Suspicious Death in Wolfeboro

Heaven · 07-23-2009, 10:43 AM

I thought the car key club was for couples (?), and how would that work in her case?

gokart-mozart · 07-23-2009, 05:44 PM

The Union Leader is advertising on their website "an exclusive update in the Stacey Burns homicide probe" coming tomorrow.

Wonder what they know?

goosejr · 07-23-2009, 06:22 PM

I hope people don't get lost in the rumors and innuendo.

Stacey may have had her faults, (please name one of us who does not) but be aware that she was not anything but sweet. She was approachable, funny, and caring.

Still thinking of her and mourning the loss......

Lengthy article in this morning's on-line Union Leader in reference to the crime. Story can be read HERE!

Much of the story centers around an interview with ex-boyfriend Jim Vittum.

tis · 07-24-2009, 06:55 AM

Wow, I am surprised he talked.

Lokks like he didn't understand the ex part about being the ex-boyfriend. But it is easy to see how he earned the ex prefix and how he earned a 14 hour interogation.

gokart-mozart · 07-25-2009, 07:39 AM

Well, if I were Mr. Vittum's lawyer, I would quit.

But his interview does provide some more fuel for various speculations. He's obviously been a suspect from the beginning. Despite his now confirmed movements in and out of the house, and the dead woman's blood on his hands, he hasn't been arrested. So, it's likely that there are competing scenarios that CSI Wolfeboro are working on.

Two things stand out from the interview.

First: The "mistake" she made Friday night. It's a longstanding rumor that she had a new BF, and that the new BF and Mr. Vittum had a punchup Friday night. But why a "mistake"? This either further implicates Vittum as a jealous ex, or introduces a new factor into the equation. What kind of "mistake" gets you killed?

Second: The "scores of problems" in her life that she was working on "getting help". What kind of help? When does reaching out for help get you killed? How about if you reach out for help from the police?

This interview certainly raises public suspicion about Mr. Vittum far beyond Wolfeboro. But it also gives amateur detectives some new things to think about.

chowda · 07-25-2009, 10:03 AM

I understand he must be sick of living under the cloud of suspicion and getting stared at everywhere he goes. Now he is going to be getting stares due to his stupidity for participating in this article. He obviously has zero class for stating she was "hot" and linking her to a married man. Didn't he supposedly care for her? What about her kids and family's feelings? LOSER.

Wolfester · 07-25-2009, 10:10 AM

Yep, the "big mistake" was that the children knew she was with another man, yet he is the one that had the emmotional day.

Months after she is dead he is talking about how hot she was, and that guys were hitting on her all the time, being pressured by married men.

There seems to be theme of jealousy through out this tale.

chowda · 07-25-2009, 01:22 PM

I just can't get over this. Did he even think over his words, or the impact they would have on her reputation or family, before this interview? What a moron. He didn't help himself at all, and made her look bad at the same time. As if there aren't enough jerks out there trying to jump to conclusions about her already. I also agree with his stupidity contributing to the "ex" factor. I personally don't think he did it, I'm leaning towards the flight attendant. I don't think he has even the smallest shred of intellect to have gotten away with something like this for so long.

Good point....it would seem there is just no way this guy is bright enough to have covered his tracks for even a little while.
Probably did not do it.

Wolfester · 07-25-2009, 02:54 PM

I agree, but there is a disturbing constant theme here.

What's up with the words "big mistake"? Most people think it is a "big mistake" that someone is dead. He thinks it was a "big mistake" that a single person had an adult relationship? Sounds like it was a bigger mistake to him, then the children, since he was very emmotionally drained.

Why would he bring up that she was hot and being hit on by other guys? Why would he bring up intimate adult details of the early part of their relationship? There was an attraction prior to the divorce? but no cheating? Why would anyone even be talking about stuff like that after what happened?

Seems like an extraordinary focus on other men and cheating etc. It would be easy to believe that maybe things didn't go as well for him as he says that night.

Maybe if is innocent, he will learn his life will be easier if he stays away when a woman breaks up with him. But it doesn't look like he will ever have to worry about a woman breaking up with him again, since it is probably going to be pretty hard getting a first date.

Please be careful what you quote, the article said:
"Vittum said some of his blood may have been on Burns' hands because she helped pull out a splinter that night, with the help of one of her daughters and a friend. "I have witnesses for all that."

gokart-mozart · 07-25-2009, 10:11 PM

Thanks for the correction.

tis · 07-26-2009, 06:46 AM

I don't think he fought with the new boyfriend that night, as the new boyfriend was out of town. I heard he did have a fight though with another guy though.

Vittum had an altercation with the married man that had been "pressuring" her. The new person she had recently begun seeing was out of town that night as you said. It is this person's ex that is the flight attendant in question. So maybe Vittum's statement of "coward, whoever he is" should have been "he or she".

jpskate8 · 07-31-2009, 04:45 PM

Any one know if the new man she was seeing was Jim Lawery?
I had herd it was.....

The "out of town new person" was not J.L., the married person was not J.L. either.

winnipugs · 08-01-2009, 08:40 AM

omg could the rumor mill go any further!! this woman has kids who are on the internet and i dont think they need to reed of the key club b.s.. leave stacey with some dignity, she was an amazing person with a heart of gold. she was 41 years old, an adult, those kids always came first , and what she chose to do with her time was HER business. guys just becareful as to what you post as there are little eyes that might be curious and read here.

chowda · 08-01-2009, 03:58 PM

I agree w/ WinniPugs. It amazes me as to how many people that didn't even know her at all, suddenly seem to know every intimate detail of her life. How would they know for a fact about her participating in "key clubs" or drugs unless they themselves were there partaking in the same things right there with her.

As for J.L. COME ON, SERIOUSLY If there had been anything going hopefully he would have shown a little more respect at the memorial service other than sitting there smacking gum the entire time.

gokart-mozart · 08-01-2009, 04:53 PM

It's a nice idea that what one chooses to do with one's own time, or one's own private life, is nobody else's business.

It's even true, up to a point.

That point is long past when you wind up dead, leaving five motherless children and a hole in your community. IF "private" behavior caused this crime or even set it up, then it isn't no one's business any more.

It's everyone's business.
