Guilty

When this site was in its previous incarnation, I’d written an article about how I believed that Hans Reiser was responsible for the disappearance of his wife. I was basing this on the fact that I believed no body would be found and that the circumstantial evidence would be enough to bury him. I’d taken a lot of shit from people about this because of how I was treating him more as a criminal than someone who was simply “misunderstood because of his genius”. A jury seems to agree with me.

So lets take another look at the key factors that I’d pointed out:

1. He acted very suspicious for an “innocent” man who was being investigated for the disappearance of his wife.
2. The carpet and passenger seat were removed from his car.
3. Traces of her blood were found in his home.

It could easily be argued that there’s no evidence directly tying him to this but an endless list of circumstantial evidence can be just as, if not more damaging.

Now unless Nina Reiser turns up alive somewhere, this is the bed that Mr. Reiser made and now he has to lie in it — in a jail cell.
