It seems to me hard to fathom with a case with no body, no physical evidence of a crime and, essentially, no smoking gun, that someone can go to prison for something that cannot be proven that is an astonishment!

The news reports added another interesting detail. As one of the children was planning on having a wedding in the backyard of their home, the investigation lead the police to dig up the back yard to look for Mrs, Racz's body.

The poor children being subjected to reading all of the letters and their home being turned upside down after 16 year of waiting and wondering....

I watched the Dateline program about this case. I have been on several juries, myself, and, honestly, I was a bit surprised the jury found him guilty on just the circumstantial evidence. At least from what was broadcast on the program.

I was curious about the $25,000 he supposedly gave his wife. The Dateline website has very little info. about the cash. As best I can determine, he withdrew the money, but it's not mentioned if in fact it was deposited to her account.

I'd be curious to know if his finances were ever examined. Whether he had $25,000 extra in his finances/assets for which he is unable to explain, or if the $25,000 was actually deposited (and I assume remained)into her account, or if the $25,000 is missing or unaccounted for could be suggestive of different conclusions. I find it substantially relevent whether the money is unaccounted for or not.

One of her complaints was about his penny-pinching ways. Someone so concerned about "appearance" and money, as he is portrayed, may be reluctant to simple "dispose" of $25,000. Greed has been the down-fall of many before and will undoubtedly continue to be again.

Is anyone aware of the $25,000?

I forgot to ask if there was any explanation as to why Ann was supposedly resorting to feeding the kids McDonalds the night of her disappeasrance. She had promised them pizza and the Boboli was still out, ready to be prepared.

What was her reason or the explanation/theory for her going to McDonalds?

If CBS wants to become number one in news, I suggest putting Stone Phillips in place of Katie Couric NBC & ABC will be far, far, far behind.

Throughout your investigative report not once did you suspect the boyfriend. What if she as the husband said left to think strait and went to the boyfriends to break off the relationship and he killed her. I can't believe a so called investigative show did not once mention that possibility.?

Very interesting show. Similar to the current Drew Peterson case. Wonder if this will turn out the same, but hopefully sooner than 16 - 17 yrs!
Do the sisters get along since they have different thoughts about their father's guilt?
