A Mother Disappears The Day After 9/11

[mrscannoli]

1. On the day of September 11th, and subsequent days thereafter, everybody was riveted to the tv with loved ones close by. Why was she out at a bar on September 11th when her 4 kids were at home? Especially when she lives in New York!?! Her behavior towards the end was very odd, and she was hanging out with odd people.

2. What 23 year old man dates a married 35 year old woman with 4 kids who is still living with her husband, moves to a different state, and buys her a house?? All to find out she isn''t as interested in him as he is in her. Then he is the last person to see her alive.

3. Why does Cal''s reaction send up red flags? His soon to be ex-wife is dating multiple men, and they have clearly both moved on. They were far from being in love. It may be a sad truth, but how many people who go through horrible divorces would truly be devastated if the other person went missing?

4. Usually, you can trust the family and friends of a victim as to their instincts to who did it, but it is obvious that Michele hid quite a lot from her friends and family %u2013 her marital problems for many years, here new boyfriends, and what else?

I''m speaking about this case from strictly a law standpoint concerning reasonable doubt. Do I think Cal was capable of committing the crime? Absolutely. Do I think he did? I don''t know. Should he be convicted based on a bloody rug? NO WAY! Were there other people capable of committing the crime (ie: RAPIST)? Absolutely.

Clearly Harris is a psycho. FOr those of you that think that you need a body for "hard evidence" has never heard of hydrochloric acid and remember another thing, he had "connections" in the car business. Michele''s body could have been put in a trunk, the car sent to a crusher and then melted down. Your next can of soup might contain what was once Michele Harris.
Calvin Harris (why does everybody refer to him as Cal like they are all old buddies?) is a puke and anyone that knows him or has worked for him knows this.
Harris''s girlfriend that he was cheating with loves an abusive relationship. She was in another one with yet another car dealer that put her in a hospital several times in Cortland.

I was very surprised at the treatment of this Owego case (the disappearance of Michelle Harris) on 48 Hours. I don''t even understand why everyone is assuming that the woman was murdered. She''s just missing. We don''t know that she''s dead. I was shocked that they tried (and succeeded in) convicting her husband of murder. And I felt that Erin Moriarty was very biased in her assumptions about Cal Harris''s guilt. I thought that the producers of the show were just trying to lead the viewer into believing that he''s guilty--so they could create a classic murder-mystery twist ending, where the murderer turned out to be a completely different person. I hope one day this case will be solved.

I just don''t believe that someone should be found guilty of murder when there''s no hard evidence that a murder even took place and just because of a little odd behavior. Also, his lack of concern over the disappearance of his estranged wife doesn''t even really seem that odd to me. Personally, I found it odd that there was at least one man Michelle was seeing that her close friends knew nothing about. In any case, it seems to me there are still a number of possible suspects in this case and several leads that were never really followed up on.

I think I should also point out that she lived in that house with him. I challenge anyone who thinks he is guilty to give me a clear argument to why he is beyond the shadow of a doubt guilty. Exactly, you can''t.

I just watched this episode (first time seeing this show). As the show progressed I was waiting for some huge piece of evidence to clearly incriminate Harris, but was suprised that none came up. I am shocked and appalled that he was found guilty in the first trial. From what the show illustrated, there was no body, no weapon and no tie between Harris and the so-called victim. Only hunches and hear-say. We don''t even know if she is dead! He was convicted because they found blood in his house? How do we know HE is the one who drew that blood? How do we know if she died as a result? There is NO PROOF at all.

There isn''t enough evidence to convict, the family just wants to ease their pain and blame anyone for this murder and investigators want a scapegoat after 4 years of incompetency. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!

I didn''t know that he had a new trial today. What happened at the trial?

[braxty1]

They need to check Tubbs; he could of been paid to say he saw her that morning. It''s obvious who done it (Cal). The evidence is overwhelming even if there''s no body. He did it and he''s got the money to pay someone (Tubbs) to come up and say something as simple as seeing her that morning with a guy that he says who definently doesn''t look like Cal. It''s also weird that he doesn''t come forward until after the verdict was read. So someone had to of came up with a back-up plan incase he was read a guilty verdict(Cal). It''s just way to OBVIOUS.

Harris was just granted a new trial at 2 pm today.
