    So the woman beheaded as a witch isn't a witch after-all. Good gosh, they're a little slow in getting her name cleared, eh?

    lol, I like that 'plug nickle' saying !
    Just for the record, they're only called 'witches', and worse, when we split up ... same as most other people I guess ;-)
    Actually thats not 100% true, alot of people get on well with their ex's ...

    I only get along with my most recent ex...we're friends but it took me a while to get to that point with him. I think if he had to redo things though, he wouldn't have married his deceased brother's widow and would have continue to chase after me until this day. But when I closed the door on him...it stayed closed, w/no regrets.

    Missing Millionaire story is very sad, he could have at least left his child live. We have seen too many stories like that when the father kills the whole family for debts.

    Police havent entered the mansion yet as the fire service are still to warrant it as 'safe'. So, really its just speculation at this time ... but 'no smoke without fire', as they say (no pun intended). Lets hope the family are on a beach in Cancun and havent heard about the fire at their home ...
    ... I doubt that though somehow.
