troops were conducting a massive search.
The umbrella group, called the Mujahedeen Shura Council, said it was holding the two privates — one from Texas and the other from Oregon — as well as four Russian diplomats kidnapped June 3 in Baghdad. It also claimed to have killed a fifth Russian.

Relatives of Missing Soldier Hope for His Return
His family is now hoping for the 23-year-old Houston soldier’s safe return after learning he was one of two servicemen missing in Iraq after an insurgent attack.
Kay Fristad, an Oregon National Guard spokeswoman, said she had a brief conversation with Tucker’s parents and they said he joined the military “to do something positive for the country.”
Menchaca’s wife, 18-year-old Christina Menchaca, of Big Spring, Texas, said military representatives told her Saturday they were taking “every means possible to find him,” she said.
“We’re basically just watching the news because no one else knows anything about it, no one has heard anything about it,” she said. “We’re just going by what the news has to say.”
Christina Menchaca said she married her husband in September and he deployed in October. The couple met through her brother, who served in the military with Kristian Menchaca.

UPDATE: Iraq Official: U.S. Soldiers’ Bodies Found
The unfortunate but expected outcome has been realized for the two brave US soldiers that were missing in Iraq. The bodies of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, OR were found on a street near the town Youssifiyah, close to the scene of the attack.

The sad end has come in the case of missing Gabrielle Bechen. Gabrielle Bechen’s body was found late Saturday buried at a horse farm a short distance from her home. Both she and her ATV were partially buried.
Her body was found late Saturday buried at a horse farm a short distance from her home, state police said. The ATV she had been riding was also found partially buried at a large manure dump site about one mile from her body, police said.
“Once the quad was located, there were several cadaver dogs that were brought in and they searched other areas around the farm, which led us to the location where ultimately Gabby’s body was found,” Trooper Joseph Christy told reporters at a news conference.
Police have charged Jeffrey Robert Martin, a 48-year-old caretaker at the farm, with several counts. He is charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and four counts of tampering with physical evidence.
State police and FBI investigators questioned Martin for several hours while searchers intensified their efforts at the farm.
Christy said police assumed there had been prior contact between the suspect and Bechen because she had visited the farm several times in the past to see the horses.
Officials did not give details about the possible cause or circumstances of the girl’s death. An autopsy has been scheduled for Monday.

Missing Girl’s Body Found

Police said the Martin admitted to killing Bechen and burying her on the farm.
Martin has been charged with several crimes, including homicide.

We are witness every day to the exploitation of our children by those that are older and in positions of authority. Teenagers are getting into compromising situations that they are ill prepared to handle. Some cases are where teens are having sex with there teachers. In other more bizarre cases we have teens flying off to the Middle East to meet with people they met on the internet.
Well, 15 year old girls need not worry in Colorado anymore. Your parents might have to and the communities you live in, but you will not. The brilliance of the Colorado Court of Appeals overturned the lower courts ruling and made it ok for 15 year old girls to enter into a common-law marriage. Unbelievable.
A 15-year-old girl can enter into a common-law marriage in Colorado, and younger girls and boys possibly can, too, a state appeals court ruled Thursday.
While the three-judge panel stopped short of setting a specific minimum age for such marriages, it said they could be legal for girls at 12 and boys at 14 under English common law, which Colorado recognizes.
The ruling overturned a lower-court judges decision that a girl, now older than 18, was too young to marry at 15.
The panel said there was no clear legislative or statutory guidance on common-law marriages, and that Colorado courts have not determined an age of consentage of consent.
For traditional ceremonial marriage, Colorado law sets the minimum age at 18, or 16 with parental or judicial approval.
So a 15 year old cannot drink, smoke or enter into a binding contract; however, some how in the eyes of the Court they have the decision making capability and maturity to marry. The unbelievable stupidity of the Courts lately is something to just shake one’s head at. Encouraging teens to marry is one of the most irresponsible things our liberal Courts have handed down in recent time.
So much for safety of minors or exploitation. Why do we say exploitation? Lets take a look at the case that prompted this disastrous decision.
Willis Rouse, 38, argued that he and the girl began living together in April 2002 and applied for a marriage license a year later. Did we mention that Rouse is serving time for escape and a parole violation? Did we also mention he was 38? The 15 year old’s mother even consented to the marriage and accompanied the girl and Rouse to obtain a license. Did we mention that Rouse was 38 and his bride to be was 15?
A judge invalidated the marriage, saying anybody under age 16 needed judicial approval for either common-law or ceremonial marriage.
Not any more according to the higher court. The Colorado court has made a decision that is paramount to State sponsored child exploitation. Every day we deal with predators attacking the children of this country, and we get this out of Colorado? OK, someone just needs to come out and say it.
WTF is a 15 year old girl doing with a 38 year old man with the blessing of her mother!!!
Without a marriage license this would be exploitation and rape. What are we supposed to presume what happened between these two prior to the attempted marriage?
The Law makers in Colorado need to step in here and do the responsible thing. Such a law cannot be allowed to exist in the 21 century with manipulative child predators and ignorant non-caring parents who think its fine for their daughter to marry someone 23 years her elder. This is not the 19th century where girls married early to give birth to children so they could help out on the farm.
How are we supposed to help protect our children, if we have courts that make rulings that are in direct conflict with that very principle? I hope the 15 year old’s is Colorado that decide to take advantage of this ruling do not decide to celebrate their nuptials with champagne. That would be illegal. You can marry, but not drink … how screwed up is this?
UPDATE: Looks like we actually do have some law makers upset. They best not just talk about it, but actually do something for a change.
Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald said she was appalled by the ruling and said lawmakers need to look at the issue next year when the Legislature reconvenes.
“That’s a child. You’re taking advantage of an undeveloped person, putting them in a situation that’s for life. That’s something we need to take a look at,” the Democrat said.

No you do not need to take a look at it … YOU NEED TO CHANGE IT!!!
